Staying Young

I'm not getting any younger but somehow I refuse to grow up. There are times when I think of my future family, wife & kids, a home & the ability to provide them what's best for their needs but then I don't have a girlfriend, think about pokemon & kpop all day. Is there a drinkable solution to jumble both worlds? Well I just pray that special someone will be able to understand me & my crazy trips.

BDO

After months of waiting for a decent job, I decided if I couldn't get one by late 2012, I would resort to teaching at my alumnus, Corpus Christi since it is also one of my possible work plans. But after Lola's 5th death anniversary ... It all started.

Yes ... It was a phone call from BDO HR saying they had a vacancy but in the Insurance department, a subsidiary of BDO. I had tried sending my resume online, be in line for a job fare, interviews & online testings. It was after the 7th month of my application for BDO that I got an opportunity to work. I thought there was no more hope since months have passed by & I was was waiting for another opportunity in another bank. 

October was the interview day, I was uneasy even though I went through a lot of interviews but who knows who will interview you & what will they ask. We were around 4 so the chances are still low, I guess these people before me are more experienced but still I had to give my rookie's shot. Luckily the interview was not as torturous as it seems & it went on smoothly like conversations with an aunt.  
I was also interviewed if ever I was open for a contractual job & I took a short interview.

I prayed that if ever this job was for me then thank you Lord. If not maybe I was destined for something else. After several weeks, the HR called up saying I have requirements to fill that needs to be forwarded to the HR. It was a pre-hiring disclosure. I was not convinced yet that it would be a yes but still why the word PRE-HIRING. Another week passed in an afternoon inside the mall, HR called and said of a scheduled medical check up. Am I close to the hiring? Why MEDICAL CHECK UP. I saw my other partner in the email list so we got to talk to each other. After another week, the real deal came because of the list of requirements in the email. I only had two weeks to complete this before my training in Manila. I was really going to be hired. I was getting my schedule & allowance for a 3 day training.

Moving forward, I was in the airplane to Manila. I was back but still the maze. Luckily my best bud accompanied me to the condotel. I met other rookies in the condotel, others had already started while some will start the next day. That night, I mingled with my floor mates talking about the requirements and all. We were ready for Day 1: HR Orientation.

With plenty of other rookies behind on the training center, we got to learn the basics & ways of BDO. The day ended but because of the traffic we arrived late. Getting ready for another / separation day because we had different assignments, others were tellers while some are inspectors. Day 2: Head Office. 
 

 Briefing + Sessions with different teachers. The interesting part was the sudden dance training for my bosses for their Christmas party. I was glad to share my talent to them. Day 3: Head Office, it was my last day. The people are very accommodating glad they are patient with a rookie who has a load more to learn. Actually I was in a state of information overload with all the system learning & the work flow in general. That night, It was my last day at the condotel and I would be the first one to be evicted in the "PBB" house. I decided to treat my sudden family with a sweet goodbye.

 
It was going to be reality once I start in my assignment in CDO. Again flying back home & reporting directly to my assigned branch. First two days was adjustments because of the online exams and transfer of role from my mentor. I was in a state of information overload + giving up + realizations that maybe this was not for me but I continued. Because of many factors I am now loving my job, with the people you would want to talk to & the blessings that have poured for this job I am thankful Lord for all these. I still have much to learn but everyday is a blessing. As 2013 has just started, I will work hard & do my best for everything connected to my outputs. Aja!

 

Voicing My Reaction

Excuse me for my level of hatred but watch your mouth missy. Just because your bias is from YG does not entitle you the right to talk shit about SM. To bravely say only JYP & YG are quality? Does that imply the artists as well? Then you sure are waiting for the meteor to fall on your head. It's obvious you only listen to the title track & criticize the MV. These individuals are packaged to be talented than your so called quality. Have you listened to SM OST tracks or the tracks within the albums. Did you even bother to witness who are in variety shows, radio broadcast, musicals, tours, & CFs not just shadowing away? Obviously no. 

I hate the most when it's easy to say that it's solely because of money but because we also participate in voting that is to support our biases. SM, YG, & JYP have many fans. So don't be too jelly. If you don't vote that's your fault no need to blame SM stans coz we dedicate our votes to our biases. If you doubt them winning the categories, I also agree some of them don't deserve the spot but some deserve the award because of their output. Summing up business is business and we don't know how companies advertise their talent but we have pieces of ideas may it be good or bad methods, that's life as to how badly we are treated; reality check. In every fandom, there is the black plague. 

No matter how much you criticize other's fandom, it does not make your fandom any better.          

Home

A year after graduation I spent my time enjoying my free time as well as being the assistant manager of my mom in our project house. Finally it stands tall in front of us after months of purchasing materials, choosing cheaper yet stylish interior decors, clean up drive + disposing & recycling, & finally brainstorming on how things are going to be placed. I'm happy that even though I chose not to work for such a time it was really worth the wait. We are happy that our dream house is finally there. It's not only a house but now it has transformed into a home. Thank you God for giving us a sturdy shelter to live on.

Photos

Memories captured in photos makes life a little more worth while as to remember the days you used to be young, crazy, creative, & just enjoying every day that comes after yesterday.

Goals ... Dreams

I have so many dreams. I wanted to be a writer, a cartoonist, a video director, an actor, a newscaster, a dancer, an animator, a chef, a food business owner, a korean pop star. I don't know I sound delusional but I really hope I become one of the above and if given the chance to be reborn again, I would like to be a pop star to be together with my idol group Super Junior. I will work hard from now on to make everyday worth living.

Love

I don’t have a set type. I’m the kind of person to like someone after spending time with someone and getting close to them
