100-Day Photo Challenge: 3rd Day

A picture of the cast from your favorite show

I love One Tree Hill. I love NaLey.

I actually love the whole, original cast, but NALEY got my heart. I cried when they broke apart, I was happy when they got married, and I was joyful when they have their son.

They got to be the sweetest couple I have seen.

100-Day Photo Challenge: 2nd Day

A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest.

My parents.

Even though I am not very open to them about certain things in my life, I feel that they are the persons that I am closest with. Life for us has been a roller coaster ride but still, they managed to be such great parents to me. They'll forever be my best friends and I know that they'll always be there for me no matter what.

100-Day Photo Challenge: 1st Day

I was inspired by this challenge I saw on Facebook. I might as well try to do it, and see if I can.

A picture of yourself with fifteen facts.

1. I am in love.

2. I have a closet full of clothes but still, am not satisfied with it. I want more.

3. My greatest dream is to travel around the world.

4. Oversized polo/shirt, for me, is very sexy.

5. I would love to wear nice heels everyday but I can't since I commute going to the office.

6. I love my family. Truly, though sometimes it does not show.

7. I prefer calling than texting. Too lazy to text.

8. I love One Tree Hill.

9. For me, Sims (1,2 or 3) is the best game in the world. I could play it over and over again.

10. I enjoy family gatherings.

11. I look forward to getting married and waking up every morning with the one I love.

12. Sometimes, I worry too much.

13. Someday, I would like to buy my parents a house.

14. I am very impatient. I don't like waiting.

15. My life is in pretty good condition right now.

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nang mapuno ako. Let go of the BV.

Well, well, well. Thanks for making my day. This is BULLSHIT! YOU ARE BULLSHIT! AND VERY STUPID. How come you are in that position? People doesn't know the real you. I hope you go to HELL, where you perfectly belong. Thought this would be easy, but then as days go by, you are making our lives MISERABLE. Can't you see? Sabagay, pano mo naman mapapansin yun eh sobrang selfish mo. You only care about yourself. Your 'thank yous' doesn't matter at all. Lahat pakitang tao.

And you know what, even though you have that title attached to your name, I think I'm smarter than you big time. Malay ko bang you're so stupid enough para hindi alamin kung pano tawagan ung mga taong dapat kinakausap mo. WTH?! And you expect us to act properly? Why don't you serve as a good example to us? But how will I forget that you are who you are. You'll never change. You'll always be the selfish bitch that you are now. HAHAHA. I pity you actually.

Thank you for teaching us how to be strong. And patient. Most especially, thank you for making our lives so fed-up and at the same time, a living hell. You're the best. You must know that.

BTW, thanks ha.

LAST.

2 o'clock PM, 18 FEB 2011

This day doesn't end yet but I'm here, writing my last journal entry to be able to submit my practicum report. I'm quite thrilled to finish it and pass, so here I am.

TGIF again! We doesn't have much to do today. A relax time for all of us. Plus... our boss isn't here. She's attending an exhibit outside the University, so we're free. A little. Haha. Segway lang, Trixie is planning to have an under time at this moment. Though she's still deciding whether or not she'll go undertime,a major part of her wants to go home early. I think it's okay since she has already rendered enough service at this office. 1 hour under time isn't an issue.

We did media monitoring in the morning. For me, it's kinda boring, but we have to do it. There's no choice. Anyway, an hour before 12, Kuya Rom had to go to SMX with Ma'am so we acted as tour guide for the students of Aklan State University as substitutes. Brought them to the Museum then to the QuattroMondial. Quite fast since Kuya Rom has already brought them in the Educ Bldg which was first in their itinerary. Then that's it. Afternoon was another free time. A little. :)

6.15 PM

**We did went home an hour earlier than the usual. Since there's not much to do, they allowed us. Good thing it's Friday. Hoping for a HAPPY weekend. :):):)

Almost there.

USTv? Check. Yehey. It's done. One more big event to go. The Q Fashion Show on the 24th. At least tonight, I'll have something to write about. We did some media monitoring this morning. There's too many newspapers to check, but actually, some were already checked by Trix yesterday. We were like.. "Okay. Think we're stupid?" Our theory was that, they don't have something for us to do so they're thinking of tasks to assign to us. Anyway, We didn't finish the newspapers (Thank God!) instead, We were called back in the office to do some works. First was the seat labels for today's event. Next was the Media ID's. Then lastly was going with the usherettes in the entrance area.

Saw some artists today, of course. Coco Martin is oh soo handsome pala. Never did I saw him as that handsome. But that perception of mine towards him ends tonight. He's really gwapo. However... he's not that tall. Anyway it doesn't matter. :) Also saw Nikki Gil personally and goodness, she's gorgeous, really. I wasn't able to recognize her immediately, but when somebody called her name, I was like "Oh gosh, si Nikki Gil". Because you really won't recognize him agad. Looks more beautiful than in TV. Wow. There's also Boy Abunda, Kim Atienza, Jessica Soho, Ted Failon, and etc. Ginger was also there. So tall. Like her shoes, by the way. HAHA. :)

Just one thing. I think our office should also be called LMO. Know why? It's 'cause during events, there also be something that needs to be done at the last minute. They love cramming, I supposed. HAHA. Just kidding. LMO = Last Minute Office. :)

Anyway, I had overtime today so I will be able to finish my practicum earlier than expected. I hope. Quite excited for this summer.
I don't have any meaningful thoughts today. Trix and I are really getting along well. She's my one, true friend. Seriously, no joke. Because with her, I can really tell everything. Whatever it is. Without being ashamed. She's really my confidante. One of the persons I trust most next to my boyfriend. I might not be able to tell her, but I really do appreciate her being around. Hope our friendship will last.

GLOOMY?

Here I am again. Blogging. Journal.

Went to office at 12nn today. Had to go somewhere else in the morning. We had visitors again. They're from Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University in Ilocos. Fourth year college students major in elementary education. They had a good time, and us as well. It was nice because they're all listening to you when you talk. Not like other people. They also gave us little tokens of appreciation, FOOD. And gosh, they're great. Cornicks are great. :) After that, back in the office. Continued my practicum report. Then went home.

Hmm. It's really hard to write something when you have nothing to write. Life in the office is a routine. Same everyday. Not unless, there's an event. Tomorrow for sure, I'll have many things to write about. It's USTv Students' Choice Awards. There will be so many media for sure. We're gonna get busy. Wish that everything will go well.

That's for now I think. More stories tomorrow. Ciao. (Isn't it obvious that it's boring in the office? I have no stories to write about.)

CHILL.

CHILL. That's how I would describe this day in the office. Barely nothing to do again. I just faxed some invites to the media asking them if they can cover the USTv Students' Choice Awards on Thurs. But it was around 3.30 na. Before that, we were doing nothing. Its not that I don't like it this way, but its getting kind of boring, doing nothing. Me, personally, I was just checking my email again and again, and looking for possible jobs in the future. Hehe. It was really a chill time. :)

Nothing much to say today, actually. Tomorrow we have a tour in the afternoon. Then day after that, it's USTv. It is a big event so we'll be busy for sure. But for now, I'll just enjoy whatever free time I'm getting. At least, I could do my edit and finish my pract report. :)

By the way, I'm thinking of having a half day only tomorrow. I want to accompany my boyfriend to Amnesty International for an interview. Hope his designs would be appreciated. *fingers crossed*

It's Hearts Day. LOVE.

Happy Hearts Day! Bawal ang bitter ngayon. :)) It's Valentine's Day so everyone is getting cheesier by the minute. So many flowers around, so many boys proposing to their girls, and so many girls enjoying the attention that they were given. Well, hope everyone is happy and spreading the beauty of love. That's, what I think is the significance of this day. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. :)

Hmm. What did I do today? Barely nothing. Just made some tokens in the morning, answered calls the whole day, and that's just it.No big events still so we are kind of, free. Free from everything. HAHAHA. Oops. I just remembered that we had a tour in the afternoon. It was quite funny because when the guard called in the office to informed us that the students were already here, I kind of panic because no one was around at that moment, even Trix was out. So I called OFAD for the orientation, then I called Trixie. Then their supervisor came to our office to inform me personally re their arrival. I told him courteously to wait at the lobby because I will just prepare something. I thought it would be alright. When Trixie came back, we went outside immediately, then TADA! No one was in the lobby. We looked for them outside, at the Plaza Mayor, at the back, basically we searched the whole ground floor. We could not find them. When we talked to the guard, he told us that one Science student went to our guests and brought them upstairs for the Science week career orientation.

What the?! That was a different career orientation from what they are supposed to listen to. So what we did? We went upstairs and get back our visitors. Their supervisor thought that that was it. Maybe, because he was not not familiar with the University, he thought that that was where they're supposed to be. Too bad. But in the end, we were able to bring them to the right room where they were to have a career orientation organized by Sir Steve from OFAD. Good thing their supervisor is kind-hearted. :) Our visitors were from St. Mary's Angels College of Valenzuela, I forgot to mention.

All in all, this day was just chill. Stress-free still. Happy Valentine's Day again. :)

"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and it is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse. To trust. To hope. And to endure whatever comes."

OT

Okay. Here we go again.

Thank Goodness It's Saturday. Another 8-hour working day had passed. At least I had my overtime. Yehey. I'm now on my 455th something hours. 150 something to go and I'm done. Got to work, work, work. :) Anyway, we had to attend an event today. It was at 3pm. A program prepared by the Angeles University in Pampanga and the Confucius University. And also the Fujian Normal University in China. Hmm. It was kind of confucing. Anyhow, so we attended the event. I enjoyed it a lot, especially the exhibit. I really learned a lot of chinese words and I even memorized a Chinese sentence, which just means "What do you want to eat for noon?" Hehehe. Funny right? That was the very thing that I remembered. :) I also took a picture at the photo booth of theirs. All the gadgets are really high-tech.

In the morning before lunch time, I accompanied a photographer from Manila Bulletin as well. She wasn't that familiar in the campus so I had to go with her. Took pictures of the UST landmarks, and also a couple of shots of the students. Good thing she still had good shots even though there's lots of hindrances like the tents at the Plaza Mayor, the people, students and such.

Then right after lunch, I, together with Ate Micha, were able to meet some brothers and sisters from the Asia - Pacific Formation Center. They visited the University for a tour of the campus, the Museum and the Lumina Pandit. But due to time constraint, since they arrived quite late for their schedule, they were only able to visit the main building and the museum. They had to leave immediately because they're following their agenda for the day.

And that was it. That was how my Saturday went. Tiring because we were really runnign out of time, according to our boss. So you know, we have to move, move, move. One funny thing happened to me, I forgot to say. I had to quite carry the super heavy welcome board. I was asked to do so, and transfer it inside, so do I have the right not to follow? Good thing a miracle happened. Cannot believe this would happen again. Gusto kong kumanta ng IMPOSIBLE. HAHAHA. Actually it's an inside joke between me and Trixie. It migh sound weird to others who do not understand what it is like to work with our office. There's one important thing that you must learn how to do. MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE, POSSIBLE. Like bringing some heavy things to a specific place, ALONE. :):):)

Quite a GV Day.

Hello. It was another day today. I think it's not ThankGodIt'sFriday day because we have work tomorrow!! Can you believe it. It's a Saturday and we have to go to work. There'll be an event and we all need to be present. Too bad I cannot have the full Saturday as my rest day, though I'm quite glad because we'll have additional hours. And by additional hours, we mean earlier end of practicum. That's what we're waiting for!

This morning, we had two campus tour scheduled. One wass from Assumption Antipolo, the other one was from Jubilee Christian School. We need to be divided in half, so the one assigned to me was the Jubilee Christian, and I was with Ate Micha. Since the group was large, composed of 102 persons, it was divided into half. Group one was with Ate Micha, and the remaining one was to me. I must say, that the hardest part of being a tour guide, is to get the students/visitors to listen to you. Actually, older persons are easier to handle than those students who were in high school. They keep on taking pictures, never listening to the tour guide. So what I did? I just let them do what they want. They already visited the Museum and the Lumina Pandit, I guess what they learned from those places were enough. The duration of the tour is from 10-12 only. It was kind of tiring, though I didn't talked that much. Haha. Campus tours aren't that easy. Please teach me how to do it right.

Then after that, afternoon at the office was fine. Had the chance to almost finish my practicum report. Still have to include my journal until the 18th. And that's it. No b**ch mode today. Well there was. A little bit. But I'd rather no talk about it. Quite lame. And he really doesn't make any sense sometimes. Need to get his brain functioning. HAHAHA. I'm bad. I know.

Change will come at the right time.

A more meaningful journal day 2.
Hi. Here I am again, trying to make my last few journal entries significant.

Well today is just another ordinary day in the office. Though we were asked to make an itinerary, info kits, and guest book for the guests on Saturday, it was just again, the same thing that we do everyday. It was already a routine. Our work is more like a routine, I think. Once you get used to the office, the same things are done most of the time: you answer phone calls, do the front lining, listen to complaints of those who are looking for the Quadricentennial merchandises, and etc. Everyday is like that. In Tagalog, nakakasawa na talaga minsan. I mean, if my life would be like this in the future, it'll be crazy. People need change. I NEED CHANGE. But I guess, before I can get that change that I want, the days in my life would be like this until the first week of March. Must learn how to be patient and wait for the right time.
If a person is not really 100 percent into whatever he/she is doing, he won't be happy and won't be able to give his/her best shot at work. I'm not saying that I'm not happy with my present practicum site. Don't get me wrong. I'm still thankful that I was able to attend special events and met some of the staffs, especially Trix because she is one hell of a friend. :) It's just that, this is not really what I want. I get used to the work, but there's really something more that I would like to do and want to be. But still, I know that I will learn a lot from this experience. And in some way, this would make a difference in my life.

I don't know if there's something wrong with me, but this certain person really gets on my nerves at time, especially these past few days. It was the very same person I was talking about yesterday. He is really an attention - seeker, to the max. As in. He keeps on using me/us in his jokes all of the time to get noticed. If I know, whatever he's saying that we are, he's talking about his freaking self. HAHA. I know, I'm being such a b**ch. But what the heck, he's really irritating. It's like I'm in my stay-away-from-me face while I'm talking to it. Too bad he just wasn't able to get it.

Anyhow, Trix and I went to the job fair as well. Passed my CVs at SMART, goKUMON, and NESTLE. Will I get the chance on those companies? Well, hopefully I will.

This is my day. Hope it makes sense.

It will all be over.. soon.

Hello. I'm planning to make the last few entries of my daily Journal for my practicum report more meaningful. So, I'm trying to do my best and use my writing powers...

Hmm. What did we do today at the office? Well, just the usual. We answered phone calls, did the front lining, did whatever it is that they asked us to do. I think that's all. Anyway, today is a little bit different because our ordered us to do a Campus Tour script and a guest book for the visitors. Seriously, is there a need for a campus tour script this time, when we have already conducted several tours without using any script? Well, another side comment coming from me, but it's just on my mind. I can't say it out loud. Risky. :) Anyway, we did it. It turned out long, I guess. Three full pages. We can still use it as a guide though. There's still several campus tours scheduled this month.
Then we did the guest book. Used our own creativity with it. *BTW, when I say ''we'', it's Trixie and I.*So we created something. Presented it to her, the guest book design was rejected, and the campus tour was, okay. Guess we have to figure out what design would she want in a guest book.

Whenever we have free time, we maximize it. How? We do our practicum reports. We're getting closer to the end actually. It was nice seeing my report getting complete. T'was a relief. Yey.

In the afternoon, there was a campus tour scheduled. The students were from Small World Christian School in Baguio. 3rd year students. I volunteered to the one in-charge, but then when they arrived, I realized that he doesn't need me anymore. He can do the tour alone. He even said that he can handle it himself, yesterday.

Well, I think that's it. One thing I just want to share... that sometimes, you just can't stand someone for some reasons. Maybe it's because they are an attention seeker? I just don't like persons like that. If you want somebody to notice you and get their full attention, go on. Just please don't use me to get what you want. Well, what the heck? Does it matter? He'll do it over and over again. It's him. It's his personality.
I pity him actually.

Quite angry? No, I'm not. I'm just in my please-don't-talk-to-me-cause-I-really-can't-stand-you mood at that time. It'll pass.

We are also evaluated today. Said we did greatbut there's a 'but' in the end. We took whatever was said as a learning and try not to do it again. No matter what the grades given to us are, I think it's something that we deserved, in her eyes.

Something just comes up to my mind. You really cannot work successfully in a place or in a field that you do not 100% like. Giving your best is not enough. I mean, you have to be in a position where you're really happy and most of all, you love what you do. That's where success comes from.

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."
