mainly on ojt

last night was stressful for me having to prepare for two interviews- for citibank internship and ASES application- plus deciding whether to minor in finance or it.

next week's my last week working for bmw, which i have come to love. it isn't as stressful there although there could be lots of work to finish. it has given me more than the experience i expected to gain. fun-loving people and kalog! we should take pictures on monday. three or four of us- me, mai, toni and maam hannah. i just hope she'll be there. anyway, i might no longer be able to meet the bosses as ive intended to do since im leaving on monday morning (because i still have to fix some school stuff and proceed with the interview for ases [ill explain later]). doesnt matter. i honestly didnt expect for my stay at autohaus to be fun. like i told other people, i thought that id be bored to death there. that was right after my first day. however, eventually, i learned to like what i do, feeling more responsible now. and getting that taste of the real world after 4 weeks of working for them, that i was looking for. so yeah no regrets. although some of the stuff i did there were clerical, i dont care. it's all part of it. having to answer the phone and be the operator for as long as half a day, to photocopy stuff and everything else don't bug me anymore. no pay? so what? i liked it sooo much there that i even considered working there for like a week more or two. but there came that much awaited offer from citibank.

i was called yesterday and was asked to report to them supposedly that afternoon but since i had work, i told the person that i can only go today... i dont wanna give out a very detailed account so ill just tell the major things that happened. i went there to take that IQ test, which got me frustrated after finding out the result (45/48). honestly i thought i perfected it. now im thinking, what did i get wrong? oh well. doesnt matter. thats still a 93.xx% (no i didnt compute for it. i was just told by the person who interviewed me first. (i went through 2 interviews which went fine anyway). i was just thinking that getting that job after going through 2 interviews still wasnt as self-fulfilling as i wouldve wanted it to be. i didnt go through the 'difficult' questions i was so fucking worried about last night. oh well. at least im in. that rocks, doesnt it? though ill be working for only 3 weeks, that'd still gain me experience. and a couple of lines in my resume. ha. nice. anyway... today was fun. i just realized how there were sooo many ateneans there. first i saw miguel on his way to his area, the 9th floor. (yeah he was late. i got there at around 940 and he was just on his way to work!!!) then when i got up to the 11th floor, where i was supposed to be at, i saw deb, a fil12 blockmate couple of years ago... then there was niq who seriously surprised me! AND got me so stressed out!!! when she invited me to lunch, she first met up with the other interns working there. and here comes another atenean, clarissa who was introduced to me couple of years ago when niq and i were still blockmates. upon reaching the lobby, i saw a group and recognized a couple of them as ateneans. they were seemingly deciding where they were gonna eat lunch... haaay. narrating what happened is soooo tiring. to cut this short, i also bumped into nel (bernie's friend) and paul (former mktg classmate). anyway, the other people niq and i were with were also fun! the two guys there are lasalistas. one of them looked smart and kwela. then there were 3 other girls, who according to niq are from UP. i guess i'd have more stories to tell as i spend the rest of my summer there. and hey, im getting paid!

the second interviewer's questions basically just boiled down to one question: do you like to work here? hahahahahaha. interview over. briefing on tuesday. (of course, id have to say goodbye to my bmw family first.)

thats it for now.

PS last night's amazing race was soooo disappointing. rob and amber didnt win. but they were soooo freaking close.

and all of the AI finalists screwed up. each one got their dose of negative comments from the 3.
and anthony's gone. now we got the perfect final three. my prediction is that, vonzell's leaving next week.
