Today is my second day with AECOM. We had a meeting with Miss Kathy that started at 10am and ended at around 4pm. I was able to learn a lot about mining and the EIA process. I realized that it’s not enough that you know the technical details of a certain project (i.e. science technical details) but you also have to know about the environmental laws of the Philippines. Another thing to know is the process of how to obtain permits from the government, how to request data from government agencies, to know the EIA process itself- how to go about it and how to attack the problems, how to think of mitigation measures given such impacts.
These are the things that I would like to learn. Anything about the environment makes me happy and excited. I guess I was able to find my niche early on in life. I know I love doing science. Though this may not be in depth hardcore science, but it’s still part of science. And I love it. Another thing I love is traveling: Learning while traveling. Not everyone is given the opportunity to do the travels that I do. You go to areas where tourists don’t go, commune with the locals, learn their cultures, immerse yourself in their ways, try to speak their language, see geological features that are not typical tourist destinations, rather pristine and archaic. Yun yun e.
I was so blessed to have jobs that really interest me. Thank you Lord. :) I feel excited every time I wake up, I feel driven. Yes at times I feel tired, but that tiredness does not equate at all to wanting to quit. What it brings me is more motivation, more inspiration to continue doing what I love to do.
Sigh. J Ang saya ng buhay. Thank you Lord. :)
