i have never thought & have never felt so old until yesterday when i joined JG Summit Holdings’ recruitment for their training program. darn! the news paper ad clearly indicated that they’re looking for newly grads or graduating studes to qualify the program. but me being stubborn & not wanting to be just discourage that easily, i still went there. and boom! reality slapped my face real hard. almost everyone of the attendees were graduating studes (although of course, it doesn’t follow that they’re all younger than I am). but knowing that i’ve been working for 4yrs now, that makes me older.

i took the 10-item IQ test w/c even made me realized na gitayaan na jud akong utok. piskot! i managed to smile though & deal w/ the soooo embarassing experience as if it’s just a matter-of-fact.

the facilitator allowed me to take the test but not for the training program. if ever i pass the exam (w/c i doubt by the way), they’ll recommend me for their China scholarship program. yeah ryt!

at least i tried. that’s all i can say. i haven’t lost anything, but just my dignity & pride & sacrificing less than 200 bucks for the taxi & gaining callous for wearing black shoes w/ heels that i was not used to.

buhay nga naman. mahirap mg-job hunting.

Review about Ricky Lee’s Para Kay B

Filed Under (Books) by prechell on 06-03-2009
i have just finished reading Ricky Lee’s Para Kay B novel yesterday. I’m not fond of reading novels, unless I got so bored about having nothing to do or of being bored of being bored. However, I found his book very interesting that I was able to finish reading it in just one week (I know… it’s too long to just read one book).
 
The novel was all about 5 love stories, written by Lucas, the Capital S guy (as in sawi). Most of the main characters in the stories had either a tragic love story or bitter love life, if not all of them. The writer was struggling how he could possibly create the story’s ending. The main characters were 5 women. The first story was about a woman who had been in search of the guy who had promised to marry her, but only to be denied when she found him. The 2nd story was about a woman who had been hiding herself in a closet, knowing deep inside her that she’s a lesbian. She had been married, got 8 kids, but was still madly in love with the woman she made love before. Meanwhile, the 3rd story revolved around a woman who had been in love with her brother (this was, by the way, a mutual relationship). Incest. The 4th story was about this woman who used to not know how to love, but when finally she knew how, the man she fell in love with happened to be incapable of reciprocating her love for him. Finally, the last story was about Bessie (so the title Para kay B).
 
The line that struck me most was what the author had written about love being sort of a political ideology. It’s too deep to comprehend. But may be, it is just like that.
p.s. Francis M. has just passed away yesterday, March 6, 2009. he was earlier diagnosed for leukemia, and died due to complications. tsk3x.buhay nga naman.you can never can tell (ara mina).
