There i was standing on the edge of a 35-storey building.. after i have pulled enough strength to commit to the 5-second freefall, i closed my eyes, spread my arms and leaned forward.. Then, at that instant, my life flashed before my eyes.. i realized that i have a wonderful life going.. but, it's too late! waaaaaaaaaa!! i screamed as i begin to plunge to my death! falling... falling.... BLOG!! awts!! >>just one of the crazy thoughts inside my head.. want to know the rest? read on.... ... .. .

Processing Executive (part one)

THE APPLICATION
After exactly a month of 'agyagi', i finally signed a contract with Honghong Shang-hai Banking Corporation (HSBC)

It all started more than two weeks ago when i attended a friend's bday party.. He is meo, an HSBC employee as well.. He encouraged me to apply in HSBC. The following Monday, i did. the application process was very traumatic... eheheh..
i was bombarded with a lot of questions.. and that was the very first longest instance that i spoke plain English non-stop! I had a total of 4 interviews and two exams.. the first exam is about english usage and grammar while the second one was encoding.. the worst interview was the second one. i took me almost an hour answering questions about anything regarding just about anything she can think of...
the last interview was actually the most enjoyable.. when the interviewer asked me where im from, she was surprised by my response, because she is from bicol too. not just bicol but the same city.. we live in neighboring barangays.. she was there to let me sign my contract.. yeah! contract!! it was actually not the contract with HSCB but a contract that i will undergo a language training, especifically American Accent Training.. We spent a lot of time talking about ligao.. and how we are connected by mentioning common friends/acquaintances.. AND that was in bicol ligao dialect, so it was really a good time to untwist my tongue..
The application process was really fast but grueling.. well, at least I passed!! weeeeeeee!!!
