Internship.... all aboard!

I'm here at the office. And I'm wearing a polo barong. Let me tell you, I don't get excited about dressing up. But the thought of wearing a polo barong gets my juices going. LULZ. I don't know where I got this fascination about wearing polo barongs. Maybe it's because I see my brothers always wearing them. Or it can be that it's just such a cool uniquely Filipino business attire. Whatever the reason, I enjoy rocking the 'polo barong' look. People have been making rude comments about my get-up. They say that I look like a security guard or somebody who is hired to protect VIPs. Woe to you, who shed my costly blood! I don't care. In my head, I am rocking this 'daddy look'. LULZ. Really can't wait to be a dad. Wear mid socks. Short shorts. And a shirt too loose. Plus there won't be any need to always hold my breath and keep my stomach in. Cause being a daddeh is enough reason to have a big tummeh. Anyway, I digress. 

Today is my second day of internship. A taste of the 8-5 life. And I've got nothing better to do but write on my blog. Time is slooooow. I guess there really is a lot of down time in the office. Or moments when you just don't have to do anything anymore but you're just forced to stay in your cubicle because, well, rules are rules. So you end up looking for something to pass the time. Or if you're really desperate, you find some form of work to do so that the last few hours at work won't be reduced to a mere countdown to the much awaited soccer game/movie date/peaceful ride home. 

CRAP! I just realized I was writing about my boss. HAHA. I don't want to be one of those employees who get fired because they talk bad about their boss and post it on the net. To my defense, I wasn't saying anything bad about them. I actually like them!!! And i want them to like me too. LULZ. Wow. It's cool having a boss. Or bosses, rather. I've held 'jobs' before but it's always been for family so this is different. I just remembered this quote or saying or something. If you don't like your teacher, you can get rid of them after one sem. If you don't like your boss, you're stuck with them! So I'm thankful that I like my voice!!!!! =))

The next three days, we're going to Montalban to do social mapping. Barge into other people's houses. Check what material their walls are made of. And see if the children are eating enough. Plenty of walking. Probably a lot of awkward silences. But hopefully, a learning experience that I can always remember! Part of me is excited. Part of me is just wishing that I had it easy. Like the people at RMC. Oh well, you gotta do what you gotta do. Adventure here we come! If all else fails, I still got my polo barong. LULZ.

Hmm.....
