Hold-Departure Order

     Sorry to disappoint all of you guys (specially you, AJ, who seems to be dropping hints about... what was that? shoes? nyahaha!) but it seems my Denmark plans will be temporarily put on hold, until I finish with my online admission tests.



     "What the...?" you, of course, would ask. Admission tests, are, well, as they appear -- tests that gauge whether or not they will admit me for the first learning module in Copenhagen or not. There are 5 areas all in all: Economics, Investment, Fundamentals of Transportation, Maritime Law and (ahem) Communication and Presentation Technique. All these are to be taken online under time pressure. About a month ago modules and books were sent to me in preparation for these tests. But in true to the nature of a certified UP-student-slash-crammer, I waited until the last possible minute until I opened them and (reluctantly) studied again (gasp!).



     So here I am in the middle of the night, just finished taking the first exam (Comm and Presentation Technique, which needless to say is my one strength) and got 14/15 questions right! Hah! But we all know that I am still to be adjudged on the really weighty subjects, which of course I haven't started studying for.



     So again, this is to say that requests for pasalubong shall be put on hold for a while until further notice. Will keep everyone posted.



     For the sake of good order (ATTN: deon, who seems to be surprised that I am now employed, haha) I am indeed currently employed by Maersk-Filipinas, Inc., specifically Maersk Sealand as a Management Trainee in a program called the Maersk International Shipping Education. Those who want to visit me, you can do so by dropping by the 51st floor of PBCom Tower along Ayala Ave. :)
