Applying the art of Interview

Monday, October 1, 2007


As one of our activities in News & Feature Writing, we have to interview somebody we know using the art of interview. Honestly, nkalimutan ko tlaga ang araw sa pag-interview kaya nagkandarapa ako sa paghahanap na ma-iinterview nung araw n un. When I caught sight of my grade school buddy, without any second thought, I approached her and convinced her to be my interviewee. Thank God ang baet ng kaebigan kong un at hindi nya tinanggihan ang pag- interview ko.

When were in the room, I got excited of doing the interview that I totally forgot to apply the basic principles of interviewing. So from course shifting, our conversation jumped to family matters (nawala sa focus..hehe). pero sinagot nya lahatng maayos ang mga tanong ko. After the interview, we both just laughed. We were the goofies kasi back in grade school kaya ako, bilang nag-iinterview, nkalimutan tlaga ang pag-aaply ng mga prinsipyo.

Here’s the feature article that I wrote. I myself is not sure if its really an article, kaya kayo nlang po ang humusga..^^

Academic Course Problem
Having a hard time dealing with numbers and having poor results in her projects were the factors why Jade Grace, a 2nd year student in Xavier University got frustrated with her course in Computer Science. When she could not take it any longer, she decided to shift to Education majoring in English.

Education they say is the pathway that leads a person to a good future. College as the last level is the most serious part that a student must be more diligent with his/ her studies. One problem that can be cited when a student reaches College is choosing the right academic course. It’s not easy taking up a course especially if one doesn’t have any interest with it. Not only that a person will have a hard time but also, his/ her mind will always be bothered. Causes of the problem might be the course is not the person’s choice but from his/ her parents, one doesn’t have not yet decided what course to take up or one is not really that serious with his/ her studies. In most cases, students having this kind of problem stop studying or stay long in College. While others followed what they really wanted and that is what Jade did. Despite the fact the she will go back to basics (freshman year) and a new set of difficulties will come along her way, she would gladly deal with all of it. As for her parents, they still and will always support her.

Problem in choosing the right academic course is neutral among college
students. However, a student having this problem should discern on the matter
and do something with it.

The extraordinary training in badminton


…ana lang na tin, high lobe, drop, high lobe nsad, drop nsad…things that our team captain say to me whenever we practice. Kaya ang bata, ensayo ng ensayo..

2 weeks before the intramurals is usually the period that I lose pounds and nauubusan ng allowance. Its not because of the “no class- no study so laag in the mall and gasto kwarta” attitude of mine but the fact that I and along with other badminton athletes of the college undergo a training in preparation to the game. So after my classes in the afternoon, kung wala ng meeting or any school activity, I proceed immediately to a badminton court n pag-eensayuhan namin to work out our weaknesses. Usually, we spend 3-5 hours of non- stop practicing.. talk about calorie-burning activity!



Hehe..^^ When I get home, it would probably be 12 or 1 AM in the morning already at dahil sa sobrang pagod, wala na akong ganang kumain so I prefer to sleep directly..(-_-)..

The good news of the training is that I could really prepare myself for the game. The bad news nga lang is my allowance is totally affected. Why? Every time we practice, I get to spend 50 pesos for the court and the shuttlecocks. We practice 4 times a week so, 200 lang man sad akong gakagasto… huhu total bankruptcy! (-_-)

I don’t ask an additional allowance from my folks because I don’t want to add their financial problem. But despite of everything, I enjoy playing because from badminton, I gained new friends and it really helps me with my diet.. ahaha..^^

… From Business Team to Stage Crew galore

Do what you know that you can do… I recall my uncle saying those when we had a little chat few months ago. I was quite impressed of how his life got so prosperous. I never really put much attention to it until I got enrolled in a theater class. You see sometimes the indifference attitude in me comes out of my system and just don’t care of the things that happen around me. It just so happened that in our theater class, things got pretty much shaky that our teacher told us that our production might be cancelled. To prove that we can do it, we were given a chance and we only had one week to practice. As one of the business crew, I seldom go to our practices but with the things happening and surely it will affect my grades, I have to attend the practices and help in any way that I can So one time when I joined the practice, I noticed that there were only few people in the stage crew and knowing that they play an important role in the play and pondered what my uncle told me, I joined the crew.

I must say that being one of the stage crew is not that easy, the fact we were only given 20- 30seconds to set the materials on the scene plus we get scolded by our head can push you to quit. But knowing that I can do it and I already started doing it, why quit dba? So go lang ng go ang bata… The succeeding rehearsals made me and the rest of the gang get familiar with the lines of the actors that when they say their lines, we imitate them at the backstage; it was actually more like fooling around just to forget the fatigue feeling. But I don’t really think of the job as that tiring because I enjoy doing it and it helps our production. 3 days before the performance, nadagdagan ang bilang bilang namin so naging doble ang saya sa backstage! ahaha..^^ There were times that we peek from the back to the extent n kahit ung maliit n butas pinagtitiyagaan para makatingin lang! haha.. I really had a lot of fun doing that .




Through this class, I could say na mas naclose ako sa mga kaklase ko.

And by the end, napush through ang play namin…our batch really history makers, the first batch that proved something that some people thought that we cant do… weeeeeeeeeeee^^
