i don’t know how to describe what i am feeling right this very moment.  it’s better than when i got my recent job, and the anticipation to be part of something on the rise which i’ll be fully hands-on with is added with that.  i don’t know if the past valentine weekend had something to do with it as well, or my mobile phone turning three years old yesterday.  to cut the long story short, i’ll be starting on a new job on monday next week.  what’s good about it, is that i’ll be retaining the same normal schedule with the same days off.  i’ll be describing more of it in detail (including the company itself) in the next couple of entries, because i just can’t get over this super-charged positive feeling i had after leaving the building where i’ll be holding office soon earlier today.

 

what will i be, you may ask?  well, basically my new job function is to oversee the entire operations of the manila office, which includes–among other departments–customer support.  thankfully, my new boss will be a big british guy and he seems to understand my abilities, attitude, capabilities, and how i want to run things.  everything is straight-forward, no bullcrap and a “call-it-as-i-see-it” approach.  he also believes the kind of supportive work atmosphere i want to have compared to the ones i’ve been in.  nothing compares to the assurance being given of support and belief in one’s potential.  and my next boss is exactly that.

 

i still of course, have to get some things in order this week before i start.  medical examination and documents procurement are on top of the list, not to mention clearance stuff which will be quite easy.  i know that there are people who ain’t gonna be happy about this, but hey, when opportunity comes, i just grab it.  and did i mention that the office is in the capital’s business district?  this means less travel time, less travel expenses.

 

i missed watching three live programs earlier today (nba all-star game, latest season of the amazing race, and the live coverage of wwe’s no way out pay-per-view), but after that appointment, i could care less.  i’m revved up, excited, and finally being able to run my whole show.  if 2009 has been said to be a good year for people born in the year of the dragon, this may be the start of something big…  finally.  🙂

 

off-topic and just to recap what happened to me on valentine weekend, i just drowned myself in music.  alternative ballads and rock ballads filled my ears, and on the night of the 14th, i indulged myself in a dvd movie marathon:  the lake house, sweet november, and titanic.  what a way to spend being single on the day of hearts, eh?  yesterday marked the third anniversary of my mobile phone.  nothing special, just checked to see if it’s still working fine.  hopefully it won’t end up with me for another year… hehehehe…

 

i wish everyone a good week ahead.  i hope my happiness rubs off on everyone.  thanks to all those who prayed for me.  may you be rewarded 10 times over.  right now, a new chapter in my life begins…  🙂
