to write, to be interviewed and then finally, to pass!!

last, i can't remember when.. I took the TEM(thomasian eng'g media) qualifying test.. and as written above the test paper.. it was a killer exam.. i wrote 3 news article, 2 features, 2 special, a technical, a literary and one freestyle.. and i did it all in 5 hours!!! oh! how my hand ached and my head throbbed after Im through with that.. but all the pain is worth.. I passed the qualifying test.. and thinking that that was all to it.. i could've celebrated.. if only I didn't saw that I still have to pass the qualifying interview.. determined as I can be.. I attended the interview.. first there was a informal interview.. where all of the TEM staff were there.. armed with any questions they wanted to ask you.. and the one to be interviewed is armed with nothing but one corny joke we are asked to prepare.. the interview was conducted on a monday.. luckily.. ralph's PE was on a monday.. so I asked him if he could accompany.. kahit sandali lan.. he waited with me for a while.. until val came.. then ralph left.. I was second to the last to be interviewed, I think.. so.. all I did was wait.. at gutom na ako.. finally.. iinterviewhin na ako.. aion.. some ask serious questions.. like.. tell us why should we get you.. prove that you are worthy to be a TEM staffer.. things like that.. and the others ask out fo the world silly questions.. like.. are you in a relationship and where do you live.. nervous as I am.. I still enjoyed that interview.. kahit xe nakakakaba.. kwela cla kasama.. and mind you.. naka-video pa ako.. habang iniinterview.. anyway..aion.. tapos.. before they let me go.. they asked me to tell them a joke.. corny nga ung joke.. kaya lang.. may kumagat eh.. kaya aion.. natawa cla.. forgot who fell for it.. but his reaction was priceless.. then aion.. onto the next room.. formal interview na.. when i left that room.. i was near to tears and really sure that i would fail the interview.. aba!! na-okray ng sobra ang aking gawa.. pero.. tama naman cla... medyo informal nga talaga ung dating ng iba kong gawa.. so.. iniisip ko nun.. 'yvette.. nagffeeling ka lan.. inde ka talaga marunong magsulat!'.. aion.. pero okei lan.. atleast.. i tried and see.. kesa naman.. puro na lan ako what if.. aion.. Thank GOd!! pumasa naman ako!! and now.. I am a certified TEM staffer na!! yahoo!! last friday nga.. in-orient ako ni kuya jaime.. aion.. pinakilala ren ako sa iba.. tapos.. aion.. masaya naman.. then.. last monday.. we had our general assembly.. parang getting to know each other.. we started with a pillow game.. where you should know the name of the person who would pass you the pillow.. eh.. c kuya genesis??<-- tma ba?.. ung nagpass saken.. if you didn't know the name.. xempre may punishment.. aion.. then.. after the game.. chi-cha muna.. then.. we talked about the different projects of the tem.. starting with the journal.. may assignment na nga kame agad eh.. partners kame ni val.. something about engineers whou didn't want to be one at first.. anyway.. tapos.. meron na ren pinagagawa samen c kuya orville.. fellow ics student at ska tech section ed.. pinagagwa niya kame ng article about latest gadgets at ska.. about eleap.. aion.. dame gagawen noh!! pahirap pa c sir mike!! waah!! 50 lan ako sa last activity.. aion.. tapos.. aion.. i did it!! yey!! te na ako.. pero xempre.. pa-shy effect muna ako.. kahit inde nman.. hehehe.. aion.. =)
