Vertigo’s a bitch. I don’t know what I have exactly (because people said vertigo is just a symptom of something else) but I hate it when it happens.

After the second worst drinking experience I had (see previous entry), the dizziness somehow lessened. But still.

o.0

I woke up yesterday. I was already in bed and I don’t remember how I got there. I noticed I was wearing a different shirt. I had bruises on my left knee, left shoulder and left side. And a bump on the left part of my head. I can’t find my shoes.

San Mig Light beer + Jose Cuervo tequila + Bailey’s = BLACKOUT.

While I was unconscious, people were panicking. They were thinking of getting me to a hospital because when they were checking me, I had my eyes rolled back in my head. At that time, I fell on the bathroom floor after trying to pee, thus, the bruises and the bump.

Thank God for giving me ex-co-workers for friends. I love them to bits.

As for me, never again. No drinking for a very long time. I’ll try to be sober for now.

I’ve been to several interviews but nothing beats this one. The HR person reminded me to be prepared for the technical interview, and so I did. I read a thing or two about Struts framework, about object-oriented programming concepts and Java programming basics.

This was my first technical interview and I sucked. I answered majority of the technical questions with hindi ko po alam (with all the sweetness in my voice). Dang.

But on second thought, saying hindi ko po alam to things that I really don’t know is a good thing. That way, they won’t expect much from me if ever they would be considering me.

Plus, forcing stuff into your brain won’t help either. In my case, I became panicky hours before the interview because I felt that I really didn’t know the things I just read hours ago. So for my next interviews, I won’t stuff things in my brain that I didn’t really experience.

Next interview is on Monday. No webcams. Yahoo.

I lost, for now. I’ll win next time.

I have an interview tomorrow which will require me to go online and place myself in front of a webcam. I don’t really understand why, but I’m still going through with it. Even in casual online conversations, I always decline with webcam chats because I find it really, really awkward.

But maybe the webcam thingie can allow the HR person to check if I’m cheating on the online exam that I will be taking. Hmm.

Still weird.

Another LJ account. Again. But but but here: that blog is more discrete than the previous. The previous account has my name all over the place. Though people would somehow know that that’s me (when their lurking comes to worst), at least they wouldn’t know at first glance. What the hell am I talking about.

The past months of this year has been both harsh and kind to me. Harsh because I’ve been kicked off by the company where I was for two years and six months. I had this surreal and ecstatic feeling at first, but things changed as days passed (because my separation pay is getting consumed little by little). I feel useless most of the time. So a month after being unemployed, I finally boarded the job hunting bandwagon. I’m still in search for a perfect job (is there such thing?).

Fate has been kind to me though. I have supportive people around me which really made feel at ease at tough times like these. Thank you.

More on my adventures in the next few weeks.

Finally, I’m up for the job hunting challenge. I’ve been to several exams and interviews but I’m not expecting to be hired very soon. Just enjoying the overwhelming experience of answering interview questions in English while thinking in Filipino. Not a very good combination.

On other news, I paid the whole balance of one of my cards.. finally! One more card to go and I’m debt-free!

Some of the plans that are STILL not put into action: jog around UPLB campus, open a new savings account. Damn, that’s it? No long-term plans? Tsk.

Summer’s here. And I’m enduring the daily lethargy from the job hunt instead of enjoying the summer sun at this time. It’s like not having the chance to enjoy gifts on my birthday or Christmas because I’m all grown-up for those stuff. No beaches or pools? That’s too much deprivation.

I suddenly thought of not rushing into getting a job.
