Turning to a new page of life

March 10, 2009

Hello! It’s been a long time since I have not posted in his blog. I have so many things to write but I just can’t find the words to express what I feel. I just landed on a new job in a new environment last February. Though I am not new to research works, I sometimes feel misplaced because the company’s industry  is microfinance. What do I know about microfinance if I am to relate it to my baccalaureate deagree. But I believe that I am here for a purpose. The research focus of our company is on poverty alleviation so I am putting in my system that I am for this job since it has been in my heart and will always be in my heart to help in poverty alleviation. I just thank God for this opporunity to help through research.

My first month in the company was my adjustment period - Observing everything: the people, the environment, and everything in it. I’m just thankful for the people who welcomed me right away even in my very first day of work. They made me feel that I am not any different person. Thank you ma’am lily, my boss; ma’am marie and sir jules. You’re are such a blessing to me and somehow a source of strength in times I feel I am alone especially you, ma’am marie. Age difference did not restrain you from making friend to a youner one like me.

I haven’t yet gone out for a field work but I am expecting to visit our 14 branches in April. A part of me is exited because this is gonna be a great adventure since I will be going out alone! However a part of me is somewhat afraid because I have no one to depend on.- not even a driver or vehicle with me. I used to be provided with such services in my past job but anyway, gone are those days. I must face this fear because it’s an opportunity to overcome it and it is only now or never.

 Well, this is only what I have to say for now. Hope I will find some time to post more in the following day. Hope I really will because this is one of my outlets. My friend is away now and I find blogging as one way to express things that I can’t just tell to anybody. God bless everyone!!!
