Birdie

There was this funny thing that happened during my Bio1 class this summer. haha I couldn't really help but laugh when I get to think about it. It all started in the middle of my prof's super boring discussion bout gametes. A girl classmate on my far right went out of the room leaving some of her stuff on the floor. Few minutes later, a loud tweety bird sound caused a class disturbance. Even my prof tried to find out where the sound was coming from. Everybody (including me) thought it was a real bird making that irritating sound. Well it's actually a good thing for me 'coz it broke everyone's boredom! Then I noticed the paper bag that the girl left on the floor was vibrating. That was the point when I concluded that there's probably a bird inside which might be very hungry to produce that loud sound. I was a little concerned so I planned to sneak through it and check the poor bird. But then I lost the chance to do it 'coz the girl came back whose face obviously showed that she owns the poor thing. I watched with all excitement how she pulled up the poor birdie. And yes! It was a bird making that sound! But the funny thing is... it's a yellow toy-bird. it's probably an alarm clock also that's why it's vibrating. I was all red when I saw that thing! I really tried to stop laughing 'coz the prof might see me...

.....And another funny thing is that the whole class, including our prof, thought it was a real bird! They thought the bird might've escaped when the tweet-tweet stopped. haha!

Practicality (Call Center thing?)

One actually has a number of career options to choose from depending on his field/forte. But generally, graduates of this generation consider "practicality" as the top factor for pursuing a certain job(this particular job actually pertains to the very popular: call center agent). This factor would keep some fresh grads from practicing the course they took in college..which is impractical in a certain angle and not-so-logical in my very humble opinion.

I have nothing against with this "practicality" thing most people answer when they're asked bout the reason why they took a job, which is damn far from what they finished in college. Maybe they have reasons like..the job offers high salary, nice environment..what else? Well, whatever! those are their reasons..and there's nothing I can do about these things.

To tell you the truth, working as a call center agent is at the bottom of my career options list. Once again, I have nothing against the job. Actually my bro works in PLDT Parlance as an agent..he helps my parents..the whole family! and he finished Mass comm in college so I don't see anything wrong about it. I guess it's just that Im taking an engineering course in U.P. Diliman. well, just because m an eng'g stude doesn't mean m not fluent in English.that's bull! It is because it would take me 5 years to finish in the most prestigious university in the Philippines and I don't wanna waste this wonderful achievement, if ever. If I were to work in a call center, I should have done that years ago. Actually I asked my dad before if he'd allow me to work during my 3rd year summer term, but he said "no way"! well he was being super protective that time..he knew the sched was too risky for me, and he's actually right. ..Anyway, for me it's more impractical and illogical to spend five fucking years studying then you'll end up answering phone calls during the very part of the day when you should be sleeping!

Hmmm..I actually did this list of career options since I'll be graduating few months from now. And you know what, if I wouldn't feel like working in GE companies here in the Philippines..(no, Im not gonna work abroad..definitely not!)..I'll probably end up teaching either in DLSU or Mapua. and what am I gonna teach? of course, math/physics/geodesy or any of the subjects I mastered in college. WHY? for the sake of not being impractical and illogical.
