64: Surprises

This day has been quite productive. First, Kat and I are finally part-time proofreaders for Gawon International, wohoo! We thankfully passed the training earlier which, despite being quite simple because our job basically requires us to take note of the errors in syntax of Korean-written articles, was a great learning experience. I discovered that "everyday" is an adjective, while "every day" is its adverb form that is supposedly used in sentences such as "I go to school every day." All this time, I used "everyday" for those kinds of sentences. And do you know what inflections are? I didn't (or at least I forget already, hihi). But that is all in the past. Haha. Anyway, real work starts tomorrow, and we have to proofread at least 10 articles per day from then on. Wish us lots of luck, patience and grammatical oversight.

After the training, Kat and I bonded at Megamall. We had a quick merienda at the food court, then bought some milk tea and sylvanas. My brother suddenly texted that a big box from JRS Express arrived for me, and so I rushed home. And when I entered our front door, the box waiting for me was indeed large--3/4 of a balikbayan box, I guess. I opened it and inside was at least P2000-worth of Unilever products! Dove, Close Up, Pepsodent, Surf, Axe, Pond's, Vaseline, Creamsilk, Sunsilk, and Clear! I screamed in delight, jumped around, and called my mom in Tanay. Haha.

Remember I won in Close Up's Taylor Swift Concert Tickets Raffle around two months ago? According to the letter that came along with the box, the package was Close Up's way of making up for the lower-rate tickets that we received. We should have gotten better seats, but apparently there was a mix-up in ticket coordination with Araneta Coliseum, so the winners ended up either in the Upper A section or in the Upper B section. But wooooah, that much products?! Intense lang talaga! Hahaha. As my one of my older brothers put it, "ano meron, pasko ba?" Hahaha!

So aside from "thanking Close Up" (I forgot to chronicle my television exposure here! I'm in Close Up's Taylor Swift Concert Promo commercial being shown on ETC and Jack TV, yo! Haha!), I should also say thank you to the entire Unilever Coporation now! Haha. What a suprise, really. I never imagined that it would be that much! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, UNILEVER!

So on with what happened today. After dinner, my youngest brother and I went to Ultra to jog. Following the mini work-out though, we ate the yummiest isaw in the world (AKA Dinky's isaw), so the little pounds that we shed eventually didn't matter anymore. And now, I'm here, resting and blogging, being the lazy daisy me again. Ah, this is ze life, mehn.

I better enjoy tonight, anyways. Tomorrow marks the day I commence my quest as a proofreading machine. Kat and I promised each other that we should receive at least P20,000 for our first pay on May 26. Take note, at least. That's how determined we are to make money money money. Haha. Cebu, wait for us. We shall afford a trip to you soon enough :p
