job interview messed up

Interviewer: Ok, Miss Doby, there is only one rule in this interview. You have to speak in english all throughout this interview.
Me: Alrght, sir.

That was the second line I heard from our interviewer in Meno Gaia after I greeted him a good afternoon. Cool voice and awesome accent, I got nervous that I might stutter and give him a dead air in between my sentences. OMG! Why can't I be talkative? I hate my silent-type alter ego. Why can't I be as talkative as in writing?!

And so, the interview went on. We reviewed some points in English subject: the parts of speech, subject-verb agreement, verb tenses and definition of terms. We also did a one-line translation from Visaya to English and some identification.

Then, the most critical question in interview (I think) is when the interviewer asked me that "tell me about yourself" question, "how did you know that this company is hiring?", and other interview questions I read in the internet.

And I finally went through unscathed. Though some of the questions were answered wrongly, I think I can pass the interview. Though I stuttered a bit and said "aah's" and "uhm's", I think I constructed the sentences correctly. And though I looked so tensed yesterday, I somehow put on my charm while holding my hands tightly, hoping I can make it :D

After the interview session, along with Mathew and Lea, we went straight to G.Mall to relieve our stress with pizza from Greenwich and some ~~cute~~ service crews *u*

P.S. Thanks to Mathew for this sweet treat :D

and there is a new computer table.

AWESOME!

pretty sure their eic is ~~O.C.~~ when it comes to cleanliness.

the ex-senior clarionets (batch 2010, i mean) were ~~not putting much effort~~ to maintain this office's cleanliness.

my salute goes to all new senior clarionets and newly hired staff.

OFFICIALLY UNEMPLOYED

You read and saw it right. I just graduated from that school.

The commencement exercise was held in Central Bank of the Philippines, Davao City

I, Doby Angela Torres, a graduate from Davao Doctors College with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing, hereby announce in the blogosphere that I am officially unemployed. I will definitely find time to work on my exhibit forms and try my best to pass the board exam this coming December, 2010. Once I endured it, I promise myself to find a hospital which upholds the ideal standards of the nursing procedure so as not to spoil whatever was learned during the college days. I will also consider the salary, of course.

The atmosphere is filled with mixed emotions. Bliss. Anxiety. Disappointment. Euphoria. Nostalgia. Fear. You mention it, we felt it.

If you ask me how's it going? I tell you, it's not that exciting. Why? Here's a short list:

I'm no longer a student. That means, me no longer have to go to school. That means, me no longer have allowance :((
I'm no longer a student. And that also means, I have no more direct access to Clarion office. Keys will be surrendered to the SPS office... BOO!!!
I'm neither a student nor an employee/employer.
My beau will go back to the boondocks a day after this event. And he will come back not so soon enough.
I seemed to be more pressured than before. They put on higher expectations on me.
Everything is different right now.

See. Graduating really is not the end. It is the start of my calvary.

2nd to the biggest event

DDC's 34th PINNING AND RINGHOP CEREMONY

Hooray to Batch 2010 for making it this far.

Even though some of my batchmates will not be able to march tomorrow in graduation, they deserve my Kudos!

And this was pinned to me this morning during the ceremony....

Proudly wearing this pin and (not my) college ring.

~~I do look matured here... BOO!~~

KUDOS to me and my batchmates...

Graduation tomorrow!

I will definitely miss almost everything about college.

More kudos!!

I just pray that my fellas here will allow me to go on a night life celebration after graduation.

And oh, I want to spend some final moments with my boo.

I'm gonna miss him after the ceremony tomorrow.

i have a secret

And it's not a secret anymore.

Sometimes I really wish I am insane right now. I particularly needed the disorder of an anorexic.

Yes, friends... I wanna be anorexic.

And I want it to happen right now.

photo from here

I've been worrying on how I am gaining weight every day. I'm planning on a diet but it doesn't work cuz my lola cooks so good it's hard for me to resist to want more. When in school, I can't maintain the diet because I think I'm too stressed out to eat less. I've been wondering why some people who gobble large piles of food than mine still remain their figure? I know it's because how fast their metabolisms work, but why not mine? Why can't my metabolism work as normal as theirs?

I envy those girls who can wear any dress and fits them just right. My friends/classmates where sort of chubby but their boobs looks larger than their tummies which gave them a slender look.

During lunchtime just this afternoon, I was thinking to hate the food so as not to eat it. But it's a sin to hate food. So I ate it instead *silly me*.

SO here's the plan:
a. Be anorexic and go for the desired waistline and weight.
b. After reaching the goal, go eat lots of fruits for maintenance. and oh, don't forget the veggies. *yech*

~~AUGH! THIS IS SO PATHETIC!!!~~

Another option: slimming capsules. and enroll myself to aerobics class. *pricey*
