hello! CAN'T WAIT TO EAT!!! yumyum!!-kax i'm at my cousin's house.. as predictable as we are... yes we do have a sleepover.. good thing i wasn't yet again on skeleton force like the last holiday.. we're waiting on the mcD's we ordered... as you read on the earlier quote from kax.. we're drooling ourselves dry from waiting... 24 hours pala a!
well, what have i been upto for the past few weeks... naku! i'm turning into an average workaholic who ends up updating his / her once or twice a gazillion years.. don't worry i'll try my darn hardest to update.. i'll even secretly access the internet in the office.. even if my boss who watches everyone like a friggin' hawk is around.. i'll overcome such obstacle in order to create a decent post.. o diba? so better be grateful dear readers.. this a friggin' divine sacrifice!!! hahaha
a. ) a week after our playa getaway we went to the wonderful terrazas together with my baby cousins allen and ayie... we had a blast.. even if the sun wasn't completely visible because it was kinda cloudy.. and a friggin' humongous autistic kid tried to murder my beloved ayie by pulling her to the deep end of the pool.. i think he's just jealous because she was having more fun than he did even if she was swimming in ankle-deep water.. we went to tagaytay afterwards and bought "buko cake" (hahaha) buko pie pala!
b.) remember the concert i was blabbing about in my earlier posts... well we, my baby sis j.logs, lai and a couple of my churchmates came and had the "worship night of our lives" like what the ticket and poster tags had promised… it felt like no one can steal the joy we had not even the friggin' robber who tried to snatch my cousin lai's digicam. he just came out of nowhere while we were camwhoring inside the car.. good thing God was with us and protected us and the robber never got what he wanted… the only impulse i had was a friggin' scream.. i felt like a developed the reflex of a retard and never had the chance to think fast.. i realized i was holding a bottle made from hard plastic.. i could’ve hit the guy unconscious.. oh, well i believe i was in a state of shock at that time…
c.) my first Christmas party is up on Saturday.. cross your fingers and wish to your lucky stars for me so i can win something big… a tv maybe .. hahaha yeah right!
d.) i’m totally in love chad peralta!!!!!!! i love him so much… i’m gonna name my kids after him (o goodness that’s kinda overreacting..) MY EYES ARE LIKE TOTALLY GLUED TO TUBE AS IN SUPER GLUE GLUED!!! J check him out together with the other academates at www.pinoydreamacademy.com.ph (I’m plugging like a true blue chaddick!)

whoast.. how has it been since my last post?
my dear ol' blog's gathering knee-high dust from my being busy from my "work".. crap! i'm turning into a major workaholic!!!
well, what have i been up to?
1. i went to playa with a couple of my dear lovely cousins 2 weeks ago..
and we had a major major blast..
we had a roadtrip.. stopping over every food stall there.. and buying foodies like mad fat cows!!!.. ate a container of "are-you-crazy-for-buying-a-friggin'-expensive-thing" kind of chocoflakes..
we took pictures at the least expected places..
acted like total con-artists... made no.2 at the disgusting chowking at sta.rosa...
and did i mention that i had my period, while splashing away at the wonderful pools of playa..hahaha eeew... got nth degree sunburns that are now finally peeling off..
2. had a long, long, long convo with a couple of ol' church friends at glorietta... and made a new one..
3. i was dumped with a loads work last saturday and this day.. when my senior went on sick leave... i acted like a friggin' paranoia-stricken freak whenever someone gave me a task.. crap i've been in the office for about a month.. i haven't gotten a zilch of idea onto where and what were they talkin' about.. good thing God gave me wisdom and guided me through.. i would think i'd make it through the day without His trusty help..
4. i developed two "cutter" injuries because of my friggin' carelessness.. i wouldn't wonder if one of these i'd lose a finger.. oopsie.. i take that back...
5. i've been friggin' late twice within the first week of this month.. and i can hear the alarm and the bells ringing for warning.. because one more tardiness would get me into big trouble.. oh the horror of being slapped with a MEMO by your early-bird-ey bosses who get emotional when you wouldn't get to greet them even if they are friggin' far away from you--as in ant-sized view far away! (well, i'm exaggerating at that.. but i'm serious they get offended when you forget to greet them...)
6. just got my first paycheck last week.. and blew it off.. for a wonderful, wonderful cause.. I FRIGGIN' GOIN' to A CONCERT ---

sabato, ottobre 07, 2006My own MUG, SPOON and FORK?
this post is dedicated to:
those of you who are very avid readers of my fanta-bulous sometimes outdated blog and are considered "tekie-KINETIC fans"--well, that was an idea for a name... hahahaha
my beloved relatives, who managed to do ear-bleeding "do-you-have-work?" question-and answer-portions
my parentals, who in their subtle ways managed to give me hints of my very annoying bum life by handing me newspapers and printed-out web ads with bold "wanted graphic artist/designer" in them...
my dear ate middy, who totally gave me a full length sermon on job-hunting when she came home 2 months ago...
my beloved baby sis, j.logs, for being very very very subtle... unlike my parentals, you managed to tell me straight that i'm acting like a totally ass-brained bum for not doing anything productive with my so-called "va-ca-zionne"...
mai, o dear mai, my fellow bum-mer i'd surely miss our "dibidi" (dvd) sessions, and mashed potato making... our crazy rainy monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday baths...
lai, my sis, who just laughed off my answering-essays-for-job-applications-phobia...
enough with the dedications... this post is turning into an awards speech...
why all this?
for 127 days i was on a hunt. i've searched through gazillions of classifieds. i've went through a number of unsuccessful and kinda crappy, nerve-racking interviews. i was among a sea of jobless newly grads waiting on an opportunity.
i had one job opportunity which was totally "in-the-bag". it was friggin' sure that i'd get in, but i managed to screw up and went on "vacation mode". just a week before i passed my resume, the company managed to hire someone else... i know, i know, i know i was stupid... and i never forgave myself for it..
but then, God taught me something..
while i was praying He gave me a word of encouragement in Psalms 37 and it was the same words i've been holding onto for 127 days...
"..Trust in the Lord, dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give the desires of your heart..."
Well i sure did "enjoy the safe pastures" of my parentals... and surely i delighted.. but i wasn't trusting in the Lord. all i relied on were myself and the people around me...
"..Commit your way to the Lord , trust in Him and He will do this; He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun..."
i did.. i surrendered everything to Him. each thing i lifted up to Him...
"..Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways..."
this was so hard.. especially when almost a half of my batchmates have already been hired and were totally starting their careers.. i can't help but become paranoid of what my future would become...
Oct. 3 = tuesday: i decided on testing "mai's newly hooked DSL" and browed through the net. i saw an ad in a jobsearch site. i passed my resume. i never knew what to expect.
Oct. 4 = wednesday: i got a call for an interview at 2pm the very next day. for the first time ever, in the history of my pre-interview jitters, i was calm and managed to sleep so peacefully. i felt like a granny for sleeping at 9pm...
Oct. 5 = thursday: interview day. the day of reckoning (eew where did that come from?). i was so nerve-racked when i got there. my tummy went past the butterflies stage. it was on a knot-- all kinds of it from french, bunny ears, choco knot? (nge corny). i felt like i was gonna hurl any minute..
but then i remembered Psalms 37..
i let it run through my head and calm me down.. i let God calm me down...
when i saw that the interviewer was foreign.. i kinda panicked and developed a vocabulary of a 4-year-old... but again i let God calm me down..
the interviewer told me that i didn't match their requirements (which weren't mentioned in the jobsite)...
* they needed a 24-29 year old.. heck i'm only 21..
* with 2 years of experience.. uh-oh
i felt my heart stop beating.. i let God calm me down...
yet, i answered every question he had with pure sincerity. i never planned on lifting myself up.. never told boastful claims.. i talked to him straight from the heart..
i went straight home after the interview, rested a bit and watched dvd's, ate a hearty meal of McD's chicken rice burger and diet coke--which was totally scrumptious by the way.. i haven't really settled in when the phone rang.. it was the company that gave me the interview. they told
me to report to their office on monday at 7:30am and to bring my documents, my
own mug, and my own spoon and fork.. then my jaw dropped and it sank in..
"MY OWN MUG, SPOON AND FORK?"
oh my gosh! I'M IN! I'M TOTALLY IN!
I GET TO WORK AND HAVE FREE FOOD AT THE SAME TIME!
OH GOD THANK YOU!
i sure felt like my smiles were "shining like the dawn and the noonday sun". all i ought to do was praise God... i totally flipped, i jumped like a maniac, told every relative that i'm finally out of the jobless-newly-grad species... and finally one of the working aliens.. hahaha. i've never felt such fulfillment in my life! i bet my parents were totally dancing and screaming loudly from the inside when they heard!!!
i managed to fix a couple of the papers needed yesterday.. and totally loved my dad for staying with me. he even answered some of my forms for me... i totally saw the joy in him that finally his daughter managed to land a job and that he's got one last child to worry about.. heheh love you, love you DAD!!!
so all the other "jobhunters" out there.. there's still
hope trust in God and keep in mind Psalms 37...
i end with a quote from daniel franco of project runway...
"may you find your bliss".. haha
