I Hope I Don't Jinx Myself By Blogging This...

... but I seem to be undergoing a rather fortuitous time in my life.

Finally, eh?

It's not that nothing bad's happening to me recently - no, shit still happens; this is life, after all. It's more like the shit just doesn't hit the fan anymore, which is a welcome relief in my opinion. For once, life seems to be giving me a break.

I've been really worried recently about my group's super project recently (yeah, the integrated paper for three 3-unit classes: QMT 129, POM 105, and L&S 125) because we haven't started on our first output yet, which was due two weeks ago. Actually, fine - we don't have a company to audit yet.

So there, I was working on my POM WAC 1 in Starbucks last night, when I got a call from Sir Johnny:

Sir: Jonat, do you have a company for your superproject already?
Jonat: Yes sir, I've already talked to my mom and it looks like the semiconductor company she's working for seems interested in having us audit them.
Sir: Ah, sayang. I have a company here looking for someone to do some consultancy work for them. Do you know of any other groups in your batch who still don't have a company to work for?
Jonat: I don't think so, sir. Why?
Sir: This is from the management of a resort in Cebu who's willing to fly a group of students in absolutely free, at least twice. They need it that badly.
Jonat: WHAT!? SIR KAMI NA LANG KAMI NA LANG! I'll talk to my groupmates.
Sir: Yes, you should do that. Contact me if you make up your mind.
Jonat: [I almost said abso-fucking-lutely] Absolutely! Thanks sir!

And there - I'll be flying to Cebu at least twice this sem. Fuck my Monday morning P.E. classes, right? Cebu, here I come baby. I missed you.

This afternoon in my L&S 125 class, Maron gave me a letter to apply for a training "bootcamp" for the Top 25 Marketing Management Trainees, which I humbly and honestly don't know how I qualified for. I mean, my marketing grades were good, but not at the top of my class, and I totally fucked up my group's oral presentation. Maybe it's because I have all these crazy ideas? I mean, all my WACs involved some wacky idea that I bullshat into existence. (i.e. I just wrote a 10-page paper on how a bicycle manufacturing company in Japan should next focus on a program to let consumers Pimp their Bikes. What the hell.)

And to think that I was considering another career choice after graduation because I didn't think I'd be cut out for marketing or sales (because of my rather disappointing experience as a summer intern in a consumer goods manufacturing company). I'm actually pretty excited about this.

That's it for now.

Wish me even more luck :)

Cheers!
