Turned-good evening

Yesterday evening was a memorable evening. I usually don't go to alumni homecomings, coz i think trying to relive the past is a bunch of crap.

But this one occassion (the LAN net CCS) was different.

There was this inspiring speaker who gave this story about how he passed his thesis but a professor in the panel said "The system is good, but you will never become successful". That same student who passed the thesis is now the CEO of Technistock corporation. Will someone shoot that professor??

I was reminded of the biggest sin in the corporate world.

NEVER badmouth others in public.
Better yet, don't badmouth at all.

I live with this principle because I believe that what goes around comes around.

I remember getting a 4.0 in COMPRO1 for 2 hours. 2 hours after, my professor approached me and told me "Um, I made a mistake in my computations, I can't give you a 4.0 because I can't add your bonus points earned from the long quizzes in the exams eh". And so I got a 3.5. I was wondering "bitch, don't you feel good about having a 4.0 COMPRO1 student?" f__k her. Literally and figuratively.
But when we met along the corridors, when was smiling plasticly and I remained professional even as a freshman. I'm sure she realized she was ashamed of what she did. Again, will someone shoot this kind of professor??


So there goes my first reason. The second reason is that my orientees arranged to meet during the homecoming. Of the many friends I made before, I was kinda surprised that they decided to stay in touch after all this time. But after months of communication exchange, I guess I think I've met my match in the el gimmikero/ la gimikera circuit hehehe.
