there MIGHT still be HOPE O__O...
that I'd get into Unilever, to do my OJT...o__o...
*GASP*
so basically, the story goes like this. After today's interview for the data gathering portion of our thesis (Special thanks to the interviewee. If you ever get to read this, well, you know who you are :D THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ^_____^...but anyway...going back...after the interview)...I ate cake.
...it's chocolate cake, two slices. And then I drank my gatorade propel! And the I went a-fixing my baggie. and placed my wallet on my back pocket. And I put on my mp3 player to listen to the recording I just made.
And then I walked towards the new "south gate" and gave my laptop gatepass (because I left my term pass) to the guard, and proceeded to walk outside. I then crossed the street, while fiddling with the mp3 player, and I got it to work, finally. I was thinking there was something wrong with it, turns out, I just had it at "pause"...XD
So I rode the LRT (ran to it so I don't get left behind)...smelled something that seemed to be like poo on my shoe...but then it turns out my shoe was clean so uhm, that was nice.
When I fiiiiiiiiinally reached my stop, I went down, and walked that loooooooooooong walk to the purple lane. I started thinking of buying a waffle from waffle time...and then I walked walked walked some more, reached the baggage checking area, opened my bag to show me stuffoo and laptop to the lady guard, and proceeded to climb the stairs. All the while I was still listening to the mp3 thingy. and then I walked walked walked again. and then it was semi-too late when I remembered that I was planning to buy a waffle...and so I left that idea and proceeded to walk some more and saw that there were already A LOT of people scattered all over to buy tickets. x__X
But it was a good thing I already had my stored value. So yay! I went la la la-ing (only in my head. i think?) to the card slot thing and entred...and then went up the stairs again...and went to my usual spot near the elevator where the 3rd door of...I don't know which train car that was...but there...positioned myself...and then entered the door, going straight to my preferred seat and sat down. I think I sat beside an old man who was beside his wife. Hmm, and then what else. I think I almost received a bluetooth virus today. because my phone wasn't hidden on bluetooth. >__>...good thing I wasn't able to accept it on reflex... After that I made my phone invisible on bluetooth...but got curious as to what phones were around...so I uh, went to my gallery and thought of sending this far away picture of senator pia cayetano from the leadership summit the other day. XD But then I changed my mind and decided to try sending this funny mp3 instead. But I think, just like me, the person was unaware that his bluetooth thing is open and he or she can be exposed to viruses...so...I just cancelled the sending thing.
After that I did a bunch of random things, and didn't get to fall asleep like I usually would do. Next thing I knew I was already near my stop. I combed my hair. Just because.
Skipping the whole, I saw this and that and I walked a so and so number of steps, I rode a small old-ish jeep, went down when I reached my stop, crossed the street and thankfully was not hit by any 18-wheeler truck or jeep or FX or whatever else.
I safely walked down the street towards the tricycle terminal. There was a man and a gradeschool/highschool girl in a melon-ish colored jogging pants in front of me. And then a middle aged lady came, and so that meant we could already ride the tryke. I was expecting I'd sit at the back, which was fine with me, but the nice little girl sat at the back...prolly because she saw that the lady had groceries, and this other older woman girl creature person (ahem, me) is carrying a heavy backpack. Ooh, it turned out that the middle aged lady is from the same street as I am. She's from that house where there's this guy who always ALWAYS appears to be washing his car lives. My brother seems to be annoyed at that person. ^^; I think it's because my brother thinks the person looks mayabang? I dunno. It's prolly I guy thing.
And so I reached home. Ate Bing was chattering with Ate Melda from next door, and called my attention to them. I proceeded to go inside the gate and into the front door, and Ate Bing just checked on me and asked if I wanted to eat or whatever. I said no because I'm not really hungry.
I placed my bag on the couch, took out my laptop, set it up...turned plugged and turned on the router...and then checked my email!
(erm, yes yes...I'm getting there. That is, if you still know what this entry was supposed to be about)
1 new message in my inbox O____O
.....it had FWD + the subject of one of my OJT inquiries to Deutsche bank...It was...odd
but anyway, I opened it, and this is what it said:
Hi!
We appreciate that you consider our company for your internship.
Inasmuch as we want to accomodate you, currrently, we do not have openings or urgent requirements to fill-in on the department you are considered for. Nevertheless, we will update you on the openings.
Thanks!
Sincerely,
XX

so...that was...brawr. >__>; But then again, I'm glad coz I didn't have to call them myself. XD
I was planning to call them when I got home. At least they saved me the trouble :D
I'm actually glad they replied and told me now. So I could finally FINALLY cross it off my list. *sigh* It seems that OJT positions in the HR are hard to come by lately. I think DB has openings on other departments.
---
Well, after that I looked at the email that unilever sent me last Jan.20..I typed the number on my phone, wrote the name of the person I was gonna look for...stood up, and called.
It rang a few times, and a lady answered "HR"...I said something along the lines of "Hello good afternoon, pwede pong makausap si Ms.Ge-ne-veee" (lol, napatagalog ako...XD)" And the lady answered "This is Gen-eve" (oooh, so that's how you pronounce it! I thought it was like Genevieve-ish)...I introduced myself and told her I was going to ask about the current status of my application...She actually remembered who I was and semi-talked at the same time, because she also said the part about me making an inquiry on my application status. Because it turns out, she was just about to call me. ^^; Or at least that's what she said.
and I said "Oh, oh alright. Well hello ^^;"...for some reason, her voice changed while she was asking me things. I guess she had to be professional, since it's already a business call. She reiterated my schedule...the number of hours...asked me how long it would take... etc, and even randomly said "oh, you're calling from Rizal?" (I guess she was thinking I'd be at the condo or something)...and I said "Yes, coz I just got home"...anyway...
To finally (SOMEWHAT, lol) get to the point...She told me stuff that was perhaps similar to what Ned was told when he received his Unilever phonecall...and that is...well, that they are not really opening an OJT in the HR department right now...but they do have openings in Marketing and Sales, which is what she was sort of offering me.
I told her I'm not so sure about that, and told her about how I know someone (Ned) who was offered the same thing...but our coordinator (Sir Javier) seems to have not approved of it (yata, kasi yung narinig ko kay Ned kanina, parang hindi pa talaga nag-no si Sir Javier...but what I heard from other psych students who have been talking about Ned's offer a lot...well, they told me Sir Javier said no..) since...well...because we're AB-Psych students who chose the industrial setting, we're expected to be assigned in the HR department.
Ms. Geneve told me though, that for the marketing OJT team that they're setting up...well...it's actually related to consumer preference and targeting a certain age group...hmm, they'd probably need researching/interviewing? o__O;...so...it is, in a way, psych related. The marketing department seems to actually be in the need for AB-Psych minds for that project.
She also told me that a former trainee (recent?) who got assigned under the same job was ALSO a PSYCH student from DLSU before...so...she said Sir Javier probably misunderstood...and thought we won't be doing a psych-related job.
*sigh* Well, I think they'll try to work something out. She said she'll most likely give me a call tomorrow to tell me about the specifics...hopefully it gets worked ouuut. ;__;
...and I hope, if I do finally get accepted...I hope Sir Javier would approve. If not. Well, Janna...say bye bye to the chance of getting the experience of working for Unilever.
Hopefully, things work out for the best.
Hmm. If the unilever deal doesn't work out. I hope Nestle replies soon. I applied for the student trainee position last night through jobstreet...they posted the opening for trainee position last Jan.17...hopefully they'll let me know if I'm shortlisted or whatever. And if I do get accepted, I hope I could start right away. Because if it's going to be for around March or June...then I can't take it...since I should already be beyond finished with OJT by then.
*sigh sigh sigh*

This has been a VERY long entry. And haha, hindi pa ako straight to the point. XD
well, I did it on purpose...just because I felt like it :D
I think I may be on sugar high :3

Janna feels muuuuuuuuch better.
I shall end this entry now! I just remembered. I still have to upload the interview recording for Liza. She's got the job of transcribing for now. Since she also has the neat-o transcriber software that I have...thanks to her brother's job. At tsaka, nasa bahay naman si Liza eh :3 Hehe, yun muna division of labor namin? XD Ako interviews...si Abby, mag-tratry na mag-interview din OR get the vital points in the transcript for analysis..at si Liza, transcribe.
mrawr. ABBY AND LIZA, WE STILL HAVE TO HUNT FOR SIR GALANG! Consult! Consult! Sabi naman ni Ms. Seann pwede eh :D
kung kaya sana this week? o__O I'm panicky because I still have OJT.
Liza, remind me about the hanayori DVD. Oh, and you should also get a copy of...*looks left and right*...(nudist NVIVO)...for our data analysis...X3
wala lang :D

I'm turning 21. yay.
yes peoples. I'm turning 21. In a few days. On thursday, to be exact. 1:03pm, January 31. And I'll most likely be spending it at home. alone. tangled in the bedsheets. cultivating my fats. and not having fun.
--inserttearshereplease--
My sister is going to Shanghai. My father will still be in Indonesia. My mother in Philadelphia. and my brother, at work and then home in his apartment. And now because of such and such, I don't even know if Ate Bing (our helper) will be around for me on that day.
but meh. I shouldn't care. I'm a big girl now. erm, not even a girl supposedly. Hey, I'll be 21. I'll be "adult"...so yeah, I don't care. Who cares. >.>;;; Janna is a bitter old haaaag.
---------------
I should go back to DDR-ing. Even though I look stoooooopid. But hey, it triggers the creation of endorphins in my bodeh! (biopsych info, are you still there in my head? did i get that right?) which makes meh happeh! so yay! XD
I should lose the 15-20 or so and so pounds I've gained. phaaat. phaaaat.
--------------
Unilever, if you're not gonna take me. come on. Just say it already!~ ;__;
BREAK MY HEART NOW~! so I can do my whole shakespeare's-hamlet-soliloqy act and get over it. And then start-a-OJT hunting again! Same goes for you Deustche. and IBM too!
...wait, Hamlet is dutch, isn't he? o__o...
...waaaait...erm...wait, no. He's Danish. >.>;;;...DEUTSCHLAND is not the same as DENMARK janna. They're just both letter D. HOW COULD YOU MISTAKE HAMLET'S COUNTRY AS DENMARK. King Hamlet's ghost vvill haunt youuu.
On monday. I shall call you three. And seal my fate. (naks, drama. Yes, envision teh weirdo janna in a princely knightly outfit with the loooong neat cape and fake hottie mustache :D)

PAAAAAAAAAA~ RANOIA!
PAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~ RANOIA! RANOIA! RANOIAAAAA~
I've been googling a lot lately. Mostly OJT related. Now I'm getting paranoid that people are reaching bits and pieces of me in google. It's both amusing and PHEAR-inducing at the same time. because YES, I'M FINDABLE (take that from someone who has googled herself over the past years)! practically because I don't care so much now. Unlike before. XD;
-------
Last monday, I did horrible (read: failed) in my intoeco test. I've forgotten my alge101. --inserttraumahere--
I did fine in the essay parts though. but I constructed my words TERRIBLY. As IN. So I ARE ASHAMED OF MEE. but still, I guess I should be happy I was at least understood.
---
reminder: Bring HYD dvd for Liza. When we see each other again. XD
---
mrawr. I'm so random.
---
Something to look forward to ---> joint birthday thingy with Jazel? :D (still planning) I hope I get the money for it. I'm broke. >__>;
---
I WANT A NINTENDO DS LITE. But I've got no monieees.
oh well, there's DDR
