If you can correctly pronounce every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world. After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud. Try them yourself.

Resignation
After thinking about it since my boss told me to rethink about my career I decided that yeah this job blows! Hay I realize that I don’t want to be stuck in an office from 8-5 or 9-6 or whatever shit. But I still have to try and look for something like that. It sucks to try and force yourself to wake up and look forward to the day ending. It sickens me how dependent people are on money. Because let’s face it we’re all doing this for the money to support ourselves, our family, just anything that’s remotely important to us we will spend money on it. And that’s just sickening. It makes me want to puke my guts out. That you strive hard to make other people rich. That’s just how management works. You manage people to do the dirty work. It’s a vicious cycle. So if I ever plan on opening a business it’s also gonna be like that? T_T
“Jenny” is an icon in DLSU and CSB. He is probably heaps more popular to students than any prof in lasalle. It’s always a mystery how he always has insider infos on school events like exam dates, school holidays, and enrollment dates (mas una nya pa alam kaysa sa students). Unlike most beggars, Jenny is well-trusted by students. For 5 pesos, he will help you cross the street with a big umbrella on hand during rainy days, he will line-up at mcdo taft to buy your food for you, etc.
Sayang froshies can no longer know this one of a kind icon in Taft.(gotten from Facebook)

You might see him as someone who everyone would despise, but trust me, he’s a bigger person than you think he is.
I only got to experience Jenny’s presence once in my whole stay in Taft. A big factor is because starting in my second year, I was already staying in the SDA building. Back in first year, we were still attending classes on the Main campus of CSB. Me and my blockmates went to Red Ribbon to eat. We were all so engrossed at ordering food because the line was really long. Then enters Jenny and does his daily routine of asking for a peso from everyone. She would always say “Pogi/Ganda, pengeng piso”, and then when you give her one, she tells you random news from current events happening in or out of Lasalle and Benilde. It’s amazing to see that she knows important dates of both Lasalle and CSB, from pre-enrollment schedules to finals, even before students would know them.
It’s sad to see him pass away. I got to experience him only once. That one experience would forever stay as a memory.

How many
Now I ask myself.
How many chances do we get?
How many mistakes can we really make before we get it right?
How many things must you consider before making your choice?
How many times must you try?
If you’re asking what’s up with the questions well it just pertains to work. No it’s not about the quality of work, it’s actually pretty good. No, it’s not because of my boss. No, it’s got nothing to do with my colleague’s, They’re actually very nice and friendly, except for those two :). And most of all it’s got nothing to do with the pay. It’s more about me and how I more or less can’t figure out what I want. I admit that I hate having an 8-5 office job. It’s seriously choking me. I’ve always been a rule breaker and it’s getting on my nerves. And I feel like if I stay I’ll be miserable and scared well that’s the downside anyway upside would be I’d learn a lot of things and probably advance in my career.
A career. It used to mean something to me. Now I have no idea what it means to me. Recently I got this crazy idea to be a lifestyle coach. Seriously. I want to motivate people to exercise and eat right, or something like that. But I don’t know. I really don’t know anything right now. I’m so lost to be honest. And I have 2 1/2 months to think about what I REALLY WANT before I waste away in my misery if ever I decide to stay. Question is who should I be working for? My boss, my parents or me? Help! Seriously!
First Week
So I started this week on my first “real” job. First, the insights.
1. It’s scary
2. I’m scared
3. I’m constantly fighting my sleepiness
4. I shudder at the thought of being screamed at by my boss
OK so these are not really insights into my first week haha. But I really am unprepared for all this. I feel like sometimes I made the wrong decision and maybe I should have applied to other companies (Well I still am). So #1, work is scary because hell it’s the real deal. Real people doing real work with a tough boss to boot. So I’m having this fight or flight moment everyday where I want to march away from all of this. As in walk away and find a new place. But suddenly I’m starting to feel that I should go through with this. I’m really scared to be honest. Scared of being scolded when I do something wrong and I know I WILL DO SOMETHING WRONG. I’ll try handling this new schedule and I hope I can adjust to this. Strangely enough I think the thing that’s keeping me there is the nerd in me wanting to learn ASP.NET. Yeah it’s fucking weird. I started reading about it after I finished Code Complete 2nd Edition, which by the way this book totally rocks though I’m not going into the details since it’s 800+ pages long, all I can say is that it’s the most helpful guide for programmers. I’m actually looking forward to my trainings and I’ll try see where things will go from there. I hope I’ll do good. I really do. I’m one of those people that will cringe at the thought of doing something stupid that can embarrass other people plus I know my boss will scream at me for it. Well I guess that’s just part of the job.
