mabuhay! kasalukuyan mong binabaybay ang aking makulay at masayang page!

How will i describe my day?

(NOSE BLEED)

damn! i went out (again) with boss (sir alfie), ultimate crush (ate kat) and the uber sosyal assumptionista intern.. damn.. and what do you expect? of course we ate at a super duper saucy restaurant.. damn..

it's located at the third floor of sagittarius building along HV dela costa in Salcedo Village.

well, i was hesitant to come along kasi i wanted to stay nalang with ate sheena and eat out sa mini stop.. probablu puff a few butts.. pero sabi ni sir i should come along...

they were talking about P500 plus meals.. and i was like (uhmm.. sir, wala po akong pera....) si sir naman, "girls, its my treat!"

yipeee.. so okay na.. no problemo...

we rode the car of Anj, the intern.. haha.. of course may driver, may yaya.. and eto pa, they just go round and round makati while waiting for Anj.. tindi.. talk about aksaya sa gasolina!


hmmm.. the owner welcomed us.. haha.. ok naman.. very comfy... pero naman... parang for you to know the place.. parang you have to be rich.. haha.. saka its always booked daw.. and all that.. ako naman.. the hell i care, ok na nga ako sa sizzling plate sa food court ng SM eh.. hahahah..

nakakatawa nga.. or should i say, its embarassing to be me! damn! parang im so naive from these sosyal things.. kahiya talaga!

so the waiter gave the menu.. and i was like.. which one will i order.. so mega help naman sila.. i was like.. have to pick one each for the appetizers and the main course.. blah blah..


Sir alfie: Have you tasted blah blah blah...

Anj: OH MY GOD! yeah, as in like they serve the best steak there.. hahaha. have you like, been there?

Sir Alfie: YEah, a couple of times!

(about 30 minutes more of discussion about where they've eaten, what countries they went to, the experiences they had in BORA (which by the way, i also had during my recent BORA trip, but uhmm.. im not bragging about it to everyone..)

Anj: (to diane) hey, i love you dress..
Diane: (with pacute accent) thank youw....

Phew! Good thing she did not bother to ask where i bought it! nah i did not bought it from Baclaran or Divisoria, its one of my expensive dresses i bought from SM.. nyeee... kahit SM Department Store, pangit parin pakinggan...

this saucy gurl would go like, "yeah, i shop my dress at San Francisco.... Blah Blah Blah"

hmmm.. well... to start off, its quite pressuring to work here at Activenture Inc.. dahil si ate sheena, a fellow liacom student, is an employee here na... haha.. at siya nag-endorse sakin.. at sobrang galing nia.. maniwala kayo sakin.. (sheena manalese)...

The Adjustment Period: Culture Shock
haha..the first day.. i was late! (stupid for leaving the house at 9am and ur expected at the office at 9:30!).. ano nga ba una kong ginawa? hmmm.. wala.. naggoogle search lang ng sandamukal at.. ahm.. hmm... tumawag sa Department of Trade at nakipagusap dun for the OTOP (One Town, One Product) project.. at ahmm.. nagbook ng hotel room for Mr. Layle del Mundo, Sir Alfie's partner for this car show thing... at ayon..

grabeh, culture shock ako in fairness.... andaming tao sa MAKATI! literal. sorry ah? hindi kasi ako masyado sa makati, im not a frequent goer of Ayala Malls pero gumigimik ako sa Greenbelt madalas... at ampotah, hindi ko alam pano ako uuwi.. men! nagshuttle ako at nakooo ang haba ng pila (helloooo makati to?!) buti nalang tita cristy was there.. (my mom's couz) so she treated me sa shuttle...

Second day ko.. hmm... we met with DTI peeps at nakooo.. nakakatamad ikwento.. basta, one of the Directors was a PGMA suck up.. kulang nalang, he'd kiss GMA's ass... as in.. ang stupid ba naman ng concern nia.. actually hindi stupid.. pero napaka-grrrrr... sabi ba naman nia, we should make it clear not to get sponsors from opposition members or companies na inclined din sa opposition... so ako naman, HeLLO?! if not for sponsors hindi kikita ang event.. at dapat apolitical kami, kasi negosyo naman pinaguusapan dito diba?! toinks talaga....

pero ganoon talaga, may mga taong suck up sa presidente para continuos ang pagakyat ng posisyon....

ah, i forgot, i also deposited several thousand of pesos sa nearby banks na honestly, hindi ko alam pano puntahan! haha.. ngayon naexplore ko na.. na mga ilang metro lang pala layo ng office sa greenbelt! bwahaha! ampotah.. andaming kainan...

Adrian fetched me yesterday.. nag-away pa kami.. ayoko kasi sa lahat ung nagmamarunong siya sa daan well in fact di naman nia alam yung place... so we ended up being lost sa kupal na village na to... tas nung sinabi niang he thinks were lost, nag snap ako.

puro mura na naman inabot nia sakin.. tas ending.. tama naman pala tinatahak naming daan.. haha..

Third day.. ano nga ba? wow! jampack sa trabaho... at anong oras na ako umuwi? 7pm! haha.. pagod ako lagi.. as in...

1 inch a Day
alam nio ba na ang funny ko? fear ko ang walang makainan ng lunch at merienda.. pano ba naman.. liblib na lugar (as i perceive the office to be)...puro mini stop lang kinakainan namen.. haiz..tapos.. super engot ko.. hindi ko alam na, super walking distance lang sa greenbelt ung office..hahaha! nalaman ko lang nung inutusan ako magdeposit sa BPI greenbelt.. ahehehehe..

Wagyu (和牛, wagyū) refers to several breeds of cattle genetically predisposed to intense marbling and to producing a high percentage of oleaginous unsaturated fat. Also known as Kobe-style beef, the meat from Wagyu cattle is known worldwide for its marbling characteristics, increased eating quality through a naturally enhanced flavor, tenderness and juiciness, and thus a high market value. Grocery stores in the United States will sell cuts of American Wagyu for $40/lb to $150/lb (€27,6/kg to €103,5/kg).

Because of the Wagyu cattle's genetic predisposition and special diet including beer and sake,^[1] wagyu yields a beef that contains a higher percentage of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids^[2] than typical beef. The increased marbling also improves the ratio of monounsaturated fats to saturated fats.

There are four major breeds of Wagyu (wa means Japanese, and gyū means cattle, or simply "Japanese cow"): Japanese Black, Japanese Brown, Japanese Polled, and Japanese Shorthorn. Japanese breed names include: Tajima, Tottori, Shimane, Kochi and Kumamoto.

obviously, mahal.. pero it was sooo satisfying, together with the fries... hahaha.. tapos, nitour ako ni sir sa greenbelt (sorry, di talaga ako gala sa makati eh?! pag gimik lang, eh iba naman itsura ng gbelt sa umaga!) naglunch ulit kami ni sir alfie one time sa binalot.. haha.. tapos nag halo-halo kami sa Razon's. he said its the best halo-halo daw.. i say its not, syempre sa Digman, Bacoor parin ang dabest! haha..

pero dahil 1 inch a day ang title, believe it or not, im shredding off one inch off my waist everyday..haha! for the 3 consecutive days that i was asked to walk and deposit money! haha! pano ba naman, ang init at di mo pa alam yung place..ewwww nga kadiri, pawisan ako buong araw.. hahaha.. buti nalang i could freshen up myself din sa office...

More Saucy Stuffs
grabeh, did i just tell you na super sosyal ni boss alfie.. as in.. haha.. panalo.. katawa, bumili na siya ng tickets for us for a theater play.. Avenue Q... i'll have that in another post...

we'll also have a company outing.. yipee! sa batangas. at ang cool, ngayon ko lang nalaman na may white sand pala sa batangas...hmmmm..... alternative swimming spots, ah? hmm.. ano nga ba name nung beach? i forgot eh.. repost ko pag naalala ko na.. haha..

at si sir Alfie, mga tropa lang naman nia sina Tim Yap, Mojo Jojo (magic 89.9) at kung sino2 pa.. may talent management agency din kasi siya, W and WonderKids.. haha

well, hindi ko pa siya napipicturan kasi nahihiya naman ako.. kakasimula ko palang eh!

New Hairdo

Haha! Yeah, had my hair rebonded, then treated with cellophane.. its fabulous! Kaso.. nagmukhang walis or carpet ung hair ko, kaya I had another haircut.. haha.. mas maiksi… pero ayos lang cool parin…

Pagpunta ko nga sa mga aunt ko, nagpagupit din pamangkin ko, si Jaimie.. haha.. magkamukha kami lalo.. kaso, as usual, being the “uber proud” parent that she is, ate madel never missed to brag about it: “the david’s salon yan!” ako naman, “ahh… talaga, ako sa RomAngela by Ching lang eh..” at least nakamura na, maganda pa… Ching Sy has been my hairdresser for quite sometime now, I think a year or more than….

OJT for Marketing

Last Wednesday, the NERDs and I applied for work. Actually ako yung naghatak sa kanila. Ive seen this job, Events Marketing Assistant for an automobile company, compensated at around 20-25,000 php…ahem, sa BMW Philippines pa yon! haha! Kaso the vacancies were already filled when I called so they offered me another post, that of an Accounts Executive.. it was an agency, LBP Services Corp, yeah its owned by a group of retirees from Land Bank.

Kaso, unfortunately, kasi nga im not a graduate pa, I was not accepted… pero the guys were called up and referred to Samsung Philippines, so im happy for them! Haha.. kaso ayaw naman nila.. haha…. Ano ba yan?!

Ako naman, funny kasi I just emailed my CV to ate sheena, a senior to liacom to me… she endorsed me to the boss and was asked to come for an interview.. ayos! Okay naman.. haha! The company is Activenture Events Management Company. He’s like (actually, boss Alf is a gayJ) “you know what, I like you! When can you start?!” ako naman, I was like, “uhhmm, Monday? (it was a Thursday then)” Sir Alf was like, “Monday pa?!” haha.. he wanted me to start na.. and he’s asking for my sample works.. problem, wala na masyado for videos and films.. puro printed and published works lang…

What about my Ad Agencies?

Huhuhu, I really wanted to work in an advertising agency.. I submitted my CVs to several ad agencies in Makati.. pero, mukhang puno narin yata sila.. Sir Dy, Marketing Dept Chair, submitted our CV to Ogilvy and Mather, too.. I was waiting and was confirming everyday to sir dy.. tas sinabi nia, mukhang wala narin yata.. puno na. kainis talaga! Kasi naman, una-unahan kaya don! About Jimenez Basic naman, I really wanted to work there… kasi, ive read their profile and the Bosses are really cool and astig… youngest CEOs in the Phil so far…

The problem: My contrabida prof na look a like ni Jorge Estregan, works at Jim Basic. Imagine, I texted him and asked if there are still vacancies at Jim Basic.. alam nio ang reply:

“Teka muna. Di pa nga sigurado kung papasa ka sa klase ko. Bakit kita tatanggapin?”

Whoat. Okay lang siya? Ako?! Hindi papasa…. Eh, sa tingin ko, (at sa mga nakakakilala sakin).. isa ako sa maayos sa klase nia,, at talaga namang interested ako sa Advertising!

“Sir, are u sure? Perfect po ako sa Midterm at isa lang po absence ko sa klase nio.”

After a while….

“ah, hindi pala ikaw, ibang G pala un.”

Taenang yan, ehh.. ako lang naman G (Gervacio) sa buong marketing,

Nung dumaan ako sa JimBasic, malamang hahanapin ko siya. As usual napakarude parin. Di ko magets eh?! Bakit kelangan niang maging ganon? Inaano ko ba siya, if he cant be nice sa isang student niang eager naman sa klase nia, at least he should act professional nalang, sabihin nalang niang puno na diba?! Taena nia!

Anyways, 4 lang from Marketing ang kinuha nia, and my good friend Bene is one of them. Im happy for her. Haha, katuwa nga kasi, sobrang antagonist din ng buhay nia un! Haha.. funny, after ng isang malupit na sagutan sa klase alam nio nangyare, Jorge Esteregan texted him and asked for her CV.. waheheh.. taenang yan..

MY Fucking GRADES

I know my main title is new stuff.. well, not to brag about this, but I am a hell of a studious freak.. and I never get a grade lower than C aside from my Math/Computation subjects… pero namaaan.. my grades ngayon are like, the Shittiest! Kaya, its sumthing new.. kasi I am always satisdied with my grades.. pero ngayon! I can just flush my cards down the toilet!

Some of my grades, kasalanan ko talaga.. siguro nga, baka lahat kasalanan ko bakit mababa.

Feature and Technical Writing (B, 3.0) – Monday 9am ang class ko dito, at ginagawa ko ang mga articles ko due on that day at around 12am-3am, then 6am-8am. Haha.. kaya, Masaya na at naka-B grade pa ako. Sa totoo lang, di ako motivated eh. I want Ms. Wowie to be my Prof, siya lang! haha.. wala nang iba… saka madalas ako late.. kaya ayun..

Taxation (C-, 2.0) haha.. akalain mo yun, sa totoo lang, I conditioned myself that I would repeat this subject and take it again! katuwa… as in I hate computations and all that…pero, super idol ko prof ko dito, si Sir Quiambao, uber comedy, in fact, I even take down his jokes in my planner! Haha.. for keeps ang jokes ni sir eh..

Business Communication (B, 3.0) hay nako, hard to please naman talaga si Ms. Galvan. In fact siya pa nga nagmomock sa Mass Comm, subtly saying na we are dumb daw.. ay nako.. I don’t care..

Media Events Management (A-, 3.7) ayon! That’s what im talking about! Kahit lagi akong late dito, at least kita ni sir gascon eagerness ko sa klase nia… I see myself naman talaga working in an events mngment company, or an advertising agency…

Mass Media and Society (B+, 3.5) nyahaha.. I don’t see the relevance of this class talaga…haha.. buti nalang love ko si Sir Chally.. wala naman kami ginagawa kundi pagusapan ang current events.. ahahaha.. pero parang pro-active viewership ang pinakacore ng class…

Marketing Research (B, 3.0) haha.. laging late, missed the only 2 quizzes, but always submits the best paper in class.. kaya siguro nahatak. Ahahaha… sabi pa ni Ms. Odette, “you write well, you should be a writer” ako naman.. uhmm, “Ms. O, ako po next EIC ng school paper” J

Sales Management (A, 4.0) OMG. Ayoko sa Sales pero akalain mo yon. A ako? Haha.. Masaya pero no comment kay Sir Santos.

At ang ultimate class ni Jorge Estregan..

Advertising Management (C, 2.5) Whaaat?! Eto lang grade ko after all the efforts at mga pabibo sa klase nia… haha.. biatch sia! Haha… problem lang na nakikita ko, namiss ko final activity nia and allegedly, it’s a 30point activity daw. Yung finals namin, a project, di ko din trip.. id give it a low grade din If I were the professor. Not that creative, halatang minadali at di na masyadong pinagisipan.

At ang CQPA ko….hmmm teka, hindi ako marunong magcompute…

Shit.. gusto ko pa namang humabol for next year.. shit… kung di sana ako commerce.. siguro, cum laude ako (At kung siguro, masipag pa ako..)

Ayun, nacompute ko na….3.0875… nyahaha.. long way to be a Cum Laude (3.500)
