At last...

Accenture
I went to Makati to take my examination for Accenture. My application as a Junior Software Engineer was long overdue and I am really surprised when they called me up. I mean it’s almost two months since I passed my resume and heard nothing from them. But I’m glad they still did even though it took a huge amount of time. It’s better than never. And yet better compared to what Very told me (we arranged to meet at Glorietta after my examination) who has a friend that took almost a year before Accenture scheduled them for an examination. How awful is that? That is ages! I could have not even remembered applying for that company. But oh well still they did call. Hooray!

The exam is not easy at all. It’s so freaking hard! A lot of algebraic expressions, comprehension, abstract reasoning and strenuous flowcharting. They don’t even provide a scratch paper for computation. Everyone knows I hate numbers. My brain cells starts to evaporate in an instant! It took a few minutes after the examination for my head to recuperate. I did my very best and I hope I do well. If it’s for me then so be it and if it’s not for me then shame on them!

Nokia 6260
Very and I had an early dinner at KFC. Had a chit chat about my examination and the different possible uses of our phones (Yep, we have the same phone model: NOKIA 6260-Matches your moods) Talk about promotion! We came up with weird but functional uses of our phones that will surely make our life a little easier. Of course I will not disclose those information since I am planning to sell those innovative ideas to all the phone manufacturers. Yes Very, we are destined to become rich, big time! Hah! (Wishful thinking!) Sorry, got carried away. Anyhow I had a great time.

Power-up!
I really don’t know where I am getting my supply of energy. I am exhausted but still I’m up writing an entry for my blog. Inspired? Nah, just can’t sleep. Bummer!

My night is so demeaning and cheap: Part deux

The recaps of what happened last night will be in cliffnotes. Warning: this is going to be a boring entry. But who cares? This is my blog!

McDonalds
My three friends and I agreed to meet up at Mcdonalds uptown to have our dinner. After eating we stayed for a while to chat and enjoy boy watching. Since we have a lot of spare time to kill we decided to go to twenty eight-4 to have a few bottles of Serbesa. Why not? It’s Saturday night!

Bar hopping
As expected the bar is jam-packed when we arrived so we have to look for another place. While searching for a good bar to settle in a guy (Let’s call him Mr. Engineer) approached me and to my amazement starts talking to me. How strange is that? At first I am not aware that he is conversing with me. A little bit confused of what just happened I asked my friends if they are familiar with the guy and if he is talking to me. They said they don’t know the guy but they are positive that he is talking to me. Anyway I cannot quote verbatim what he said to me coz I understand nothing. Sick bastard!

Mr. CG
I tried to remember his face but the first thing that popped out of my mind is Mr.CG. For those of you who don’t know Mr. CG, kindly read my previous entry here. I mean he sports the same haircut, he’s wearing the same frameless eyeglasses and has similar body build. But I am not sure because the place is badly lit.

Studio IV
We found Mr. Engineer in Studio IV. We went in to have a few drinks. I want to find out if he is really Mr.CG. Not that I want to hang out with him, just to apologize for not entertaining his chitchat. Before we leave my friends told me to just approach him so we can go and call it a night. I did and asked him if he is Mr.CG (Btw the place is so noisy I need to shout my lungs out just for us to hear each other, the result is a sore throat the following day. Damnit!) He said yes so I assumed he is really the guy I met the other week. One friend of Mr. Engineer confronted me asking if there is a problem. (Istorbo! Aagawin ko ba friend nia?! What a loser! Buti na lang napaliwanagan. Ang kuletz ng mga lasing ha!) Anyway he asked me to introduce him to my friends and I did. Mr.Engineer introduced himself as Ed, an engineer from San Jose . (Take note: At this point, I’m the only one who is not aware that he is not Mr.CG! My friends don’t even dare inform me!) While they were talking one of the lasing friend grabbed my by the arm and start apologizing for what he did a while ago. (If he doesn’t cut in I would have found out! Bastard!)

Silver HONDA City
My two friends went out to the parking lot first followed by me and Mr.Engineer who is still offering to join them for free (Sorry but we can afford! Cheap!) otherwise he can just give us a free ride (Sorry again we can manage!). My friends went on and I was left alone convincing Mr.Engineer to go back to his friends and we can go on our separate ways. I was waving my friends to come over to help me send off Mr.Engineer because he is too makuletz na but my other friend misunderstood my gesture and thought I was waving goodbye and so they left me there! You know what happened next? He told me to get in to his car and I did! (I am so stupid for letting a complete stranger drag me to his car… but I thought he is Mr.CG!) We went on around the city looking for my two friends. I asked him not twice but thrice if he is really Mr.CG and he unworriedly told me he is Ed. What the f*ck? I was dumbfounded! All along I was with a total stranger?!?!?! Surprise surprise! My initial reaction was to unlock the door and get ready to jump out. But I stayed calm and told him to just pull over. I went out immediately and hail a tricycle (Cheap again! Hehehe) and gladly went home… sound and safe! Whew! Lesson learned from this experience: Stick with your friends when going out and be extra vigilant when meeting a stranger.

My night is so demeaning and cheap!

I really have to mark this day, the 24th of September 2005! Trust me, this night is unbelievable and I cannot believe it happened to me. I am still shaky after what happened. What am I thinking? How stupid of me to do those things? Shame on me!

I am for sure losing my sanity! I cannot focus right now so I’ll be posting the details on my next entry. Words cannot express what I feel right now…

****************************************

Greetings to Ate Jenny and Kuya Gio of FABSLAI. Happy Birthday to both of you! I wish you all the best and don't forget to invite me if you're goin to throw a party! And congratulations sa pagiging regular! Way to go guys! Benz is so proud of you.

Turning Japanese

My appetite is on all-time-high! All I want to do right now is to eat, eat, and eat! No, I am not pregnant. (Gush! For the love of God! Lalake po ako) I just crave... FOR MEN! Kidding! Here is a rundown of my food escapade yesterday: skipped breakfast, had liver steak and steamed veggies for lunch, munched chicken Fillet sandwich (Original Recipe) with potato chips dipped in cream cheese, enjoyed a small bar of Cadburry mixed nuts later in the afternoon (thanks for the bar bro!), gobble on fish stir-fried with black beans and pepper for dinner together with maja blanca (check the spelling for me) for dessert and lastly enjoyed a few rolls of Carlifornia Maki from Tokyo Tokyo! Delish! Damn I love to eat.

Twenty eight – 4

I woke up to the noise of my alarm at 9h30. Just in time to catch the season finale of ROCKSTAR INXS. Mig Ayesa, a Filipino-Australian is one of the three rockstar finalist vying to be the next lead singer of the band INXS. The winner will be going on a world tour and will sing in the next album due on November. Too bad he lost in the first elimination where he sang Bohemian Rhapsody by Queens.

Spent the rest of the afternoon chatting, surfing and watching television. I felt so useless and incompetent!

Went out with friends to twenty eight-4 to have dinner. Had sizzling pusit and sisig with two bottles of Cali. Perfect combination! I hate the live band though, the singers are pitchy and the song selections are old. We requested Separated by USHER twice to no avail. All they did was make pa-cute sa audience. Makes me wanna throw my empty Cali bottle to the singers! I will feel much better that way. War freak!

Webbands

I am sure you guys are familiar with the wristbands everyone is wearing nowadays in different shades of color and inscription in it. People sport those bands to support and promote a certain cause. With the same idea the Webbands was created and can now be placed in you site to wear. I firmly believe that everyone must be given equal treatment regardless of gender, religion or race so I decided to put one on my site from Openmind.com. Aside from spreading awareness I find it fashionable since you have the option to choose designed bands with different colors and messages. Awesome! I chose to have random bands since I support all the causes they have: Fight cancer, stop hate, embrace diversity etc. You can have one for your site now just go here.

It is all in my head

Mr. CG is still all over my head for five days now. (In relation to my entry dated Sept 16) It keeps on coming all over and over again and I can't stand it! I guess I need to finish some business with him. So being a super me, I took some action. I bravely send off an SMS asking manager to forward me MR. CG’s mobile number (just did it a few minutes ago). He replied back telling me he still needs to ask permission. What the f*ck? I mean, does he have to do that? This is the end; there is no way now that I can get his number. I will give him an ultimatum. If I don’t receive any news from him until tomorrow evening then that’s it, I have to and need to flush him out of my system: One down, more to go! I can still find someone way better than him. He is just a speck of dust! Huh! It’s a huge waste of time and energy thinking about Mr. CG. But all this talking and ranting doesn’t give any relief. I am still feeling heavy and sorry for myself. Self-pity is not in my vocabulary! Badly need to eat comfort foods (mocha frap together with choco vanilla curls and mocha wip! Ahh!) to compensate for what happened. It would benefit me since I want to put on some weights coz I’m so slim like a broom stick. Oh well another lesson learned: Never expect and never assume coz there are things that are not what they seems to be. I hate life from time to time… I have to… no choice.

Did you know?

The word "sex" was coined in the year 1382.
(Just curious… what’s the term before that? Any idea? Hmmm…)

Random thoughts

I am literally on the verge of blowing my mind out. Finding a good job is not easy as it seems to be. It's just so fucking hard. I know my worth and I am not hunting for a job just to have one. So anyone out there interested in hiring me? I have lots of experience... Awww!

Smooth ride

Here is a pic of the new North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) during our recent trip to Bulacan. I was surprised how expensive the toll fee is but once you enter the expressway you�ll know it�s worth it. No bumps throughout the trip. Nice!

Delish!

Just got myself a copy of Cosmo mag September issue including the ten hottest centerfolds and 69 bachelors! Yummy!

Joyeux Anniversaire!

Had a blast celebrating Uncle Joe�s birthday last night. He just turned 78. Way to go! Anyway, the best part was me being setup with this Chinese guy by a common friend of UJ. He is mature (non-negotiable requirement for me), average but presentable, short but well proportioned and big time rich! Disappointed that nothing materialize with all the flirting, not that I am expecting, maybe just a little. But he agreed to meet some other day (That�s his idea by the way) but how? We�re not even able to exchange numbers! Bummer! Anyway, got wasted for having red wine and champagne all night and I avoided beer take note. Hit the sack at around 2:30. Anyhow, just enjoy life �coz it�s not forever. Cheers!

Prologue

At this very moment I am still coaxing myself if I am going to put up a blog site. But just to satisfy a request from a dear friend (IPE) I am giving it a shot. I had websites and online journals before but I suck big time updating and maintaining them. I run out of ideas most of the time and I don’t know how to organize my thoughts so I’ll just take things from here and see how far can I go. Wish me luck!
