Can you lift a corner of universe?

22.April.2011

Universe, as defined by most dictionaries and encyclopedias, composed of what we see right beside us to the farthest ends of not only Earth, but of the space outside this planet. However, as it was described in A Corner of the Universe by Ann Martin, each of us, despite being part of a broad universe, has our own universe. To put it simply, each of us has our own world being affected by others and which affects the others. In this universe, we are definitely the center. We maybe normal in our own universe and others are aliens, and vice versa, they are normal in their own universe and we are the aliens. However, we are not mere heavenly bodies in our universe that acts according to what is happening to our own environment; we are humans, with individual personalities, who can go against the environment. Being humans, we can invade other people's universe and either be accepted or rejected. Whatever it is, we have the innate capability to see through one's universe and affect it's center, and eventually change it's nature.

Awww...I hope that I said something not-so whimsical there. I only mean to say that we have the capability to see through one's attitudes and appearance, and affect it in our own way. Anyway, I was touched by the story of Adam and Hattie. I don't know if I could meet someone who have the same experience as Hattie. And maybe, I can be Leila, a passing person in that person's life. Well, well, well....A Corner of the Universe is a good read and I get the chance to learn a new disorder, Schizophrenia. I think it maybe similar to autism but not exactly. By the way, I finished reading the book now, that's why I made such remarks.

Rolling Eyes

21.April.2011.

"It's night time already. Day time passed by, but it was good. I spent my day doing tons of meaningful things. I finished my journal, I went to visit a cafe in Tagaytay, I went to a photo-printing shop, I continued my scrapbook, I practiced my photography, and now I am updating my blog."

This sounds nice and good, makes me seemed like a very responsible person. However, those words were the ones that I've dreamed to post in my blog once I've finished doing everything. But I can't, since I've never even move a finger towards the completion of those things. I seemed to always lie to myself. I want to go to mall to cool myself and eat my favorite goods, but I can't. I want to go somewhere nice to practice my photography, but I can't. Why? I can't wake up early and that causes to cancel all my plans. Well, somehow, I think I'm doing something meaningful even though I'm staying at home.

I'm currently starting my new fictional story, although I usually only get to start my stories. I really never finish any stories I made aside from the one I did during high school for school requirements. The story, well, it's about an angel who wants to go to the human world, to experience how humans live and meet his fated master. So far, I only have the introduction part of the story. I don't know yet how it should continue. But I'm planning to have the gates of heaven somewhere above Greece. The country is somewhat associated with the Gods and Goddesses, so I think that it'll be a good idea.

Aside from my story, I also am reading a book entitled "A Corner of the Universe" by Ann Martin. The other day I watched Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, which I find interesting. So, I search for the ebooks of Lemony Snicket. Now, I have the ecompilation of Lemony Snicket's 13 books about the series of unfortunate events. I also haven't removed my habit of reading comics, and so I've already read tons of titles. That's how I am spending my summer. I really hope to find a job soon.

First EVER official Job Interview

13.April.2011

My interview last 11 April 2011, Monday,went quite smoothly. Of course, I'm nervous. I'd be lying if I say that I'm not right? After all it was my first ever official job interview. I'll be getting straight to the point. The first question was "How are you?" I answered shortly, "I'm fine, thank you." I'll just list down the question asked from me:
2. Tell us something about yourself.
3. Tell us what are your qualifications.
4. Tell us about your training in Singapore.
5. What do you expect from the company?
6. What would the company expect from you?
7. How about salary?

Those were the questions I received as far as I remember. I answered them, anxiously well, I guess? Anyway, that was my first ever interview, so I really can't tell if I did pretty well. By the way, the interview was for the food and beverage department of the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in the Philippines. I really expect nothing from it though.

First Job Interview

08.April.2011

I am now a certified graduate, an unemployed individual and an alumni. Everything will be settled in time, after all I have been a graduate for just a week and I am only 19 years old. I never knew that it will be difficult to find a job for a 19-year-old person despite graduating from a prestigious university with honor.

Anyway, today I received an e-mail asking me to go to a job interview. Lately I've been walking around the metro submitting resume to different hotel establishments. However, this time, I was asked to attend a job interview. However, this one is from the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia which is not one of the hotels I've been through lately. Well, I just have to go since it's my first one. :) Gambatte Mae! Ike!
