today.

Hindi ordinary ang day ko today. It's not exactly what you would call extraordinary though, basta borderline lang siya.

I got to the office a little after 9. On normal days, I'd be there at exactly 9:00 as in on the dot. I was always sure that my officemate would be there na, but today, since he was still due back from vacation, I wasn't sure if anyone would be there. Ha, ang daming explanation. Anyway.

I then started with the project that I've been working on - mag-edit ng binyag ng baby. Masaya naman, although nangangapa pa ako, because since I started learning about video editing, I only had to please myself (well siyempre, my groupmates and a professor who would grade them) when I'm creating something. Kumbaga, kung ano man kalabasan ng video na ginawa ko, matutuwa na ako kasi akin yun. Kung ayaw ng prof, eh di hinid maganda yung grade ko, kung suto niya, eh di thank you. Tapos na yung project kapag naipasa ko na, at nabigyan na ng grade. But this time, I kinda felt the feeling na kapag ayaw 'to ng client, baka hindi na sila umulit sa amin. Alam mo 'yun? Yung feeling na ang laki ng responsibilidad, kahit sabihin ng iba na binyag lang naman 'yan. Pangalan ko, at pangalan ng kumpanya ang involved, hindi lang isang 1.5, o 2.0 na galing sa prof. This time, wala nang grade for effort.

So seryoso na akong nag-e-edit ng video, nang tumawag yung isa kong officemate. She told me that I had to finish this other thing that I was doing. I have to catalog the mini DVs and the V8s in the office. Okay lang diba? Pero madami siya eh, siguro mga lampas 800 tapes yun. Conservative estimate na 'yan. Aayusin ko siya by date and by event. Tapos yung event na yun, aayusin ko by day and tape number. Madali lang naman kung tutuusin, pero hindi lahat kasi ng tapes ay properly labeled. Yun lang ang nagpapatagal eh. So ayun, sabi ng officemate ko kailangan na yun ayusin, so yun na ang ginawa ko, hindi naman ganon, ka-rush yung binyag.

Nag-uusap kami ng officemate ko, tapos since kanya originally yung binyag project and pinass niya sa akin, she was briefing me as she watched what I've already done. Ready na ako. Salit-salit na lang yung binyag at pag-aayos ng DVs. Yun ang job ko for today.

Tapos, tumawag si boss. Pinapapunta ako sa Uniliever.

Unilever?

Yes, sa Unilever. Unilever Philippines. Wow, astig.Ü

And I was there from 11:30 this morning 'til 4 this afternoon. I attended a meeting for the upcoming event that Unilever's part of. Then my boss told me that this event is something I'm going to be part of. This weekend until later next week. In Tagaytay.

Tagaytay? YEHEY!!!Ü

Nakakatakot, kasi alam ko this is something big. And I've just started working in the office. Meaning, this is a big responsibility. Pero masaya na rin, to know that my boss has this level of trust for me. Sabi niya this is my baptism of fire. Seryoso na daw ito, hindi na pa-cute-cute-cute. I have to be assertive, I have to speak my mind. Meaning, I have to be strong. Patigasan na ng puso ito, para sa responsibilidad.

Sana makaya ko ang trabaho, because I've worked so damn hard in school for the past 3 years. (Although I wasn't given the proper credit in terms of grades. Yes, I truly believe that in some subjects, I could have gotten better grades, if teachers didn't play favorites..But then again, it's the teachers' prerogative to give the grades they want to give...kaya, hintayin ko na lang magkaron ako ng students para makapag-play favorites din ako diba?) Anyway, yun nga. Sana, sana, sana, sana makaya ko. I want to do it. I will be great in this. Yan ang determination.
