Haps that have Happed part 2

March of 2011
Nothing really happened. I kid. The month went so fast that I didn't really keep in mind that it was the month of graduation, my last month in school with my beloved teachers, friends, and classmates, and of course my best friend. It was hard for me knowing that the future seemed a little too vague. I wasn't sure of what was there to do, I didn't know what to expect since I didn't really have any plans in mind.

 

These were the bouquets I received on my graduation day, one from Mama and the other from my best friend. Thank you.

Here's Papa, my brother Bingo, and Mama while we were waiting for our food at some place to have lunch after our commencement exercises.

And these are some of the few photographs taken on the same day. I miss my friends and I miss school/ing. I miss being with my best friend almost every free time that I have in between classes.

 I was one of the lucky Davaoenyos who witnessed the Urbandub vs Powerspoonz's attack of the south gig last 26th of March. I watched it with my brother, my best friend and another good friend of mine. It was really fun. I adore Urbandub since high school.

The end of March came the hard times for the family when my Lola Gaya was sent to the hospital and stayed there for many days. I couldn't even look at her because tears just come out if I did. It was harder for my father, being the oldest among the children, he had to be strong for his mother and his siblings.

Lola stayed in the ICU (intensive care unit) for days.

And oh, this was the month when I started working. I was employed at a Davao-based petroleum company. I was officially employed on the 28th. It was really hard for me especially during the first few weeks. There were lots of adjustments to be done, a new environment to adapt to. Good thing was the people in there were nice and helped me adjust, especially to the one whom I was to replace because she resigned for some reasons I don't really know. She taught me about her work patiently. And also to my immediate supervisor who was also very patient in teaching/orienting me about my work.

Though the salary isn't that enough for me, it doesn't really matter. I am currently enjoying my work for now though I've had flaws, which makes me really disappointed, I am really trying my best to be better at work, and  of course keeping in mind my obligations as a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a best friend to my loved ones.

Enjoy the week ahead!

*Posts for April, May and June shall be available when I get to have a little free time. ;) thank you

February of 2011
I recall, was one of the busiest months of the year (as of today) since it was the time of last-school-requirements completion and compilation month. Cramming is the best word to describe it. Unplanned sleepovers-that-never-were occurred pretty often just to be at pace with the demands of the academe.
I now find it difficult to blog about Feb and need the help of photographs to keep this post going.

This happened to be one of the most precious events of those times, sleep, which was barely available and this just proved how productive sleepovers were: I got a final grade of 90 in my Mgt Consultancy subject. Yes, I am happy like that.

 Early February, a week after the annual jobs fair at school, I happened to receive a call from a bank informing me that I am one of the chosen applicants to take their pre-employment exam. The funny part was the night before the call, I was out for a despedida party of a former classmate and  got home drunk. They rang first at around 10am and decided not to take the call knowing that I was still slightly intoxicated that time.

 14th of Feb, I had a date with my best friend at Tiny Kitchen, realized that it would be our last year and V-day together at school. The day didn't end without a date with my family, just a dinner at Coco's.

This photo was taken at the Crocodile Park, still part of a school requirement (Feasibility Study). Holding an albino python wasn't really part of the plan since our (my groupmates: Joan Carla Catacutan, Jhesyl Palanca, and Benjamin Fajardo III, and I) purpose was to know the price range of the different recreational/outdoor activities that were being offered in there. But since it was there already when we were on our way out, we figured that we had to avail it cause it may not happen again.

I have a blog?

I checked on my dashboard and it said:

It has been 5 long months, I reckon, since my last blog post. Though every now and then I get the idea of having constantnodols updated, I get eaten up by the sloth in me. And due to the long hiatus of being the lazy blogger, if I may say, I have decided to do separate posts on what haps have happed for each month of the said hiatus.

I also blame Twitter (@paulacrayola) for keeping me away from blogging since this microblogging site is too easy to update using gadgets like cellphones/iPods and a 140-character post, honestly, is a no-brainer which makes it a lot easier. Ha.

Now, let me start...
