MBA Proficiency exam

i took the proficiency test this afternoon.  there were only a few of us now kasya na kami sa isang room.  i think probably ten rooms were filled up with people who  took the gpat exam in feb.  i'm really very thankful that i passed.  i actually did not tell my friends nor my officemates that i took the gpat for fear that i might not pass. haha. i even tried to avoid a former blockmate who also took the test since i didn't want anybody to know.  i hope he also passed although i didn't see him earlier.

according to the email, only 120 people will be admitted into the program.  sana since kaunti na lang kami kanina lahat na lang pasado na. :)  most of us were expecting to take the exam again in may.  taking the test this afternoon was just sort of a practice test.

anyway, before the exam engr. asked if i wanted to watch a movie after but i declined.  i might be too tired already after the six-hour exam.  i don't want to be a lantang gulay during our date.   if i only knew that i wouldn't be thinking that hard since it's useless to think about something you really don't know, i should have just said yes to his invitation. haha.

lunch date

paprika and i had lunch together.  yun lang.

back to school (?)

i passed the GPAT! yahoo!  i just got an email from the UP MBA Admissions Committee however i still need to pass the proficiency exam on saturday.  kamusta naman thursday na, good luck na lang sakin! the proficiency exam will cover algebra, calculus, econometrics, statistics, accounting, and economics.  simply put, i'm not ready to take the test!  haha

they are offering workshop classes to clueless people like me. i think i'll just take the test on saturday, attend the workshop and then re-take the exam on may.  buti na lang, they are offering a re-take in may.

CBA really lives up to its name.  they really are business-oriented.  they don't charge anything for the proficiency but they offer workshop classes.  of course, people will attend the workshops.  it is more likely for people who have been out of school for three years or so to have already forgotten algebra, calculus, statistics, etc! 

i just hope i pass.

wtf?!

it was kinda weird that while i was with engr, paprika was calling.  didn’t answer his call of course.  he called me up again at around 10pm, good thing i was already at home.

i didn’t tell him that i went out on a date.  i felt kinda guilty, i don’t know why.  should i tell him?  he didn’t ask why i didn’t answer his call.  if he asked, i would probably tell him or probably not.

i feel that he is keeping me from moving on.  but i think he is doing something so he can move on.  how selfish! 

comfy…

date went well.  we had dinner and talked about a lot of stuff.  i just realized that we probably have the same personality.  we pretend to be behaved and all but there's an evil dark side that we keep hidden from everybody else.

he gave me a shirt by the way.  shirt from the cycling event this sunday.  it was oversized and he knew it was too big for me but he gave it to me anyway.  i should think that it's a sweet gesture.

probable sunshine

engr and i are going out after work.  we are going to see the world light expo in roxas blvd.  i'm quite excited. 

now, i am hoping that he is the next one if not the one for me.  haha.

being a bitch

back to work again.  i really didn't want to go to the office this morning.  i have already planned to extend my holy week vacation for one more day.  i'm not looking forward to seeing my officemates again after that nasty joke last wednesday about my transfer to another company. 

it was really very offensive for me.  i'd rather not share what the joke was.  imbyerna ako sa nagjoke pati sa lahat ng kasabay namin na kumain.  no one bothered to say something to stop the joke or to say that the joke has already gotten too far.

the joker was very apologetic but this time i don't want to just understand and let it go.  i've been like that for the longest time.  letting people off the hook. smiling instead of showing that i'm pissed.  i need to be aggresive.  i have to unleash my inner bitch!

contract signing

i am still unsure about my plans to leave the office.  but i went on with the contract signing anyway.  we didn't agree with the start date yet but i'm asking if i could start in may which is really longer than the usual one-month period.

i need to submit a lot of documents and i need to finish a lot of work before my resignation.  busy, busy me.

for now, it's final that i'm really resigning.  i have doubts about this decision but i am hoping that i made the right one. 

fresh from bora!

just got back from bora.   it was my first time to ride a plane. thanks to miranda, who sponsored our bora trip. 

this time we really had sun unlike last year.  binagyo kami last year.  parang isang episode sa Lost.  it was very unfortunate na kasabay namin naglagi at umalis ng bora ung bagyo! the only thing that i enjoyed last year were the shakes and the banana boat ride.

i sort of enjoyed this time.  sort of because for some unknown reason there were a number of times that i just felt imbyerna.  i think i was too moody the entire vacation.  i don't know why, maybe i just had too much on my mind.  it was a good thing though that engr (my 5-hr. date) was consistent with texting and calling the entire time.  haha! hanggang  kelan kaya siya magpaparamdam? 

paraw sailing  was the best relaxation i had in bora.  i didn't swim much, number one because i don't know how to swim and number two, i didn't want to be nognog.

i also enjoyed the food.  we had seafoods for dinner for two consecutive nights.  i love it! yummy!

i already told 3 people about my plans to leave the office.  the best reaction i got was from motmot.  i really didn't expect him to tell me not to leave.  i was really touched. 

5-hour date

just came home from my 5-hour date.  we spent 3 hours at starbucks and we had dinner at teriyaki boy.  he was really makwento, which was contrary to my expectation.  he looked slightly different in person compared to his friendster pics.  and he was just a few inches taller than me which was good.

overall, i think it was a good date.  i had fun.  it wasn't stressful. i wasn't pressured to think of the next topic since he was very spontaneous. 

he texted me that he also had fun and he wants to know me more and to spend more time with me. o di ba? baka masundan pa. haha!
