time to be positive...

my last posts have been filled with very infuriating comments on some events that has managed to piss me off... i am saddened by that fact but i am now finally back to my happy mode...

lola nita (my grandma from seattle) stayed with us for three days and it made me really happy. i like having her here.. she makes me feel good about life. she is very optimistic and appreciative. i really like her. she is such a nice person and she told me i'm a good kid.. hehe... i would like to keep it that way... i'm not being plastic, i just like the fact she saw my good side.. ;-)

so my mom and i took her and lola meny to glorietta and greenbelt cause she has not been there since she got here so we ate in cabalen and we bought some tagalog movies and some clothes for lola rommy... then i went to kish's party but i went home around 11... i don't want her too think i stay out til the morning.. hehe..

i'll finish my clearance either tom or wed since i wasn't able to surrender my car sticker last friday...


SIDE NOTE:

I'M ADDICTED TO ZELDA AGAIN... i just finished the dungeon part so i freed one of the lights... anyway, i only play in the morning... i get creeped out at night for some reason... hahaha!

another jumbler

ok, turns out not evertything in men of honor is real...





HOLLYWOOD IS PISSING ME OFF BIG TIME..





HAAAAAYYYY...

TO ALL THE FAKE BIOGRAPHY MOVIE DIRECTORS, I'M INDIGNANT AS A MOVIE-GOER!!!!!!!!!!

i happen to like watching biographies... who hasn't watched of pursuit of happyness (chris gardner)? men of honor (carl brashere [pardon, i'm not sure of the spelling])?

well, i just found out after reading the pursuit of happyness that the movie WAS REALLY EXAGGERATED... i watched the movie for so many times already and all along i thought everything in it was real!! WTF!? i mean come on! put a disclaimer or something! i feel deceived... i'm indignant as a viewer!!

some stuff that aren't true:
1.) he was not part of an unpaid internship! he was paid 1k USD a month during the training program... they also accept everyone who passes the license test... YEAH! SO MUCH FOR DEAN WITTER COMPETITIVE INTERNSHIP!
2.) he was not hit by a car!
3.) he did spend 13 days in jail for failure to pay parking tickets but he did not go straight to his interview after jail... he had a day to prepare but his wife took all his stuff with his son...
4,) his son was with his mom during his first four months as a trainee.
5.) he actually did drugs... sorry... i really thought he was all righteous...
6.) he left his wife for his mistress for the amazing sex and he got her pregnant...
7.) he did not use his savings to buy and sell bone density scanners... he actually made 30k USD a year being a salesman...
8.) he actually finished his work full-time... he did not have to leave early for christopher... he wasn't so disadvantaged... work-wise...
9.) he did not have an appointment with this walter guy who took him to the 49ers game....
10.) the reason he got accepted in the interview is because of his common experience of being left by his girl with the head of the company...




there were a lot more stuff that i would no longer list down...





at first, i thought they only took out the really bad stuff... like being beat by his stepfather and being raped at 13.. for a second there i thought he suffered more... i mean he suffered a lot but the movie was toooooooo exaggerated!!








i mean come on! don't claim it's based on a true story when you jumbled the story!!! LIKE A LOT OF JUMBLING WAS DONE!!!









the movie tricked me into believing that whole movie was true... that was even the reason why i went to IEP... and now i found out that IT WAS SO MEGA OVERLY DISTORTED!?!?!?!? HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO REACT!!!!










it is almost no different from The Da Vinci Code book... it mixes reality with fiction to make it all the more dramatic, convincing, powerful... and what we have is a blockbuster and PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THESE THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!!!!









PUH-LEASE!!!! PUT DISCLAIMERS SAYING THAT THE STORY IS NOT THE EXACT THING!!! THAT HOLLYWOOD EXAGGERATED IT TO DRAW AUDIENCE AND FLUIDITY IN THE MOVIE!!!!!













I HATE THIS!!!!!! NOW I GOTTA RESEARCH ON CARL TO MAKE SURE I GET THE FACTS RIGHT!!!!!!! I GOTTA RESEARCH ON BIOGRAPHY MOVIES I MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT TO BE GIVING ME FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!






















THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!!! I HATE THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hooked up on a lot of things...

ok, i stopped playing zelda for a while... there was a time wherein my eyes turned really red after playing for 9 hours in a day so i thought i should lay back first... and i was starting to imagine twilight creatures in our hallway so i thought break muna... hehe...

anyway, i have these pending books to read:
1.) Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist
2.) The Snowball Effect: Warren Buffett
3.) The Millionaire Code
4.) Buffettology
5.) The Little Book that Beats the Market

i am 75% done with book number 1, 10% done with book #2, 2% done with book #4 and i have not opened the other books.

after watching pursuit of happyness for the nth time yesterday, i thought i should get a copy of the book version... kinda like what i did with the last lecture (though this was not a movie)... however, i could not find a copy in the bookstores so i just downloaded an e-book.. it ain't right but how else could i get a hold of a copy legally eh?

NOTE TO THE PUBLISHER:

please be more conscientious in providing copies to people so you don't lose money!



ok, i'll finish pursuit of happyness first before i finish buffett's books... his story turns out to be worse than the one portrayed in the movie because they skipped his childhood and his son turned out to be 19 months old amidst his job search... so yeah... it's more depressing by tenfold... anyway, i should probably read it already... i think i could finish the book today. i read it for two hours yesterday and i have covered 76 pages out of 370 or so pages...



i'll also watch forrest gump... i got myself a copy yesterday...

no side notes on this one...

he's a tracker... the hunt is his obsession....

ok. i am in the middle of my most exciting hunt ever! well, just take out the exciting part. it is not exciting.


so i went on job hunting a couple of days ago and i did not do that well... things could have really been way better... anyway, i messed up an interview i had with *toot*. i don't think i should name any company.... anyway, everything felt awkward. i knew she did not like me from the start (if you guys haven't met me yet, a lot of people say i have an aura). so anyway, the interview went this way:

INTERVIEWER: what position are you applying for?
ME: i don't really know.. i just went here to give my resume cause my friend went here a week ago for an interview so i thought i should give my resume as well. what openings do you have?
INTERVIEWER: hmmm... (thinking) well, for your background, i think you can be a researcher or administrative staff. are you interested in that?
ME: ok, i think that sounds good.
INTERVIEWER: what is your expected salary?
ME: well, i'm not really expecting much for a fresh grad. and my expected salary would be different from my desired salary... so i guess 15k would be ok...
INTERVIEWER: what if i tell you that most fresh graduates in your field gets way below than 15k?
ME: (oh GOD! keeping a straight face) well, how low is low?
INTERVIEWER: well, it depends kung saang company ka mapupunta. i can't really say...
ME: it's ok.
INTERVIEWER: you're graduating in june?
ME: yes. those who finished early would graduate with those who have summer classes because we only have around 200 or so graduates. it would be quite expensive for us to have two graduations...
INTERVIEWER: I understand. Well, there is not that much demand as of the moment for the position you're applying for... and well, we need your transcript and diploma so I guess, you could contact us in june so you could take the test. it is quite impractical for you to take the test now.. so please contact us in june na lang...
ME: ok... thank you...













and then,













i left the room....





it was really awkward....









and i realized, the interview was not done yet. but why wouldn't she stop me from leaving the room? (even the people i talked to afterwards said i left in the middle of the interview) it was terrible! i didn't know what to do....









so i talked to my sister's friend, Kuya Bong yesterday and he told me how to go about my hunt and how i should handle myself in interviews.... it was interesting, he said you could go for the lion's crawl or something like that... i really learned a lot! so i asked my sis to give him a small token i got for him yesterday as a thank you...









MAIN POINT: life is about selling. AND I AGREE!!!




THANK YOU!






this post is senseless....






AND I AGREE!!







SIDE NOTE:

to the interviewer: i am terribly sorry for what happened. i know you found me obnoxious and arrogant. i really thought it was over when you told me to just give you a call in june.. i did not intend to make any disrespectful gesture... i am terribly sorry. if we cross paths again, i would apologize to you personally...




AND ONCE AGAIN, you probably won't read this, thank you kuya bong! =)



i got blisters in my feet because i walked all over buendia, ayala and makati ave...








in formal attire. WOOT! i have been sending out e-mails as i recuperate from my foot injury...

ZELDA is the SHIT

ok... i'm really addicted to this game... i always get stuck midway though... doesn't say much about my intuition... so i downloaded a walkthrough so i could just look at it when i'm not sure what to do next... MAN! I LOVE THIS GAME!

SIDE NOTE:

ate mc just got back from her quezon trip yesterday and she was really, really dark... for once, i feel like i'm not the only dark one in the family...

Grabe! si dora nasa pilipinas na! hahahahaha! i'll take a pic of her when i get the chance...

so i made this joke yesterday:
ate len! san na si ate mc? aba! nauna pa umuwi si dora! hahaha! *you should really be there to appreciate the wit*


ok, i'll go back to zelda....

fishing....

so it said, it really takes a while and if the bobbler goes down, it means a fish took the bait so hold up the wii remote until it says fish on and just hope that link would be able to reel it in real good....







HAAAAYYYY.... IF I'M SUCCESSFUL WITH THIS, THE FOLLOWING STUFF BETTER BE GOOD CAUSE I DON'T LIKE THIS GAME SO FAR.....




SIDE NOTE:
