[Goodbye SAFRA]

After close to 3 years, it's a final goodbye to SAFRA now. I still remember how I struggled so much during the initial period. I remember waking up every morning crying in bed and not wanting to go to work. I remember going to sleep each night lamenting about not going to office the next day. It was so bad that Chris told me, "You got to build your resilience. You got to be strong. Keep praying".

I was all ready to give up at the end of my 6 months probation that I even typed my resignation letter. But when I took my pregnancy test, I was forced to stay on, and somehow, things became better and more bearable. Maybe because there were other things to be concerned about and to prepare for.

I still remember doing my first project for SAFRA--NDP Appreciation Function. It was when I worked the closest with Selene; staying up late nights and trying to manage the different aspects, and the SLIDES! I couldn't understand why I have to do slides to present, edit and present over and over again. What's more, it was needed the next day at 9am! That's when I have my encounter with DY CEO. Oh boy! It sure was tough and shocking, especially seeing how he treated my director with so much contempt and despise. I couldn't understand why. And I certainly couldn't understand why he was demeaning her in front of me. I felt it was disrespectful. And it doesn’t help that Selene also doesn’t agree with him and sometimes my director, but doesn’t voice it out openly. I couldn’t understand why people are behaving like that. I felt like I was jumping from a frying pan into the stove.

Thereafter, I also had the nerf challenge project that took up a lot of my time and resources away from SEC.
