Hmmm I think I pretty much did nothing. Haha oh, I went back home to Paranaque after the long, lazy and fattening weekend in Greenhills--damn it I need to keep up my weight goal! So I dropped by UST to pick up my tita who works at the Cancer Institute (she's an oncologist) and I spent nearly two hours singing my lungs out within the comfort of my car (technically it's not mine but for that two hours it was)--thank god the windows were tinted. Or else people would've noticed the lunatic inside pretending she was the star of a broadway musical--and the only female member of BSB (yes I was quite the fan!!!). So this is what sheer boredom does to people. Makes them go cuckoo. Wednesday. Rushed from one interview to the other. I already got an offer from my backup. They even raised it when they heard I was still deciding between them and GM. As in I was pleasantly surprised. They raised my asking salary. As in WOW. And the manager promised to make me an Account Director after only a short period of time--depending on my performance, of course. Backup is not really a PR agency. Rather, they're into mobile entertainment and they're developing a product and they want me to help market it. They're developing a product and the launch will be on December so they're in immediate need of people. I was flattered by one of the guys who interviewed me--I actually resisted him at first because he was so cold and a bit on the abrasive side. And then he checked out one of the press releases I wrote for Rockwell (old client) and he complimented me on my writing. Haha he's now my favorite interviewer. LOL I'm one test short in GM naman. I think I'll be hearing from them on Monday. What I love about this company is that it's very dynamic. I love working in PR agencies because you get to market different clients and products so you learn how to be versatile. And I love the company culture there! Lots of strong personalities, the bosses are just so...suffice to say, they have OOMPH. I think I'm going to really grow a lot there. Although I also love the idea about being a pioneer member in Backup. They're a big company already but they told me that they'll be making me a part of the team launching that new mysterious product. It sounds REALLY enticing. Plus the package is friggin good man! Decisions, decisions. They want to hear my final decision by Monday next week. I asked to have that extended til Friday. We compromised--I'll be informing them of my final decision on Wednesday. I hope GM offers before then too because I really need to weigh my choices carefully. I mean, I don't want this to be a repeat experience of my brief stint with that-company-which-I-shall-not-even-bother-naming. Hehe. Also had a meeting with other Outside Coaches (OCs) today. It was really fun! We're really making a career out of the tasks and activities assigned to us! So excited!!! Hehehe Watched Balls of Fury today with Wes too! It was a riot. I love love love Christopher Walken. He never fails to crack me up. Haha! And I had a New York Moment today! Kilig! :D Also, I'm going to Baguio this weekend!!! Wes and I volunteered to staff a FLEX workshop for kids! It'll be a blast. And I get to go to Baguio without any gastos. Eyeluvit!
