Missing The Old Times
“Life
is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful,
face it. Memories are sweet, cherish it.”
One
day, I caught myself laughing alone for no reason. I don’t even know why some
memories in my past flash back in my mind. All the memories has been return.
The happy and the sad memories when I was a kid until during my college days. I
don’t know. I’m just missing the old time maybe. Those old times that will
never ever coming back again. If only I have a time machine, I will bring it
back. No. I will not bringing it back. I will go back, to correct my mistakes,
to do something I should’ve done, to say “I love you” to the person’s I loved
that are no longer with us. And most of all, to say “Sorry” to those people I
hurt and ask for their forgiveness.
I
know it’s normal to remember the past events in your life. Because in my case,
I usually do it. Especially when I’m alone and listening music’s with the
combination of a very quiet and peaceful place. I must say that the memories
that flash back in my mind is depend on the music’s I was listening at. Weird
isn’t? For example; I was listening about friendship songs then all moments I
did with my friends will flash in my mind. All the crazy things we did
together. When I was listening about Godly songs, I remembered all the
sacrifices we overcome and we will surpass along the way of life.
I
just want to share some of the best and worst moments. The unforgettable events
that I will never forget in my life. Something to laugh at when I was old,
something to treasure forever.
First:
When
my Grandmother died. (My father’s side). When she died, there’s a lot of
arguments that last for almost 15 years. Wasn’t able to fix before she died. I
know she wanted to fix it before she left us, but it never happened. She died
unexpectedly. She died without hearing the three (3) words from me. The word “I
love you”. The word “I am sorry” for the times that she wanted to talk to me
but I refused to listen. She died without knowing that I love her. But I
proudly say that in her very last moment, she looks at our direction for the
last time. I have a lot of things I wanted to do with her. I have a lot of
words I wanted her to hear. But all of those are left unspoken and undone. It’s
too late to hug her nor to kiss her. This was the greatest regrets I’ve ever
done in my life.

Second: 18th
Birthday. I was Second Year College by that time. And August 6 is Wednesday. We
don’t have class during Wednesdays, so we decided to practice our Speech Choir
in our Oral Communication Subject. We decided to take the rehearsal at one of
the house of my block mates. I feel sad by that time because I usually spend my
birthday’s at home together with my siblings and parents. And not with my block
mates. When we got tired, we decided to take a rest. And from that moment, I
feel something unusual. There movements were different. It’s just like they’re
hiding something. At first, they don’t want me to enter the kitchen. Second, we
are only few in the room. Third, they asked me to do something and I followed
it. When I came back, I enter the room and they said all together “Happy 18th
Birthday Che!!”. They’re all sing a happy birthday song. And I was speechless.
I don’t know what to react. This is the first time I surprised like this. They
prepared cupcakes (Each cupcakes consist of letter “Happy 18th
Birthday Che!”), Pancit Canton and Fruit Soda. Simple but very special. I will never
forget this. They also gave me a letter. And gifts. And after that we took some
pictures and eat altogether. I didn’t expect that. I never expect that someone
will do it for me. It was just a simple surprise but I really appreciate it.
The time, effort, money and the love they put on it. I am the happiest person
that time. I will treasure it forever.
Third:
Puppy
Love. That finally someone had crush on me. Unexpected. I never expected that
someone will going to love/like this face. That someone will going to accept my
attitude. That someone will going to accept the real me, without pretending.
Maybe he likes me because I was active in our class during that time. I am 3rd
honor when I graduated. In the same year. It’s my first time to be noticed by
my crush. He will carry my bag, he will get chair for me, and other sweet
things. He help me to stand when I am out balanced in our Ballroom Dance
Rehearsal. He help me to understand the steps. He is a real gentlemen. He was
there to talk to me when I am alone, it was happened during Valentine’s Day. He
is my ideal man. Gentleman, good looking, kind, smart, and responsible. But
were just friends. Nothing more. Nothing less. I’m happy to meet someone like
him. My first ever crush that shows appreciation in my feelings.
Fourth:
Received
my awards. This part of my memory will never be forgotten. It was happened on
the day of my Graduation at Muzon High School. I am one of the student who will
received award on Graduation. I was so happy. I am the third honor in our
section. Would you believe that? I will going to receive a medal. The first
ever medal that I’m going to receive in my whole life. And I don’t know when
will be the next. Way back when I was Kinder I also received an award “Most
Behave”. And in High School in the same year I also received some awards in the
competition I join. Essay Writing Contest I won 2nd place (Room
Based). And I won 1st place in Slogan Making Contest (Room Based). I
also won 2nd place in Slogan Making Contest in our campus. Fourth
year is the best year of my high school days. Won’t forget.
Fifth:
My
Clumsy Moments. It’s always happen in the same way but in the different time,
place and situation. I’ve already post it here in my blog.

Sixth:
High
School Days. The best days of my life. All the first time happens here. First
love, first heart broken, first dance, first award, first cutting, first
failure, and anything. I’ve learned a lot of crazy things when I was in high
school. Things that I can’t imagine that I can do. All the high school memories
are important to me. This one is the proof.

Seventh:
Elementary
Days. It’s not the good for me, but I also treasure it. It all starts here. To
learn, to read, to write and count. To learn good manners and right conduct. To
build first friendship. First cheating. First failed exams. And first enemies.
(Hahaha!!) I remember how we fight for a silly things. Teasing each other.
Bullying. And I’m the one who always bullied. But thanks to my Mom, she’s
always there to rescue me. To protect me. I will never forget this.
Eight:
Scary
things. I experience for the rest of my life. I’ve already post it here. Take a
look.

Ninth:
Family
Bonding. Having quality time with my family is the most important thing to me.
Watching TV together and sing a song together. During meals, we confront each
other and ask some questions like: “How’s your day?” And then the story goes
on. When there’s a problem that need to be solve immediately we always asked
for our parent’s advice. Especially to my Mom. She knows what’s best for us. Before
going to sleep we will having our “Kulitan
Time” every night. My Mom is always the leader in this game. Hugging us and
kissing us always. Pillow fight, and tickling us. Then we will do the same.
Laughing at each other’s imperfections. (Hahahaha.. xD) Supporting us in
everything we do. They always provide what I need. They are my ultimate BFF. I
really love my family. I can’t imagine that one day I will leave alone. I will
never survive without them. I will rather die if that’s happens. Our “Kulitan Moments” is the best memories I
stored in my mind. They’re my life. Family first before anything else. I’ll
show you something. I think this is kindly related about this.

Tenth:
College
Days/Internship Days. College is the most important studies. Why? Because this
will be your last stage of being a student and you will going to pursue the
field that you want. This time, you must be serious about it. And be happy for
the remaining years of studying. I must say that my college days was very challenging
to me yet fulfilling. Those challenges that I overcome is the moments I won’t
forget. Those things that I think I can’t do but I surpass. Those times that I
proved myself that I improve. Much better than before. Being a college student
is not easy when you are not serious about it. I’ll show you something that is
related in this topic.

Everything
in this world is just temporary. People changed, places can be reconstructed,
friends can be replaced, and people gets old. But one thing is for sure. No
matter what happens, memories can never be replaced. It will remain in our
hearts forever. Because it teach us to correct our mistakes and to have fun.
There are something you will remembered when you get old. For me, memories is a
way of holding the things that you love, that you don’t want to lose.
Treasure
each moment and make it perfect.

Every Summer Has A Story ( My OJT Experience)
“The brick walls are there for a
reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there
to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick
walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re
there to stop the other people” – Randy Pausch
How did you spend your summer? In the beach? In the
other country/out of town? Or at home? Did you spend it productive? Did you
spend the whole summer time very happy? 'Cause if you were going to ask me
those questions, I will say yes. I did not spend my summer in the beach, other
country and most of all I am not stay put in our home. I spent my whole summer
at reputated company located in Makati City, the company was Development Bank
of the Philippines. Why did I spend my summer here? It's because this summer
2016 is our Internship Program in our University. Let me tell the whole story
of my adventure this summer.
It was February and March, this month
is our busy months as a Third Year Students of Bachelor of Science in Business
Administration Major in Marketing Management. Why? We are conducting our
Feasibility Study, and that was not an easy task. We need to spend a lot of
money to make it successful and worth it. We also need to prepare ourselves for
our defense. By those months, we already know that we will having our
internship this summer, and we would like to prepare about that, because that
was another challenge for us after the feasibility study. On those months we
are planning to find the right company where we can conduct our internship, we
need to find a nearer place to our home so it would not be expensive in our
transportation. But the plan was never did, because of the busy weeks.
Examination weeks, feasibility study, defense, marketing proposal, and
clearance. But we finish it all. We are now preparing for the events for our
OJT, we also have to prepare a lot of money, because there's a lot of expenses.
We have to prepare five (5) thousand, for the uniform, seminars and
orientation, for the pinning ceremony, and for being enrolled on this OJT
Program. We still have two weeks (2) to find the best company for our
internship. But instead of finding the right company for us, we decided to take
a rest for a little bit. Because we got tired physically and emotionally. But
that relaxation reach until the first week of April. Instead of having a lot of
time to find the better company, we are now running out of time. We should not
take a rest that long. We need to find as early as possible. Because the second
week of April is for our three days (3) seminars, and on Monday is our OJT
Pinning Ceremony and in the following days is for the enrollment for OJT and
Summer Classes. We are running out of time already, we should have done this
before the day of the start of OJT. April 19, 2016 is the first day of OJT. But
since we are not yet looking for the company, we decided to use the remaining
days to apply everywhere. I applied at Tungkong Mangga Area, the nearest place
from our home, but most of them refuse to accept my resume because of these
following reasons: First (1), they are not accepting OJT's. Second (2), they
are already over loaded. Third (3), they are only accepting applicants in the
main branch. Fourth (4), if they accept our resume they will said that "We
will just call you for the initial interview." Fifth (5), the person we
are looking for is not around. Sixth (6), we are not fit for the job. Seventh
(7), they are not accepting any positions. Eighth (8), they are not
entertaining us. Ninth (9), I failed to passed the interviews and last the
tenth (10) reason is because we didn't bring all the requirements needed, they
didn't orient us for those requirements. We did not only apply at Tungko, we
also applied at Fairview for the Teletech. We are expecting to be interview
right after we passed our resume, buy we failed. They accept our resume but
they will just call us. We also applied at Telstra they also accepted our
resume and they said that let's just wait for a text or call from them. It’s
too late to know that the resume's we have submitted that day was unsigned. And
because of that, we are not expecting a call from them. That was a big failure
for me. We lose the chance. We are just wasted our time and most specially our
money. I feel very depressed by that time, because we have to find already as
early as we can. Never surrender. Instead I applied online, the famous site for
hiring. The Job Street, I applied to any company that are looking for
internship, whether it’s Marketing or Accounting. The most important is to find
a job. Then I received a lot of messages online and thru text. Those e-mails
and message's says that they already scheduled me for an interview with the
complete details of address and contact information. But the problem was its too
far. Located at Makati and Ortigas. That was too far, so I decided not to go
there. I also experience phone interview but I failed to pass it. It’s not
really failed. I'm just not qualified because they were looking for a college
graduate and definitely I'm not. And that chance has been gone again. As
always. Then I continued applying at Tungko again, hoping that I can find
nearer. Then I applied at Ibuzz, a transportation agency. They're accepting OJT
but the person we are looking for is not around. And they just said, we will
just call you. I know that it's already a failure. It's automatic. I am now
starting to lose hope. A lot of interviews but I choose to refuse it. Then
because I'm so desperate I asked for the help of my friend in high school. Her
mother was working in a government institution. National Electrification
Administration (NEA) is the name of agency. I applied here together with my
friends/classmates. But I'm the only one who is accepted. I thought we will be
all accepted but it's not. I am now thinking if I am going to continue it. Then
we tried to apply again, and this time it’s much nearer in our place. It’s the
MJB Meat Manufacturing Incorporated. We passed all the requirements and we have
our initial interview and in the end they said that they will just call us for
the final interview. A lot of things is now coming in my mind. A lot of what
if's. Just like, now that I'm looking for a company to conduct my OJT is very
hard to find, what if we already graduated? What will happen? I am keep on
thinking positive things. I know there will be a right place for me, and it’s
not yet the right time for me to know. Until one day I decided to check my
email. I received an email from Remote Staff saying that they have scheduled me
for an interview. It is the same place of my friend get hired. That's why I
grab the opportunity before it’s too late. Even if it’s located at Makati City.
I have no choice but to go there, just to find a job. I go there with my
friend. Two of them will be applying walk in while the other one is already
hired here. One of the reason why I grab it. This is now the start of the
struggle. This is now the challenge. And the story really starts here. Nine o'
clock was the scheduled time for my interview. Therefore at exactly six o'clock
is our departure. Because of this, I realized how hard to face the reality.
That the time is really important. Facing reality is not a joke, it has a lot
of sacrifices, hard works, and a lot of money to spend.
I came on the company on time.
Although I struggle so much. From the bus... and bus... and bus again. Why this
happened? Because we don't know where we going or it’s already forgotten. The
next struggle is the MRT (North Avenue to Buendia) I never expect the very long
line of people just to reach their places. The struggle is really really real
as soon as I enter the train. Face to face, back to back, smells each other’s
breath, sweating and there's a possibility that you going to hurt each other.
This was my first time and I never expect this. I feel healed when we get out,
as we get outside we looks like very tired and haggard. So before we continue
our journey, we fix ourselves first to look presentable. I thought this was the
end of our suffering, but it was just the beginning. We walked so long, try to
imagine that? Walk and cross the street, happened repeatedly. And finally we
reach the company. We interviewed but in the end the said "We will just
call you." I feel very very disappointed by that time, after all those
things I experienced, that's what I'm going to hear? But I should accept the
reality, that's what going to happen when we graduate, this was just the
preparation. So we decided to eat after the advance failure. Then after that,
since we bring a lot of copies of resume, we decided to apply everywhere here
at Makati. We apply to the nearest bank and company, but they refuse us or
they'd advise us to go somewhere. While walking down the road, a man asked me.
"Are you a college student?", “Yes." I replied. "We are
looking for a company for our internship." I continued. "Here come
with me, I know something. There's a free lunch." He said. Then he led the
way and we followed him, but his boss refused to accept us. Because they are
looking for a college graduate only. Or not a student. But still, we accept the
free lunch that turns to free snacks. Then we go. Then we continued applying
somewhere, until something has caught our attention. The DBP (Development Bank
of the Philippines). We inquire inside asking if they're accepting interns, then
they said "yes". Then the lady at the lobby advise us to go to third
floor. But before that, they asked for our ID's first before we get inside.
When the elevator shaft open we get outside and we are looking for a person.
(Unknown person, we don't know who were gonna look for.) Then a lady came out
and entertain us. It's Ms. Ana Penuela from IGLF Department. She is the first
one who entertained us, I thought that we will accepted but we did not bring
all the requirements needed. They need the following: Resume, Recommendation
Letter, and Good Moral. But we only bring Resume. Then she advised us to come
back tomorrow early in the morning with the complete requirements wearing
corporate attire. By that time, I don't know if there's an assurance that we will
be accepted. Hoping for something that we didn't know if we'll going to happen.
Starting to lose hope. We hurriedly fix the requirements needed so we can be
able to go on time. Walk fast. We didn't encounter what we have encounter
earlier in MRT. Don't lose hope. Then
when we reach the school, we divided ourselves into two groups. One will be
getting good moral, the other one is for the printing of Resume and
Recommendation Letter. The good thing is that we finished all the requirements
on time. So happy. But still, the problem is, are they going to accept us?
That's the big question in my mind now. When I get home, my mom scolded me. I
understand her, that's why that time I didn't eat and just sleep. Hoping that
tomorrow will be going to be better. Better than yesterday. I woke early that
day, facing the same struggle. We reach DBP at 7:30, very early. So we wait for
some couple of minutes before they allowed us to go. Then when the right time
came, we go up third floor and they accommodate us really fast. Fix the
requirements, then orientation. Then after that, they accepted us. And can
start right now, right after the submission of requirements. The time has come.
This is it. Welcome to DBP.
That feeling that you have already
found the best institution that suits your personality and a place wherein you
can more develop. That feeling wherein you find a company without the help of
others, but trusting yourself. That feeling that after all the sacrifices and
struggle you encounter, finally you get what you deserve. That feeling that
your parents are proud of you because you are undergoing your training at a
famous bank. That feeling that God never leave you, and He is always there for
you no matter what happen. I must say that I really know the feeling. I really
feel it. And that feeling is very fulfilling.
What is On the Job Training in the
first place? Is it just part of the learnings in College? Us it just a financial
burden? Or it is just a waste of time and must not given any attention because
it’s useless? For me, this Internship us a great opportunity to expose us in
the real world. It is a preparation and a practice after we graduated in
College. And yes, it’s a financial burden but you will be able to learn
something that you will never learn at the four corners of the classroom. In
this Internship, you will be able to use the learnings and knowledge that your
instructor taught to us for almost three years of staying in the University. In
this Internship Program allows you to face the reality where in you can talk to
the real professionals, and do task seriously. I must say that this OJT is
complicated yet fulfilling. This is a way to improve and develop more in life.
To gain new knowledge, to experience unusual and extraordinary. To be
independent, the most important word. To stand on your own without any help of
the other people, without depending on them. To become the better person as you
can be despite the failures, rejections, and being ignored by the people around
you, because they were thinking that you can't do it even if you can. All you
have to do is to prove yourself to them. Do not let them accuse you on
something that you didn't do yet. All I want to say is try something new, do
not be contented on the position you have right now. Because life gets boring
when you are staying in what you have right now. Let yourself to grow. Do not
afraid to show the real you. We are all unique in our different ways. OJT is a
great way to make your star shine like no other. A great way to practice on how
it feels to be success in life ten years from now. Let your star shine bright.
My first week in
Development Bank of the Philippines (Makati City-Main Branch) was very exciting.
I was assigned at the Office of the Head – Development Sector. I got pressured
because my Supervisor is an Executive Vice President: Mr. Benel D. Lagua. And
his Executive Assistant was Ms. Abigael S. Vasquez. They were both good to me. Everything
is new to me. From the people I see, from the task that their doing, until the
type of the working environment. I don’t know how to interact with the people
around the office. I don’t know if I can do the same things that they’re doing.
I don’t know how things are going to be done. I don’t know the process. I know
nothing at first. At my first day, Ms. Abi introduce me to Sir EVP Benel Lagua.
By that time I got scared for unknown reason. At the same day she explained to
me how things/works are going to be done. I understand all the things she have
said, I just don’t know what to do or to how to start. Then she taught me
little by little. She doesn’t pressure me. The task she was given to me for
almost one month of staying here are the following: Receive documents
(Documents that needed to be sign, for information or need to take action and
just a draft letter), Logged documents (Use the DTS (Data Tracking System) to
have records of the incoming and outgoing files in the office), Distribute
Documents to other departments (In the same floor or in the other floors),
Answer phone inquiries (The most hard part for me, because I don’t know what to
say when they’re asking something), Make phone calls (Hard for me also,
especially when there are follow up questions), Put dates on Mr. Lagua’s
signature (For Offering Ticket and Credit Application Papers only),
Send/Received/Forward Emails (Using Ms. Abi’s Lotus Notes), Filling/Organizing
Papers, Photocopy papers (It’s really hard to use Xerox Machine for the first
time, I thought I going to destroy it), Scan, Print, Typing, and other things
that are related to office works. Talking to other staff and making fun with
them. Answering their inquiries in person. Talking with a client if they’re
looking for something or someone. Talking with a foreigner if ever. This is
just the daily activities I am doing and I have learned. But if you were going
to asked me what I think I learned in my one month of staying here is not about
the activities I have done but also how to act in a certain situation and how
to socialize with your colleagues. Everything is just normal for me as time
pass by. I observe the daily routine of the employee’s every day. And most
especially the daily task and routine that Ms. Abi usually do. And because of
that observation I already adopt the day to day process. And I automatically
doing it now without the supervision of my Supervisor. It’s now easy for me.
It’s just normal for me. It’s not hard for me. I feel like that I am really an
employee here although it’s not. And I really like it. I love what I’m doing.
This environment is my ideal environment after college.
I have five
unforgettable challenge and experience. The first one is being the one in
charge in the office of Mr. Lagua. Because Ms. Abi is on a leave. I thought I
wasn’t be able to survive in the whole day, there’s a lot of notes left in Ms.
Abi’s table. It’s just a reminders on what I need to do and what should be
given an attention. I got nervous because there’s a lot of papers left in Ms.
Abi’s table. Documents that are ready to out. There’s a lot of papers came
also, papers for signature, information, letter, and must take appropriate
action. I can answer phone calls but it’s not that good. I don’t know what to
say next so by that time I always asked for Ms. Liezel’s help. By that time, I
feel that I was not an effective and efficient employee. But I know it’s normal
to be like that at first. Then I thought that will be the last time to be in
charge alone. But it happened again. This time, Mr. Lagua is out of town for
IGLF Planning Conference in Batanes for three days while Ms. Abi is on a
seminar for two days. Therefore I was in charge in Ms. Abi’s table for two
days. This time it was easy for me. I know what to do and what to say in phone
inquiries. It was easier because our boss is not around. I overcome those two
days. I thought it will never gonna happen again. But it happened again. I was
in charge again in Ms. Abi’s table and Mr. Lagua is already here from Malaysia.
This time I was allowed to use her computer. To type, print, and logged papers.
And this time I proudly says that I’m doing all things right. A little bit
confuse but I manage to handle it. I know that I did my best. I know I am
effective and efficient. I feel very happy that day because I done it right
without the supervision of my boss. And this poem I made would tell what I
really feel during my internship days. This is what I really feels.
INTERNSHIP FEELS
By: Estrella, Rochelle P.
Unfamiliar faces
can be seen
A place, position
you have never been
A works and task
that you have never done
Family bonding has
been short and gone
But now, I'm
enjoying what I'm doing
Realized that I
need to keep going
I encounter a lots
of negative
But I turn it all
into positive
None will happen
if you put yourself down
Don't let folks
laugh at you, you're not a clown
It is your time to
stand and move forward
It is all for you
to get your reward
The OJT is a great
opportunity
Let yourself
involved in DBP humanity
An organization
with dignity
All the employees
here, has unity
This is one of a
kind experience
Letting ourselves
to boost our confidence
It will remain to
our hearts forever
Forgetting it will
happen, "NO NEVER!"
Now, I think I'm
ready after college
I'll not letting
myself to discourage
Learn to accept
rejections and failure
Move on and focus
on our future
The
second thing I won’t forget was happened during the first time I was in charge
in Ms. Abi’s table. The scenario was Mr. Lagua is expecting for a visitor that
day. And I received a call from the inner court saying that Ms. Diana Almoro is
already here. I hurriedly tell it to Mr. Lagua. Then a woman comes in our
floor. I asked her if she’s Ms. Diana Almoro and she said yes. So I tell her to
take a sit first and wait for Mr. Lagua. When Mr. Lagua came out he asked where
the visitor is. I point out the women sitting in the couch. When I point her
out she wave her head as a sign that she’s not the person who are looking of
Mr. Lagua. She refuse. I don’t know what to feel that time. I feel so ashamed.
The third one is when answering phone calls instead of saying “Good Afternoon”
because it’s already afternoon I said “Good Morning”. Sometimes I said all the
three “Good Evening, Good Afternoon, and Good Morning” a failure. I got nervous
that’s why. The fourth one is when your boss caught you playing games on my
phone. The fifth one is happened last Friday, I put the papers inside the
office of Mr. Lagua and she caught me in action doing that. I feel like I’m
doing wrong or a bad thing. I got nervous. This was just the most memorable
thing I won’t forget of one month of staying here. I’ll never forget it.
I
have learned a lot here. Not only the physical activities but also I learned
something that I will never learned in the University. Let me enumerate the
things I have encounter but I turn it all into positive things. In a work place
you may encounter a co-workers that doesn’t look or sound good when talking.
They may looks or sounds bad, but when you started to talked to them you’ll
just realized that they’re nice. First expression last as always. There are
time also that I got scolded of one of the employee here, I admit that it’s my
responsibility so I understand. Instead of getting mad at them I just accept my
failure and I correct it next time I encounter it again. The other one is that
when I know to myself that I’m doing it wrong but my supervisors just ignored
all those wrong things. Without asking them on how to make it correct I just
use my observation again to make it correct. Interacting with other people is
really hard for me, I don’t know how to act or say something to continue the
conversation. But I know I improved it in this organization. It’s also because
of the phone calls. I think I boost my confidence for the one month of staying
here. Respect each other no matter what is your position in your organization.
Act just like everyone is in the same level. Having unity in an organization is
a good catch. Always smile whenever there’s a lot of task to be done. Help each
other through up’s and downs. Learn to have fun despite of the busy schedules.
Always say “Please” if you are asking for something. Always say “Sorry” for the
things you’ve done wrong. Always say “Thank you” if they have done a favor from
you. These is what I observe for a month. An ideal organization for all. It is
successful because they’re all cooperative. They’re all love what they are
doing. They are really passionate to their work. I learned how to be
independent. Without depending my life to others. Accept failures and
rejections for you to be stronger and much better than before. Always improve
yourself. And this poem will tell you everything about growing up.
LET YOURSELF TO GROW
By: Estrella, Rochelle P.
Getting out in
your comfort zone is an adventure
Because you will
appreciate it like a treasure
In the real word,
in life everything is a challenge
Every step, action
and decision should have courage
Let yourself to
grow, improve and be an achiever
In life, no pain
no gain, you should be a believer
There's a problems
and sacrifices, be a survivor
It is all for you,
please do yourself a favor
There's NO
FOREVER, everything is temporary
Every good vibes
you face should put in a gallery
And look at it
every time you feel weak, loss and tired
And when you
succeed, tell yourself "I am glad I tried!"
In
every beginning there is always an end. In every story there is always an end.
In every suffering and sacrifices there is always an end. In every life there
is always an end. Everything will comes to an end someday. And the end of our
Internship in Development Bank of the Philippines is also going to an end. I
will miss everything about it. I will be miss the daily task I usually do. I
will be miss those persons who treat me nice. I will miss everything. I will be
miss riding early in the morning, riding a bus for almost one hour. Riding a train
with a lot of people inside smelling and pushing each other. I will be miss the
big buildings surrounding our company. I will be miss going home late at night
because it’s traffic. I will be miss running after the public transportation in
the high way. I will be miss having fun in the office. I will be miss the smell
of the food in the office. I will be miss the faces I see every day in the
office. I will miss to feel nervous again because I saw my boss. I will be miss
my table. The pink and Hello Kitty stuff of Ms. Abi in her table. I will be
miss the staring eyes of Ms. Liezel every time she walk behind my table. I will
be miss saying “Good Morning”. I will badly miss everything. Now that my
internship is going to an end. I feel very sad, it’s because I have to accept
the fact that I am now finish in this challenge. A challenge that I am wishing
that last forever. Because I am enjoying it. I feel happy because I can sleep
on time again, I can do my hobbies again, I will never get tired again because
of the transportation, I can do all the things again that I can’t be done
because I have to wake up early. This OJT is a great experience. I will never
regret that I conduct my OJT in this organization. This is one of a kind
experience to let our self to believe that we can do everything as long as you
trust yourself. The DBP organization let us feel that we are really
professional. I will never forget this. You are now part of my memories that I
will treasure forever. Those faces I see, hoping to see you again after I
graduate. Thank you for everything you have taught to me. Sorry for the
failures I made. Hoping to see each other again. Thank you for the great
experience you have let me to feel. Thank you for accepting me as your trainee.
Thank you for everything. I will treasure everything I have learned here. You
will never be forgotten.
Every
summer has a story, a story that will marks in your heart forever. A story that
teach you to be a better person. A story that is written in a paper and keep
it. A memories that should be treasure. A story that you are the main
character. A story that teach you a lesson. A lesson that will be use after
graduate. Every summer has a story that going to an end. I learned a very
important thing. If you want to get something, you must do your very best to
make it yours. No matter what happen. Just believe.
