Kitty Fan!

Love yah!I sooo adore Hello Kitty! I have downloaded themes, wallpapers, screensavers and the likes. Soon I’ll update my blog to look with her cute face ü

Plus I have a new email address! It will be the one I will use frequently godes5@hellokitty.com Coolness! Email me!

CFC Anniv!

Today is the 25th CFC Anniv. Only today did I realize that StatSoc and CFC is of the same age. Both are celebrating their Silver Anniversary! Woohoo! Congrats to both!

It was drizzling when we left Pque and still was drizzling when we reached Quirino. Aacck! I hate to be caught outside at such a weather. Anyway, what really amazes me is when rain would gradually stop during Eucharistic celebration or Praise Fest. Sure is a work of God!

P.S.
My Sister has a tongue ring! Kaluka! Oh well

FINALLY…

Yes, finally. I have finally filed my resignation yesterday. I was just waiting for the call regarding my Medical Results before passing my resignation letter. And oh, my SM talked to me last Thursday (day before I filed my resignation) to say that she heard about my plan and wanted to offer alternatives. Whatever she said, it was too late. And hey, am confident I have God’s blessings with the decision I have made. But it was a little funny that when I approached her to FINALLY file it, she uttered, “Yan na ba yun?”

Yesterday, I also went to the gym to get a Body Scrub and Massage. Hay, therapy! I heart heart heart it sooo much. I actually bought more GCs, hehe. But whoops, haven't deposited our payment to Cham's savings. Will do on Monday, promise! ü

Also, today a lot has happened.


  1. I was able to pass by my dentist. I haven’t had my check-up since last month! Gack! How I needed that visit. Anyway, I’ll try hard to make the visits every 2 weeks again.
  2. Mark and Honeypie have finally gone to Mona’s place for their CommComm and Secretary stuffs. I followed after lunch and was in awful luck to be caught in the rain. Anyway, it was a well spent afternoon. Mark learned how to use the Office Publisher and finished most of the Masterpages for the SouvProg. And when most of our ‘housemates’ have left (present kasi buong family ni Mona), we bought Pizza, hehe.
  3. And I have received the update on my other application. I did not get the position. It is not the first time I did not get a position but this is the only position I have regretted not getting. Well, only because of the company not exactly because of the vacancy. No matter how the letter said that I have fine qualifications to make me feel better, the fact still remains that I did not get it.


    1. Dear Applicant

      Thank you for your interest in exploring a career in Procter & Gamble. We enjoyed speaking with you and having the opportunity to learn more about your background and experiences.

When it rains, it pours…

Last week, I was up waiting for calls. Yes, emphasis on the ‘s’. The first call, I gave up on waiting right away. I figured that I just didn’t get. And maybe Accounting isn’t really for me. The other call, I was able to know the reason for the delay. I just had to take it in a positive way. The said call did come. It came Friday afternoon, the very birthday of my previous and hopefully my future VP (if I’m to stay).

Friday after work hours, we (my boss, Shalene and I) went straight to the VPs office. The VP was so nice; she herself prepared the food for us. Then I was flabbergasted when she mentioned she heard about my leaving. Huwaaat?! I swear talk about being caught off guard. My SM is soooo talkative. I’m sure she was the one who told the VP about that. And hey, did I mention that I haven’t even mentioned any plans to her yet. She was still presuming so she should’ve shut her mouth until I ask her for anything. Grrrr!!!!

After the rest my mind took when no calls were coming, I’m again baffled. My VP said I should talk to her first before I make any decisions and my job offer is already on Monday! Haaay…

Actually, I think I have had my thoughts organized already. Just need to pray more to make sure it isn’t my will but most importantly His.
