First Day High?

that's what my new found friend named John, short for Averrette Jun, commented to me today when i was complaining about the blisters on my feet. It's so corny but... it's corny.

the training was awesome. the trainers were totally fluent. they're very intelligent. THEY because there were two of them in a class of more or less 20 trainees. we're going to spend 2 weeks with them. it's great because we get to be trained not only with soft skills but also about leadership and the likes. in my previous jobs we had 1 week of soft skills and we only touched a bit of US culture and stuff. So i guess that this is a great experience.

we also got to write and talk. well, we talked a lot but, we got this FREE SPEECH activity when we draw-lot a topic and say something about it for 3 minutes. the topic that i got was about an ERA that i would most fit in. i think i had the most absurd and senseless answer. my co-trainees were really smooth at speaking in front of the class. their answers were organized and substantial. i was challenged in a way.

i was the last person to speak in front.

i told the class i would base it through music. since i'm a big music fan. and the era i would most probably fit in would be the 70's hippie era and the 80's punk era. I told them i like Bob Marley and Jim Morrison---the only artists i could think of from the 70's era. and The Clash from the 80's punk era. also the "only" band that got stuck on my head. i told them if i had the chance to go back to that era, i'd like to watch a The Clash concert and rock n' roll.

that was pretty dumb. it's a First Day low, afterall.
