Return

(August post) 

So many things to do before the start of my new job a week from now. Im flying back to Cebu today to get the rest of my things and file that BIR record update. Im glad that I already got a room to stay, my very first experience to really look and negotiate on my own. 

It is a small room but I think that I can live with it and the contract is only up to 6 months, by that time if there is a much better place I may transfer, but for now Im good with it. I have to prepare for a month's deposit and advance. Cash (more aptly, credit card charge) will basically flow next week. I have to buy pillows, blanket, curtains, hangers for my clothes, electric fan, and other home stuff etc. I'll have an entire 4 days to do all that settling down before the start of my work. 

 Speaking of work, the hiring manager texted me to study C++ object oriented concepts like Inheritance and destructors because I have to take an exam at work to qualify for a project. Since my computer is at home, I have to study while in Cebu, and that is basically just in 2 days (Monday and Tuesday), I already have plans for today and tomorrow.  

 Im getting short of cash now since the last pay from my previous job is not due for another 30 days and the relocation allowance from my new company is yet to be given on my start day (or within that week). Im basically living on the excess cash from my SG trip and will feel the pinch next week when I get to withdraw from what's left of my bank account. It is a stressful week for me so to speak and the upcoming weeks are definitely too since I will be in a new environment, new people and new job, new everything. Definitely exciting! 

Never felt this way in a long time, it just makes me feel brand new. Im hoping and praying that this is the right step towards the right direction.
