Just some updates (since I haven't really been writing much). I will write in bullets because I'm too tired to to make a coherent entry. Haha.

1. Last week, I had an interview every single freakin day of the week (some days even two interviews). So by the middle of the week, I was tired as hell. Thursday, I had an interview in Makati at 10, then in Pasig at 2. It was the first time I tried riding the shuttle from Marikina to Ayala Ave. Unfortunately, the only seats left were facing backwards. By the middle of the ride, I really felt like puking already. When I went down on the corner of Ayala and Buendia, I'm pretty sure I looked and walked like a zombie. Thank god there was a Jollibee nearby. I was able to buy a drink and sit down. Unfortunately, I had to reschedule my 10am interview because I knew I would just make a fool of myself if I went, and probably even puke during the interview. Haha. Thankfully, I was well enough to go to my 2pm exam in Pasig, although I still had a bit of a headache. Of all the days to be asked to do a creative exam, it had to fall on a day when I had a headache and felt like shit. Pffft. I hope my ideas made sense.

2. As I left Jollibee (still looking like a zombie) that morning, I received a phone call from someone who claimed to work for Jollibee. Apparently, a fellow Atenean showed her this entry of mine. It was quite a surprise. She apologized for what happened, and even said that if I was ever in the area, I was welcome to visit and look for her. Although I was in the area at that time, I was in no condition to deal with anyone. Haha. I'm glad she called, though. At least I know they're doing something about that issue, and I hope no one else has to go through the same thing. Employees are, after all, one of the most important contact points the consumer has with any brand. What a company invests in employee training, I'm sure they will be able to reap back with customer loyalty.

3. Friday: Interviews at 10am then 2pm, thankfully both in Makati. Afterwards, I met up with AA at Paseo, then with Fidz at Glorietta. We had dinner, then Fidz, Ali, and I went to Drew's house to hang out, drink, and play Wii! Wheeeee. Hahaha. We ended up sleeping over and leaving at 9am the next day.

4. WEEKEND. THANK GOD FOR THE WEEKEND. I wasn finally able to rest after such a hectic week. Honestly, I think job-hunting and going to interviews is more tiring than actually working. When you're going to interviews (and you're commuting like me), you have to take a long commute, go to the interview (which usually lasts just an hour), and then go back home. You end up spending more time on the road. @_@

5. I had 2 more interviews today. I finally have my top three job choices. I just hope they do call back within the week. No matter which of the three hires me, I'll be happy. I didn't feel this way with any of the previous job offers I had, so at least now I feel like I won't be such a confused mess like how I was when I was making a decision before.

6. I know there's still something I'm supposed to write here, but I completely forgot about it. @_@ Will update again soon.
