I woke up at 6 AM. They were all at rush. My brothers are preparing to go to school, my dad to his excursion, and my mom, cooking. I left home around 8 AM without any sense of direction.
I rode a yellow cab to Alabamg. It took me around an hour to arrive at a large terminal because of traffic.
I should've got off when I saw Bridgeway road. I thought the cab would make a turn to North Gate but instead it stopped at the terminal after Festival Mall.
I'm clueless of the place. I walked slowly to read sign boards of jeepneys going in and out of the roads. Then I saw South Station. I was planning to cross but good thing I saw a shuttle service to North Gate. I arrived at the Plaza around 9.
I forced myself to stay at the food park across the street 'cause the receptionist told me to be back ten minutes before ten. I had a short look of the area before I went back to start the day's nonsense.
We were told to wait in the Applicant's area. There were a lot of applicants that time. It was around 10:45 AM when the exam started - Email and Computer. The exam lasted for an hour. They told us to wait fifteen minutes for the result. However, it was already 1:00 PM when the results arrive. The applicants were filtered. A lot were unsuccessful, yet still a lot stayed. They told us to take our breaks for thirty minutes.
I went back around 1:45 PM for the next exam. It started around 2:00 PM and ended around 2:40 PM. We had a little break and returned to the room around 3:15. The results were released 3:30. Only one was eliminated.
The group was divided, with five applicants each group, for the pre-screening interview. Lucky I was in the first group, so we're screened first. It was 4:30 PM and I passed the first interview together with three other people. We were told to be back at 6 PM for the Final Interview.
I had a chance to know this people for some time we stayed at the food park.
We went back at 6 PM. There were A LOT of applicants inside.
I'm already tired. It was 8 PM and still no names were called for the final interview. The final interview started at 9:30 PM.
The good thing in meeting a lot of types of people is the idea you'll get in the ways they communicate, how to handle their pressure, and how to make them turn their cards on you. The guy don't know how to smile, so when I felt that I had a very slim chance in the end, I found an opportunity to get a hold of the situation.
Sir: So do you have a question? Jay: Yes there is sir, what are the qualities you are looking for a Tech Support? S: Didn't you read the sign outside? (Okay, next move.) J: But Sir, don't you have any, besides that, I mean your personal OPINION? (He smiled. Go on.) S: Well~ (He explained INSTINCT and ATTITUDE)
At the end of that conversation, I apologized for the question and he LAUGHED Sometimes FLATTERY could be great. A very logical person could be attacked in a personal manner. If you can't reach his mind, pierce on his heart.
It was 10:45 PM when they gave the good news. Job Offer. They told us to wait, AGAIN, an hour for the documents to be prepared.
This time I ate my first meal.
We came back at 11:30 PM. We were asked to sign papers and gave us some instructions before we were released.
I arrived home, 12:30 AM. It was happiness, and shocking melancholy at the end.
My Worth For All These Scars
August 11, 2009
Simon - Lifehouse
Catch your breath, Hit the wall, Scream out loud, As you start to crawl Back in your cage The only place Where they will Leave you alone. 'Cause the weak will Seek the weaker til they've broken them. Could you get it back again? Would it be the same? Fulfillment to their lack of strength at your expense, Left you with no defense; They tore it down.
(Chorus): And I have felt the same as you, I've felt the same as you, I've felt the same.
Locked inside The only place Where you feel sheltered, Where you feel safe. You lost yourself In your search to find Something else to hide behind.
The fearful always preyed upon your confidence. Did they see the consequence, when they pushed you around? The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones, Breaking them 'til they've become just another crown.
(Chorus)
Refuse to feel anything at all, Refuse to slip, Refuse to fall. Can't be weak, Can't stand still, You watch your back 'cause no one will. You don't know why they had to go this far, Traded your worth for these scars, For your only company. And don't believe the lies That they have told to you. Not one word was true you're alright, you're alright, you're alright.
(Chorus)
Farm Ville
August 10, 2009
Di na dapat ako magsusulat pero sa tagal ng trabaho sa Farm Ville, napa'open nalang ako ng Notepad para manggulo na naman sa'yo aking blog. Hindi ko alam kung bakit kailangan ko pang mag'stay ng madaling araw para lang kalikutin ang mumunti kong bukirin sa Facebook. Sana talaga may option na Auto Harvest, Auto Plow at Auto Seeding, masakit kasi sa kamay magclick ng napakaraming Fallow Land. Ayan kabisado ko na.
Di ko na siguro dapat ulitin lahat ng naikwento ko kay Bes nung isang araw sa Facebook. Nababasa mo naman isip ko diba? Tungkol lang naman yun sa stress parin, as always. Ayoko muna sana magkwento hanggang di natatapos ang pagiging tambay ko, pero habang tumatagal mas lalo ko nararamdaman yung stress, at sense of responsibility. Nawala nga ng konti yung intindihin ko sa love life pumalit naman yung status ko dito sa bahay.
Gusto kong pumunta sa malayong lugar, kasama ang taong masayang makasama ako. Ayun. *Sabay untog ng ulong nananakit sa pader.*
Congratulations! You are now Level 17! You are now known as Super Shoveler! ANAK NG! Ano bang pangalan yan! Maganda pa yung mga nauna eh, lalo na yung Professor of Agriculture, kaso patagal ng patagal nagiging corny! MAN!
Respeto. Hindi naman siguro tamang lokohin mo sya, dahil lang sa ibinigay na nya ang sarili nya sa'yo.
Ang dami ko namang natututunan sa Farm Ville! Haha! Sana sa Wednesday masagot ko yung mga tanong sa exam. At promise bukas, papagupit na ko. Sa tingin ko naiilang talaga si Erpat na makita yung buhok ko, kasi kalbo sya. Ewan ang gulo. Ayoko sana pagupit muna, sayang kasi yung pera, pang'load nalang sana ulit. Naalala ko nung College days ko binigyan ko ng meaning yung pagpapagupit ko ng buhok (minsanan nalang din ako magpagupit nun). Sabi ko, every time papagupit ako, ibig sabihin i'le'let go ko na kung sino mang prospectus ko nun. Hahaha. Ang cheesy, pero hindi ko sure kung ganun nga yung nangyari kasunod nun, o mas bumuti lang pakiramdam ko pagkatapos.
Ayan, ang dami kong medals na nakuha. Bibisitahin ko pa dapat yung nasa Friends list ko kaso pumipikit na mata ko. Bukas nalang, at sana may good news din akong makuha.
