In working again

It's nearly 3 weeks after I came back and it appears to have that same smell of an old demanding career. Maybe more this time. Why? because apart from my original accounts, they added 3 more, plus 2 new released process by development team. WHAAAAA!!!! WHAAAAA!!! HELP!!! as if they don't know, my 3 months off was not for pleasure.



I had raised this concern to my leader and she said, it has been arranged. Meaning I don't have a choice but to follow. I see it thou as payback time and as much as I wanted to complain for the unfairness, I believe in due time everything will turn around. So for the meantime, I'll be still, keep my peace and have a positive attitude, because God is faithful and just, His promises will never fail.



I posted last time that I'm staying at the dormitory, but actually it didn't last as I transferred back to my old apartment after 3 days. Moving-out is not that easy, so I was having problem who can help me. But guess what, there's always helping hands when I need it at the time. At the same time, my landlord was so good having me back and so nice for re-installing the conveniences I had before. What a Blessing!!!



And so I'm back to what I'm used to everyday, only this time I don't have a housemate. So maybe spending extra time at work would be beneficial for exercise...talking and smiling...hehe...but need to watch the time not to miss my bus otherwise, it seems years of waiting...haha...imagine for another 45minutes. Got to go for now folks!

Back for a fresh new start

After a very long break, I'm finally back to Taiwan last Saturday. Supposedly, it should be the 1st week of the month, but something came-up which caused the delay. Since I gave-up my apartment, I had no choice than to stay in the dormitory which is actually the shelter of the many Filipinos working here. Although I knew the place and came for some personal matter, it will be my first to leave in the dormitory. So definitely I need to adapt and adjust.



My room is at the 3rd floor which I'll be sharing with a local who wasn't around when I came. Thought it was a good timing to roam around, scrutinize and get familiar with. After bringing and settling my stuff inside, it was the comfort room that I checked first. There were separate partitions for washing, bathing and toilets. The compound also has a net cafe shop, a convenient store, food house and a beauty salon. So, apart from the awful toilets, the place indeed caters to one's home temporarily.



My roommate arrived the next day and luckily she knows how to speak English...he he. We're from the same company and has been in the dormitory for 20 years. Yeah, read it right. So, does it mean our company is a nice and fair employer? well, I would settle for yes considering they had been so nice for allowing to have a lenghty break. It's like that I give birth...ha ha.




I went back to work Monday morning. And though I'm missing home, it made my heart warm to receive calls and welcome back mails for a beckoning start. Glad as well to have my work gadgets back and catch up the latest work happenings et al. Know what, things do happen the least we expect them. Imagine, I had no income when I was on leave, but hey the company gave profit sharing and other bonuses. Wowowow....it's almost I was payed all this time. Wow, what a blessing right :-)
