Untitled

just got in the office this early morn
i know i have tons of work to do
i miss out on my deadlines and now the consequences i have to face
do my energy ready for the challenge of another OT-work
last night i tried my best to do it but it seems i really can't
been staying til midnight but i think my mood does not care at all

by the way i already got the oz offer
though i havnt acceptd it yet, i know its not a gamble
am still waiting for added info and details on my reloc
am happy for the salary fuckage and all
but i hav some questions left unanswered
and like they say it pays to be patient and proactive

just had a pep talk last week (FYI... pep=JEZ)
realized how important i am for the firm
i just want to hear how im faring and all
but my mind is decided that i have to go
so its useless to keep them persuading me
because i have set my mind of the oz life

and few months i hav to go
i realized how long i hav to wait
but the work is already rushing through
and i know that the waiting time will just come through
this time i will surely feel that life there is surreal
when i hav to face the challenges of life
i'll just think that dis is what i like

Job offer...

So this is how it feels to get accepted. I literally feel like shouting my lungs out and saying to the world that I already got accepted. Martha (my EY recruiter) called me awhile ago (just 10 minutes ago) and asked me if all the necessary parties are aware of my application before she process the contract. And even told me that she will be giving the written contract afterwards. This got me confused because she did not formally said any introduction of sorts. She just told me that I will receive the contract shortly. I asked her if this is already a job offer and she said yes. And at that point, I totally froze due to excitement that I cannot conceal it anymore and told my dad about it. It's like passing the board exams once again. The feeling is surreal and I am sure that this will make my day brighter that's why I'm gonna wear red today to show how excited my veins are (ewww..) Gotta run to office since I still have to tell my partner in-charge. Wish me luck.

Anxiously waiting...

I really really am anxious about the result of my application at Sydney. I can't wait to know if I am accepted. I have to know the result since this is very critical because I have to decide by Friday. Tomorrow, I will talk to my partner in-charge about my plans of leaving my current office. I really don't know how I will put on an alibi. But come to think of it, this is reality. This is what I want. This is something that I will not just decide for a day but I have already considered it since the aftermath of '05 busy season. I realized that I've served my purpose at SGV. I already learned enough and contributed positively to the firm. It is the high and right time to give myself a glimpse of the future that I really want. I believe that moving to Australia is one goal I will really want and would not regret. So whatever happens whether I get accepted or not. I think I have all the reason not to stay. For one, I can't stand the bulk of work which does not match my current salary. I do not get the value that is right for the services I'm rendering for the firm. Plus, the opportunity in working at a world-class firm being one of the best in training @ Oz. On a negative side (if ever I will not get accepted) I already have a fallback since last Thursday I already received a work offer in Jakarta. I would want to go there with my friends. But the thing is I have to decide ASAP and I need Sydney's results to close a decision.

My Personal Leave...

I really feel weak today not physically but from what I've been doing at the office. Though I have recently been under my asthma attacks, still don't have the energy to pursue things I gotta accomplish like ML, AWS, and all those crap. I mean look at my desk both at the office and at my home. It's a total wreck for crying out loud. I can't seem to find the intensity I need to boost my spirit in finishing all things that I still need to do.

Anyway since I am on leave at the moment. I rejuvinated. Found a bit inner peace in me. Caught up with my sleep, rest, and of course my unwatched DVDs that are begging to be watched. In short, I just bummed around. I still got a zillion things to wrap up at the office but I just can't seem to face the fact that I have to do it. I have to finish them in order to move on. In order to face another era of my life. I just can't focus this past few days. I think the reason is that I still don't know what I'm looking for. I still don't know if that is what I want. And I still have no definite plans of moving out. This uncertainty cripples my present. It makes the wounds look deeper. Til uncertainty diminishes and the picture clears, I think I can't move on. I still don't know what I am looking for.

Til then, i still have some hours left on my leave and gotta enjoy this thing!

The job hunting has just begun..

I started giving out my resume last month and guess what two firms have already given me various interviews. I am really anxious to move to another location. Not that I totally hate my current job. Its just that I want to attain my goal which is to live a stable life and build a nice career in a 1st world country. I want to establish a nice paying job that would help not only sustain my luxurious living but at the same time save for the rainy days. Right at this moment I feel that I can land a job somewhere down under. I can't imagine my life living alone and coping on my own. I have not tried staying at one place for more than 10 days. The last time I experience that was when I was in Korea where I work for 9 days. Its a wonderful experience but to be living in a totally diverse place is different. But I will always think positive. I know for a fact that I enjoy adventures, challenges, and exploring the different cultures.

As far as job hunting is concerned I am already on the 80-90% progress of closing a deal/job offer. I still have to make good on both of my last interviews. I have to see to it that I am really prepared when I go for the kill. The last reality check has been decades. I have to reassess what my goals are and my strengths and all those crap. The last time I had my interview was a disaster for me for not being able to practice and not being able to highlight my points. But I think I farely did well in some aspects (such as my experiences of IFRS). Well, what more can I do but wait. As what I am accustomed to be doing while waiting for the final outcome.. I have to get the positive and negative aftershocks. But I'd rather post it in another blog entry since I should be sleeping by now. I feel free by the way because I already told my immediate senior director about my plans. Although at first I did not see any trace of supportiveness in him. But as we talked more detail, I know for a fact that he understands my predicament and that somehow he would want to support me but he is just too cheesy to say anything regarding the career I chose to live my life.

Hopefully everything will turn out right. I just pray that whatever is the ultimate decision of my interviewers I will be able to accept them and concur that it is God's plan for my own improvement and living the life he wanted me to have.
