Brisbane, Australia

Dear Diary,

Good morning dearies! An hour from now, we'll be leaving the city to go to the beach which is around 3-4 hr drive. Yet, I am still not ready. I haven't packed my bags, my new swimsuit is still in the shopping bag, and I am still in my jammies.=)) While ze boyfriend and his brother are already ready to go and will pick us up any time now. LOL This is the part I don't like about travelling... Packing my bags. How I wish I could just bring my whole closet with me. :P

Oh by the way, the other company I was applying for a month ago has already hired my blockmate. This is what happened last month. When I applied for that job, I wasn't expecting anything. On the day of my interview, as I was writing in the log book of the company building, another woman came and asked the receptionist that she has a schedule interview with the company. So as I finished writing my name and other unnecessary details, the other woman called my name with a shock in her voice. To my surprise, it was my blockmate, to whom I never got the chance to be close with. Maybe because she was always not around the class or maybe we are just too different for each other. So we had our interview together with the Australian CFO of the Australian company. It was fun because the the hiring process was a lot different than the usual interviews I have been invited in. After the interview, they told us just to wait for their call and so we did. 3weeks of waiting, our classes ended already then they called me. I thought they was about to hire me but they were just informing me to wait a little further since they are still deciding. I came out honest to them. I told them that JPMC has already hired me and I confirmed which is why I am not interested in their job offer if ever there will be. They said okay and thankyou but a little regret was in the back of my mind. It is only that company that offers me training to Brisbane, Australia. Amazing, right? But I don't know. My heart has always wanted JPMC since I was a sophomore in College.

And today, it is my blockmate's birthday, the woman who got invited by the Australian company, the one who called my name when I was writing in the log book on the day of the interview. I am talking to her right now and she told me that she got hired last week, on the day I told the company that I was rejecting them.

I am happy for my blockmate. :D I am happy that the position was given to her instead of someone I don't know. I am happy that I chose JPMC, because it has been always my dream. Lastly, I am happy because at least we are both in a win-win situation. ;) We are both blessed to have a job that offers a high compensation and good benefits. So to you, Kamille, Happy birthday and may you have an awesome day today! >:D<

Alright, I need to pack now. Someone is also waiting for this post! Hihi. Have a great day, folks! xx
