earthfart count = 3

i just had to say this... not doing anything at all is getting boring.

That oh-So-blessed feeling

I'm feeling so good. family issues aside, i really have nothing to complain about. It seems like everything is falling in to place. I didn't even need to really go through a period of difficulty and tension. Here I am now and I feel so damn good!

I got in Standard Chartered. Woohoo! I was feeling pretty bad before because I wasn't offered something by Shell. But as it turns out, there is a much better plan for me. Had I gotten into Shell I know that I wouldn't really look for another opportunity because 1.) Shell's offer is pretty good, 2.) there's a freaking car included in the pictures, 3.) i've kinda convinced myself that I wanted SHell, and 4.) i'm lazy. SC is so much better because 1.) better pay, 2.) it's in finance so that's in line with my dream of working in ADB, and 3.) it's an international program.

I'm extra happy because I asked the HR head if I could go to IC in Turkey given that I would be taking a 2-week leave. She allowed me to and now... I AM GOING TO IC!!!!

And of course... life won't be complete without a Care-booboo. After going through 3 interviews in SC, I only realized today that I've been calling the HR head by the wrong name. I was kinda confused because the person contacting me and the HR head both had the same name.. i thought the person contacting me was just acting on the behalf of the HR head.. turns out.. I was wrong the whole time. haha. Life is less complicated than I think it is. :D and it is oh so good!

Only in Pinas

On my way home from Manila, I saw this calesa - a makeshift horse-drawn carriage - along España. It's uncommon to see this on a major highway. But in this country where almost anything goes, I just had to laugh. too bad i couldn't take out my camera soon enough.

family issues

So what are you supposed to do if you're being threatened of being disowned? Being disowned would mean:
1. no inheritance - loss of access to family wealth (oh shit!)
2. no more family gatherings - no more christmas, no more fiestas, no more drunken parties together
3. quick access to funds - so they're the richer and more accessible side.. but then again, if i start working already, i'd be independent.


Should i really care?
