Hollywood

What comes first into your mind when you hear Hollywood? If i were to ask, i would answer BURGERS. Hello guys! Before everything else, please like this page: http://www.facebook.com/HollywoodBurgerDavao

I am writing about Hollywood Burgers because i just got my second salary. Yes, you read that right. .. I'm working on a part-time job aside from identitee. Just incase you didn't know, I'm a waitress. *wink*

My idea of being one just came out of the blue when, one typical wednesday, me and my friends were eating in the said American diner. Since way back, I've been wanting to work on a coffeeshop or what because i find it cool watching flicks wherein the characters were attending school and at the same time has their part-time job. I'm also amazed to some of the people i've known, who were now outside the country, earning some bucks as for them working at McDonald's. It's just that seeing them such as if they're having fun.

Back to my story, I asked the waitress there if I could apply to be one of them. At first, she laughed at me because she thought i'm just joking. (Well, i am but it seems paradoxical) She told me I can pass my resume and have my interview. I have this guts wanting to grab that opportunity since I don't have class every Mondays and Tuesdays. What is good about that day is that when we were dining-in, the owner was also there. I bought one biodata application form, signed it and after an hour handed it to the owner and had my interview. He asked me why did i want to work and I answered "As a Pharmacy student, blah blah blah"... ..

For the first time, I heard the words "Congratulations, you are hired! You can start on monday!". And to tell you frankly, it was a blessing! Having this job is such a blast for me. I'm earning experiences which gets me to MORE appreciate things in life.

1.TIME. Unlike in school, it is okay to be late. But at work, Nah-uh! Plus time-management with your studies and all other things i am into like the other business i have, TIRING.

2. MONEY. Money never hugs back. Nothing's more fulfilling than spending something from your own sweat. 

3. PATIENCE. It is not easy to face different people and telling them what burger suits their taste buds, buddy. Not also easy to give off flyers and telling them "Try Hollywood Burgers". Not also easy to be with monsterpous supervisors and curious co-workers.

4. OTHERS. I now know how to mop the floor properly. And also, how to make milkshakes and be reminded to cut my nails because i'm on duty. Hihi

One day, I will leave this work but i will forever cherish this. College days are running out and i'm making the most out of it. This is one of those things i will remember someday and one of the topic i will tell my kids. I just love to work. Working on my own ways, weird but cool ways, indeed. Someday, i will reap off something. I know there's the value of hardwork and i'm still figuring that out! :)
