Isang taon na pala
I came to Geneva on May 2006 for a 3 months project to our HQ. Ang alam ko mas excited pa ako na mararanasan ko ang sumakay ng long haul trip kesa sa makarating sa Europe.
Ang sabi sa akin bago ako umalis ng pinas, wag ka ng bumalik. Do everything and anything para makakuha ka ng trabaho don. The 3 months project became 5.5 months and an opening came and viola I was hired.
Now it’s been a year since I became an IATA GVA employee. It changed my life and my family’s life. More importantly grabeng experience ang naranasan ko living alone away from home. It’s been a roller coaster ride at bawal ang mahina ang loob. Walang kamag-anak, walang kaibigan ni kakilala. Lakas ng loob at puro dasal.
I’ve met great people here, professionally and personally. Mingling with them make me feel great too and I will never stop learning from their ways.
When times get tougher I try to stop for a while and be thankful that I am here fulfilling my dream that I’m already living. Bawal ang malungkot, walang puwang sa mag-isa yun dahil matutukso kang gumawa ng mga bagay na pagsisisihan mo sa huli. Pag malungkot ka, alalahanin mong ginusto mo toh and be thankful for the chance so wala kang karapatang malungkot at magreklamo.
It has been a great roller coaster ride that I’m still enjoying.
