New Friend and New Career Option

Today, I was interviewed for PLDT. As usual, I came in late. In fact I was the last person interviewed. There were five of us in the batch of applicants but only two were hired. I was among the two. It was so unfortunate that those people who came from far places didn't make it. The secondary school English teacher failed the interview, so does the 2-year Sutherland Customer Care Representative. The honorary student with a lot of co-curricular activities also failed. There were just a few who were accepted. Good thing I learned my lesson. Not to brag and stay focused on what I'm saying. Yehaa. Aireen and I, both Ateneo graduate, nailed the gruesome test!

The Odd Feeling of Unemployment

Sigh. I'm so confused. Should I stay here in Naga or should I go somewhere else? Should I study law or take up my masters degree or should I work? Sigh. I hate this feeling...

OopZ! I did it again!

Call Center Agents. Hmmm. Why do I always think that it's a high-end job? During interviews, I mess up! I often brag on my accomplishments and my amazing personal qualities. I think that it's the best way of selling myself. I make use of exaggerated words to emphasize my traits and superb potential. Now I realize those weren't necessary. Call centers seek those who can speak English and nothing more. Too bad I can speak Mandarin just as good. ^__^ "Mike, you're over-qualified!" Yehaa...

Unwelcomed Guest

It was eleven in the morning when an unknown disturbance came to ruin my sleep. It wasn’t my dad’s chickens doing the Toktoraok or the cats playing on the rooftop. It was my old friend who came in for a visit. He came to ask about the Misibis employment… but the topic was often diverted to things about Barri, his crush (I guess). His name’s Peter and he’s uhmm… gay. Peter and I never really mingled as friends. We were childhood foes and we really never dared staying at one place together. Anyway, I was ‘cornered’ so I had to entertain him. I guess he enjoyed my hospitality that he stayed for the next three and a half hours. How did it go? Honestly I don’t know. He just played some games on my computer and watched Beowulf. Same old same old. We never talked. LOL.

Achievement

"My biggest achievement is having been able to finish college as a Cum Laude at Ateneo de Naga University. Along with this achievement comes my overall personal growth which is shaped by the Ateneo community. I have been exposed to the realities of the business world by starting up my own business. It also such a great accomplishment to be able to have the privilege to attend to various national seminars and inter-school painting competitions (where I usually win). Above all, the greatest indication of my genuine success is making my parents proud."

Organized Chaos

I went to attend mass with my dad on a Saturday afternoon at a nearby church. We went shopping after and bought something for dinner. I was craving for a McDonald’s float so I decided to buy a To Go. Then, suddenly, as I was waiting for dad, I saw her in a yellow shirt. She was walking around with a guy and I didn’t know what to do. Sigh. Part of me wanted to approach her (and probably spank the guy she’s with) and another part wanted me to go home and hide under my blanket. That was the first time I ever saw her with someone up-close. Why am I getting jealous? We’re not even together! Wake up Mike!
