Haps that have Happed part 3

April of 2011

Came the time of real hardwork. I was on my first week at work and hell, it was hard and fun at the same time, but most parts got me thinking that being at school is a lot easier that working your ass off to earn money at a place entirely different from what you've been used to.
That's when I realized that time is not mine anymore. I had to wake up real early, 5 in the morning, the least, and prepare for the family's breakfast since we no longer have a helper at home.
I leave the house with my father, rarely with my mother, at seven and arrive at the office a few minutes before eight. I work from eight to six in the evening, and pretty much often when tons of things have to be done, I go overtime. Though my work is really, really simple, still, I have to put in mind that mistakes are not very welcome in the field. And as you might have guessed, I've had too many of them. Saying sorry cannot take them back, you really have to find a way to make them right again, things like asking the boss on how to mitigate them, negotiating with the bank, and too many more things I need not tell. (kasi nahihiya na ako)
Anyway, since my work has gotten much of my time, it was not only I who needed to adjust, but also my family and my best friend. I had lesser time to skype with my sister, wash the dishes, do some chores, talk with my family, and all those stuff that I enjoy doing. I even deactivated my facebook. My best friend also did her on-the-job training at Dole Philippines, 4 hours away from Davao, and goes home on weekends (until the last week of May). Time management was, and still is, very important to me at this time of my life. I wish I could manage my time better.

When I am not at home or at the office, weekends are spent with these people:

 But not too often anymore. The last time we saw each other was just last week but prior to that, it has been more than a month. Looking forward to seeing you all again!
