At least
As i was riding a jeep along Gil Puyat Ave., Makati City, something popped into my mind.
Remember my post regarding job applications? Well, you can consider this as another continuation. So there, as of the moment, I have applied in 6 companies already. Believe it, 6 interviews. The first was in IBM, then Avida Land Inc., then RCBC, Lufthansa Technik Philippines, Unilab, and Metrobank. I have already mastered the answers to the questions,
Tell us something about yourself.
Give us 3 of your strengths and 3 weaknesses.
Why should we accept you?
Yes, it's too redundant. And i'm already pissed! Forgive me Lord if i sound too demanding or bragging or bigheaded. But going through all these applications over and over again, without the assurance that I will be accepted, is soooooo fucking hell of a shit!
And of these 6, i am now down to one. Yes, now, I can only rely on just one job application. Life is too hard.
Yet, my head is even harder.
So why bother?
(a good long sigh)
At least i can say that i experienced a lot.
... at least i experienced to be interviewed by a German in the name of Dirk Petereit (whose name i can't correctly pronounce)
... at least i experienced being in the center of a panel
... at least i saw an aerial view of Makati City (from an interview on the 47th floor)
... at least i experienced riding the MRT with my long sleeves with tie
... at least i tried my best, God will notice that

Graduation
Yeah.
People never seem to get tired of writing about graduation posts. All these sadness, paranoia, reminiscence (?) - all of these are consistently occupying my mind (and my heart) since I experienced last day in a class.
It's sad to bid farewell to you my friends because we knew we may not see each other again. It's even harder to leave especially when you've been used to everyday classes and chitchats within and outside classes. To me, it's hardest to move on and let go of the happiness I am feeling when I think it has just started.
Graduation indeed arouses mixed emotions. Remembering previous valedictory speeches I've heard, happiness mixed with sadness coupled with anxiety are almost always part of every speech. And we sure think that's right. For graduation is all about leaving, going to new places, and being left alone in the center of the world.
No, this is not THE graduation post. I prefer to have it scattered here in my account. I prefer to write all these feelings as they come. I don't want to block these thoughts so as to come up with a wowowiway graduation post. I prefer to cherish the moment, keep it from fading, and unleash it at a right time when i feel that i am ready. Ready to reminisce and break down and cry.
Yes, that's the reason why I can't do a reminiscent post. For it will bring out a lot of emotions, mostly happy, some sad, some humiliating. I will miss you all. I will miss going to school.

Heto na...
Heto na... Heto na... Heto na... Waaaaah!
Fortunately, nag sink in na sa isip ko ang graduation. Malapit na. Konting hinga na lang, April 26 na. Mag mamarch na ako nang naka-sablay.
Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ganito ang mga estudyante. Pag pumapasok, tinatamad. Pag walang pasok, tinatamad pa rin dahil walang magawa. Pag school year, gusto na magsummer. Pag summer, gusto na ulit pumasok. Ang daming demands na kapag binigay na, ayaw na ulit.
Parang ako, 2nd year pa lang yata ako, gusto ko nang maka-graduate para makapag-trabaho na agad. Pero eto, kinakabahan naman ako. Parang gusto ko ulit mag 2nd year at magbakasyon at mag-aral, at tamarin.
Tinamaan ako sa sinabi ni Sir Jonas. Sabi niya, after graduation, you are on your own. Walang pakialam ang boss nyo, walang pakialam ang colleagues nyo, lahat ng gagawin ko, ako na lang.
Nakakatakot at nakakalungkot.
This time, it's my time to shine. According to Sir Jonas ulit, tapos na daw kasi yung time niya, ako (kami) naman ngayon.
Goodluck to Batch 2009 na lang ang masasabi ko.

Jollibee USA Jingle
For our last exercise, B.A. 175 Global Marketing (Sir Jonas) tasked us to do a Jollibee jingle for Filipino-Americans in United States. As such we came up with:
Hey buddy, listen to me yo!
This food is real Filipino
Chicken joy, palabok, adobo
Tara na! Why wait? So let's go!
Jolli-jollibee (3x) The best fast food.
Laugh trip. But i'm sure this'll be a hit.
Watch out for the moves. Haha.
