Found a new Job!!!

2 weeks after i resigned, I found a new job which is Onsite IT Engineer. It's tiring when i travel from one place to another, also I am not used to this kind of flexi time. My boss will just SMS or call me if he needed me to go onsite otherwise I'll just stay at home and wait for his call.

I somehow miss the old setup, where I have my own PC, cabinet, desk. That I can decorate my place and I can still wear heels, now everything changes... From being glamour to being plain and simple me. No makeups, no heels no fancy clothes. Imagine me wearing heels and dress while going under the table to plug the Ethernet, cables and wires... haha that could be a really blooper..

I just wanted to gain experience and once I'm ready, I can explore other things... well good luck to me.. :)

Thank God, for not letting me down and to my family with their support and to my boyfriend who is always on my side.

The Challenge Begins


After almost 1 week of resigning from my position, I am now back to zero, to a stage where you will need to find a job you want, impress your interviewers and nail it. I hope It is as easy as like that.

From the time I resigned, I was only interviewed once but i did receive calls though. God, my heart is pounding every minute, afraid not to find a job in a month. If I can't find a job, I will be forced to get out of this country, I hope not. In a way, this is my second home. I am comfortable here, I have friends and I really love the environment.

Now I am trying to study Windows Servers, trying to learn new things, new technologies. I wanted to pursue being an IT Professional. I wanted to become one of the best if not great in the future. I have plans, great plans ahaead but if I can't find a job that will slowly fall apart.

I am really trying, hoping and praying that I can get a job sooner.

Oh Lord, please help overcome the challenges and trials I am facing everyday. Give me strength and wisdom and show me the path to the right way.

Risky Move


This is my first blog since college and I hope that I am still fit to write and blog...

4 months after my college graduation, year 2008 I came here in Singapore from Philippines to try my luck and look for a job. I was so desperate to look for a job and the recession period even made it harder to find a suitable job. It was Nov 2008 when an opportunity arrived on my door; since I was so desperate I grabbed it.

From 2008 till now, I am still serving the company as BB Support but now I realized that there's no career growth, nothing new things to learn. I am stuck to what I'm doing and will be stuck forever if i do not decide to quit. 2 months ago, I’ve been thinking things over. I can't just quit my job without finding a new job. I thought it will be easy to find even with 2 months’ notice period for resignation, well, I guess I am wrong... That's why I finally decided to quit and apply for job while serving my 2 months’ notice period..

My 2 months is left with 2 weeks now and I still haven't found a job... I'm starting to be anxious.... Will I ever find a job in just 2 weeks’ time? Will I ever find a job that I really really like?

Every night, I make sure that I am submitting at least 10 applications. I am happy that at least some of them responds and calls me. I hope I'll get to be interviewed soon.

I know that what I did is a risk... Quitting a job without finding a new job but then I know that's the only way I can get out. I have faith in God, I am sure He will never leave my side. He will help me to find what I really wanted. It's just a matter of doing my BEST and HE will do the rest.

Life is hard, but God is good—all the time.
