lazy day

i haven't blogged for three days. i didn't get the chance to blog last wednesday because i had a bad headache at that time and i had to fill in for a different work here in the office so i was literally thrown everywhere that day. so i didn't have enough time to write.

yesterday, i met up with abba and accompanied her to blanc gallery in makati. she asked me to come with her to submit her folio to the said gallery and so i did. we had a nice time walking from velasquez park where we parked to blanc gallery which i dunno what building that was. it was just so funny because we were asked to go to the lobby and leave her folio there... the thing is... the building has this huge metal gate before you can enter and the guard was near the reception which was a few meters away from the "gate". i really dunno how to open the gate... hahaha... i was poking and slightly pushing the gate and wondering how we can get in... hahaha... finally, the guard approached us and opened the gate for us... oh well... pasensya na... wala kse sa bundok nun e... hahaha...

all went fine kaya lang nahuli kme ng traffic enforcer sa makati. beating the red light. i didn't know what exactly happened because i was texting. i was surprised when that old man in a yellow uniform stopped us. so nalagasan ng 250 pesos si abba dahil dun... she was telling me after na di ko man lang daw sya binigyan ng moral support while she was talking to the traffic enforcer. i told her i dunno how to react kse it was the first time that i experienced it. sorry abba. :)

after that mishap, we went to the 35th floor of raffles building in emerald avenue ortigas to submit our resume to voisworx and be interviewed by the company's president and another executive. it was the most informal job interview i ever had. and we were not asked to take any exam too. and the great thing is... we are already accepted... thanks to the referral of a friend with connections... hehehe... but i think i won't be pushing for the job because it's telemarketing at isinusumpa ko ang telemarketing... hahaha... though, they are promising a lot with regard promotion and stuff, i'd rather stick with my current job for the meantime and wait what will happen to me next month. if things does not improve by that time, i think i need to consider other options. i just hope i'll make the right decisions by then. :)

we ate in greenwich at the ground floor of raffles after the said appointment. we ordered the greenwich special square pizza with 2 medium iced teas. we finished the entire pizza. hehehe...

abba met her cousin tj at shangrila where she dropped me off because she needs to kill time. she's going to pick some relatives at the airport at 12am. i bought some books before i went home. got home at about 9:30pm. ang haba kse ng pila ng fx sa megamall and traffic was so horrible. i was sitting at the middle part of the adventure so masikip talaga. i was sitting beside a medium built lady who refuses to squeeze it on the person sitting next to her. so ayun... i was barely sitting as in talagang kapiraso lang inuupuan ko. if i didn't do that the person sitting to my right will not be able to close the door. so that was the scenario til we reached the end of floodway. just imagine how tiring that position was. tapos ung driver pa ang pangit mag-drive. aapakan nya ng todo ung gas tapos biglang bibitawan. major ang impact sa akin nun kse di ako nakasandal. so when i reached home, i had an aching arms, back and butt.

today is the laziest day i've ever had. we had a network problem in the office so we were logging on and off whenever the system goes down. i just dunno why during this day, it seemed like eternity at work. time was so slow... weird... oh well...

i'm feeling weird today because i'm not used to going to work during saturdays. i know it was just a month since i had the friday-saturday off but it just feels weird.

earth horse forecast for 2007

HORSE

Personality

Cheerful, quick-witted and popular. With a happy outlook, independent, subjective and self-centered. She is also good at handling wealth. A person born in this year is said to be cheerful, popular and quick- witted. He has raw sex appeal rather than straight good looks. Earthy and warmly appealing, he is very perceptive and talkative. His changeable nature may lead him to be hot-tempered, rash and headstrong at times. The unpredictable- able horse will fall in love easily and fall out of love just as easily. In most cases the Horse will leave home early. If not, his independent spirit will goad him to start working or to take up some career at an early age. An adventurer at heart, still he is noted for his keen mind and ability to manage money. Self-reliant, vivacious, energetic, impetuous and even brash, the Horse is a showy dresser, partial to bright colors and striking designs to the point of being gaudy on occasion. The horse loves exercise both physical and mental. You can spot him by his rapid but graceful body movements, his animated reflexes and fast way of speaking. He responds quickly and can make snap decisions. His mind works at remarkable speed and whatever he may lack in stability and perseverance, he will certainly make up for by being open-minded and flexible. Basically, he is a nonconformist.

The Horse likes: Riddles, Eat in Restaurants, Compliments, Conversation, Challenges and Kindness.

The Horse dislikes: Violence, Cold, Cheating, Noise, Bad Food and Lateness.

Your Luck In Year 2007

Overall Forecast

Horse will live with happiness and liveliness the whole year. Everything whether in life or at work will be arrangement with regularity and difficulties will be resolved with a helping hand. Just take such a good opportunity to focus your mind on your own business. Yet you should avoid gloating when you are in luck because strained personal relations will hinder your luck.

Career

Under the influence of general luck, your career will run full. Horses’ great capacity in imagination and creativity can be deployed. Youngsters will receive appreciations at work, which can improve your self-confidence greatly. Never quit, and you will be successful in job-hopping pr undertaking. A great social network at work can get you out of troubles which will scatter your strength and hinder you from going further as well.

Love

Your love life is just like a colourful picture. It will be a life full of imaginations and romances. Single Horses will experience pleasant surprised. Your bona fides will return warm amour. Affected by your luck, family conflicts will be resolved with reciprocal respect. Your good mood will also make you think more about how to improve the life quality. In conclusion, your love life is bright with happiness.

Wealth

Due to the good condition of your work, your income will keep stable additional returns sometimes. Just manage your money reasonably. The only fly in the ointment is your social conflicts which result in financial loss. If you benefit yourself at the expense of others, your image would be damaged, of which the loss could not be estimated by money. Business Horses will enjoy your investing luck but don’t exploit this luck.

dilemma... again??!!!

today, i've been logged in for 25 mins already and yet we have not received a single call. i dunno if it's a good sign or not. i still need 48 sign ups to get the 6700 pesos incentive. oh well... i can settle for a lower incentive anyway but as much as i could i'm really aiming for the highest incentive... lalo na ngayong wala na kmeng allowance. :(

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

just imagine how relaxed my work is. i can even blog while working. hehehe... that is the same reason i don't want to leave the company. :D actually, this is one of the reasons i got into blogging. you can say out of boredom but i think it's more of looking for a venue to express my mind... wow... parang totoo... hahaha... or should i say to make my brain work a little harder than it usually does. hahaha... so here i am now a certified blog addict. hahaha...

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

i really can't help but worry about the current situation of our company. though, they implemented that harsh cost cutting measures, our operations manager assured us that the company is stable. but still, di pa rin talaga ako mapalagay. i can't afford to lose a job lalo na ngayon na ako lang inaasahan sa bahay. but the thing is i'm getting regularized by next month and i am hoping that i will get a good amount of salary adjustment but still there is no assurance. haayy... dilemma na naman... i think i'll study my options first before deciding. i just hope that whatever happens it will turn out to be a good decision. God speed. :)

post birthday blues

i had a blast on celebrating my 28th birthday this year. i celebrated thrice... hahaha... kawawa naman bulsa ko... hehehe... i had a pre-birthday celebration last january 5 with a few friends and my mom. the next day, january 6 (sa mga di nakakaalam, ka-birthday ko si ate shawie... hehehe...) my mom and i went to see a movie because i promised her that we are going to go out on my birthday and so we did. yesterday, i had to treat my officemates because rio, one of my friends here at the office bought a mango roll for me. favorite ko un e! yummy! hehehe... so yun medyo broke ako ngaun... not to mention ung mga SVI friends ko who are asking for a birthday treat... waaahhh... oh well... i'm sure i'll be able to handle this... hehehe...

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

i'm still in a dilemma... i dunno if i'll be leaving my current work soon or wait for my regularization and decide by that time... oh well... bahala na! :)

pre-birthday celeb

i've decided to have a pre-birthday celebration last january 5 with a few friends and chose my bestest ones. unfortunately, blythe was not available because tamtam had an accident. so the three of us, abba, yoshie and me together with my mom had a pre-birthday celebration. abba cooked for all of us. she prepared her famous pasta marticiana, fried chicken breast fillet with capers and some vegetable salad with vinaigrette dressing. oh, i almost forgot to mention abba's peach crepe with chocolate syrup... yummy! hehehe... i will post all the pictures after yoshie have cropped them... hehehe... for the meantime, here are some of the pics. :)

mouth-watering peach crepe... hehehe... too bad i was so stuffed that i can only afford to eat one. hahaha...

me and my girlfriends :)

i had fun that night. my mom did too. sa birthday ulit ni yoshie... hehehe... :)

happy new year frogs!!!!!!!!

the management just started the year with a bang.

today, we were informed that the management is under cost cutting measures as per instructions of our seattle office. how nice of them to think of retracking our monthly allowances as part of the cost cutting measures! they are such genuises! they deserve a big round of applause and a standing ovation for such action. wala lang naman ung allowance na un e... those were for food and transpo only. ang ganda, di ba?! what a way to start the year. thank you, HR and admin! it's so encouraging! we appreciate it!

God is still good. good thing, i have some options to consider. ibm called me today asking about my pending application with them and i think they were just right on time. fortunately, i did not close my doors from them and asked if there are any available positions aside from csr. the girl told me that she will assess my resume and will call me back. i just hope she does.

in the next days, i will definitely contact some of my friends who can help me get a new job the soonest possible time. i might jump boats again but hopefully i'll be on the right boat this time.

what a way to end my work week! and what a nice birthday present for me! :( thanks a lot!

health matters

i had to wake up early and leave home today to have our annual physical examination at patient first glorietta 3. i didn't know that there will be a lot of people who are going have their physical examination too. i arrived at about 10:30am and was done by 12:10nn. i would like to write here what happened inside the physical exam room but i'd rather not go into details. hehehe... i'm pretty sure everyone knows what was happening inside that room. hahaha...

i forgot to mention that i saw some of my officemates there who's going to take their APE too. after the last exam we underwent, we went ahead and ate at goldilocks and left glorietta at about 1:30pm. we decided to take the cab so we will not get late. unfortunately, we had a hard time getting a cab at glorietta and was stuck in traffic in ayala. so, we were late. ang masaklap pa nun... 2 minutes lang... hehehe... oh well, goodbye incentive! hahaha...

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

a colleague of mine just brought up the topic of cervical cancer to me today. it's been bothering her because she visited an OB to have herself checked. she was told that she is prone to have the said cancer. natakot ako... kse sabi daw ng doctor, women in our age should have their regular check up with their OBs. bakit ako natakot? kse i don't go to an OB and i don't even have an OB to start with. i just don't feel that it was necessary most especially if you are not sexually active. oh well... i think i should include that in my list of things to do this year... i just hope i won't find out anything alarming. :)

gratitude to 2006

i cannot say that i had the best 2006. i had my own ups and downs. but i can say that i had made the right decisions on a lot of things during that year and i think it is only right to say thanks to all the people and the organizations that made the past year generally good. so here it goes:

to convergys: thank you for the years of experience and the good reputation i acquired from working there.

to amn: for the experience i got from working as an internet researcher.

to teletech: for the knowledge i got from all the pressures that my product trainer gave me and the sleepless days i had because of that pressure. i owe you all the technical knowledge i know right now.

to abba: sa walang sawang pagbasa ng blog ko... teka isip ako ng mas madrama... hehehe... seryoso na... thanks for the friendship and sa paniniwala mo na magaling akong photographer at merong potential na artist. :)

to yoshie: for making my boring afternoons at work worthwhile dahil sa walang sawang pakikipagchat sa akin. thank you for the friendship at laging pakikinig sa mga far from possible wishes ko kasama na ang mga rants ko. hehehe... :)

to blythe: kahit na laging wala ka sa eksena... alam ko na busy ka sa buhay mommy ngaun... salamat for the gift of friendship. :)

to love: for the friendship that defied distance and time... ano pa ba masasabi ko?! i know that i'll always have a friend in you and vice versa. :)

to meera: who never failed to check me out. ang nag-iisang friend ko since elementary til now. hehehe...

to my sups here at bluefrog: thanks for believing in me. i'll do my best not to disappoint you guys! :)

to the new friends i made last year: i'm glad i met you guys. thanks for the gift of friendship :)

to the angel who made my employment at bluefrog possible: i owe you a lot. if not for you, i won't find any working place this enjoyable. thanks a lot! may the good Lord bless you.

to my mom: for putting up with me the entire year. i hope i can give you a better life this year. :)

to all of those people who have been part of my life last year. i am looking forward to more years with you. :)

there were not so good things that happened to me and my mom last year but i don't wanna dwell on those anymore. i just want to think of the good things that had happened so i can start the new year right. i hope all of you guys will have a prosperous new year too! cheers to 2007! :)

happy new year!

it's already 2007. how time flies. the next thing i know i grew another year older. hahaha... it will be just a few days from now. hehehe... but for now, i'd like to greet everyone a happy new year. thanks to all the people who have been part of my 2006 especially to all of my friends. most especially to my bestest friends... abba, yosh and blythe. more years together and i hope our bond will be stronger as the years pass. :) i love you all! to my best buddy, love, i hope you find whatever you are looking for this year. i love you. to my mom who has always been my strength, thank you. i'm looking for more years with you in our new home. i don't often say this, pero alam nyo na mahal ko kayo. :)

i'm really looking forward for this year. in fact, i have high hopes. i hope that i'll get to keep my job and get regularized and eventually get a decent salary increase. i hope this year my mom and i will be moving to a new house and will celebrate christmas and new year there. i hope to start my computer shop this year, too. hopefully, i'll be able to finally buy my dream camera. i just hope that everything will fall into their right places. God speed. :)

ionic detox foot bath

Ionic detoxification baths are a pleasant, non-invasive way for most people to detoxify the body. A computer program runs varying amounts of positive or negative current through a water bath. All you do is put your feet into the water and relax for 20 to 30 minutes.

While you are relaxing, the water will start to change color, and in a short while, you will see sediment accumulating. Believe it or not, this sediment and discoloration is coming out of your body! How is it so? The negative and positive ions attract toxins, and pull them out of you via osmosis. That is, when the water has a higher negative charge than your body tissues, positive ions will be pulled out of you and into the water. This is good, because heavy metal toxins have a positive charge, and this is a very effective way of cleansing yourself from heavy metal and other toxins. After a few minutes, the polarity switches to positive, and negatively charged toxins will be pulled from your body.

Different people produce different colors and sediments. With repeated treatments, you will see different colors and sediments coming from yourself. Sometimes an oily residue also appears on the water.

The benefits of this type of footbath include detoxification, stimulation and balancing of the body’s energy meridians, and increased cellular metabolic rates and ATP production. ATP is a natural body chemical that extracts energy from your food and makes it available for numerous physiologic functions in the body. Put simply, you feel great, sleep better, have more energy and an improved outlook on life. In addition, aches, pains, and other conditions may be greatly alleviated. If you see the sludge that this treatment produces, you will have no doubt about the effectiveness of this modality!

Certainly, some color and sedimentation appears in the water without a person’s feet in the footbath. However, comparisons show there is a remarkable difference in the colors and sediments seen in the water after treatment of just water, and water and feet!

-excerpt from an article written by sandra talt

i've been hearing about this for months already. i saw it on tv a few times and i am still wondering up until now if this really works. i think i should try this one of these days. :)

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

this might be my last blog entry for the year. i'll be a little busy tomorrow and on sunday. i will be preparing for the medya noche so i'll be writing my next blog entry on jan 1. advanced HAPPY NEW YEAR guys!!!!! :)

i did it! :)

i was so thankful today because i was able to meet my quota for the incentive program. i thought i won't be able to but thank God i did. i was able to hit the 91 sign ups so i can get the 4900 incentive. i just dunno when i will finally get it. according to my colleague here, it was usually released on the 15th of the month. sayang i won't get it in time for my birthday but i think it's fine because i will still have the money anyway. pandagdag sa ipon ko para makabili ako ng canon camera. hehehe... sana nga tuluy-tuloy na 'tong incentive program na toh e... para naman mas lalong nakakaganang magtrabaho... hehehe...

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

three days to go before the year ends. i dunno if i'll be coming up with my new year's resolution. i don't feel like it because i end up not doing them. hahaha... oh well...

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

my birthday's fast approaching. i'm growing a year older. i just hope that i'll be more wiser and sana matupad lahat ng wish ko... not my wish list ha?! :)

as promised

i'm sitting here infront of my computer thinking of what to write for my blog. it's been a week since the last time i was able to write the daily things i did. maybe i should start with the disappointing thing that happened to me when i had my ultrasound last dec. 22.

as i have blogged previously, i went to see my surgeon a week ago and was asked to have an ultrasound. so i did what i was told. i am a hmo card holder of maxicare from our company so i was so kampante that i won't pay a cent for the ultrasound because i had the same hmo card when i was in convergys. i didn't pay anything for my 2 ultrasounds during that time so i was expecting of the same thing. to my disappointment, the coordinator told me that test was not covered. i just don't understand why maybe because i refused to understand... and also because i was too pissed to understand. i just didn't blurt out my frustration to the lady because i know it's not her fault so i ended up paying for the ultrasound fee. it's a whopping Php1420. nice, isn't it. oh well... since then, i've been cursing maxicare. hehehe...

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

last dec. 23, abba, yosh, blythe, ricelle and i had a reunion. we were supposed to be with our other convergys friends but at the last hour they suddenly backed out due to some personal reasons. nevertheless, the dinner was still fun. we all enjoyed the food that we all prepared. the menu was courtesy of abba. i love the mashed potato, kani salad, kebabs and the cheese sticks. i was the one who grilled the kebabs and was the one to blame why some of them were burnt. hehehe... it was really a fun day. though, i was not able to eat ice cream because they had me sing a few songs and when my throat was already tired they served the ice cream. hahaha...

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

today will be no extraordinary for me. i still have the same routinary and boring life. hahaha... but i have something to look forward to on jan 15. hopefully, i'll get my incentive for the sign ups i've got for the month. the good news is there is a new incentive program for us starting dec 28 til jan 27. the incentive amount will be higher than what we currently have. hehehe... i just hope i can get more sign ups for that period. i need 91 so i can get the 6700 incentive. wish me luck! God speed. :)

abba, i think you will like these :)

my colleagues showed me these sites. they contain comic strips. i am currently enjoying reading them. i hope u do too. here are the sites: grim tales and nice hair.

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

i had a weird dream last night. i dreamt that my brother gave me my dream dslr camera. hahaha... funny coz knowing my brother, he will not give me something that expensive. hahaha... i don't even remember the last gift he gave me that costs him a lot of money... bad sister... hahaha... well, i'm just telling the truth... hahaha...

matchmeter

we have this matchmeter in our office wherein one sends a certain syntax to a number and it will be flashed on your television screen. it's like text tube only this is not here in the philippines. just for fun, i tried my friends' names and their partners... hehehe... here are the results:

Abba 27 Mikkeli 24 - 83% This match is very promising, keep in mind that relationships are not always a bed of roses.

Jocelyn 26 Ron 25 - 42% You have a very loyal partner, he or she may shy away from you at times for fear of being overpowered.

matutuwa si abba nito... hehehe... kilig ako... :)

kelan kaya kita mabibili???

christmas day

honestly, i can't think of anything to write today. i know there are a lot of activities i did the past few days but i just don't feel like telling or writing all of them... maybe it's the day... it's christmas and i don't feel like working but i had to. hahaha... i'll write the full story when i get my mood to write... hahaha... i have a lot to write about... the disappointing thing that happened when i had my ultrasound, the results, the reunion at abba's place, what happened to me yesterday and this morning... i hope i'll be able to blog about them soon. :)

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

i've been listening to the lake house soundtrack that yoshie got for me and i am in love with it... hehehe... thanks yosh for the mp3s! alabyu! :)

Merry Christmas Everyone!

reunion kina abba :)

sobrang saya kse i got to see them again. medyo tiring nga lang kse i grilled the kebabs. hahaha... nasunog pa nga e... hehehe... will post the entire story soon... too busy with a lot of stuff because it's almost christmas and i had work... hehehe... :)

bluefrog christmas party @ the temple bar

as promised here are the other pics in the party. the food was great but it was the first time i was able to attend a "silent" party... hehehe... but the food was really great! :)

almost christmas :)

i woke up early today to meet my colleague at glorietta 4 foodcourt. we bought some giftcheques for our kris kringle because we can't decide what to buy our "babies". the supposedly 10:30am meeting ended up at 12:30pm. traffic was so terrible and my colleague slept on me til 11:30am. great. so i just met her after purchasing the giftcheques and ate at mcdonalds. we had a long walk from glorietta to valero st. we were both sweating when we arrived at the office. hehehe...

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

i just dunno why during this time of the year there are a lot of people who clutter to the mall and the main streets are so dead traffic. oh well... it's the christmas rush as they say it. i dunno if i've blogged about this already but because of the holiday season, i was forced to take a different route going to work just to avoid traffic. but no matter what i do to avoid traffic, it's just inevitable during this time of the year. oh well...

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

five more days to go before christmas and i am going to spend that day in the office. i just chose to go to work during that day. reason?? the extra pay i can get by working on that day. i dont have anything to do on that day anyway. but i will definitely spend time with my mom. we will be attending mass in the morning and eat out before i head to work. the only question i got in mind is if i will be able to get a ride home on christmas eve and christmas day. wish me luck. :)

i can't seem to make you mine

while looking for the soundtrack of the lake house, i stumbled upon this page in myspace containing some of the songs in the soundtrack album of the movie. i instantly liked this song upon listening to it. :) i hope you like it too. :)

In the silence of the garden
Moss arizing on the wind
And the beast is pondering love love love
'Till the rusty nail grow dim

I can't seem to make you mine
Through the long and lonely night
And I try so hard, darling
But the crowd pulled you away
Through the rhythm and the rain
And the ivy coiled around my hand

So I lingered with the people
In the silent August glade
But the rain has brought the night
And the night has brought the rain

I can't seem to make you mine
Through the long and lonely night
And I try so hard, darling
But the crowd pulled you away
Through the rhythm and the rain
And the ivy coiled around my hand

(I Can't Seem To) Make You Mine
The Clientele

i give up... for now :)

i'm resting my case in my search for the pair of chucks that i am dying to have. hehehe... i think it's not yet available here in the country and will be available next year. unfortunately, i have to wait til that time comes. i just don't want to settle on something else that i really don't want. i guess i'll just buy myself a decent pair of shoes... that is... not sneakers. or most probably, i'll just wait for my birthday and buy something for myself as a gift. hahaha...

-----------

i am going to the mall tomorrow with my colleague before coming to work. i just need to buy something for our kris kringle. honestly, i still don't know what to give my "baby". :) i just hope i'll be able to wake up early tomorrow. hehehe...

cold+s' month

it's late this year when i felt the chill in the air. if i'm not mistaken, it's just last week... or it's just me. hahaha... the reason i noticed it is because i caught colds just yesterday. i usually catch colds whenever the season changes... i mean the weather. :) i just find it weird or maybe because i'm weird too. :)

one contributing factor can be: it's the result of too much stress incurred due to the overtimes i rendered the past few days... hehehe... matindi kse pangangailangan e... hehehe...

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

i don't have much to write about today except that as early as 9am this morning, we don't have electricity due to the scheduled maintenance of meralco. good thing i woke up early today to run some errands for my mom. i left for work early today, too to find the pair of chucks i wanted in the shopping malls. unfortunately, my search was futile. hmp... my last resort will be at landmark here in makati and i'm planning to go there tomorrow. so again, i have to wake up early and leave home early. though, i was not able to find the chucks i wanted today, it's a good thing i left home early because there were people assembling for a prayer rally in ayala that caused heavy traffic. thank God i arrived early at work. so my day isn't that bad at all though i was so tired walking to find my pair of chucks... hahaha... :)

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

naaliw naman ako today... hazim, abba's special friend mentioned me in his blog... and it was abba who informed me about it. wala lang... hahaha...

tiring rest days

as i have blogged last thursday, i rendered overtime for 8 hours last thursday and went home at 6am the next day. i was never that tired all my life. whew! i slept from 8am til 4pm last friday without any meals. the only meal i had was at 2am while i was in the office. when i woke up, i had a splitting headache. geez... i didn't even enjoy my rest day. oh well... the next day, i had to go to medical city for my long overdue check up. i was scheduled for my ultrasound next week friday. geez... i have a lot of sched ahead of me this week... company christmas party on the 21st, ultrasound sched on the 22nd and on the 23rd, cook out party with abba, yosh and other friends at abba's place. iniisip ko pa lang napapagod na ako... hehehe...

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

i haven't had the priviledge of watching movies lately. i can't even remember the last time i did prior to the movie i saw last nov 15 with a friend. so i just watch movies on DVDs. i had the chance to watch DVD last friday afternoon. i watched "the lake house" and i love it. it's so nice... the plot might not be realistic but you are going to love the story as a whole. the chemistry of sandra and keanu is unmistakable. some people might not agree with me but i guess it is already given because i'm a fan of sandra bullock and keanu reeves plus the fact that i am a hopeless romantic... meron pa bang kokontra? hehehe...

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

i'm not feeling that good today. the right side of my tonsils is aching. i think i'm going to catch colds again... geez... i need my voice... sana naman ok na ako tomorrow... :)

another long day

i'll be at work today til 6am tomorrow. i'm still going to render overtime because we had to finish the BSG project until tuesday. anyway, it's my off tomorrow so its ok. i just hope i can finish the quota set by our manager. lol. the quota is feasible anyway. hehehe...

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

i asked my friend here who happens to be my shift lead, if he knows how to make tiramisu. good thing he does. he's going to make me one for christmas... hehehe... i just have to buy the ingredients and give him a stainless container. he cooks good so i'm sure masarap din toh... hehehe...

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

my mom and i are shopping tomorrow. i promised her to buy something new this month just in time for christmas... sana lang makagising ako... hehehe...

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

sweldo na bukas! yehey!!!!!!!!!!... sana lang kasiya-siya ung matatanggap ko tomorrow... hehehe...

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

i'm really excited about our get together party with abba, yosh, blythe and some other convergys friends. abba's cooking for us in her place. kainan na naman... hehehe... if you only knew what's the menu for the day, i'm sure you'll be excited as well. masarap magluto si abba... i'm sure this will be a fun day... at syempre busog day... hehehe...

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

di na nga pala ako makakasama dun sa activity sa white cross... sayang... i have work kse during that time. they said they are going to work the sched out that's why i signed up. pero sabi kanina i won't get paid if i come with them... so i told them i'd rather go to work if that is the case... nanghihinayang ako pero i need to work... sayang talaga... :(

looking forward to 2007

last night, it just came to my knowledge that our office is going to hire people on january. the first thing that came in my head is work opportunity for yosh. she needs a job so i quickly asked my supervisor to inform me when we will have an opening so i can refer yoshie to HR. i am hoping that she'll get a slot. i'm crossing my fingers. :)

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

my supervisor, a colleague and i usually eats together during our lunch break. this has been a routine that whenever they will take their breaks, i should be taking my break too... hehehe... since yesterday, we agreed to bring some food and eat them in the pantry... it's like pot luck... today, my supervisor bought sisig that he cooked. he cooks really well... ang sarap sobra... nasisira tuloy diet ko... hehehe... tomorrow, di ko alam kung ano naman ang kakainin namin... :)

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

i'm looking forward to a lot of things next year. my 28th bday, yoshie being my officemate again, my regularization and pay increase, a new house, my computer shop business, my dslr camera. hehehe... i just hope everything will fall into their right places... God speed... :)

i'm in love! hehehe...

welcome back yosh!

i'm so glad yosh is back. miss ko s'ya sobra... hehehe... i wasn't able to talk to her that much because i'm starving and i had to take my break. when i came back she already logged out. oh well... i'll have my chance of chatting with her... i'm sure... welcome back yoshie! :)

it took me more than 30 mins before i was able to come back from my break. niluto pa kse namin ung hotdog sa bagong toaster dito sa office e... hehehe... my sup brought hotdogs and few slices of ham, my other friend brought butter while i brought bread... tomorrow daw ulit... hehehe...

i had a blast today... i arrive at the office at 23 mins past 10am. as i had mentioned in my previous entries, i am rendering overtime work for the next days. i'm doing the same thing tomorrow morning. i had a lot of sign ups too today... i had 10 sign ups for the day and still counting... i need to catch up for the incentive til the end of the month... hehehe... sana lang magtuluy-tuloy... wish me luck! :)

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

our company gives a blowout party monthly for all its employees who celebrated their birthdays. for the month of december, the management decided to celebrate with the orphans in white cross children's home in san juan on december 18. i signed up for those employees who would like to join. the truth is, i'm excited for this because this is the first time i'll be able to experience this kind of thing. i'm going to take a lot of pics and post them here... :)

OT = Php :)

it's amazing that though i only had less than five hours of sleep this morning, i'm not feeling anything weird about myself nor sleepy except that i am unexceptionally perky today. yeah... i think it's weird... well... there a lot of things weird about me... so that's not new anymore... hahaha...

i'll be rendering more overtime hours on the coming days because the sups here need help in auditing some recorded TPV calls. they need more people to attend to it and finish it in time for its deadline. i have to wake up early and come to work early than my usual shift to render OT. oh well... its fine for me... more OT... more pay to expect on payday... hehehe... di naman halatang i'm badly in need of extra income noh???!!! hahaha

nakakahiyang mang aminin... yeah, i really do. i am hoping to have a good year in 2007. my mom and i have a lot of plans... sana matupad un lahat... God speed! :)

yosh... where are you??!!!

i really missed yosh today. i haven't heard from her for days already. it's just weird. i haven't caught her online either. i wonder what's keepin her busy... hmmm... anyway, whatever that is... i hope she's doin' fine.

hey yosh, if you happen to pass by my site... pls send me a shoutout... thanks... hehehe...

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

two of my new friends here at the office, swore that they will give me a make over. they are giving me a year to shed some pounds para daw maisama nila ako sa bar hopping nila at gimmick... hahaha... good luck... they are the nth people to swear they are giving me a make over... lol...

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

i'm rendering overtime again for the second time... i'll be staying until 4am to audit some TPV calls... oh well... goodluck sa kin pag-uwi ko later... sana makasakay agad ako at makatiyempo ng fx... :)

oo nga pala, goodluck sa akin tomorrow... nakakaantok pa naman sa bagong station ko... hehehe...

some thoughts

its my first day in my new post. nakakatawa... im just reading the script pero nabubulol pa ako... hahaha... i had one sign up today and it was my first call... i even forgot to mention a portion of my script because my tools logged me out... hmp... i only had a few calls and i was pulled out to do inbound customer support again because my other colleague in inbound was pulled out to do webscreening... oh well... its fine... as long as they pay me well... lol...

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

yesterday, abba was so ecstatic about something. something i can't discuss here. hehehe... we exchanged a few text messages and i remember her thanking me for being so supportive in all her delusions... lol...

for you abba my friend, i just want you to be happy... kahit ano gawin mo suportahan taka... wag lang ilegal ha?!... hehehe... that's the least i can do for a good friend... don't worry... if there will come a time that you need someone to wake you up from that delusion... i'll be glad to be the person to wake you up... hehehe... and no matter what happens... if we end up spinsters... which i think you will not... i'll be glad to share a pad with you... :)

new post, new sched

i took calls on the start of the shift today and was pulled out to get a briefing of the task i'll be handling for the next days or months or even years... who can tell... i've been through three different tasks in my current job in the span of 4 months. oh well... the only permanent thing in this world is change and it seems like my company is applying it to the fullest sense of it. but this time i requested for it because i am after the weekend off and the incentive they offer for the TPV post. i am going to work for 8 straight days this week because my sched will change too... and finally, i am going to have a weekend off. thank you, Lord! :)

ok lang na 8 days ako magtatrabaho ngayong week na toh... dagdag kita rin un... hehehe... tsaka madali lang naman ang trabaho e... you are just going to read a script... un nga lang everything's recorded... so i need to behave... hahaha...

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

my officemate asked me a while ago if i want to teach english to foreigners and asked him how and where. he told me about the work her girlfriend is into who happens to be my kababayan and long lost relative. this will be a good sideline for me. i just hope it works out. im crossing my fingers... :)

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

i missed yosh. she haven't been online for days already. i wonder what's keeping her busy. hmmm...

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

abba texted me earlier today informing me that our friend, blythe has dengue fever. i hope she's ok.

i also asked abba if our scheduled cookout for dec 12 will push through. it seems like it will be moved to dec 15 instead... and i have to coordinate with yosh pa... san na kaya un??... :)

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

it seems like my checkup schedule with my surgeon will have to wait til my next off. oh well... that's fine as long as its weekend!!!!!!!! yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

we might be able to leave our place earlier than expected. my mom is asking me to talk to my brother's friend who is an architect. it seems like our plan will be pushing through earlier than expected. as for the funds, i think my mom's going to get a loan somewhere. so, paying for it will be my task. :) i just hope everything will work out fine. :)

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

we went to antipolo again this morning to attend mass so i had to accompany her. its the feast of the immaculate conception today that's why we had to go there early so i wont be late going to work. good thing, i was not late today. :)

4th monthsary

today marks my 4th month in my current company. i have high hopes of getting regularized, though, im considering to transfer to another company if there will be a good offer that awaits me. but i still dunno if i would because i like it in here though the pay is a little small in my point of view. i like it in here because there is no pressure... no stress... you dont literally drag yourself going to work. in fact, you even look forward to the next day and would like to work on holidays too. the sups are nice too. im just having a financial dilemma that is why i would like to go somewhere that will address my financial needs. oh well... i know everything's going to be alright... :)

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

by the way, i am transferring to TPV starting tomorrow. here i come incentive and weekend off!!!! hehehe... wish me luck... :)

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

i was late today. i got in the office at past 2pm. what's frustrating is that i am late for only a minute. for some weird reason, traffic was so terrible even at 1 in the afternoon. oh well... i just have to leave a lot earlier than before.

wish list

today is exactly a month before my birthday. abba asked me to come up with my wishlist too. hahaha... well, here it is... im writing this list to remind myself that i need to save up for them so i can buy them in the near future... hehehe... so, here goes...

1. canon eos 400d (kahit canon eos 350d)

2. acoustic guitar and amplifier

3. psp

4. dvd player (already bought one yesterday hehehe...)

5. kahon (percussion instrument)

6. a guitar capo (ung pa-clip)

7. digital photography books (photo idea index by jim krause and digital photography handbook by doug harman)

8. chuck taylor shoes (olive color)

9. hat (im not quite sure how do you call this hat but i like it in khaki color)

10. tons of socks (ung manipis lang tsaka hanggang ankle lang ang length)

11. a new pair of shades

12. jackets

on top of all of these, i hope i can get a good paying job para makapagpagawa na kme ng bahay and of course, so i can buy all of these... :)

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

yesterday, i had to cancel my checkup with my surgeon. i didnt know that my mom is planning to go to antipolo to see the image of the black nazarene of quiapo. yes, the black nazarene of quiapo went to antipolo cathedral for two days (dec. 4 and 5) for the birthday of virgin mary so we grabbed the opporunity to see the black nazarene.
i was so thankful that i chose to come with my mom because we got to come close and touch the image minus the huge crowd and the siksikan.

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

finally, i had the chance to have my eyes checked. im right... i have to wear eyeglasses again... at tumaas ang grado ng mata ko... hmp...

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

i had my hair trimmed too yesterday. i had my highlights removed. so i spent a lot for my hair alone yesterday minus the one i spent for my eyeglasses. oh well... the result of having too much fetish on one's hair... you'll have a nice hairdo but the downside is you end up with no money... hahaha...

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

i almost forgot. its my friend's birthdate today. she's my classmate since elementary up to college and even worked in the same company after our graduation. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALMIRA! :)

rants, rants and rants

i cant think of anything to write about today but some thoughts thats been bothering me since this morning. my mom and our neighbors are having some issues since the day my dad left. the vicinity where i live is the same area where my relatives on my father side also lives. since my dad left, they've been treating my mom as if she does not exist. we've been hearing a lot of things said about my mom that are so judgmental. oh well... i dont want to dwell on that.

im just having thoughts of moving out from that neighborhood the soonest possible time. i just dont have enough money to do that. i would be doing my mom a great favor if we will leave the area but i just dont have enough funds to support it. haayyy... why does it have to be this difficult???!!!... we never caused anyone any trouble nor hurt anybody and yet this is what we get???... i just dont get it. it really sucks...

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

im wondering if i can get a loan from PAGIBIG funds... will they be able to help me finance building a new house???!!!... i guess so but i still dont have the land title of the lot i am purchasing... too bad... any suggestions???

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

im going to medical city tomorrow for my supposedly quarterly checkup with my surgeon. this is already long overdue i should have come back last october and had my ultrasound by that time too. too bad, i dont have enough money to spend and i had to wait for my health card to be released before i can go see my surgeon... haayy... ang hirap talaga maging mahirap...

my eyes hurt :(

i only had four hours of sleep today. i left the office at 4am this morning and reached home at about 5:30 am. i had to wash my plastic container where i put my baon before i finally got to sleep. i woke up feeling my left lower leg muscle aching. i dont even remember why it is aching but i have this feeling na pinulikat ako while sleeping. i just dunno if it was real or im just dreaming... hehehe... too tired and sleepy to separate the real thing from a dream... hahaha...

on my way to the office, i can feel that my eyes would like to shut and rest but my brain does not want to. so i ended up spending my trip going to my office with my eyes shut but not asleep... weirdo... hahaha...

i cant even stare at the computer that long so i had to buy a visine from 711. it helped a lot in easing the weird feeling when you did not get enough sleep. oh well... i remember i have to work doubly hard... christmas is near... hehehe... i just hope the next time they request me to render overtime work, its my off the next day so i can do a doubleshift and rest the next day... haayyy...

by the way, i was so hesitant to go home this morning because i am a little scared. i had to leave my wallet and iPod nano inside my locker for precautionary measures. hahaha... di naman halata na mahal na mahal ko ung iPod ko noh???!!! hahaha... though, i would like to take a short nap while traveling i just cant... im just too afraid... good thing i was able to go home in one piece... thank you Lord! :)

good luck na lang sa kin... sana d ako antukin... hahaha...

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

i just remembered last night while i was taking a call from a customer, i can feel na tinatamaan na ako ng antok e. i was explaining something to her but the thing is dahil inaantok na ako... nababaluktot na english ko... kahit ako di ko na maintindihan sarili ko e... i was speaking with her for more than five minutes i think... sumuko na lang siguro sya kse di nya ako maintindihan... hehehe...

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

we were given a new set of icebreakers today. icebreakers???!! yeah... the miss universe questions set 2... hahaha... it seems like it will smell like fried brain cells again... hahaha... here are the questions:

1. if you were the Grim Reaper for one day, whose life will you take and why?

2. name three (3) things you think will be obsolete in ten (10) years. why did you choose these three?

3. if you were not afraid of anything, what will you do? why?

4. is religion good or bad? explain.

5. in your opinion, what policy or house rule needs to be strictly implemented in the company?

6. have you ever had to work with someone who did not share your work ethics? how did you manage it?

great timing, isnt it? ngayon pa na konting oras lang ang itinulog ko... my brain is not working properly... buti nga im still nice with the customers who are calling e... hehehe... later magsusungit na ako for sure... hahaha...

i will answer these questions tomorrow... low volume naman kme tomorrow e... :)

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

oo nga pala, nakikipagbrasuhan na ako dito sa office para magkaroon ako ng weekend na off. my other sup wants me to stay in inbound because she just knew that i am transferring to TPV. i told her that i am going to stay in inbound if she will give me a weekend off. hahaha... astig noh?! kala mo kung sino... hehehe... i was never demanding... ngayon lang... dapat lang naman siguro... i followed their orders without questions... i never whined... so its time that i reap the benefits of being a good follower... oh well... i hope...

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

di na naman ako nakasimba... hmp...

paintball + go karting = overtime???!!!!

yesterday, abba was telling us (yoshie and me) stories about her experience with paintball together with her pamangkins. she told us that its fun and would like to do it again with us. i asked her if the balls hurt when it hits you. she told me medyo and she even have a sore pinky because it got hit. i told them that id just watch them and take their pics because i dont want to be hurt... hahaha... its not so me... mataas naman ang tolerance level ko with pain kaya lang id rather do something else... like go karting... hahaha... expensive way of spending your leisure time... hahaha... so we (abba, yoshie and me) agreed that we are going to save up for paintball and go karting... i think i'll give paintball a try but ayoko ng messy e and ayoko ng pinagpapawisan ako ng sobra unless im exercising... oh well... i think i dont have much of a choice... right abba??!! hahaha... oo nga pala, abba wants it on my birthday... hahaha... goodluck sa atin... sana i have enough money to spend by that time... hahaha...

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

i requested yoshie to make me a testi for friendster yesterday. i just read it a few hours ago. honestly, naiyak ako dun sa testi nya for me... naiyak sa kakatawa and seryosong naiyak ako... hehehe... wala lang... na-touch ako e... hehehe...

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

i am rendering overtime today til 4am. too bad, di ako makatanggi e... wala kseng tao dito sa inbound... di naman pwede ung isang kasama ko kse mommy na sya... haayyy... sana lang di ako antukin til 4am later... tsaka tomorrow pag pasok ko ng 2pm... hehehe... extra pay rin toh... hahaha...

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

yoshie's going to give me the copy of my turbo jam today... hehehe... ang saya... makakapagturbo jam na ko... but the thing is... i dont have a dvd player yet... hahaha... loser... hahaha....

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

i expressed my intention of transferring to the TPV account here at work... nakakahiya mang aminin... im so desperately in need of extra income... meron kseng incentive dun e... so it will be a really really big help... sana nga lang ako ung ilipat nila dun... pagkakataon ko na rin para makaranas naman ako ng weekend off... hehehe... here i go again... im crossing my fingers... but unlike before... di ako umaasa... i dont want to end up whining again... :)

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

just like the other storms that have ravaged the country, super typhoon reming is no exception to those storms that left so much destruction and death toll. i just read in inq7.net that there were 108 dead bodies recovered that were buried in the mudslide in bicol and it is feared that there are more bodies unrecovered. geez... ang dali ng buhay... i pray for the souls of those who died in this calamity... may they find peace with our creator... and to their relatives that they left... may God provide them the strength they need to move on... amen.
