Liar. Liar. After a number of days of sneaky leave in the office... it culminated yesterday, Friday May 02, 2008. In case na hindi nyo pa alam, I opened my doors to new opportunities to other companies... in other words new job, new company.
Yesterday was the date for my final interviews. Yes interviews kasi dalawa sila: Jollibee Foods Corporation and ESS Manufacturing Corporation.
The first one was scheduled at 10 in the morning.. the company: Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC). Final Interview with the Mr. Paul Zaldarriaga, Vice President for Information Management. I did some research and found out that he's a graduate from La Salle.. not just a graduate but somewhat "bigatin" haha.. his thesis was the trimestral system of La Salle, it was his thesis kung bakit trimestral ang La Salle.. and I learned that he's part of the board of La Salle. So anyway, the interview went on the usual way asking some questions about myself and work. Towards the end of the interview he asked me what can I say with the CompSci curriculum of La Salle... and of course being a graduate of La Salle, I said that it is excellent. Then he said "excellent as compared to?" Then since I know that he's really a true green-blooded Lasallian, I replied "as compared to Ateneo" hahaha we both laugh at it haha. Anyway, that surprised me is when he asked me how soon can I start working with them hahaha well to cut the long story short, he told me to get in touch with my future boss to discuss about the job offer.
After the final interview with JFC, the next one is with the Program Director for Asia Pacific of ESS Manufacturing Company. This is also a Final Interview but the difference is that this is done over the phone, my cellphone. Why? because he (the program director) is in Dallas, Texas.. again like any interview the same questions were asked and again asked me how soon can I start. He also asked me if I am willing to be trained abroad for two weeks. Of course I said YES! hahaha who wouldn't want it right? Anyway, I passed the interview and told me that the HR of the Philippine Office will call me regarding the job offer.
So there, two companies, both with upcoming Job Offer... the problem now is whom will I choose... Big Decision that I should make anytime soon... HELP!
P.S. Mga officemates sa Technistock, sino may template ng resignation letter? Pahiram! Thanks!
P.S.S. Obviously hindi for "Everyone" yung post ko.. because well ayaw ko muna makita ng HR ng Technistock ung nangyari sakin hahaha So sa mga taga-Technistock (including former Technistock-ers) quiet lang muna kayo til makapagpass ako ng letter hehehe :P Thanks!
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived; Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left.
Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said "Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel.
"Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh....Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself."
Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her!
Suddenly there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way.
Love realizing how much he owed the elder, asked Knowledge, another elder.
"Who helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love.
"But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and
answered, "Because, only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

Thanks to Erin for the thoughts!
Why you still haven't found THE ONE.... Batu-bato sa langit, ang tamaan... BINGO!
12) Destiny Addict
Ito 'yung mga taong hinihintay na gumawa ang tadhana na gumawa ng paraan para pagtagpuin sila ng kanilang mga "soulmates" and whatever. Ayaw kumilos o kung ano pa dahil naniniwala siya na kung sino man 'yung talagang meant for him/her ay darating na lang bigla sa paraang maaaring hindi niya inaasahan--wow, parang Serendipity.
Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Dadating din 'yan. 'Wag kasing hanapin!"
11) Perfectionist
Simula nung magkamalay ang taong ito, nakalista na ang mga bagay na gusto niya sa kanyang magiging boypren/girlpren. Kapag may nakilala siya at nakitang madumi ang kuko, magkadikit ang kilay, may butas sa ngipin, o parang penguin maglakad, wala na. Turn off na 'yun para sa kanya.
Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Ok na sana siya e. Kaya lang gusto ko 'yung ganito..."
10) Busy Bee
Pasensya na sila pero masyado kang maraming inaasikaso tulad ng libro, bolpen, papel at calculator. Umaalis ka ng 6 am sa bahay at umuuwi ng 7 ng gabi 'pag weekdays. Pagdating mo sa bahay, gagawa lang ng homework at matutulog na. Masaya ka nang makanood ng TV 'pag Sabado (at gumawa ulit ng homework). Sapat na sa'yo ang kumain sa labas kasama ang pamilya 'pag Linggo (at gumawa pa rin ng homework).
Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Sorry. Wala akong time sa ganyan e."
9) Friend Forever version 1
Kunwari ka pa dyan. Alam mo namang gusto mo talaga 'yang best friend o special friend mo pero hindi mo lang sinasabi at pinapadama dahil ayaw mong masira ang pagkakaibigan niyong dalawa. 'Yung tipong 'pag may kasamang iba 'yung gusto mo, kunwari ka pang masaya ka para sa kanya pero sa totoo lang, gusto mo na malusaw na parang ice caps dahil sa Global Warming.
Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "I'm so happy for you!" o "Sayang naman 'yung pinagsamahan namin e."
8) Friend Forever version 2
Wala tayong magagawa pero talagang malapit ka lang sa kabilang kasarian--pero bilang kaibigan lang. One-of-the-boys, ladies' man. Hindi ka naman homo o bi pero sadyang kaibigan lang ang tingin mo sa mga taong hindi mo kapareho ng chromosomes. Masaya ka nang nakaka-hang-out lang sila, nakakakwentuhan, niyayakap nang walang halong malisya.
Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "May inuman ba mamaya?" (kung babae) o "Hatid ko ba kayo mamaya?" (kung lalaki)
7) Born to be One
Single-blessed ka at wala ka nang magagawa kung ganun. :) Nilikha ka siguro para maging mag-isa (pero syempre may pamilya at kaibigan ka naman, duh) hanggang tumanda ka na at ipadala sa Home for the Aged. Marami akong kakilalang mukhang ganito ang patutunguhan at hindi naman sila mga pangit o abnoy talaga. Minsan lang, masyado silang masungit.
Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Mag-isa ako."
6) Happy-go-lucky
'Eto 'yung taong masaya na sa trip-trip lang at kung anu-anong mga happenings. Kahit sino na lang basta no strings attached. For fun lang at walang seryosohan please. Personally, ayoko nung mga ganito. Umaapaw lang siguro 'yung mga taong ganito sa L. Magbuhos ka nalang ng malamig na tubig sa iyong buong katawan at solb na 'yan.
Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "I'm not ready to commit e, but I really like you."
5) Wrong Time
'Eto naman 'yung mga laging idinadahilan na masyado pa silang bata o kaya masyado na silang matanda. May mga tao raw na ganyan, 'yung pakiramdam nila laging may tamang panahon para sa pag-ibig. Pero ang labo lang kasi tuwing may pagkakataon naman, lagi nilang naiisip na maling panahon pa iyon. Oo, wrong timing lagi ang pag-ibig para sa kanila kasi madalas sumasakto kung kelan meron silang board exams, problema sa pamilya, o long test kinabukasan. :))
Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "We had the right love at the wrong time..."
4) Parent Trap
Ayaw ni mama o ni papa na magkaboypren/girlpren ang kanilang unica hija/hijo kahit na 22 years old na ito at kumikita na ng sarili niyang pera. Kailangan daw magkaron ka muna ng isang strand ng puting buhok bago may makadalaw sa'yo sa bahay. O kaya, baka ikaw 'yung may problema dahil natatakot ka sa iisipin ng mga magulang mo tungkol sa taong iyong gusto. Baka kasi sabihin nila na masyado siyang bansot/matangkad/baboy/payatot para sa'yo.
Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Baka kasi magalit si Papa."
3) Trauma
Dahil sa dami ng mga heartbreak na iyong nadama at emo songs na napakinggan mo na noon, sinumpa mo nang hindi ka magmamahal. Ayaw mo na. Sawa ka na sa paglalaslas ng pulso, este, sa paglalagay ng mga madramang stat message sa YM at pag-iyak ng balde-baldeng luha. Awwwww. >:D< Pwede rin namang masyado kang insecure sa sarili mo kaya hindi ka makapagmatapang na magventure into some love quest.
Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Pagod na pagod na akong masaktan!" *hikbi*
2) Your Ex-Lover Is (NOT) Dead
Yikeeee. Mahal pa rin niya ang kanyang ex at hindi siya maka-get-over the person. Boo. Pilit pa ring inaalala ang mga tawanan, iyakan, at PDA moments nilang dalawa kahit 'yung ex niya ay nakikipag-(insert verb here) na sa ibang babae/lalaki. Sasabihin mong nakapag-move on ka na pero pag nagkwentuhan tungkol sa pag-ibig, tandadadaaaaan! Siya na naman naiisip mo.
Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "I'm over him/her..." *tapos iiyak bigla :))*
1) Ayaw
Dalawa na namang kaso ito. Una, ayaw mo lang talaga magka-"someone". Hindi ko na pipilitin ungkatin 'yung dahilan pero may mga pagkakataon lang talaga na ayaw mo. Ikalawa naman, baka...ayaw kasi sa'yo nung gusto mo. And that's the shizzest thing ever! Pwedeng ayaw niya sa'yo dahil may girlpren/boypren siya, busy siya or whatever, o kaya ayaw ka lang niya talaga at wala ka nang magagawa kung ganun. :(
Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Ayoko pa magkaboypren/girlpren e." o "Hindi naman niya ako gusto."
So alin ka dito???
This afternoon, just before I leave the office, I got the chance to talk to one of my officemate. I told her the hidden story about my previous blog entry.. on how I feel right now. During she made me realize that not everything is concrete or what I perceive to be what is going on might not be the real thing. But I told her that I still don't know what to do or what should I feel and why am I feeling this way.
In the end I just told her that I will just leave it like that. I'll just continue doing the things that I normally do. Get over my feelings and probably accept the fact that its already a "gameover" for me.
I'll try to be normal again but not promising. Its so hard especially if you see "them" often - you see them right there in front of your eyes. I try to act as if this was just a dream. Yes, I am moving on.. making myself busy, trying not to get affected.
How long before I will be back to my normal self again? I don't know but one thing is for sure... I'm getting there.
Its been a long time since I felt like this. In fact, I can't even remember when was it. Why is it that I am affected so much? There is no valid reason that I can give. Is it envy? Is it jealousy? I do not know. All I know is that I am hurting each day.
The feeling that I have is similar to a kid who lost his toy truck and eventually finding it and it already belongs to someone else, a new kid. I don't have the guts to say to people how I really feel. Maybe that's the reason why I am a bit unsure of my feelings or what I should feel.
Maybe I should just get on with it Pretend that everything is ok and fine even though its not. To just smile and fake it because nobody would know the difference. And lastly, to just keep quiet about it even though it hurts so much.
