My friend and I were both called by ABS-CBN for an interview. Mine was scheduled for a Thursday while hers was scheduled for a Tuesday, the next week. She wished me luck and made me promise to tell her the questions and everything after. My interview didn’t go well. There were two questions that I think lost me the job, “What is the biggest project you’ve handled?” and “What kind of work do I NOT want to do?” Well, I couldn’t think of anything too impressive at the moment so I said something lame for the biggest project question (but it wasn’t SO bad). I KNOW my answer to the latter question was WRONG. I said clerical work, which is basically the kind of work given to interns anyway. I said I wanted to learn and be exposed. I honestly don’t know what I was thinking when I answered that. Oh wait, yes I do. My other friend just told me that day that he didn’t apply for ABS because he heard that’s the kind of work they gave. It stuck to me, I guess (stupid, I know). I was told to wait for their call until Friday the next week. According to my interviewer, they were going to deliberate Wednesday next week since they had SO MANY applicants. If I don’t receive a call, that means I’m rejected and I can apply next year (right… sure, I will). If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from IO class, its that “we’ll call you” means they most likely won’t… and they didn’t. It was fine, I completely understand why they didn’t accept me. I was still sad for a couple of days but I got over it soon enough.
I still told my friend the questions so she could prepare. Her interview came and she was accepted on the spot. Good for her! Now, I would have been happier for her if she got the job because she actually did well (better than I did) on the interview, but I couldn’t say that. Apparently, they didn’t ask her any of the questions they asked me. It was the first thing she texted me. She even prepared for those questions but they only asked her stuff from her resume, nothing that required much thinking. The interviewer even made small talk with her (my interviewer was completely serious). She was told that she could start next week. She had her medical exam right there. I told my dad all about it on our way home. He then gave a long speech about not getting discouraged because it was just one job, it was only for practicum, and I will definitely be able to get an even better job than that. Sometimes, it’s just about luck. He said I shouldn’t be jealous. I started to cry because I know he’s been trying to get a job since last year and nothing has been working out. Since I didn’t wanna show him I was crying, I couldn’t explain to him that I WASN’T jealous. I wasn’t even sad anymore. In fact, I’m glad I didn’t get the stupid job pala. My friend said she’ll be doing psych reports, conducting interviews, and scoring tests (can I just say, Psych Testing class was traumatic). They don’t even give allowances. I was just really pissed because it was so unfair!! It was like they never even gave my friend a chance to fail, when I was given all of it. So that’s how it works with companies.
To end this post, I just want to say… thank you ABS-CBN for reminding me why I’ve always hated you.

I saw Linda and Jieriel in the Studio 23 livestream earlier talking about it. Someone told me about an hour ago that Linda actually said to Robi that he’s a LIAR. Any truth to this? It was bound to happen sooner or later anyway. Robi and Josef have been too obvious. They talk too much about their friendship and all their stories have to involve each other that it’s too forced already. They were starting to sound inconsistent as well. They also really awkward most of the time. They should have just acted more naturally rather than exaggerating their “friendship” so much (they seemed more like gay lovers than best buds). So yeah, they’re screwed and they’ll go hungry next week. Thanks Linda!

The title has gotten even longer, eh? Honestly, I hate all the twists, innovations, and manipulations they keep doing in BB, but I will still watch this because the whole idea of putting together a bunch of HOT people in one house and watching them interact, is super interesting. I just have to admit it. I want classic and simple PBB.
So many hot guys! My favorites are Robi and Josef (Ateneo and La Salle boys). I love their secret task. I think Robi looks a lot like KevJumba (from YouTube), whom I love. I like all the guys actually. I dislike some of the girls though, for judgmental reasons that I don’t want to mention cause it’s just mean. I like Nicole though, she looks nice, pretty and she has class (at least she really seems like she does).

I just wanna say that the subtitle, “The Original,” sounds defensive. Hahaha! No, I am not bashing the Taiwanese Hana Kimi, I happen to like the show as well. In fact, I really LOVE Jiro Wang. Haha! Really, I do! He’s so cute in his own way… and funny, and talented, and more. I love Wu Chun because he’s hot. The show’s SUPER FUNNY. I do wanna bash ABSCBN because I hate them now (something happened, I might explain later). I’m happy they got the Taiwanese version while GMA got the Jap one. I’d be disappointed if it’s the other way around. I’m also glad that they have different time slots. At least, everyone can watch both shows and not have to fight over it. I mean, why do we have to decide to like one more than the other when we can watch and LOVE both? I watched both today (yes, even though I hate ABS) and I really enjoyed myself. So why don’t we all do that?

To be honest, I started watching because of my ongoing Eigenmann family fixation. Sid Lucero, whose father is Mark Gil, is in Kung Fu Kids as the Krung guy. He’s my current fave, he kinda resembles Yamada Takayuki (hot Japanese actor). I think I mentioned I like the good boy, kind-looking type. And Sid’s also such a great actor.
I’m enjoying the show naman. I love all the cute kids! Especially Chubbs and Lem!! And all the kiddie love teams… I’m trying to ignore the bad special effects. It feels kind of slow paced as well. I want to see the kids become a team already! Oh and it’s cute how they gave Sid’s character a love interest (with kissing scenes and all) in the past but then why does it have to be Mariel Rodriguez?! I’m sorry but I really dislike her.
