Welcome to the Family... ENC-Jan!


FINALLY! After a week of challenging ENC Training, I was able to push through and succeed on each "Training Levels" which were designed to polish my so called "English Teaching Skills" [Evil Grin] and as a result of the successful training program, English Net College says: Welcome ENC-JAN!

July 1, 2013 marks the formal commecement of my Office-based English Teaching Career in English Net College, Davao City. The commecement was manifested by a probationary contract signing [Ceremony, Chos!] together with the Managing Director and Branch Manager. After the probationary contract signing, an office-wide procalmation happened through the initiative of the Training Manager by the words: "GNA Jan is now indorsed as an ENC Teacher" with the reinforcement of my colleagues' applauses. [Flattering huh!? Bwuhaha!]

With the welcoming applause[s] that my  colleagues bestowed upon me, I labeled the "First Day" as one of the most memorable moment of my life.

The first day of being in ENC was not just a "special excitement day" per se.. but it was also a first day of building solid commitment to the organization.

Committing myself into this kind of career posed a lot of challenging things like: (1) the work environment adjustment - considering that the work place is not anymore my room;
(2) the adjustment on the company norms - as a newly proclaimed office member, it my full responsibility to be aware and to be adaptive with whatever norms the office follows; (3) adherence to office rules and regulations - although this is not new to me.. but because of the workplace transition [home-to-office] there is a big possibility that I might be able to defy [consciously/unconsciouly] some of the rules and regulations in the office; and (4) adjustment on the working shift - although working in a night shfit isn't new to me but the ENC PM shift will definitely put me in a test.

Despite the challenges mentioned earlier [and the future challenges as well!], I am still very optimistic that my decision of choosing this career will lead me to something good in the future because I believe that in whatever career that we choose, GOD will always govern our actions [reinforced by our efforts] that will lead to good outputs or results.

As I conclude this composition, I would like to express my immense gratitude, first of all, to our Almighty God for governing my actions as I performed at PAR during the training program. To the ENC Trainers, who were very committed and patient in polishing my English Teaching skills. Finally, to my ENC Colleagues for the encouragement and support.

The Navigation Commences!

After a week of completing the equipments [the baggage] needed for the journey, the NAVIGATION - English Net College Training finally commenced.

June 21, 2013 at 1:00 PM marked the advent of my most awaited journey. The starting point of my ENC journey was depicted through the Introduction of what ENC is all about; the rules and regulations and other specific basics relative to the online English Institution.

As per my assessment of this starting point, I could say that the tension brought out by the challenging training procedures will definitely mold me into a better employee.. and I like that! Hopefully, as I continue to step on the challenging road of English Net College, I would be able to feel the fulfillment that I have been hungry for.. and that is, the possible accomplishments that I could get from the challenging tasks of my job.

Above all, I would like to thank the Almighty One for bestowing me the Baggage of Confidence, Courage and Commitment, which will serve as the sources of my power along the way.

ENC Training Countdown - 2: The Baggage of Commitment

After a day of being prolonged due sickness, the countdown finally advances to 2 and the search for the last baggage has continued. As a result of the countdown and searching resumption, a little step for the navigation's commencement is manifested and another baggage has been discovered and that is, THE BAGGAGE OF COMMITMENT.

If the baggage of countdown 3 depicts a very distinctive image, the above mentioned baggage poses a very big challenge for me because as I inspected the baggage, it gave me a lot of critical inputs and one of them is challenge posed by COMMITMENT.

Specifically, the things flashed by the baggage were the company's expectations in terms of: (1) Performance and (2) Commitment to its mission, vision and goals and to the entity itself [which I guess the most critical thing is].

As I was contemplating with the depiction of the baggage, I soon realized that the challenge posed by Commitment is my sincerity, determination  and self-motivation to stay in organization  for a long run in order to help in acquiring its Vision, Mission and Goals that will maintain a good status quo in the competitive market.

However, its undeniably true that the business environment nowadays is full of very attractive CAREER OPPORTUNITIES which may possibly induce me to leave the organization. Thus, with presence of such attractive opportunity my commitment to the organization is being tested. So help me God!

ENC Training Countdown Prolonged at "3"


Loading ███████████ 99%   
P-R-O-L-O-N-G-E-D!!!!!!!!

The most awaited navigation countdown has been temporarily stopped due to the sickness experienced by the adventurer [yours truly]..

Anyhow, this is what had happened.. I experienced a tremendous cough and colds [and worst, "voicelessness"] which hindered me from discovering the other "baggage" needed for the navigation.

However, at this point of time, I am already in stage of recovery and hopefully I will be able to find the 2 remaining baggage in order for me to finally navigate.

Hence, I am very optimistic that I will be able to fully recover and continue my adventure.

Above all, there's no need to rush according to my Training Manager.

SO HELP ME GOD!

ENC Training Countdown - 3: The Baggage of Courage


Countdown 3 means two days left for the Navigation to finally happen. Meanwhile, my continuous discovery and inspection did not hinder me from finding out another hidden baggage left in my cabinet [chos! cabinet jud!?] and I'm pertaining to the BAGGAGE OF COURAGE.

Compared to the baggage mentioned on countdown 4, I regard the baggage of  countdown 3 as the distinctive one for what I saw were negative things.

The negative things depicted by the baggage were those which had happened in the past for instance, THE BAD EXPERIENCES, THE SEVERE "DOWNS" of life that had happened, TREMENDOUS SICKNESSES that were experienced & the STRUGGLES of College life and work life [love life too! HAHA!]. However, at the latter part of the depiction, I was quite amazed with the twist because I saw very rewarding statement and that is: "Congratulations! You have successfully solved the problems posed by those Challenges".

As I was contemplating with the depictions given by the baggage, an insight just popped out of my mind.. and that is, the realization that I am an individual molded resiliently by the Courage due to the several negative experiences that I acquired in my life.

Hence, the baggage of courage implies that I should be "more Courageous" in facing the challenges of the navigation.

ENC Training Countdown - 4: The Baggage of Confidence


Countdown 4, indicates three more days left for the ENC Training Navigation and thus, I must be able to find the three important baggages within a day in order to complete the things that I needed for the training. Anyhow, I found one.. The BAGGAGE OF CONFIDENCE!

Acquiring the Baggage of Confidence is never easy. It takes two to tango to establish a confident mindset that will enable you to do good in the serious navigation.

As I acquire the previously mentioned baggage, I inspected it and I was able to see that it contained the ACHIEVEMENTS,  PAST REWARDS, SUCCESSFUL MOMENTS and EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCES that I had in my life.

Now you might be thinking what does those contents tell me.. The contents mentioned above are obviously reminding me about the things that have built my confidence through the years in succeeding the obstacles posed by  both the miserable and unforgettable past.

Hence, by inspecting the Baggage of Confidence, I was able to realize that I have nothing to be ashamed of because I have achieved and experienced a lot of things and thus, it goes to show that I am [somehow] ready to face challenges that are already waiting in the navigation.


YES, I HAVE IT! (^_~) 
[ I guess? Haha!]

Last Song Syndrome 101: End of the Line by Honeyz


END OF THE LINE - HONEYZ
Want to listen? Click this link

All alone I wait for you,
As darkness fills this room,
I don't know why you ain't called.
Little things you used to do,
They're no longer part of you,
Seems you left them all behind.
Well, I can't believe what I'm going through,
This thing, it just ain't right.
Your selfish ways,
How you carry on,
Some things you just can't hide.

(If you want me to go)

Then say it,
(Want me to stay)
Then show it,
(Don't be afraid, ooh)
Oh don't break this heart of mine,
Now's the time if I'm right,
Then we've come to the end of the line. 

So say it 

(Want me to stay)
Then show it
(Don't be afraid)
Oh, don't break this heart of mine
Now's the time, if I'm right
Then we've come to the end of the line
Ohh, oh yeah. 

Seems like I can't do you right,

All I do or say is wrong,
All the smallest things criticised.
I deserve some damn respect,
Nothing more and nothing less,
Don't pretend everything's fine.
(Ooh) Don't hold it back,
If it's in your heart,
Stand up and be a man,
(Ooh) Can't read your mind,
So I'll just say it loud,
I'm trying to understand. 

(If you want me to go)

Then say it,
(Want me to stay)
Then show it,
(Don't be afraid, ooh)
Oh don't break this heart of mine,
Now's the time if I'm right,
Then we've come to the end of the line. 

So say it 

(Want me to stay)
Then show it
(Don't be afraid)
Oh, don't break this heart of mine
Now's the time, if I'm right
Then we've come to the end of the line. 

Even though you've doing me wrong

I still care,
Do you think that by treating me cruel
That somehow I'll disappear?
(Ooh) Baby I love you too much just to walk away.
(Ooh) Don't make me hate you,
Baby you've got to be straight (aah). 

(If you want me to go)

Then say it
(Want me to stay)
Don't be afraid, baby, show it
(Don't be afraid)
Don't be afraid, oh, don't break this heart of mine
Now's the time, if I'm right
Then we've come to the end of the line
Ooh
(Want me to stay)
Oh baby, show it
(Don't be afraid)
Don't be afraid, oh, don't break this heart of mine
Now's the time, if I'm right
Then we've come to the end of the line
(Come to the end of the line)
Ooh
We've come to the end of the line
(Come to the end of the line)
Oh, baby
We've come to the end of the line
(Come to the end of the line)
We've come to the end of the line
(Come to the end of the line)
(Come to the end of the line)
Ohh, ahh
(Come to the end of the line)
Oh, the end of the line
(Come to the end of the line)
