Stretching, bowling and dodgeball

I know I’ve been going on and on about working for GM but I decided to go with my backup.

It wasn’t really because of the offer, although I have to admit that they gave me a really good one.

But what cinched my decision was that I went with what I was “afraid” of the most. And I realized after days and days of thinking, I was resisting working for my new company because I felt terrified that I would not be able to do a great job because this is something really new to me–a stretch. Working with GMCI would be working within my comfort zone. It’ll be the same as what I used to do for my old PR company. PR Logistics. But with more interesting clients, of course.

My new company’s not a PR agency. They’re a mobile entertainment and music recording company. With my new job, I’ll be doing a lot of conceptualizing and it’s going to involve a lot of creativity on my part. I’ll be handling the launch of their new product and it is going to be huge. As in I don’t know what made me just throw caution to the wind and just take the risk. Because this is by far, the riskier choice. It’s a new product and it’s something I am not too familiar with so I’m sure I’ll learn a lot.

Waaaaaaaahhhh I’m still not sure if I made the right decision!!! But right now I know that this is what I need–a challenge. A stretch. I’ve gone on and on about moving out of my comfort zone so I think I ought to just go ahead and DO IT already. Time to face my fear of being great! Muahahaha.

Ack.

Other updates.

Z, W and I went bowling yesterday. It was a totally spur of the moment thing. I made bowling history–I was aiming for a strike in my own lane but, er, I slipped and my ball bounced onto the lane where Z was playing his last shot. So I totally sabotaged his game and when I looked up from my fall with my face all red with humiliation (the people working there were laughing at me), his eyes were shooting daggers at me.

Waaaah it was a good thing Skybowl was deserted because I had a lot of bloopers! Like twice the ball fell off my hands right before I was about to roll it. It didn’t really help that the two guys were laughing at me. And damn it I hate gutter balls but they seem to love me!!! >:X

Bowling does not agree with me. But maybe Dodgeball will. We’re playing in a couple of weeks. Waha.

What else? Ah yes, I’m so proud of my accomplishments the past two days. I volunteered to solicit money for this project I have for OCCI and I totally exceeded the amount I agreed to deliver by a couple of thousands. Almost double the amount! And I did it all in one night. AND NO, I did not go to Quezon Ave for this!

Aren’t I just fabulous? Muahaha.
