Failed Happiness…

Last Friday (December 14, 2007) i received and email from our Director for Student Services stating that:

Please be advised that the Intern's Christmas Party 2k7 scheduled for tomorrow December 15, 2007 at the APC Cafeteria is canceled. This is to confirm earlier communication made by the CPO through your committee heads.

So, okay… With that canceled I need not to worry about the P250 contribution I had to give which is quite reasonable since my Auntie's Christmas party's contribution was around P600+ 

With that in mind I said to myself.. Why did it became canceled… A while ago my friend called me and confirmed the above message and I got a chance to ask about the reason behind the cancellation… 

Friend: Ayaw kasi ni Dr. Tan mag Christmas Party eh!
Roiji: Bakit daw?
Friend: ewan….
Roiji: Sige, thanks!

 Speculations aroused from me, they're being cheapskate for no apparent reasonable reason…

 Why? I'll tell you why!

(1) High expenses of the school.. Higher energy fee.. that's an additional P2,700!

(2) in regards to the energy fee… IT'S BECAUSE OF THE COMPUTER IN THE LABS RUNNING 24/7, NO ONE'S USING WITH VIRUSES AND TROJANS IN THEM MAXING OUT THE CPU POWER EATING ENERGY!!!!

(3)  I am in internship. Our Internship program is one of if not the best there is around because we work like ordinary employee's working hours.. meaning in short WE DON'T GO TO SCHOOL! so why is there and ENERGY FEE, ATHLETIC FEE, MEDICAL FEE, LIBRARY FEE, and GUIDANCE FEE in my accounts payable? I don't go to school!

So, okay… I'm a scholar of the school.. so what?! I still pay and I'm being accounted for the things that I do not use! 

 Another thing there is I'd like to thank and that they had notice… They removed the ID FEE. Thank goodness they realized something like that.. BUT hey, when I go back again for my other subjects, there it is again.. I pay / WE pay around 200-300 for that ID FEE and it's not being replaced every term.. AND is NOT being used for it's purpose… I mean, the thing is there is a chip inside those IDs that can be sensed by a device which logs you in or out if you tap it in. That was implemented 2 years ago and in just one term. After that, it's gone again.. I pay for the technology that will be outdated in 1-2 years time and I am not using it today… 

I'm sorry about my rants lately. I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT CHRISTMAS PARTY TO BE WITH MY FRIENDS but it went away just like that…

I really don't feel the joy of Christmas this year…. It's just around IT'S CHRISTMAS NEXT WEEK! and I don't feel it.. Even the weather is not cooperating.. IT'S HOT! 

I really hope to feel more Christmassy next week for on Friday December 21 will be our company's Christmas party and I can't wait for my acoustic performance.. Sadly though, there isn't enough time for me and my group mates to rehearse. I not, I'M GOING SOLO!

I'd like to share also another email by our Career and Placement Office head, title: refund for the interns' xmas party that never was!

ALL INTERNS 1:
