bursting beer belly

I was at work yesterday, sitting in front of the computer, when I heard the sound of a horn blowing from my pocket. No, I don’t keep a car in my pants; it was my mobile phone ringing. The caller wasn’t listed in my contacts, but I still answered. To my surprise, it was the HR department from Star Cinema on the line. You might be wondering why, but no, I wasn’t being offered an acting job—how I wish! It was regarding my application for a production position. I mentioned it briefly in my previous posts but never got the chance to share the details. It’s been more than a month since I last contacted them. Although they told us to wait for a callback after taking the profile exam, I called them three weeks later when I hadn’t received even a text message about the status of my application. They informed me that I was in the top eight among the applicants but hadn’t made it into the top four to be screened first for a panel interview.

I just realized, while reading my posts and trying to think of something to write, that accepting the position at NCCA has truly been life-changing. Since that day, I've noticed that I've been so preoccupied that updating my blog has become challenging.

Can't think of anything to write about today...

August has just hit the calendars, and by the end of this month comes the "-BER" months, which for Filipinos mean the beginning of the Christmas season. For me, August signifies fresh opportunities. Earlier, I filed my irrevocable resignation at TELUS. I've decided to accept the job at NCCA. I'm not yet sure if I've made the right choice, but one thing I know for certain is that I never thought it would be hard to leave TELUS. I never imagined that in just three weeks, I would establish myself in a company filled with newfound friends. There are many things I will surely miss about TELUS: my co-trainees and trainers, pulling up accounts, learning from modules, and the call simulations. Despite its brevity, I learned a lot from this experience. Though this move is crucial, I have to make it because this is life, and I need to move on. I've chosen the path that I believe will lead me on a journey of ups and downs. Tomorrow, I guess, is just the beginning. Fresh ...
