On Recollections and Jobs

It's been a while.

Last sunday, Canto Cinco (our choir) had a recollection at the CLC in Ateneo after our mass at UP. I just have to say that people are beginning to notice how different the 11am mass at the UP Parish is because there were so many people. As in the whole church was quite full (which was not usually the case when we sing there). And the church did something about the sound system... as in we suddenly sounded REALLY GOOD. Hehe. Sabi ni nga ni Jomar, yung vocal trainor namin from PHSA, "PRACTICE MAKES PERMANENT."

Anyway, during the recollection, we were asked to reflect on our broken spirit and to pray for renewal... for a new heart. And during the meditation, I realized that I have been far too careless with my friendships, the people I trust and the people I love. So when Fr. Jboy asked us what kind of heart we wanted, I told the group I wanted a heart that is open. One with no barriers, rather than the one-way mirror that I have for a heart. One that is transparent and true.

Enough about hearts. Baka kasi ayaw niyo nang magbasa ulit, sabihin niyo ang baduy kong tao.

Let's talk about jobs and job hunting. Today I experienced my first official job interview... well, first official INITIAL interview. All I can say is that it was quite a nerve-racking experience... especially when the interviewer is SO cute. :) Hay... But I do think I won't get a call back. The job requires me to be willing to work in Sta. Rosa and I just can't because I have my Lola and the Canto Cinco to tend to.

Tomorrow, I have an exam with Petron; another company that would probably require me to work outside Manila. Hay... Oh well. Sayang naman kung di ko puntahan. I just wish I would get a call from either Canon, or URC; if that happens then I would probably be really happy... unless Procter and Gamble calls. Now when THAT happens, and I get accepted... Manlilibre ako. :)

Song of the Moment: Rivermaya - You'll Be Safe Here

Nobody knows
Just why we’re here
Could it be fate
Or random circumstance
At the right place
At the right time
Two roads intertwine

And if the universe conspired
To meld our lives
To make us
Fuel and fire
Then know
Where ever you will be
So too shall I be

Chorus:

Close your eyes
Dry your tears
‘Coz when nothing seems clear
You’ll be safe here

From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Weary heart
You’ll be safe here

Remember how we laughed
Until we cried
At the most stupid things
Like we were so high
But love was all that we were on
We belong

And though the world would
Never understand
This unlikely union
And why it still stands
Someday we will be set free.
Pray and believe

Chorus:

When the light disappears
And when this world’s insincere
You’ll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I’ll scream with you
You’ll be safe here

Save your eyes
From your tears
When everything’s unclear
You’ll be safe here

From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Wounded heart

When the light disappears
And when this world’s insincere
You’ll be safe here

When nobody hears you scream
I’ll scream with you
You’ll be safe here

In my arms
Through the long cold night
Sleep tight
You’ll be safe here

When no one understands
I’ll believe
You’ll be safe,
You’ll be safe
You’ll be safe here
Put your heart in my hands
You’ll be safe here
