something new
"When was the last time you did something for the first time?"*smiles*
i have the perfect - and very detailed - answer for that one.. ^^
i woke up REALLY early that friday morning.. strangely, i was excited.. the last time i was supposed to go to alabang for a job interview, i decided that staying in bed all day was a better idea..
so i got up, took a bath, brushed my teeth, fixed my hair, and picked "nice" clothes to wear.. i was smiling all the way to festival mall..
until i realized that i don't know where to go.. the mall was still closed, see? and i am very easily disoriented..
so i called gino and told him that i think i got lost.. he told me to - deep breath - walk. from festival mall to northgate. and as if it'll make the idea seem "appealing", he adds that there are lots of people walking.. and that he can see the mall from where he was..
so i walked.
i saw less than ten people walking, and the ROOF of festival mall can be seen from where gino was standing.. i could've thrown a tantrum and spent the day shopping
na lang if i wasn't in such a good mood.. at least i was wearing kitten heels instead of stilettos.
it was a long day. 12 hours for a job interview. and i forgot to bring a freaking book.. tsk. i made some new friends, though.. and we spent most of the day entertaining ourselves "observing" our co-applicants and laughing our heads off.. hahaha! (hi Lara! hi Fei! ^^) so after five interviews, an exam, a ham and cheese sandwich, and munchkins, they told me that they my papers will be endorsed and that i'll just have to wait for the job offer..
what the hell does that mean?! did they hire me? how long shall i wait before they call? sometimes it sucks being a corporate virgin.
i was thrilled, confused, hungry, and tired.. and since there aren't any cabs in northgate, i had to walk again to festi.. the wind was blowing like crazy.. all i can think about was hot soup and buffalo wings. i was also starting to think that i was in new york (sex and the city theme playing in my head). i was really very hungry.
anyway, i made it to don hen alive.. i asked for a corner table - gasp - for one. ^^ ordered chicken soup, chicken fingers and fries, buffalo wings, and a glass of iced tea.. when every thing was served, it was only then that i remembered that i will be eating alone and that the resto serves everything like all their customers haven't eaten for months.. i had to ask them that some, most rather, of the food be packed for me to take home, seeing that the people in nearby tables were already giving me strange looks..
after dinner, i headed to starbucks.. claimed my planner (thanks, ollie! ^^) and had a marshmallow mocha (grande, for here =p).. gino came in at around 10pm, and we had to leave before 10:30 - him: for work, me: for going home..
then i had to walk AGAIN to the terminal.. this guy started talking to me, he's going to calamba too, and it was nice chatting with him
naman, so it wasn't that bad.. and besides, i love talking.
got home safely and went straight to bed.. i got sick the next day. tsk.
