i'm turning ONE
------

one year since i accepted this job.. i can't believe that i lasted a year already. isang taon.

its been a year full of work, stress, interviews, transcriptions, formulation of guide q's, conprobe cascade's, fgd's, in home interviews, starbucks and late night probes, backroom check.. i've also learned a lot and grew a lot (in terms of lbs) kidding aside..

i also have met a lot of people during the probes.. some who left their marks in my life, and their comments and feedbacks will forever be appreciated. i've already talked to someone as old as 60 years old, to as young as 7 years old. to mom's, yuppies, ofw's, the list goes on and on and on..

my past year has been crazy, but i will chose to look at the brighter side of things. yes, i have learned a lot, have been to extreme levels of happiness and misery.. but the most important thing that i value is that i've made friendships that i hope to last my lifetime. i look up to a lot of people here.
1. they, who continously inspires me to work hard and constanlty improve myself.. continously amazing me with your gifts.
2. they, who showed me real and genuine friendships that any salary increase's can never compensate.
3. those who showed me that true friends can say anything to each other, even the worst criticism - accepting it and channeling it to something positive.
4. those who have listened with my endless rants and rave's.. i will forever be grateful.
5. those whose company, i have enjoyed in field trip, lunches, dinners, and mirienda breaks..

you guys know who you are, and for these reasons, i will never feel that i've made a wrong decision in joining this organization.

one thing i assure you.. i know for a fact that i am in an uncertain place in my life.. but rest assured that whatever might happen, i'll be here for you guys. :)
