RECENT EXPERIENCES

Yesterday...
Last week I posted my resume over the internet and was applying for a call center agent or technical support representative. Two days after, the company texted me to be at their office for an interview. So, I was their yesterday. The interview schedule was 10:00 AM and I arrived their 9:50, that was perfect. First, we took four parts exams and I passed. It was followed by the interview proper where you and the HR talk. He asked to tell more about myself. I was nervous that I wasn't able to talk instantly. I started describing myself in calm voice. I don't have any background about applying for such position and I haven't ask someone who underwent the same process. He said, "No go" for now. I have thought about asking what does it mean but I did not maybe he might think that I am stupid that I couldn't understand. Well, that was frustrating. I have exerted effort, money and time for nothing. But I have thought that life is sometimes like that. Do I  have to try again? I think so, but another company. Some people said that we could learn from our experiences and that is always true. Learning always comes from nothing.

Today...
Just this morning, our school is celebrating the "65th Foundation of the School" and different activities, competitions are being implemented. One of the competitions was "Computer Hardware Assembly". I was confident to attend the competition. In fact, I am doing that for almost 3 years and therefore it's not hard for me. It was fun, they're giving Php300 for the first placer, Php200 for second placer and 100 for third placer. I only got the second place. I was having fun with it. That's the one of the ways to build your competent in front of the people. Why not try while you have the skill?

Huh.... experiences.. :)

SCHOOL UPDATES

Schooling is going on. It is always a good thing to learn new things. The months I've spent of not doing anything on my blog made me think of missing it again. There many things I've learned from school not just academically but socially also. I've learned to go with other other people, friends and classmates. I used to quote "social interactions is very important to an individual" from our Psychology instructor last two years. The more I get involved with others the more chances that social relationships will be built. It's totally different last three years where I lived alone. Although I could talk my friends online but hanging out with friends has a different impact than being online.

So, go back about school...
I hate the Math subject still, but I started to overcome the pessimist character. I believe that I can do it, it just a matter of time. I used to blame that I don't have enough time for studying, which is true because, still, I have work during the day and school at night. There were some lessons in Math on high school that is still related to our present lessons today and I haven't learn if from high school. This is one of the reason that I can't absorb the lessons easily. In fact, I got low grades last mid term exam but I passed. Sometimes I have thought about quitting school and get a job somewhere but I need to finish at least 2 years in college. So, if I want to get a good job, I may get that next year. These are the options in my mind:
1. quit school and get a job
2. continue school and just wait another year
3. go to Manila and stay at my uncle, probably continue my studies

I really don't know yet but as of now I am doing the 2nd option. The contract of lease of the company where I am working will end this March 2010. Sell everything or transfer to other place are the options. This could affect my schooling because my financial support is dependent on the company. I hope I'll be at the company still until I finish my 2nd year in college. Well, time will change, ideas and thoughts of the people change. I could just used the living for today and minimize the long list for the future.

Just for today.
