Week-ness

This week has been an eye opener for me because before I thought applying for a job is very easy but when I tried to apply for a position since Monday without a backer, I found it very difficult like the company would have to consider a lot of things before accepting me!!!

I really hate the fact that I'm now in the bracket of unemployed!?

Well, I'm still hoping that I'll be employed soon!!!

Moreover, I already got a chance to watch the movie Angels and Demons! I have to admit, the sequence and cinematography of the movie is better than that of Da Vinci Code!!!

C'est la seule vertu qui fait la différence."

("All men are equal; it is not their birth,
But virtue itself that makes the difference.")

Hopeful

Finally. I'm going to Manila City Hall to meet Hon. Ernesto Isip, Jr.!!! Hopefully, I'll go home with a smile on my face and an announcement that I am hired!!!

1st day after graduating

I really felt GREAT!!!

knowing that I'm already graduate

and

now I also got my degree!!!

Already Graduated!!!

Finally, I already graduated from my beloved alma matter Polytechnic University of the Philippines obtaining the Bachelor's Degree in Political Science with an option of Public Administration and Governance (BPAG)!!!

I thought I will be late for the commencement exercise because I woke up very late!!! Imagine, our graduation started at 8:00 in the morning!!! We planned that I will curl my hair but due to time constraint I decided just to straighten it using the hair straightening iron to save time.

I together with my grandparents (unfortunately my brother weren't able to come because he's not feeling well) arrived at the World Trade Center in Pasay around 7 a. m. The entrance hall was filled with so many students, it is as if were the fish inside the can of sardines!!! I parted with my grandparents because the entrance of the parents and the students are different. I saw Ana in the entrance and proceeded to the hall immediately!!! There, I saw our classmates and we do some photo sessions (luckily, the guard didn't confiscate my phone because cellphones and cameras are prohibited!!!).

The program went well and very smoothly! The guest speaker is Honorable Arthur Yap, the current secretary of the Department of Agriculture, he also recieved the honoris causa and the confirment of having the degree of Doctor in Publ;ic Administration!!!

While singing the P. U. P. hymn, Jezaline Clemente, the president of the Political Science Society (PSS), classmate and a good friend of mine called us and said her congratulations. Unfortunately, due to her sickness she were'nt able to come but because she called us I got a chance to ask about her condition and I'm glad to hear that she's getting better as time goes by.

After the commencement exercise, We also had another photo session and I got a chance to congratulate and say formally my farewell to everybody. Then, immediately we went home and eat our lunch prepared by my relatives!!!

I would like to thank:

@ Ate Chai - for helping me put my make up!!!

@ Tatay Santos - for the money he gave us to buy food!!!

@ Nanay Gaya - for the wallet

@ Ate Bebelot - for the bag

@ Ate Inday - for preparing the food

@ Ate Eva - for the preparations

@ And to all my relatives - for their help

graduation rehearsals

I enjoyed the graduation rehearsals earlier in World Trade Center in Pasay City.

The rehearsals started very late instead of starting at 7:30 am they started at 9 am, that's why the rehearsals ended very late.

Baccalaureate Mass

I really can't imagine how many fourth year graduating students Polytechnic University of the Philippines (P. U. P.) this Friday in Philippines World Trade Center in Pasay City. I already got the taste of the humongous number of graduating students early this morning by attending the Baccalaureate Mass, even the gym can't hold the thousands of students inside, you can even see some students standing and sitting on the ground floor while attending the mass. This is just a sign that P. U. P. caters a lot of student despite the fact that the government gives a small amount of budget to the university.

Another thing is that my Grandfather just came back from his work in Subic!!!

Tomorrow is going to be our rehearsal for the commencement exercise and the next day will be the Graduation Day!!!

Clearance

A lot of things happened this past few days like our thesis is now finally accepted by the department which leads to the signage of Dr. Melly Paraiso, Dean of CEFP in PUP, in our groups clearance papers, followed by the signage on my clearance of the Legal Office and Internal Audit.

I finally can say that I will graduate this coming Friday in the World Trade Center in Pasay City because I already got my toga and entrance tickets!!!

Sadly, two of my friends had an argument this morning. I do hope they will reconcile as soon as possible!!!

I would like to thank Romina Berja for accompanying me in buying my shoes in SM Centerpoint Yesterday!!!

Filipino Pride

Just as what I thought so,

Manny "Pacman" Pacquio,

a Filipino and the boxing well known pound for pound fighter,
