I missed my LJ! I was on hiatus mode for quite some time and since I can't find the "delete my account" link here I realized that maybe this LJ is worth keeping (although I guess I need to update my layout).

So, what have I been doing these past few months.

WORK

I'm still with TTech (1 year, 5 months, and counting...). I'm still a full-time recruiter and sourcerer (that's how Rache and I call our post) and a part-time marketer. Honestly speaking, I'm happy with what I'm doing now although there were some attempts to leave and start anew. (Unfortunately, it seems like they don't like me. Too bad for me. So I guess I'm staying.)

FRIENDS

I'm sure of one thing here, I MISS MY FRIENDS!!!

Lisa is now in the US.
Sugar and my sister are still in the US.
Marie is somewhere out there.
Aico is just here in PI but we rarely see each other.
Haven't heard of Rowie since 2007. Blame it to my lost phone and to his brother who didn't give my new contact number to Rowie.
Abbey is no where to be found. (Exxageration!) I haven't heard of her since last year. What happened Abbey??
Same goes for Dung. :(

I'll try to update more and write more soon.

I've Never Worked My Entire Life

2009-02-14T06:07:31Z

February 6, 2009 (back-date)

Last Monday, I felt like putting a little drama in my communicator's note. So I placed "Where do I begin...? I've never worked my entire life. Cheer me up. I need it.". Come Thursday, my dear boss pinged me and asked if I need cheering up. Of course I said NO. Did you expect me to say YES to him? So here's the complete story behind the dramatic note. Read on.

This week was the most toxic I've ever had so far this year. Below are some of the reasons:

- an initiative re-launch

- newspaper ad (which is supposed to be released on Sunday)

- agent and support ramp (sourcing initiatives, both external and internal)

- the juice-extracting finance template

- reports

- my LinkUp! items

Did I tell you that I'm enjoying? Now, let me think twice. Or thrice.

Welcome ME!

2009-02-14T06:03:51Z

I've been reading a friend’s blog for quite sometime now and I really enjoy reading his thoughts. And it made me want to reactivate my drifting LJ and Multiply accounts. So if you see this entry posted on your next visit, that's a confirmation!

------

Now, what do I want to talk about... For sure I don't like to talk about myself, directly at least. *wink* But since this is my first entry after (what) 9 months, then maybe there's nothing wrong if I talk a little about myself. Don't get me wrong, this is not narcissism --- yet. :)

Let's get the blog rolling! (If there's such a phrase.)

2008 was an overwhelming year for me - I had a new job four days after I left my previous company, I gained new friends, learned a lot, got promoted, and gained weight (that is still overwhelming). All in a span of 12 months. :)

With my new role? I’m enjoying everything in, on, under, (whatever!) it. I just love what I'm doing now more than what I was doing before. Yes, there are a LOT of stress (Have I told you that I was diagnosed with Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?) but I feel good. Super good! Right now I'm still in the process of learning everything about my new role, but I enjoy the process.

BIRTHDAY DAW.

2008-03-02T07:30:47Z

It's my birthday!

Walang special today. Ehehe. Parang wala lang kasi ang ginawa ko mag-hapon ay mag-install ng printer at mag-sasa TS sa DSL connection.

Ayun lang. Walang picture. Hehehe.

NEW LIFE!

2008-02-21T07:44:06Z

So far, I love where I am. Hehehe. I think I have found the "right" place for me. But of course there are times when I feel a little disappointed and a bit "nega" especially when my expectations were not met.

It feels good to be here! <3

COOL JOBS. FUN PEOPLE. GREAT PAY. (THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY.)

HELP!

2008-01-04T20:30:34Z

I'm not good in saying goodbyes. I don't know why but I just can't keep myself firm and strong in these moments. All I know is that it's painful within and when I'm faced in this kind of situtation, I just can't keep those tears from falling. And I'm afraid that I have to do that soon.. AGAIN.

Basically, with or without the offer from that company, I have made up my decision to leave. Although as I've said leaving is really not my forte, I've had this plan for months now, maybe 5 months to be exact and I don't want anyone to ruin this plan anymore. Just give it as a gift for me please. Don't make me feel guilty on this decision and just make me feel that I'm mature enough to decide on my own. You might think that I am so selfish but I would disagree on that. I've stayed longer than what was planned and I have already "sacrificed" a part of my "dream" for the sake of being here. I've had too much and I can't take another dose anymore.

Right now I am a bit confused on the decisions that I need to make soon. A part of me tells me to go and explore what's in store for me out of my comfort zone, while the other half scares me of the uncertainties that might happen if I go there. This morning I asked a few of my close friends on their opinion regarding this matter and honestly it only made me feel more confused. One of them suggested to make pros and cons and here's the list:

PROS:

nice company, nice position, regular working hours, sat-sun restday, job in line with field

CONS:

not so good compensation, far away from home, no place to stay yet, project-based, be all alone there, i need to bring my own things (btw, i don't own anything except for my clothes, shoes, bags, books, and the rest of my abubots inside my magic box.)

UNCERTAINTIES:

happiness/fulfillment, if it's worth giving up the comfort of being at home and closer to friends

Basically the pros encourage me to go, the cons scare me and the uncertainties scare me even more. Nice right? Now, how should I go over this?

------

SHOULD I GO CHASE THE DAYLIGHT AND SEIZE THE MOMENT OR SHOULD I LET IT PASS?

si neka talaga, misteryosa. sosyal!

O wag kang tumingin

wag mo akong kulitin
wag mo akong tanungin

Dahil katulad mo
ako rin ay nagbago
di na tayo katulad ng dati
kay bilis ng sandali
O kay tagal kitang minahal

Kung iisipin mo
di naman dati ganito
teka muna teka lang
kailan tayo nailang

Kung iisipin mo
di naman dati ganito
kay bilis kasi ng buhay
pati tayo natangay

O kay tagal kitang minahal

Tinatawag kita
sinusuyo kita di mo man marinig
di mo man madama
O kay tagal kitang mamahalin

HAPPY NEW YEAR SA LAHAT!

musta naman ako, nasa office habang nagpuputukan at nagkaka-toxican sa mga hospitals dahil sa mga naputulang ng kamay, paa, daliri, pilik-mata, etc.. kaya nga di ko na tinuloy maging nars kasi ayaw ko sa dugo at ayaw ko nakakakita ng mga taong nahihirapan.

pero ganun pa man, kasama ko si jen na magdiriwang ng bagong taon sa office. sabi nga niya baka one year daw kami nasa trabaho nyan at di na magkaroon ng rest day. wag naman sana Lord. please lang.

at as usual, pag new year merong mga new year's resolution dyan. and for that eto ang listahan ko:

1. magbawas ng taba/timbang. - di na nakakatuwa ang paglaki ko. parang araw-araw ata e lumalaki ako.

2. matututong mag-ipon. - sa loob ng pitong buwan kong pagttrabaho e ni singkong duling wala man lang ako naitabi sa bangko o sa piggy bank.

3. sipagin sa pagbabasa at pagsusulat. - sayang naman ang mga taon na inilagi ko sa iskwela kung lulumutin lang mga natutunan ko kunwari di ba. musta naman ako for that, sayang yung tuition fee.

4. magkaroon ng saysay ang apat na taon ko sa kolehiyo. - may saysay naman ang ginagawa ko ngayon pero parang di ko talaga masyado ma-feel yung saysay kahit anong pag-momotivate ang gawin ko.

5. magkaroon ng mas maraming time para sa pamilya. - feeling ko kasi napaka-selfish ko kasi halos ng panahon ko nauubos sa sarili ko. di bale sana kung naaaliw ako sa sarili ko kasi hindi eh.

at eto naman ang mga nais ko ma-accomplish or magkaroon sa taong 2008:

MATERIALISTIC:

1. gusto ko magkaroon ng kotse. yan ang una sa listahan ko. kahit anong klaseng kotse basta hindi yung "microwave" na kotse (d ko na babangitin kung anong klase yun baka maka-offend pa ako). dapat yung magkakasya naman yung mga tao sa bahay kasi mahirap mag-commute at pamahal na pamahal pamasahe. mga siguro end of the year na yung target date ko dito unless mapaaga yung blessing.

2. magtitipid din ako para makabili ng laptop. pero di naman masyadong nasa priority list to eh, gusto ko lang talaga magkaroon para mas masaya.

3. gusto ko rin magkaroon na ng kapalit si mio tsaka magkaroon din ng selepono si mew para maging txtm8s kami. ayos lang naman kay mew kahit anong selepono kaya di ako masyadong mahihirapan dun.

4. nais ko magkaroon ng account sa bangko. feeling ko kasi di ako tuluyan makakapag-ipon kung hawak hawak ko yung mga gusto ko ipunin kasi pag alam ko na may pera ako, bili ako ng bili ng pagkain. di naman obvious bat ganito na ako kalaki.

5. gusto ko mag-shopping monthly. ahaha. di naman 'to masyadong counted.

6. magkaroon ng bagong trabaho. as much as possible ayaw ko na maging taga-sagot ng telepono at bumabati sa mga foreigner na tumatawag at nagbebenta ng mga bagay/service na di ko pa nakita/na-experience. kahit di gaano kataasan ang sahod (pero wag naman medyo mababa) basta alam ko na fulfilling ang ginagawa ko. kasi naniniwala ako na ibinibigay ni God sa atin ang mga bagay na meron tayo para i-enjoy at hindi para maging burden sa atin. at palagay ko magiging succesful ako pag nag-eenjoy ako sa ginagawa ko.

7. bilhin yung mga libro na napupusuan ko sa bookstore. medyo may price din ng konti pero ayos naman gawing investment at tsaka worth reading sila.

8. maka-enrol sa gym para naman mabawasan ang taba at timbang ko.

NON-MATERIALISTIC:

9. lumaki ang small group ko. pinagppray ko na maging mature kaming lahat as we discover the great moments sa year 2008.

10. magkaroon ako ng passion sa discipleship.

11. gusto ko atleast once or twice a month eh lumabas kami nila dew, mew, at ang mga kapatid ko. yun tipong kain sa labas, date date.

12. dumami pa lalo ang mga kaibigan ko at sempre ma-maintain or lalo pa maging strong yung relationship namin ng mga old friends.

13. maka-enrol sa grad school. sa totoo lang di ko alam san ko to icclassify. pero malamang dito sya, kasi di naman material yung knowledge eh. ewan ko ba bat atat na atat ako sa grad school.

14. dumating na si pag-ibig? hehe. di naman talaga dapat andito 'to eh. wala lang, wala kasi ako masulat dito sa number 14. sa totoo lang, di naman ako nagmamadali sa pagdating nya. darating din naman sya eh, baka na-traffic lang. o baka naman nahihiya sya. [wag ka na mahiya pare, ayos lang yan. hehehe.]

15. magkaroon ng madaming peace at love and mundo. ehehe. wala na ako ilagay talaga.

16. ETC (end of thinking capacity)

A GREAT YEAR AHEAD PARA SA LAHAT!

WE ROCK!

UPDATE.

2007-12-16T10:47:40Z

This is the "sequel" (can't find the word to use here) of my lsat post on "Pedro: the wander boy".

Last night, I was so bothered so I decided to call him and ask if we could meet after my shift (because I know he is going home on Sundays). I was uber hungry and I think we really need to talk personally. However, he did not answer the call and I don't want to speculate why he didn't pick up the phone. So after shift I sent him an SMS and asked if we could eat. I only received his reply when I was already home eating the carbonara on the table.

CONVERSATION:

Me: I tried calling kanina. I just want to ask if you're going home tonight. I thought lang if we cud eat.
(after ___ minutes)
P: Pde ako kaso kakauwi ko lang.
Me: Kumakain na ako. Gutom kasi ako kanina kaya naisip ko lang if we could meet and eat. (What an excuse!)
P: Pde pa ba nxt time?
Me: I'm not sure kasi 9pm na sked ko nxt wk.
P: Ganun ba. How about the other week?
Me: Di ko din alam eh. When ka ba pde nun nxt wk?
P: Wednesday wala na ako pasok so pde na ako anytime nun.
Me: Talaga? Sige, wed na lang. On leave naman ako nun. What time ka pde?
P: Dinner na lang.
Me: San?
P: Ikaw bahala. :-)
Me: Sige, wed 6pm. Kasi yung kakilala ko madalas di maaga dumadating eh. (SIYA YUNG DI MAAGA DUMADATING LAGI. Once lang sya naghintay sa akin, and traffic pa nun kaya nag-antay siya.)
P: Sige. Saan?
Me: Dun sa Mister Frosty near uni? ok ba?
P: Ok lang.
Me: (no reply)

Aiun. On Wed, we'll meet. And I don't know what to do that day. Basically, I just want to meet with him to have a nice closure of everything. As I've said in my previous post, I don't want to put our friendship to an end because that's all we have. And also it's one way din for me to move on and start over again. I don't know if that is a wise decision but I have already set the date and it's final (unless something bad happen. ehehe.).

I'll update soon.

LONG POST.

2007-12-11T12:29:09Z

Finally, I'm back to the dead shift (as they call it). Ef joined me till 6pm but then he already left. And obviously, now I am alone here typing this post using the forbidden notepad and I am wishing that Manong Infraction will not catch me.

I really love Ef! <3 A bunch of flowers for you! <<3333

-------

Yesterday, I met my LIFE group and we talked about "God Moments". It's all about understanding the opportunities that God is giving us everyday. Whether you want to believe it or not, God is giving us great opportunities everyday and oftentimes we miss these opportunities because at first we see them as obstacles, hindrances, or out-of-my-action-plan moments.

But if we will go just go and read what God has promised us in Ephesians 1:4a (NLT), our mindset will just change. It says there that long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love. (It's just the same as we are the apples of His eyes.) So why do we need to doubt God's reserved moments for us? So the next time that you are faced in a very impossible moment, take that as one of the God moments and I am sure that once you already surpassed that "impossible moment" and you look back, you will just be enormously surprised that God made that "impossible moment" POSSIBLE because He has great plans for you.

-----

Last week, I had the time to talk to Pedro (exchange of SMS). I decided to take that time to just tell him what I feel.

BACKGROUND/FLASHBACK:

Pedro is a friend who happened to be my classmate in college. We don't usually see each other but we are good good friends. He transferred to another school on our third year in college (while I shifted to another course on our second year). Right now he is still in college because of some wrong priorities in the past but he is so determined to finish soon ("soon" = I don't know when).

Basically, Pedro and I used to have something "special". I can't call it a serious one but it's just "special" for quite a long time. I don't know why it never became a serious one, maybe because we have different reasons. I, myself, don't like to be committed then because I was so young (I always see myself as a young teenage girl) and I don't want to ruin a relationship because I am committed to alot of things. (To make it simple, I have poor time management. XP) We'll I can't speak for Pedro but later on we'll know why the "special one" never became a "serious one" but instead it ended as a "painful one" or a "regretful one"..

I can't remember as to when it all started. All I know is that we were special. We went out, went to the movies, exchanged SMS, talked over the phone, and dined together. And I was happy all those days. That was the time that I was able to differentiate the feeling between dating girl-friends, boy-friends, and dating him. On our dates I'd always wished that time will just stop or go slow, but of course it never happened. Nonetheless, I was still happy at the end of the day. Maybe it's the same feeling when a teenage girl experienced dating someone special. It's so ecstatic!.

But everthing changed when he started to become invisible. I did not hear anything from him for months and everyday I constantly wondered what happened. I asked common friends about him but then they also don't know what happened to him. I became sad or terribly sad that I became so fat (depression makes me fat). But everyday, I constantly checked on him (either tried calling him or sent him SMS) but there was no reply. And I did that for almost like three months?

Then one day, I received an SMS from an unknown person. And it was him. I was extremely happy that I unconsciously forgot to eat dinner (I did not lose weight though). And for a week we were special. I checked him on Friendster and found out that he accepted my invitation (after MONTHS!). And that day, I found out that I am no longer special. I can't explain the feeling, but it's like time suddenly stopped and I can't breath. And the worst thing is, he never told me nor did he explain what happened. He acted as if nothing happened at all.

But then I did not put our friendship to an end because in the first place that's all we had. We're just good good friends. I invited him for a "pizza date" so we could catch up with each other (me not minding the pain) and he said yes. But everything has changed already. His promises are now broken promises. That plan never happened up to this time (and I don't have plans of making it happen). He would always tell me about how their relationship is going, like they usually have petty arguments and that he can't understand her. And me being the natural peacemaker would just advice him to work it out and try talking to her. And everytime I tell him that, I just can't help but cry and eat more.

Too much for the background. I don't want to burst in tears here.

GOING BACK...

Here is the conversation that we had that day... (no longer accurate but that is what my heart can remember)

P: Kelan ang pizza?
Me: Wala ng pizza.
P: E di sa booth na lang? (booth = party in their village)
Me: Wala na rin yun.
P: Bakit naman? :-(
Me: Ayaw kita makita dba?
P: Bakit?
Me: Because I want to.
P: Bakit nga?
Me: Aii, do you really expect me wanting to see you and have a date? Don't you think that is so unfair on my part? Are you that indifferent?
P: Why?

(So I tried to explain to him in the simplest way I could so that he can fully understand it me not minding how hurtful it will be on my part trying to explain how indifferent he is.)

Me:Everything is different now. I'll be sad if ever I'll see you.
P: Bakit nga? Di naman ako mukhang sad ah
Me: (getting impatient for his being so indifferent) You already have her. And as much as possible I don't want to see you be it planned or by accident because it's so unfair on my part. I know that you know that we had something special in the past and it will just make me feel sad if we'll meet again.
P: Haii.. Akala ko kasi friends lang tayo nun.
Me: Did I tell you that?
P: No, but you made me feel that way
Me: (impatient and sarcastic) Ganun ba? Remember that day when I walked from Balibago to SM just to meet you because I don't want that traffic to ruin everthing?
Me: So now, do you understand why I don't want to see you? Do you understand why it will be so unfair?

(I even wanted to tell it on his face that he is so insensitive and indifferent. I'm just so glad that I was able to keep myself calm because my aunt is with me.)

And then he replied: Pahinga ka na.

INSENSITIVE!

BTW, his reason why our special beginning ended this way is because he thought "friends lang tayo nun". OMG! What an explanation.

Also based from our conversation, it seems like it was my fault. How poor of me. I have poor time management and poor interpersonal skills. A big fart for you Pedro.

LET'S STEAL DONUTS!

(To those who will be able to read this post, it's just fine if you tell me that you read it but please let's not talk about it anymore. Thanks.)

A NEW ME!

2007-12-08T04:11:28Z

I think it's just a right time for an update. I need to update myself so that I won't forget what Iam feeling right now.

So here's the random update:

1. LIFE COACHING

My life group is so awesome! They are one of the best young ladies I've ever met. And I am so thankful that I met them and they accepted me not just as their LIFE Coach but as their Ate as well. (I just love it being called an Ate by someone younger than me. I don't care if other people would think that I am old. *grin*)

I really love these people because they wait for us every Monday, stay in school til 7PM for the LIFE coaching, share their emotion, suggestion, and opinion, etc. They are just so great!

And these great people are: Melissa, Aileen, Lei, Steph, and Naomi (that's not the right spelling but I want it that way). My prayer is for us to grow in numbers, years, and maturity.

2.WORK STATUS

I'm planning to say bye bye to my current job and say hello to another. After the long agony (for the exxageration of word), I decided to finally make a firm decision of leaving. It's not easy but I should. It no longer makes me feel good. It's not easy because I am not yet prepared to present myself to other companies but when will I ever be prepared if I won't start soon. I already informed our APM yesterday about it, and as usual I cried because I'm not comfortable in saying goodbyes and hearing "why are you leaving" and "i miss you". But then that is another point of discussion. Ehehe.

3. DIET.

I always say that I'll lose weight for the umpteenth time but still I am not doing anything. BTW, fat-burning pills are not good remedies.

4. FRIENDS

Oh, I really miss my super duper great friends! I want to schedule another date with them. No one can replace them talaga. I LOVE YOU SUPER DUPER GREAT PSYCH FRIENDS!

When is our date? Our EK trip? Our overnight? (I'm not exited, am I?)

5. 7 MONTHS AND 20 LBS LATER

My gulay! I gained 20 lbs after 7 months of working there. So that is like an average of 2.85 lbs a month. I'll try to check pictures that will show the big difference. Ehehe.

6. NEW HAIR.

I just had my hair permed last week and it still looks fine. It really works for me because I don't usually comb my hairl. Now I have an excuse for looking weird. I really love deviating from the norm (straight or rebonded hair).

ENCHANTED ME

2007-12-01T01:53:16Z

I want to see Enchanted. Balak ko sana sya mapanuod yesterday pero I was so sleepy kasi I haven't slept for more than 24 hours.

Who wants to come with me?

---

Ahhhh.. I don't want to see you. PROMISE!

Let's take it one day at a time:

1. Don't want to see/meet you

2. Don't want to talk to you

3. Don't want to text/send you SMS

4. Don't want to remember your phone number

5. Don't want to see you in Friendster

6. Don't want to remember your name

7. Don't want to know you existed EVER!

Ahaha. I can be so cruel (for the word)! I just don't want to be hurt.

When is Christmas? How come the tree in the house is so empty? Where are the gifts? Where are my gifts? Where are the answers to my wishlist?

C'mon, don't surprise me. I am used to surprises just like how he surprised me.

I miss my small group. I love you gurls! <3

WE CAN BE HEROES

2007-11-17T02:58:45Z

A new series started last night and it is titled HEROES. (I think it is the current series on Sunday service and they just modified it to fit for the young people. Basically the point is anyone can be a hero regardless of his/her background, position, age, or influence* (*i'm not sure on this one, I'll check it when I get home.)

The first unknown hero that is in the series is Rahab (her story is found in the book of Joshua 2. You can find her story online.). She became a hero because she played a big role in the victory of the Israelites against Jericho and saved her family during the battle.

The first point is YOU CAN BE A HERO REGARDLESS OF YOUR BACKGROUND.

I definitely agree to that. Regardless of who we are or what other people think about us, we all can be heroes. God is not looking on what you did or had experienced in the past. He is actually an expert in making a trash into a treasure, just like to what He did to Rahab's life.

We all can be heroes if we'll only obey God completely.

HI AGAIN!

I haven't updated for quite a long time because I was so busy creating my little world full of nonsense events. Ü

For the past weeks I spent my day sleeping to the point of skipping breakfast and lunch at home. I was so idle and somehow I enjoyed it. But then as they say too much of something is not good. I gained too much weight, I find it difficult to walk around the mall, I can't find clothes that will fit my huge structure and breath well while talking. As Roan said when he was still with the team, I am too huge to be true. What a compliment.

After weeks of enjoying idleness, now I am faced in a great depression which I am not sure if it will do anything good for me. Yesterday I received an SMS from Shey telling me about the gym that is near their place. She asked if I am still interested joining her. I told her that I am still not sure because I don't have rubber shoes. I know it's a lame excuse, but it's true. Maybe I'll join her when I already received feedback from her about that gym. Hahahaha.

---

They said the 13th month will be released on the 30th and I can't wait for that day because it means that I can get my new phone already. Mio (my current phone's name) is backing out on me. I can't receive SMS anymore unless I turn it off, neither can I receive calls even when it has signal. I can't blame Mio. I've had him since 2004. And I am so thankful for the times that it stood by me. Ü

I also made my Christmas list and I am planning to go to divi with my Ate to get most of the stuffs there because I heard from Mye that a bag costs P100-P200. I'm planning to give bags to most of the people in my list. I just hope that someone still remember my own wish list. Hahahaha.

BTW, once I received my most awaited 13th month pay I'm set to leave with or without a new place to go. I have experienced how it's like to take calls and do sales craft , I think its about time for me to use my other skills which I am yet to discover. *grin*

--- Speaking of skills. Lately, I have thought of joining the groves of academe. I don't know but I want to experience how it is to teach especially Psychology which is still a very mysterious or should I say interesting subject for some. As Dad would always say, teaching is not easy and it is so tiring yet very fulfilling if it is done with a heart. I am well aware of the difficult and tiring part. Fulfilling? Done with a heart? I haven't experienced those yet and I am so excited to have those in my basket of experiences. But anyway, I am still waiting for my BOSS's (God) answer. Basta, I am excited with the thought that there is a possibility that I can be in the academe.

I want to go to grad school but I am not sure if Tin and Kim are still interested. If everything will be okay next year, like if I'll get a good job and my schedule will allow me to, I will enroll either I/O or Clinical. Basically I want to get Clinical but since Dad said that I/O in terms of financial benefits so I am still considering it. Anyway, it is still a plan. But definitely I miss school a lot!

--- Another semester started last Monday and I am so happy for those who will be graduating by 2008 especially to my Bio and Psych friends. I envied them so much during their sembreak because they were able to rest for more than two weeks and come December they'll have Christmas break and then by January it will be college month for CAS. It's like half of the academic year is alloted for the holidays which is very unlikely to happen in the workplace unless it is in a school setting.

Haii.. I am ingit for that.

Too much for an update. Hahaha. Be updating soon when I'm done beautifying my own little world.

Bloom wherever you are planted.

SLEEPY MODE.

2007-10-06T20:50:53Z

Tonight, I spent the whole shift reading Ala's previous entries. Although I have read these before, I was just too bored that I decided to reread them.

Right now I am so sleepy that I can actually see two monitors in front of me and when I look up the lights I think that they are fading away. I am also hungry alhough I ate several times during this shift (now don't ask me why I suddenly grew bigger).

Ate Rona flew away na today. And maybe she'll be back in the next couple of years. I also want to get my passport so I can go to a newer place. Ahahaha.

Today is a special Sunday not only to the Filipinos but maybe for the whole world. And I can tell that the streets are clear later because everyone would love to see the Pacquiao-Barerra (SP?) fight. Driving can be so less stressful today. And I hope kuya manong driver will not be in a hurry to drop the passengers off the road. Uhmmm.. I wonder how would the people feel if there will be power outage later during the fight.

----

I came across this statement in Ala's entries and I think this best describes the narcissistics in us.

"I am my best subject because I know myself best".

Am I right? :-p

--- Today is not my so lucky shift. I ended having 8% for my conversion while the goal is 48%. Add the nonsale call that was monitored a while ago, that makes my shift a glamorous one.

---

I miss Uni already. I miss the scent of college students as well as the profs.

I want to work there provided that I'll be getting the same salary that I am getting now.

I miss college.

I miss mcdonalds, 7eleven, KFC, Mister Frosty, and yolly's.

I miss my college friends.

---

December is near na. I need to make a decision soon. I hope I could make up my mind just in case the offer will still be available by that time. And I wish for a better offer that I can consider.

HELLO WORLD!

My back aches. And it makes me miss Mommy Ai more. She used to put that "amoy lola" oil on my back when it aches and even massage my back din. Huhuhuh.. I miss my mom! T.T

This morning I watched Oprah, which is so unusual because I rarely find time to watch TV. Tapos may guest dun who is a pastor of one congregation in the Kansas City and he talked about their Complaint-free World campaign. Parang they are putting up a challenge to everyone not to complain for 21 days. Tapos to make things a little cuter, they are giving away bracelets (or baller ID ba tawag dun like yung sa LIFE) tapos one can put it on either wrist ideally for 21 days to complete the challenge. Pero once na that person will complain, even for just a very petty thing, he/she would have to make lipat the bracelet to the other side and start counting the days all over again. Tapos once you already have the bracelet and you saw someone who wears it and complain, sabi nung pastor before you approach that person to tell him/her not to complain, switch mo muna daw yung bracelet on the other side because you yourself is complaining because you saw that person complain. Logical di ba? Ehehehe.

It's so interesting to do lalo na sa mga tao who complains a lot, like me although I complain lang naman about small things like "ang init", "ang tagal ni manong jeep", "ang hirap kausap ng customer", "mababa conversion for today", "kakasawa na ang trabaho", and the list goes on. Tapos while watching yung segment na yun, it made me think kung bat nga ba ako laging reklamadora to think na it doesn't make me any better naman and worst pa is lalo lang ako nadedepress which later leads to eating a lot! I am so fond of complaining about things that I cannot change and even though I have the power to change some eh I'm so lazy naman to act on them. Alam mo yun, so ewan lang talaga. (As if naman now I am not complaining about myself di ba?)

Anyway, dun sa latter part nung segment sabi dun na they are sending these Complaint-free World bracelets all over the world FOR FREE kaya naman I immediately looked for the site and ordered 10 bracelets. And I am so uber excited na to receive the package and give to some close friends.

Hay naku! So excited na! Bale once I have received na the package, di na rin pwede mga complaints dito sa LJ/Multiply? This must be tough.

WHO WANTS TO TAKE THE COMPLAINT-FREE CHALLENGE?

rantings and wantings (if there's such word)

2007-10-01T18:40:55Z

Thank God that I was able to enjoy my weekend off yesterday!

After the Sunday service Irish and I went to Perfect Loaf for lunch and continue our Purple Book "class". After our lunch date, Marc told me that they were in SM and Alvin is buying a birthday gift and they need help. Being the so atat helpful person myself, I immediately said ok. Buying a gift for someone you don't know can be very difficult. So we just settled in getting the alphabet mat thing [just like Sean's mat]. After having the gift wrapped, Alvin insisted on going to the movies. I didn't want to go because I'm really sleepy na and they wanted me to make libre. Just imagine not having a good round of sleep for 2 days! But of course again, me being the so atat din to go to the movies I said ok na naman. So after the negotiation process of who will make libre who, they decided to watch Chuck and Larry. READ: THEY.

I really miss going out with them kahit na I always end up following na lang what they want to do kasi super outnumbered ako lagi. And if only I'm not so tired and bangag and a little nagbubudget, I would even love to watch pa another movie. Kaya lang it so happened na I'm so tired, bangag, and a little gipit kaya hanggang Chuck and Larry lang ako. eheheh.

One thing that I like about the movie is yung value of friendship. There are moments in our lives when the only people we can turn to are our friends especially kung yung issue is something that you can't share with a anybody else. It made me feel so grateful that I have friends like "the boys", tipsy, suth friends, and everyone kasi they are always there when I'm talaga in need. Tapos after nung grateful feeling, andun din yung guilt feeling na there are so many times na I am not there for them when they need me because I am so busy with my super duper exciting life! But I know that they understand me. They always understand me, I know.

It's October. And in the next couple of weeks it'll be my 5th month in my very exciting job. I realized that I've been filing my resignation for the past 4 months [past 5 months by the 20th of this month] but then I am just filing it in my head. And I am not happy.

I love my job, but only during rest day, end of the shift, and most of all during payday. But any time in between those moments, I feel the opposite. They say that being in the call center as a representative is the easiest job that one can get - after the shift you don't need to worry about reports neither do you have to make reports while in your shift. What you do is wait for your avaya/cisco to receive a call, hear a whisper, recite the script and make a sale if you are in the sales dept like me. It's so easy that it makes me a useless person. We'll I think the only though part is the sales talk part which I'm not really good at ever since the world began. And my everyday routine is taking its toll on me.

Sana December na. I want to breathe.

This sembreak I want to go to Sagada. I need fresh air.

UPDATE.

2007-09-28T01:55:05Z

Hi.

Tagal ko na di nakaka-update ng LJ/Multiply ko. Grabe. Di naman ako masyadong abala. Nakakatamad lang talaga mag-update pag walang ISP sa bahay.

Yung mga nasa wishlist ko unti-unti na natutupad. Maraming salamat sa AKIN.

-Nakabili na ako nung Chasing Daylight at malapit ko na sya matapos. Masaya siya basahin.

Yun lang.

BOW.

<3 wala pa rin development ang pagiging sales rep ko. ahaha.
<3 so proud!
<3 ayaw ko na magbenta!

<3 gusto ko na maging normal ulit.

ARE YOU AS EXCITED AS I AM?

2007-09-01T09:18:26Z

It's September.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

I'm so excited for Christmas because I am so positive that I can receive at least an item from my wish lists. And I want to heart this feeling until Christmas is around.

Ahem.. If you haven't read my wish list posts, feel free to check my previous posts.

Okay, enough for this.

WAYNBOE.

weeehhh..

galing ako ng cafeteria, tas paglabas ko may rainbow! dalawa.

1 rainbow + 1 rainbow = 2 rainbow/s [dapat ba may 's'?]

ang cute. alala ko yung song nung recognition nung grade school ako. [we'll kasama ako sa recognition.]

"red and yellow and pink and green.. orange and purple and blue. i can sing the rainbow, sing the rainbow. sing the rainbow tune.... listen with your eyes, listen with your eyes. and sing everything you see. i can sing the rainbow, sing the rainbow. sing along with me."

bat sabi ni mommy emma [teacher ko sa home econ nung HS] sa drafting class namin ROYGBIV daw kulay ng rainbow. i'm confused tuloy.
