This post is in response to Mish's message in my cbox...
This week is the start of my official non-working week. My resignation was effective July 15 but I had to go back to finish my clearance...
Initially, I planned to go on vacation this week. But last Saturday, I had a changed of heart. Actually, I have been changing some of my plans and recently acted impulsively.
This week, I'm busy with my class. The last day of training will be on August 21 and graduation will be on August 25. I'm enjoying the training especially now that we're mixing spirits, etc.
As of now, I still don't have any idea where to work or whether I want to be in an office again. All I know for now is that I'm happily threading this new path. I am enjoying myself. :)
Oh, I miss my friends at Maersk... Anyway, I'll see them when it's time.. :)

Ho-Hum!
I still have 2 more days...
My resignation from Maersk is effective July 15. Since I've already used all my Vacation Leave credits, I still have to report for work from July 13 to 14.
Actually, I don't want to go there anymore. I already find it too tiring to wake up early, go to school and then to work... Besides, there's nothing much to be done. I just need to ask 4-5 persons to have my clearance cleared.
As I'm slowly counting the days, I can't help but to feel both excitement and regret... Excitement 'coz I will now be able to focus more on my training.. Regret 'coz I won't be seeing some friends anymore.
I resigned to achieve my personal growth. But in going after that, I will be letting go of my work and leave some friends behind. :(

A Thought...
I have been in the same company for more than 4 years. I’m proud to say that it’s the longest time I’ve been in any job.
I am always on the move. I hate being idle. I hate being stuck. So whenever I get to stay with something or someone for long, it’s already a personal achievement. I have this mentality that makes me think beyond my current confines.
I’ve always believed in moving on when things are getting rough. There’s no sense in staying when every passing day, you can’t help but to wish you’re on a different situation… Why should you stay when there are already a lot of other possibilities to explore?
I’m writing this because I know I have to make a move as early as now. That move, will bring an end to 4 years spent at MSK…

suspension 101
masarap pala ang mabakasyon sa trabaho.
dahil sa suspension ko, natapos kong basahin yung ilang libro ko na matagal ko ng nabili. bukod dun, nagawa ko ring i-update ang blogs ko... lol
2 araw ang suspension ko. sa 2 araw na yun, madami-dami naman akong mga nagawa. nakapag-focus ako sa training ko. nakapagsulat akong muli. pati ang kitain ang mga long lost friends ko, nagawa ko din.
sa susunod na masuspend ako (yun ay kapag naibaba na yung 3day suspension ko), ito naman ang mga gagawin ko:
1. tatapusin yung isa sa mga likha kong istorya. madami kasing di na nakaalis sa gitna.
2. lilinisin ko yung kwarto ko. ibig sabihin, magbabawas na ako ng mga memento o di kaya papalitan yung mga naka-display. dahil sa pagiging pack rat ko, lahat na lang itinago ko..
3. ipa-polish ko yung dagger collection ko... at kukulitin ko yung ilang kaibigan ko na ibalik na nila yung mga daggers kong hiniram nila...
tama na muna yung 3... isang gawain kada araw na suspended ako sa trabaho...
sa totoo lang, di ako natutuwa sa pagkakasuspindi ko... e ano namang choice ko? kesa magmukmok, e di gawin na lang kapaki-pakinabang yung mga araw, di ba?

Changes at the Workplace
I'm 24 y/o already... and for more than 3 years of my life, I've been working at Maersk Manila GSC. We're on the documentation side of shipping cargoes. The department I belong with is concerned with export documentation - manifest and/or amendments of bills of lading... This could be pretty boring for most of you but I'd be blabbering about my work (at least for this particular blog only).
I started there January 17, 2005. After training, we've been seating in with some staffs from different manifest teams. If my memory serves me right, 7 of us in the batch (there are 20 of us) had no particular team yet coz we were supposed to be BCP staffs. Since we were not yet called to start with BCP, all 7 of us just loittered in the 17F, not doing anything and/or just chatting with some peeps on floor.
After some days (or was it weeks), we were asked to manifest for West Africa Trade. Basically, we're inputting details of bill/s of lading on the systems used at Maersk. After 3 weeks, me and Lhem were transferred to Amendment Team. There, we're tasked to update bills according to request/s from Shipper, Origin and/or Destination office.
While in the amendment team, we were called for BCP. So, after being in AMD for almost 4 months, Melissa and I were transferred to BCP. In that team, we're just doing tests to see if Manila GSC can take some of the volume of BOM, SJO, or GUA if ever there's a contingency. Quota was 2 bills per hour and everyday, the bills we've manifested were audited by BOM/SJO/GUA and then we'd receive feedbacks regarding our accuracy and SOP adherence.
After some months at BCP, the team was dissolved so we went back to AMD. Since then, I've never been moved to a different team again. Last year, I was even promoted to a Team Lead position.
I never thought that AMD team would also be dissolved. Imagine, since the start of that team, we've already heard some rumors that it would soon be dissolved. Heck, I've even prayed that it's just rumors. Though AMD team has a lot of differences and/or clash of ideas, we've lasted more than 3 years.
Right now, our team's officially dissolved. I understand that streamlining all processes would require this change. I've accepted changes quickly more than my other team mates did. What I cannot understand/accept is that we were dissolved at that time we were so united. We've been through a lot of issues in the past but we're able to surpass them.
This dissolution of our team is one big blow to all of us. We love our team. We have good relations with our team mates... Change is good, they say... But this type of change is not something that you'd like to happen in a matter of weeks.
As of this time, a lot of us in the team already felt the loss.. Today, some of us did things together, coz this is our last day as AMD team... Honestly, I felt all screwed up coz the setting that should take effect on Monday made me feel like I'm a nobody...
Who would ever want to feel that way, 'ayt?
