My October started with a fun trip to Baguio City, then it went downhill with a roller coaster of emotions concerning my career path. Honestly, I feel like I'm back in the loop. I am unsure if I'm on the right track and just when I started accepting my fate, some unexpected discoveries led me to question myself again.
BAGUIO CITY
I've yet to share my Baguio trip, but I need to include this since it's the main highlight of my October dump. I've been wanting to go to Baguio City but the trip had been canceled thrice. And on the fourth try, I was able to go there with Antoni and our friends. It was just a short trip - a weekend road trip to pause from the hustle and bustle.
We visited some of the tourist attractions of Baguio City from Saturday until Sunday morning. We went to Mines View Park, Botanical Garden, The Mansion, Burnham Park, Bell Church, Strawberry Farm, and Baguio City Market, and passed by the colorful household while heading to the Bell Church.
AUTUMN LAUNCH
It was my first time handling and managing the documentation autumn launch without my previous team lead. Although I have an immediate supervisor, he doesn't supervise me with my task and such. If things go wrong, I only have to figure it out. If it's beyond my capabilities, I try to ask for help from a colleague under the IT team who is in charge of helping me out. But usually, if there's an error/issue, I always figure it out.
So during the launch, I was low-key freaking out. My workload involves managing different branches and repositories. Before I am the one who gives a thrill to my previous team leader because my end always has errors - it never ends. But when it started to show conflicts, I decided to contact him, but he was not at home. He responded to wait for a little longer until he gets back home, but I couldn't wait.
After a few hours, I was able to resolve it and make the documentation go live before the Autumn launch. I was so proud of myself that I watched Netflix after the event.
BIBLE STUDY
Honestly speaking, since I transferred here to Cavite, I haven't attended a Sunday service. That is why I'm looking forward to going back to Cebu City and attend to the Sunday service at UCCP Bradford again.
When I was still in Cebu City, even though my religion is different from my housemates, they invited me to attend The Feast and also to a Bible Study every Wednesday night. Luckily, the leader of the Bible study group decided to have an online session and she invited me. I didn't hesitate. I said 'Yes' right away. That is why my Monday night (8 PM - 10 PM) is scheduled for this.
I am really thankful Sheena invited me. I'm glad I have someone to talk to and share my struggles with every Monday evening. Because honestly, aside from God and Antoni, I only talk to myself. I have best friends and close friends, but we only communicate quite often and our conversations are not that deep. I rarely share with my family because I don't want them to worry about me. If I happen to share, I always leave out most of the details.
That's it for my October memory dump. Some of the things that happened in October were written in a separate article:
