My biggest frustration in life happened almost a year ago which I read thru email.
In first year college during my first hrim class, my professor, Ms. Timmy Regala, first introduced Amanpulo to us during her lectures. I was really fascinated with her stories and from then on, I really wanted to work in Amanpulo. Last November 2006, I received an email from Amanpulo inviting me to an interview for a reservations officer post. I was interviewed by Ms. Dina Andres, their human resources manager and was accepted for the job.

Hi Christine,
I am sorry to say that there is a change of plan.
Reservations had opted to get somebody else who is already
coming to the island tomorrow, December 5.
I am keeping your resume active tho' for our next hiring by February.
Hope you will still be available.
thanks
dina

Hello ms. dina,
My interest in joining your company will never change. I'm really looking forward to working in the island. Actually, I am now excited. However, I discussed this matter with my adviser and practicum coordinator, unfortunately, they didn't allow me to leave mandarin oriental. They said that although it is possible for them to credit my job, if ever but leaving mandarin oriental might leave a bad impression for the school. Mandarin Oriental might not get practicumers from our UP next time and of course, I don't want that to happen. Although, I've already talked to the HR of Mandarin and they understood the matter. But my professors told me to finish my practicum in the said hotel, anyway, it would only be 200 hours more. I told them that you need whoever it is that will be a part of your company to be there this Sunday but they are firm with their decision. So, I guess, I can't do anything but to go on with my practicum in Mandarin and that would last for 2-3 weeks but I am still hopeful (though it is impossible) that the job will still be open by then. or that there will still be a job for me in your company by then.. I really want to work in the resort.. :D
Still looking forward to working with you,
Christine L. Templa

I was so happy i forgot that i was still finishing my practicum. when i sort of remembered it, i asked my adviser to allow me to continue the 2nd part of my practicum in amanpulo which she opposed to. I was scheduled to leave for palawan on dec. 5 but of course i couldn't do so. I asked for an extension and was given until dec.15.. after several exchange of emails with ms. dina.. she sent this email which really made me felt like the entire world collapsed... I really felt like it was the end of my life.
