Frauenliebe und -leben. ♥

Last November 24, 2015, I received a text message from ZALORA Philippines that they are inviting me for an interview at 10 AM the next day. So I went to their office all the way from Bulacan.

I was really excited when I got this text message from Ms. Faye. I prepared for the interview by searching for questions that were normally asked during interviews. (Speaking of interviews, I have an upcoming mock interview on February 2. Huhu guide me Lord, please.) So the next day, I woke up early to prepare. I don’t really know how to go there from Bulacan, so I searched what is the best route to take and I also asked my classmate who lives near the place. He said that I can take MRT and from Guadalupe station, I can ride a jeep going to Market! Market! The place that I had in mind was wrong, that’s why when I already saw Market! Market!, I started looking for ZALORA. Luckily, there’s someone that I asked that ZALORA is on the right side of where I currently was. So I walked and walked until I saw ZALORA.  

When I saw ZALORA, I can’t help but to be amazed by the office because I can see the studio where they are taking all the pictures. The kuya in the reception handed me a piece of paper that I need to fill out.

After filling the paper out, Ms. Faye asked us to follow her. While following her to the pantry, you will see many cubicles that I think is the department that is handling the sales of ZALORA.

The picture’s blurry because I was walking when I took the picture. I really want to capture everything, that’s why. So, we reached the pantry.

I really loved walking through the office with the many cubicles in it because I can really feel that I was in a legit office and I was really excited to work. So when we reached the pantry, Ms. Faye let us sit first and wait for her to call us for the interview. While waiting, I was observing the environment in ZALORA. I noticed that in my right side was like the 10 commandments of ZALORA. 

I also noticed that there were small offices that has a name on it.

Okay, so here’s an example. Ms. Faye told us that the Philippines office is the main office since we are in the Philippines and most of the meetings were held there. (Hi, ate!) So while waiting for my turn, I took a selfie! (I was a bit shy to smile because there might be a person walking behind me)

So the time came when I had to be interviewed. Ms. Faye asked me questions about ZALORA and I had a hard time answering those because I didn’t searched for the background of the company. This is really a must when you will be interviewed, I need to remember that for my next interview. The interview with Ms. Faye went good, it was casual; so after that, she endorsed me to the supervisor of the Retouching Department where I will be assigned into if I will do my internship here. She came with me at the department and introduced me to sir Jermaine. After that, we went to the pantry again because that’s where sir Jermaine interviewed me. He asked me some questions about Photoshop and then he asked me if I want to start my OJT immediately at ZALORA. I became honest and told them that I was also waiting for GMA because that’s where my mother really wants me to take my OJT. They understood and they gave me until Friday that week to confirm. I was at ZALORA for only 20 minutes and I instantly called my mom after being interviewed. I told her that I can start the next day but she told me that I should complete my requirements first for GMA. So I waited for Fully Booked to open and strolled around there for a while.

I bought things that were needed in GMA at Fully Booked and I was also contacting my mommy on what to do. After that, I went to Artwork to buy gifts for my two sisters. I also took a selfie because the light’s on point.

After shopping, I had my lunch at KFC; just a little treat for myself for doing great during the interview. After eating, I told my mother that I can start the next day that’s why she suggested for me to contact GMA and ask when the orientation is. They said that it will be on December 2, 2015. My mommy told me to accept the internship in ZALORA and just be absent on that day to go to GMA. So I texted Ms. Faye about it.

I was really excited for my internship! After texting Ms. Faye, I found my way home by taking the BGC bus. At first, I was confused because there’s two terminal there but I asked the guard there and bought a stored value card so I just have to tap it every time I will ride the bus.

The next day, I waited for Ms. Faye because she will be the one who will orient and tour me around ZALORA. After the tour, she accompanied me to the office where I will be assigned into.

“Saan tayo titira? Saan mo gusto?” Wala akong nasagot nung tinanong mo sa’kin yang tanong na ‘yan. Pero kailangan kong sumagot. “Kahit saan,” ang tanging nasabi ko sa’yo. Oo nga pala, kunwari nga lang pala itong lahat. May mga camera nga lang palang nakapalibot sa’tin kaya mo nasabi yun. Sinushoot nga lang pala nila tayo para sa isang music video.

It’s been two years, Wilson, simula nang bitawan kita. Two years simula nang makilala ko si Jerus at nang palitan ka nya sa buhay ko, pero bakit ganto pa rin nararamdaman ko? Ang tagal na mula ng ang magkaron ako ng feelings para sa’yo. Bakit ganto? Bakit parang di pa rin ako nakakamove on sa’yo? Hindi naman naging tayo para mahirapan akong magmove on sa’yo. Nagtataka tuloy ako minsan kung bakit naapektuhan pa rin ako sa’yo, sa mga babae mo. Ngayon, may girlfriend ka na naman at di ko alam kung bakit di pa rin ako matahimik.
