Well, showbiz land for the moment. This issue seems to be what’s taking a more larger coverage than any other news in town obviously because anywhere you go, sex sells. Hahahah! I just watched on YouTube this video of Katrina Halili and Hayden Kho who were both dancing almost naked to the tune of “Careless Whisper”. This video is everywhere and last Sunday I saw this interview of Katrina in tears about the video being released to the public. So sad. I am actually sad for her. Her career took a nosedive when this was made public. Actually it started going down when her affair with Dr. Hayden Kho became public. What is more alarming is the fact that there seems to be more video scandals of Hayden with other women. Right now it seems that Hayden has gotten back together with the lady doctor, Dr. Vicki Belo of Belo Medical Group. They were seen in the airport together. It seems that Katrina is the most aggrieved party in this situation. Too bad for her she got in a relationship with Hayden when in fact he was still in one with Vicki. Now her reputation and career are on the line. A friend even told me that the video is already being sold in Baclaran. Wow! Talk about news traveling fast. Anyway, I just think that with this, people would be more careful in choosing their sex partners and make sure your privacy will always be guarded.

Just recently a very good friend of mine gave me a very great and wonderful surprise…She gave me my very first camera, SLR old school using film. It is a Nikon F75. I love the old school feel of it. The way it just begs for a film to be inserted into its body for me to start shooting. I can’t wait to practice out with Z my most favorite model. Here are a few random pictures of Raffy from my trusty old camera phone.

Well I passed the final interview and was then led by the HR associate to their HR room and given this list of requirements for pre-employment. Of course the already staple physical exam was ever present. My tale is that when I got my PE I was with sister troiks as we were getting our salary from our project work… Well we got to the place after being adventurers about its direction and I went through the whole process…urine and etc…hahahah! Anyway, just my luck that the lady doctor was not present because she was on leave so the only doctor available to do a physical was a male one…uh uh! He was a good old kindly doctor who explained to me that he needed to do a breast examination himself because the female doctor was not around. I was quite taken at first but I just put aside all feelings and forced myself to be clinical like the doctor was. He asked me if it was ok and told me that he will have a nurse inside with us to be quite formal about the whole thing. Was I relieved! I have had a dozen PE’s from before and always it was a female doctor who did a breast examination and this was the first time ever that a male doctor will do it. He told me to take off my shirt and bra and just cover it with the blanket that they provided. After doing them, I took a deep breath and prepared for the examination. When he came back in the room with a nurse I was trying to distract myself by talking to him and he seemed to be cooperating. His bedside manner was quite professional and clinical that I did not feel that mortified. He did the examination in a very good way. I didn’t feel at all bad about the whole thing even though it was quite new for me.
So, ladies have you had your breast examined already? This is very important for all women out there because breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death for women. Have your breasts checked out regularly… We all owe it to ourselves!

Hello dear readers, I am sure that you have missed me… I am sorry to have not been able to update recently here because I have been quite busy with new things. As of March 31st of this year my job as executive consultant ended and the 2 weeks before it did I already had an inkling that I was coming to my end in that industry. I wasn’t really looking around but a friend texted me that he needed Operations Managers and Team Leaders for his australian telco account and so I replied that I was interested. He asked for my resume and so I sent it to him via email. After 2 days, I got a text message saying that I was scheduled for an exam and interview on the Monday of the last week of March. Eagerly I took the day off and went to the venue of the interview and exam. I haven’t been through job processes as of late because I normally just go at them one at a time. So, I got there just in the nick of time and then began the process. They started first with an IQ exam. Gosh, I was thinking to myself that what if I didn’t pass. It would be so bad of me. I haven’t taken an IQ exam since like 2-3 years ago. Well, I did pass it after 30 minutes of slaving over the answers to that exam. Then came an English exam wherein you had to continue the phrase to make it into a passable sentence and the one phrase that struck out was “ Your sex life is ___________________”. Talk about funny phrases. I laughingly finished the whole test and was asked to wait for the interview. I got interviewed after like 3 hours or so. Me and some other girl were the last to be interviewed. As I got ready for my turn, my hands were sweating cold buckets…I was kind of scared and excited about the interview. Normally though I do well on interviews but still I could not get over my fear and anticipation of them especially if the one interviewing you is a complete stranger. My interviewer was a guy who had spectacles on and the funniest part of it all is the fact that I was wearing shades because my eye was swelling because of an insect bite. I had to keep myself from laughing as I was explaining to him why I could not take my glasses of because I was worried that he might be distracted by my swollen eye. I breezed through it and was asked to wait for a text from them the very next week. Monday came and they invited me the next day for the final interview at one of their offices and I got interviewed by an operations manager and then after we finished the interview an HR associate was asked to “take good care of me”. After that I was led to an office where I was asked to complete my requirements and therein I got the job. I haven’t started yet but I am excited for a new change once again.

I have been absent online for quite a few days since I was busy with other things…things like change and new beginnings. From my 27 years in this earth, the most important thing I guess that I have learned is that nothing is permanent except CHANGE!!! So embrace it and go forward with life in the hopes that tomorrow will be better than today….
P.S. I will write more about my most recent encounter with CHANGE soon…
XOXO

I have a new route ever since last week, courtesy of my workmate J who taught me that I can save more by doing this route. Instead of me stopping at Coastal Uniwide mall everyday and catching a bus going to Washington, she told me to just stop at Buendia where the crossroad is. From there I walk about 5 minutes and then catch a jeepney going to my workplace and it saves me around 7PHP everyday. So I decided to take this route because it would amount to around 70PHP per 10 days. Not bad at all. I can use that 70 for other stuff. Anyway, as I was walking going to the jeepney stand, I had to pass thru all these empty and old buildings and in my walk an old guy stops me. He is well dressed, not that old and I think he was a foreigner but the biggest stamp that he has on my memory is that his head was actually bleeding. Super bleeding red, bleeding blood and he asked me to stop and look at him while he was wiping it to make sure that there was none left after he wiped it all off. I was backing off as I was looking at him and I was up and about and ready to run. You can’t be too sure these days about how crazy people are and I was just so scared at the fact that he had a gash that was around 4 inches high and obviously needed stitches but that he was just ignoring them and wiping the blood off. Luckily it was daytime and there were a lot of people around to help me if ever…
