BUSINESS IS TOUGH. IT TAKES BALLS TO OPERATE ONE. IT REQUIRES GUTS – A LOT OF IT.
THIS MORNING WE ATTENDED OUR VERY FIRST BIDDING. BIDDING ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA IS AN OFFER (OFTEN COMPETITIVE) OF SETTING A PRICE ONE IS WILLING TO PAY FOR SOMETHING. THE ONE WE JOINED WAS OF THE ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE STUDENT BODY ORGANIZATION OF ATENEO DE DAVAO UNIVERSITY.
THE SET TIME WAS 4PM BUT WE GOT THERE AROUND 4:30PM. DAMN! I WAS SO FREAKIN ANXIOUS. I HAD NO IDEA OF WHAT TO DO OR WHAT TO SAY. I WAS SO NERVOUS THAT IT WAS OK FOR ME TO BACK OUT. COLD FEET YOU SAY!?! *NODS HEAD*
WE WERENT EVEN PREPARED. WE BROUGHT SHIRTS OF DIFFERENT COLOR. GOOD THING I PREPARED SOME SORT OF A PRICE MATRIX. BUT WHILE OTHERS HAD THEIR PRESENTATION USING LAPTOPS, WE HAD OURS ON PAPER. OTHERS EVEN HAD ACTUAL PRINTS OF THE LAYOUT.
AT FIRST WE WERE HESITANT TO CONTINUE WITH THIS, BUT WHAT THE HECK, AT LEAST WE EXPERIENCED BEING IN AN ACTUAL BIDDING.
AND AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS, I RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE FROM THEIR PRESIDENT TELLING US THAT WE PROVIDE ACTUAL PRINTS OF THEIR LAYOUT. AND THAT THEIR LIST WAS NARROWED DOWN TO TWO AND WE WERE ONE OF THEM. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? WE ACTUALLY MADE IT. WELL, NOT ACTUALLY MADE IT – MADE IT. BUT IT'S ALREADY A BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR US. THIS IS OUR FIRST BIDDING AND WE WERE CONSIDERED.
I HOPE THEYLL PICK US. *FINGERS CROSSED*
