And just like that, we're in 2019! I never really got into reading much of my past posts anymore because of the drama it carried. Haha! Big hug to my past self.
A lot has changed in the course of the years. I had healed. I had gone to corporate and left. I have a crazy dog. I would like to think that I have matured more and became stronger. A lot of unknown and unsure stuff still but better than before.
I'm really here to share bits of what my first week in my new work was!
Our office has a classic, timeless design that reminds me of my trips to the theater. The table layout makes it quite harder to talk with anyone. This maybe a good thing or not. The people are generally more formal and quiet. Legit corporate feel. They are nice but I still need a few more weeks to bond with them so I can know and understand their personalities and interests. Good thing I have a friend from my previous work to show me around and teach me the ways of the new company.
I love how we have a LOT of food options now with people who actually want to go out. Haha! It's quite heavy on the pocket but I'll see in the next weeks how it will affect me generally. Right now, I'm just enjoying the new tastes and rekindling with old ones! So far, we have tried: Pancake House (just learned about Booky discounts), Local Edition (just walked with them; no order lol), Pinkberry, Berde (my favorite so far! Baka bowl <3), Drip (tried their passionfruit), Bugong, and Landmark Food Court (had KFC lol). I have a funny feeling that I will seriously gain weight here. I think I already gained a pound from the past week and I haven't even tried the milk teas yet! I might go back to diet delivery food just to maintain weight.
I love that the office is more lax when it comes to phone usage, breaks, deadlines. I realized how hard and rigid our life was before. I don't complain though. It taught me discipline and respect that I need now. It helps me to be grateful instead of being entitled.
Work-wise, I'm still adjusting to their system and programs. Slowly but surely I will get there. I just have to stop second guessing myself or assume the worst in situations. I have to embrace the opportunity to grow and make mistakes especially when the tasks and design problems are different from what I have always been used to.
I'm excited to see what else is in store for me here. Hopefully a fulfilling career will ensue.
