Siyempre, with all the stuffs going on, mapapatigil ka di ba: Syet, what’s happening with the world? Me domino effect na yung Wallstreet fiasco at malamang dahil nga sa interconnected na tayo dahil sa global village phenomenon, di ako  magtataka na yung damage nakarating bigla sa aking doorstep mismo. Waah. Wag naman sana. Di ba nga me nabasa ako na baka etong mga call centers dito sa P.I. e maging casualties bigla. Sabagay, yung HSBC is eliminating na more than 1000 offices and works (mostly front ends daw >> di ba kasama dun customer support?) 

It’s about 80% official. I am going to do Culinary Arts come November. Ye! The bit of uncertainty there rests on these facts:  1) I might get to the enrolment too late because frankly the allotment for the whole endeavor would be completed by mid-October and there’s just a lot of peeps angling to do CA as well (heard from a friend that as early as June there are waitlisted students already for the November term in Global Academy); and, 2) My bank would suddenly go bankrupt with all the Wallstreet turmoil happening and all .

One of the interesting things about this whole stuff goin on is finding the right school. Things like the ff are big factors in the choice: Is the school uniform crappy and would it suit me? >>> Chris in a toque? gah. Gorgeous people? Lol. School reputation. And, of course, the ROI, practicality – whatever you may call it. I am always after the other end of the bargain.

ROI…

For example, there’s this CCA who wants (I heard) more than half a mil for a two-year course. Ridiculous, eh? not exclusively because it is so expensive (all CA schools are expensive, though there are those who want less) but also because of the time. I mean fvck, I’d be 29 when I would look for my “first job.” And how much do they pay “cooks” these days? 

But CCA is a good school and so is ISCAHM I heard. But now, for me, things boiled down to two: Global and MIHCA.
