Accent [ák sènt]

I don’t know if how when will I stand the heat of summer season. As years pass by, the weather is getting hotter. Yah, I know it’s the effect of global warming. If people or should I say, if we’ll just knew how to discipline ourselves and how to take care of our resources, then probably we won’t experience what we are experiencing right now.

Alright, enough of that. Moving on, I just got home from Mandaluyong. Actually, it is the third day today of my summer class. I didn’t have fun today. Why? We were supposed to have a lecture on the tenses but instead we studied the accent because of some issues. Let’s just leave it that way. Hehe. In a way, I enjoyed the class today ’cause I learnt some accents somehow. Well, I need to practice more I guess. I know how to pronunce some words but I still need to say or pronunce it exaggerately just to have this American twang. Lol.

Just want to share this:

Betty is pronunced as "Beddy" but you have to pronunce the "d" softly.

Butter same as you pronunced Betty with the soft "d".

Oh, I just want to share this. Haha. If you already know about it, that’s good. But if you haven’t, then try it

I can’t stand the heat that I am experiencing right now, really. I’m lack of sleep again. Maybe, I’ll try to get some sleep. I’m starving. I haven’t eat my lunch yet. So, I got to go. Bye!

Wheww, I thought..

I thought it is still going to rain today. Sad to say, it didn’t. Maybe, yes but just a little drops of it. I also thought that we were going to experience rains and thunderstorm because of the storm “Ambo”. But again, sad to say, it already left the Philippines Responsibility Area, I guess. So there. Today is the second day of my summer class! Yipee! But I’m having this feeling of getting lazy to go to school. You wanna know why? Because it’s too early. Imagine, I need to be there at exactly 8 in the morning or before. Err! And the proximity is an issue here. Yeah, I know you’re going to ask me, why I enrolled there if the proximity is an issue. What else can I do? I wanna learn more. Hehe. I bought shoe padding or shoe cork, whatever you called that for the shoe of my mom. I ate steamed Kangkong [it’s a green-leafy vegetable that is being mixed in Sinigang (Filipino Dish)] during lunch with Red. Oh, I just got home a while. I almost slept in the bus while I’m on my way. Nah, I’m just tired. I’m lack of sleep. Haha! 

Eyebags are getting bigger now. Lol. Just kidding.

I’m going to sleep again. And I’ll make mango shake later as I woke up. Bye!

Yes, it did rain

I love the day today. It’s not because it’s the first day of my English Proficiency class (well, it’s one of the reasons too), mainly because of the freezy and nippy temperature today! Yep, it did rain. Hooray! I didn’t get irritated nor bored. 

So how’s my class today? Well, it’s sort of fun and nerve-wracking at the same time. Although, I knew very well some of my classmates, I still got this feeling of “there’s a butterfly in my stomach”. Haha! Lots of things happened, I mean crazy things.

Oh, good thing about today’s class is that I didn’t eventually forget what Mrs. De Leon had taught us before with regard to Subject-Verb Agreement! Lol. I can still remember it, and I’m having more fun studying and going back to it everytime. Cool. 

After then, we went to Shaw Blvd. station to met up with Domz (Ghert’s Boyfriend). Then, went to Shang to goof around. And ate lunch with Red.  Went to NSO afterwards to get the birth certificate of my brother. I saw Bevs there with her sisters. Then, went home after. 

So there, I’m tired and sleepy. I think my stomach’s acting very badly today. Tsk! It’s the effect of gluttony, I guess so. Oh, oh! Bye!

Oh, well

I have a confession to make. 

I’m starting to love eating and I eat so much like it’s my last time here on earth. I don’t think it’s bad. I’m grateful because God let me eat 3x a day. Sometimes, it’s 5 times a day. Yes, it’s voraciousness. What else can I do? Food is love. Right? 

I still wanted to travel someday. Paris and England is on my top list. You could also include Italy too. I have passion on traveling — beach, nature and historical places enthusiast. And this passion will always be my love. 

Starting tomorrow I’ll be having an English Proficiency class. That would be really cool to me and to my friends. Sooner or later, I’ll pass my interview (take note, with an accent and more fluent. Lol). 

I still want to go in Bambang, I want to shop more for my casual and formal clothes. I’d rather stay with my friends and go shopping than partying all night (well, parties are still my love too, sometimes). 

Guess what? I am now craving for a yummy and scrumptious CAKE. Tsk! I already ate Ice cream today and it’s ube, my favorite. 

Oh, I love him. 

I have to go. I’ll cook fried KangKong. Just for an experiment. Ciao!

A bewildered lass

It’s really hot today and I can’t stand up the heat that somehow makes me feel I’m down in the dumps. I don’t know if there’s really something wrong with me. I am not feeling well today, really. I feel like I want to puke out all these heavy stuffs in my heart. It made me feel like I did something wrong, again. And it really bothers me, a lot.

I really wanted to talk to anyone with regard to this, but I don’t think anyone will understand me because I can’t understand too this sentiment that I am feeling right now. All I want to do now is to have some rest but I can’t. It’s all because of the hot temperature that we are experiencing right now. Dang! Blame it to global warming. Lol.

It’s really been a while since I felt this kind of sentiment again. I don’t think it’s bleaker than before. Yeah, I know it’s all in the mind. But have you really wonder and notice that all you feel is all about the decisions that you made though? What do you think?

Indeed, I am still imprisoned of my past feelings. If all of you just know how frantically am to have that gone stuffs be back again. Tsk! I am terribly imprisoned on hoping. Seriously, sometimes I bluff to be alright. I know that’s the only thing I can do it.

I am still bewildered on some things.

Oh, star, fall on me..

Just glad

Alright! I’m glad because I already have a summer class for this year! Yipee! Thanks to my Mom’s friend who sponsored it. Some of my friends will be my classmates too in that seminar and I’m so excited about it The seminar is located at Shaw Boulevard and they called it “English Chatroom”. How cool is that? Anyway, I like Miss Helena because she accommodates us very well. Thanks for that!

After the registration, we went to Sm Megamall for us to eat our lunch. As usual, Red and I ordered foods in Flaming Hot. We just loved the food there and I assure you that you’ll feel full

I also went at National Statistics Office (NSO) with Red just to apply for the birth certificate of my brother. There are lots of people and applicants there and it makes me feel uncomfortable and kind of irritate somehow. I know Red feels the same way too but he’s more irritable than me. That’s why he went home earlier

Enough for this. I’m tired and I want to take some rest Ciao!

I’m craving for it.

I am not yet taking my lunch for some reasons.. I got hooked up as I saw the Go Nuts Doughnuts site and it really made me feel hungry at the same time. I’m starting to love their donuts ’cause they are more sweet and kind of big rather than to Mister Donuts and Dunkin Donuts. The last time I ate it was last Wednesday when I went with Red at Southmall and when he bought me too.

They are so yummy and they’re like melting on my mouth as I tasted them! Hmm, yummy! And now, I’m craving for it. My bad, I can’t get out of house today. I’ll try to buy and eat some other time They are selling cupcakes too. I don’t know if it’s available outside Philippines. If it is, then try to buy and taste it. I know and for sure you’ll love it. The price is more cheaper than Krispy Kreme Doughnuts but it is kind of expensive than Dunkin Donuts and Mister Donuts  

She already gave birth :)

It’s a wonderful day today receiving good news from Ate Lhar. As I woke up a while ago, she told me that she can’t open the store. I asked her why. And she answered me that Cha-Cha (one of our dogs) already gave birth and she’ll going to bite our customers. Tsk. Anyway, Cha-Cha gave birth to 6 cute little puppies. How cool is that? Here’s a pictures.

It’s really not meant to be…

You wouldn’t know how it feels if you’ve lost a job or you’ve failed on applying for it, not until you finally experienced it. I don’t know if I need to feel sorry for myself ‘cause I failed or be happy because it’s an experience that life’ has given me. Maybe or really it’s not meant to be. Remember what I blogged a week ago? That I’m not yet ready for a job? Maybe, I am really not.

A week ago, I’ve sent a resume of mine to Convergys (hello? I just wanna give it a try) then I received a phone call from them telling me to go in their office for the initial interview. So, I tried. I went there wearing business attire, which I really don’t like to wear in the first place. As I got there, I looked like “weird”, maybe I’m the only one who really looks like an “office girl”. Dang it! Anyway, I just need to love it or else I’ll look more uncomfortable with it. I’ve waited for how many hours, until my name called by this cute lady.

We went to a small office, and then she started an interview with us. First, I introduced myself. Of course, letting her know my background and why I applied there in the first place. Then, she gave us a picture and we need to make a story out of it. So we did. She asked us to wait for a while for the results. If we pass, then we could take an examination. But if not, well sorry for us and she’ll state the reasons why.

Okay, I’ve waited for the results. I’m a bit anxious while waiting for it. Until she called my name again and gave this piece of paper saying that….. “We regret to advise you that you did not meet the minimum qualification for the position that you applied for.” Yes, she stated the reasons why.

First off, I need to neutralize my accent. How I wish I am blessed with this British accent. But it can be develop through speech class. Right? Haha.

Second, I need to improve enunciation. Well, I did not grow up in an English speaking environment. As I said, it can be still develop. High five!

Third, I need to be more confident in expressing oneself in English. Let’s just put it this way, I am not really good in oral communication. That’s why I want to overcome it and develop more my skills in public speaking. When nervousness strikes, I panic. If you’ll just know people how much I wanted to communicate in English, but at this point in time, I can’t. Err! And I’m shy. That’s it. Haha.

Lastly, I need to expound on answers. Oh c’mon. I am not really good in explaining even in defending myself. Why? Nervousness attacks first. I know there’s no reason for me to be nervous. But hey, I’m trying to overcome it. Anyway, I’m really having a hard time explaining because I’m afraid that somebody might having a hard time too to understand what I am explaining. I’m really lack of confidence! Tsk! I need to overcome it as soon as possible.

I am not mad nor hurt because I’m not hired. I guess, I’m happy for it. It’s an experience for me. And for the next time I applied, I now have this knowledge on it. By which I can focus more on my studies. I’m planning to study this summer vacation with my friends in an English Proficiency class You know what? I am more enjoyed in studying rather than working. Hehe.

Oh well, thanks for the opportunity and experience, Convergys! ^__^

GOD IS GOOD. THANKS FOR THE TIME BESTFRIEND. I REALLY LOVE YOUR PLACE, TOO RELAXING AND PEACEFUL.

P.S.

I’m starting to love the chirps of the bird. Haha.

It’s a SOUTH day :)

I’m currently living in the northern part of Quezon City, Philippines. But I still go to the southern part of Metro Manila, Philippines. Isn’t that cool? Haha. I went to Red’s crib yesterday to visit him and spent some time too. I really loved his mother’s adobo. He also told me that I’m lucky because that time his Mom cooked adobo. Oh well, lucky me. Haha. We’ve scanned some old pictures of my family. I’ll post it some other time. We’ve watched a movie which is “Nun”, and I guess the movie bores me.

After which, we went to SM Southmall because his cousin already graduated that time and her mom with his nephew also there. We ate at Pizza Hut, it’s her tita’s treat. I loved pizza. Pizza is love. Haha. I still want Fatboy’s Pizza. Kidding. While waiting for the food, someone called me up. It’s a call from Convergys (one of the prestigious contact center here in Philippines), and they told me to come over in their office for the initial interview. Who would’ve thought I’ll receive a call from that company because I just tripped over my resume to send it there. I guess that’s a chance for me. Why don’t I give it a try right?

Anyway, I went to Fujifilm, and I learnt something about Adobe Photoshop. Haha. New lessons that I’ve learned J He bought a new bag and I’m happy for him. No stir.  After then, I’ve decided to go home because my mom might get mad again if I go home late. Hehe. As luck would have it, she didn’t get mad as I finally got home because I had good news to her. And I think you already knew that. So there, I got home tired but happy. I’m starting to love Go Nuts Donuts. Thanks Red for the time and donuts, to your mom for the Adobo and to your Tita for the pizza treat.

BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIMOTHY
