The Inquirer interview continues tomorrow… In the meantime, here’s the continuation of ng kwento ni The!
After the wedding
I thought Jay’s ex-girlfriend was really out of our lives. But heaven only goes that I was wrong. Kakakasal pa lang namin nun when Jay received a uninamous text. “Meet me at the clinic.” I had a stinking feeling in my butt. I told him not to go. It might in danger him. Pero sabi niya, ok lang daw because life is what we make. Tumahimik lang ako. Sabi niya, “Penny for you talks.” But I didn’t know what to say. Beggars can’t be losers. Isa pa, worried talaga ako na baka yung girl yun. Jay said, “Can’t got your tongue?” I tried to smile at him. Kahit di ako nagsalita, actions speak louder than works, di ba?
Be that as is may, umalis pa rin siya. I was out of the loophole. After a few hours, I called him on his cellphone. But my calls fell on Jeff’s ears. Lalo akong nag-worry kasi I didn’t even know Jeff. Sabi na nga ba di na dapat umalis si Jay. That’s what I’m talking about it.
So I tried calling some friends who will help me find Jay. That’s what friends are for naman di ba? But I just faced a blank mall. I had to do this alone. Nag-taxi na lang ako. Pero ang mahal na pala ng plug down rate.
When I got to the clinic, the security was really buffed up. Di basta-basta makakapasok. So I said, “I beg your cordon. I’m patient. It’s my favorite virtue nga e.Nagduda yata yung isang guard. Hinawakan ako sa arm. The nerd! I shouted, “Don’t touch me not!” Buti na lang the other guards were nice and said, “Come on, let’s join us.”
When I went inside, parang I’ve been there, done there. Nung walang nakatingin, nag-explore ako. Nakarating ako sa top floor and I had a bird’s IQ of the clinic. I could not explain it but I was drawn to a room on the floor. Siguro Divine Intermission na yun.
Parang may narinig akong umuungol. I was thorn. Di ko alam kung aalis ba ako o papasukin ko. It made me stick in the stomach to think that Jay and his ex-girlfriend were there. I tried to tell myself to slower my expectations. But to tell with it! I had to strike while the iron is not. I had to hear the truth from the corpse’s mouth. I barraged in. O my gas! Si Jay, naka-strap sa operating table, parang genie pig sa isang nakakatakot na experiment. He was on the cutting edge. He was bleeding. At ang doctor na nagpapahirap sa kanya, ang ex-girlfriend niya at ang bago nitong boyfriend, ang nurse na si Walter. Doon ko napatunayang blood is thicker than Walter.
Guess watch? Di ko alam kung paano ko nagawa pero I was able to search and rescue Jay. Siguro adrenaline brush na yun.
Now, he’s recovering. Nag-sorry siya na hindi siya nakinig sa akin. I know it’s a better pill to swallow your pride so it’s forgive and forget me not. All swell that end swell. I know we should kiss and put on makeup.
Ang ex-girlfriend naman niya at si Walter, nakakulong na. Detention is really better than cure. So the moral of the lesson is: if symptoms persist, insult your doctor.

http://youhadme-at-hello.com/49/tales-from-recruitment-2/#comment-193
More memorable quotes from work. These gems make what I do worthwhile:
Q:Describe a situation wherein you were able to use your persuasion successfully to convince someone to see things your way?
A:Ummm… My brother… Bikos he is impotent.
Q:Excuse me? Your brother is impotent?!
A:Yes. He does not want to work.
Q:Ah… He does not want to stand up? To go to work?
A:Yes. He is so lazy.
Q:So what did you do to overcome his objections?
A:I quarrel him.. inside the room… man to man
*Easiest way to cure impotency
Q:How much do you know about the call center industry?
A:Hmmm… Around fifty percent I guess.
Q:Ok. Can you expound on that please.
A:Ah…. Only fifty percent…
*He knows only fifty percent of fifty percent… Not a bad ratio.
Q:What are your short term and long term goals?
A:For my short term, I have three kids, right?
Q:Ok… So whats your long term goals?
A:Well, eventually they will grow up and when they do I will tell them to apply here because its a good company.
*Introducing the Employee Making Machine
Q:What are your short term and long term goals?
A:For my short term its, “Don’t be afraid, only believe” and my long term goal is “Laughter may hide sadness. When happiness is gone, sorrow is always there”.
Q:These are your goals? Your CAREER goals?
A:YES!!!!!!
Q:These are your goals for your career?!
A:YES!!!!!! (louder this time with matching head bobbing motion)
*This one is a classic!!!!!!!
Q:How long do you see yourself working with us?
A:So long…. As long as I can imagine!
*Wooo-hoooo!!!!!!
Q:Who do you think are given a chance to work in a corporate environment?
A:Like in SM, if you are obese they will not hire you. Thats why there are no bad looking people there.
Q:So the reason we work here is we did not pass at SM?
A:Yes.
*I have to work in SM now!!!

hello po. i have just read both this post and the related. i know where it originated. actually, that’s the reason why i browsed to find it online.
my professor read it in class last friday. it was his sister who compiled those to make a story. she and her friends at GMA were the ones who thought of that.
actually, may additional na. hindi pa lang daw napapasulat ng prof ko sa sister nya.
there’s a saying daw in law na, “justice delayed is justice tonight.” but my prof heard one person [i forgot if it's a politician or a priest] said, “justice today is justice tonight!”
