17Jul2007

it's been a long time since i made an entry here... maybe a couple of months or so... and i've got pldt to thank for that (stoopid people still account our loss of internet connection to the earthquake in taiwan months ago...)... we've just gotten this darn internet up and running... i just hope to high heavens that there would be no mishaps soon...

anyhoo...

ok. i've always thought that the last place i'm going to work for is a bank or any company in finance for that matter; i've always thought that i'm going to work for a company or an organization as a sales, events or marketing associate. but what do you know? i'm now currently employed with HSBC, the world's local bank (although i must admit i'm still in sales... =P). i remember writing the last time that i was working for our family company and that we've just come back from palawan... we'll a couple of weeks after that i got a call from HSBC inviting me for an exam... i thought what the heck and took it anyway... turns out i passed and i was slated for an interview... they actually called me back and said that i had a "talk" with the vp for strategic human resources (or something to that effect)... i thought it was for a second interview but surprise, surprise! it was already for a contract signing... i just want to say... nabulag ako sa sweldo... dahil lintik ang hirap!!! =( anyway... met some new friends there, and i'm currently enjoying my stay... hopefully i get regularized soon...

speaking of HSBC, i'm currently working at the HSBC Centre at the Bonifacio Global City... incidentally, i'll be moving out (yehey!!!!) and moving into my condo unit at Serendra, which is also located at the BGC. i'm crossing my fingers so i can get regularized asap! sayang naman kasi kung hindi din lang ako mareregular, diba?

i still want to tie up loose ends... although i don't know how...

in all honesty, i'm infuriated with a certain person right now. as in.

just watched harry potter and the order of the phoenix last saturday... all i can say is: woah. they all look so mature now... though cho chang (katie leung) kinda gained a few pounds (and i mean in weight...), the rest of the cast seemed to grow out of their baby fats by this movie... and i still don't like cho... heehee

i'm excited for the 7th (and last?) harry potter book... it's going to be released this saturday! OMG! sooo excited.... i'm going to go straight to the bookstore after our training to buy the book!!! holy... can't wait!!!!

i guess i better end this short... now that there's a decent internet connection, i can post anytime i can!! =D
