Post-graduation Entrance Exams

Say, I finally made myself a little busy these past few days. November’s halfway through and this is only my first post for the month.

November 11

Took the Procter & Gamble entrance (whatsoever) exam. It was an hour and five minutes-long test which consisted of only 40 items divided into Math, Business Logic, and Abstract. To think that the number of items is only small is such a simple task. However, the time allotted was still not enough for it. The second part is just too time-consuming. Luckily, as the results came out after only an hour, I found out that I passed. For now all that’s left is to wait for the results of the online assessment test which we did the following day.

The jeepney we were riding on our way to the city that day almost crashed or something. The driver was maneuvering it too fast that when he suddenly stepped on the brake a disturbing screeching sound was all over the place and we were all dragged towards his direction and moments after the smell of rubber entered our senses. Talk about Final Destination, if it pleases you, my friend. I actually thought that someone was hit.

Anyway, after hearing the good news after having lunch at the nearest Jollibee, we went to the movies and watched “Eagle Eye”. It’s an amazing movie and I recommend it to everyone.

November 14

Round 2 of An “Antique” Fiesta but this time we did a sleepover. We arrived at the place late in the afternoon and after dinner went to the fair (perya), our other classmate’s house, and finally to the barangay “‘auditorium” (yes, that’s how they coolly call the place where programs are held). Although it was pretty awkward to join in the disco because of the bright lights and, err, obsolete music, I just had no choice but to have fun like the others. We went home at around two in the morning after a fight between two guys was brought up. I was waken up at five early in the morning because of a band apparently rounding the place. I later knew that it’s a tradition of some sort and that it serves the purpose of waking the people up. Well, it surely accomplished its mission on me.

The CSC Professional Level exam was tougher than the Subprofessional which I took last year. After going out of the classroom I was like, “What did just happen?” There is absolutely no way that I’ll pass that exam! I still had a hard time doing some of the Math items and the vocabulary part was just too alien.

One Mom and Three Dads Eugene

I wasn’t able to watch “Three Dads and One Mom” in ABS-CBN tonight because my sister arrived from work and I found myself busy accommodating her browsing some music in the laptop and watching our niece sing and dance. As a sort of compensation, I once again browsed the Internet about the series. I stumbled upon Eugene’s (who plays Lisette, the lead female character) Wikipedia page and, to my great surprise, saw a Tagalog title (the title of this post) in her Filmography. It’s scheduled in 2009 and will be produced by Double Vision. I cannot deny the fact that it got me excited, given that Eugene is such a pretty girl. Who could his leading man be? It couldn’t be Jericho Rosales (who’s already made it to Malaysia with Carmen Soo) again, right?

We will have to cross our fingers for this one! :angel:

I’ll also show you a sweet dream next night. ▼
