"We were written in the stars, my love,
all that separated us, was time, the time it took
to read the map which was placed within our hearts,
to find our way back to one another."

It's true you'll never know when opportunities will come knocking on your door. Now that one has, I must be sure to grab it before someone else does.
I'm now one step closer to attaining my goal. (:

I know I brought this upon myself and there's no turning back now - at least for the next 6 months.
I'm stuck with it and I've got to love my job.
I'm hanging on, persevering, and not giving up easily. I've got to give it my best.
Jiayou Iris!
YOU CAN!

I happen to come across this newspaper cut-out in my notebook on "How to turn that internship into a full-time job." And I was amused at what I read, for one of the tips provided coincides with my previous post.
It said, "Have a positive attitude. Avoid complaining and grumbling about your job as this will not motivate you at all. Take every task given as an opportunity to learn, even if it seems menial to you."
Perhaps the cut-out is right afterall.
Persevere I must!

Cleaning 11 rooms in a span of 7 hours is no joke. This is especially true for the changing of
king-sized bedsheets and duvet covers. By the time I've changed the sheets/duvet covers for one king-sized bed, I'm totally drained and will always want to take a breather, but i can't! I've got to quicken my pace to clean the bathroom, dust and vacuum the whole room. Imagine doing all these 11 times + ensuring that each room is spick and span. =[
Seriously, it's tough. So tough that at times I wonder why the hell am I torturing myself like that? Why the hell did I choose to work in a hotel? Why the hell am I pursuing a hospitality degree? TO CLEAN ROOMS? Damnit.
Yes, yes, I'm a weakling. I can't take menial labor. I give up easily. But it's seriously SUPER TORTUROUS. My whole body is aching now. And my fingers are sore and rough from all the cleaning. DOUBLE BOO TO CLEANING ROOMS.
Quit whining Iris. Whining doesn't do you any good. Just get on with work and clean rooms if you must. Afterall, this is only temporary. Bah.
Persevere. Persevere. Persevere.

Work robs away my:
- Shopping time
- Exercising time
- Television time
- Surfing the net time
- Family and social bonding time, and most importantly...
MY SLEEPING TIME!
Thus, time is SUPER precious to me now. I must make sure that I utilize every minute of my 24 hours wisely.
Gambette Iris!

It's a new beginning for me come next Monday. I pray I'll find the courage from within to move forward and never give up no matter what setbacks I'll encounter.
May everything go smoothly for the next 6 months.
*crosses fingers tightly*
Good luck to me.
