Previously on EmmanNation… (etchos! hehehe)

I said I was sad during that interview where I thought I have another failure getting what I truly wanted to do for a job here in DxB. Fortunately, I was wrong.

I did get the job!!

I have started with them for almost 2 weeks now. I left my other job with the Italians in a not so easy way. Because they were very kind to me, I could not let them down. They actually did not want me to go…and so I had to lie. Sadly.

I was suppose to work with them until the end of march but I stayed for a few days more. A week, actually. And that week was not paid. It was ok though. It is hard to leave them also since they’ve been very kind to me, except with the maintenance job and the low pay, everything was great.

And, also, I have to be practical. The sales job I recently just got, is going to pay me very well. With commissions and my salary combined, it will be a great way to fill my pocket in no time. I will just have to spend what I am going to earn wisely.

I have to say I am enjoying what I am doing now. I am no expert in selling these luxury items as of yet bacause I am new but soon enough I’ll get the hang of it and do my job as it is supposed to be done. In the meantime, I and the other new sales associates are assisting senior sales associates with their jobs which is our jobs as well. It is still a part of our training and soon we'll be handling our own sales and customer’s service.

You may wonder what type of a sales job I am doing now. For security reasons, I would not be mentioning where exactly I am working and which company. But one thing, it’s all about fashion, high end fashion. That is all I can say. ;-) Who knows, I might post a picture here one day with my co-workers, and you my beloved reader will just have to be very observant if you wanna know where I actually work. * Jezz...is it obvious? I like the company where I am working now, even if there'll be a lot of competition and mean people to encounter along the way...heck (it's a sales job, most people doing sales are greedy! i hope i'll stay humble, and i promise i will be.)...i'll do what I have to do. Mean people will be everywhere in this effing world! So I just have to deal with them in my own good terms.

Well, all the best to me.

...and another goes.

I am having a hard time dealing with what is to happen. I have not yet anticipated my sister’s return to the Philippines and my brother-in-law’s pending application for a job to Qatar. I am just living busily by the day and I am not entertaining the thought of “what happens next…” when they’re all not here. But now, it just occurred to me that I will be alone here in DxB soon. I have no idea what I am going to do here alone. Of course I have a job and I am on employment/residence visa already which I just cannot throw away. The thing is, I will be lonely. Living alone, with no family and no friends here…I will be more than lonely as I am now.

congrats! congrats!

And yet another lawyer friend!


this is her happy face after she heard of the news! Really, that's a happy face!! hehehe Peace, gurl!

Congratulations to my gurl Majalia for passing the 2007 Philippines Bar exams. Results came out this month. Now I have two lawyer friends to defend me if someone mistreats me, abuse me or even rape me. hehehehe. What's best about all that, is I will get pro bono (if thats how you call it of being free of charge from these lawyers). hahahaha
