i'm high. na naman. may good news kasi akong na-receive nung pauwi na ako (at nasa train). pero di ko muna kwento kasi baka mausog. pero ha. simula friday kinukulit ko na si Lord dun. tapos kanina pag-uwi ko prayer granted. love you God! sa totoo lang. napapansin ko. pag may taong nagwawalang-hiya sa kin (excuse me sa term) lagi talagang may blessings na dumadating sa kin. kaya takot na takot ako sa karma e.
anyway. may kwento ako. kasi am looking for a permanent full-time position. hirap ng consulting kasi palipat-lipat. so pedeng kung saan-saan kang state itapon. mabuti sana kung medyo matagal. kunyari 6mos or 1 year. e hindi e. minsan 2 months lang. tapos di mo pa alam kung saang sulok ng america ka itatapon. pag napunta ka pa sa kansas nyan nakupu, goodluck, pag ako yun mababaliw na ako nun pramis. anyway, so yun nga hanap ako. para naman i can have my own place AND makapag-decorate na ako ng apartment ko at makabili na ako ng totoong bed. hindi yung bean bag lang furniture ko at air bed. at microwave pala na nagpapanggap na tv (hehe super jurassic kasi, di pihit). so syempre may i digress na naman ako di ba. eto na ung totoong kwento.
so may tumawag sa king employer kanina. tanong-tanong sya. gano na ako katagal nagja-java. ano technologies ginagamit ko, anong framework. achuchuchu-abablahblah. lalake nga pala ung interviewer. tapos tanong sya, "so how do you find philly so far?". "i actually like it here. i'm fascinated with old architecture and philly has a lot of old interesting buildings", sabi ko. "oh yeah. philly is a wonderful city. not just all those crap you hear everywhere. and much much better than raleigh *laughs*", sabi nya. "raleigh? as in raleigh, north carolina?", sabi ko. "yeah. you've worked there right?", sabi nya. "yeah. actually, north carolina is a beautiful place to live", sabi ko. syempre paborito kong state yun kaya ipagtatanggol ko di ba. hahaha. "oh really? but they are just trees and not much buildings", sabi nya. "you're right about that but i like it there too. if you want nice beaches north carolina has it. you want mountains, north carolina has it too. and the life there is laid back, slow-paced and the cost of living is low!", sabi ko. " if i can choose a state to live in, i would actually choose north carolina", pahabol ko. "really?", sabi nya . "yeah", sabi ko. so syempre dinaldal ko na di ba. minsa nake-carried away talaga ako e. dati naman may interviewer ako na ang pinag-usapan naman namin harry potter and the deathly hallows. imagine ha. a few minutes ago i was talking about my skills, the technologies i used, the certifications i have, tapos biglang nauwi sa harry potter. hahaha. tapos kwento pa yung interviewer na gusto nya sakalin nanay nya kasi daw nagbigay ng spoiler. hehe. kulit.
anyway, balik tayo sa nag-interview sa kin kanina. so yun nga. tapos tanong sya ng ano status ko. so sabi ko h1b holder ako. tapos narinig ko sya na sinusulat ang "needs to transfer h1". tapos tanong sya "so where are you from originally?". syempre sagot ko philippines. "oh really? did you study here? how long have you been here?", tanong nya. "actually i've been in and out of u.s. since 2005 because my previous employer used to send me here for trainings and some other work-related stuff but i came here as h1b holder just feb of this year", sabi ko. "really? i thought you've been here for a long time because you speak very well", sabi nya. "i'm sorry, what's that again?", tanong ko, although narinig ko na talaga gusto ko lang ulitin nya, hahaha. vain! "you speak very good english", sabi nya. "oh, thank you", haha, landi ko. tapos sabi nya "ok marlin. you would definitely hear from me again. we need you to come here for a face to face interview.. linda will send you the details, ok?". "ok. thanks for your time. it was nice talking to you. have a good one", sabi ko. "you too, marlin. bye", sabi nya.
ayun lang.
bow.
