Toycon 2007

I'm finally in Grad School!
My first day of class was last Saturday, June 16, 2007- also, the first day of Toycon.
Anyway, I'll be having my MA classes every Saturday.
My last class ended at 6pm. Because our prof enjoyed the interaction.

On Toycon-Saturday, we manage to arrive late. Around 7pm.
We just roamed the place, did a bit of shopping and have met some friends.
On Sunday, I arrived at around lunch time.
Jessica and I planned to do a costrip.
We did Ouran Host Club. She's Renge and I'm Haruhi.
Haruhi Fujiouka is REALLY a girl but was thought to be a BOY.
With this character, I somehow experienced to do crossplay since it required me to
look like a boy. Yes, I even binded my "twins" for this Toycon. Did I pass it? ^^;;
(See below for the pics)

I changed outfit at SM. It was one of the LGF-powder room.
I was a bit shy when I came out of the cubicle. People were looking at me.
I just checked if everything was fine and I went to MegaTrade to buy the tickets.
30mins later, Mikki arrived and soon Jess/Renge too.

Haruhi and Renge roamed the ToyCon. ^^
While Mikki tended her kids who are part of the Naruto team.
My former classmate, Cisae also attended Toycon. It was so nice to see her again!
Jess introduced me to her friends who are part of the Kalye Pinky.
I have also met some anime fans from DLSU-D, both from KamuiGroup and Genshiken.
After a long time, I have met Nix, Maks and Thryza again! =)
Mac told me that he didn't recognize me. And I passed as a guy hands-down. (thanks, mac!) Maine and Dorothy asked for pics. And so did other people too! I was glad I was able to make "Haruhi" alive for my co-fans of the said character/series.
Speaking of pics, here are a few I have on my phone.
I hope I'll be able to find pics of me and Renge during the 6th Philippine ToyCon(2nd day). If you know some links, please refer. =)

Nagi and her WORK.

It's almost a year since I started working with my current company.
I saw lot of things happened.
I got an everyday taste of pressure and politics.
I'm working now as a Recruitment Consultant (I started as a Recruitment Assistant). I work for a recruitment firm.
At first, I thought it was cool.
"Oh, I'll do interviewing. I'm going to talk to a lot of people."
But what I didn't know I will be the one who's going to look for applicants too.
I'm going to schedule them. They would confirmed. Yet admist, let's say, 50 applicants, I've contacted, a handful of ten or twenty would show up. -If I'm lucky-
And the number of candidates would be lowered since when you have them for interview, some of them lack the communication skills/mindset the clients like.

Just today, I have managed that the top people surrounding my station were not around.
I have submitted my reports. All were ready for tomorrow.
Got nothing much to do. And so I decided to search for a better opportunity thru Jobstreet.com.

I made a boo-boo. Someone saw me or got an idea that I'm now starting to seek better benefits and growth.
Tough luck.
He's part of the Inner Circle. As what I tagged them in my mind.
I knew for sure he might use this info, just in case he plans to be on the 'good side' of the Inner Circle.

-shrugs, deep sigh- I'm such a klutz.

Anyway, I'm now saving up so just in case something happens here in the company.
There has been great tension I've been feeling. Not just for me. But everyone in our dept.

Another thing I learned is that I should have saved since I started working.
I'm only starting to develop the habit of saving up.
I can be at ease within 3-6months and be able to provide for my studies as well.

Being a STUDENT again / N95 and my 'rich' brother

June signals the back to school air.
Just like with some of you, I'm also going back to school this June.
I'll be pursuing my Masteral Degree in Psychology.
I enrolled two subjects for this sem. And I'm going to continue working.
Goodluck~

I'm under probation since I'm a new student.
I saw my grade at my exams- ABOVE AVERAGE. Yay! No one got EXCELLENT and most got AVERAGE.

The dean had this 'mind games' on me, which a bit affects me on
being scared with grad school.
She mentioned to me, "Due to lack of experience... I don't want to disappoint you. Grad school is different with college."
That did scare me. Not with how grad school would be different but on the grade I need to maintain for me to survive their program.
ack! They require at least 1.75. That's around 92-up, I think.

My youngest brother finally came home!
He finished his ojt in Japan-Australia.
We were talking and I told him how I love to have N95!

He said, "Dapat sinabi mo para binilhan kita. Meron nyan sa Australia."
(You should have told me so I have bought you. They have that in Australia.)

Huhu.. just look how my youngest brother has more money as compared to me, his older sister.
I'm embarrassed to ask such expensive phone from my brother.
If he had asked me what stuff would I like for my bday, I'd be vocal about it.
But if it's as a pasalubong, that's a different story, ne?
Well, what's more important to me is that my brother arrived safe and sound.
-thumbs up-

Anyway, my new company phone is a Motorola V3i.
It has also a camera and extended memory.
The camwhore that I have of course, I immediately took a picture.
Hm.. I still think Nokia's resolution is better or am I just conditioned too much in using nokia phones?
Since secondary school, I've used a nokia phone.
From 3210 >> 8310 >> 7610.
My trend is that I change phones every 2-3 years.
I used to target phones that maybe expensive right now yet the features can keep up with me and against new releases.

Now, I've given up my 7610 for my other brother (since he likes that phone the way I rave about N95)
and bought a 1600.
