Update – Desperas ng Valentines

Dear Lord, please make me thin. But if you won’t make me thin, could you at least make my friends fat? Hehehe…answered prayer yan! Hahaha… JK (well, half truth). Anyway, unfortunately, I won’t make it to Eservices because of some work to finish. Maybe next year. I’ll still be going to Manila within the year though, for a bet I lost…but then again, if the one I made the wager with failed to comply, then we’re even! *wink wink*
The school year is about to end and there has been a lot of applications for our OJT (On the Job Training) program in our company. I guess, a lot of students are interested in training with us because

a) They will learn from us
b) They will be working in IT related tasks
c) They will not be tasked to buy banana-cue
d) They will not be tasked to photocopy files
e) They will not be tasked to make coffee for the managers and superiors.

Back in college, when we got “hired” by our respective companies, we all huddled up and started telling each other where we will be heading. I was lucky enough to work for a holding company in Cebu. Puns were of course made for those who worked for the following:

a) Bank – Mag count ng lastiko
b) Water District – Mag pump ng tubig (For those who did not have enough water supply mid march of 2000, I can give you their names…lol)
c) Electric Company – Live tester ng voltage(using fingers only)….*bzzzzz* “Ito, 110” *bzzzzz* “ito, 220”
d) Hospitals – perpetual blood donor

Sigh, good ole days. Anyway, gotta stop here… back to work!!
