25 and then some.
I haven't done the birthday post yet :) I turned 25 last January, and no I don't feel that it's such a big deal to turn 25. No epiphanies, no grand birthday celebration, no feeling of having a specific turning point in my life. Just another year older.
Anyway, I just remembered having no birthday post because I just opened the letter from Ateneo. I'm perplexed that even after almost 5 years after graduating, I still get a birthday greeting from school. Hahahaha, and well, the letter's supposed to be from Fr. Nebres, but for sure the signature is digital and everything's a template for all the birthday celebrants. But I still appreciate the effort, imagine how many people actually graduate each year, and up to how many years do they actually send the letter. I wonder if other schools do this too? I receive this every year since I graduated.
Anyway, I know this is weird, it's Valentine's day and my post is about my birthday. That's why the title says and then some, for my other ramblings.
For one, no I haven't won the lotto yet! There's still no winner, and I guess I better stop dreaming of actually winning the lotto and shake myself to reality. I don't wanna waste more P20's hahaha.
Second, I am so raving about this Caramel and Cheese Popcorn! Chicago Popcorn Shops in Mall of Asia! After I read the post, it so happen that we were really going to MOA that day, so I was able to try it. I guarantee, it's better than Chef Tony's and Holy Kettle Popcorn (which I both love). Their popcorn is SOOO damn good. Seriously, sue me if you don't like it.
Lastly, I'm still not into the whole Vday thing. Love should be celebrated everyday hahahaha. Cheesy! :)

One Big Fight.
1988. 2002. 2008. Go Ateneo! :)
Then let's all eat Ateneo Krispy Kreme after winning the game today :D Thank God we have TV in the office. For one, I don't think I can step out on a Thursday even if the bosses are stepping out to watch, and the important factor, the tickets! I don't think I can get my hands on any ticket at all.
One Big Fight!

School Stuff.
I had dinner last Friday with my blockmates, okay make that I spent time with them since I ate dinner with ex-officemates, and I found out(unless they're joking) that BS Ma
nagement Information Systems in Ateneo is not being offered anymore. WTH?
nagement Information Systems in Ateneo is not being offered anymore. WTH?10 years, hmm let's say 20 years from now, let's say classmates of BS MIS' kids ask, what was the course of your parents in ADMU before? They'll say BS MIS. Then the classmates would go, "What's that?" Hahahahaha. I know that's really long term thinking, but I can't help being apprehensive on the thought that my course was phased out. And it's not like people stopped taking it, well before, a lot of people wanted to take it. My blockmates were even joking that people didn't want to take it anymore, they want to take Nursing now. Harhar :P
It's still going to be offered, I think under a different name and instead of placing it under School of Science and Engineering, it's going to be placed under School of Management.
Catching up with my blockmates even if it was just a quarter of our class, was really fun :) Talking about classes and teachers and all the boo-boo's we've had to go through. I hope to see everyone soon again!
Oh this is funny, I was trying to Google any news in the Ateneo Site about the course update in case there was an article, I chanced upon this, FAQ's on ACET.
What do I do during the ACET?
Do not go to sleep while taking the test. Do not go to sleep while taking the test. Do not go to sleep while taking the test. (Ad infinitum)
Really Funny! :)

Interviews.
Okay, just a warning this entry might be a bit biased :)
I've been interviewing applicants for the company because we need more people in my team and in other teams as well. So far, almost everything's been filled up and we just need one more person for my team. Now, here's where my bias comes, well it may sound like a biased opinion, but this is just based from my observations on why Ateneans are good on interviews. In case my entry shows up on google, here's the 101 on interviews for fresh grads.
So here's what fresh grads need, I don't really care how high or how low your grades were, how many subjects you failed, I just need personality. That's it. Dazzle those who are conducting the interviews. Make sure you have confidence and you shine and make them feel you know what you're talking about. Newly grads start on equal footing with each other because they don't have work experience yet. We don't even look at the grades, well except for other schools I think(okay biased) or if it took you 5 years to graduate(except for ECE grads because it takes 5 years). I just really can't believe some of the applicants' answer when we ask them how would their college friends describe them, one even answered, "Mahirap kausap..", I mean how the hell can we hire someone who's hard to talk to, right? Bias on schools aside. If you need to fake it, as long as your personality can win us over, go ahead :) Oh and please brush up on English :D If we ask a question in Filipino, feel free to answer in Filipino. If we ask a question in English, please also answer in English. I thought that was a given :)
Now why do I think Ateneans have an edge? Well for one, with the oral exams we've had to go through, Philo and Theo, we've had that practice on delivering answers and reasoning out. Basically, marunong tayo kung paano mambola. We can justify our answers and get our point across whatever it takes :p
Now the reason why we can't hire Ateneans all the time, they have a bigger asking price hahahahaha.
The pro's and con's of it :)

Animo Ateneo!
Wahhh I don't have tickets for tomorrow's game :( I really hope Ateneo wins over UST! I thought after graduating, I'd get over the UAAP phase, but noooo. The school spirit still lives within me.
It's just really funny, whenever Ateneo wins a game over La Salle, I don't go boasting the win of Ateneo over La Salle, but whenever Ateneo loses over a La Salle game, I get messages from them hahahaha. But I was never really the type who trash talks, except I guess when the competitive side of me rules, which only happens when I play a game with Ian like foosball and I win (which now rarely happens). Oh well. Anyway, to win this season, we have to beat UST, then beat La Salle twice, then beat UE twice. That's a total of 5 games!
The schedule below (I got this in an email, and it's so funny because it's really assuming that we're gonna win!)
STEP LADDER GAME 1: UST vs. ADMU, Sunday, Sept. 23, Araneta Coliseum
STEP LADDER GAME 2: DLSU vs. ADMU, Thursday, Sept. 27, Araneta Coliseum
STEP LADDER GAME 3: DLSU vs. ADMU, Sunday, Sept. 30, Araneta Coliseum
FINALS GAME 1: UE vs. ADMU, Thursday, Oct. 4, Araneta Coliseum
FINALS GAME 2: UE vs. ADMU, Sunday, Oct. 7, Araneta Coliseum
FINALS GAME 3: UE vs. ADMU, Thursday, Oct. 11, Araneta Coliseum (IF NECESSARY)
Speaking of Ateneo, Harry Potter in Ateneo is sooooo funny. I don't want to post it here because it's really long, but you can google it by typing "Harry Potter in Ateneo" and other blogs will turn up.
Another one riding on the UAAP Fever, Krispy Kreme! The Team that gets the most "votes" (which color sells best) until October 4, 2007 gets a Krispy Kreme doughnut party!
I love Krispy Kreme :) I've got to buy the blue doughnuts!
I guess I'll just hope for the best and prepare for the worst, if we can't bag the UAAP championship, let's just get the Krispy Kreme party ;)

Disoriented.
I am presently disoriented in so many ways. The typhoon Milenyo caused a havoc, it even left us 5 days without electricity, a lot of people homeless, plus billboards and trees ruined.
And now, I have a reason to believe that my body clock is based on tv programs that I watch, haha, I guess partly, because having no TV programs to watch, I don't have a clue what day it is. Well, it partly caused my disorientation to what the present day is. But that's just a tiny part of the whole picture. Hmm maybe having no electricity and no water also is a tiny part of the picture.
Another factor is being relocated in Taft. It feels college life all over again, living in a condo, except that elevators are shared with Lasalistas and not Atenistas. Haha. And since I don't have dress code at work, I can pass off as a college student :p I've been sleeping in my brother's condo for the past 2 nights with my cousins, since we don't have electricity at home. But I'm going home today since we already have power back. Makati's just 15 to 20 minutes away from the condo, it's so near compared to the travel from our house. I could always stay in the condo, but living away from home for 4 years, makes you wanna go back and stay at home after grad.
I guess after a while I'll be less disoriented.I'll be back in the comforts of home with electricity and water. I'll be able to watch my TV shows, people will start building their homes again, streets will be cleared from the billboards and trees. And we'll go back to the norm again, doing our thing, living our routine.
Despite everything else going back to normal, I'd still be disoriented..
Till he's back. Miss you already b.
