hot coal

" Holding on to anger is like
grasping a hot coal
with the intent of throwing it
at someone else;
you are the one
who gets burned."
-Buddha, ancient Indian philosopher, founder of Buddhism

Thank Buddha for his philosophy and I will let go of the things that happened yesterday. Karma will get you whoever you are.

I am strong. No one can bring me down so I'm letting this go I won't let it ruin my day.

Nostalgia

My mom and I went grocecy yesterday. It was funny because all of the songs were the ones that we used to practice during the proms back in elementary and high school. It made me remember the stuff that we used to do. How everyone looked. What was the cool thing during that time. The friends that I hang out with.

I wonder...

How is everyone? What changed? Its interesting but I'm too apathetic right now to give it too much thought.

As told by Keeshy

"Someone one told me the grass is much greener on the other side..."

I was looking at my payslips and realized that my hours are slowly going down. Well, I felt bas coz christmas is near and I still haven't bought any gifts. So I decided not to take endshifts anymore..

I have made friends with the so called team b and I found out that they're not really different. MAybe because they don't have vices and they have other priorities or other places that they like to go to. But the grass isn't much greener on the other side. They're just the same shade.

5:07 blogging

I was excited that my friends and I agreed to meet up last saturday, Everything was set the time, place. But then they wanted to change everything until that we just cancelled the meeting.

Truth of the matter, I was sad and dissapointed. I thought they would understand my schedule since they don't have any work the following day and I have whicvh would start very early, then I have to adjust and adjust to everything? I can't afford to do that anymore. Not with the work that I have.

Pasta

Yesterday, I cooked Pasta for dinner. I saw it from a cooking show but I revised it. It was surprisingly good. Exceeded my expectations. Everyone was thankful but blaming me for making them eat a lot. hehe...

It's funny coz until now they don't really know how to spell my name. It's also funny coz my team mates and I also talked bout the chichas or junk food we used to eat and how we eat when we were kids. Rinbee, Pompoms, Pritos Rings...list goes on.

It's fun being a kid...

The past haunts

It's been months since my phone was stolen...
I was able to let go of the memories that came with it...
A new start.

Recently, I found out that someone had my phone and was texting people in my phonebook. Of course I was mad. The jerk was posing off as my cousin. A friend was asking if I wanna meet up with the guy but I'm not sure. It's not like I can take my phone back. right.

Anyways. new start. new memories to make.

Jaded

I wanna get out...
I wanna shout...
I wanna fly...

Lately, I've been feeling lost. I feel detached. I feel that I'm invisible. I don't really know when it started and what the cause is. I just feel that there is a hole inside me. There are a lot of things that I try to ignore and hold back. Questions are popping in my mind not knowing why. Sometimes I feel that I am being paranoid or maybe I'm looking for something..

Am I bored?

I don't really know but I feel I need change...

hmm...interesting

The Bottom Line

Build your intuitive senses by believing in yourself -- your gut won't let you down.

In Detail

An argument so ancient that you really can't remember the exact cause may be keeping you away from a loved one. Since neither of you seems willing to admit even partial responsibility for the initial event -- whatever it was -- the dispute could go down in the Guinness World Book as the most ridiculous argument that was never solved by two people who might otherwise have been friends forever. How about losing that infamous record in favor of thinking about all the good times?

I opened my firendster and read my horoscope. For some freaky reason, it seems to be applicable of what is happening to me. I never believed in horoscopes but I do read it for fun. Now here's the sitch...

There is this certain person that for some unknown reason I feel that he is isolating me from the group everytime the friends get together. I think he feels awkward when I'm there. Sometimes I feel that he doesn't want me to be there. He acts like I'm not there though there are times that he knows that I'm there and recognizes my presence. Truth of the matter, I kinda think that it's lame and gay for a guy to act that way. I don't think it's healthy for the group so I'm kinda paying less attention to him. Sort of the same way what he does...

Question? Why?

Let's take a back track few months, around July. He's new. He's was nice and he was the first one who talked to me. He always inviting us to the endshift gimiks. I thought. Hey, what a nice guy, friendly. We got close, He got sweet but I wasn't thinkin bout anything coz I know all the girls he likes. The guys always tease us but I never believed him. I'd rather be friends with him than something else. Then he made progress with his so-called business , I knew the sweetness would stop. I never changed how I was with him but he seemed awkward and he ws trying to ignore me, which made me think. What the???? Right...

Anyway, I could stipulate a lot of reasons but I think I can never ask why. Like they say there are some things never meant to be spoken of. I guess this one is included...

text messages

Ever since Globe had the text non stop promo. I have been getting a lot of messages from friends.

When I got that message I remembered one of the topics that we had debated over beer with my team mates not that I drink or anything. Well, I remembered that one team mate said that one topic that wouldn't have an end during debates will be religion and so he said that we should start.

It's funny because everytime a topic is opened. There are times that everyone would talk at the same time trying to point something out. Then they will team up and split again and team up with a diffrent person. I remembered during that time that they were talking bout how intelligent God is because even if they were doing something not right like their vices. They manage to remember and talk and appreciate God.

-----------------
God is good....

Just a Phase

I went on endshift again. Of course, I was able to get one since I have the highest cpt. I can admit that I am disappointed with my performance. After my day off, I am planning to try to lower it down without sacrificing my QA. I don't really know what's wrong with me. Ever since I started concentrating on my QA I've been slower than before. I feel bad because I know that my mentor expects a lot from me just because he knows that I can. I know I can. I have to do something about it and I know I can do something about it. Aja!!

-----------

Past events..

Saturday//We went on endshift because we (actually they) were supposed to go to Jayga's place to drink Tequilla which Chin brought but Jayga said that we can crash her place. Since we didn't know where to crash we were planning to stay until we were able to go home.Richmond was planning to go to DG but Jello said it's better to go to Watering Hole. So we went there instead. We saw Jed and decided to take him along. They made my drink one bottle but I wasn't feeling it so I gave the rest of the drink to Marbin.

It was very amusing to see those boys debate about how they are "sex experts". They talk as if they really know how to please a woman which according to Chin, They didn't. I agree. But I won't discuss the details here.

We did had a good time because it's gonna be team shift bid. Second, Marbin was adding more words to his Marbsters Dictionary which Jello constantly reminds us. After the laughs and the drinks we decided to eat breakfast but I didn't since I really wanted to go home and I didn't like the menu. I arrived at home at arounf 10am and slept at 12.

Friday//We found out that it's gonna be team shift bid so everyone was happy about it. IT was the day when the VTO list was full. Everyone wants to go endshift but we were given the most waited endshift 15 mins before the time. Hehe.. It was almost nosebleed for us. haha.. OVertime.. btw, we had pizza from the company since we were celebrating the Customer Service week but everyone didn't get a chance to eat pizza because of some other inconsiderated people...

long time....

I'm at Figaro in ATC Alabang right now...

It's been a long time since I was able to use the internet for longer than 10 minutes. I haven't had the time to access the computer at home since my brother is doing his thesis and my Dad is also doing his research paper.

A lot has happened since my last blog... Updates about it will be following when I get to remember the details... again. Right now, I'm in relax mode, just chillin and my thoughts are scattered right now.

Happy VL to me!!

I went to Ken's place and helped him with his work today. Of course, he has his lights again so we have to try it out and here's one of the shots that I already composited using Photoshop. What you think? I'll post more later....

Of heartaches, mistakes and happiness...

I wasn't planning to accept VTO offer today but we put our names on the list. Around 10:38 pdt Keith and Jon offered endshift. I wasn't supposed to accept it but Marbin accepted so we went on endshift! Goodluck salary!

We borrowed the Y-cord and we were planning to help jello with calls. Then marbin said he's gonna take calls for Jello which is so not allowed. Marbin said he's gonna pull the Jello's cpt to 31 but he stayed at 37 for quite sometime. Jello and I were chatting and laughing at Marbin coz he was starting to be irate. hehe.. Then Keith went and talked to us and caught them in the act thus confiscating the y-cords.

On the way to the locker, we saw Nicole with some of her team mates and she said that they'll be going to digicafe, so after Jello's lunch we decided to go there....

When we arrived, Nicole wasn't there yet. Good thing Julia my good friend was there and he's was singing. (Damn! He can sing and do impressions!) So we sat with them and Marbin ordered 1 bucket! He gave me 1 bottle. Hehe...

So Marbin and I started to chat... about life, love, work and friends. Then Nicole came and we started to have this heart to heart conversation which was good...

Then Kitoy was there to being steady and all, when julian and his teammates left . We transferred to their table and continued talking and talking. Marbin and I even danced. Cool!

They were giving me another bottle but I told them that it would take 3 hours to finish one bottle. hehe.. I know it funny but it's true.

Marbin and I went home closer than before and we understand each other better. Cool. He's really one cool friend. I hope I'd get to know the other that well too..

-----------------
I went home, lost my voice but it's all good!

Rainy Day...

I thought it would be easier to go to work coz the typhoon went away already but another one is coming. It has been raining again and I'm having a hard time going to work.

About work...

It was a pretty good week.. The team got a 97 QA! Yay! That means that our bosses will be dressed up for a whole week! Actually, the agreement was..

• 97 - long sleeves with neck tie
• 98 - barong (hehe)
• 100 - body paint! Whooo!!

I also got a 100 QA again! I think this coming week I'll be failing some of the calls... Saturday was the stupid calls day. Everyone was getting pissed off and irate. We were all waiting for an endshift offer but oour lead for that day wasn't there... so we had to wait for the 2 hour endshift.

----------------

It was a good thing that everyone decided to go home early and everyone was able to get good rest! Before we went home we went to the lung center and talked about having a counter-strike day and paintball challenge next pay day! yay! I'm excited! Whooo!

Friday!

For past two days I haven't been offered mid-shift vto which I think is good coz I wanna earn some money...

We went to eat breakfast at the 3 floor and we were planning what to wear during halloween and here are some of our ideas....

• gregorian
• rastaman
• bioman
• counter strike
• gothic (for chin and me!)
• pinoy super heroes
• 13 ghosts
• x-men
• medical people splattered with blood.
• camouflage
• famous villains
• list go on....

It was funny coz we were planning everything but we haven't finalized what to wear yet..

Endshift?!?!

I can't say if I'm having a good day today. My day started pretty well. I have a low cpt then it slowly went up. 36...37.. next thing I know I'm doing 40 and my lead is forcing me to go endshift. I did.

I can't remember any stupid of funny calls today.

right now, I am currently waiting for Ken who's gonna drop off his Mom at the Phil Columbian for a breakfast meeting then he's swinging by to pick me up from work.I've been doing nothing since 540am. Yes. I've seen the cruel intentions 3 and I chatted with a lot from different teams. I also ate breakfast and now I am here waiting and blogging.

To make matters worse... My phone ran out of juice and mp3 is dead. I don't even know if Ken's here already. It's also raining...

---------------
What a weird day....
I hope tomorrow's gonna be better.

Wishlist

Right now there are 2 things that I would wanna get...

1. Ericsson K750
Why? Aside from my d500 being stolen... It has a 2.0 megapixel cam. So therefore I wouldn't need to get a digicam, right now.

2. Mp3 Player.
I still can't decide whether I should get an Ipod Mini, Creative zen mirco or zen neeon.

3. Red boots.
Simply because these boots are made for walking... hahaha!!

Twin? Whaddya think? Do we look alike? 

Blog..blog..blog..

I feel that I have never blogged the way that I should be blogging. I've tried coming up with a decent blog several times befor but I feel that I fail. Truth of the matter, this is the longest blog that I ever kept. It's kinda surprising that I can update this considering the work that I am in right now.

Before, I have all the time in the world to make blog even every 2 hours. AHH! The life of a professional bum. I do miss those days. What is my problem when it comes to blogging. I have the imagination, the stories to type but I can't seem to make myself write. Is it because I do know that other people might read it? Probably. I'm trying hard to be able to write a decent blog everytime I log it.

Well, this has to stop! This is my blog and I do have the right to post everything that I like right? hehehe...

-----------------------
I'm gonna make a template. anytime soon.. Yay!

Waterfalls

It been a good week for me at work. i got a 100 QA again! Yay! I've been relaxed and nice to my callers for some unknown reason. HEhe.. I'm not sure this coming saturday though coz I'm getting my groove backin terms of the CPT.

I've never been happier.

Maybe because.. it's finally over...

------------------------

I've been wanting to start to make my overdued webpage but I haven't come up with the design that i've been wanting to do. I do have the time to do it but I need inspiration. What will the design be?

-------------------

I'm looking forward to a better week.

Aftermath

Well, it's a week after Joie got sacked by Wilman. I've been hanging out with the guys ever since and I'm glad that they've been treating me well. I'm still a bit lonely coz I feel like I'm a floating entity, free agent or whatever you wanna call it.

Anyway, I got 100 with my QA and I'm happy about that. I'm planning to refuse vtos this next cutoff. See how much I can earn and shop til I drop. haha.. I just hope I have enough patience and sleep so I can refuse the vto.

The guys are planning to watch eat bulaga. This week I guess, But I don't think they still have money left. I don't money anymore too. Hehe..

---------------

I was looking at cellphones and I found the perfect replacement for my d500 which was stolen. The K750i! Yay! Just gimme some extra memory and I'm good to go!! I just hope that ken gets to start the yearbook pictures asap! Yay!!

----------------

I wanna go to Disneyland HK this September...

Roller Coaster

Everything will fall into place..

Do I really believe that? Partly I do. Anyway, my good friend Joie got terminated already. Everyone from the team felt sad for her. Especially me, I got loves for her. She's my buddy and my confidant. We can relate with each other and she's not a part of the corny world.

I so appreciate that the guys are taking care of me, now that joie is gone. I really miss her bad. It's not the same anymore.

-----------------

Anyway, been crazy at work. Everyone seems to assume that just because we look alike we have something going on. Too bad for them I dunno what they're talking about. Sometimes I feel he wants distance but there's really no reason unless... Well, I just hope that our being close won't be affected coz I like the way we are. If there's gonna be change, it should be positive. I just hope that certain person realizes that.

-----------------

I've been wanting to get away, relax. Yeah! Chiiiiiiiiiillllllllll!!
I got 91 for QA! GOod!

75 QA! Whappak!

Well, it was a great week at work though I found out that I got 75 on my QA. I have to make a better performance with regards to cpt and QA this week coz I feel bad for team kitoy!

Let me review the week.

Last Saturday (AM), We (Richmond, Dino, Marbin, Jello, Joie, Kicks, Chin and Me) Went to E.A.T. to have breakfast. We decided to ask JayO to come so that we could fish out 2 buckets of beer. We also asked Yumi and Keith to come with us. Joie went ahead early. Some other people from different teams came to hang out and it was funny! After all the laugh, SOme people cried but it's all good. We went home at around 3.

I hope I can post some of the pictures when Jello has enough load to send it to me.

---------

Anyway, this week has been different We were more close after the cavite thing. I dunno why but I knew it was temporary. Hehe.. We always send this mixed signals to each other that other people think we have something going on. I know that we don't but if you ask me about him. I wouldn't know what he thinks.

It's surprising that he could act sweet infront of everyone else. They might believe our act. Hehe.. Well, He told something that made me believe him but he doesn't have the consistency which makes me think twice. Well.. I didn't say I'm transparent right?

---------

My two closest friends from the batch have this gap right now. One chose to just say nothing at all but the other one took it negatively. I just realized that some people are bitchy and shallow...


Anyways, my thoughts are scattered coz it's my dayoff...

5 am drama?

I decided to get up so I can sleep later. I already have work later. I enjoyed my long Day off. hehe

Yesterday, it's our 2 year anniversary. We didn't do anything special. We just spent time together. We just went to atc browse, shop and eat. I did get a much needed facial. It was relaxing...

I just realized that we really have a good thing going on. I've never met any guy who would give me the freedom that I have right now. I never knew he would be this understanding thus making me appreciate him more than before. We really have an open communication where we can talk about anything. He might not be the most romantic person on the earth or he may not be the guy I really dreamed of but you know he makes me feel like I'm the prettiest and luckiest girl in the world. Top that!

Hmm...

"Stop trying to explain the inexplicable. Sometimes the best thing you can do is sit back and enjoy the mysterious workings of the universe -- especially when they're working in your favor, like they are right now."

I checked my friendster and that's my fortune for today. Actually, it's kinda weird coz it kinda right. Freaky? I dunno. It's funny I guess.

Been hanging out with the crazy guys of my team. It's fun and relazing at the same time. My jaw hurts because of laughing. It was one of the guys' birthday last sunday. We went to cavite to celebrate and it was fun. THough I didn't get to sleep a bit. I had a good time. They didn't have a chance to throw me in the pool. hehe..

Next saturday, it's kicks birthday! I need to find a swap for sat. Good luck to me!

Untitled

And now I concede on the night
of this fifteenth song
Of melancholy, of melancholy ..

Listening to Broken Sonnet of Hale right now. A lot of things has happened this week. I'm both happy and sad at the same. Again another dear friend ,left last Aug 6 to UK. I didin't have enough time to say what should have been said. She'll be staying in Uk for 6 months. We'll be having the time to catch up with each other when she comes back. Chillax in the beach! Drinking and chatting anything and everything under the sun.

The movie day that Revy and I planned was postponed because I went on endshift. I went out with my teammates. We went to Music21 and then moved on to Heckle and Jeckle. Basically, it drinking and singing sessions.

I can't wait to go to redbox with Rev. Probably on my next paycheck. Hehe..

-------

Anyways, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and there are somethings i still can't understand. I guess i kinda refuse to analyze. I'm turning off my emotions at this time coz it's gonna be complicated involve feelings.

Sometimes, I wanna believe the guys who tell me. but I do know him and how he is so I can honestly say I don't feel anything for him right now. Purely platonic.

But if he wanna play a game. Okay..
Let the games begin..
I haven't even started..

------
Work related. I failed the QA this time for being Irate! I don't wanna be irate anymore.

Me? American?

"Face it honey. You're an American"

Ken and I were eating at Brother's Burger in Alabang Last Monday. We're supposed to buy stuff but the shops were already closed. So went to eat dinner. I told him that unlike the typical Filipina girl, I don't easily fall for a guy who becomes sweet to me. Though there are few guys who can actually hold hands and hug me. Well, yeah, it feels good when some one is sweet with you. I appreciate the action and all but I don't wanna conclude that this guy likes me just because he sweet and all. Never assume I say!

There's gonna be a lot of emotional baggage and you're gonna be vunerable everytime that you fall for a guy who's gonna be sweet to you. Guys can be insensitive sometimes. They do like being sweet with someone eventhough they don't have the intention of courting her. So why can't I be that way? Right?

After explaining the stuff above. Ken just blurted out Face it honey, You're an American. He said that I'm one of the few Filipina girls that he knows think that way. We'll I guess I am if that's the case. But ever since before I've been close to guy friends and I do have a brother. I'm judt comfortable around guys I guess. Ken also pointed out that I'm like a perfect girl friend for a guy (take note of the space.) He says that I can be treated as one of the boys but has the body and charm of a girl. He believes that guys usually think that I'm better of as a friend than their girlfriend because I'm fun to be with. I dunno if that's true maybe there's half truth. We'll never knoow till I hear it from one of my guy friends.

Society sometimes sucks they have this norms that I don't think works for me.

Revelations

This was a weird week for me. I have a hard time sleeping. I've been waking up at exactly 3pm last 2 or 3 days. I been doing a lot of thinking, contemplating and planning.

Why?

There is a game that might begin. Mix and match signals are coming from everyone I know. It very confusing though I got a piece of a puzzle just now and so far what I predicted was true but there is still something puzzling. I'll find out sooner if not later. I do believe that I'm a step ahead of them.

------

Been hanging out with the wacky "pasaway" guys from my team Richmond, Marbin, Jello and Dino. They're funny and cool to go out with. Not to mention they kinda talented. I enjoy their company though they like to tease me.

Ang sarap matulog

Haay, ang sarap matulog.

Kapag tulog ka wala kang inaalala.

tahimik,
payapa,
masaya.

Kapag tulog ka

pwede kang managinip ng kahit ano,
pumunta kahit saan.

haay, tulog na nga lang ako ulit.

Your Kissing Purity Score: 77% Pure

You've hardly ever been kissed But the kisses you've given are very missed

Kissing Purity Test

Uninvited

I never thought I hear that phrase again.

"Uy! Magkamukha kayo!"

A lot of things had happened lately, I discovered a lot of things with my team mates and friends.

I got my pay slip last thursday and thank GOD that it wasn't that bad at all. This week has been a roller coaster, I got a lot of vtos again and I don't think that's nice. I might get a lower salary that before. The 2nd anniversary is coming up and I'm kinda broke right now.

Most of the times that my team mates asks us to go with them to their gimiks, we decline. But last Saturday morning. Joie went home early coz she wasn't feeling well and I was the last one to be given the vto. I tried to look for her and I found out that she already went home. I looked for my other batchmate. I thought she also went on vto and went home early so I went to my team mates at the lung center to ask. They were planning to go to digicafe and asked if I could come. Well, I was having second thoughts and then I realized that I was there with them already. I found out that they can sing and they're fun to hang out with.

Well, of course there's always the chizums and they're teasing me with one of my team mates. Well, I just go with the flow. How would you believe the people who are drinking right?

-------

Last Sunday, I was having a hard time with the calls because I have colds. I was waiting fior a two hour end shift vto. But it turns out its a early lunch end shift. I went out my team mate, We went to ouRs. In malate but well what do you expect it monday morning and it around 4.

I had a great time but my salary will suffer big time.

-----
I discovered a lot of things that makes me think. I can't post it yet.

half blood prince and other stories

Harry Potter is now available!

Yay!

Too bad. I broke right now and this coming pay day I won't getting much coz I have one absent and most of the week I'm on vto. Last night, my throat really hurts bad that my TL put me on end shift Vto. I told him I don't want to go coz i won't be doing anything and I can't go home yet. So I was Y-corded with one of the Tenures in our Team then I y-corded with my TL when he took calls. He was beginning to become irate. Hehe.

After that I was just loitering around anywhere. Pantry, Floor. Then I went home. It's like I was absent and I can't go on vto for a long time again. Too bad.

Anyways, It was nice and sweet that he forced me to vto because he said he's taking care of me. hehe.. I'm in his group. The team was divided under 2 teams. Joie's not in my team. Well duh! she's the favorite of the other one. hehehe..

------

I just got off the phone with my college buddy, Rev, felt good talking to her. It feels like ages since we talked like that. It was good thing that even though we don't get to see or talk to each other that much the bond is still there. It feels like eventhough years may pass. We'll still be buddies. That is what you call a real friend. I really miss hanging out with her.

Life is good and I thank GOD for that!

VTO week

Last week was the easiest week at work.

VTO all the time and Q calls are usually 0. I've asked them to y-cord me coz my throat kinda hurts and I wanna learn how they talk to the caller.

I think I accumulates around 7 hours or more VTO plus the fact that I was absent last, last saturday. I dunno how much will I'll get this coming payday. Joie and I agreed that there would be no VTO for us this week except for end shift during sat and fri.

Well, last Sunday, We got very hard calls. Stupid caller. I wasn't able to pull my cpt down. Haven't met my goal too. Damn! After shift, I was gonna wait for ken. Then my TL asked me to go with them and wait at greenbelt coz he knew I was alone. So I went with them. Unfortunately, I have to deal with the annoying person too! I can say that he's really full of himself. I did have fun with them though.

I'll be downloading song in seattle later. Gotta go and work out the body..

Unfinished story part 2

Something is familiar with the way he stares..

thinking...think.. think...

I've seen that look before if I recall it was way back in college. It the same way that other person stares. The look that tell you that sure I guess I'm telling the truth huh?

So what does this tell me?

i should be careful with this guy. Probably, a good liar.

Too bad. He's nice.

Tired and sweating

I'm plan to get fit this year. Last night, I bought this exercise cd which I tried earlier and I feel good after the work out. So does that mean it works?

Hopefully...

We'll see the results after a month or two, i guess..

Anyways, I back to work again. I hope it won't rain coz it's very hard to commute especially when I'm in smart casual mode. hehe

I'm also very excited coz this coming august, not only me and my squeeze is celebrating out 2nd year together but I'll be getting my zen micro that I have been waiting. Yay!! I would be getting an ipod mini but it doesn't have any fm radio with it.

I hope there are no calls today. So there would end shift. I don't have any money anymore. Can't wait till friday.

Gonna get some zzzz now..

Pieces of an unfinished story

I find myself strangely attracted to him...

Attracted. Yes, that is the term. I feel myself drawn to him not in the sense that I am falling for him. Not that I like him like a girl has a crush on her professor. I am not attracted sexually or physically. I'm just drawn to him.

Why?

I barely know the person. The first time I met him I was all guarded up. He gave this vibe that I dunno if its good or bad. Days and weeks pass I start to find him amusing. Amusing in the sense that in the times I am bored I find a reason to smile because of how he acts around me and other people. Don't get me wrong. I don't get special treatment from him. Maybe its his personality, the aura and how he carries himself.

Am I starting to like him?

Yes, but not in the way that eventually I'll fall in love. He's already taken. I like him the way I wish I had a best bud like him moreover like a big brother that I never had.


other than that.. I don't have any other interest in him.


He's no more than a friend.

Updates

Well, I haven't had the time to write a decent blog...

I've been sick last saturday and was forced by the Parental units to call in sick. I feel sad because I didn't want to be absent. Anyway, I did get some good rest which is good. Today is my day off until tuesday so I'm gonna relax and chill.

-----

I'm starting to warm up with my team mates. Too bad everytime they wanna eat out or do something, I can't coz I live down south and I need rest. Well, eventually I'll eat with them..

But now I'll just spend time with batchmates til everyone is comfy with their team.

-----

I'm planning to start playing gt4 haha.. When I get my own mem card. Maybe practice tekken for awhile haha.. Exercise to be able to fit in the bikini. hahaha..


I feel there are a lot of good thing that comin.. and I can't help but be happy....

More teammates

Joie and I , Sleepless in Tagaytay

Team 1 in Tagaytay

Xtra Challenge in Tagaytay (Kallmasters style)

Kallmasters is the name of Team 1, my team...

June 26,2005 was the date of our supposedly first ever team-building with the newbies.

At around 230 pdt, we were given end-shift VTO, Some of the team mates went to the 12 flr to get some sleep and the others went to the lung center to smoke. Joie and I also went downstairs just to kill time because we were waiting for "the boss" so we can eat at McDonalds then we gonna be heading to the Richmond's place in Tagaytay.

At around 830, we learned that half of the team cancelled and won't be going anymore. So there? Is there an issue? I don't really know for sure. I'm just new with the team so I don't really know. Anyway, I was just chilling out with some of my batchmates and his team mates. Talking bout watsoever stuff. Joie and I finally decided to get some grubs at 711 and get our bags.

Then we went to Mcdonalds. Hehe. We ate and talked with teammates. Of course, we kinda uneasy at first. Till we arrived in the place. After brunch we slept then everyone was swimming already. And the game was about to begin.

We were divided into two groups and we were to find clues and it felt like xtrachallenge. We went outside the village to eat a bunch of bananas and drink 1.5 liter of coke. Then go back to the place to dive in the pool. It was hell funny. Sure, took out the uneasiness.

The boss was good, he made everyone swim. hehe..

Afterwards, We learned a lot of stuff about our teammates. That everyone was hell pissed at one teammate. I also learned that everyone is musically inclined. Astig.

----------------

To sum it up, it was fun. Next time galera na!

broken modem and other stuff

It's been almost a month since I used the internet. My modem was broken and it took awhile for the replacement. A lot has happened with this past weeks...


My team will be having our team building this coming sunday in tagaytay, I hope the boss gets me a swap for tuesday coz I wanna sleep all day.. hehe.

Performance and QA wise I'm doing good and I already earned a smiley this week. Yay!!

I also been meeting a lot of friends in the work so which makes it fun.

------------------

Anyways, I just woke up and I'm still feeling sleepy.

Events

Yestereday, I went out with Ken and his Mom. We went to the RC HIyas ng Maynila Club Awarding. I was invited by Lilian the Club President. It was fun though I really felt sleepy. Lilian was really funny. The food was good too.

------------------

Earlier, We went to Alabang. I got my hair done. I was supposed to have go for a facial but Ken said that He bring me to a spa for a whole treatment. Wow! I can wait.

Later, I have to go to work again. I gonna get all the sleep I can today.

Soulmate

I read in a magazine that a soulmate is someone who will make a change in your life whnether that person stays or not. If that's the case could I have met mine?

I met this person in the most unexpected place, in a chatroom. Like some people, I am a skeptic when it comes to people I get to chat with. Most of the time I don't give out my number to person. This person whom I met was interresting than the other. I can't recall what we really talked about but I gave my number and the person sent me a message. At first, I was replying out of courtersy buecause the person was nice. After a few days the was the exchange of daily messages form morning to night. Usually the messages those messages give me smiles. Then finally, we talked on the phone. Usually, It would take us hours to talk with anything and everything under the sun, moon and even the stars.

We found out that we do like the same things. He even like the ideal guy that I have in my mind. Of course, like the word "ideal " conveys. It will never be perfect.

That person came in the time when things was low in my life. I was trying to figure out a lot of things about myself and with the people around me. It was really surprising that I just known the person for almost month and yet this person was able to appreciate the beauty and the good inside of me. He showed a genuine appreciation though we have never set eyes on each other.
I never noticed with that appreciation I learned a lot. I manage to get up on my feet and learned to love myself again.

It came to a point where we would have to come face to face. We also both knew that after that things might never be the same again.

We took the risk and of course we were both right. We met once and things were never the same. Time and our other things kept us busy. Text messages and phone calls were unheard of. But it's still good.

For some odd reason, I didn't have regrets with what happened. Maybe because I knew from the start that this was bound to happen...

I never had feelings for him. Why? Maybe because he was close to what my ideal guy is in my mind. Thus I felt that it would never work out. My friends say that theylike him for me. I just smile and say. "Di kami pwede. Friend lang talaga."

Truth is, I'll never know if I left a mark in his life like he did in mine. He may or may not be my soulmate. I'm just glad and thankful that he passed by.

Revelation

This week I have learned a lot of things..

First, I learned that I can pull down my cpt to 40. I sitll have to improve my QA to a 100. I also learned that I beginning to become more familiar with the common cities in MI, WI, RI, TX, CA, VA and FL. I and still having a hard time with MD, NJ , IL and some states in NY. I guess it's because most of the time the caller that I get from those states speak to fast or they expect that the operator knows everything.

Second, I found out that a certain person in the work is pissing everybody off. Now, I feel pity for her.

Third, I am in need to pamper myself because I need to relax.

Lastly, I'm really happy with what is going on with my life. Thank you God!

Backtrack.. Splash Mountain Trip 

Yesterday....

Ken and I went out. We went to Alabang to relax. He recently found out that nokia has a new software for s60 phones. It's like friendster for nokia and you'll be using the bluetooth capabilities of the phone to search for a friend. It's kinda cool but the thing is I don't have a s60 phone now.

I'm so loving my D500 right now. It's my baby. Hehehe.

---------

Anyway, we went to atc. It was so hot. I gave Ken a Dog. He was so happy. We went to the arcade then we went to Festival. I bought footsal shoes. We gonna play soccer. Hehehe.

First Two Weeks

Welcome to my life as a Probi...

I haven't had the chance to update my blog coz I have been sleeping the whole time. Yesterday, I slept at around 11 then I woke up at 2pm. I slept at around 5 and woke up at 11pm. Hehe then after I ate I fell asleep again. hehe.

-------

Having a cpt of a disappointing 60 then slowly I was able to bring it down to 47. I realized that most of my callers don't know how to spell the city and what the real name of the listing. They are discriminating haters. Of course there are nice, polite and appreciative callers to. There are funny ones to who forget the name of the listing tey're looking for.

I already met my TM and leads, of course the team. They all seem nice. They even had the so-called Team building but I didn't go because I wanted to get sleep which I am happy that I did it.

I am able to bring down my cpt to 43.68 hehe. Bobby's trying to catch up. hehehe.

Batch 213

March 28 2005.

It's the orientation day. I arrived at work earlier as usual. This is my first job and i don't know anyone. I went in the lobby and sat. I saw a girl who's already there. I was hoping that she would be nice to talk to me but she looks a bit snobbish. Not judging her in anyway. It was because she wasn't smiling. Then a guy arrived with stuff, paper. Actually it was the requirements. I don't have the paper yet because the company just called me that I was accepted for training. The guy talked to me. Of course I talked to him to. I was glad because finally there's someone to talk to.

8:00

We went inside the room to sign the contract and have a tour of the floors. Then we went into the training room for the rest of the orientation. The guy that I met is Sirhan. Then the snobbish girl that I saw earlier was seated beside Sirhan and we talked. She isn't snobbish at all she has a sweet voice. Her name is Laurene (Yes, Ralph Lauren that's how you read the name). Afterwards I met Haidee. She's the late person and the unsure one but she signed the contract too.

March 29, 2005

7am. I arrived early again. There's a girl I sat beside but I wasn't sure if she's one of my batchmates. There's another guy from the batch who was there already but I wasn't sure that he's with the batch to. I was quiet until one by one everyone was there and we went in the room. We sat in the places that we like.

Then the trainors arrived.

Then the introductions are started.

Everyone was paired with a person seated beside him or her. It was funny because everyone was so quiet. If we talk we whisper. After a few days. The class started to become noisy.

The batchmates...

(I'll be doing it by groups.. so it won't be hard hehehe)

Buddies

Jun - Most of the time he's called "Papa Jun" Why? Well.. simply because he's a dad. I'm guessing he's the oldest in the batch. He's nice and sweet to the ladies of batch 213. He's talented. He can play a lot of instruments and can sing good.

Anton - I was the one who introduced Anton. He's a die-hard F1 ferrari fan. Rockstar. The charmer. Funny guy to. PS guy and he's an interior designer. He also restores beetles. He's the smoking buddy of Jun.

--------

Niko - He looks like a professor during the first week. But now we slowly discover that he's called porn king. He's nice and funny to. It seems that you can talk about anything with this guy.
Jay-O- Niko's smoking buddy. "He's the man!" according to Jun.


Threesomes

Fei - Half -brit, Half-Fil. She's nice and funny. She also has very nice voice. I don't see her much these days because of our schedules.

Jen - The teacher. This girl know how to hit. She's the first one who was able to take calls alone. Right now, she has her transfer boy. uyy..

Bob - Spongebob to most. He's nice and funny and a gentleman. We have a friendly competition about cpts.

---------

Marj and Karl - Quiet people. But if you talk to them they're nice and funny too,..

Cris - if you see her. You'll think she's quiet but she's funny too and she has stories to tell.


Foursomes?

Missy - a person whom you'd think is someone quiet and nice. She rOcks. She loves food and knows how to cook.

Haidee - Funny girl, lieks to eat and she's very slow when she walks. Forgetful.

Laurene - her name is read as Lauren. Like Ralpn Lauren. She has this sweet voice. She's nice and funny too.

And there's me... 'nuff said

Largest group..

Marie - Funny and pretty. She just returned her husband to his mom. Cool.

Benjo - who could forget the infamous his lucky rec n crispy thong? He's so funny.

Olive - she seems quiet but she's not a boring person

Rei - She's nice and funny. A person who I get to talk rarely because of out schedules.

J-ann - Pretty, tall lady, Funny to boot.

Basically, the people I described here are the people left in the company. All in all they're nice, funny and cool.

Week 5: OJT

Last week of the training...

OJT...

Monday

We had an hour of searching the listing before we went to the floor. I guess everyone was nervous. We have to hit a cpt of 50 secs after the shift. We were all given y-cords so that the trainor will be able to barge in our calls and assist us easily. At around 7:20 pdt we started taking calls. We had more than 5 transfers since we were really careful with our calls if we can't find our listing since we will be monitored by the QA. After the shift. I got 60 something.

-----------------------

Tuesday

I'm still nervous especially the first session of taking calls. Everyone was waiting for each other to log in. We all had our different delaying tactics which is funny. You'll hear our trainors saying "log in NO delaying tactics." Hehe. I was able to lower it down. I'm also happy because I was improving and the QA said I have a good tone. hehehe

----------------------

Wednesday

I'm starting to understand how they pronounce the cities. Plano, TX ispronouced as puhlano. hehe.. Still there's a lot of cities I haven't heard of yet. Like Truth or Consequences, NM. (Yes, that the name of the city.)

----------------------

Thursday

A disappointing day for me. I wasn't able to pull down my cpt. Even If I was y-corded by a trainor....

----------------------

Friday

The make or break day. It was surprising because yesterday a lot of people were able to hit below 50. Today, we had difficult callers especially the first session. I got 60 cpt. Afterwards I was able to pull it down to 50 then 40 something. I was helped by a csr that's why I was able to maintain it and then PJ helped me until the end our shift. (I'm so thankful to PJ!!)

After our shift we had pizza from our trainors. (Yeah! we were) Then It was graduation. It a happy and sad thing because we'll be going to different teams and I'll miss everyone.

I'm so thankful to our trainors since week one...
Vren, Mai, Leah, Lyra, Hilda, Chesca, Katie, Abby, Avon and PJ.

I learned a lot from them especially during the 4 week of edas in how to search faster.

Thank You! Thank You! (^-^)

Do you trip on love?

I just recently watched Cruel intentions on Star Movies. I saw this movie a lot of times that I can even say the lines even if I put the volume on mute....

Aside from the soundtrack which I sooooo love. I dunno what I like in this movie. Maybe because of the ironic turn out of events. Of course I love the 1956 Jag roadster and Ryan Philippe. Hehe. I Like the movie because how the plot thickens and in the end the one who planned it got what she deserves....

week 4: hot seats!

Week 3 has passed...

When week 4 started, our batch was divided into 2 groups and had their own trainors. We has hor seats all the time and we were taught ways that can help us search what we needed faster than we used to. Of course we had our certification for ojt. FOrtunately, I got a high grade. Then we had a chance to experience live calls. We were also paired with someone for the live calls to be able to elp each other in searching the listing. During the last day of week 4... we took the calls by ourselves.

Now ojt will start. We will be ont he floor.. Wish me luck.

Week 3:search..search..search

I haven't had the chance to use the computer this week till now. I've been sleeping a lot lately and been going to work earlier than usual. We've been doing hotseats and reviewing protocols and of course trying to learn how to search in the system.

Of course we had new trainors who taught us how to search. We had less quizzes and we were given a seating arrangement for a week. There's no exemption anymore but I did well....

week3...type type type

Start of week 3..

Keyboard.. Searching...Night Shift...

The day one of my night shift marks the start of week 3. The day went well and surprisingly the time flew fast. It was kinda boring coz we didn't have any games but it was all good. We were taught the hot keys to be able to search a listings. Hehe..

I found Donald Trump's address but I can post it.. hehehe

I need sleep..

A tribute to an independent citizen

I can still remember....

ring...

Everyone entered the classroom and sat whereever they pleased as they waited for the teacher. When the teacher came in. We were arranged in alphabetical order. I was quiet back then. I knew no one. Then I met Revelyn Garcia. We were seatmates back then.

It all started with the question..

"Nanonood ka ng wrestling?"

BadabingBadabamBadaBoom!!!!

If you see Revy. One would think this person is serious. especially when you talk to her about the lesson or topic that she studied. But spend a few minutes with her you'll find out that she's a person who escaped the asylum. Back then we started talking about wrestling. It was the time when Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock were rivals. Then it shifted to music... At that time we were talking about Korn, Limp Bizkit. Oasis. 90s alternative music. Then when it comes to TV shows and movies. A day would not be enough to talk about it.

I remember while we were waiting for the professor we were singing the songs that we'll put on our album. Even if we were singing it out of tune. We were singing the songs outloud.

One of the most interesting and things that I admire with Revy is her determination and will power. Not to mention her very vivid imagination!

"Kapag nabayaran ko na ang utang ng Pilipinas. Pwede na ba ako maging independent citizen?"

Another thing that's very interesting is that she is keep her feet on the ground. Sometimes even her knees. Haha.. She has the uncanny ability to fall down or trip even she's walking on a smooth road.

She also has a good rapor with everyone. She's very sweet too..

"Uyy! Si Tin ang ganda ganda... save mo ko seat mamaya ha."
"Sapakin kita kapag di mo ko pinahiram ng ballpen."

Things that I love about revy..

1. Her imagination
2. Her uncanny ability to fall down by herself
3. Her addiction to harry potter
4. Her love for the 90's alternative
5. Food tripper
6. Her jokes
7. Her laugh
8. Her uncanny ability to agree that she's a loser when she's watching tv.
9. Her title as the walk out queen
10. Her position as a bunso even though she's the eldest in her family

To sum it up. Revy is one of my favorite person in the whole wide wolrd. Even the Universe! She's funny, sweet, brutal, smart and unique. She's a sour sister, partner in crime, movie guru, website guru, game guru and of course my friend. I guess it's safe to say that we got along coz we're both insanely normal. (whatever that means) Truth is I miss hanging out with her. The good thing is that we both know that even though we don't see or talk as much as before we're still there for each other.

***Note to revy...
Malaki utang mo sa pagsulat ko nito! hehehehe...

Week 2:Information Overload

Yey!! I passed week two with flying colors!! Celebrate!!

The week two of our training is what they call Information Overload part because we have to learn about us101 and the spelling of the common cities. Not to mention the call flow and protocols. I was happy because I got exempted from the us101 and spelling finals. Unfortunately I did a retake for the call sim. It's ok because I passed the retake! Yey!

After the call sims we watched a movie. The Terminal starring Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones. I know what's it like to be stranded or delayed in an airport but not the way that Viktor Navorski was stranded there. It was a nice movie. After the movie it's time to go home. Yey!

Our schedule was changed from 7am-3pm to 10pm-6am. Yes, I know belong to the night shift. Yey! Good luck to me! Missy, Heidi and I walked from RCBC to Glorietta just for fun. It was a holiday so the streets were quiet. Then Jun was behind us and walked with us upto Glorietta.

I also watched Vin Diesel's The Pacifier. It was funny. Now I know that Vin Diesel can act. Haha. (No Pun intended to those Vin Diesel fans)

What city and state please?

I am undergoing the second week of the training. So far everything is going well. I got exempted for out US101 finals. I'm kinda scared about the call sim though...

Anyways, the people in my batch are really nice. There are serious people and there are funny ones. There are also talented ones. The nice thing about our batch is that we all get along with one another.

We do have quizzes everyday eversince day two of week one. Hehe. I need to study so that I would be exempted and my efforts were not wasted. I am! I am! I'm usually sleepy and tired when I get home so I don't have the time to post in my blog.

Maybe on weekends I'll be able to post something. Hopefully with pictures. hehe

busy busy busy

What's the city and state please?

Ohh... I have been tired this week, Last tuesday was the start of my training. It was supposedly 11-7 but they changed it to 7am to 3pm. I haven't had the time to log-on to the pc coz there are a lot of things to study and the fact that I am always tired and sleepy.

Anyway, I'm having a great time in the training. I'm starting to get used to speaking in english more often than before. I'll just post the whole blog about my training and maybe some pictures on sunday. Have to study then sleep.

bla bla... nothings

I have at least a week of rest before my 11-7 schedule starts. I happy that everyone in my family is concerned about my health and my travel when I work. It's so heartwarming. I'm trying to adjust my sleep pattern but unfortunately I'm having a hard time. Doing nothing while everyone is asleep is hard. I dunno what will happen on my first day....

i don't drink coffee.
how will i stay awake?

*sigh.. I have a one year contract. I need all the anti-stress stuff and stuff that will wake me up. haha.

I need to go to the beach... I hear the waves calling me.

eleven to seven

It's official. I am a bum no more...

Yesterday, I signed the contract for training which will start on Monday, the 28th of March. My schedule will start at 11pm to 7am.

Well, as for the rest of the orientation. It went well. Good. We were done earlier than expected and it was a paid orientation. The facilities were good and the environment. I think it's okay.

I met new people and everyone in my batch are okay ands friendly. I guess it'll be a good start. Btw, I only have 5 work days and 2 days of rest. Just like going to school. Yay!

Every end there is a new beginning

Well, for every end there is a new beginning. This year is full of endings and new beginnings...

Come May my cousins and their families will migrate to US. Who knows when they'll come back. Their 30 year wait for the approval of the petition has finally come true. For them, new life, new culture, new setting. I'm sure gonna miss them. Christmas won't be the same and so the other occassions. I'm also happy for them bnecause they have been waiting for this for a long time..

On Monday, I will have an orientation before I start my training. Yes, that will mark an end to my life as a professional bum. I will sure miss that..

Birthday Profile

15 March (Pisces)

Your personal ruling planets are Neptune and Venus.

All forms of travel and places of beauty will attract your attention as Venus, the aesthetic planet, has rulership over you. You may even eventually live away from your place of birth.

Loving and receptive by nature, it is important to note that the sexual aspects of Venus will be very pronounced as well and may even lead to some fascinating intrigues on your path. You idealise love, sometimes without scrutinising your partners. It is as if you are searching for love, and even when you find it can't quite believe that you have it. Such is the power of your idealism.

Don't allow your charisma to blind you to the realities of human nature.


Your lucky colours are white and cream.

Your lucky gems are diamond, white sapphire or quartz crystal.

Your lucky days of the week are Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Your lucky numbers and years of important change are 6, 15, 24, 33, 42, 51, 60, 69, 78.

Famous people born on your birthday include Andrew Jackson.

**I don't even know if this is true. I just posted it for fun. haha.

Water Goddess

Symbol: The Fish	Ruling Planet: Neptune/ Jupiter
Element: Water	Cross/Quality: Mutable
Group: Theoretical	House Ruled: Twelfth
Polarity: Negative	Opposite Sign: Virgo
Favorable Colors: Sea Green & Lavender	Lucky Gem: Aquamarine
Key Body Part: Feet & Immune System	Period: Feb.19 - March 20

With the Sun in Pisces you are sensitive, impressionable, warm and loving. Possessing a powerful imagination you see the poetry of life, and no matter where located you infuse a sense of the beautiful into your surroundings. An optimist and dreamer, you strive all the while for Utopia, seeking a quiet life with as little trouble as possible. One great gift is your ability for interpreting ideas. You have the capability of taking an idea and transforming it into something everyone can appreciate and understand. A strong sense of service and compassion is also part of your nature. On occasion you find yourself put on by others, and torn by emotions and desperate to do the right thing, you become easily confused, giving way for the sake of peace and harmony. This may leave the impression of your being weak-willed. Very intuitive and sentimental, you have a tendency, at times, to live in a make-believe world, giving little attention to practical matters. Always acting from the highest ideals your kind nature endears you to others.

Career

Likely occupations are in entertainment and kindred arts, any of the medical professions, occupations to do with the sea, literary and public work, professions to do with philosophy or religion, or any work demanding imagination and creative ability.

Love

You are very attractive to others and have no problems finding partners, although these are more often than not the wrong ones. You are easily led astray by others and need someone who is strong, protective and who understands your easily hurt emotional character.

hehe...am i really like that? go figure! ;p

And she was gone

"And She Was Gone"
By Ginger Foutley
from the season 3 episode

She chose to walk alone
Though others wondered why
Refused to look before her,
Kept eyes cast upwards,
Towards the sky.

She didn't have companions
No need for earthly things.
Only wanted freedom,
From what she felt were
Puppet strings.

She longed to be a bird. That she might fly away.
She pitied every blade of grass
For planted they would stay.

She longed to be a flame,
That brightly danced alone.
Felt jealous of the steam
That made the air its only home.

Some say she wished too hard.
Some say she wished too long.
But we awoke one autumn day
To find that she was gone.

Some say she wished too hard.
Some say she wished too long.
But we awoke one autumn day
To find that she was gone.

The trees, they say stood witness.
The sky refused to tell.
But someone who had seen it said
The story played out well.

She spread her arms out wide.
Breathed in the break of dawn.
She just let go of all she held...

And then she was gone.


I really love As told by Ginger in Nickelodeon.

Melted Tv. Ken's Tv after the fire. 

hohum..

I am 33% Internet Addict.

I could go either way. Deep into the madness of nights filled with coding CGI-Scripts and online role playing games, or I could become a normal user. Good luck!

Take the
Internet Addict Test
@ FualiDotCom

Slight Interner addict? Who would have thought? Haha..

Anyway, I haven't been using the computer that much because I am playing tekken 5. Yay! I was always out the past few days. Supposedly, I would say it's hot but it's not. It's cold outside because of the cold front. I guess it kinda nice too..

Oooh.. Crepe! Yum Yum! 

laundry day

Today is laundry day (Yes, I do know how to wash clothes... hehe). Anyway. Mom is feeling better than yesterday but we didn't allow her to do any chores. So I am the one who'll be doing the laundry and cooking today. I just finished cooking tinola (my fave!) Hehe.. I think I did good. hehe.. Well, I'll find in a bit..

Anyway, I was browsing my friends list in friendster and I read a caption that got my attention. "Things may mean something now but.. after sometime they won't"

and it got me thinking...

...Revy reconciled with her friends.
...a friend gave me the nod when I saw her.
...Mitzi also reconciled with them.
...Audrey and Mae are civil again.

I guess everyone has moved on whether there's closure or not.

Well, things might never be the same again but it's all good...

15 Wishes...

15 days to go...

Lemme think of 15 wishes haha.. Start off with 3 since I haven't had the chance to blog yesterday.

1. Get Happy Feet.
2. Go to the beach
3. Get Pampered.

Anyway, My mom is sick right now and I am her nurse. I haven't had the chance to go out though Ken is inviting me to go for a swim.

Last tuesday, Ken and I went to ATC. We went to Timezone. I tried the percussion game and the dance dance revolution. Tiring yet fun. As usual I beat Ken at the shooting game. Haha..


@Alabang


Ahh..cool effect?

What was left...

warped picture in a burned frame

The picture frame and a pair of nike shoes. Ken's house was burned around 1pm yesterday. Fortunately, It didn't burn the whole house down but his sister and his room were totally destroyed. We went to his place and showed me what the damage was. Their room were really destroyed. Even the newly, setup home theater...tsk tsk tsk. I really feel sorry for Ken and his sister because everything in their rooms were destroyed. Even the shoes that I left there. The hand-made stuff toy that I made for him last last xmas. Our badminton rackets... The PS2. List goes on and on....

Earlier, the parental units were lecturing me about over using the fan and that I should always remember to unplug things because it may start a fire. I was kinda annoyed ofr a bit because I turn off the fan when I leave the room. It was kinda surprising to hear that his house was on fire since i just got off a conversation about fires. I really feel sad..

the good thing is...
no one got hurt..

From now on I'll make sure electrical appliances are turned off and off the hook...

oh well..

i'm sure at least everyone's knows that the hilton heiress' sidekick was hacked and the data was posted on the net. Yesterday, my friend revy and i was chatting online yesterday. We were talking about the hilton heiress' mishap with her sidekick. Apparently, everyone in hollwood is using tmobile. We checked out paris' address book and it includes christina a, lindsey lohan, frankie muniz, jay-z and ashley olsen to name a few. Though it's kinda weird that there are lot of mispelled words. The hacker didn't hack paris sidekick but the tmobile database where all the sidekick owners' information can be accessed. Maybe the hacker just choose to reveal paris' informaton for she's the controversial hilton heiress..

Makati Job Hunt

Well I went to Makati today. As usual my friend and I were looking for a job most of the places we went to are nothing of interesting that might be the reason why they don't place their names on the ad. Before 11am we went to Vito cruz to see our good friend tin. It was great seeing her again too bad we didn't have much time. I also saw my old prof. hehe. it was funny.

Too bad I forgot to take pictures coz we were busy updating each other.

lost in makati?

I have testing and interview on the 24th in makati. Thing is I dunno how to get to leviste st. I've been applyinyg in ayala so leviste st is something new to me. My interview is at 9am. How will i get there on time?

Anyways, i'll be posting photos soon haha

Makati... *sigh

blog.. blog.. blog..

I've been reading a lot of different blogs and it's amusing...

I think I recall that someone said that every person has a story to tell.(I just couldn't remember who or where i heard that) No matter how boring they say their life is. I guess it's just a matter of appreciating the little and big things that comes in our way. Realizing the good that life can offer inspite of the ugly situations that we face....

Summer.
Scorching heat.
I hear the waves calling me.
Getting a year older.
Right now, I am eating Halo-Halo. (Yum! Yum!)
Ah summer!
Can't wait!

of great food and ambiance

I went to Antonio's in Tagaytay. Wow! Good Food, Beautiful Place. Too bad the food servings are too big for me. hehehehe..


yum yum

of ups and downs

What a week!

I've been going to makati for days for job applications and interviews. Been riding on buses with crazy drivers a lot. I hate the pollution. But my efforts didn't go to wste coz i have pending final interviews. If I'm lucky I'll be able to snag a job. Well.. I've been discovering how to travel to makati by commute and I'm happy coz at least I know how to go there already. The only thing I didn't like is that I'm really tired and stressed out haha. Need to relax for a bit. Then I'll be back there again.

Makati...*sigh

waiting game

The waiting game just started...

My friend and I just finished lunch and went up to the office for our interview. It was supposed to be 1:30 but we were done eating by 1:00 so we went up. Mind you, we went to the office at 9:00am for testing. So there we were at the lobby till the guard let us in the testing room. There the waiting game began. My friend and I were just chatting and reminiscing about college as the time ticked then until we talked about having a billboard of socks and suka in edsa. Then we became quiet out eyes drooping, yawning from time to time.. It was already 2pm and the interview hasn't started. Then my friend was called. She was done with her interview under 10mins. Then it was my turn. I was sent to the room and waited for minutes then guess wat the interview didn't take that long.

Interviews.... *sigh
