Writing something from my memories

Strawberries Make Me Sick

That’s right … I don’t like strawberries. I don’t eat any strawberry-flavored food most especially if it’s ice cream. Yay! The mere thought is enough to make me feel dizzy. I know a lot of people are saying that strawberries are sweet and that they taste really good and that good food brings back good memories but that’s just not my case :( Friends are often surprised everytime I tell them I’m not a fan of strawberries. Some are even annoyed saying I’m all that arte (choosy). I don’t know. Maybe it’s all in my mindset. When I was small, my parents would always have to bring me to PGH (Philippine General Hospital) because I was a sickling. Asthma, allergies, flu, etc. As far as I can recall, I hated the bitter taste of medicines so my mom and the nice nurse convinced me to take all those tablets and syrups by telling me that those are strawberry-flavored so the taste must be really good. And so I grew up with the idea that strawberries taste like medicine. To make it worse, their smell reminds me of the unpleasant atmosphere of a hospital. I know I sound strange and weird but it’s the truth.

Finding Mr. Right and the Right Applicant

Some people may find this idiotic and crazy, but I do believe that finding the right applicant for the job is akin to finding a suitable husband. What an odd comparison, you say. But come to think of it. We, girls, have a lot of issues in finding Mr. Right. Will he be a good father? A good provider? Does he have a sense of humor? Is he healthy? Things like that. Same goes with headhunting.

A headhunter is someone who specializes in matching highly skilled professionals with corporate clients. It is the task of a headhunter to identify the most qualified person for the job. Among the things that she takes into consideration would probably be age, work experience, personality, education, etc. She can be an indepedent contractor or she  may work through an Executive Search agency. Just like a hard to get woman on the first date, a headhunter may act cold during the initial interview. This is because, she is measuring the willingness and determination of the applicant to work for the company.  So you ought to give your best if you want to impress her.

I am a 25-year old woman and it is but natural that I am already searching for a possible lifetime partner.  Just like a headhunter, there are certain things that I am looking  for in a man. He’s got to be really nice, respectful and decent. Basically, I just want to fall in love with someone who can make me laugh and somebody who believes in marriage. Yes, unfortunately, I’m not that choosy hehe :)
