Can't belive I haven't blogged in such a long time. I've been that busy. -_- Work has been quite overwhelming. There are so many processes and terms and names of people that I have to memorize, and there are sooooo many things that I have to accomplish all at the same time. Despite the stress and the everyday overtime, though, I'm having fun. I like my boss and the other people in our department. I also like the work that I'm doing since it's so diverse (from conceptualizing promos to logistics to events etc. etc.) and I know it's great training for me. Even if I don't get absorbed into the company a year from now, at least I'm assured that I've got a good foundation in marketing.
For the past two days, I've been going to Batangas. (If I knew I had to go there on both days, I would've just booked a hotel. haha.) The Subaru Club of the Philippines had an event at the Batangas Racing Circuit yesterday, and Shell was a sponsor. As the sponsor, we provided 40L of V-Power gasoline for each participant. We were supposed to set-up the morning of the event, but at the last minute my boss decided it would be better to do the set-up on Friday (which was a good call, because we ended up arriving really late on Saturday. haha). And so I went to BRC with the driver and someone from City Service. 3 hours to go to BRC, 2 1/2 hours to set up, 3 hours to go back to Manila. (Fuck traffic.) Cos of this I wasn't able to go to my block's inuman at Serendra. :( Tina, congrats on your new job!!!
Then yesterday I met up with my boss at Katipunan around 6:30, we met up with our bosses at Shell SLEX, and we all went to BRC together. It was fun, especially since it was my first time seeing cars on a race track live. We didn't stay too long, though. My boss and I left after lunch. Thank God our nice driver brought me home cos I was waaaay too tired to commute.
I slept super early yesterday (woohoo 7:30pm!) cos I was so tired. Now I feel refreshed. Later I'm going shoppiiiiiinnnnnnnnngggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!
