Finally, I can breathe... Or so I thought.
The interview that I had today was fine. It wasn't a breeze but, I think I did fine. Well, except for some grammatical mishaps. Argh... I can speak good english naman. But, when I am in such a stressful situation is either I speak my best english or my worst english. Let's just say I was neither but leaning to the worst. Got it? Whatever.
The 3 panelists who interviewed me were Sir Mes, Sir Trieste (?), Sir Ayen (?). I think I am one of the few who were lucky enough who weren't grilled on Anatomy and Health Care stuff. They asked mostly about my personal life, which I am not ashamed to talk about. Duh?!? This blog is evidence that I am sort of shameless.
Disclaimer: What you're about to read is not verbatim. I sort of altered some and I sort of remembered most of the content.
Panelists: Tell us something about yourself
Kaye: I love reading books, watching tv, watching movies. I have a happy family who loves me dearly. And, i have a strong bond with my sister....
P: So, are you the eldest?
K: Yes, I am. My sister is 10 years old. (And, my sister is 12 years old. Totally, mental drift.)
And then, in the course of conversation we landed in this topic,
P: Since your mother is working in Canada and your father is a seaman, what do you do to be the "head of the family"? (Yeah... my english is bad)
K: Well, everytime that the money we have at hand doesnt fit our monthly budget, I make sure that everytime we borrow money I see to it that we pay them as soon as I receive our monthly allowance. I make sure that our house gets paid. My sister's tuition fee gets paid. And, all the other expenses gets paid.
Blah... Blah... Blah...
I personally think that I sounded mature enough to handle the stress. And here is my personal favorite...
P: What is your greatest fear?
K: I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be left behind.
P: What will you do if you have little time to spend with your loved ones because they are leaving you?
K: I'll make the most out of the remaining time and tell them everything that I want to tell them. Like how much I love them.
P: What do you do when you are stressed out?
K: I read the Bible.
P: Why?
K: I feel that sense of security after reading the Bible. I feel re-assured that everything is going to be okay because I know that God is there for me. And his promises makes me feel secured and safe, no matter what the situation is.
And, there are some major screw-ups...
P: Do you know any characters from the Looney Toons?
K: Yes.
P: If you were to choose between RoadRunner and Coyote (then, my face starts to shift from a smiling one to a confused-naive-who-the-hell-is-coyote kind of look), who do you think resembles you the most?
K: Huh? I am not familiar with them.
P: Coyote is the one chasing RoadRunner.
K: Ahh... I am really not familiar. Can I choose another character?
P: Okay. (Sounding like why-did-you-say-yes-and-omigosh-you-don't-know-who-roadrunner-and-coyote-are kind of tone)
K: I am like Bugs Bunny. Because he has this certain positive outlook in life. Which is very much like myself. He ends eating his carrots. (I really think I sounded stupid while saying this. But, I think I sort of pulled it off with my blah english)
Over all, I think I did a good job! Thanks God for everything!
Okay, I lift everything up to God. So, whatever HE wills. I gladly accept.
I realized something. Its never too late for anything. And, I should give myself more credit. And, I am somebody. I am capable of facing anything. Gosh! This interview has taught me a lot.
