Yep, I admit it. I did what I swore not to do in the early days of this blog: ignore my blog. I remember it was early this year that I last did an entry, so... after... nearly nine months, here's a mega update.
First and foremost, I had undergone my internship at a local newspaper company and loved it, since I got paid a lot, unlike some of my friends who got nothing (money-wise) from theirs. So because of that, I became the subject of envy among my peers. Muaahaha! And, my internship provides my cool and free stuff when I attended press conferences and whatnot. So, I also became the subject of envy among my family members. Haha!! Ok, enough bragging.
Naturally, all those luxury came with a price. I had to work as if I was an actual staff, which almost made me go blind at several points of time. I can't really say what I had to do, but, just bear with me, that I had suffered. Apparently nobody was willing could stand to do what I was doing, so I ended up being the pushover.
And, I didn't really have many friends there, since my colleagues were either too old or not in the same wavelength as me. So, i was forced to suck up 24/7. God, I hate them. The money that I was supposed to get was my only motivator.
Despite my strong hate for the job and the place and the people, I realized that once I'm gone, there would be nobody to take my place. Eventually, a fellow colleague was forced into it, and she could only survive for two weeks. After that, I was called in to take over. Luckily I was done with my studies and I was supposed to look for a job. So, since there was an opportunity, why not?
And now, I think monthly I earn more than my colleagues, and my classmates. So, if I ignore the annoying job that I'd have to do, I'm really thankful for what I have right now.
If you're wondering about Mary, yeah, she's still alive and kicking. Somewhere. Only God knows where. At least that's what I heard. As for me, I'm still pissed. Our graduation is coming up, so... we'll see what happens.
With my hard-earned salary, I've ordered an iPhone 3GS via Maxis. That was on Aug 28. And I was supposed to get it this week, on Sept 28 to be exact. I was giddily waiting for the call (Maxis would call to confirm that the phone has arrived, then only I can go collect) on that very day. At around 4.30pm, I got a call from Maxis. This girl Farah said that the order has been delayed for 14 days. So, I should wait some more.
*sigh*. I've heard a lot of complaints regarding Maxis'/iPhone catastrophe. Here I am, wanting to show off my new phone to everyone, and trust Maxis to burst my bubble. Gah!
It's Ok, good things come to those who wait.
