I now find myself in a quandary: should I accept a job that pays lower than my current salary, but it is in the line of what I always wanted to do in life, or to continue with my present crappy job for a decent teaching salary? This guy who basically holds my career life in the palm of his hand is asking me about my expected salary. I mean why the ( Read more... )

Maybe it’s the old age or maybe it’s the new grandson, but my mother is definitely mellowing out these days. Called her yesterday to make sure my dad and she have not murdered one another yet and I’m certain that there was a hint of gladness in her voice. However, my mom being my mom, who has strong objections on showing affection and warmth to her ( Read more... )

My thesis adviser scared the bejesus out of me. Apparently I rank on the lower ladder of lazy ass thesis seniors, who let’s face it, I am. I guess I just lost my inspiration.

Fuck I failed Theo orals today!!! I’m really scared that my financial aid is going to be pulled under me. Stories of HER coming soon after I get my real grades. ARRRGG!

Talk about busy-bodies. Can’t wait to be an Aunt, a job in which I am pretty sure that I will screw up. Just the thought that 9 months from now, I will be meeting this ( Read more... )

I’m so psyche that my Advertising Management project came out good. Can’t get enough of Mrs. Nanette Diyco’s praises… of course I accepted it on the pretense of modesty but my innards were quivering with excitement and self-congratulatory sentiments. Its really hard to keep myself from blushing whenever people shower me with compliments… but I do ( Read more... )

Ghaaa! Just checked myself on the weighing scale, and its official: I’m a porker!!

All the vows I made last year on not becoming one of those seniors who hated their thesis, are now all a bust. I hate this stupid paper! And instead of actually working on it, I find myself listening to senti sappy tunes and staring at the clock as it hit the midnight mark. I have been doing this shitty thesis for 9 hours already and all I got to ( Read more... )
