The MAGIC of TIME

This is a PERFECT example of the Ugly duckling turned into a Gorgeous looking swan in human form. That's just how life works... you might not know that your geeky duck seatmate whom you always ridicule way back would turn out to be a top model in the future! The joke's on you!!!

or...or... the geeky duck would turn out to be your gorgeous stiff BOSS!!! How's that?!? and you'll spend your work-life being tormented by your used to be duck boss!!!

or...or... the ugly duckling who used to be your admirer/stalker until you acridly turned him/her down suddenly turn to a charming casanova or a ruthless heartbreaker....

there goes my blustering imagination again....

However, beauty is indeed just skin deep,, it will wear-off sooner or later.... let's see how he'll look like when he's 50! hahahahaha...

So... Pick the DUCKLINGS while they're still young coz tendency is that,,,... ducks and swans will switch in the near future!!! TRUE STORY!!!! Learned that the hard way... But like everything else,, there's always an exception.... you can never tell =p

Take the RISK!!! Hang out with and be a NOBODY today and you'll definitely be and have SOMEBODY in the FUTURE!!!! hahahaha....

and this folks is a complete NONSENSE!!!!! *bow* walay lingaw lamang!!

Living the dream!!! Hahaha…. Not really, but at least…. I finally finished something I longed to do for over a year…. Yep! MOVIES and of course read books….

Finished “Falling for you” by Jill Mansell….

“Do you still not see? It’s because there’s only been one girl I’ve wanted to settle down with, and she wasn’t interested in me. She turned me down.” He paused. “So I did the next best thing and became her best friend instead. Well, pretended to be her best friend.” -Jake Harvey

The story was far more complicated than I thought it was…. First, I thought it was a common love story, you know, star-crossed lovers but will definitely have a happy ending… Well, I was right about the ending part but never expected ALL of them.. I mean, there were what? 8 love stories sewn together and add the affairs and some complications…. There’s Maddy-Kerr, Kate-Dexter, Juliet-Jake, Estell-Oliver, Marcell - Maddy&Jake’s Father & the new dude I forgot the name, the ever adorable Sophie-Tiff and of course who would have thought Nuala-Den, even the two dogs Bean-Norris…… You won’t expect a small town to have such bizarre stories….

Hhhmmmm…. What shall I pick next??

First...... [ / ]

As they say,,, there's always the first time....

It was the first company to have called me after god-knows-how-many companies I have submitted my resume......

Imagine, I was in the middle of the street... ok.. at an alley outside Ororama while I took that friggin call which was basically my interview already... can you believe that! It was totally unexpected!!! And god knows my impromptu communication skill is slowly deteriorating....

I may have sounded a little too desperate... ok... VERY desperate! but what can I do?!? I was just being honest.... no harm in that... wait! there is!!! I won't be getting THAT job!!!! How can I forget that it's about impressing, exaggerating, and manipulating the truth or saying just the half-truth,,, not about pure honesty! They won't even know you're lying!!! This isn't heaven yet!!! u know, when u die there's this grande golden gate and the infamous San Pedro waiting for you somewhere there, then before you could enter "heaven" or what lies beyond that golden gate you have to look-back and tell him, wait... prove rather, that you should be there in HEAVEN and not on the opposite side (the dark, hot part... although it might be fun in there... hahaha... who knows right).... aaahhh.... ok! you get my point... back to the interview again...

There are a few things I've learned from that experience which I'm about to share with you....

First and the most important thing you should know before having an interview is:

"KNOW ABOUT THE COMPANY" ----- It's basically the first rule....

Second: Flaunt your skills/achievements/talents/whatsoever!!! coz whatever you say, they'll believe you for sure... Trust me! It's impressing them that counts.... But if u have none,, well, just be ready to improvise.... I'm sure there is something, you just have to figure it out=)

Third: Be ready to be bombarded with TONS of questions....

Some Questions and Possible Answers I should keep in mind always:

1. Why Finance?

I chose Finance since it is applicable in our everyday life. Finance is a combination of Accounting and Economics. It is considering all factors and putting data together to come up with the best possible solution or decision. It's not just numbers or data alone,, it's like life... everything counts and it doesn't stop there..... it's a continuous process since we are always dealing with change....

2. Why should we hire you?

Because I am the person you're looking for. With my knowledge and skills, I will become an asset to your company. More so because I am flexible and can adapt to change easily

3. Favorite finance subjects: and can you tell us something about it?

Controllership and subject ni ma'am saguing... hahahaha.... still need to reread my notes.... dang!

4. Why do you want to work in our company?

Because It is where my area of expertise lies where I can apply what I have learned and at the same time enhance my skills. Working in your company is my desired job as well

5. What are your strengths?

(should review my resume for that...)

6. Tell me something about your org, your position, and what you have done...

7. What is your edge among others?

5-7 are some of the questions I still have to work on with....

Regardless, I thank Deutsche for the great opportunity and for the things they have taught me =)
