IT'S ABOUT TIME!

It was such not a good evening for me as I had experienced a typical problem with my students... They actually ruined my night helping me to realize that I need to wake up with my dream, and face what is actually best for me. It is about time to follow what my heart speaks and not what my mind dictates, It is about time to get out of my shell and spread my wings high until I reach my true happiness. It is about time to accept the fact that I am not anymore happy with what I am right now. It is about time to face a new challenge outside the world of teaching as I planned to go back in the actual battle field in accounting. The prospective jobs may seem still uncertain, but my feelings of leaving the organization remains constant for a longer time now.

Being in the teaching profession is such a great pleasure, it is such a great honor indeed, I was able to get along with the different kinds of students inside the 4 walls of classroom. Imparting them my knowledge up to the extent of losing out my voice is not any matter to me, extending out my patience is not even a big deal, but I guess like an ordinary human being, some things have to put an end. I guess this is what I feel right now, I think that I really have to breathe another working environment, an environment that would somehow relief me from anger, an environment that would give me enough peace of mind, an environment that would satisfy my needs, and an environment that would show me the real value of camaraderie.

I do believe that starting a new is another great obstacle in my life, a life that are still covered by gigantic queries and great anxieties, a life that is immuned by previous nightmares, a life that hopes for eternal happiness and a life that longs of a sincere understanding.

I know that when some things has placed to an end, there is always a new lovely moment that will come before the eyes of a human, and I am deeply looking for that, I trust God, I love Him more than I do, I praise Him above all things, I know He knows what seems to be best for me, that is why whatever decisions I made, I know there was a blessing coming from Him!

Godbless Me Always! Good Luck KM on your Journey!

BACK TO NORMAL!

It is exactly 12:30 am on my clock, June 15, 2009... still facing my laptop, chatting with friends online, texting and listening to a friend's problem, browsing and reading Bo Sanchez blog website, and feeling as if my life is still in the midst of summer! Oh! Wake Up KM! Wake up! Wake Up! Sad to hear! The good times is over, the hang outs with kadas will be put at pause for a while and the playing of bingo game with my childhood friends will be set aside for a moment... just for one immense reason,,, my life will be back to normal... normal, holding my white board marker writing lectures in front of the class, formulating test questions which I hope majority will pass, counseling students who needs a companion or a shoulder to lean on and focusing in giving time with the activities at school... In short, I will be facing my life being a professor once again.

A life full of stress yet satisfying, A life full of headaches yet fulfilling, A life within the 4 walls of classroom imparting knowledge to students yet heartwhelming inside. I do believe that big challenges awaits for me as I enter another one sem of teaching, but like the previous year, I believe that God is with me and He will never leaves me as I continue taking this road of my journey.

I also feel excited because I prepared innovative and creative teaching strategies for this sem, I guess that is a demand for a teacher, to be flexible at all times, open to change, introduce new techniques that will make the whole activity exciting.

I am looking forward for a one fruitful semester ahead with my co workers, students and also to the people whom I am going to meet as I move on. How can I make it possible? simply to have a GOOD START!

P.S: You might be wondering, with the date this post was published, it was totally different with the date stated above... There was only a system error, just rely with the one that has been said... Thank You! have a nice day ahead!

I'M PROUD TO BE AN ASSUMPTIONIST!


The University of the Assumption( UA)is the first and only Catholic Archdiocesan University in the Philippines and in Asia living by its motto " Scientia, Virtus, et communitas" translated in english as " Knowledge must lead to virtue and to community service." It was founded on January 12, 1963 and now on its 46 years of existence and soon to celebrate its Golden Year Anniversary.

I can proudly say that I am a Product of this University, having attended 4 years in High School, 5 Years in College with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, 1 Sem of being a Substitute College Instructor in the Business Administration Department and now on my 2nd and last year in my Masters in Business Administration Degree. In my almost 11 years of stay in this school and still counting, This school became a witness of my growing years in life, this university became my second home having world- class professors who serves as my second-parents, older brothers and sisters,and even trusted friends and companions.

It was June of 1998, when I First stepped on the vicinity of this university, It was quite hard for me then as I remember adjusting in the environment, considering it is a new school to study with. I will never forget then That I am not supposed to be admitted in the school because of my probationary status in the Entrance Examination, but with prayers and luck, I was given the opportunity to enter the school. We were 13 sections then in the 1st Year and I was placed in the 7th section. Quite frustrating because I'm expecting that I will be included in the first section which is considered to be the home of the cream of the crop. But like an ordinary fighter, I didn't loose hope, I took that as a challenge, I continued the battle, studied very hard until I became consistently the top 1 in our class. At first, The feeling of gladness was present in my face but still the great insecurity was there overshadowing my joy, because I am not in the 1st section ( In short, eventhough I am Top 1 in the class, that will not make any sense, I will not be receiving any award because I am not in the highest section) but still because of my strong personality, I still continued fighting until my general average made me qualified to be included in the 1st section the next school year or in my second year.

Finally, Coming my second year in high-school, I was included already in the top section. I was filled with mixed emotions when I first entered the classroom, there is a feeling of happiness because at last, I will be with the brightest students of the university, Intense pressures, because I believe the real competition is here present, and the feeling of vulnerability as to a dilemma if they will accept me as a friend or a competitor. But in God's grace, I was very glad because I was welcome wholeheartedly by my new friends. Definitely, We can't avoid that there are some who are very hard to please, but I just didn't mind them anyway. My life in this year was very difficult because of a very tight competition among us. Life in the 1st section was full of arduous moments,,, study, study, study, never ending studying! But that was nice, I am learning a lot of things in focusing with my readings. My effort in this year was not enough because I was included in the lowest 10 ranks in the class.

Another school year was opened, my 3rd year HS Life, my insecurities was slowly be blown away because I am already use with the personalities and attitudes of my classmates. It is also in this year, When I met my "Kabarkadas" namely Nonito, R-Jay, Sheena, Frelda, Monique, Alpe, and the leader of all Aaron. We had great times together which I absolutely missed at the moment. How can I forget, also in this year when me and some my kabarkadas and classmates joined the first ever UAHS Glee Club... We are proud to be the pioneers! eje... ( Yes, I have this hidden talent, I actually sing... in fact I have a " Tenor" voice, but now, because of no practice anymore, my voice is continously deteriorating... eje!) what makes this year very memorable? for the First Time, I was included in the Honor Roll and unlike in my First Year, this time I went on stage very proud with my mom receiving my certificate of commendation.

Last year of High School Life came in, a very crucial in the lives of every high school student, the year where we decided what course are we going to take in college, the year where we spend the last few moments of our lives as high-school students, and the year where we said temporary goodbyes to friends and classmates. But saying goodbye does not mean that we are not going to meet again, this is just a starting point for us to face another chapter in our lives. Our Graduation Day? Absolutely filled with delightful moments but deep in side our hearts there is sadness.

I guess the very serious part in every educational years is the college life, because it is in these years where we are going to study the concepts and principles related to the field that we are going to partake in the future, and that happened to me, I was totally serious with my studies in college, for a reason that my course is absolutely difficult, in fact, it is considered as one of the much hated course of everyone, because of its hard to understand principles and the unending problem solving and analysis, But you know what, without bias, This is the most enjoy and challenging course! because the moment that you cannot balance a transaction, you will surely do everything finding the last centavo which caused it unbalanced and the moment you discovered and have it posted, you will shout out loud with joy, as if you won a lotto, I Have experienced this so many times. I also had the privilege during my 5 years of stay in the college department, joining and leading to various organizations, The UA Outreach Ministry, UA Commentator Lectors Guild, UA Christ Youth in Action, UA Rotaract, Ingat Nang Asuncion, and the Statement, the official publication of the college of accountancy. I had wonderful memories with these organizations which I will forever cherish.

After Graduation, I also had the Opportunity to work here in the University as a Substitute College Instructor in the Business Administration Department teaching "Advertising",. The subject which I taught was indeed not my forte because I am an Accountacy Graduate but with God's Help, I was able to survive teaching this subject and was able to impart to the students the concepts, principles and even its applications in today's world.

Right Now, I am currently enrolled once again in the university taking up my Masters in Business Administration. In fact, I am now on my 2nd year which soon I will be graduating. I dont' know what is in this university which made me stay this long, but what I only knew is that I feel safe and totally relieved when I am here. In short, " I am in good hands with the quality of education which the school offers and I am satisfied with that."

I don't know till when I am going to stay here in the University, who knows, I will be pursuing still my doctorate degree here, but I guess with that, Only Lord can tell... but what is certain now, I AM TRULY GRATEFUL AND HONORED TO BE A PART OF THE UA FAMILY... I'M PROUD TO BE AN ASSUMPTIONIST!

BUILDING AN ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT IN YOU!


Are you looking for a business to venture with? Need additional savings for the family? Or do you want to place your money savings in good hands other than investing it in a bank or in financing companies? No need to worry, there is this magazine which surely can help you answer all your queries, introducing the Entrepreneur Magazine, Your Partner in Business.

This magazine accompanies you to think of a business that will surely suit your taste. It provides vital and updated articles, news and features in and out of the business environment. It also tackles inspiring stories from successful entrepreneurs who just started from scratch but now are prominent in their respective businesses. It also provides some relevant tips and information on how you can start up your own dream business, how will you handle it, and how will you introduce it to your prospective markets.

Nowadays, the global financial crisis is consistently prevailing inside and out of our country, lay off of workers are being done side by side, our economy is slowly be putting at risk, in short our lives are becoming more complicated. But there is always an answer to every problem right? Definitely

Many of our “kababayans” nowadays are wise enough in handling life, they engage into businesses which they think can benefit them and their families as well. They believe that being a forever employee will not totally give them enough satisfaction. I do believe in that, I think having a life that is eternally be in the 4 walls of office will not make you grow much. But there is always an exemption absolutely.

A year ago, one of my hobbies is buying magazines, showbiz magazines specifically (ha-ha! You might think it is FHM or cosmopolitan, no it’s definitely not!) I wanted to know more of the latest issues of the various tv personalities (in short, tsismis! Ehe), I got to enjoy reading and learning from their stories, sharing their personal insights about certain topic etc. but as time goes by, I’m getting bored reading them. Until, coming 2nd semester of the school year, I was given the opportunity to teach Entrepreneurship Subject in the 2nd year and Project Feasibility Study in the 4th Year. Teaching these subjects is such a great challenge for me, a challenge that I have to impart to my students the different concepts and ideas of putting up a business and how to become a successful entrepreneur in the future. But teaching the said subjects did not become hard for me, why? Because I already had a detailed idea on starting up a business, we were thought actually in college and were able to execute it also, and especially with the help of Entrepreneur Magazine which I am regularly purchasing.

This magazine is absolutely informative with the latest business tips and updates. I am not an entrepreneur but I can say that there is this entrepreneurial spirit in me which I believe will be realized soon how about you? I am still in the process of searching for best innovative ideas which I can use in putting up my own business and I think this magazine is helping me out with that. Right now, I have already collected five entrepreneur magazines and still counting…

If you want to purchase or to know more about this magazine they are available in any book stores nationwide and with regards to its previous issues you can buy them in any book sale outlets or you can also visit their website… http://www.entrepreneur.com.ph for more business ideas.

COMMEMORATING OUR FREEDOM AS FILIPINOS!


It was on June 12, 1898 to be exact, 111 years ago, when Former President Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed our Independence Day in Kawit Kavite. In the said day, huge people from various provinces came in to witness the first raising of Our Philippine National Flag and the singing of our Philippine National Anthem. The balcony of General Emilio Aguinaldo became the place where the ceremony was peacefully held.

It was such a great feeling as a citizen of this country to remember the heroic deeds of our people in the earlier times as they fought thoroughly just to achieve our freedom from the foreign countries who have attempt to colonize us.

As we reminisce this momentous event on Friday, June 12, 2009... Let us all remember our worth as Filipinos, Our great love and respect to our country and most importantly our sense of nationalism to our home motherland.

I do hope and pray that as we celebrate this historic event in our lives,political rivalries will be set aside and Unity will reign in the hearts and minds of everyone so that the progress of our country would continously develop!

VIVA PILIPINAS!

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER: A GLIMPSE OF THE "TWILIGHT" MOVIE


Twilight Movie is a story of two young individuals who unexpectedly fell in love in a mysterious way. Bella Swan played by the lovely Kristen Stewart is a clumsy, kind-hearted teenager with a knack for getting into trouble. When her mother remarries, she moves with her father in a little town in forks and there she met the enigmatic and intelligent looking guy vampire, Edward Cullen played by awesome Robert Pattinson who is trying to hide his secret, his family is unique as compare to the other vampires, because they ought not to drink human blood. With this unexplainable encounter, they engage into a passionate and thrilling romance but against all odds, a group of thirsty trackers and their families tries to disapprove and separate them. but with their real and unconditional love to each other... The relationship succeeded.

Better Late than never I watched this brilliant and Fantastic Love Story of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen in this majestic masterpiece "twilight" directed by Catherine Hardwicke, the movie was being shown in theater last year 2008 but fortunately I just watched it last night, I already heard so many good feed backs about this movie before but with my busy schedule then I was not able to catch up watching this film. Thanks to my sister, she was able to borrow an original DVD copy of this movie yesterday. Upon watching the movie I can't hide my feeling of " kinikilig" maybe because the story was indeed a charming romance.

It is really an unrivaled story because the impossibility becomes totally possible, the fictitious things, becomes a fact and a dream becomes a reality. It is not a doubt that this movie receives so many excellent commentaries from the viewers because of its awesome creation.

I'm just glad to hear that this movie is a 4 series novel, the first was the one which we have watched and the other three are soon to be seen in the big screen ( Wow! can't wait to watch them and feel love once again in the air... wahaha). To have a bird's eye view of the succeeding three series, here are there synopsis:

New Moon
Main article: New Moon (novel)
"Edward and his family leave Forks because he believes he is endangering Bella's life. Bella falls into a deep depression, until she develops a strong friendship with werewolf Jacob Black. Jacob and the other wolves in his tribe must protect her from Victoria, a vampire seeking to avenge her mate James' death by killing Bella. A misunderstanding occurs, and Edward believes Bella is dead. Edward decides to commit suicide in Volterra, Italy, but he is stopped by Bella and Alice, Edward's sister. They meet with the Volturi, a powerful coven of vampires, and are released on the condition that Bella be turned into a vampire in the near future. Bella and Edward are reunited, and the Cullens return to Forks."


Eclipse
Main article: Eclipse (novel)
"The vampire Victoria (James's mate from Twilight) has created an army of "newborn" vampires to battle the Cullen family and kill Bella. Meanwhile, Bella is forced to choose between her relationship with Edward and her friendship with Jacob. Edward's vampire family and Jacob's werewolf pack join forces to successfully destroy Victoria and her vampire army. In the end, Bella chooses Edward's love over Jacob's and agrees to marry him."


Breaking Dawn
Main article: Breaking Dawn
"Bella and Edward are married, but their honeymoon is cut short when Bella discovers she is pregnant. Her pregnancy progresses rapidly, severely weakening her. She nearly dies giving birth to her and Edward's half-vampire-half-human daughter, Renesmee, but Edward injects Bella with his venom to save her life by turning her into a vampire. A vampire from another coven sees Renesmee and mistakes her for an "immortal child", whose existence violates vampire law, and informs the Volturi. The Cullens gather vampire witnesses who can verify that Renesmee is not an immortal child. After an intense confrontation, the Cullens and their witnesses convince the Volturi that the child poses no danger to vampires or their secret, and they are left in peace."

MBA GRADS: FOR SOME, A WAITING GAME

This article was taken from www.businessweek.com dated May 2009. It has something to do with the current status of our students like me who are pursuing MBA or Masters in Business Administration.

"Some companies are now asking graduating MBAs to delay their start dates for months, and many students are expecting the worst

By Lindsey Gerdes


For this year's MBA grads, "no" seems to be the answer to everything. No offers. No jobs. No internships. No call-backs. No interviews. Thanks, but no thanks. For those lucky students who already have an offer in hand, even yes comes with a no attached: Not yet.

In recent weeks, cash-strapped employers who have made firm offers have begun delaying start dates for MBA hires, mainly in service-based industries such as consulting, but also in more isolated instances at companies in industries ranging from consumer products to electronics.
Three- to Six-Month Delays


And it's not only new MBA grads who are facing delays. "We've had a couple of companies say to our interns: 'Can you start a couple of weeks later?' " says Jeffrey M. Fischer, director of the MBA Career Management Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Kenan-Flagler Business School (Kenan-Flagler Full-Time MBA Profile).

The delays for post-graduate permanent positions are usually anywhere from three to six months. Some companies such as Deloitte, which has confirmed delayed start dates for a handful of new MBA hires in its consulting practice, are providing graduates with partial compensation. Others are giving them an up-front signing bonus and even health benefits, while still others are offering little more than a handshake and a promise, leaving many wondering if the jobs will exist three or six months down the road.

With no money coming in, they're also wondering how they'll get by. One 28-year-old student at Northwestern's Kellogg Graduate School of Management (Kellogg Full-Time MBA Profile) had her start date with a global beverage company pushed back from just after Labor Day to January 2010. All she got was a relocation payment, and she won't get her signing bonus until 30 days after she starts. As a result, she'll may need to move in with her parents to make ends meet. "I really need that money now," she says, "not in six months."
"Assume You Don't Have a Job"


Like many graduates who told BusinessWeek about their delayed offers, this MBA insisted on anonymity for herself and the company, saying she feared alienating her potential future employer. BusinessWeek contacted all the companies that reportedly delayed start dates for these hires; all but Deloitte were unwilling to discuss them or provide details.

For graduates, delayed start dates create a dilemma: How do they stay on the good side of their intended employer while still hedging their bets to make sure they end up with some kind of paying job? Some have taken short-term opportunities at other employers, while others are secretly looking for other jobs, and still others are working for their future employers without pay until their official start date, just to keep their foot in the door.

Career counselors are advising students who have delayed start dates to seek temporary work to pay the bills and quietly pursue other positions so they can hit the ground running if their hoped-for job disappears. Some are less hopeful than others. Harry Kraemer, a former Baxter (BAX) CEO and current Kellogg professor, advised MBAs at a recent panel discussion at Kellogg to treat the offers as nonexistent and hope to be proven wrong. "If your start dates get pushed back," he told them, "just assume you don't have a job."

Pushing back start dates during dips in the economic cycle is not unheard of. In fact, employers have been known to delay start dates in every economic downturn, most recently in 2002.

This year, says Roxanne Hori, assistant dean and director of career management at Kellogg, the delays are more widespread, but they aren't yet as long as they were in 2002, when one Kellogg grad waited 18 months before finally starting his job.

But what if the economy doesn't turn around in the next six months? Hori hopes that companies will learn from their past mistakes and realize that in the short term it's not worth the reputational damage to ultimately rescind these offers, as some did in 2002, and in the long term, it is also detrimental to the success of the company. "From the short-term perspective, there is a branding issue. But more important is the impact internally. When you have a gap year when you don't have much talent coming through, it creates some lapses later on. You don't have a pipeline and that becomes a problem."
How to Hedge Your Bets


For MBAs, deferred start dates—even if the jobs do, ultimately, materialize—are a real hardship, says Maury Hanigan, president of the MBA Scouting Report. Many have mortgages or have uprooted their families to attend business school, so they don't have a spouse with an income to help pay the bills. "They can't just go and play in Europe for six months," Hanigan says. "They're older and they tend to be more established. They tend to have families or at least spouses. And they've got school debt kicking in."

The problem is that searching for a new job after having already accepted one is sometimes viewed as inappropriate, a violation of an unwritten code between employers and employees. Even so, Hanigan says, many MBA grads with delayed start dates are throwing job-hunting etiquette to the wind. "Realistically, I think students are keeping their eyes and ears open for other opportunities, but trying to do it quietly so they don't risk the job they have in hand."

Some who have accepted some form of payment—be it a relocation stipend, signing bonus, or partial compensation—say they feel they have formally committed to starting at a later date. But many say their future employers are encouraging them to take short-term project assignments with other companies to generate income during the interim.

First and foremost, says Kenan-Flagler's Fischer, students should try to be as honest as possible with their future employers so that they don't burn bridges. "The one thing I would tell students more than anything is how you handle yourself in a crisis situation sets the stage for how you're perceived in your career."

But even Fischer admits it's good to have a back-up plan. To give students one, UNC recently partnered with a training firm to give 40 new MBA grads a four-day crash course in credit analysis, analyzing and restructuring a company's debt. "We asked the question, in a bad market how do you take our finance education, which is quite good, and get the rubber to the road?"

Not a bad back-up plan to have because, while some job offers will eventually pan out, other students may ultimately be forced to get creative."

HAYDEN KHO AND KATRINA HALILI CONTROVERSY!

I feel so saddened that our country is now facing a very tough issue in its history.The dispute about the alleged sex xcandal of Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili, both prominent in the Philippine Entertainment Industry. Hayden Kho being the Ex Boyfriend of the famous Dra. Vicky Belo and Katrina Halili being one of the hottest stars in showbiz.

Sex scandal is undoubtedly a major issue nowadays in the world. It is one of what they called greatest issues of all time. but the continous spreading out of these scandals is absolutely infavorable on the part of the Religious and moral individuals.

In this modern times, technology is continously rapidly blooming with the various gadgets that are coming out our way, and even videos particularly sex scandals can now be easily access to the internet through various websites like you tube and you porn etc.

It is so depressing that there are no laws/bills yet in our constitution regarding the eradication of this sex video scandals in the internet. It has been said that there are already some politicians who have made bills like this but still it seems that the government ignores and focus on the things that will benefit them most.
The Sex Video Scandals of Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili was said to be taken 2 years ago,,, and it was just being seen by the public just recently. The big question now is Who is/are the person/persons involved in spreading out this sex video scandals of the two in the internet? Initially, it was been said that Hayden was the one behind this dispersing of the videos, but in the previous interview, he deniably said He was not the one! as the issue passes by, the 2 close friends of Hayden were pointed out as the ones who spread out the videos but that is still in the process of verification.

As I'm watching this news about this scandals, I can;t avoid but ask myself, Who is/ are really the victim (s) of this alleged sex videos?, Is it really Katrina alone or there are still others? this question was being answered a few days ago as reported in the news that there are also other women with Hayden Kho who have sex video scandals which are spreading out also in the internet, there was this brazilian model and a new actress then in the philippines etc.

At the moment, The issues is still in its hottest level, Katrina Halili already filed a case in the court regarding this issue, She was now also being supported by some prominent organizations, friends in the industry and her families in fighting aginst those people who have made things like this to her.

I am hoping that The truth will prevail in the end, and the following questions will be answered: What is really the motive of spreading this videos out? Will the government wake up and push thru some bills regarding this protection against women? Will the sex scandals be totally eliminated in the internet? Indeed the truth will set us free.

Right now, what we can do is to continue pray that this isuue will be resolve soon and let us unite and cooperate to stop the spreading out of this sex video scandals and other immoral and unnnecessary videos that ruin the minds of the people.

OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD ( KERYGMA, DECEMBER ISSUE)

This simple yet indeed inspirational article was taken in the December Issue of Keryma Magazine, a Catholic Inspirational Magazine available at St. Paul Located at SM City Pampanga. Let me share you the whole story of this influential write-up entitled " Occupational Hazard". Here it goes...


Did you hear about the man who was looking for a job?

He noticed there was an opening at the local zoo. upon inquiry, he discovered the zoo had a very unusual position that they wanted to fill. apparently their gorilla had died, and until they could get a new one, they needed someone to dress up in a gorilla suit and act like a gorilla for a few days. he was just to sit, sleep and eat.

Of course, his entity would be kept secret, and no one would be the wiser, thanks to a very fine gorilla suit. the zoo offered good pay for this job, so the man decided to do it. He tried on the suit and sure enough, he looked just like a gorilla. They led him to the cage; He took a position at the back of the cage and pretended to sleep.

But after a while, he got tired of sitting so he walked around a little bit, jumped up and down and tried a few gorilla noises. The people watching him seemed to really like that. When he would move or jump around, they would clap and cheer and throw him peanuts. So he jumped around some more and tried climbing a tree. That seemed to really get the crowd excited. They threw more peanuts.

Playing to the crowd, he grabbed a vine and swung from one side of the cage to the other. The people loved it and threw more peanuts. "WOW! This is great," he thought. He swung and the crowd grew bigger. He continued to swing on the vine, getting higher and higher and then all of a sudden, the vine broke! He swung up and out of the cage, landing in the lion's cage that was next door.

He panicked. There was a huge lion not 20 feet away and it look very hungry. So the man in the gorilla suit started jumping up and down, screaming and yelling, " Help, help! Get me out of here! I'm not really a gorilla! I'm a man in a gorilla suit! HELP! the lion quickly pounced on the man, hel him down and said, " Will you be quite! You're going to get both of us fired!"
