Blah day

Three consecutive days of going to Makati in hopes of landing a legal assistant job ends with nothing. Nada. Zilch.

Can't believe the five of us applicants--all law graduates and under-bar (including a classmate)--have been misled by a noted law firm (or was it the company that called us?), which just needed a secretary. Not even a legal secretary. Can't believe I told them that I was willing to compromise and give it a shot. Where was my dignity?

Not that I do not want the job (but well, I kinda not want it anymore, considering everything), I just waited too long for an opportunity, a shot, a sign, that I could still make it. I was already desperate, I think. And I got this.

Life is so unfair, sometimes.

Now I have until the end of the week to prepare for next week's job application. Let's hope that one goes well or else I'll bust.

UPDATE: I am calmed down a bit. But I won't delete this entry. Just edited a bit in order to neutralize.

MORE UPDATE: I have a job! Well, it's not really that fancy, but decent enough. Sweet revenge. Mwahahahaha.

FURTHER UPDATE: I PASSED THE BAR!!! Woo-hoo! Should I delete this humbling entry now? No way!

Only in G3

While I was passing by the Greenbelt chapel this morning, I took shots of two of its regular churchgoers from my cameraphone.





What a beauty.

Yummy Treats (part 3)

I love fast-food sundaes. On my fave flavor, of couse!


Another slice of Banoffee pie, anyone?

Work again?!? Hope so...

I was called up for an interview by two companies yesterday.

One from a recruitment firm in Makati, for the position of legal assistant.

The other one from a noted publishing company in QC, for the position of case digest writer.

Not bad at the start of the year.

Hope I get either one, although I definitely know which job I like more and which location I prefer more.

Leaving Christmas behind

Before the holiday season ends I would like to post my favorite decor in the house. And no, it's not Mama's homemade parol (although it's also a keeper).


I hope this Santa will grace our home for many Christmases to come.

Starlite!

Remember Rainbow Brite's horse?

Well, this fellow revived those oh, so wonderful childhood memories. The name is Starlite, and I believe this, along with a miniature Rainbow Brite doll (which I couldn't find right now), was purchased in US. I even had Shy Violet!

This one, along with many toys of my past, will go to a young girl who I am sure, would love to play with it all day long. I hope she enjoys this as much as I did in my younger years. Lucky!

Happy 2008!!!

2008 in a few...

It's been generally a SAD year for me. But there are some happy-happy joy-joy and fun, fun, fun moments. Like I've seen my father a few months ago after so many years (almost 2 decades!). Or that I'm having the longest, although "forced" vacation. Or that I'm meeting new, interesting and inspiring people (they don't really know who they are). Life has NOT been kind to me these days. But then, I still have my family (the remains of it), a few chosen friends (i knew who my real friends are), and my sanity (a miracle!) to go by, and at least be thankful for. When there's life, there's hope, right? That's what I am going to do in 2008. To still hope to make it. Because I can.

Here's How My Christmas Went

1. My bro Mitch and I went to Auntie's Beth place and feasted on left-over spaghetti, which we already ate yesterday (along with lamb chops and salad).

2. Auntie Beth, my cousin Sonny, Mitch, and I went to Eastwood and watched Enteng Kabisote (haha). While killing time, we took some pics of Santa, etc. on display.


with Auntie Beth


with Mitch and Sonny, after much coaxing

3. Feasted on KFC and filled out Auntie's Starbucks card with the Christmas drinks. Nakalibre kami ng Toffee Nut Frappuccino, which I still have yet to consume.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas...

Merry Christmas!!!

From the bottom of my heart, I wish everyone a blessed and fun-filled Christmas. Forget all your troubles for a while (I will most definitely try) and take time to enjoy this special day with your loved ones.

Happy Birthday Jesus!!!

When it rains, it pours... Hard!!! (part 2)

For the first time in months, I am truly DEBT-FREE!!! Well, except for those which I'm not really obligated to pay but I'd like to but couldn't right now. A big sigh of relief. Now I can sleep more and hope for better things which needs a lot of prayers.

Better come up with a plan in 2008. Which is in a few days away.

When it rains, it pours... Hard!!!

I've been cash-strapped for a couple of months I was already worried how I could survive Christmas. But early blessings abound. I can go shop full-blast now. And leave some for rainy months, as always. Thanks Papa and bro! And Mama too for still giving me whenever I need some.

Next year I am going to look for a real job.

Yummy Treats

I am slowly giving in to temptation this coming holidays.


The Banoffee Pie is now my fave dessert from Red Ribbon. And I want more!


These Belgian chocolates from Marks and Spencer's are too gorgeous to eat. But it didn't stop me from sampling them one by one.


And of course, my fave Christmas Starbucks drink--the Toffee Nut Frappucino. Love, love, love!!!

What happened yesterday?

The DSL connection is soooooo sloooooowwwwwwwww.... It's bad enough that Mama "accidentally" had the lines cut, yesterday I can't check my mails after the PLDT guy had our connection fixed. Multiply is one of the few sites up and running. Did I miss out something? Was there an earthquake somewhere? Oh, well. I'm blogging again now. Which is good, right? Hmmph!

UPDATE: Systems all go!!! Yay!

Still Enchanted

I just watched the movie Enchanted.

Disney's latest offering is a combination of its past films with a twist of the New York life. It had the signature singing, storytelling, and of course, the predictable fairy-tale ending. Only that it's not a typical fairy-tale ending.

I basically watched it for the laughs. I lost it when Giselle (played by Amy Adams) started to sing in a New York park and people simply followed her around. Amy Adams is the one to watch for.

And there's Patrick Dempsey. It's nice to see him not wearing scrubs this time. He's still a dreamboat, even if he plays a divorce/d lawyer.

James Marsden who play Giselle's Prince Edward is simply hilarious. And Susan Sarandon as the stepmother was a class act.

It was a treat to see Idina Menzel, who I expected to sing. She did not. (OT: I also love her "Wicked" partner, Kristin Chenoweth.) Another bonus is that my American Idol Carrie Underwood sang the movie's theme song, "Ever After".

The only thing I didn't like was the climax of the movie, which looked a little G-rated for me. That's when I realize that I'm still watching a kids movie despite all its innovations. Oh well. Happy, happy, joy, joy...
