Manila for the first time II :(

whew! just done with my tasks... going back, new environment, new colleagues, new faces, everything!
How I'm supposed to interact with all those? so this is it, my saddest moment in my life, being apart with my loved ones', family, friends and the environment itself, it's totally different!. In that very second, how I wish to be home, to walk in my usuall way and to drop by in the park for just a simple sight seeing, breathing fresh air and simply enjoying the beauty of the nature unlike here, in manila, facing the busy people around me, busy and noisy streets (car's beeping all the time) and whoaw! the combustion engines that could make your respiratory system to shutdown. hahahaha! well, I have to live with it. But above all these of course, there are also good things that I want to share. Big big buildings, I was really amazed. All people are in their business suits busy answering calls, always in a hurry and wow the train, its very fun to ride and very fast too. That is why, expect a lot of people would prefer riding a train compared with the busses and jeepneys unless for very short distances. But there are still a lot of places here that I need to discover! Well, Manila for the first time isn't that bad after all. Just that, I can't stop myself from missing my Cebu Life. ;)

Manila for the first time :(

I never thought of going here in Manila ever in my life, maybe there are some but it's only for a vacation and nothing else. Since when I was in elementary we usually visit Negros every month of May for a vacation and fiesta and there I'm able to meet some of my cousins living from Manila and was invited, it was the start. There it started the thought of going to Manila but hey! wait... only for a "VACATION" and nothing more. And so I continued my life in Cebu until I finished my studies with a bachelors degree.

I started my first job in NCR Cebu Philippines as one of there Software Development Engineers. I specialized in InstallShield and so happy working with my colleagues until such time during my past time, one of my colleagues told me that HP was hiring an InstallShield Developer and that's it. From there, I almost couldn't imagine that I'm already here!! working in HP and guess what? MANILA :( well of course, this is my decision and to tell you frankly, the hardest decision I ever made in my whole life. Can you imagine being away from your family ever? for the first time? But I was thinking that Manila is not that far in Cebu and I could go home if I wanted to.

Okay, Manila. New environment, new colleagues, new faces, everything!

to be continued got to work.....
