In the Enemy's Territory

It's a Saturday and I want a fast forward to Monday, April 30, 2012.

Last Wednesday, I don't know what got into me when I hurriedly went to my room, take my laptop and check my email and other accounts. I clicked the logo of GMA-7 in Jobstreet first thing when I got connected to the internet. I applied in a job opening then after two hours I got a text from them. The next day, I am in GMA-7 having my interview with the HR and after the managers.


I just wanna share a weird statement I answered in my interview and I still can't get over it:


HR: What is your weakness Michael?


Me: LOVE? Hahahaha!


HR: Cheezy ka ha!! Hahahaha!!

It was not the typical answer you get from someone who's applying for a certain position. But it was really the first thing that popped my mind. And I'm not at all ashamed of my answer. I think for reasons I got the HR's attention. (Hahaha)

It was kinda weird to be in "the enemy's territory". I didn't imagine myself even setting foot on that station. I was a Kapamilya since I the time we first had a television set in the province. There were times when I watched GMA-7 shows but I have to say I am not really a fan. Even when I was taking up Mass Communication at FEU, I really didn't think I would be in GMA-7 at the most watching a live show in the studio.

But here I am, smarter, setting foot again on GMA-7 on Monday for my final interview with the department's Vice President. And I am excited for it. Not the normal me. I don't why but there is something that tells me this is my future. And I have to work my way up.

Whatever the outcome on Monday with my interview and hopefully they give me the exam already, I will accept. For whatever it is, this is what God is telling me to do, to go and to love.
To God Be The Glory!

Wait. Set. Go!

I have a problem with the virtue of patience. It is proven by my colleagues and friends that I am not a big fan of Patience. If someone is late for more than 15 minutes, then my temper challenges me. I know my exes know that. That's what gets me in trouble.

I am a fan of accuracy and time. And for some reason I believe in this statement:

"Though Patience is a Virtue, TIME is GOLD"

It has been a week since my interview with this Events, Marketing and Advertising company. Though I always get updates from my friend who is the consultant of the company, I don't know why it is this long to wait until I start working. I feel bored now. I feel that I really want to start already, right at this moment. (Haha) Well I am still lucky! I know some people who waits a year or more just to land a job. I am still thankful. This patience really bug me and when it does, my mind plays. And sometimes I don't want what it tells me. I think I just have to wait and enjoy every minute, hour and day of my bum days.

Now I have another problem... how will I say goodbye to my colleagues in ABS-CBN? WellI I will on the first day of work in my new job. (Hahahaha)

For now I have to:

Wait... Set... then finally Go!

Friday the 13th

For some, Friday the 13th is "Malas". But yesteray when I started my day, I claimed that the day would be my lucky day.

Lemme just share my happiness.

I have a new job!!!!

It all started when I got a call from the hr of this advertising, events and marketing company in Ortigas last Thursday. She set me an interview the next day, friday the 13th. Well the "malas" day for some was my lucky day. I went there without expecting anything. I actually got lost looking for the office. When the hr approached me, she ask me if I knew that particular person she's asking me about. I told her yes. To my surprise, my friend who the hr is talking about is actually the consultant of the company. I was so surprised I didn't expect it.

She interviewed me, then asked another boss to interview me, then to the President of the company. Happy that I got them asking me to join the company. I thanked my friend for giving me the opportunity to be a part of their creative staff.. I am excited for the job and for this new world I'll be venturing into.

And of course, that day wouldn't be possible without Bro up above who continuously hears my prayer. My friday the 13th was my luckiest day so far.
