Moon the Wolf

Another season of my favorite reality shows have ended. There's really something about these shows that keeps me hooked.

Survivor, for example, has me hooked since its pilot season. As the twelfth installment of the show concludes, I still look forward to the next season. This season may very well be my favorite of all, ver close to the second one, the Australian Outback. Every season, I choose two contestants, one male and one female as my pick and luckily, this season's final two are my picks. Aras Baskauskas really deserved to win over Danielle. Many would say that Terry should have won but for me, he's so arrogant and cocky that I do not want him to win. It's one thing when one contestant deserves to win when he dominates through the entire game, like Tom, winner of Survivor: Palau. Terry was nothing like that. Aras, on the other hand, was really cool about things and made it through the end. Congrats!


Consequently, the latest season of The Amazing Race, my second fave reality show, also ended. My favorite team, Eric and Jeremy, made it to the final three but ultimately lost to BJ and Tyler. The Hippies deserved to win this one, no questions asked. Although Eric and Jeremy were leading up to the final task, their lack of, uhm... upstairs, made them lose. So the Hippies pulled away and won. The title of the show is really fitting because no other word can sum everything the contestants experienced. It's amazing. You need not only strength and speed but also experience, intelligence and luck.

Finally, American Idol 5 ended and Taylor Hicks is the winner. Although, since the start, I was cheering for Chris, I though Taylor deserved to win based on the final performances of the final two. Katharine was my bet but she didn't sound excellent that final performance night. So congrats to Taylor.

Oh and also, Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition concluded last Saturday. Congrats to Kim Chiu. You deserve to win!

Maybe that's the problem. I feel no pressure whatsoever to go and look for a job.

I graduated April of this year. The month of May has passed and my name can still be found on the unemployed list of this country. I wouldn't say I have not been looking for a job; I am. I already did two exams and I passed both. The problem though, is not the exams. It's the interviews. I really have no idea how to handle interviews. I have no idea how to answer questions the interviewer throws at me. And I'm not the ahm-uhm-ah type that can't answer questions straight. I may not be one, but hell, I can surely answer any questions thrown at me. I'm guessing interviewers might feel intimidated by me instead of me being intimidated by them. Hah, that's what three years of debating has done for me. Talk about drawbacks. I guess I should cut down and add a little ahm-uhm-ah on my next interview and maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to get a job.

Now let's dream here. What will I do with my first paycheck? Well, I'm gonna give half of it (whatever the amount may be) to my mom and let her do whatever she wants with it. It's just a little gift for all the years she worked hard for us, me especially, to get everything we wanted. Now the other half, I'm gonna keep and try to save for my future house. Haha, tough luck!

I already have a list of my short-term (some may be long-term) things to buy:
1. First, I would have to get braces. I mean come on, I have wanted to get one (and my dentist have recommended me to get one) since I was in grade school.
2. Next, I'll get a set of the Harry Potter books from the first to the sixth, hardbound. It's about time I get one, so I'll only order the seventh one when it comes on sale.
3. I'll also buy clothes and shoes and clothes and shoes and clothes and shoes and clothes and shoes and did I tell you, uhmm, yeah, clothes and shoes.
4. Fourth, I want a laptop just for fun.
5. Also, I would like to buy a car. Even if it's a second hand one.
6. Oh, that's it there's no sixth.

I guess I'll have to wait a little longer for these to come true. Back to jobstreet.com for me. Ciao!

Twenty-one years of existence. Whew! It's hard to live. Not that I'm complaining though. I just turned legal yesterday and I have no idea where I'm gonna take the next twenty-one more years of my miserable and sympathetic life.

I do plan, however, to make the most out of my next twenty-one years of existence (hmm, I don't even know if I'll live that long). After my 21st birthday, I realized that time really passes so quickly. I remember I was just playing in the streets yesterday, so carefree and happy. Now, I'm so miserable trying to find the perfect job to live the perfect life I dreamt of when I was playing in that street of dreams.

It's not my standards are so high. Exactly the opposite. I'm easily pleased and I'm almost always contented with what I have. I'm miserable because everyone else around me thinks that I'm worth more than what I want. Or the other way around. They think I'm not worth than what I want. I don't think I'm making any sense but that's what I feel.

It's getting long so I'll cut it here kasi wala na namang kwenta ang pinagsasabi ko. Another one of my random thoughts.
