We had four days dedicated to seminars for our work immersion. There were different topics such as confidentiality, work ethics, responsibilties and etchetera.

There were different speakers for each topic. Most of them were successful managers and accountants from big corporations.

After the seminars, the remaining days are allocated for the prepation of our documents such as recommendation letter for the company, valid ID that you'll use, your waiver, and more.

Gio and I were assigned for a telecommunication company that's located at the upper floor of a mall.

"Ang lakas maka-OJT feels nito," halakhak ni Gio, while we were touring around the office.

We saw how busy the employees were during the working hours. Halos lahat ay tutok sa kaniya-kaniyang computer nila at may mga kausap sa telepono. Some were only busy typing. It almost almost a scene froma movie where the main place is an office. Umawang ang labi ko sa pagkamangha lalo na't pangarap ko rin talaga ang makapag-trabaho sa ganitong klaseng kompanya.

Soon, I'll work in an environment like this. Hindi ko mapigilan ang andrenaline ko, I felt goosebumps all over me because I can't wait to work in a corporation!

Zafirah Sidney Sanchez, CPA.

Ang sarap pakinggan.

We were briefly given instructions by our Supervisor on what tasks will be given to us. Hindi naman sila naging maramot sa pagtulong sa amin lalo na't estudyante pa lamang kami. We were only here to experience it firsthand.

Pumunta kami sa isang kwarto kung saan tinatambak nila ang mga papeles nila. We were assigned to do the documents. Pag-aayos lang naman halos ang pinagawa saamin. We encoded the numbers, names of the PhilHealth, SSS, health card of the employees of the company we're in. We also have daily accomplishment with DTR.

After our work is done, we had to list down what we did for the day and give it to our supervisor to have it signed. Isa ito sa mga requirements namin para sa immersion.

Two weeks and we had to complete 60 hours of work within that timeframe.

"Uuwi ka na rin ba?" tanong ni Gio sa akin, inaayos na niya kasi gamit niya at mukhang pauwi na siya.

I raised some papers on my hand. "Magpapa-photocopy pa ako."

"Una na ako? May sundo ka naman 'di ba?"

I laughed. "Opo, San Pedro. Di mo pa naman ako kailangan sunduin."

He clicked his tongue. "Ulol, di kita papapasukin sa langit."

Nakakapagod din pala ang trabaho tapos halos gabi na kami nakakauwi. Matapos ang shift ko, bumaba na ako ng 1st floor para puntahan si Sath.

Hindi ako natagalan sa paghahanap sa kanya. We had our own spot in the donut shop we always went to. Kitang-kita ko ang seryosong mukha niya habang may binabasa na libro. I can't help but giggle as I went towards him.

"Hi," Sath always waits for me at the J.Co Donuts. Kahit anong oras na ako natatapos sa shift ko, hinihintay at hinahatid niya pa rin ako.

"Kilala ka na ng mga employees dito," I told as I sat down. He already ordered something for the both of us.

A dozen of assorted donuts and two frappes. I inserted air inside my cheeks. I'm starving!

"Bumibili naman ako sa kanila. Di naman sila nalulugi."

Umiling-iling ako. Di ba niya alam na ang dali lang tandaan ng mukha niya? He looks like a foreign model!

"Kamusta immersion?" tanong ko sa kanya.
