Job hunting (again) na nagmistulang catering service

Nag-daan ako sa isang episode. Hindi ako masaya sa ginagawa ko. Hindi walang kwenta ang trabaho ko, at may kinalaman naman ito sa pinag-graduatan kong kurso. Hindi lang talaga ako masaya dahil hindi talaga naman yun ang gusto kong gawin.

At madali din naman ako naka-move on. Umpisa palang naman, nung pumirma ako ng kontrata, sinabi ko na sa sarili ko na kukuha lang ako ng experience sa pagtatrabahuhan ko. Kaya ngayon, nang nayaya ako ni Janela na mag-pasa ng resume sa GMA at ABS-CBN, hindi ako nag-dalawang isip na sumama.

Anyway, mag-eexpire na ang kontrata ko sa Friday at hindi ako sure kung i-rerenew ako (actually, parang irerenew ako kasi nasa list of employees for June ako).

Hindi naman lingid sa kaalaman ng mga kaibigan ko at ilang malalapit sa akin na fan ako ng Daisy Siyete. Ano?! Walang basagan ng trip. Kilala ko lahat ng sexbomb girls.haha At pangarap kong maging writer duon. Kaya yun talaga ang goal ko simula pa nung last year ko sa college.heheh

Nung Monday, maaga ako nag-punta sa Starmall, kasi sa Mandaluyong manggagaling si Janela. Isang oras lang naman ako nag-hintay na duamting si Janela. Walang kainip-inip. Ang layo kasi ng pinanggalingan niya, Mandaluyong pa, ako Antipolo lang, walking distance (oo te, hindi pa tapos ang litanya ko sa pagka-late mo!)

May naihanda narin akong script pag nagkita na kami.

"At seven o' clock mo pa balak mag-kita tayo ha? Ang kapal ng mukha mo, nakakatingin ka pa! Hindi ako nag-dudrugs!"

Eh pagdating ni Janela, nakalimutan ko na yung script ko. Napili ko nalang tumawa.

Parehong pareho kami ng damit na suot--puti na blouse at black na pants. MUKHA KAMING MAG-CACATER SA KASAL.haha

At natawa ang tita ni Janela sa itsura namin.haha

Una naming pinintahan ang PDEA (uulitin ko, Hindi ako nag-dudrugs!). Meron daw kasing vacancy dun at nirefer ni Sir Arjay kay Janela ang trabahong yun.

At natawa ulit kami ni Janela. Hindi man lang kami pinansin ng guards. Bakit? Nalaman nalang namin yan nang pumasok na kami (kumuha parin kami ng visitor's id).

AY PARANG PAPASOK LANG PALA KAMI SA TRABAHO DUN. KATERNO NAMIN ANG UNIFORM NG MGA TAGA PDEA.hahaha

Siyempre si Janela, may baong sapatos, tanggal, suot, tanggal, suot.hehehe

Habang naglalakad kami papunta sa DDB, iniisip ni Janela,

Tapos tumawid kami papunta sa GMA. Kinita namin si Ate Jeng na nag-tatrabaho sa QTv. Nakipagkwentuhan, maraming nalaman. Sabi ni Janela, gusto daw niyang makita si Howie Severino. Magugulat ka ba kung sasabihin kong, a few minutes later, nakita nga namin siya, naka-vest.hehe kabog ang mga vest ni cha (nag-iinarte lang naman mga vest nun eh.hehe)

At nakita namin si Chynna Ortaleza. Ang puti. Nakakadisturb daw chucks niya sabi ni Janela. Super high cut kasi.hehe

Tapos nagpunta naman kami ng ABS-SBN. Ang layo ng narating ng resume namin...sa guard.hehe

may nakita kaming pila, sabi namin...sama kaya kami...sabihin namin sa catering service kami.hehe

Pila daw sa bingo nights yun. Muntik na kami makanuod ng Rufa and Ai. kUng hindi lang kami naubusan ng ticket.hehe Sabi ni Janela,
"Sabihin nalang natin, tayo yung pinadala ng catering service. malelate kasi kaya piandala tayo para mag-entertain.haha"

At ang haba na ng entry na ito at sobra na break ko sa trabaho.hehe

Anyway, masaya ang araw na yun. sana matanggap kami. Nag-apply din pala kami sa TAPE Inc. pero next time ko nalang ikukwento...baka masira ang system ng multiply sa sobrang haba ng storyang yun.
=)

Sana matanggap kami Lord.=)

Tears for the living
By Eunice Samson
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 00:06:00 02/24/2009

Filed Under: Family, Human Interest

As far as I can remember, four people close to me have died. I did not drop a tear for anyone of them. These people were my relatives: my father’s mother, Lola Milya; my father’s sister, Tiya Eda; my mother’s sister, Tita Flor; and my mother’s mother, Inang Pinang.

People call me a crybaby. A friend told me that I cry all the time — when I can’t breathe, when I had a bad dream, when I miss my family, when I get disappointed. But I just seem unable to cry over the death of my loved ones.

Some people tried to explain this by saying that maybe I have not experienced losing someone I really loved. This is not true. I know that I loved the people I lost as much and I am afraid to lose the people I love now.

Of course death is inevitable, but living — you just have to deal with it every day.

During Lola Milya’s last summer, she stayed with our family. I was the one left at home to take care of her, although my niece came over every day to help.

One morning, Lola Milya had an upset stomach and soiled her diaper. My niece was not around, so I knew I had to change it. I do not know why, but I cried.

My grandmother looked at me with tears welling in her eyes and said everything was going to be OK. And I realized then how much I loved her. At the tender age of 9, I was willing to suffer for my lola.

When my Tiya Eda died, I was preparing to go to college in Baguio. But I had my first real cry — you know, the cry you make when you feel so very hopeless — during the weeks preceding my departure. I could not imagine living away from my family. I wondered if I would miss my Tiya Eda as much as I would miss my parents when I was away from home. Then I thought, “Maybe Tiya Eda would still be able to watch me closely, unlike my parents.”

Tita Flor died in a foreign country where she had gone to work. Among all my aunts, she was my favorite. And my mother was not very good at delivering the bad news. She woke me up and said Tita Flor had an aneurysm and died. As simple as that. So I went back to sleep in disbelief.

Later I cried when my cousin went to our house and embraced my mother tightly and burst into tears. He was saying, “I should have asked her to come home. Now I miss her badly.” He wanted to travel back in time and bring Tita Flor home, not in the way that he envisioned he would do for her that moment — lifeless and mere dust in an urn.

When Inang Pinang died, we were in the middle of a financial crisis. My parents were spending large amounts of money for my academic requirements, my sister had not received her salary yet, and my other aunt had lost all her money in a failed investment. I knew then that I would not be able to go home: my parents just did not have the money to spare for my bus fare. In fact, my mother had to borrow from people she knew just so Inang Pinang could be buried.

I did not cry. I told my friends that my Inang had died and they asked if I was fine. I told them yes, with a smile on my lips. Deep inside I was feeling sad, but I also thought that at least my grandmother was doing far better up there than we were down here.

This week, my close friend lost her uncle. I saw her a few minutes before she went home. I did not have the chance to talk to her because we were having a conference and I had to leave early. I knew she was sad. Another friend who stayed with her told me that she did not stop crying until they parted. But I could not sympathize with her because I had never met her uncle.

I cried when I learned that my young cousins would not be able to go to school because their mother lost all her money in a deal that went bad. I cried when my sister complained that she was not happy in her job and that there must be a better place for her somewhere else. I cried when I realized that a person I cared tremendously for didn’t care for me at all. I cry over almost anything depressing known to man, except for the deaths of my loved ones.

Most people would say that there is no pain worse than the loss of a loved one. But I would rather cry for the living than for the dead.

That was when I started crying for my friend who had lost her uncle. I realized that she had to cry for her dead although I did not have to do the same for mine. I realized that I did not have to deal with the deaths of my loved ones, in a very tearful manner like her. I mean, there is no point in crying for people who are experiencing bliss. What is there to cry about when they are happy and enjoying peace? Through the tearful prayers my family shared, I believe that the people whom I lost found salvation when they were still on earth and knew perfectly where they would spend eternity after death.

I would rather keep crying for my loved ones in prayer until they experience the perfect assurance of blissful eternity after death while they are alive than cry for the rest of my life regretting that I did not make that choice.

I felt sorry for my friend who had lost her uncle and I wished she would make the same choice that I keep making.

Death is inevitable and it comes but once. But life — you have to deal with it every day.

yearbook testimonials.

sobrang na-touch ako sa mga pinagsasabi nila kaya...magpapaburger ako!!!hehehe

seriously, hindi na ako makahintay na i-share sa lahat kung gaano ako ka-blessed na may mga kaibigan akong katulad nila...pasensya na pala...medyo may na-edit ako sa actual na pinasa ko.=)

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and not faint.”

                                     Isaiah 40:31(KJV)

 

 

Eunice…henya ka talaga!

                                                  Alexis, (one of my closest friends since grade school...nakakatuwa kasi naalala niya na feeling henya ako noong bata ako...at least hindi niya sinabi na ako ang tunay na "emo", "psycho" at kung anu-ano pa...hehehe)

 

She can’t keep a secret even to save her life (hahaha). But seriously, Washu is a really good friend and I trust her with my life (I would pray that she doesn’t get me killed…if ever.) haha -Gracey(blocmate, CAC2, 05...sa bloc namin, siya ang nakatolerate sa kakulitan at kaweirdohan ko...hehehe friends ko din naman yung iba, pero si Grace ang kaklose ko talaga.=))

 

Kala ko mejo makwento, kala ko mejo matino, kala ko okay lang na friend…di pala…

Sobrang daldal, sobrnag kulet at sobrang isa sa mga super friends na meron ako. Panalo ‘to, c Washu.

                                                    -Ina(noong sophomore naging ka-close ko si Ina, kasi magkalapit kami ng bahay kaya lahat ng ginagawa namin, magkasama kami...kapag bumababa ako ng Antipolo...i see to it na nagkikita kami...marami ako'ng nashare na moments sa kaniya.)

 

…almost perfect…            -Te Lai(ngayon ko napatunayan na ibang iba pala ang image ko sa bahay...hahaha si Ate Lai ang kabahay na pinapngarap ng lahat...sobrang mahal na mahal ko siya dahil alam kong ganun din siya sa akin.=)

 

 

For the past few months, I’ve been hoping to bump into Eunice everyday. Truth is, I’m a big fan of her comic antics and her undeniably happy, perky, colorful disposition in life. To say that she amazes me is an understatement. Although her endearing, childlike ways sometimes betray her wisdom that is beyond her years, one has to only experience the gift that Eunice possesses in order to realize that she could be one of your favorite people on earth. What’s her gift? It’s actually her ability to be a chameleon: from my being easygoing student, she had been a very sensitive housemate, a loyal friend, and an overly caring sister to me. She’s one of my favorite people on earth, how can I complain?

                                             -Sir Amor(hindi talaga ako comfortable na tawagin siya sa kaniyang first name...hahaha may isa din akong tawag sa kaniya..."Kuya Sir" noong magkabahay pa kasi kami, sabi niya sa akin..."Kuya nalang ang itawag mo sa akin." eh uneasy parin ako, kasi...duh! instructor ko kaya siya!!! hehehe kahit may mga moments na hindi maganda between us...alam kong most of the time na maaalala ko tungkol sa kaniya, magaganda...hehehe kasi sobrang bait niya...pramis...subukan niyo siyang kaibiganin.=)

 

Eunice ang pangalan niya sa cellphone ko. E sa simula at E sa dulo. Isang malaking E! Tulad ng lagi niyang reaksyon, “Eeeee, ayaw ko sabihin, pero ganito kasi yun, secret lang natin to ah”, o kaya “Eeee, sa Gobi na lang kasi”. Ganyan siya, hindi mo pa siya pinipilit pero sasabihin na niya, dahil hindi mo na kailangang pilitin ang isang Washu para lang tumulong at magbigay (pwera lang sa kasuy). Huli man lagi ang “subtitle” niya, kakaiba man ang lengguahe ng utak niya pero hindi mo naman mabubuo ang salitang extraordinary, eccentric at exceptional kung wala ang isang malaking E!

-Janela(bale si Pipay ang nagrepresent sa Pepe Squad...Cha, Jeraine...hindi ko alam kung ano'ng itsura ng college life ko kung wala sila...pramis...siguro walang laman ang multiply ko...hehehe ayokong magsabi pa nang marami...kasi...nadiyadiyahe ako...heheheh siguro sa graduation na...lam niyo naman na cryer ako...nyaks!)

 

Sana’y sayong pagtatapos magkaroon ka ng masaganang buhay. Dahil yan lang ang hangad naming pamilya mo. Drama ba? Pero totoo yan. Huwag mong sabihing hindi magiging maganda ang bukas. Isipin mo ham yan. Masarap. Malasa.=D

                                 -Ate Noemi (kahit parang hindi testimonial ang ginawa ng kapatid ko kung hindi message...nacapture naman niya ang buong pagkatao ko...hay...oo, mahilig po akong kumain...at oo, pessimistic ako most of the time...pero family ko lang talaga ang pinaka nagbibigay ng hope sa akin...laging nga nilang sinasabi na "Maswerte ka, kasi Si God ang sentro ng pamilyang ito." anyway, ayun...sila ang main disciplers ko sa aking spiritual life, kaya I'm continually growing. =)
