What life should offer, is what should you do?
I should sleep at 11PM tonight, but fortunately I've finished a part of my part time job which is enough for today. So I guess I have another 15 minutes to blog anything.
Since, I'm new to my job let's try to evaluate it.
Assumptions:
1.) I thought I would really be a DBA,
2.) Simple, peaceful, quite life - compared to Makati & Alabang
3.) No traffic
Note: My new company is IRRI (International Rice Research Institute)in Los Banos, where green trees abound.
Reality:
1.) I've proposed to develop the new features and convert some existing to eclipse-rcp and they approved it, so I guess it will be challenging. Right now, I'm working on a mobile project, which is really I didn't expect. But I'm enjoying it I just hope they will provide the license softwares :-D. M$ is to expensive.
2.) It's really peaceful here, I leave at 8AM and go home 5PM sharp :D. We don't really have an attendance, but I'm honest with my schedule so I'm sticking in 8 hours work daily (some are not).
3.) So far I'm satisfied, am I really?
-The start.
We'll going back what really brought me here. Almost 7 years when I started college, I've fell in love with the Japanese anime and their culture. Got interested like most of my colleagues, so I started building my collection and I got more and more interested. So I told myself why not dream of working there after graduation. Everything went ok in college and I got a degree of BS Computer Science in University of the Philippines Los Banos, Laguna.
-The first failure
I first applied at Tsukiden, a Japanese company of course. After 2 exams (it's quite hard) and interviews, I got accepted and was passing my requirements. When one day I received a phone call, I got a problem with my lungs, and they don't want me. Even though I got a medical clearance after a month, they said I should rest for at least 5mons?
-The side road
Well, that's quite long, so I was really depressed and constantly thinking what went wrong. Why did it have to happen. But I know I cannot do anything about it, I also know that if I apply in another company in Ortigas or Makati the same thing might have happen again so I applied in a Software company in Carmona - AAMEnterprises. We develop C# applications, and I was assigned to develop backend frameworks. I really enjoy my brief stay in here of 6 months. I don't have a problem with the boss, they have US mindset even though Filipino. We often go out, even today even when I'm already not in the company, I go there from time to time. Sometimes like most recently, I gave a lecture on Java on the company's new staff.
-After 6 months
I applied in another Japanese company, well I really want to be there (in Japan). And I got accepted in Imerge-Online Blue-Eyed Dragon as Software Engineer. We develop using the prototype model, wherein our software specifications were in nihongo. So I was really interested. And after 3 months working I attended a Japanese school after office. I was working 9am-6pm and studying 7pm-10pm, Saturday 8am-12pm sometimes 11pm. I got really tired everyday. Since I was alone in the apartment, I do all things alone. Usually, I wash some of my clothes on Friday evening around 11PM, and brought the remaining home. Well, I don't go to laundry shop those days because I'm very busy.
How's life in there? Since it's in Makati, traffic always.
Cut - I'll continue this some other day :D.
