May this blog serve as a reminder to the NeoNix of the Pisay and Ateneo, in hopes that lessons may be learned from her (mis)adventures.

...let's do da chicken pox dance!

I apologize, my friends... I realize na matagaltagal na rin since my last blog update. Eh kasi naman, ngayon ko lang natikman ang FREEDOM OF COMPUTERING [if there is such a thing...]. Medyo na shock ako na SUMMER na [at karamihan sa inyo ay hindi ko na makita sa college :((] and so nag babad ako sa manga, sa anime, sa 91ers.com [ui visit niyo naman para hindi mamatay ang site..], sa YM, at sa aking "summer job"?

I just had my Singapore Interview last April 24. It was... scary. I was scheduled to be interviewed @ 5pm... so I was the last one there. I only met Wayne when he was heading out of Marco Polo! And so I was forced to wait there in the lobby... with Anna for company... and that Pisay photographer guy [yes, we saw him. don't ask.]

April 24 is exactly a week after my chickenpox blisters came out. And chicken pox takes a week [give or take a few days] for it to heal. Waaah. I almost canceled the interview... for fear that my interviewers might be sprouting blisters the very next day [thus effectively marooning them here in the Philippines]

My english wasn't very good [thanks to my four year stay in Pisay and a certain John S*..] and so I wasn't exactly confident when I entered the room. They asked me stuff about academics... my family... etc.. etc.. etc.. The KILLER question was the CURRENT EVENTS one... Gah... I really need to start watching the news...

I shook both their hands on my way out, and met Anna in the lobby. Nag explore kami sa Marco Polo. And... well, what do you know, nakasabay ko ang isang interviewer ko sa elevator!

"Hello." -singaporean

"Hi!" [high pitched squeak] -me

"...friend mo na siya??" -Anna

LOL.

We [Anna and I] explored for around 30 minutes... Yes, we went up to the 18th floor.. ahh... how relaxing...

what WASN'T relaxing was the fact that I am a member of the registration team for the 14th (er.. I THINK it was the 14th..) Mindanao State Convention for the Knights of Columbus the very next day. T_T

But that's for another blog entry. :D

wow, your interview was on my bday.. mas mabuti nga na nagka-chicken pox ka na dahil mas mahirap daw kung matanda ka na nagka-chicken pox. be grateful na lang at bata ka pa.. mawala pa ang scars, eventually
