First day of work

I’m here at dotPH to complete my OJT as part of a requirement in my degree at Communications.

It’s been an interesting day. But let’s start from the beginning.

I’m a Manila boy (I live near Chinatown) and the office is somewhere in Ortigas, which is quite a big place. My experiences in that area include Magic tournaments, rehearsals, dropping by UA&P, and malling. I’m not really familiar with the streets, much less the buildings. Either way I get directions and work my way from home to Ortigas.

I commute, because driving all the way from my house to Ortigas would kill my wallet. Bus rides are always interesting here in the Philippines. If you’re in for a long ride and forgot to bring your phone/mp3 player/book then you can always look at the works of the mini Monets and Pinoy Picassos.

Case in point:

FTW

In case you can’t read it since my phone’s camera isn’t that high-tech it says, "I hate vadalism but I love to published my name!!" 

Stuff like that wake you up in the morning. COFFEE? Bah, humor’s the way to go!

Anyway I rush to the office and experience the first of many signs of "employment." 

Elevator.

Traffic. 

There was a crowd forming at the elevator lobby a few minutes before nine. And the people just kept pouring in. That is not a way to start the morning. And thus I take the lesson "the early bird catches the worm" to heart and vow to show up earlier for work (Pilosopo as I am, I also believe that the late bird catches the late worm.)

The work’s pretty light, for now, but very interesting!

I’m having a productive summer! XD 

’til the next post. 

*I need to go shopping for clothes!
