Updates

Dear Journal,

After some tweaks and tricks, I finally managed to transform my 2-column blog into a 3-column one. At least now the leftbar and the rightbar are shorter than the middle content (unlike the previous layout, where the sidebar was wayyy way longer than the content part). Hehe who can blame me? I'm more interested in web-design aspect of my blog rather than its journalism side!

Yup, weird me.

Actually come to think of it, now that I've accomplished furnishing my blog with three columns, I feel I need to focus my attention to the content of my blog. (Rant: I'm not satisfied with the outcome though, and there are still some points for improvement with the blog like placing a footer, minimizing the cluttered effect of the three columns, and so on, but anyway...). Anyway, it's been a while since I've posted a decent update here (not some StarWars Jedi-wannabe online survey), but it seems I'm always lazy to recount my life on a regular basis while simultaneously transcribing it here.

*** Okay before I even border to the thought of not updating my blog about myself just to prove what I just said, here's a quick recap of my life thus far: Hmm.. just got rejected by Shell after undergoing the Shell Recruitment Day (aka SRD, the penultimate level where you slug it out with the other candidates to get the coveted job offer). Just to give you a picture of the agony, out of an estimated 60+ thousand people who applied to Shell, only 9 of us were chosen to undergo the SRD. And, at the end of the day, only 3 were offered the job, and I wasn't one of them.

According to Ma'am Jenny Tio (she's the cool Shell Recruitment Manager, God bless her), my insights lacked depth daw. Boo. Sayang, but at least I learned a lot from the experience. Wow, Unilever Business Week memories are all coming back to me now! Guess that means I'm back to square one. Hayy, that also means I should call Unilever and Nestle on Monday for a follow up.

The woes and wails of unemployed Atenean fresh-grads. What else is new? ***

Okay, back to my non-updating self (hehe forgive me, kinda in an M.P.D. mode here): So as I was saying, I feel a need to update this blog, but I'm not too "retrospective" in terms of giving a daily blow-by-blow of JSA, or at least on a regular basis. Hence, I've thought about making this a poet-log (hehe sagwa.. parang combination ng two anatomical parts). There are already photologs and story-logs (not sure about the term though) and I of course don't want to be a second-rate, trying hard, copycat (hehe), so I thought of making poems and publishing 'em here. However, this is not to say that I will not give occasional updates about myself; it's just from now on, the entries that will be seen in this blog will most likely be poems - haikus, sonnets, odes, songs, whatnot - all composed by me.

So there. Hope this works!
