so i'm currently working as an intern at Globe Telecom, whose office is in Pioneer St Mandaluyong and it's been tough. Actually the work isn't so tough, but the commuting part is just hell. hahahahahaha. my daily routine goes something like this-- I wake up at 5:30 in the morning, at 6:30 i leave my house. my parents bring me to Tikling, where most people wait for an FX to ride to wherever they wish to go. then I'd ride an FX going to crossing, go down at megamall, then WALK all the way to the MRT SHAW station. that's not so far considering that the Shaw station is just infront of Shang, and Shang is just beside megamall. so that's okay. but i usually get there at 7+ in the morning and by that time it's already kinda hot..and i'm wearing corporate attire so i get all sweaty. so that sucks. but thats okay, atleast i get some kind of exercise in the morning. so when i get to shaw station, i have to climb a steep staircase before i can ride the train. so I ride the MRT and get all packed with the other passengers coz the MRT is soooooo small. I really hate it. but that's my only option. so i ride the train then go down at Boni Station (that's one station away from shaw, and is near pioneer already) and then walk all the way to Globe Telecom Plaza.
work is from 8am-5pm..I work for the Segments (or Marketing Dept--WOOT!) and the work's been really really fun so far. im really excited about it coz im already learning soooo much and i cant wait to learn more. the only thing that really sucks is the commuting part. i hate it! but anyway, atleast i get my morning exercise everyday.
so anyway, what has this got to do with the title of this entry? well, ever since i started working for Globe, I already thought of finding something else with which I can earn money from. Not because we don't have allowance in Globe (we do, and it's okay already. not as big as the other firms' allowance but it's still all good) but becuase I realized that it's about time I find opportunities to make money out of the things i love doing--two of which are surfing the internet and blogging. so there, allan gave me a link and I decided to try it out. I won't lose anything from it anyway!
so if you wanna find out more about it too, check this out: [this is completely legit ha? this is not a scam
and it works the same way as google does, when it earns out of its advertisers
today's a new day =)
Posted by amber_sparkles at 08:44 PM on April 2, 2007.
today was great, even if nothing extraordinary happened. i finally went to the gym after so many years of planning on going there. hahaha. i just didn't have the time. but i do now.
so to tell you more about how my day went, here's what i messaged allan. hehe.
hey, im assuming you're gonna be coming home late again tonight, and i might not be able to stay up coz i have to wake up at 5am tomorrow. while i was at the gym, someone from GLOBE called me up and asked if i wanted to apply as an intern. apparently, i belonged to the top 20% daw in our batch. goodnews for me, as i always thought i was somewhere in the lower end. or somewhere in the middle. but anyway, so im going there tomorrow since i got nothing up my sleeve this summer anyway. dickie hasn't called so i suppose theres a big chance that thing's off already. so im gonna try globe. its weird, really, coz those companies i didn't apply to are the ones calling me up and stuff. ahahah, weird. but anyway, im gonna give this a shot. but if it turns out like citibank, im out. hahaha.
so anyway, i hope you're enjoying your stay there. i'm starting to enjoy my days already. in the morning i watched around 4 episodes of prison break. it's really really exciting, that show. and the lead is so damn HOOOOTTT. sorry. hahah, you know how i am with the people i watch on shows, i have to have a crush so i can have motivation to actually watch it. but the plot is real real slick. it's sooo good. =) so im gonna watch some more tonight, after i do some revisions on my resume, because i have to bring one tomorrow. have to wear business attire too. so if i get accepted here, and if i like it, im gonna have to buy some more slacks, skirts and tops. oooh shopping time. i hope this turns out to be a good internship hunnie. i really want to have some experience this summer. =)
i'm excited. things are finally going on the right direction. anyway, it sucks coz i exercised sooooo much, 2hours ++. then when i got home, i was so hungry. so i kinda ate a lot. but its just rice and fish, nothing more in between like any kind of chocolate/junk. im just gonna get drunk with water now so i dont eat anymore. hahaha. so there, i just wanted to message you. i'll be up until around 11:00pm. until then you could message me. takecare okay? do update me when you can. and enjoy. love you. =)
this is madness!

madness...?
THIS IS SPARTA!!!
WHOOOHOOO. OMG i soooooooooo love 300! panalo yung mga ganitong movie for me. i swear. =) i love frank miller, this is my second favorite movie from a graphic novel he's written. somehow, his graphic novels really hit me hard.. they really have that extra oomph factor when shown on the big screen. i love love love love it. i was holding--well, more of squeezing-- allan's hand the whole time, and i always squeeze it extra hard everytime one of the hot spartans die. ohmy, ang ganda ng ABS nila. rock hard! woooohooo! and the queen was so sexy. my goal for this summer: work out as much as i can and be as sexy as her! KAYA YAN! i believe! hahahaha =)
so anyway, i had my history finals a while ago. i'm envisioning a B as a final grade...okay na yon. no C+ please. hay. this sem was really tough. lahat tapos na eh, except ung philo. my orals will be on thursday pa, and i could still get that A...
==========
anyway, there's much to say about what happened in the FINAL 4 competition. yeah, we got in. we got the highest grade in the batch during the actual marketing defense...we got a 3.833 average. but during the competition, we sucked. we could've done better. i know we could have, because we did very well during the actual presentation, thus the grade. basta, something happened kasi within the group. i guess we became too complacent and arrogant that we didn't want to practice anymore. actually, i wanted to practice. but someone didn't want the final 4 anymore. and so we ended up not practicing despite some of us reiterating that we practice. it's not entirely the person's fault of course, na natameme kami sa harap ni dean Ang, and that we kept on evading the questions asked, and that we didn't give a lively enough presentation... there were a lot of factors involved. i had a lot of internal issues, like not pushing hard enough to practice despite my fears,not re-reading the paper and preparing myself well, not drinking coffee before the presentation (coffee helps keep me alert, it really helps me) and being very nervous during the Q&A up to the point when i experienced a drying of my mouth...maraming factors. but it's not my fault din, coz i tried to answer as much questions as i can.. haay. sayang. i really wanted to win it. but maybe i didn't do enough din. and sometimes, it just doesn't help having someone in the team na mawalan na ng gana sa competition, just because the person's already content with having a 3.833. wala na daw kasi sha pakialam. well, just so you know, and i told this to you guys before the compet...that i have a different philosophy. i cared about this competition, and i know all of us, except you, wanted to win. and we didn't want to look stupid. but we looked stupid. and upto now, it still haunts me. i know i shouldn't be pissed off at you, but i can't help it. you were just too arrogant despite us stating our desire to practice and discuss more things...ayaw mo na kasi, kasi "wala ka nang pakialam" as you reiterated over and over again. my gosh. i guess i could never forgive you for your arrogance and complacency.
so okay fine, we didn't win. all the stuff i mentioned above happened already. wala nang magagawa. okay na diba? mejo natanggap ko na halfway na mejo talo na talaga kami and there's nothing we could do about it. we weren't able to defend well. pero sana naman, kung pwede lang sana, na yung winning team, hindi na kami i-mock. i mean, diba? can you not be humble nalang and siguro talk about the other teams and criticize them WHEN THEY ARE NOT AROUND? respeto lang, please. i heard terms like, "move over Al Gore" (we used Al Gore kasi in our presentation) as i exited the room, and Chris and Kim heard them say "Carbon Credits? What's that? We're better..blahblah" Not to mention, sinusulsulan pa ni mr.osi. but anyway, not everyone likes him anyway, so hayaan na naten si mr.loser. pero naman, yung winning team, please. wag naman sana mayabang mashado. sobrang bastos kasi. parang naghahanap talaga kayo ng away eh. Oo sige, sabihin na natin na magaling talaga kayo, magaling talaga ang pagka-defend nyo. kaya nga kayo nanalo diba? kasi magaling kayo. hindi naman namin kayo tina-trash, hindi namin dine-deny yung fact that you're good, hindi namin sinasabi na sinwerte lang kayo, na walang kwenta yung product nyo, and that our grade is far from your grade, at hindi naman kami nagiging bitter enough to say na we were better. because we admit it, nabara talaga kami ni sir ang. pero don't think naman that you're THAT GOOD para manglait ng ibang tao. kasi alam namin, na if ever hindi kayo nanalo, at natalo kayo, hindi namin gagawin sa inyo yun. becuase we know that you already feel bad enough. kasi pinaghirapan nyo yung marketing project nyo the whole sem. kami rin naman, we put much effort into this whole thing, something just happened before the competition. pero hindi nyo kami dapat i-judge.
what's worse, kilala pa namin kayo. as in i know all of your names, ka-org namin 3 sa inyo, yung other 2 naging classmate ko na. hindi ko kayo kilala as in close friends, pero still, that doesn't give you the right to criticize other people. maling mali talaga yun. lalo na na naririnig namin kayo.
but anyway, you chose to play the game that way... so let's just see what happens. if there's anything i really really really hate, it's arrogance. especially arrogance without basis. yes, you won, everyone loved you, but what you did was just low.
i know this is really stupid

to whom it may concern:
sorry, pasensha na. alam ko since nalaman ko about it super kulit ko na. i mean, fine sige. kahapon ko lang pala nalaman. kasi kahapon ka lang din nagdecide. pero since kahapon binibilang ko na yung araw bago ka umalis and ayon. hindi ko maiwasan. sorry, ang kulit kulit ko. hindi kasi ako sanay eh. ewan. i know you're gonna have a great time there, and alam ko one month lang naman ikaw mawawala, and i'm so pathetic and so clingy... tapos same time zone naman ang pinas sa china, pero kahit na ganun, alam naman naten pareho na i can't spend the whole day in front of the computer especially with sir dickie's business proposal for april and you shempre you're gonna be touring but.... wala lang, gusto ko lang sabihin na mamimiss kita ng sobra. =) alam ko babalik ka naman pero shempre, hindi mo naman maiwasan na mamiss yung tao eh. iba rin kasi pag kunwari, gustong gusto na kita talaga makausap tapos wala ka, so parang, okay, panu ko sasabihin sayo. jologs kasi email. parang walang emotion. kaya ayon, chat nalang. =)
so while you're away, i'm gonna keep myself busy by of course, number1, priority to! partying with the block, mika, and my barkada... and probably drink drink drink (dahil angtagal ko na hindi umiinom!!! tara na inuman na!) and ayon nga, get busy in sir dickie's office, hopefully. =) i really need to preoccupy myself para hindi kita maisip mashado. kasi mamimiss kita talaga =) and before i know it, april28 na tapos andito ka na! so ayon.
hay...have fun in your motherland kahit alam naman nating lahat na fake na fake ang pagka-chinese mo. hahahaha. i will miss you talaga. =) but i know you will have a great time. especially with michael and maam ibarra around. hindi na boring ang trip mo hahahah. =)
oh btw, I SO HEART BLAKE OF AMERICAN IDOL. TAE ang HOTTTTT nya for me. sobrang sexy nung song na kinanta nya this week. i swear! woooohooooo!!!! =) oh and sanjaya sucks. hahaha.
today i realized...
Posted by amber_sparkles at 01:39 AM on February 20, 2007.
a lot of things actually. like..
1) i miss my barkada.
2) i miss my blockmates.
3) i miss the people in strains, and im actually thinking of joining again next year...
4) i am in a way, lonely.
i miss all of these people and i really wish i could spend more time with them again. it's been a while kasi talaga. i hate marketing, opman, and finance. not because i don't understand them, but because it takes up all of my time, which should supposedly be alloted for other fun things. and it frustrates me... especially when there's a factor involved...basta. haaaaaaaaayyyy. me no like work.
i'd like to go out with my blockmates and barkada again, it's been a while. and im getting tired of work. allan is the only thing keeping me sane. but then again, i see him too often. we should spend some time apart to make things a little bit more exciting. but that is too impossible, coz we're classmates in almost every subject. well maybe i should hide from him? hahahah. =) joke. i mean, sabi nga sa song ng azyet.. "Everybody needs a little time away.... even lovers need a holiday...far away from each other..." shempre ang purpose nyan ay para gawing exciting ang relationship. mananzan calls it creative distance.
i need a change of scene. a change of attitude towards things... i need to get away for a while. maybe an out of town trip would help. i'm feeling a bit suffocated with work and some people kasi.. or even a night of drinking...that would help. if only i had time. damn. what ever convinced me to get into management? the thought of earning money, perhaps. but i love management...i love what we study and what we do in class. it's just tiring. and maybe it's all happening while im in the wrong frame of mind. oh what the hell. a change of scene. that's all i need to get me back on track. the SSEAYP idea isn't so bad.
