More air time please!

Last week (Nov 21- 25) our Mindanao Invasion happened. Been to Davao City, Saranggani, General Santos and South Cotabato! I only requested for Davao and God gave me four! Answered prayer...and that will cap my 2011 travel adventures!

I am looking forward for more trips and adventures next year...and this time longer air travel. =) I want to have photos with an elephant and more bargain haggling in Thailand. Please Papa God send me there...also include in my package travels to Cambodia, India, Malaysia. China, HK, Macau and Singapore. Let me go with my love ones please...and extra money for shopping spree! Can you please let me win in Lotto! Highest price and solo winner? Kelangan ko na ng winning combination---kelangan more talk si Jaymar while sleeping para makahingi ng numbers...I have 3 na e...3 nalang kulang!!!

why not?

Working in a BPO industry for more than half a decade already allowed me to be more open to different ideas, to not take all things seriously and sometimes just shrug it off instead of feeling the misery. More importantly my customer service awareness level have gone more than 100%. I now know how to push for my rights as a paying customer.  Local telemarketers should level up their customer service. We also need to be world class even if we just cater within our shore.

Ano naman to? Haha! Ang labo.

I am actually watching now Pinoy Henyo. Finals. And contestants are all awesome! Crazy...pinoy henyo word: alikabok. Sino naman makakahula nyan?
***
I said sorry to our QA for the reaction I gave her yesterday. It feels good. I am learning you know.
***
So just today we bought our LPG gas tank...homey na di ba? I don't really cook, don't know anything that I can be proud of. I know how to cook sinigang. Not so special sinigang...just mix everything..bring to boil and put that pack of sinigang mix! Voila! Magic! Onehelluva sinigang ala ailynette.
***
and facebook is boring lately. because you don't go online baby! haha!

edward-bella-jacob! they're back with the cullens...pack of wolves and more vampires! I am not biggest fan but I will stand in line to watch the latest installment.

We can be the best of friends, why not?

sunny side up!

the heat is on! hottest week ever yata to for the last quarter. i have to put another round of sunblock on my face while at Serenitea. And the ice...they melt right away!

11-11-11.they say it is a lucky day so let us keep it that way! I'm so excited i just can't hide it! Malapit na....Davao here we come. And aside from that...I'm just happy today. I know...i know (talking to myself). Bakit bawal ma-excite?

I saw an add today...sale sa VNC next week! I want to buy new pairs! Its been a while...I want to hoard everything I see! I'm size 9 and is always open for donations! I now...not usual size for a girl!

Just want to share too...we are an expert now when ordering our milk tea! Sugar level..i like it in 75%...sinkers...pana cota for me. Few more sticks...i will get my free cup!

I'm thinking of getting starbucks 2012 planner but decided not to. just now.

I read a lot of books on how to control your temper..count from 1 to 10. breathe in...breathe out. But when you are already in the situation...you always forget to 'control'  i am still immature to this. i hate myself for being so reactive. I hate it when i am no longer in control of the situation. I am so impulsive.

Just before we log out today, our QA told me that she will autofail (jargon) one of my agents' call because she can't find the complete recording of that call. I was there when the agent dialed back the customer. Its unfair. Bad bay! Sorry QA girl...well talk tom. =)

Another major thing that made my day...my friend love posted in FB our supposed to be secret bridal shower for our dear friend Cha! No longer a secret! haha!
***
And it is always good to share your burden with someone. It lessens the load. And you know someone is there to back you up in case you break the crack. Someone to hold the grip when you feel like giving up.

Life is always fair, we are just playing all different roles. I can't be the your daughter...because your son will marry me soon! Haha! What a scrimpy thought? Lack of vocabulary I guess...or i just want to use that word "scrimpy!"

Thank you G for the load...and thank you A for getting half of it.

random

Happy Sunday everyone! I don't feel well. =( I loaded more vitamin c. pabago-bago kase panahon...hindi maintindihan.parang ako magulo.nalilito.kino-confused ang sarili.may sipon tuloy ako at sakit ulo tapos mawawalan na ako ng boses. Good thing it's weekend my condition will not affect my work (yes...workaholic!)

I really want to travel. Go everywhere and anywhere. I want to travel...i want to travel...go to places and just be a vagabond. A free soul- no need to log in. no bosses to ask permission for leaves. Can i win lotto please...yung highest winner! I will share in building churches. I will donate sa PGH sa cancer ward. And will give books sa mga schools sa rural areas. And will give supplies sa mga teachers in the barrio. Yung sobra...pang travel and help for my family. I will also hire Bo Sanchez to be my financial consultant. He will educate and will help me in my investments. Of course, I want my share in stock market both here and abroad. then...will open coffee shop or will franchise Serenitea located in Tagaytay just across Starbucks. Those who are nice to me will get discount card, non-transferable. 50% off! Automatic. Hay...ganito pala effect ng gloomy Sunday while watching TV.

It was my 2nd time today to attend in Victory Pioneer. I attended the 11am service, LC was with me. I miss going to Sunday schools. =) Back when I was a child...I am a bibo kid. I love reading bible stories and going to church. My uncle is our local pastor kaya we are trained to attend Sunday school. Fast track...i transferred in Manila...yun na...nakalimutan ko na mag church, not that i become bad no? Ganun pala yun, pag may strong foundation di nawawala sa system. Its all coming back to me now- the desire and the warmth of being inside the church--a community where everyone praises God.

patty and atom...

Lunch break at work today and i decided not to go to pantry and asked rhexy to get some chicken from KFC for me. I was just alone in my station when i decided to do some blog walking...I visited my all time favorite blog of Patty Laurel...and to my dismay...her old blog is no longer active. Hush! Checked googledotcom and found out she made another one! my question....WHY?!

and I am so heartbroken to know that she and atom are no longer together. super sad!!! I am a fan of their love team.

sad talaga. i can't get over it...it was unlike the "ruffa-ylmas-ruffa-john lloyd" thing...for me what they got go beyond bf-gf..it's more of soulmates! stress!!!

haha! affected much talaga ako...and super late reaction db?!

they kept everything private...i love how they handled everything...very professional and hindi showbiz...totoong tao lang. 

and i was browsing the new blog. the post there came from the old blog and so sad to see that pics posted are not with atom anymore. 

hay...ganito pala yung feeling. nakakalungkot lang. Cheers for your happiness!

Strangers

Those little awkward moments. Inevitable.

I am so wrong spelling wrong lately. I remember last week I had  a hard time writing "surroundings" correctly. Weird. I don't text text. I type them as they are.

Really, those sleepless nights are now taking their toll on me. Memory gap.

I feel bad for the blooming friendship that is now turning as if we are strangers.

Drama.
***
Fashion Week tom, I have a ticket reserved by a friend. Thinking of not going there anymore. I am not in the mood to dress up. I lost the inspiration to do it. I am not even interested to shop. What I want to do is to meet up with my friends and booze with my agents.
***
One more day...and two weeks will pass. We'll get used to it.

Diplozoon paradoxum

I read from Paulo Coelho's The Winner Stands Alone, that the only species that doesn't commit adultery and which seems to be one hundred percent monogamy is flatworm, Diplozoon paradoxum.The male and female worms meet as adolescents, and their bodies literally fuse together.

Yun na! Walang choice yung worms but to stick together.
***
Sometimes, when we're confuse maybe we have to go back to the basic. And think again, what made us stay longer.

And will it be worth the try and effort?

Coldest Choco

I went to work an hour early for our 5 hours of training and then series of meetings with Ops. Another productive day...thank you Papa God for the opportunity. I feel so overwhelmed when I'm busy and grateful at the same time because I feel useful. Just a border away from the monotony and this made me happier. Thank you for my bright yellow cardigan...maybe this add light and glow to my day.

Sipping my already cold hot chocolate from McDonald's and I'm thinking is this how things should be. I am confused. I don't know...am I confused? Another border out of the monotony, but this can't be. Sometimes it is always better to be safe.

Haggard.

without without regard

Good morning!
Wake up so early today, breaking dawn...nope...even earlier.
I finished 2 movies from Star Movies, read much blogs, bored in FB, tried to open my twitter to see what's new and ended eating slices of cake and a hot cup of coffee while trying to be so quiet because my sister is still asleep.
I drink too much coffee lately and I am trying to lessen the cups in less than 3. I read that Kris Aquino drink 5 liters of water in a day...so I must increase mine too! Less coffee more water and not to miss my face moisturizer with sunblock everyday.
Hahaha! I guess this post is getting no where.

"you're turning 360...idiot! 180!"

wala lang...just want to put on emphasis on 360 and 180.

then there is this...irregardless...regardless!

Where are these coming from?
I am no grammar girl...i am not perfect! I have a lot of English blunders too! I don't care...this is my blog anyway.

Think before you click --nice initiative. I click "Like"

And OMG. this is really terrible. A 12-year old kid molested a 4 year old girl! Horrendous! Where are these coming from? We need to be more responsible and diligent parents to our children.

Ryan Bang- ousted in Show Time...move on.

I was sharing with my team not to become a Lake but to be a Falls...haha! We like it! Learn from it and then move on!

I pity you girl...move on! Don't drag your team in your agony. Immature bitch! Haha!
***

I read one entry from BoSanchez.ph and his words strike me! I am sorry Papa God, I was so afraid...but You know that my love is bigger than my fear, I will start tithing and I'm sure my budget will stretch to more than what my family need.

And now I have to know the difference of my area of control and area of concern.

I am really impatient...because I always want to be in control. I have to let loose and let God to be in control of the things that are just in my area of concern.

See the post below?

Miss Universe 2011

Today, marks another victory for the Philippines!

Congratulations to our Shamcey Supsup for making it as 3rd runner up for Miss Universe 2011. It was a sweet victory. You deserve to have the crown...but I am sure God has designed something better for you.

Well done!

7-11 and those potato chips.

I love my best friends. They know who they are.

I watched them grow and make important decisions- they are strong- inside and out. Decisive, curious and are always students of love and life.

In every step of the way I support and cheer them! I'm like a stage mother only wanting the best for my babies.

Every time I am with them, I am constantly reminded of how truly blessed I am to have them in my life. They have accepted and helped me grow.

This year, is a big revelation for us- steps become bigger and responsibilities- BOLDER.

The choice of settling down is for me one of the toughest and I am in my peace of mind to know that they have found true love. J- that is!;while others are still in quest of what the world may bring- touring the globe and finding their niche; all of us in unison in wishing for everyone's happiness.

7-11 will always be special to us!

Poll Survey

I am not always the popular choice...I am not so sure if I will take it positively or negatively?

Yesterday, we held a survey to determine the top 3 team lead choices of our newbies and I ofcourse I am not the popular choice.

Not that I am affected that much because I am always considered "intimidating" and as lack of vocabulary "suplada and masungit!"

Maybe it's just that it takes time for me to warm up to anyone, even if we met 2-3 times, on our 4th meeting it's as if it is still our first time to be introduced. I envy people with strong personality, those life of the party and those who can easily get along with anyone in a very short period of time.

Personally, I am not fond of anyone who is "feeling close" to me.
I know I have a very strong personality. Those who knows me well appreciates and loves me those who don't...I don't care. =) Should you be under my wing will feel my love and affection, care and loyalty.

Yes I know, as a leader we need people skills...I will work on that. =)

Bad Teacher

Possessive ako.

Pag kaibigan ko or gusto ko ayaw kong kaibigan din sya ng mga taong ayaw ko. Pero may mga bagay na di ko kayang kontrolin.

Kaya I'm letting go...but before that...

I still pity you!
***
Today is a rewarding day, i learned a lot from our 4-hour leadership training. Really, everything should be systematize and no one should directly jump into conclusion or solution without finding the root cause.
***
I am very much disappointed to one of my agents, he is arrogant to follow my lead. Selfish. Irresponsible. I have done my part. Willingness- is the issue I cannot resolve.

Training:
What we need now is the "systematic way" of removing an agent and to involve other departments to resolve this issue.
***
True love waits- it is not define by beauty, it comes from within at the right time when you are ready.
--based on Bad Teacher.

I super love Cameron's gorgeous eyes.
***
Sitting on the couch ateneo vs feu.

I have wintexted a lot of motivational quotations today....

....at the back of my mind, I am now preparing my victory speech.
***
Despite the rain...summer is back! Pretty hot nowadays.

Thinking: Should I enrol to the gym?

Frustration: missing my eating buddies

Rave: DVDs I bought from St Francis and more sushi I ate for lunch
***
Craving: for more Japanese food

25th cake!

yesterday I am the happiest.

i received my 25th cake!

and a new pair of havaianas as a monthsary gift!
i am just so happy and i just can't hide it.

more than the gift it is the effort and thought that counts.

a man his size- who loves watching wrestling, tap out and other grueling action pack shows on cable tv carrying a box of cake on his way home?

Sweet right?!

500 days...

It is always good to be reminded from time to time...

need to focus now...

I'm watching 500 days of Summer.

I love Summer's look.

She can be my peg it's just that she's close to perfection. =)

Happy August

August is welcomed with much enthusiasm and food!

August 3- Bday celebration of my best bud Gary Aguilon!


I wish you all the best and hope to hear wedding bells soon! Naunahan pa tayo ni Patel...iba ka talaga Chris! Pero invited naman kami sa wedding mo kaya...thank you! We're all excited to witness your union with Princess, wala ka ng kawala!


And few days after, I was invited to attend the 2nd bday of my inaanak Samie, I am always excited to attend children's party. Kase i have no memories of celebrating my bday with Jollibee! haha! wala pa kaseng Jollibee noon when I was little in Palawan and I was born December 24 kaya awkward naman na magcelebrate ako with kids db?



Samie's beautiful cake. I love cakes! And this one is really gorgeous, I am sure that in the future when Samie see this picture she will be the happiest.
With Jollibee! Siempre para hindi obvious na ako talaga ang excited I need to grab some kids para samahan ako!  
And this is the sweetest! Samie's dad is in Italy...salamat sa Skype!  

Samie with her family, Wowa, Ajie, Mama and Kuya Migs
After her celebration....super hungry bebe girl!

And just this Sunday, after our shift, together with my agents we rewarded ourselves with sumptuous lunch in Dampa. It is also our despedida for KC before he transfers to QC to pioneer our Vonage OB account.I will surely miss you! Always, remember everything is in God's perfect time, along the journey make yourself ready...para pag-ibibigay na...game ka na!

August has so much more to offer. So looking forward for everything and most especially I am very much excited to welcome -ber months! I am loaded these coming months!

Lapit na ng Pasko!

Wishful thinking...

in resonance

I am online all day doing my favorite---reading blogs.

To be honest, mine is shabbily dressed.

In retrospect...nothing just want to write...in retrospect.

I am shabbily dressed.

I need not to be Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian...I just need to be shabbily dressed and be happy about it.

I especially loved Ala's Dos.

Rainy Monday and a flutter blouse

August is welcomed with so much rain! 

Instead of going out I stayed home for the weekend.=) I eat-eat-eat! Carbo overload. I see some fatty build up now...uh..uh! Need to be bikini ready before November!

Grabee sobrang lakas ng ulan. Buti nalang wala akong pasok ngayon. Kawawa naman si J, he's on his way to work now. He wants to be absent but I told him, we're now responsible individuals, hindi na school ang work na whenever we feel like not going to may "excuse letter." Work is commitment.

As a supervisor in a call center I know how it feels pag may absent na agent, especially kung alam ko naman na hindi totoo excuses. I heard all possible excuses. Alam ko na rin ang nagsasabi ng totoo at hindi. With the help of FB I can easily track what happened. Kahit late pang i-post ang pics.

Common excuses. Na-hold-up. Since we're working at night, this is the most common. Pag ganito na, I always give the benefit of the doubt after a day or two...alam ko na kung na-held-up talaga. And most of the time agents who are using this excuse are call center hoppers or account hoppers. 

Siempre, mawawala ba naman ang most favorite na sakit ang diarrhea- diarrhea? Overnight?! Wow naman db? Pero siempre...go lang.

Ano pa ba? Siempre you will receive a text or call stating that "I'm sorry TL I cannot report to work tonight because I am not feeling well." Very vague excuse. Been there, done that. =) Most of the time pag gamit to may inuman session na nagaganap. 

Meron din yung famous line na "we have a family emergency." or "my ___ is sent to the hospital."

Of course some reasons are valid depending on the history of the agent. 

I sometimes don't ask for medical certificate. I already know kung sino nagsasabi ng totoo. Meron ding mga selfish, they will never extend to reach the team goal. I know some! =)  Ganun sila e...wala tayong magagawa. 

Ang haba ng post ko no? haha! I'm waiting for my diamond dash in FB to gain more lives. I'm playing almost all day na. =)

Pero this morning naman I helped J do our laundry. I'm so couched potato this weekend!

I wanna share too my great finds last week:
(pictures are from google, can't find the charger of my digicam. =))

H&M LBD from a thrift shop: for only 210 pesos!

This is the best shot I got online, she wears the exact H&M LDB!  

thrifted G2000  White long sleeved Blouse;super favorite gray laced bloused from Details at The Ramp Shangri-la for 50% off! And most especially...a Dorothy Perkins petite yellow flutter blouse!

Very nice!

End of the month push

We watched the movie Priest in DVD, good decision of not watching it on big screen.Over rated. I am not really a big fun of "post apocalyptic era" especially when the vampires and guards are like maggots!

But they got the best casts and characters. I super love Maggie Q, very sexy warrior! And Bamboo Manalac is in the movie too, he's Priest! =)

G-connected.

Good morning! Happy Saturday morning!

I'm still at working and loving it! =) My 2 cups of coffee are almost empty, we now have 9 sales-indication of a good day. And I simply feel good over everything!

It is also worth to share that Ops are now G-connected. Brilliant idea Benj. We can try doing our business review thru G right and ofcourse it is DOCUMENTED!

No plans for the weekend yet. But i want to wear my new Pedro bag! Where to go? Dinner date with my great friends Cha and Joiz is a good idea. I miss you girls.

At work, it is really hard to break a badnews to someone you truly cares.

Retail Therapy

I'm on a hunt for a great pair of jeans! Can't find any that was "made especially for me!" I'm having a hard time getting that best pair!

Retail theraphy. Must leave my plastics at home and just bring enough cash everyday to avoid unnecessary trips to the mall and must avoid "window shopping!"









But i must get the following.

I gained weight and most of my pants does not fit wekk so i need to get...
Great and flattering skinny jeans














It's been months since I bought a nice pair in VNC...but I must get this kind in black and beige...
Pointed Toe Pumps












and pink sneakers. =)












I want to score a new watch too! So many things to buy!

and portray something like this...so I still need to buy that jacket! hayy...

Sunday, July 24

swim!

Girls, have issues when same dress/clothes/or any items we're wearing will be photographed twice right? Or maybe just an issue to me. Haha! As much as possible in every places or events I go I make to a point to wear something new or anything that has not been photographed or posted in FB! Silly me. Pagbigyan nyo na...mabait naman ako e.

I was looking for a best swimsuit last month when I got a chance to have this item from Ensemble--multi-way body suit with 6 ways to wear.



And of course I maximized them all!

Thursday, July 14

Surprises!

No July entry? I must have been very busy these past few days or might lost an inspiration to write anything or share something with you guys...

Still life is pretty easy more likely I am making things easy.

Work is tough but happy.

I want to be promoted this year or early next year, I want higher basic. =) I need to attract and mission that and show my intention to the bosses!

Additional two new family members for my team, I hope they do good and strive harder to stay in our company. Outbound cold calling is pretty tough! It requires hard work, determination and support.

July 3- our company went to Canyon Woods in Tagaytay, pretty place! I would love to go there again and spend the night over.

Sunday last week, I watched Transformers 3 with J and it was good! I was expecting for more, I did not find it appealing that Sam's Angel still managed to look like a manequin after all the stunts she made. Still had her lipgloss on and no stray of hair out of place. I want something more realistic. She should have shattered after all the fall, bombs and everything! Bitter me huh!? I miss Megan Fox!

I also got a chance to watch the remake of Temptation Island. Nothing beats the original!

July 10, after the Transformers, I had my 25th cake from J. I love it! He never fails to remember and let me feel that I am special. I super believe now that I have done something good to be blessed today. I am praying for more cakes- sugar free next time I supposed! =)



9:10AM and we only have 3 sales! Outbound pressure!

oh...Kobe is in the Phils! Everyone is going crazy!

Where can I buy happy hormones?

I feel so harassed today. Not so happy and the hormones inside me are all fighting! I simply just can't be happy and be okey today. Super not a good day.

Today, started with a four hour classroom training discussing about norms, beliefs and assumptions...too much for a culture and very much college...Sociology! I so miss going back to school and having a whollistic discussion of almost everything and anything.

Already logged out and instead of going home straight I decided to stay a bit and wait for Rhexy to finish their dance rehearsal, presentation for our upcoming company teambuilding...i got enough of "run the world", hoping for a good performace they have been rehearsing since last last week.

I hate it when my hormones are imbalance, most of the time I am easily annoyed and simply cannot control my emotions.

BTW, i feel bad because my beloved slippers already gave up on me! Ouch...once a favorite pair will now be discarded...memories will stay and ofcourse gotta buy new again!

Well, this post is getting nonsense...all i want to say is I feel so used and abused of so many people around me. Hay...I don't know maybe I am just reacting too much. Can i just disappear now?

the best things in life are free!

this week: the best things in life are free!

1. like the lunar eclipse two days  ago and only the 4th time in the last century and this one last over 100 minutes. lucky for those who have gone outside and witnessed how it happened. too bad for me, I am at work. i just watched this phenomenon on tv and greatly appreciated the classic shots to imortalize the event.


2. the eat all you can at Cabalen for only 318 pesos! yes, this one is not for free...but the reunion of the oldies at the table beside ours is priceless! they were at the age bracket of 55-60, they have ipods, digi cams and signatured bags! they are all cool lolas! =)

3. the free skyflakes, egg sandwich and chocolates i got today! i ate them all! i am so full again! this week and still counting i eat most of the time. i'm gaining weight!

4. and i know in my own simple way, even for a moment i made someone happy or atleast forget that she is in the hospital and is fighting the big C. i hope nanay basyon you get well and stay strong! kaya yan!

5. and the top 3 things that will make someone the happiest, this i firmly believe:
5.1 making pupu
5.2 sleeping with no alarm clock
5.3 eating!
all these 3 are my favorites!

so far this week is running so good...so good that i want to rush the time for the weekend...and pull it even more for the pay day....and even harder for our upcoming out of town getaway to Davao and Gen San and the hardest for December!

cheers for a happier life! positive attraction!

Masaya!

Soundtrack of the day: Masaya by Bamboo. I just simply love this song...ang sweet kase parang yung all time favorite ko na Beer. Mga bitter sa pag-ibig! Pero ako masaya, yesterday we celebrate our 2nd anniversary. Who would have thought we will be together for 24 months?

Coffee Mugs!

Rainy Thursday morning!

It has been raining since yesterday, perfect weather for some cuddling over a cup of coffee while watching that perfect-feel-good-movie with your special someone! Sweet! But I am at work today and instead of some smochie-smochie I'd rather get more sleep for that much needed energy at work.I am not complaining, I am just hoping to have the same weather on the weekend.
***
Sunday of June 5 is 'Friendship Day"

I was so delighted to see my bestfriends! It was like we were transported to our college days, i so love them! I wish you girls all the success in life...because in our early life we have done something good to be super blessed today. =) Or maybe, we did not hurry the moment and waited for the right time?  Whatever it is...I am just glad...super glad and happy for what you girls have become!

Soon, we will tag along our babies in our every reunions! Excited for you Tinnie!

Joizy, we have to go back there and have our shushi galore! and to my April Ann---more videoke nights with you!
beautiful ladies both inside out.

I'm super excited!
***
Over that bottle of The Bar and with good friends where you can pour your heart's out! For a happier lovelife Jenina!

***
Caramoan tour was fun but tiring, best beaches in the peninsula is covered by Survivor,we were left with the tiny islands. 520+ steps at Mt Carmel made the trip worthwhile. Other than that, going to Caramoan is not yet recommended. Maybe wait more for 2-3 years more. Or maybe, ours is an isolated case, but we feel harassed on our stay in Caramoan. I will not give any negative feedbacks because the place is ready to be explored but maybe some of the people in the place are not yet equipped to embrace the challenge.

Moreover, CamSur Watersports Complex is a genius idea! Go and visit CWC!

Vacation at last!

Time does fly! Happy 28th of the month.=) Yeheey!  December is approaching too fast! 2012 here we come! Excited much!?! Not for anything but for what tomorrow will bring, literal translation please. Tom, we'll fly to Naga and will explore CamSur and the infamous Caramoan Islands. I am so thankful that typhoon Chedeng decided to leave country early, what I am praying now is for a sunny weather on our 3-days vacation! Please, Papa God. Will blog more about it when we get back!

***

Work related, I had a 4 hours training this morning discussing about leadership creed, talking about our mission, vision and values as a team leader. I love attending seminars, trainings and discussions. I hope to attend more of this and I look forward attending our next class.

ApbKlasmeyts

The week that was sooo much fun!

Sunday is becoming my oh so favorite day of the week! This day I can almost do everything I crave from Wednesday to Saturday (my actual work days). =)

Last Sunday was so uber loaded. I had so much fun that I wished that day will never come to end. =) After work, I went to a baptismal ceremony, then spent an afternoon singing my heart out and had a wonderful dinner with my college friends.

I so miss those days where we were all together in one classroom, chasing our innocence in the portals of our alma mater, we are now grown ups (?) and slowly becoming masters of our chosen fields. Most of my class pursued Medicine and now have M.D beside their last names. I am a proud member of the family, I must say that our Apbklasmeyts is one of the most successful class DLSU-D has ever produced. =) We still are students of life. Slowly, we are unfolding what to be in the real world means.

I am a proud APBklasmeyts! Hail to our Alma Mater, Hail to De La Salle!

Doomsday

Today, kinda cold in my station and I'm loving the temperature, so nice to sleep but I cannot. And ofcourse, I bet you've heard about the latest buzz that today, May 21 is doomsday. No one will really know when will it be, for us long as our Creator is giving us the freedom to live and enjoy all His blessings be it, enjoy life, love and be kind to others.

Yesterday, with J, we watched "In the Name of Love" by Angel Locsin and Aga Muhlach. I super love the movie and how it was executed. Highly recommended. Worth every penny.

Last Sunday, I went out with my friends, Love, Cha and Joyce, had a cheap shot at Music 88, Pizza and coffee after. Singing is one of the best therapy ever! Just belt your heart out! No worries!

Just yesterday, I had another good time in Time Zone, G4. =) We had our little concert again!=) Singing is becoming addictive! I am always out of tune...haha! But I don't care. Have a happy life!

Rush

Brownout kagabi, it was so hard to sleep and the mosquitoes are feasting on me. I am so scared! I saw how Meralco transmitter flickered, as if there were fireworks and lightning showcase. I thought there will be fire...but thank God we were all safe.

Then what happened made me think what to save first on my things?

Important papers are in my office locker. Bank and identification cards in my bag.

Forget about my favorite bags, shoes and clothes...since all of my pictures are stored online I think I am safe!

If I still can and there's adrenaline rush I might carry our TV and fridge out.
Life is more important than any material things.

But now as I write this i feel sad...I still have 1 gallon of double dutch and rockey road icecream and slices of my monthsary cake in the fridge! Ouchy! They are now gone! Ice cream soup anyone?!

***
When I alpha-ed for a cab but rode a tryke then in split second I saw a yellow cab coming!

Good things happen to those who wait. Ask and believe. Alpha works! Just be patient. Don't just jump! Again, BELIEVE.

***
I'm glad, this week is over! Will have dinner with my college friends. =)

***
Happy Sunday guys! I gave up this cut off, I may not get the commission I deserve but will bounce back stronger and better next week!

I have learned a lot of things this week just need to put them in practice...it take 21 days to form a habit!

Stiches and Burn

I have to learn things everyday,one step at a time, just when you thought you are already matured and can handle everything, you will realized...you still are an empty shell. My world is a large classroom and my everyday experiences and the people I deal with are my real teachers. I need to guard my heart and lift them up to the Lord, I don't want to have a doubting heart. I gave trust to my people and several times I ended with a broken heart.

I thank God for allowing me to go to these stages and giving me a chance to become a better person,a leader and a listener. There are so many things to learn and to practice. I want to become better and to have a loving heart.

A heart overflowing with love can't help but understand and turn the other cheek.

A Lesson In Life

I got this letter from Facebook.
And it says alot about life and how it should be faced.
To the one who wrote this, thank you, I am sorry I have a limited access I can't further research your name, but if you were the author of this...again, thank you.

A Lesson In Life:

" Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight flat road to nowhere.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.

If someone loves you,  love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

Make everyday count.  Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe yourself, for if you don't believe yourself, no else will believe in you either.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

Stress!

Yesterday has been one of the toughest day I got at work. Actually this running week is. I remember those trying days in college...but yesterday at work is different, I can feel my body tremble and I am almost in tears because I am very much upset and disappointed on some agents and on how cunning they can break be just to earn more. I don't hate her now nor mad at her. I pity her for the pressure she's putting on herself to earn money for her family. Too bad, she chose money over the frienship I offer. And I'm sorry girl, your lost not mine.

And give yourself time and reflect if you really have TRUE FRIENDS.

Happy May!

That was fast! 5th month already.

And so far so good! I welcomed the month with a bang! Now, that is a cliche! But really, it was nice to welcome the month with a celebration. =)

Happy 27th Hula Mike! Thanks for the invite!

Jansen-Jenai-Jaymar and I with the b-day boy Mike (in red leis) 
Blazing fire!

What I love about this pic is the fact that Jansen (in yelllow shirt) is dancing! 
This is what I wear with my fave havs! Got this dress from Space in Shangri-La. =) 

Before reporting to work at 2:45am...need a quick caffeine fix at Mc Donalds.


Then came 11:00 Am! After our shift, my team went to Eco Park in Quezon City to have our team building. It was crowded because of the holiday, nevertheless, we had fun! 

PV 5 with our guests! Thank you guys for actively participating and for braving the heat!

All excited for the Zip Line! 

I'm sorry guys...I had to back out! Haha! Chicken!

Tapang! Pan-tangal ng stress!

Hot.Hat.

It's the hottest summer ever!
Saying so...after so many years I again bought an "expensive umbrella" with UV Rays protection.

Royal wedding is indeed  a Hat Day.


And I love Kate's McQueen!

Passport Application

Very much impatient. I need my SS ID now! I applied January 2010 and until now I am still waiting for the release! Kakainis. I waited for so long already. The least thing that I can and to release my stress is to tweet and ask help for Karen Davila. =)

Then, I called SSS thru their hotline and to my disbelief...stop production since 2009 application! I asked what went wrong...she said, something about their machine. Hay...I hope the government can do something about this.

Grabe no?!
***
Then I called 567-11-11 for passport application, in lieu of the primary id cards they need I was asked to submit:

TOR with picture and dry seal
Old School ID or Alumni ID
Yearbook
NBI Clearance
TIN (I have this)
Company ID and
authenticated Birth Certificate
Processing Fee of Php 1800 inclusive of Passport Fee, Door to Door Delivery of the passport and DFA assistance fee.


If  I am able to produce these requirements I can be schedule for appointment to DFA and my appearance will be approximately on June and the much awaited passport will become available by July.

I am now claiming to have my passport on or before Aug 31, 2011 or something better.

Aja! Looking forward for my out of the country trips!

Ant brain

Stressful week, am glad it's about to end...this time I am really looking forward for my weekend.
***
Super stress at work, some can't accept the only thing permanent is change. Just learn to accept and deal with it. Eventually everything will align to create balance. I hate it when someone becomes reactive without first thinking and researching the cons and pros. All they have in mind is "what is it for us now?"

Changes at work will always benefit the employers and employees it is for the better, unless you have the missing ant brain.

Sunday, April 17

Happy Life.


Things that I need everyday...mirror, handy dandy notebook, calendar, wide tooth comb, miura plant (a gift from a friend that I need to keep alive to prove that I have a green thumb...so far so good...growing with healthy leaves), folder for some of my files, mug of coffee, water, calendar and ID for access, ofcourse my much needed headphone and speaker phone. Not seen in this photo is my elianto lipbalm with SPF 30. BTW, I am an SPF fanatic. =) Almost everything I use has an SPF. Just bought my sunblock for the summer.

for face and for the body. 65 and 100 SPH respectively. I am an avid user of Beach Hut, I patronize my own. =)

Later after the shift we will have our Ops Teambuilding. =)
Will try to post more pics soon!
Happy Palm Sunday!

Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.

Specs

I left my eyeglasses at home. Sakit sa mata tuloy. And because of that I am not in my best mood.
***
And why some people can be so annoying.
The mere sight of that unlikely headband makes me want to pull it out and split it into two. Minsan may binabagayan and depende yan sa outfit and nag susuot.
And also the sound of that laugh...it is really annoying! Why every morning I have to bear with that sound?It's a real torture.
And there comes a time in a week where we are required to wear "corporate" and I willingly obliged but when I got to work some of my colleagues are just in shirt?! I don't really care what they wear...it is just unfair. Ang hirap mag heals and mag-plantsa kaya? But that is okey,wear whatever you want. =) I sometimes like dressing up naman and would want to wear heals.
And siempre, there is this one person who will really ruin your day for apparent reason. Because way back in your past like you two were already frenemies.

Enough of my rants. I am okey now.
***
And have you watched the Binibini 2011 last Sunday? I think Shamcey is the best bet to win the crown; a real stunner and her academic background is a major plus. Beauty and brain. Though it is not a guarantee to bring home that most coveted crown but a I am at peace that what we have this year is one of the best.

And if ever you've watched the pageant night I hope you paid attention to Lara...I am very much impressed by Precious Lara Quigaman, I super love her gowns. She's very elegant and eloquent. How I hope KC dressed the same way too.
***
I got this somewhere...and are you like this? As in NO LIFE?!!

J-10

Happy 10th of the month! Ano ibig sabihin? Happy monthsary!
One lucky girl...never missed a month without a celebration.
How many months na ba? 21 months? 21 cakes already! And I ate all of them! I sometimes share but most of the time...just ME! Now that explains the bulge in my tummy...not a baby bump! Pure fats!

With him I am Pampered. Well taken cared of. Spoiled.

I have a playmate and he's the only one who knows my 'achilles heel'

I am not perfect and I am not a beauty queen but with him I am a queen.

Thank you so much!

...labo!

Kung walang sales ang team mo...and wala sa mood mag coach and mag serve ng NTE and CAN sa napaka-kulit at so disoriented agent mag blog ka na lang sa nakaw na access ng PC mo.

Hay...with a deep sigh...parang ang daming mali sa araw na to. I feel so down...dunno why? Siguro kase di ko bet yung suot ko ngayon and the idea that magbabayad na naman ng apartment. haha! silly reasons! Or maybe I just need to drink more water to detoxify.

Basta ang labo ng araw na'to. Self-inflicted stress?! Kase it started with that quiz...when identifying root causes I examine a problem daw ba from many prospectives by considering causes which have previously been overlooked...like I apply lateral thinking?! Like duh?! Nevermind.

Overhearing my agents talking about the 'Japayukis'...one said, "lumusong man kami sa putik...naka-bota kami!" pertaining to Filipinas who worked/performed in Japan in the '80s.

...that yellow top

Hahaha! I can't help it...nakakatawa talaga...sorry J nakatulog ako! Bawi nalang next time! Nakakaloka talaga! Utang-utang...bayad..bayad! Pwamiss! =)
***
Yesterday, I was happy to bring home 3 new blouses from Shapes.=) Sale! Alam mo na...50% off.  Now, I am on a hunt for a dainty-so-girly-cardigan.
***
Realization: Most of us have the tendency to unintentionally sabotage our own growth. Yes, it was not intended or directly done to hit the goal but subconsciously committed to cover our fears and insecurities.

Bad. Sayang.

HappYness!

It was one of the busiest and happiest weekend ever. =)
Spending quality time with your family and favorite friends is the best stress reliever ever. I can't contain my happiness!  I feel so blessed that sometimes I'm asking what I have done good to receive all of these?
All I can say, Thank you so much Papa God! Kahit most of the time I am absent from your Sunday class still you understand me. Thank you!

Brazil Brazil

Eating is sinfully beautiful!

Yesterday, our team went to Brazil Brazil in Serendra...welcome meat lovers! I especially loved the roasted lamb meat. =) I expected too much but I got less. Will I recommend Brazil Brazil or should I have a second try? NO. But then again, if you love eating meaty-meaty...that's the place to be. But for me I'd rather be in Yakimix or other Japanese restaurants that offer more food choices.

But more than the place and the food they served, it is more of the people you are with, the unlimited Avocado Ice cream, the free Yoyos, the 5-years and counting cheers for success and the shots of tequilla on a hot Sunday morning.

For VOB- i always believe that there is unity in diversity.

I so love you guys!
Cheers to our continous success!

Watt

I am happy to have joined Earth Hour last night.

Can we do Earth Hour atleast once every month or once in a quarter not just once a year? This will sure give a great leap to lessen global warming. Every watt counts!
***
Though I made a promise to only go in Boracay this year to celebrate new year next year I can't resist the idea of going to Caramoan. It was really inviting and the sceneries are really fascinating. In Gods will with my friends we will be there end of May 2011. So help us Papa God!
***
Ops are supposed to be in Galera today...right after our Sunday shift but due to unavoidable circumstance we will be just in Brazil Brazil next Saturday. I am so sorry to Grace of Dreamwave, we will still do business next time.

What are my high and lows this week?

High- We ate at Holy Cow! Meat lovers are so welcome and was able to bond with Momi Eve, hopefully she pass her US Scholarship (Skalarship!) application.
Low- I was late for 4 consecutive days! Bad Cheetah!
Another Low- I am riding a cab everyday and these drivers are all "money driven" tsk..tsk...I hate it! I'd rather ride a cab with P40 flag down than those who are not willing to give your change simply because "wala po ba kayong barya ma'am" tactic! kainis talaga!
Another Super Low- there is one tryke driver that I super hate..kainis talaga yun...laging overcharged pag ako sakay! I can't argue naman kase baka pag kaisahan nila ako incase mag-isa lang ako.
High- I now know yung ibang sakayan ng jeep going home!=)
Super high- gave my sister a new digicam.
Another high- my cc bill is cheaper than what I am expecting!
Super Low- ang init ngayon lately!
Super Super Low- triple play package.
got this from twitter:

They only juggle at the circus.So juggling woman does not make you a man, it makes you a clown.

If you think you can, you can!

An old man lived alone in a village. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison.


The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation :

Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.

Love,


Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram :
"For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden !! That's where I buried the GUNS !!"

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.
Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next.
His son's reply was :
"Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad... It's the best I could do for you from here."

***
Very timely. Yes, I can.

Hyper Market

Happy Sunday morning everyone!

I'm still at work and is so looking forward for another wonderful weekend that will officially start at 10AM today as soon as I pressed star 35. Stats are good. 100 percent for sales and hopefully 103% for hours. Good job team! New team next cut off with added 3 newbies and I am hoping to do the same!
***
I have a protruding skin inflammation...pimple!
***
Yesterday was one of the happiest days of my supermarket life. I made a real grocery shopping! Hurray for me! Haha! Weird huh?! It was officially my first real grocery where I bought fish, chicken, pork...I even managed to get that butterfly cut porkchop! I filled my baskets (i opted for 2 baskets because those metal pushcarts are heavy) with veggies, condiments, noodles, sardines, corned beef, hotdogs, ham, eggs, bacon, rice and many many more! Good thing J was with me or else I will go beyond my budget. There are so many things to buy only if I have all the money to pay! Haha!
***
While at the grocery we were offered by Nestle for a free nutrition analysis (something like that)...and ofcourse as a sucker for freebies I did not let that opportunity pass...and here are the results:

BP: 80/50 (low blood)
Actual Weight: 109 lbs Desirable Body Weight: 113.9 (so my weight is perfectly compatible to my 5'3.5 inches height)
BMI: 19.4 (based on Body Mass Index (BMI) Table I am on a healthy weight)
Weight Circumference: 25.5! Winner!

Their recommendations:
Drink Nestle Fresh Milk 2 glasses per day
More liquid intake

Iba talaga ang angas factor ng mga lalaki, they are full of confidence, kahit hindi gwapo nagiging mukhang gwapo. Kahit hindi maganda ang katawan nagiging parang may 6-packs! All because of confidence...that all women should have.

One quick thought

Sana naging Japan (minus the quake and tsunami), Singapore or Dubai ang Philippines para instead of us working for them they were the one working for us.
Ang lakas maka- 3rd world ng setting.
Night shift.
Mga pinoy nag-e-english.
3 american men floor walking and checking everything there is to see.

Nakalungkot kase nasa Pilipinas palang ganito na ang set up...what more for those who were working overseas?

Sabi nga, the system has been there before you came so live with it. But never forget to take pride on yourself. Don;t change the system because you cannot, just do your share, live fair and just.

Tolentino Compound

I was able to clean our room last night, and it was hard to discard things that were supposed to be part of your life! I felt bad that I have to say goodbye to my old bags, magazines and other stuff I have collected all these years. I placed them in a box and today, officially, wala na sila! Andun na kasama si Kuyang collector ng basura.

And I started reading again...I miss reading a lot...been so very busy for the past months...everything was so fast paced. Kahit ngayon, ang bilis ng mga araw. The next I know I am again busy preparing for Christmas. 

Next week, we will be in Puerto Galera, Vob Ops teambuilding. I am so not ready for the summer this year. I started it very wrong kase. My skin are all uneven because of the climb I had last week. And it's not picture friendly to see that my knees are too dark and my left leg is whiter than my right and my arms...they are even darker than my knees! Haha! Kaya everyone, never ever go outdoor unprepared. No matter what happened never leave without a sunblock, an extra bottled water and ofcourse your digi cam with full battery!

BTW, we have installed our cable yesterday, it feels like home na.=) I changed the curtains and I washed some of our undies this morning. =)

Right now I am in our living room. J's sleeping in our bedroom. Ate ven's fixing something in our comfort room.

Our fridge now working, have not done groceries, need to make sure okey na si Kelvin before I buy anything. I bought him Feb 25 and so unfortunate me...may encountered problem si Kelvin. Some kelvinator guys will be here again later for another check up.

So far so good.

I have a quiet neighborhood. The live at door 3, and it was nice to see that I am living in a community with "normal lives!' ako palang ang nasa night shift dito.=)

Kaya everything is so quiet here. Except for the pussy cat looking for a mate!

PW visited our site na daw kanina, thank God I was not there, sana wag na sya mag-visit ulit! I really can't get over him! I am still nakakabahan whenever I hear his name associated with visit.
