yesterday, i sent a text message to a potential employer. Actually i had sent a message to this particular number last week using my sister's phone but i didn't get any response. so again, yesterday, using my own number, i sent a text message and received a reply about two hours later. the message from the potential employer was kind almost apologetic.
he is a Korean looking for a tutor. al i need to do is bring my CV to his house in the afternoon.
so i made my resume at Netopia (the same short resume that i had sent to earlier applications) then i contacted Clang2x and she went to Emall where i've been waiting for her. she made her resume and by 4pm we were on our way to the employer's house.
Joyce had to come along with us since Clang2x and i don't have any idea where La Hacienda, Banawa is. and Donah had to come along too because she doesn't know where else to go. lol
we stopped by the guard house and asked for the Koreans' residence. "applicants?" "yep." "you're about the 40th applicant who came here since last week." "there's been 40 applicants already? do we still have a chance at this? Do the other applicants look like professionals? like very experienced english tutors?" "yeah some of them, some look like students like you." "oh"

my class will start in 10 minutes...so anyway to make it short...that night, i got a text message saying that i was hired. so that made me very happy.

today, we had our first tutorial session..we just talked. i can't believe it. i'm getting paid just for engaging in casual conversation for two hours everyday. this is not a job. it's luxury. hehe ok it is a job..and i have to go now..im just too excited that i had to write it. lol
