Out of Stupidity or Curiosity?

Sorry if this is too long... its been a long day e..

Woke up at 8am (the usual time that i wake up every school days)...
Ate a heavy breakfast (~500 to 1000 calories), Took a bath, freshen up and everything... and READY TO GO!!!

this morning, i arrived in school at around 10:45 am then planned to go to the alumni office but i frgot where it is,, all i know is that it is room 202, just dont know which building... and so, i just went to SJ (saint joseph) building because my first class and my only class starts at 11:40am.

Our class was supposed to be an hour class, but our professor havent finished the lesson so she rushed things up and we extended our class of about 10minutes.

After our class, i was supposed to go to the alumni office on which i already know the building. But its lunch break time so, i planned to go to Robinsons Pioneer na, and just go back later in school....

And as i walk out of the university, i bumped into some friends... went to a restaurant, chit-chat, i mean "chikka there, chikka here", and then, napag isip isip ko na... i wont go to Robinsons Place Pioneer na for the ACCS test on Accenture... eh, nagdadalawang isip ako coz ...
1) i dont know anu meron sa accenture
2) malay mo maganda work doon or may good opportunity
3) baka nga CALL CENTER iyon kasi about computer technology
and so, i texted the girl who contact me before, and ask her: "CALL CENTER po ba un?"
she replied, "yes..."

And ..... i have reasons na not to go:
1) im not good in speaking in english
2) dont like to work in a CALL CENTER, (chemistry course ko! bigatin kaya yan)

Sana hindi nako pupunta, pero nung kinwento ko sa friends ko... they said TRY mo kaya...
and so, here i go again,...confused, curious or just stupid?

so, i first went back in to the school and passed the 2 forms to the alumni office...&
i went to Robinsons Pioneer in Boni Avenue Mandaluyong City...
& of course, i dont know how to go there...
1) i dont live by Makati or Mandaluyong
2)i seldom go there to shop or make "lakwatsa"

And, so TRIAL AN ERROR, thats what i did... like in the experiments in the laboratory...
first, i rode a train (LRT) to EDSA station, and MRT to Boni Avenue.... and buti nalang malapit lang ang Robinsons Pioneer sa station so hindi ako naligaw.. but its my first time there ...

Inside the mall, nag round trip ako, entering every store na type ko... WINDOW SHOPPING!!
saw some dress, blouses, and there are many nice outfits... but i dont have a plan to buy even if i have money (on which wala akong money kanina except for pamasahe).

And then, i passed by the office of Accenture, and out of curiosity nga ba or stupidity lang...
i still went inside... and, i took the test... THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE!

the ACCS test has 5 parts... its a sunod-sunod na test (forgot how u call it), which means if u didnt pass the part 1, u cant go to part 2 of the test and so on.... so naturally it would take about 2 hrs for the 5parts to be completed... but if u fail, you cant proceed the test.
So, When i enter Accenture...
WOAH!!! its so nice inside.... napaka high tech, (actually i wanna see wats inside e-coz if ur not an aplicant or if u dont work there, u wont see it)

I took the first part, and its about "computer" something... its a written 30items multiple choice questions. And TADA! you wont believe this, i got a perfect score on it!... and so, i proceed to the second part on which im sure that i will fail it because its a test na will test your speaking skills... the test is like this: you're gonna talk on the phone for 3 minutes in a closed room... you are talking with an answering machine (basta hindi talaga tao kausap mo), and there are two parts:
1) repeat everything that is said (this part is so mahirap, lalo na if mahaba na un sentences).
2) u have to answer certain questions (on which kapag d mo alm sagot, you may answer "i dont know" (so, may mga d ako maintindhan kaya marami akong sagot na ganun)
the one talking has a "kakaibang" accent na medyo mabilis magsalita
And so, after that test, ang sabi lang nun girl may 3 grades daw: proficient, intermediate & not proficient: on which INTERMEDIATE daw ako which means, i fail the test.
So, i cant go on na with the test... and there, i leave the COOL place (with free iced tea, milo, water...other drinks)
i just took the test for about 15 minutes only..
*Am i stupid of taking that exam?! or Am i just curious kung anu ung exam sa Call center?

*Next time, I wont try any test sa CALL CENTER anymore...
(grabe, buti nalang d masydo BANO english ko...)

But, before i leave Robinsons Place Pioneer, medyo little tour doon and WINDOW LOOKING
then, its early pa naman and nasa may mandaluyong narin naman ako, so... bigla ko naisip na i have a brainbench exam on HP (Hewlett Packard) scheduled at 3pm sa Ayala Avenue Makati City...(on which parang nadaanan ko na sa isang MRT staion before going to boni Avenue)...

So, i left Pioneer, rode a bus nalang to Ayala kahit d ko talaga alam kung saan ang Ayala and im not familiar sa place (tuloy parin ako, tapang noh? d takot maligaw!).
Upon arriving a place na medyo many vehicles, many people.. at nakita ko un road sign na Ayala Avenue na..kaya patingin tingin nako sa place... and passed by Glorieta (sa ayala pala ang glorieta, ngayon ko lang nalaman), then.... look out parin ako.... then, biglang pagtingin ko sa right side ko, i saw "HP"sa ground floor, then i saw the big "R" Robinsons Summit Building kaya bumaba nako doon, and entered the place.. took another exam there...
i thought the exam is short lang na kaya ng 1 hour... there are 8parts yata nun exam (which is online), using there laptop na "not so super ganda"; pero for me, "ANG GANDA NUN LAPTOP" which nahihirapan ako gumamit coz im not used to the mouse thingy... pero as time pass by, nasanay narin ako sa laptop.
    First 3 parts of the exam: super easy kasi about urself lang. then pagdating sa mga sumunod na parts, there are calculations na (on which madali lang un math problems), english vocabulary or relationships ng word (which nahirapan ako kasi ang lalim ng english words, & may mga never heard ako na words), business solving (na meron palang reference doon, na nalaman ko lang nun matatapos nako, at d pa naman pwde balikan un nasagutan mo na, so u cant change ur answers, Grrrr!!).
I took the exam ng mga 1 hr 1/2 lang yata, pero un nakasama ko dun na mga lasallians-they took the exam for 2 hrs yata, late kasi ako e.. pero nauna parin sila natapos sakin.
After the test, pinaakyat ako ng 37th floor, which pinasa ko lang un REF # nun test ko, tapos ayun! wait for the result ng 2-3 weeks pa e... (i wont hope na papasa ako doon)

Note: third picture: HP front desk sa 37th floor; fourth picture: take 2 lang


After ng mga stupid exams/ tests na yan.... rode a bus back to school sana.. pero didnt go back to school na, coz until Buendia -Baclaran yun bus from Makati... so if i go back to school pa, nagsayang lang ako ng money... so diretso nako ride ng bus to my HOME.

Pagdating ko sa house, up until now, tinatamad ako mag aral for our exam tomorow sa inoche3 (inorganic chemistry 3), and wala narin maaral doon... and i tried understanding everything noong saturday and sunday... but there's still confusion on me on some of it.

So, Thats it!

My "Kakaibang" Makati-Mandaluyong Trip!!!

in fairness, medyo marunung nako sa makati-mandaluyong...
At nanghula lang ako kung panu pumunta ng Pioneer(Mandaluyong) & Summit Bldg(Makati)


Mag professor/lecturer na nga lang ako next term.....

*parang VAIN ko e noh... took pictures lang doon...
