In the office, my tummy was blessed with lots of pizza. My OJT company ordered 3 big boxes of 64-inch pizza to celebrate the celebrants for the month of September. I think I consumed 5-8 inches of pizza. The celebrants were given 2 movie passes but I didn't receive any because I hid my birth date in Skype in which I think was the basis for their list of celebrants.
The next blessing that awaited me was the monthly salary. I have received money from them in the past but I didn't consider that money as salary because it was just small. I can say it now that it's my first time to receive my salary/pay. I only received small amount but it's a big exchange for the stresses that I get while facing the wide monitor for 4-5 hours a day. It feels different when you reap the fruits of your labor in thousands.
I invested my first salary with goodness. I bought something for my family. For my lola who will be leaving tomorrow, I bought her biscuits placed inside a pail. When I arrived home, my cousin told me that lola wished for the biscuits and I was the instrument for making it come true which she will be bringing home in Bohol. Well, she had already recovered from her cough and is already well. Lola said that she can't repay me for the biscuit that I bought her because she's old. It's hard for her to find money and our family is just poor. I was teary-eyed and was speechless but deep inside, I was not expecting any favor in return. For mother, I bought her strepsils because I know she had sorethroat and was sick. But when I arrived home, she was already well. For everyone in the house including father, mother, lola and my 2 cousins, I bought them 4 doughnuts which I know won't be enough. But it ended that nobody ate the doughnut after we had our dinner. For myself, I bought a doughnut about 1/4 size of the fist that costs only 15 pesos. It feels different when you can buy something for yourself from the efforts that you've worked hard but it's even more special when shared to the family.
