My FIRST pay day

2 days after my 19th birthday I received my first salary ^_^, not that grand but still its MONEY. At first I thought of it as an awesome job and that I would enjoy my job, but after a week I think I'm beginning to get tired. It doesn't pay much and totally not an easy job. We have to handle a psychological test which is taken by all incoming freshmen and as well as transferees, after the test we'll then check their papers. There are 2 tests in a day, one at 8:30 in the morning and another at 1:20 in the afternoon. sucks really! we're still checking the papers dated April 26, 2011 not to mention it's already the 5th of may. We have to catch up and finish checking by the end of the month, and also I still have to make my project proposal which is due on the 14th. Anyhow, I'll plan to keep a part of my salary and the majority.... well I'm thinking of treating my parents out on saturday or sunday, it will serve as my wedding anniversary gift to them. and did I also forgot to mention that my mom keeps on nagging me about that? hahaha...

I'm thinking of giving my blog a make over but I can't decide what my blog will be all about,,, is it a journal... a travel blog... a review blog.... an information blog.... aaahhh!!! I can't make up my mind. besides, I'm too lazy and just post whenever I feel like posting something.

Scribblings for catching up

It has almost been a year since my last update, and I must say, after signing in again I was really surprised to see some comments. To those anonymous persons who find time reading my blog, especially those who dropped their comments, my heartfelt gratitude with lots of love and kisses. lol. really. your comments meant a lot.

Now for my recap since July 18, 2010. Last year, 2010, had been a great year for me. I had 2 additional organizations namely, Xavier University-Peer Facilitator (PF) and Xavier University- Junior Financial Executives (JFinex). For that year, I got accepted as one of the associates of Jfinex and got a chance to run as an auditor for school year 2011-2012 but unfortunately lose by 4 votes, which, according to my friend, was a blessing in disguise since we've found out that if I did win, the position I am in which is Buget and Finance Officer will be given to another person. A person who might be a control freak and could probably control us, in other words she doesn't like that person. I was also nominated by a friend of mine for a certain position in PF, but glad that I didn't get the position since additional position means additional work and that might hinder me from getting that diploma. I am also the General Manager of our Feasibility Study which was definitely a BAD DECISION since I am doing almost all of the work, and yes! I am complaining and whining at the same time! Not to mention the teacher who keeps on pestering me to do this and that and to give her some updates and some papers on our feasibility study, which was decided to be boneless marinated milkfish.

Of course being an associate entitled me for a lot of work experience, widening my contacts, and most of all the BENEFITS!!! yes! benefits like you can be in whatever events you want for FREE with free foods!!! One of the benefits offered and which I grabbed, was to be a participant of the CDO ASSETS' (Alliance of Students Supporting the Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow) AIM ONE CAGAYAN training camp. It's an entrepreneurial and leadership training camp with outstanding speakers namely, Senator Chiz Escudero and Ms. Noreen Bautista (an Enterpreneur; one of the founders of Jacinto & Lirio). The camp was a BLAST!!! I have never gone such hardcore training in my entire life!! Of course, it opened doors. I get to meet a lot of interesting people and learn something from them.

Because of that camp, just this summer I was offered to apply for SBMSC (school of business and management student council) but because of my tonsilitis and fever I haven't submitted my application form. However, just like what a famous quote says "when a door closes a window opens," I am now part of CSG (central student government), nothing fancy though, just a member of the events committee . and I am still waiting for an interview to be a part of CDO-ASSET and become an official staff :)

There's also my CWTS-M ♥!!! The reason why I still get up at 6am on a Saturday. The reason why I read something at midnight even during a Friday. The class which I can call, my very own. I love my brilliant students, even though the feeling isn't mutual.

I'll make my senior year memorable and I'll definitely get my Business degree in time ^_^ Wish me luck
