Been there. Done that.

I was so absorbed with office and field work for the past four weeks. I did enjoy my internship. sooobra. The wonderful people I've spent my summer with, the pressure of the non-stop arrival of SOs, the tension brought by alarms, telephones ringing off the hook, the non-stop tawanan and kalokohan that we've shared- all of these deserve to be written here.



Surely there's a lot that I've missed- a friend's grad celebration, my sister's birthday, a get together with friends, lots of time with Archie BUT I've gained new friends at the office, I had fun, learned new things, helped people out.. I might have skipped the beach and all the fun-under-the sun stuff but my time in Digitel was time well-spent. :)



Don't get the wrong idea. That wasn't easy. My arms and legs hurt like hell the day after. I couldn't even walk or sit down properly. :) But it's ok. At least I experienced being up there. The experience was anything but ordinary.



It wasn't all about the call path tracing and subscriber line testing and managing SOs all the time. It also involved some dirty work. Literally. Dirty. They advised me to bring an extra shirt next time, but I was thinking 'there will be no next time. If it's an RSS you're visiting, I'll pass.' :)

Messy, huh?!

Internship's over. I guess this is how reality bites. And it's the sad part about SUMMER FUN- it STARTS and ENDS in summer. Bye bye for now. But THANKS for the memories.

19 months and still counting..

It's been a while. I've been busy with my on-the-job training that I did not have time to blog for five straight weeks. And the semester's fast approaching.. I don't know.. maybe next time it will be five straight MONTHS.
After completing 230 hours of on-the-job training in a telecommunications company , I spent the whole Monday afternoon finishing my accomplishment report. Then I went to school to submit all my requirements early this morning. I even had some one on one with my practicum coordinator. He asked lots of questions about what I did in the office and in the field, my daily activities, the things I think I contributed to the company and blah blah blah blah.
The office has been my home for almost a month, and coming back to school today was.. I don't know. Weird? I saw some of my classmates and it took me a while to remember their last names. Funny. I guess my memory gap's starting to affect my social life.
I'm not trying to be melodramatic but coming back to school today after quite some time was like knocking some sense into my head. We're going on our final year.. and SOON enough I'll walk a different path. SOON, it'll be about goodbyes and separating ways. Okay-- now I'm being sentimental.
What I missed most about school was my friends. I saw Ann and Ria today and all we did was talk non-stop. Each was trying very hard to catch up with each other's life. I know it was just four weeks but I bet you know how we girls are. ^^
Then I went to the mall to meet Archie. We had lunch, went to the movie house to see Speed Racer. Whew. I think I strained my eyes trying not to blink the whole time. The movie lived up to its name. Everything was moving way too fast, which was good. I really enjoyed it. Each time with Archie is a blast. And today is extra special, for this is the day WE turned 19. ^^ Hugs and kisses for you muffin. xOxOxOx
