Confused? Don't Stop Believin'.=)

Until now, I haven't decided about what I really want to do.

I am not happy with my current job anymore so I'll be leaving the company soon. Right now, I'm just serving my 30-day turnover, so I'll be with the company until the 27th of February only.

Talking about the 27th of February, well that's the QR OD in Diamond Hotel. So I think I won't serve my last day at work anymore so I could attend the QR OD. hehe.=P I better have new photos ready by then.


But I still have a dilemma. I don't know if I'll be applying to another full time job while chasing a cabin crew position on the side. Well I wanna take a break first. I got too tired and stressed from work so I think I deserve some rest. But I'm also considering getting a part time job instead. Uhm, maybe doing online jobs such as writing and tutorials, or accepting research work, or doing modeling stints again, or just grab any "rakets" that come my way. Oh my, I'm so confused! I need to make money or else I'll be useless haha! Plus, I really want to pursue with my Masters, so I need to save up for it. Too bad, today's the deadline for application to the Masters of Public Management at the UP Open University, and I wasn't able to make it. I prefer to take it there 'coz there, I only needed to go to school during exams. Everything else happens online, so it's very ideal when I'll be working full time. But since I didn't make it to the deadline, I think I'm postponing that for next year.


Another option is putting up a business. But what business? Hmm and I just wish my parents could give me a capital. But I don't think they trust me much that I could grow a small business into a big one. So I think it will be better to do a business which involves a small capital only, which I could earn alone, and get some business partners who could contribute to the capital and to the business as a whole. My coffee shop plans won't be feasible now. I think I'll consider event productions and fashion retail instead.
 

If all else fails, I still have a backup plan haha. I decided to push through with my 2nd exam at P&G, which was originally scheduled last December. Good thing they allowed me to take the exam yesterday. Luckily, I passed! What's next is not to mess up with the interviews (which I'll found out when after they have emailed me on the Feb.6). It's been one of my dream multinational companies to work at. So I'm really keeping my fingers crossed.=)
 

Oh gosh, I'm really confused now. There are so many things running in my head and I just can't run away from them. I hope that everything will fall into place in the coming days.

But thanks to this inspiring song from Glee...I'm being positive! =) 

So now I'm telling myself...DON'T STOP BELIEVIN'!!!

Whatever It Takes...


...We'll keep trying!=)

That's the spirit! If you really want something, you gotta do everything to make it happen. In our case, it took us a plane ticket, a hotel accommodation and a little pocket money to move a bit closer to something we really want.

I am not actually referring to this as a dream because until now, I'm not really sure about what I really want in my career, or should I say, in my life? haha.=P But I think for those who were with me, what we're talking about is really a dream.

If only I didn't want a break from work, I wouldn't fly to Cebu. It was really unplanned. I just invited a friend to come with me and the moment she agreed, I immediately booked a ticket. I booked last Jan.19 for a roundtrip ticket (Cebu Pacific) dated Jan.23 (9:35pm) to Jan 27 (4:50am). I also announced to our forum in PEX that I'll be going to Cebu, that's why I got to join my fellow PEXers there.



It's actually my first time in Cebu and I almost missed the plane! I arrived at exactly 9am at the airport!!! Thanks to the help of the cab driver that it took us only 40 minutes from Marcos Highway to NAIA 3 haha! IF I came 5 minutes after 9, I think I wouldn't be allowed to board the plane anymore. It's the last trip to Cebu that day so I was really lucky to catch the plane before it's gone haha!=))

I stayed at Capitol Tourist Inn with my fellow PEXers. Though we're not all together in one room. One stayed somewhere else, while my friend who's originally with me stayed with her friend at another hotel since she's from a different flight.

We arrived at 9am at Marriott Hotel and there were already about a hundred girls in the room. The CV submission started after a few minutes. There were 3 QR representatives: one was a Chinese lady, one was a hot British guy (haha), and the other was Laura, the Argentinian lady whom I've met in Manila last Aug.'09 during the QR Assessment Day. There were also a lot of pretty girls from Cebu, Davao, Manila, and other nearby regions.




When it was my turn, Laura admired my suit in the photo, as well as the photo itself. She asked if I had it taken in Cebu, but I said it's from Manila. Well maybe it's just her way of finding out where I was really from. haha. She asked if it's my first time to apply in QR, but I said it was my 2nd time and that I've already met her during the Assessment Day. She asked what we did there so I answered that we had group discussions. I think she's verifying if I was really there haha. 

After me and my fellow PEXers were done. We had some pictorials outside the hall. haha. Only two among our group got a magic call, which meant that they're in for the Assessment the next day. However, they didn't manage to reach the final interview. But it's okay, we'll keep trying anyway. The most important part of our trip was spending the weekend together in Cebu, wherein we got to know each other even more, and we simply had fun!=) [I hope it shows in the photos haha]
