Safety Briefing :}
Quote of the Day: "Bawal magistambay"
I learned a new word today but I forgot what it was... Oh wait, I remember...
> pahinante - a truck driver's assistant
Today, I went to uni to submit the required documents and was surprised to find out that I had to listen to a safety briefing. Being the clueless Atenean that I was, I thought it would be one of those orientations where they'd explain what were things to do, not do, and other stuff. Imagine my surprise when upon getting there, I was asked to sit down and watch a Jan 1999 (a really outdated) safety video. Worse, it was in yellow and grey only - the TV was busted. Worst, it used a lot of terms that I didn't understand (malalim yung ibang mga terms na ginamit). Fortunately, the speaker in the video did "translate" what he could but there were some terms that were, well deep, like the one above.
After watching the briefing, I was even given a test to see how much I remembered. 15 points Tama or Mali and 5 points Multiple Choice. I got 19/20 but that was only because another guy came in while I was taking the test and they played the video again. :p I was given the "safety breifing" card to signify that I passed the test! Yey!
My internship begins on Monday. I know others have already started and I have been getting mixed responses. Ha ha... Bahala na! 730 AM for the next 5 weeks na 'to... :}
