A Meaningful Ending. . . .

Every day I spent as an intern is one of those times I consider my worth essential. What I’m really trying to say is at least my eruditions are being used for the benefit of the company. I’m happy to share that almost all of the data inside the upcoming website of the company are from the researches of my co-intern and me. I passed the data and then I whole-heartedly accepted the new assignment and that is to search for the list of hospitals, police stations, fire station, LGUs within the Cebu Island.

After few hours, I passed it to our Sir with the help of my co-intern.

For about four months, I’ve experienced many things with this company. I hate to say this but time had passed so fast. It took me hours to comprehend what will be the possible things of doing something and that is to end it. I can still remember the day I first went inside the office. The emotions are still fresh as if it was just only yesterday. 

Now, is another day that I should face; I’ll be leaving the company this date. My co-intern and I bid goodbye to our supervisors and as a gratitude to their gracious help, we gave them certificates. I felt like crying, I’m sure I’ll be missing them. It is because they are the same faces I always see whenever I go to office. Our supervisors wish us luck in life hoping we will be crossing same path someday. I hope so. We treat them a snack from Jollibee to show how thankful we are for having them as our tour guides during our internship trip.  After few chit-chats, we leave the office.

My internship is over. I felt joyful and nervous or let’s say it is a mixed of emotions. I can still remember those times I wonder how will be the internship be going. I’m happy because at least I was given the chance to practice what I learn and share it people. Truly, learning does not only given birth in the four corners of classroom only. I’m immensely hoping that I can use all these eruditions for future use.

ADELANTE!

Search. . .search. . . .and SEARCH!!

After passing the tasks to our boss, he gave us another task to conquer. The assignment is to look for the list of Cebu City’s hotels, pension houses and beach resorts. He also assigned us to search for Cebu city’s attractions. To complete the totality of the assignment, he also requested us to list all the Cebu’s towns and cities’ beach resorts and attractions. I have also to make enquiries on some institutions that feature money transfer as their first-hand service. Aside from that, I have also to rummage around for credit institutions available within the island of Cebu. Hearing all the assignments really made me feel energized. It does only means that the company trusts us.

 Our assignment is not easy. It is because we searched for the data of the upcoming website. After we compiled all the researches, we gave it to the company’s programmer. It is then the raw data that we have researched are process to be converted into website information. The success of our company is also affected by the presence of this website. The company is not only planning to dominate the Television world but also the networking arena through providing useful information that can be acquired from the website. Someday, or let’s just say few months later these researched data will be seen and digested by the people. Hopefully, this information will be very much helpful to them when it comes to inquiries about Cebu and its provinces. In this way, I can say I share my best to be useful.

In the other side, I’m also extending my happiness because the company’s receptionist at the same time a graphic artist asked me to call some prestigious companies. I felt really proud. It’s a feeling that I’m not certain of. 

Vacation Escapade Postponed. . . . . .

Christmas songs conquered the city’s air. Radio and DVD players joyfully play the songs that always excite us; it’s few days before Christmas. Rest assured it will be visiting our night again leaving us with big smiles. It would be wonderful to celebrate few days of Christmas vacation at home. Doing nothing; worrying nothing just simply relaxing. I can still remember the rush of excitement blanketing my system whenever I hear the Christmas songs serenading me every dawn. How I wish I could turn back the time and cherish those moments whole-heartedly.

The Christmas vacation given to students like me is useless. It is because I can’t go home to enjoy my vacation. I have to hurdle my Christmas vacation to meet the required duty hours for our internship. But, I should not let these negative emotions rule me.

We were able to finish the research and have it conceded to our Sir. At least, that part was over. He gave us another duty to do and that is to seek out for the things, places or any activities that may attract tourists to visit Cebu. He also asked us to investigate for some appealing destinations from the various provinces of Cebu. He also added the charge by requiring us to research on the different pension house of Cebu and its provinces.

I did my best to unearth all the things on net. I know how hard it is but I have to endure. After all, I’m still learning. These assignments made me realize to appreciate the necessity of internet nowadays. Though, for someone it’s just a mere product of technology but for a researcher like me; it’s my best buddy. It is where I acquire data that may take humans to pursue for a very long period of time.

Finally, I was able to finish my task and passed it to our Sir. He was so happy. He gave us another assignment. He asked me to search for the Cebu provinces’ festivals and have it arranged from January to December. He told me that he is planning to create a calendar of festival to guide tourists about the upcoming festivals that are annually celebrated by each province.

I’m thrilled and awe. I hope I can do it. 



Tasks Getting Tougher!!!

Researching has never been easy. Utilizing your precious time to unravel ton of questions in your head for mere satisfaction has never been friendly. More so, for the purpose of seeking the answers that will be useful not only for firm’s credibility building but also for curious individual’s learning.

I remembered writing many things with much gusto about the tasks that were given to us by our boss. Counting aside, I found the tasks time-consuming and at the same nerve-wrecking. I’m not talking about physical fighting here; it’s such that it’s so tough.

After completing the task of researching about the information pertaining to the transportation to and from Cebu City and provinces, my co-intern and I were given another mission to accomplish. We were also given the task to search and list all the possible ships that travel from Cebu to different places and vice versa. If it was only simple like that, I think I may not be talking much today. But unfortunately, we were also requested to list all the possible schedules of each ship companies. Whew! It is quite murderously demanding. For few days, we did our best to get the needed information as fast and accurate as possible. We entered various sites and borrowed their data. We copied their site as our source; of course we don’t want to be accused of plagiarism.

Finally, the sun set his brightest smile to us. After hours of sweats and neck aches (because of too much focused on the monitor), all the needed information were passed to our Sir. I can still imagine how proud and happy I am during the minute of passing.

But with the perfect combination of hard work and perseverance, we were able to gather the data needed. After which, our boss had handed us another chore and that is to cite for the hotels within the Cebu City. The task is quite heavy. I hope we can pass it on time.

Doing the tasks given ahead of time is really worth of appreciation. Right now, I value the ability of being diligent at work. It feels so light!
