The Visa Experience

Should have, would have, could have: the past that could not go back to Hypothetically speaking and deep language arises to shallow, as I state that this blog post should have been posted last 31 August 2012, but since my (un)consistent self of free time did not allow me to think of posting one blog post, here it is: I had to wake up around 5:30 on a Friday morning because of one thing: it's my Visa Interview day! My schedule was at 9:00AM, so my Dad and I decided to leave the house at 7. Just about the half of the expressway, we were already stuck in parking lot traffic. My Dad was so stressed and kept telling me that we should have had left a little more early. When the stress happened, my already nervous self, became more stressed and nervous as ever. My Dad decided to switch paths and had gone through Pasay instead of passing through Manila, which is a genius idea (I must say). We reached the Embassy around 8:30AM, just in time to breathe before the schedule.

Internship

While this surreal feeling is abundant in my chest, let me write this down because this feeling would never happen again because... ... I passed my first ever job interview in my whole life! and it's just not even a compromised job that I would take if ever I lose all my hopes up. lol I honestly didn't felt that nervous before the interview because I only had little intentions of going through this job (I, honestly, just tried it out of sheer blue), but I guess, God gave me what's best for me (hopefully). And I will be forever grateful if this pushes through. But then, I don't want to jinx it because I still have another (terror-ed) interview to pass! Thank you Lord for giving me this blessing! :D

being busy never felt this great!

So my Mom and Bro are back in Manila from Palawan, and you know what that means.... freedom! Hihi I actually thought that it's going to be a loooooong weekend full of work load, but I guess I got used to it that it all seemed to be alright in the end. I saw what you did there. lol For the last two days, I've been manning out my mom's store, and that means waking up early, punching numerous digits into the cash register, getting immune to strangers looking at me and avoiding the gaze of .... (awkward). It all involved some tedious work especially if I'm in charge of all the money matters - somehow getting the right arithmetic was my job. Here's a bunch of accessories, my Mom and Brother bought for me. It's so awesome that my Mom knows what I want, and my cute brother, who picked the one from the left, is amazing for picking a beautiful piece. Isn't it pretty? A very cute turtle that my brother bought for himself! It's so freakin' cute!

Coupons, it is!

Hi Junetizens! (the fact that it's already June and we're here in the web. lol) I'm trying my best to bring back my blogging mojo for everyone's sake, but since I don't really recognize the people who read my blog (if there's any), I'm solely dedicating every blog post to myself. lol How lonesome, aye? Anyway, I don't really care if someone actually reads my blog posts. I blog to express, not to impress. Get it? So anyway, I accompanied my Mom to the mall today for some last minute pampering and payments before her and my brother's trip to Palawan tomorrow. It's actually unfair that they're the only ones leaving for some R&R, and leaving my father and I to handle our business here in Manila; but my Mom sort-of promised to give me my own R&R when they get back, only in the form of freedom . lol Since my Mom had her nails done, I decided to have a trim for my dry edged hair. I got discount coupons and a card too, since I k

It wouldn't be much ado if it weren't for the attachment I have come to had with my colleagues at work. Friday the 13th marked the last day of my stay with my second family— Thai Airways International . It does not really had to be like this—separation anxiety (felt like breaking up)—if it weren’t for the people in the company. I really learned to love each and every one—that departing breaks my heart inch by inch. Random thought: I am a big cry baby, that once you told me you’re leaving for a long time/ faraway place, I will freakin’ cry because I hate people leaving (out of my life) especially to the people I have grown to be dependent/ attached with. And that’s exactly what happened last Friday. I actually anticipated the emotion filling up my eyes, but I did not imagine that it would happen because of an unexpected gesture from the two most closest colleague in Thai. Sir Chris : Tin, may papaabot lang ako sa cabinet. (When in fact, the cabinet was a bit reachable in

Fulfillment!

I just noticed that I haven't blogged in a while. Work's been so busy! Oh wait, scratch that. Work's time has been so demanding that I don't have the extra energy to blog consistently. Gomenasai! Don't have much to share now anyway. One significant thing happened yesterday though. I think it was the biggest thing I have ever contributed in my company, in my own expense. So let me do the bragging. :-P My boss asked me to make a video for her speech on Monday, which is due at the end of the day. I accepted the job because I know that I am somehow experienced in doing this (since my FRONOP required one before). Morning: I started piling up my ideas about how the video is going to run through. Come lunch, I haven't had a visual plan, the computer's acting really bitchy plus my colleagues and I bought food that took us 2 hours *insert bad vibes* . I was half-panicking right after eating lunch (it was around 2:30PM by then). How is it possible to make a de

A Week of Cognizance

A week has passed and I'm completely happy that I haven't thought of getting tired of my intern job at Thai Airways. Not that I ought to be, but because I used to be so tired on doing things the moment I get every job done.  Socializing in getting to know everyone in the office seemed more of a normal thing now than before- for I usually do it as a chore.  Mistakes makes sense to me, as I have realized that it helps you in finding the right answers in life (plus makes your life much easier). Earlier this week, I started with this excel task that I need to accomplish. Guessing from afar, I knew I would be able to finish it only by the end of the week, but because of a sudden mistake, my mind produced neurons that made me pop answers on making my life easier. I finished the tasked early on! Nobody is perfect, even me. I realized that I'm too bossy when it comes to being perfect; in work, dressing and other world matters. I realized this week that I should not be mad at pe

Le Welcoming of December

(Left to Right: Dating Game at Yuletide Bazaar Party; Earl Tan reading a girl's magazine hihi; Blue wedges ( Karla , Faith and I bought the same shoes with different colors) that I bought from World Bazaar Festival; One of the aftermath of black-outing last Saturday) I completely lacked the essence of blogging. Sorry guys :( I know I've been busy these past few days; school drama like the previous final paper, manning up interview for prospective practicumers for the next term and never ending search for a company on my next year's practicum. Oh the hassles and bustles of this month is on a total let down. Add it up to the point that I have literally blacked out last Saturday because of... wait what's the reason again? No one knows, but my body's acting really weird because of the stress. Let me recount to you these past few days.

Anxiety for the Unknown

Today marks the end of my agony. The Singapore tour that I handled kicked off at around 4PM and by this time, I expect that they'll be there already. I'm in half-excited and half-nervous mode for my dear passenger-students; I feel like a parent worried about their child. lol  Anyway, anxiety would not do me any good. I would probably hear the results of the trip by Tuesday. Wish me luck! I hope there's some souvenirs or some sort for me after the trip. /feeling

What consumed most of my time this week? Welcoming myself for my on-the-job-training at CSB Travel & Tours. Cleaning out the office at CSB Travel & Tours. Swallowing my position as supervisor at CSB Travel & Tours. Updating my status in facebook and twitter at CSB Travel & Tours. Getting bored that I-do-not-know-what-else-to-do at CSB Travel & Tours. Setting up a Gmail account for CSB Travel & Tours. Basically... My boring on-the-job-training at CSB Travel & Tours. Hopefully, this would just be the only week that we would  be able to bum around and do nothing. I am wishing for some important matters to appear by next week.
