work day #1
It was memorable, to say the least. -_- I rode a bus to Paseo and got to Shell House around 20 mins. before 8. I haven't been inside for more than 5 minutes when people and security guards outside suddenly start shouting and running. At first I was thinking they might've caught a thief or something, but the thought vanished as quick as it came when I saw a huge mob running towards the front door of our building. Apparently it was a group of angry rallyists. I probably looked stupid then, with my eyes wide open and my mouth agape. I was too stunned to even think about running away or hiding. :)) The rallyists almost got in, but thankfully the guards were able to close the doors. The glass doors. @_@ Thank God they didn't destroy the doors or anything, although they did ruin the building's facade.
I think the rally lasted around 30 minutes, although I didn't see or hear anything anymore after I went up. What a nice way to start my first day of work, huh? Haha.
The rally aside, my first day at work was pretty good. I was already able to join a meeting with the agencies in the morning, and in the afternoon, I downloaded probably 10GB of information into my brain. Haha. Had to meet so many people, learn a lot of new things. It's pretty overwhelming, but at the same time I'm really excited. I know I'm gonna enjoy this and I'm gonna learn a lot.
Going home was utter HELL. Guess how long I waited for an MRT train to arrive? 45 minutes. Can you imagine how many people have accumulated in that amount of time during rush hour?! Stupid, stupid MRT. How could they have let this happen at such a crucial time of day? Tsk tsk. We were seriously like sardines inside the train. It was made even worse by impatient old hags who pushed their way inside even if they knew that doing so would cut off the oxygen supply in everyone's lungs because we didn't even have space for our chests to freakin rise and fall.
Hayayay. Need to get used to this! At least until Ali and I find a place. So if any of you know a nice but cheap condo/apartment somewhere in Makati, please message me. :)
