On the sixth week...

Do you ever felt the excitement at the same time the fear of not knowing what will happen in the future? This is what I’m feeling right now. Slowly, I’m getting used to the place, to the people, to the food, and I’m worrying that when I get back to Manila, it seems like that I need to go back from zero and start all over again. But I guess that the recovery time will just be short, of course, that’s my home, as they always say, there’s no other place that’s good to live than home. Gosh, it leads me again to the point of missing them.

Also, it means that I will be deployed to a new project. I’m not putting any high hopes about it, but I’m hoping that I will still be using the same platform, and that my responsibilities will be more challenging (but not too much. He he he…)

By the way, so far, this week was a busy week for me. I need to finish up my coding and unit testing. And gladly, I met the deadline. I guess that I’ll just wait for next week for updates from my team lead.

Saturday, we went again to the mall to buy some grocery. Going to Forum, we used to negotiate to the taxi to wait us for 2 to 3 hours. But when we got to the place, the driver changed his mind and said that he will just dropped us there and will fetch us as soon as we call back their office. During that time, I’m already sure that it will be problem for us to go back since, first of all, the communication problem. We don’t know how to speak Hindi and they don’t speak English. But I guess during that time, we didn’t care much about it. Since we are already at the place we want to go.

So we bought groceries that are good for 3 weeks, if my calculation is right. I never did that in Manila to budget and to plan what to buy. It’s hard but in a way, sort of a nice experience for me. Slowly, I’m beginning to realize that I’m not that young anymore, that life is not always for fun. I’ll be turning 24 this December. It will still be a long journey for me, but I’m starting to learn all the facts of life.
