FIRST DAY ON THE TRAINING | First Salary Too...

First day on the training and I came in late. I was with a friend, Jen, who lives near me so I met her ealier so we could to the training together. The traffic was so bad that we spent almost an hour going there. And to make matters worse, the shuttle that was suppose to take us to the building for free weren’t showing up when we got there. We asked a lot of security guards where the shuttle was and they were directing us to different locations. And then we saw a sign “Free shuttle ride here” and underneath the sign was written, “Shuttle ride unavailable.” We haven’t got any clue where the building was though we had a map given to us during the contrat signing. So we took a cab and asked the driver to drive us to the said location. And to our surprise, the place was like two blocks away from where we were. Haha. The taxi meter did not even charge us a cent. So we paid for the starting fee of twenty five pesos. Of course I added five pesos for the trouble w’ve caused the driver. Haha.

So the first day was great. We took up pronounciations and stuff. And since I am in a confidentiality contract, I cannot divulge any information reagarding the training. So I’m not gonna give you full details. But rest assured, it was fun and exciting. I already can’t wait for tomorrow.

Jen and I also made a new friend who also came in late. Much later than us actually. Her name is MJ, this 25-year old who doesn’t look her age (she looks younger, like 21) cool girl who is living with his 19-year old boyfriend in her apartment in Pasig. She smokes too so everytime we got a chance to light up our cigarettes, we would always go out of the building and smoke together and make funny remarks about our co-trainees and stuff.

The ice-breakers definitely broke the ice, if you get my drift. Haha.. I really enjoyed the training. Towards the end of the day we were grouped and ecah group had to give out suggestions on improving our communication skills. Every group gave out pretty much the same suggestions except what I gave. I said, “try looking for an American boyfriend or girlfriend.” This defintely sent everyone to laughters and one trainor even said it was a good idea. Hahaha… I am becoming infamous for my humor amongst my co-applicants. I just hope laughters and jokes doesn’t affect my performance in the training coz this will tell if I am gonna proceed to the next training or not.

We were also given our allowance for the day after the training. Haha… Gotta buy me more business casual clothes.
