I'm Not The Brightest Bulb In Class, But I'm Getting Polished

I now have a company for my internship! After insisting to the HR manager that yea, I am willing to spend my OJT days there in Makati, I was accepted without much preamble. I would be on a different department though. When I had refused to be assigned to the IT Department doing Programming stuff, Ms C, the HR manager, was supportive enough, saying that I have had enough of that already. She gladly provided me with another option: do all techie stuffs – networking, troubleshooting and all! – on a rotational basis. Kewl. I thanked her and that closed up the deal (except for a few contracts that I must sign).
Now for the minor stuffs: I have forgotten to ask her about the dress code. I suppose it would be office clothes. Of course it is! But somehow I wish it’s not. Imagine everyday going to work wearing long sleeves and slacks. With a tie. Aaaiieeee!
Aside from my shortage of wardrobe, I think sporting a business attire on the streets of Manila is dangerous. Even if I do not have a car, still dangerous. Tsk, tsk. . Manila is teeming with bad people, creeps and bozos. Do you know what would happen if some stray punk sees me?
I would be mugged.
I would be kidnapped.
I would be. .uhmm..let’s leave out the worse scenario.
So that’s one of the bad news. Moi going up there all alone. Living all alone. Eating all alone. And speaking of being alone, I think there might be another complication: I f*kn do not know enough household chores! Yah. Honestly. I can’t let Mr Labada take care of my laundry or eat at some fast food joint everyday. Very magastos. The allowance for my internship wouldn’t last for three months. Unless I would turn out to be one of those creeps and mug some poor newbie.
But that’s not a great idea. I don’t want to spend my internship in jail – holidays included.
I have grand plans though. a) To tag along my sneaky sister as my PA, but that would rub me off my pleasure for freedom or b) board with my female classmates, but none of them has been accepted by a company yet. Maybe c) I would board on a girls dormitory so that the girls there could teach me? Or d) I would personally ask my mom about these stuffs and start learning now?
Hmm..I think Option D would be less embarassing. Hey, I love my mom, and she loves me too. She’d be more than willing to teach her son cooking lessons, doing laundry or sewing.
