Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines
usually first impression s'kin mataray,masungit and the likes..uhm,sad to say totoo un kc hndi ako msyadong sociable unless there's something in one person that i really like..sbi ng mga close s'kin good listener dw ako but i think im better in ignoring what they are saying pero when i feel n kylangn mo tlga ng mkikinig sau game ako lalo n kung nkakarelate ako s topic mo..'yoko s mga self-proclaimed..those who say a lot 'bout themselves (who cares 'bout them,anyway?) hehehe..trip ko mga humorous kc moody ako..another thing 'bout me is ung temper ko..uhm,it's always at the edge, u knw what i mean..if u nid 2 knw more basahin mo mga testi s'kin kc im sure they say a lot of things 'bout me.. :]

kumusta ang first day of work??
kumusta ang first day of work??
yep..you read it right..WORK..working girl nga ang tawag sa'kin sa mcbd..whow!i miss the people there..malapit lang naman sila halos karugtong lang ng bagong place ko ngayon..i mean in terms of field of study..yun nga lang di na ako ganon kadalas na andun..
para sa mga nagtataka talaga..dahil hindi makapaniwalang oo-may-trabaho-na-si-shara-at-hindi-na-madalas-na-tatambay-lang..hah! i got a job at National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (Biotech)..wohooo!!yabang e..
mahabang istorya at talagang mahirap ikwento kung hindi lang din personal..basta nangyari ang lahat noong 22nd of October 2008..ang major life-changing day ko..so far..
first day of work ko ngayon..o di ba bongga!two weeks ago, i just had my last exam..estudyante pa ako noon..last week i was busy preparing the requirements for work and haggard accomplishing my clearance..kaya negrita na talaga ako ngayon..and this week is my first week of work..fast-paced eh?
***
what i felt during my first day of work wasn't excitement..i kept on asking myself a question which sounded like "sure ka na ba talaga??" my first step will determine the rest of my journey..i cant afford to make a mistake regarding this matter because it will tragically affect the future..i know i MUST dare to fail..
i cant just do things inside a laboratory while missing what supposedly should be happening to me somewhere else..choosing is indeed a bravery..
i started the day running for the biotech shuttle..and it pained me a lot to get up earlier than 7am..hayy life is hard..lucky enough, i arrived just in time.
i was asked to read the same project proposal which was given to me last week..on the first day of work, i think complaints are not welcome so i read it all over again (while keeping an eye on the time..silently praying for luchbreak..) and as usual ended up raising my left eyebrow because of the out-of-micro parts..
from time to time i slip out to the comfort room just to shrug off boredom and allow myself to move out of that office..(in front of the mirror, i realized that my hair is now longer)..what was annoying was that i was yawning every other minute..i was madly bored!!ah, there was a radio there which was endlessly playing old songs which contributed to the sleeping-time-factor..plus the rain..yawn.yawn.,yawn..
banduria..kulintang..fishbowl..empty paste container, puncher, a list of sacred vestments, a bottle of Bestaquam 50%, green labgown, and countless volumes of scientific journals..what could be worse than this sight around my table??whew!
i was revived after lunchbreak..had some chat with a friend..uhh, i miss my friends..
then the laminar-flowhood-listeria-culture tragedy happened..darn, the idea that i was already working somewhere outside mcbd was not yet really sinking in to me..forget it..everyone forgets..but that particular incident during my first day of work??huhu i thinki i wont..huhuhu
i was afraid of what my clumsiness would cost me..one time, there were plates just beside my right elbow while i was reviving some bacterial cultures..the plates were just centimeters away!!only God knows how i tried to control even my breathing worried that i would "accidentally" push the plates and cause so much trouble on my first day of work!
more readings came..goodness..only the people whose hobby is restriction mapping enjoy reading scientific journals..tsk. just sitting there, waiting for 5-o'clock to come, made me think about the realization i had during my practicum days in Alaska Milk Corp...im a microbiologist..and if im going to stay in the field, i'll be working in the industries..what was i doing there?? A University Research Associate..life is mocking me..
it's not that i'm complaining or something like that..im just confused..is this really what i want??or was i just trapped by the situations??resulting in spur of the moment decisions??
i'll be handling a pathogenic microorganism and will be exposed to that for a year..many of my co-workers told me to take extra precaution..honestly, their panic tones threatened me..very discouraging..i wont die of listeriosis, will i??
