With Crossed Fingers
Okeiii. I know I promised to blog the next day but I bet you know by now that I don't keep my promises much. *sigh*
But now, I won't let anything come between me and my lamentations. Though what you are about to read is not much of a lamentation, rather somewhat like a giggly high school girl's diary entry on her first kiss.
No, this is not censored.
-------------------------------
I just finished taking a bath yesterday at 630pm when my phone played Ni Yao Te Ai [cheezy, I know]. I had Jane answer it since I was still wiping dry. She let out a shriek and said the magic words that unleashed the long-buried giddy side of me. "Floi! Hulaan mo kung sino! PeopleSupport!" [Floi! Guess who's calling! PeopleSupport!].
I dropped everything [which includes a deodorant and my towel] and ran to get it. I was completely caught off guard, literally. There I was in my naked glory being interviewed by Ms. Mia from PeopleSupprt. A very professional first aquaintance, I must say. If she only knew, she wouldn't have given me any second thought and rejected my application right then and there. Lolz. But, I'm proud to say I quickly regained my composure [still with nothing on] and handled it well.
After the call [still in my birthday suit], I jumped around the room like a cheerleader on a championship game. I sneezed and realized I'll catch a cold and not be able to move on to the next step of my application if I don't get dressed soon.
I shared my joy with Jane and she joined me in my victory dance when a realization struck us at the same time. Ms. Mia scheduled my exams, etc. the next day which happens to be today! At 930 in the morning!
We were bombarded by a gazillion questions. What will I wear? Where is Robinson's Summit Center in Makati? Will I be able to get there on time?
Needless to say, I spent the whole night worrying, which is not surprising. Imagine being informed less than 24 hours beforehand of the biggest event that will make a lot of difference in your present life.
I had Jane wake me up at 5am but it seemed I wasn't the only one excited about this. It turned out she didn't doze off until a little after 4. I myself didn't even realize I have already fallen asleep until I
There I was, all executive-ly looking in my corporate attire. Draw me in your imagination: sleeveless polo, black collared overcoat, black slacks, mum's deadly pointy black leather closed-toe stilletos which I've coveted since she bought them, pearl teardrop earrings, my hair neatly secured in a low ponytail and light virtually-not-there make-up.
While waiting for a jeep, it drizzled. I would have been pissed off for the rain on what I now pertain to as my perfect day since... forever! But, I saw it as God's way of saying "Relax, Floi, I'm with you all the way." God literally showered me his guidance!Ü
We reached the building and I only found out then that my ID is missing. It never left my wallet so I was confident it would be there but it wasn't. Someone played a cruel joke and took my one and only
Jane and I planned to meet up in G4 at 12noon since she wasn't allowed in the building. And I took the elevator to my salvation [located in the 32nd floor].
The rest is well... censored. He he he. To give all those aspiring eReps out there some challenge! But, I have to admit, their written grammar and reading comprehension exam was not like any I've taken before. It did require thorough contemplation. You could just imagine how surprised I was when Mr. Exam Proctor announced that I aced the test. I, Marie Fleurdelis Pablo, a college undergraduate aced the hiring exam of one of biggest call centers in Makati, or perhaps the world. Excuse me, I am not bragging. Well, maybe a little. No, not at all. I am not yet in the position to brag. [Don't jinx it, Floi.]
And, here I am, wishing the next three days would just disappear into the abyss of history and I'll be receiving the judgement call.
Den-de-de-den-den-den-den-den. Drum roll. Until the call.
Keep your fingers crossed!
