Superheroes

Naahhh! This is not another Pacquiao's triumph blog entry...I got to spare you people. I'm sure a lot of you have read blogs and heard enough of it yesterday as most of you would've even probably glued their eyes on their 12-round bout. As soon as I learned that Pacquiao won over Larios with a unanimous decision before the last undercard match ended, the thrill and excitement subsided kaya ayun...I just waited until Bituin Escalante sang the national athem (which reminded me of Jennifer Bautista's vocal acrobatics when she sang the anthem on Pacquiao-Morales rematch early this year) and watched the ever-sikat Michael Buffer did his thing..."Let's get ready to rumble..". Yun lang...I didn't even see the first round of the fight.. I turned on the pc and just bloghopped away while my hubby slept the whole afternoon. Hehe! Don't get me wrong..of course, I'm one proud pinoy fan but i don't know, wasn't as thrilled as he fights the other boxers abroad. Isa pa, para kasing "no match" eh. hehe!

This is neither a Superman-struck entry as I haven't seen the flick yet. I'm just going with the flow as I've stumbled a dozen of raves and reviews from blog friends which makes me wanna go see it myself. Hmm..it just hit me, I'm having all the time these past few months and yet it seems ages since I last saw a movie on the big tube (umaasa kasi sa mga "de-be-de, de-be-de kayo diyan"). Ah hello? Are they still showing The Lakehouse, MI3, Tokyo Drift? Waaahhh! Poor me...nakalimutan ko na ata itsura ng sinehan. *nagpaparinig mode* "batu-bato sa langit, tamaan...sana tamaan nga..." nuninuninuni.

Speaking of superheroes, I almost did call on a super creature this morning when I got stuck with the ever-bulok registration/application process for my Civil Service Examination. Today's the first day of the registration for the Computer-Assisted Tests to be conducted starting August 1 and it took me the whole morning to finish my application. I arrived in CSC-Batasan at 7:30 AM and there were already about more than 50 applicants qeueing up. Masaya pa man din ako kasi akala ko ako na pinakamaaga...yan pala, ang dami ng naghihintay before me. It's not naman the number of applicants that pissed me off as expected and given naman yun..maraming hopefuls talaga and like to work for the goverment but it's the application system that sucked. Out of hundreds (or even a thousand perhaps) of applicants that stormed their office today, there were only about 3 of them verifying the applications and attending to queries and about 4 of them processing payments. I pity the encoders and attendants for undergoing such a tiring manual work but it's us, the applicants, who were more pathetic while waiting. A lot has gone irate and were already furious while I just sat quietly, waited for my name to be called and amused myself with my phone's Super Real Tennis. Oh yeah, I easily get impatient and was even cursing the process on my text to hubby but didn't join the wrathful group of applicants as I don't want to ruin my monday morning. Mahaba pa ang araw...kaya composed lang dapat..and ang wrinkles...hehe!

After 3 1/2 hours, I luckily finished my registration leaving still hundreds of applicants behind and headed home. My test schedule is on August 3 and I only got exactly one month left to prepare. I better hit those reviewers more often na talaga. With 80% as the passing score, wish ko lang sana talaga pumasa ako. :D
