Found a new HOME - Day 1

Hello blogspot! I finally broke out from my lethargy and made another entry. Well, something is finally up with my life again. I have broken free from the boring and monotonous life at home (now that summer classes are over) because today was my first day of internship at 106 dot 7 Home Radio  - Today's Hit Music!

You might ask me, why I chose Home Radio. Actually, I had four choices:

1.) Home Radio - I love how their DJs speak English fluently and their playlist is composed of modern songs. I'd love to learn from them.

2.) Wild FM 103.5 - This station speaks CebLish and because of the medium they use, I think they don't alienate other people who are not really into the very high-end English language.

3.) Y101 - This station also has articulate English speakers for their disc jocks but I didn't apply because of its location. Home Radio was closer to my school.

4.) Killerbee 92.3 - Same is true with Killerbee. I have been listening to their station since 6th grade because I knew one of my uncles was a DJ there. But, I also didn't apply for the same reason. I need to ride a "habal-habal" to get to their station which is in Boys Scouts Camp, Capitol Hills, Lahug. I am not up to those "habal-habal' rides day in and day out.

So, how was my first day? Well, Gem, Jovan, and I agreed to meet in school before 10 am because we had to pay for our nameplates. But thanks to traffic, I arrived in school late. Luckily, Mr. Julius Manahan, the station manager, really didn't give us a specific time to report. Our official log in time was 10:55 am. I have experienced how it is to have my DTR punched in the bundy clock (although I made a slight mistake during my lunch time out :]] )

We had a little chitchat with the SM and we eventually knew that he was the father of Janelle Manahan, the girlfriend of the late Ramgen Revilla (may his soul rests in peace). That's why Mr. Manahan was very familiar. I already saw him once in TV Patrol World during those days when the Ramgen Controversy was the talk of the nation.

Flashforward to what happen this afternoon! We'll we had a short orientation with one of the full-time DJs, DJ Darwin who is going to be our mentor for our 200 hour internship. The way he speaks made me ask, "How can someone talk so articulately without opening his mouth that much?" He's one big funny guy.

We got to share our expectations and agreed on some things. Later, we went to do what Ms. Sarah, who was in charge with the finance stuff of the station.  We verified the advertisement logs if a certain product's ad was really played for a specific time. It was tedious but it was also fun at the same time. We went home around 6 after the rain had stopped.

We went home with an assignment. We were tasked to make a Radio Ad Script for a hotel. This is pressuring me of some sorts because I have to recall what I've learned about making scripts. With my notes missing, I have to resort to the internet. I guess, this is the best time for me to stop and do my assignment.

Talk to you again, next time Blogger. : ]

Food for Thought

            How to spend the Holy Wednesday? Well, I asked money from my mother  so I could buy the Rizal Textbook and do some advance reading. I thought I was going alone but my Mother told me she needs to buy something, too. So we went to SM together. ^__________^
            Fast-forward to the great part! We went to BreadTalk and filled ourselves with heavenly goodies. Just by the smell of the store, I was lured to buy one out of every bread they had. But due to financial circumstances (I'm no rich kid), I had to satisfy myself with less bread T_T. Here were the goodies we bought from BreadTalk :

Mango Pleasure Cup (P68), Bacon N' Cheeze (P39),
Chocolate Mousse (P68),  and upfront is Choco Cream Cheeze (P47). 

My Mom chose this Mango Pleasure Cup because she saw one
family eating the whole cake version of this when we
dined out last Sunday. :)))

I took this Choco Mousse because I'm
a fan of Mousses. :)

         I wasn't able to take a pic of the Choco Smart Aleck because I ate it before arriving home. It was delicious because the bread was crisp and the choco filling was not that sweet which I loved! :]]
         I didn't expect that we had spent P347 only for the seven goodies. I say "only" because if it were from other pastry stores, we could have spent more. This just indicates that BreadTalk goodies are affordable! So what are you guys waiting for? Visit BreadTalk now! Branches are at SM City Cebu and Ayala Center Cebu.

Breaking the silence: Summer Classes and Thrift Shops

         Heeeeeeeeeey Blogspot! It has been an epoch since the last time I blogged (I deserve some spanking for being such a delinquent blogger XD).

          A lot has happened the past few days which were worth blogging but lethargy got the best of me. Yesterday (April 3,2012) was our 2nd day of summer classes. I already knew who my professors were and GOD, they weren't the ones I was expecting but I guess everything will go fine with them.

             During my three-hour-and-20-minute break, I had to meet up with my Mom at Robinson's to do some thrift shopping at nearby thrift shops. I was never into pre-loved clothes but when I got to see how my classmates strut their fifty peso outfits, I said to myself that I could also do with "ukay-ukay".

             So yeah, I went to some thrift shops across Robinsons and there were really great finds there. I bought two shirts; One was a Giordano polo shirt and it was only 84 pesos! I also bought a pair of shortpants worth 66pesos. I was in awe at how affordable the clothes were and I see myself going back to those stores in the future. Will be posting those items soon. This will be for now! Toodles!

Pet Must-Haves

A year or so from now, I'll be graduating college (hopefully). This early, I have thought many times of having pets and I just can't wait to have one ^__________^

I have always loved Labrador Retrievers (also GoldenRets,too)
and I can't wait to have one of this breed. I'm gonna call her "Summa".
You might ask why Summa. Uhm, people always pressure me of becoming
a Summa Cumm Laude by the time I graduate. It's just too impossible
that's why I'll just satisfy them by having a dog named Summa.

Just finished watching 101 Dalmatians (again!)
and I badly want one. Imma call her "Dallas".

I don't want to believe that cats are the number one enemy of dogs.
I want to have a Siamese cat, sometime. Isn't he cute?

Actually, these are only a few of my must-haves after graduation  :)) SAVE SAVE SAVE MONEY MODE IS ON. Yes, I am such a dreamer and I always will be :p

P.S. I don't own the pics :]

GrandMama's 70th

Hello Blogger!
Sorry for being a delinquent blogger. Been very busy with school, but I'm glad to blog again after an epoch has passed since my last post :)))

Here, I made an invitation for my grandmother's upcoming 70th birthday. She doesn't know that we're throwing her a party. I'm pretty confident that she won't know anything despite me posting this online (unless you'll tell her about this which I beg you won't HAHA)

Did this with Adobe Photoshop CS3 :]
The design is inspired from www.invitationconsultants.com

Can't wait for March 3, 2012 weeeeeeeeeeeee

Wake Up

February 6, 2012 is one historic day. 

After taking a special midterm exam around 11:30am, I shared my first hand experience of witnessing a "snatch-ing" event last January 31, 2012. After that conversation I had with Mariz and Reina, our SoAn teacher dismissed us when all of a sudden I felt the Earth move and we were on the 4th floor of USJ-R. Our teacher instructed us to go under the chairs and I didn't have second thoughts while Mariz was appalled about the incident and just sat on her chair. 

When the shaking resided, everyone was going down to the quadrangle and my fingers kept dialing my friends and family. Sun Cellular wasn't even helping; my text messages just can't be sent. After minutes of staying at the quadrangle, classes were suspended. 

Fortunately, Auntie Rodeth and our househelpers were ok so were my baby cousins. My mother and grandmother wasn't around which got me worried but praise God they were ok. Everything was like "ok this strong earthquake passed Cebu and blablablabla" when all of the sudden the phone rang and my grandmother was on the line telling my mother that she's all alone and a tsunami hit Punta-Tisa-SRP ( confusing much?). I hurriedly went to her house and the people filled the streets. Habal-habal drivers were speeding as usual acting as it there really was a calamity (or are they just umi-eksena?? )

Rumors spread about a Tsunami hitting Cebu, more earthquakes to come, and the Buhisan dam cracking. I was like, "OH EM. What's happening?" My fingers did their thing with GMs only to find out that it was only a tsunami scare. Damn those who started this hullaballo. As of this moment, I'm kinda sleepy already but I don't wanna sleep after all those aftershocks that occurred.

This experience has been such an awakening. I know  I haven't been the best example of how a Roman Catholic should live a holy life but I'm thankful that God made me realize how life can be taken with just a snap and how He has kept my family and friends safe. I pray everyone will stay safe all throughout the rumors of more tremors to come.

From:"Mr.Chikabale Mohammed" <mr.chikable_mohammed32></mr.chikable_mohammed32>

Greetings!.

I appeal to you to exercise a little patient (laysho. himoon ko'g pasyente) and read through my letter, I wish to contact you personally for a long term relationship and investment assistance in your Country, i will really like to have a good relationship with you and I have a special reason why I decided to contact you.

My name is Mr.Chikabale Mohammed Office of Auditing and Accounting File Manager with African development bank Ouagadougou Burkina Faso. In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of (US$8.6M DOLLARS) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (MR. RICHARD BURSON from Florida, U.S.A) who died along with his entire family on November 1999 in a plane crash.

I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of ($8.6M USD) to your account within 7 banking days, while every necessary arrangement should commence after I have hear from you.

This money has been dormant for years (let it stay dormant for another year. the world will end on december anyways HAHA)  in our Bank without claim, and I don't want the money to go into the Reserve Bank of Burkina Faso (RBBF), as an abandoned fund (Why not?). So this is the reason why I contacted you so that the bank can release the money to you as the next of kin to the deceased customer (Oh c'mon. That's just bad to claim someone else's money especially when that someone is dead).

Please I would like you to keep this transfer as a top secret between me and you alone ok. (of all people, WHY ME? I can't even loot a 20 peso bill from my parents).

I promise you that i will direct you on how this transfer will go successfully if only you can abide to my instruction. Upon receipt of your reply i will give you full details on how the business will be executed.

Kindly send me this information below to have trust in you that you would betray me. (Uhm... i guess you missed typing "not" after "would")

(1) Your full name...

(2) Your address...

(3) Country.. WHY ASK ME MY INFORMATION when in the first place

(4) Age... you've chosen me to work with you?

(5) Occupation....... You should have known me that much already

(6) Private telephone number

(7) Sex. (No thanks. I'm practicing celibacy)

l will send you my details of this transaction as soon as I hear from you thanks, trusting to hear from you immediately with your contact information (you heard, a'ryt)

Best Regards.

Mr.Chikabale Mohammed

LIKE OH-EM. Thank you for choosing me to do such thing but I'm not up to it. Easy money is an easy access to a miserable life. Not to say that my life is not miserable now, but the degree of it being miserable is STILL TOLERABLE. If ever you find this libelous or defaming, Mr. Chikabale Mohammed, do whatever you want on me. As long as I am not involve with hogging someone else's money, I'll stay happy.
