Hello world... (05.26.2008)

Ready or not, here I come…

This is what's been playing in my head for the past few days. I've received an unexpected surprise last week. I will be assigned to our newest client at Manila. A pioneer as I may say, which is the scary part (hahaha).

As I've told my friends, I felt that I am a trainee excited and nervous to go to my "new" job. A fit description - leaving my "comfort zone" and embracing the "outside world" for new challenges and experiences. It's also a chance to meet new and interesting people that might eventually become my friends.

A brief backgrounder: I have been a member of the team that is responsible for the implementation and development of the in-house package/system that caters to the needs of the non-life insurance for four plus plus (4++) years. That is why it’s safe to say that I'm a bit adept in the in's and out's of this system. First, being delegated to the Accounting team (by means of draw lots hahaha) as a trainee, being assigned to numerous implementations and then gradually shifting to the Underwriting team and heading it for a while. Whew! What a journey it has been (*drama mode on*).

So, is it now obvious why my nerves are quite jittery? Aside from leaving my colleagues that I also treasure as friends, what bothers me a little is that I’ll be starting from scratch again, on my own. But it’ll be fun and exciting right? :P

A big THANKS to all the people that have helped me through these four fruitful years. I don’t want to mention names for I might forget somebody (hehehe). You all know who you are anyways, right? :D I'm just hoping that they won't forget me...

Too much drama eh? To think that I'm not resigning yet (hehehe).

Manila, Manila, I keep coming back to Manila... Hello again LRT, Robinson’s Place and SM Manila. It’s time to welcome me back :)
