The Day of the Rain

It rained at least three (3) times today! But I love the rain, especially today, because it brought good luck to me.

9:00-10:30am Before the first rain:
I was in my part time job. I had this feeling that today would be another disappointing day because my manager would not be happy with the design (which I did not make, but is my responsibility nevertheless)of the website. I was also scrambling to take pictures of the facilities, the rooms, the location to put "real" images on the website. It was cloudy but clear. I got all sweaty from all those photography works, then edited them (using MS Paint, because I'm so skilled in MS Paint).

10:30-11:59 Sullied
After finishing the "editing" I uploaded them to the server. I knew from my previous work that "editing" no matter how simple takes time, and to those who doesn't know, they think that it takes no time at all (disappointing how you try to explain but they just don't or wont get it). I was satisfied with what I accomplished and was waiting for the manager to arrive for further "revisions". 12 noon came and then...

12:00 The RAIN 1st part
Heavy downpour. Since it was already noon, I had to pack up and leave. I made it a habit not to go out of the house these days without an umbrella, so the rain didn't bother me.

Dripping wet, my manager explained to me how she wanted the brochure to look like, about her additional concern regarding the website. These all happened outside, in the middle of the rain. Talk about work dedication, this is the person to beat.

1:00pm Ayala Mall
I wanted to see a movie, but there's nothing new that I haven't seen and that interests me to watch, so I decided to just eat my lunch and go home.

2:30 The RAIN part 2
Just when I was about to get off, another heavy downpour. No problem, umbrella ella is here (yes I named my umbrella).

3:00-5:30 Nap time
The good thing about being "tambay" is that you can sleep in the afternoons, just like when you were a kid. But the difference now is that you're loving it instead of crying your eyes out to your parents or yaya.
6:00 till midnight
I still have to work on the website based on the comments that my manager has told me to fix, at least those that involves content, since they're going to present to the board on Wednesday. So here, full from dinner, is working on it.

About midnight, the RAIN part 3
As my eyes begin to drop, I can hear the rain, whooshing, making noise when it drops on the roof. It is a sound to my ears as I begin to wander in dreamland. Thank you rain for making my day just wet but great.

Should I Be Honest Enough?

It's been around three (3) months now that I have all these free time to do almost anything. Yet I don't do anything except eat, sleep and just laze around.

One more thing, I have this agreement.

Before I entered into this contract with my part time job, I told them that I need time to figure out if I wanted to do it fulltime. Because of that premise I didn't resign from my previous post and continued my services as part time to them.

As I have written, I was laid off from my fulltime job. And that's where the dilemma comes in. You see I didn't tell my part time that I am now free. And to make matters more complicated I applied for other companies and got accepted. Next month I will be starting there as an employee and will be busy (as a neophytes do).

The reason being is that honestly I don't want to be in a fulltime position with them and would like that I continue my services as part time. There are many reasons why, and the primary reason being I don't have that health care benefit and those other benefits that regular employees receives.

I wish I could just tell them what I honestly feel, but things are not that easy.
