TULOG

Sumama na yata sa dugo ko ang gatas na ininom ko kanina

ngunit hanggang ngayo’y di pa rin ako dalawin ng antok

kahit anong lamig pa ang dala ng gabi.

Bakit ikaw,

itinumba mo ang matapang na kape,

pero hayan at malayang namamaluktot,

yakap ang matigas na unan.

Pinapanood kita sa yong pagbiling-biling sa nilamutak na kutson.

at sa lumalalim mong pagtulog habang hinuhukay ko mag-isaang gabing iyon,

nabibingi rin ako sa hagok ng iyong paghilik -

hudyat na nagtagumpay ka na naman at narating ang mga panaginip.

Mag-isa ka na namang nakapaglakbaysa mga pangarap na dapat tayong dalawa ang aabot.

Nangako naman akong sasamahan kita kahit saan

ngunit bakit

hanggang sa panaginip di mo ako kayang pagtiwalaan.

Iniwan mo na naman akong nakatunganga…

naghihintaysa pagbabalik ng yong ulirat…

nag-aabang na sana’y bigla kang

maalimpungatan at makita mong gising pa pala ako sa tabi mo

at tila kuwagong nakamasid sa ‘yong paghimlay.

Naghihintayna kahit pakunwari,

kahit pasinghal pa,

kahit walang anumang lambing

sabihin mo sa akin, “tulog na tayo”.

Lazy week that was

This is one sluggish week.I did not feel like working so I made every excuse I can think of so to avoid taking in toxic calls.

This is how lazy boy worked this week.

When I went to work last monday,I was really sleepy so I slept the whole shift.hehe.I slept while the customer was on hold,I slept while on break, I slept when there was no call.I slept big time like I never sleep for ages.I have been caught a lot of times but good thing I am good in making alibis.

On Tuesday,though I know I can still work I complained about my sore throat and "fever" then went to the company's clinic to avail of medicine.Good thing that the nurse was also lazy enough that she never bother to check my temperature.I just told her she need to sign up a form so I will be allowed to go on undertime.And I was surprised, with no questions asked, she signed up the form.So I went home after answering three sup calls.Then I slept again.

On Wednesday night,I went out to meet some college friends at Glorietta so I think somehow that changed my mood.I went to work,loaded myself with extra joss and took in calls.

By thursday, I woke up late like 30 minutes before my shift.Then I just decided I wont go to work.I sleep till 11 in the morning then went home to Bulacan.

On Friday, I went on a vacation leave.And saturday and sunday will be my restdays.Saya.Buhay ng tamad.I really have no idea why I started to feel like this.But I am certain that it just take one strong motivation so I will feel productive again.That motivation I guess can be a person (well I am still ranting about my lovelife)or some big changes, because everything gets boring already.

I did mention above that we had sort of college mini reunion last wednesday.I went out with my girlfriends at Super Bowl Glorrieta 4.Hehe.They are actually my groupmates for most of the group projects I had during my last year in college.

I was the only guy in the group so it was really difficult dealing with them but I guess conflicts happens to any group not just us.Considering that the last yr is really the most crucial and difficult stage of college life.And despite all the trouble,thank God we graduated.

On this reunion we have,we ate like there's no tomorrow(the food in Superbowl were good), reminisced our college life, realizing that despite the pressure still we all miss going to school , a little chit chat on what's going on with the life of this and that classmate and updating each other's lives and planning of the next reunion.But then, since some of us are on night shift and still have to work, we parted ways shortly before midnight.Although the time is really short, it was really fun seeing them again.Really I had a good time which I needed since I am starting to get sick of my job.

To Diesel, Grace, Claire, Joan, Evelyn and Cecil I am so glad seeing u guys again after two years.There's a lot of changes but I am so happy that our friendship remains intact despite not seeing one another for so long.Hope we will have a get together again real soon..

Happy Anniversary Batch 16

November 29th marked my one year anniversary on this company I am working with.There's no celebration or anything, I just greeted some of my batchmates and told them "I am so happy we survived."hehe.I know I am not the only one who complain every now and then how company politics is so rampant,why we are not compensated enough, why our salary rates is lower as compared to other call centers yada yada yada but I was really happy that despite all the whining I stayed and reached my one year.I know I said this a lot of times already but what really makes it difficult for me to resign is that I dont wanna leave the people, most especially my friends.I have no idea how long will I have to stay but definitely if that time comes it will be really painful since I have been with three call centers but this is the only one that I found a family, a home that I can called.Eww,I am getting mushy again.

Para sa palaboy

Thanks for inspiring me to write a poem again.

Para sa palaboy

(Walang maisip na pamagat)

Sana ay nakilala ka isang tag-araw

Sa isang panahong puso mo'y puno pa ng sigla
magmahal

Kung kailan batid pa ng damdamin

kung paano ang magtiwala

kung paano magparaya

Sa ilalim ng malawak na langit

At liwanag ng haring araw

Sa iyo ako ay lalalapit at mangungusap

Buhay mo ay hindi na malulumbay at papanglaw.

Sana ay nakilala ka pagkatapos ng mahabang
tag-araw

Kung kailan hindi matingkad ang liwanag ng langit

At ang araw ay nagtatago sa likod ng mga ulap

Ang isip mo ay lito

Ang puso mo ay gulo

Yayakapin ka

Hahagkan ka

At ako sa iyo ay mangungusap

Ang puso mo ay hindi na mangungulila.

Sana nakilala ka sa panahong walang tigil ang
pagbuhos ng ulan

At naghahari ang karimlan sa galit na langit

Makikita kitang naglalaro sa ulan

Lumuluha.
Ang sabi mo ay pagod na ang puso

At damdamin mo ay manhid na.

Ikaw ay sasamahan at sa puno'y sisilong

At ako sa iyo ay mangungusap

Makakalimot din ang puso at muling
magmamahal.

Sana ay marinig ng langit ang awit ng puso ko

Sana ay sumapit na ang tag-araw

Nang manumbalik ang sigla sa puso

Muli ay magpaparaya

Muli ay iibig

At nawa ay matapos na ang unos at ang ulan

Sapagkat pagod na rin ang puso
na lumuluha

at umaasa

Dahil ang puso mo ay ari na ng iba.

Jologs mode.hehe.I like this song.

CHORUS

Ipaglalaban ko ang ating pag-ibig

random thoughts

I dunno why I am starting to feel lazy going to work these days.Must be because of the cold weather.Angsarap matulog ng mga panahong ito.I have consumed all my remaining sick leaves and planning to file vacation leave this December.

Lapit na December.I am excited for the Holiday season.I am looking forward to be with my family and some friends, for reunion.At siyempre ngayon pa lang kailangan magipon na at maghanda na ng list ng bibigyan ng gifts which is is really hard.Of course kailangan mong isipin kung magugustuhan ba ng bibigyan mo yung gift mo.So kailangan talaga planado.=)

And of course malapit na rin ang birthday ko.I am a yeard older.huhu.Sana hindi lang ako nagmature in terms of age, but I do hope that I become wiser and better person.

I got the chance to see HP4:Goblet of Fire.Fantastic movie I must say, cinematography, special effects and fine actors.It's a good thing that I read the book first before seeing the movie.Angdaming kulang kasi na hindi na pinakita sa movie.According to Ferdie's trivia, originally mike Newell planned of adapting the book into two several films, pero siyempre they have to consider the budget.kaya pinilit daw bang pagkasyahin sa isang movie lang ang lahat?hehe.Pero ok lang.Overall its a good movie.

---

I am planning to take up short term courses on programming and networking this December.Para in case magresign ako next year, makapagapply naman ako ng ibang work at hindi na sa call center.My friend cliaire who is already at accenture working as a software Eng'r is encouraging me to apply.pero ayoko namang sumabak ng hindi ako handa.Angtagal na kasing nabakasyon ng utak ko.

---

Sobrang haba na ng buhok ko ngayon.kahit hindi na uso ang F4 look, I don't care.At least nagawa ko na 'yung gusto ko na magpahaba ng buhok.Kaya lang ang gastos nito sa conditioner at hot oil.Ang hirap pala magmaintain ng mahabang buhok.

---

Ang dami kong namimiss na tao ngayon.Ako kaya namimiss nila?hehe.Sensya na senti mode lang po.kailangan ko lang cgurong magbusy busyhan uli sa work para madivert yung attention ko.kasi kapag wala akong ginagawa, inaatake ako ng pagsesenti at kung minsan pa nga umaabot sa depression.

Lemme check my friends' blog.I hope their blogs were updated.I wonder how they are doing.=)

Ever After
By: Bonnie Bailey

Three years ago, our journey began
Chasing down this cure, no plan in hand
Just your pulse, my racing guide in the dark
Just knowing with conviction from the start

The moment your eyes made an introduction
I felt my second violent breath of life
Flawless to the point of being godly
Yet I fell hard for your imperfections

And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you

Nothing compares to the good times
Feels like we're floating, when the rest have to climb
You made me believe in love, and not the perfect kind
A real messy beautiful twisted sunshineEmotions, volcanic eruptions
We both still care, so we're still alive

Tunnel vision, determinationI want you, I want to make it right
And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you
You are my twisted sunshine
You are my twisted sunshine

And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you

And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you

Can't wait to see the movie....

Gimik weekend

Naiingit ako sa mga barkada (Sarah,Dave,Mitch,karen,Ibs, Jerrick) ko na pumunta sa Quezon this weekend.Tiyak na dami na naman nilang kuwento paguwi.Paalis pa lang iniinggit na ko ni Sarah nung sabado.Alam niya na masama loob ko dahil di ako nakasama.Ngayon lang ako nakamiss sa gimikan namin.Kaya tumuloy kaagad ako ng snooze box after the shift.Ayoko makita silang papaalis.Para talaga akong bata last Saturday na nagtampo sa kanila dahil hindi ako nakasama.hehe.talaga naman.

blogging senti mood

I so miss blogging.I so miss reading my friends' blog.I think this is the price of living away from home.Somehow,I felt so deprive of my right to express myself thru writing.Hirap ng walang PC.=(

Marami akong gustong isulat nitong mga nakaraang araw.Sobrang dami kong naiisip, yung bigla na lang out of the blue, may ideyang lalabas.Pero sayang at sumama na naman sila sa hangin.Nawala na lang sila na parang bula.Dahil sa ngayon hindi ko alam kung saan at paano magsisimula.

Nakakamiss magsulat sa blog.Although hindi lahat maisusulat ko dahil naiisip ko rin kung tama ba sabihin ko ang isang bagay na personal sa akin.Kaya naman hindi talaga lahat naisusulat ko dito.Pero sobrang laki ng naitulong ng blog na ito.Nakakamiss tumakbo dito sa mga sandaling masaya ka o kaya'y natatakot, nalulungkot, naghahanap ng mahihingahan ng sama ng loob.Ito kasing blog na ito, nakikinig lang at walang reklamo.Ewan ko lang kung sino sa mga kaibigan ko ang makikinig sa mababaw kong kuwento,malamang mapipilitan lang sila.

Marami din akong natutuhan sa mga blogs na nababasa ko mula sa ibang tao.Mga kuwentong kung minsa'y nakakarelate ako dahil nangyayari din sa akin.Mga kuwentong nagpapaalala sa akin na maganda ang buhay.

Hay,Sana tuloy tuloy na uli ang pagsusulat ko.

Bloggie Hiatus

It feels like I updated this blog for 48 years. Paano ngayon lang kasi ko nakauwi ng Bulacan.Nakakuha na kami ng Apartment ng friends ko malapit sa Market Market.Walking distance lang ito.Its a studio type unit with one room.I am with three of my Friends, my bestfriend sarah, team mate Mitch and sarah's temamate karen,ala Pinoy Big Brother ang drama namin ngayon.noon pa namin ito plan kaya were all excited na magkasama sama.And I am thankful na sila ang kasama ko.Patay ako dahil mga mga obssesive compulsive ang mga ito.Ako pa naman minsan hindi organize sa gamit ko.

Safe at maayos naman yung place.Most of the time naman hindi kami nagsstay sa Apartment.Mas gusto ko matulog sa office dahil centralized ang air condition.Sa market na rin kami kumakain.Kailangan lang umuwi para maligo.At pag wala namang magawa, ayun window shopping sa mall.Pero nakakahomesick din pala yung ganun.Nasanay kasi ako dati na uwian sa Bulacan.namiss ko luto ng nanay ko kaya kanina, pinagluto niya ko ng dinuguan at paksiw na bangus, sarap!=p.And namiss ko si Victor,that's the name of my PC, kaya nagbonding kami ngayon.hehe.

I wonder how my friends are?And speaking of friends,nagcheck ako ng friendster kanina,angdaming bagong features, ngayon pwede na ipersonalized yung profile page.Astig!I did some changes on mine.I added the video of jason mraz on it.Tapos inupdate ko rin photos and profile site ko.Parang myspace, pero it took some time para magawa yun ng friendster.share ko lang.add niyo pala ko sa friendster :arfelipe@yahoo.com.

Kagabi lang uli ako nakapanood ng TV.Parang pinagkaitan kasi kami ng magandang buhay sa paratment.Hindi pa kami nakakabili ng TV .Ang corny.Kaya hanggang Master Showman pinanood ko talaga kagabi.walang tulugan ito.
Ngayon mas sinisipag na ko magOT, lapit lang kasi ng bahay sa work.At kahit late na ako magising, ok lang.Makakapaglakwatsa na rin ako ng hindi nagwoworry na paguwi ko ng bahay ay may magtatanong sa akin kung saan na naman ako pumunta.Hehe.Pero siyempre kahit na feeling ko nakalaya na ako sa kulungan, kailangan maging responsible din ako kung anuman 'yung mga gagawin ko.
Baka magDVD marathon na lang ako today.I was planning to play badminton pero sinumpong na man ako ng katamaran.mas gusto ko maglakwatsa sa mall.kagabi gusto ko gumimik pero wala naman ako kasama puro may shift ang friends ko.
Sana may bago namang mangyari sa buhay ko.Nagiging routine na naman ang lahat which I really hate.Nagiging boring.nakakabato.Sana Xmas na.Para makaramdam naman ako ng kakaibang atmosphere.

---
To my friend W, sana maging okay na ang lahat.Good luck on your review and on your board exam.Kaya mo yan.Dito lang ako palagi.

Buhawi Rita

Akala ko petiks pa rin ang buhay.Muntik ko nang makalimutan na ang sento pala ng buhawing Rita ay sa Texas at maraming mawawalan ng kuryente bukas.Kaya tiyak na maraming dadagsang tawag mamaya.Parang nung umatake si Hurricane Katrina, dami rin naming tawag nun.So good luck na lang talaga.

Bakit kaya sunod-sunod ang hurricane sa US ngayon?Kawawa naman 'yung mga Amerikano.Ipagdasal natin na walng gaanong pinsalang idulot ito sa buhay at ari-arian nila.Sana lang dito sa atin, wag nang magkaroon ng super Typhoon o kahit anumang kalamidad kagaya ng mga hurricane sa US.Heto nga pala yung update sa Hurricane Rita from www.cnn.com.

Roads jammed as residents flee Category 5 hurricane.
GALVESTON, Texas (CNN) -- Hundreds of thousands of people fleeing inland snarled traffic on interstates and highways leading out of Houston, Galveston and other cities along the Texas coast as powerful Hurricane Rita churned towards shore.
Forecasters said that the storm had weakened slightly early Thursday, but warned that it was still a Category 5 storm. At 8 a.m. ET Thursday, Rita's maximum sustained winds had dropped to 170 mph (273 kph). The storm was centered about 490 miles (788 kilometers) southeast of Galveston and was moving to the north-northwest at 9 mph (14 kph).
Galveston Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas told CNN that about 75 percent to 80 percent of the city's 58, 000 residents had evacuated by Thursday morning. "We hope that whoever is left here... will move on out today," Thomas said. "We hope and pray that Hurricane Rita will not be a devastating storm, but we got to be ready for the worst," President Bush said in Washington.
Galveston was flattened by an infamous hurricane in 1900. Around Houston, interstates and highways carried bumper-to-bumper traffic as residents tried to make their way to safer areas. About 15 patients from a Texas nursing home were being taken to a Houston hospital after they fell unconscious when carbon monoxide came through the vents of the bus evacuating them, a police dispatcher said. Some people leaving Texas cities this week were experiencing their second evacuation in a month, having fled Hurricane Katrina to Texas. "I'm prepared to be gone two weeks or more, and I have medication and everything my kids need to prepare myself for that," said Julia Marshall, who moved to Galveston earlier this year from New Orleans with her five children.
Corpus Christi Mayor Henry Garrett signed mandatory evacuation orders Wednesday for 250,000 people in that Texas coastal city and the rest of Nueces County. Garrett said the 13,000 to 15,000 residents of Padre and Mustang islands and low-lying areas of Corpus Christi must leave their homes by 2 p.m. (3 p.m. ET) Thursday. The rest have until Thursday evening to leave. Garrett said he is ordering the evacuations at least a day earlier than he normally would because of the disaster wrought by Katrina. Although Rita is expected to make landfall early Saturday between Galveston and Corpus Christi, the National Hurricane Center has not ruled out an impact for Louisiana, where post-Katrina recovery efforts are continuing.
The hurricane center said Thursday that Rita could dump as much as three inches of rain in the New Orleans area when it hits Gulf Coast -- a threshold that the Army Corps of Engineers has said may overwhelm that city's fragile levee system. "There is still a risk from New Orleans and eastward of upwards to about three inches of rain, at least that's the current projection," said Ed Rappaport, deputy director of the center.
Officials started closing the flood gates around Lake Pontchartrain Thursday morning in preparation for the Rita. More than 1,000 deaths are blamed on Katrina, which struck August 29. A hurricane watch for Rita was in effect for nearly the entire coast of Texas from Port Mansfield, north of Brownsville, to Intracoastal City, Louisiana. The watch means hurricane conditions, including sustained winds of at least 74 mph, are possible within 36 hours. A tropical storm watch was in effect on either side of the hurricane watch area. Hurricane-force winds were extending outward for up to 70 miles from the center, and tropical storm-force winds were extending up to 185 miles.
Several refineries, that process about 3 million barrels of oil each day, could be threatened by Rita. Some energy analysts predict that disruption from the storm could trigger a surge in gas prices. Category 5 storms -- which can generate storm surges higher than 18 feet and can cause catastrophic damage to buildings -- are rare. Only three such monsters have made landfall in the United States in the past 70 years, including Andrew in 1992, Camille in 1969 and the unnamed storm that hit the Florida Keys in 1935.

kapag sinumpong ka nga naman ng katamaran

Sa loob pa lang ng FX habang binabagtas nito ang North Expressway kagabi, nagiisip na ako ng idadahilan ko kay TC Dale para makapagabsent ako.Medyo nahirapan ako magisip.Wala naman akong sakit,ni sipon nga wala eh kaya kailangan ng kaunting dramahan dito.Pero mahirap yatang humanap ng bawang sa office na ilalagay sa kilikili.hehe.Mabigat na mabigat ang pakiramdam ko pag-upo sa station.Ni ayaw kong tumingin sa katabi ko.Ewan ko ba kung anong meron,alam kung may mga iniisip ako pero bakit pati trabaho ko kailangang maapektuhan.Hindi naman ako ganito dati.

Nagcheck lang ako ng email at updates, pagkatapos ay nilapitan ko si Meg.

"Meggy tinatamad ako maglog-in..."

"Eh bakit ka pa nagpakita, eh di sana nagfile ka na lang ng sick leave."

"bahala na, magpapaalam ako kay TC."

Fifteen minutes bago ako maglog-in, lumapit ako kay TC.Sinuot ko yung pagkakapal kapal kong jacket kahit hindi gaanong kalamigan nung mga oras na iyon.Kunwari'y nanginginig pa 'yung boses ko habang nakikiusap sa kanya:

"TC, kagagaling ko lang po sa sakit.(Tiyempo namang restday ko kahapon at di nya ko nakita.)Pwede po bang ifile ko na lang ito ng sick leave.Pinilit ko pong pumasok, akala ko kaya ko, kaso naulanan po kasi ako kanina at masama ang pakiramdam ko."

Si TC naman hindi nagdalawang-isip.Convincing ang arte ko.

"Oo nga eh, nanginginig ka pa.Umuwi ka na lang muna at magpahinga.May dala ka bang payong?"

Nakunsensiya akong bigla.Kahit nagsisinungaling pala ako concern pa rin 'tong TC ko sa akin.Anong magagawa ko eh hindi ko malabanan 'yung katamaran ko.Tao lang po.

May pabaon si TC bago ako pauwiin.

"Kaso lang Art bukas wag ka aabsent.Bukas darating yung Hurricane Rita sa Texas.Marami tayong calls.Critical day 'yun."

"Yes Tc."

Patay na.Balak ko pa namang umabsent uli.Wala talaga akong kagana-ganang pumasok.Paano'y pupunta kami sa Novaliches dahil dumating ang Tita ko na galing australia.Siyempre kailangang maambunan ng grasya.hehe.

Sa sobrang katamaran talaga, hindi na muna ako umuwi.Pumunta ako ng snooze box malapit sa pantry at natulog mula alas dose hanggang alas sais ng umaga.At dahil feeling ko kinulang ako sa tulog,'nung papauwi na ako,natulog uli ako sa bus papuntang Balagtas.Nagising na lang ako na nasa bus station na ko at kailangan pa kong gisingin ng driver dahil ako na lang ang tao sa loob ng bus.

Last Song Syndrome ito

I watched maalaala mo kaya (MMK) last night.The story was good, not really a tearjerker though like other episodes.But what struck me the most is the episode song , so i searched for the lyrics...

Goodbye's Not Forever (Heart & Geoff Episode On MMK)

Artist: Erik Santos

Album: Loving you now

I Never knew that our love would end this way

i thought this love could make it to forever

you said goodbye and you left me all alone

how can i live without your love

how can i carry on

Chorus

Baby,I Need Your love

i wish you were here to stay

cause here i am,please love me again

Bring Back our hearts forever

i asked myself

why you turned and walked away

please tell me how so that i can make you stay

but you said goodbye and you left me all alone

how can i live without your love

how can i carry on
(Repeat Chorus)

Ad LIB

Chorus

Baby,I Need Your Love

i wish you're here to stay

cause here i am, please love again

bring back our hearts together
but dont let this love of mine

keep longing for all the time

when you and ican build a dream forever

CODA

When you and i can share the love Forever

Updates Updates

I am so sorry for not updating.I almost forgot na may blog pa pala ako.hehe.Sobrang busy lang talaga.I have a lot of things in mind that I wanted to write pero hindi ko alam kung saan ako magsisimula.

I filed a vacation leave this september 15 and 16 tapos restday ko ng 18 and 19.So four days vacation ito.I have never been absent sa work since training started december 2004.Siguro its about time na magpahinga muna ako.Angdami na nagcocomment na sobrang payat ko na.Tignan ko lang kung tataba ka kapag 4 hrs biyahe mo everyday,3-5 hrs sleep,sometimes namimimiss ko pa kumain, tapos ang dami ko pang personal issues and problems na naiisip every now and then.Sabi ko nga kay Sarah,yung bestfriend ko, Mukha pa ba kong 23 ?hehe.I will take a leave para maipahinga ko utak ko at makapagisip.

---

Anyway,I have been with the escalation team for one month already, medyo nakapagadjust na ko kahit paano.Naeenjoy ko na 'yung ginagawa naminkahit kasuka suka yung mga calls.Pressured naman ngayon to maintain high quality scores, may consequence management na kasi ngayon so kailangan maganda ang metrics.

---

A month ago, I was planning to resign na talaga,I was thinking of transferring to another call center-RMH that call center located at ABS CBN compund.Anglaki kasing ng offer nila-salarywise.Jo, a friend, who used to be working at Amber, encouraged me na magapply, she told me na maraming perks as compared to amber.I asked permission from TC Jello and I even consulted some friends if this is the right thing to do pero most of them encouraged me not to resign.Nanghihinayang sila dahil it is just a matter of time para maging team captain ako.At that time marami kasing issues na kailangan kong ideal, yung salary namin, yung health ko,yung college degree ko at marami pang iba kaya medyo napagisipan ko na magresign.Inisip ko lahat ng sinabi ng mga kaibigan ko na maganda kahit napagisip isip ko na wag na munang magresign.Mas marami 'yung positive kesa sa negative.

---

I realized nung napunta ako sa escalation team, parang mas dumami mga friends ko hehe.May mga agents kasi na nagpapaesacalate na natatandaan 'yung name ko kasi hindi sila nahihirapang magpaescalate sa'kin.Yung ibang hindi ako pinapansin dati sa floor,ngayon kilala na nila ako.Some of them would even thanked me for taking their call and pacifying their difficult customer.Parang pakunswelo na lang siguro yun, sa hirap ng ginagawa namin at least kahit paano may ibang nakakaappreciate.

---

Last Saturday we went to san Pedro Laguna with some friends from Amber.Actually nakigulo lang ako dun, it was Jerick's bday celebration.Jerick is a teammate of my bestfriend Sarah.Ayun inuman tapos kuwentuhan galore.Then we went to a lake na malapit dun sa place.Umuulan ulan pa nun at maputik ang daan pero its all worth it dahil maganda 'yung view.Kodakan.I hope I can post some of our pics here.Then the day after, naganak naman ako sa binyag ng pamangkin ko si Nicole.Actually ang pinuntahan ko lang dun is yung reception which was held sa kamay kainan.Eat all you can ito.masarap 'yung food.Tatlong beses lang naman akong bumalik sa buffet table, lamon ito!Aayain ko nga sila Sarah na kumain dun once since may Kamay Kainan naman sa baba ng Market.After nung chibogan sa kamay kainan, sinamahan ko sa Mother sa Divisoria, we did a little shopping para sa mga gamit sa bahay, pangkurtina, pangcover ng sofa at siyempre mga damit na mura pero okay naman.I also bought myself Japeks na shoes hehe for 450bucks.wala lang share ko lang.

---

Kanina nakisabay na naman ako sa pagbuhos ng malakas na ulan.Bigla na lang ako naiyak habang nakahiga ako kanina pagdating galing sa work.Nagdadrama, nakatingin lang sa kisame.Paano, nagpapakabitter na naman.Iniisip yung nangyari kagabi...

Nakasabay ko si Ex sa MRT papasok sa work.Nung una hindi niya ko namukhaan dahil mahaba na buhok ko ngayon.Tapos ako na 'yung lumapit sa kanya.Nagkakuwentuhan kami sa MRT.Sabi niya sa Etelecare,(call center) na siya nagwowork.Matagal ko rin siyang hindi nakita, huli kaming nagkita isang taon na ang nakakaraan, sa MRT rin.Sabi niya pa, marami daw akong kasalanan sa kanya.At ako pa ang maraming kasalanan?Bakit niya ko binabaligtad?At nagkasumbatan na kami tungkol sa nangyari sa amin dati.Sinabi ko na kalimutan na natin yun.Pagkatapos nung tinanong ko siya kung committed siya ngayon, pinilit niyang ipakita sa akin yung picture ng buddy niya.Kahit pa sinabi kong "hindi ako interesadong makita siya, tinatanong ko lang kung committed ka?."Bago siya bumaba sa Buendia station, kinuha niya yung cellphone no. ko.Sinabi ko rin sa kanya bago siya bumaba na sana this will be the last time na makikita ko siya.Dahil akala niya nagjojoke lang ako sinabi ko na seryoso ako.Tumawa lang ang gago.

Angpait ko hehe.=)

Bloopers from Work =)

What a stressful week!Thank God even under pressure, I realized pwede pa pala akong tumawa.=)mabuti na lang,While emptying my email Inbox,I chanced upon this old email, the email contains few of the bloopers /call center boo boos from our account.Kilala ko kasi 'yung ibang sumablay sa mga calls na sinama sa email.ahehehe.FYI, our account is a electric utility provider in Texas, we provide customer service, billing and registry achuchuchers .Share ko lang.

CCA: Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that Sir. (A for empathy) Let me pull up the account, one moment, please. After pulling up the account…

Customer: I'm sorry?

Customer: When do I get the duplicate bill, I still haven’t received it?
CCA: When did you called?
Customer: Yesterday?
CCA: Maybe you should wait for 3 days. Or 2 more!

(Classic, hindi na kelangan ng comment dito!)


CCA: I'm sorry Ma'am I can bear-ly hear you, are you using a mobile phone? I mean can you hear that sparking thingie?

(Bear-y interesting choice of words!)


Customer: Pay location.
CCA: City?
Customer: Caldwell
CCA: There's no location in the city.

(Koya, koya! Meron ka ba ngayon?)


CCA: There will be a $50 trip call. I'm going to send a refort on that.

(Faki-bilisan kase sayang ang $50 trip call!)


Customer: I'd like to see if you've received my payment of $330; I paid it at Ace Cash today.
CCA: I do see here!

(How does it look?)

Customer:My account no. is payb hu tri six hu...(customer is a Chinese)
CCA:(afraid to be dinged for attentive listening)
That is payb hu tri six hu...
Customer:Yes
(haha...nagkaintindihan sila.panalo ka sa QA ning)

Remembering Teletech

I was looking into the archives of my blogsite when I read on one of my entries that it was a year ago when I signed a contract for Teletech as a Tech Support Rep for Accenture/SBC yahoo DSL.I had a lot of fun during the training.It was a difficult training I can say.Luckily I passed the American Accent class as well as the product training and was certified as a Tech Support Rep after two months.However I only lasted on the floor for about two weeks since I felt that it was not the job that I want to do.The account is really technical and require a lot of problem solving skills which I dont think I have hehe-well just look at the job title, it is so technical.Hindi kinaya ng utak ko.That one of the lowest points of my life.I thought it will be the last call center I will be working in.But after a month of being a bum, I finally got a job - still in a call center, the call center where I am working now, Ambergris.

I so miss all my friends in Teletech especially my batchmates from Wave 7.0, it was so fun working with them. Although mahirap 'yung account, I know because I have friends around, I was motivated to do my best.I remember before ako umalis, it was Ed and Cindy who encouraged me not to leave and sobrang sarap ng feeling that there are friends who care and will support you all the way kahit ano pang mangyari.

Wave 7.0 Aina's Class:Cindy, Ed, Xty,She, Cora, Tin.Rico,Bob, daddy edz and Joseph - I know you will not be able to read my blog but I just wanna tell you that I miss you guys.I hope I can see you one of these days.:)Sana you still remember me.Some of you guys nakakachat ko pa sa YM like Ed, Cindy and She, some are on my friendster but most of you,wala na kong balita. I hope you guys are doing well sa mga career nyo.:)

So kaunting reminiscing lang po hehe:

This is from Ed's photo Album in Friendster.:

http://edbagnes.blogs.friendster.com/photos/offisina/

One of the best experiences i had working, was being with you guys! =)

PIER 1 ,BUENDIA

An after shift gimik in Pier 1, hindi na po ako nagyoyosi ngayon last year pa po yan!=) defensive.hehe

SERIOUS PEOPLE AT WORK???

That's what you think! We were busy picking out what we want out of the most coveted "chocolate stash" as price for winning in the WAVE 7.0 ACE Competition. We were leading but an unfortunate lapse of judgement and familiarity with names gave all our efforts away! Sorry guys! Ha ha ha!

CHIT CHAT

Who would have guessed i'll be good friends with one of these people?! And guess who! Hmmm... not irate, always just like that! Ha ha ha!I miss you She

PARTING TIME

Dematisse, Malate

This was the last time my ACE batchmates and I were able to go out together...I so miss them=(

The good, the bad and the ugly faces of customer service

Before I started my shift last Monday, I went to market market food court,our office by the way is located inside the mall. I usually buy food before going on my shift and that particular night I am really in a hurry since shift starts by 830, so I don't have the luxury to choose the food stall or food chain.There are a lot in the place so I just settled for the nearest one.So there I was in the food court ,I was looking at the foods displayed in front of one stall,when a store crew approached me:

Crew:Sir mura po ito , 69php with one fried rice, two viands,2 shanghai and a drink.

Me:Ayt.I'll have lechon kawali and tuna steak.That is for take out.

(Then here's the part that made me extremely mad. After putting all the food in container,passing my orders to the cashier to punch the items, she turned to me and said:)

Crew:Sir 'pag take out po pala may bayad 'yung plastic spoon and fork,styro and 'yung drinks po walang takip unless ipaupgrade nyo po.Additional php 15 for upgrade.

Me:What?Dapat free of charge yun.May mga customers kayo na nagpapatake out di ba?

(If you can see on my face that I am really mad but at the same time I was so concious of my time left since I dont wanna be late.I grab the plastic bag, paid the bill but before I left I let this girl know how bitch I can sometimes be.)

Me:Alam mo, hindi na ako uulit sa inyo.I will even tell my friends not to eat in this place.sasabihin ko that you're charging extra for take out.Then I smiled.

Crew:Sir sorry po pasensia na po...hindi ko na lang po kayo ichacharge sa styro.

Me:Thank you pero nawalan na kayo ng customer at potential customers.

Is that customer service?False advertisement pa.They just put plain rice tapos 69 php but additional charges for take out?That's a bull.And their food is not even good.The name of that damn food stall is Chin's, it's in food choices of Market,just in case you wanted to know.

---

I mentioned on my previous post that I'll start to take in "toxic calls" by Monday.To my surprise,when I log in Monday night, the calls that I have been receiving were still regular calls (e.g.billing,service inquiry, outages etc).When I asked a co-escalation agent,I was told that I am not yet on the escalation queue.I don't know if I should feel happy about it (I guess), so I just proceed with what I am doing.Then came one irate caller.And as they say,when karma strikes, it will hit you big time.Remember what happened to me before my shift.Yeah what comes around goes around.

Caller:I don't think you can't help me about this.I have talked to nine people this morning and they didn't help me but just messed up my account.(most of the time customers exaggerate the number of times they called)

Me:I apologize for what happened to you.If you will give me your concern I will be more than happy to assist you.(Customer vent out anger.Yada.Yada.Yada.She didn't allow me to speak so I just listen.Then I talked.)

Me:Ma'am this is what we will do about this...(customer interrupted)

Caller:That's a bull...I know you will not be able to help me...Let me speak to someone else.

Me:(empathy statements galore)I understand your frustration,I am here to help u ayt?Since this will be blah blah blah...

(I was not yet finished because customer interrupted me again )

Caller:I was right when I thought that you couldn't help me.Give me your Supervisor!!@! shouting...*cuss words* followed

(I told myself,patience is such a virtue.I am about to deliver the abuse spiel we use for customers who cuss agent but then I really wanted to pacify this bitch so I listen.However were just going in on circles so I was really pissed off.Still I listen.And finally when I can no longer stand her blahs, I finally speak out - forget the punctuation marks, Art.This bitch deserves a lesson.)

Me:The problem with you Ma'am is that you don't listen.We will not resolve this issue if you keep on interrupting.I know what to do with your account.I have your information in front of me but you never gave me the chance to talk.And if only you have given me the chance to tell you what we should do then the issue should have been resolved now.I beg you to listen!

(Yes I said that without pausing that's the tendency when I get really really mad.The customer shut up.)

Me:(then I said again).Listen.We will be waiving this fee and this fee (suddenly the customer transform from a hostile to a happy customer).How about that ma'am?

Caller:Art,(for the first time she called me by my first name)I am really sorry for shouting at you and for being so mean...It's just...I apologize..Honey I hope u didn't take that personally.It's your company not you...

Me:(Yeah right.Apologize?Lumuhod ka, halikan mo ang mga paa ko!Hayup.)I understand that Ma'am...(And don't call me honey.Hindi ako pumapatol sa mga gurang.Nakarinig ka lang ng waivers nagpasweet ka na.)

And the call ended happily ever after.It's not actually a difficult call, she must be having her monthly period when she called.More of these calls will come starting Thursday.My restday falls on Tueday and Wednesday,so I will start to handle sup calls on Thursday.I have been reading modules and studying some accounts since Monday.I have to make myself ready since for peter sake it no easy job,you have to deal with racist and hostile customer shouting, cussing, cursing words you never heard your whole life.Bang.I am not used to this but I have to.Well,gone are the petiks days,say hello to irate callers.

---

Since we're talking about customer service let me tell yeah what a good customer service is.Since today is my restday and I want to relax,I went to Malolos Spa this afternoon and had a whole body massage plus an hour of sauna bath.Would you believe its only 300 bucks, with 1free ice tea, which I even ask for extra , a nice place and friendly masseuse and staff.They even have a room where you can chill out to a good music and a cable TV. That was my second time in place, and they never failed to give me excellent customer service in the real sense of the word.So I gave a tip.And that's because I was satisfied.I will even tell my friends to visit the place.

---

I have been bothered by my cellphone,I thinks it's busted already.All I can see is Nokia welcome name everytime I put it on.It doesn't go thru the applications.After texting Ferdie about the free polytones links he sent me,I turned off my phone since it was hanging and prior to that I sent mulitiple messages to some friends.I don't know what the culprit is, the paranoid me thinks it was the picture messages that a stalker is sending me that I mistakenly save to my phone's memory.I hope it's not a virus, cellphone viruses have been spreading already like a common flu but hell please spare my phone.It's a good thing I have an extra phone but I can't afford to lose the other one,since I keep most of my friends no on the phone's memory not on the sim's.Plus the pictures.and the mushy messages.And also I am so allergic to wasting money just to fix this, wish I took a technical course on cp troubleshooting.darn.

---

Tomorrow I will accompany my mother to Divisoria, we'll be buying fabrics for the cover of our sofa.I hope I will not be tempt to buy polo and pants, there's one store I know at the cluster mall that sell cheap but nice men's apparel.I belive they imported them from Hongkong and Thailand.Cheap but quality goods.I haven't been to Divine (Divisoria), this is how a gay friend call it hehe (pasosyal) for quite a long time so I am excited for tomorrow. And since already 4am, I need to say bye bye for now.Till next post.have to sleep.=)

It's time to shine?!

I will start taking in escalated calls by Monday.I was appointed by my team captain to be included in the escalation team.Lucky me.hehe.Although I am really hesitant about taking this position,(if you have read my previous post, I enumerated the reasons why I dont want to be promoted as EA), I finally said yes,I'll take the post, kahit pa sapilitan because TC told me it is the right thing to do.He said that if I want to be promoted to a higher position, say Team Captain or QA analyst, I have to be in the escalation team first.One at a time,he said.He gave some encouraging words ,that left me thinking and contemplating since it has something to do with my future.Future daw oh?I know TC wants the best for me.I am so happy because he believes in my capabilities.

There are five of us who were promoted as EA and there are about more than a hundred agents in the floor.So it is really flattering if you have been chosen to do the job of a supervisor.It is a huge responsibility so I really have to be good in what I am doing.Pacifying irate customers and taking in calls that can't be handled by regular agents is no easy job.This is really one challenging position, so I feel excited of facing the pressure and demands of the job but at the same time,I can't help but feel nervous about it.

With Meg

"Maawa kayo sa mga bulag,please..."

I starting to love my schedule, although my restday is on weekdays, it's fine since saturday and sunday are petiks days, meaning call volume is low.You can even sleep during the shift or finish a couple of chapters of your favorite book.And that's what I am doing, I am sleeping during shift hehe, (look,ayan ang ebidensiya sa taas, nakashades pa,angliwanag kasi sa floor)bad me and also I am reading Prisoner of Azkaban.Yes I am still on Book 3 of Harry Potter series.Well,I have to go back on reading books since I feel like my brain cells are no longer working.hehe.But the not so good thing about working on weekends, is I will not be able to watch PPS ,Search for SIAM and some good TV programs.Anyone who has catched PPS and SIAM this week?any updates?

---

I will no longer be on my team Tomahawks.I will surely miss my team mates.But as they say, changes are inevitable, and I will still see them anyway, so there's no reason to be sad.Besides most of my former team mates are on the escalation team so it will just be a tad adjustments on my part since I already know most of them.

---

Nothing interesting stuff happenned this weekend.Same boring life.Today is a Sunday and I have a shift later.Just finished watching kiddie cartoon The Incredibles on DVD.I also watched The Buzz for showbiz chickas.updated na ko hehe.

---

So there.I have to brace myself.Tomorrow will be one big day for me.So help me God.

SIAM AND PPS UPDATES

I am self-confessed reality TV and local talent search freak.But since weekend is the only available time I have to watch TV so can only see a few local TV programs of this type that Ireally like.Two of those programs are talent search shows from the two giant networks.The first one is Search for Star in a Million and the other one is Pinoy Pop Superstar.And for those of you who also like these shows, here are the chicka / updates.

PINOY POP SUPERSTAR SEASON TWO

The two grand finalists for season two are Harry and Gerald Santos.Long lost brothers daw ang dalawa, but they are not related.Here is an article I got from a thread in article from PEX

Harry and Gerald Santos

This isn’t a battle between blood relatives. This is strictly a singing competition. But with two beguiling Santoses in the early slate of Pinoy Pop Superstar’s grand contenders, we can’t help but explore the difference between the two!

Gerald Santos and Harry Santos are two unrelated teens from different worlds brought together by their singing prowess. They bring their unique qualities to the 2nd season of Pinoy Pop Superstar. Harry, 16 is becoming a ladies man this early thanks to his captivating Josh Groban vocal flair while Gerald, 15, has impressed audiences with an unprecedented score of 99% in the defending rounds of previous episodes.

These teenage boys have striking differences which set them apart from each other but at the same time, pull them closer to the appreciative hearts of the listening crowd. Harry is from a well-off family, while Gerald grew up in a lower income community. Harry is in his college, while Gerald is in his 3rd year in high school. Harry infatuates on young Nadine Samonte, while Gerald dreams of meeting working mom, Carmina Villaroel. And when asked what they would do with the Php1 million, they gave different views. Harry says he’ll buy a house where he and his family can stay together, while for Gerald, depositing the money first in the bank would be ideal so that in case he loses the singing contest, he’ll still have cash to spend on rainy days.

Although having different backgrounds, these two aspiring singers share some similarities as well. Harry and Gerald’s love for singing were inspired by the death of their loved ones. It was when Harry’s beloved grandmother died that his family heard his powerful voice. Gerald, on the other hand, couldn’t stop thinking of his uncle who passed away too. It’s undeniable that they are highly attached to their families and relatives. It’s also no longer surprising that both consider building a career in the musical world. Harry says “Gusto kong magkaroon ng experience and mag-enjoy hangga’t kaya ko pang kumanta.” And Gerald? “Maraming nagsasabing maganda boses ko and gusto ko rin po talaga [kumanta].”

Harry Santos and Gerald Santos are the first two grand contenders of GMA 7’s weekend show, Pinoy Pop Superstar Season 2. They will compete in next year’s grand showdown. Watch the country’s fresh singing talents every Saturday, after ’Wag Kukurap.

Para sa'kin 'yung range ng voice ni harry and Gerald ay para sa mga ballad at pop songs.Although magaling talaga at powerful ang voice ni Harry harry especially pag mga Josh Groban songs ang kanta niya,kayang kaya niya.Si Gerald naman, malufet din, and everytime na kumakanta siya, parang I'm watching a drama,I see a child acting on stage without effort pero mageemphatize ka sa character.Ganun siya kaeffective pag nagdeliver ng song.'Yung tipong parang umaarte siya at umiiyak pero hindi naman.If you guys watch this saturday's episode there is a new major contender and his name is Dan.Personally, I think magaling din tong Dan especially his rendition of Eric Clapton's change the world.Medyo husky 'yung voice nya pero carry niya 'yung pagdeliver ng pagiging soul nung kanta.And he has a different style sa pagpeperform.Sobrang taas ng energy level niya last saturday kaya naging mahigpit ang laban nung wildcard round.Nakipagpustahan pa ko sa nanay ko na bago ang magigiging champion.Nagkaroon tuloy ako ng LSS sa song ni Eric Clapton.hehe

Pull one down for you,

Mga liham ng nilihim na pag-ibig

Kuwarto

by Sugarfree

Naglilinis ako ng aking kuwarto

Na punong-puno ng gamit at damit

Mga bagay na hindi ko na kailangan

Nakaraan hindi na puwedeng pagpaliban

Mga liham ng nilihim kong pag-ibig

At litrato ng kahapong maligalig

Dahan-dahan kong inipon

Ngunit ngayon kailangan ng itapon

Di ko na kayang mabuhay sa kahapon

Kaya mula ngayon, mula ngayon....

Ang jacket mong nabubulok sa sulok

Na inaalikabok na sa lungkot

May panyong ilang ulit nang niluhaan

Isang patak sa bawat beses na tayo'y nasaktan

Di ko na kayang mabuhay sa kahapon

Kaya mula ngayon, mula ngayon...

Alaala ng lumuluhang kahapon

Dahan-dahan ko na ring kinakahon

Natagpuan ko na ang tunay kong ligaya

Lumabas ako ng kuwarto't naroon siya

Magpapaalam na sa iyo ang aking kuwarto

Magpapaalam na sa iyo ang aking kuwarto

Magpapaalam na sa iyo ang aking kuwarto

Magpapaalam na sa iyo ang aking kuwarto

Magpapaalam na sa iyo...

Magpapaalam na sa iyo...

Magpapaalam na sa iyo...

Magpapaalam na sa iyo...

I spent the entire Sunday cleaning my room. Angsarap ng feeling na maaliwalas ang paligid mo. Ito talaga 'yung pangtanggal ko ng stress, pag nakita kong maayos at malinis ang kuwarto ko.Pero I am not yet completely done,sana nga lang may incinerator kami dito sa bahay,angdami ko kasing mga basurang kailangang sunugin dito.Matagal-tagal rin kasi akong naggeneral cleaning, kaya pinilit kong irecall 'yung 5s na tinuro nung college-Sort, systematize,sanitize,standardize,self-discipline.Oo may subject kami nung college tungkol sa pagiging organize (Quality concious,habits and processes) at uno ko dun sa subject na 'yun hehe.

I am no obssessive-compulsive pero I am the the type of person na gusto ng maraming space.Kaya mapagtapon ako ng basura.At kulang ang isang buong araw sa paglilinis ng kuwarto ko kaya itutuloy ko na lang ito tomorrow or the next day since for this week, my off will be on tuesday and wednesday.

---

Natutuwa rin ako kapag naglilinis ako at may mga bagay akongdi sinasadya ay nakukuha at nadidiskubre.Minsan mga bills and coins na nakaipit kung saan saan.Katulad kanina I found my old wallet na may mga 10 peso bills.Kahit mga small bills lang ito, pag pinagsama sama mo, voila, may pambili na ko ng internet cardo kaya'y isang frap sa Star Bucks.May mga damit na nakatambak lang pala na sobrang tagal mo na hinahanap.Mga gamit na tinatago mo dahil sa sentimental value nito kahit hindi na magagamit pero kapag nakita mo bigla na lang may mga tao at mga bagay kang kang maaalala.

---

I also chanced upon compilation of love letters ng sister ko.The letters are from her suitors when she was still in college,mga late eighties to early nineties yung dates sa letters,kung kailan hindi pa uso ang email at text messaging.Nakasulat pa ang mga ito sa mga floral at scented na stationeries.Some letters are really cheezy and funny,here are some parts from those letters na naaliw akong basahin.

"I know that you have been hurt by a man (natural alangan namang woman hindi naman tibo sis ko) who did not deserve any part of your life but let me change it and so you'll know that my love is true". yeah right.

"When I hide this feelings, it hurts me a lot, like the song said, it would take a strong strong man to ever let you go, but I am not strong enough to let you go so I am telling you that you are very important to me. Because I love you."Strong man ka jan.

"Do you believe at the saying love at first sight ?I asked you that question because the first time I saw you I fell in love with you.Can you keep it a secret?Because if nobody knows that I am making ligaw with you no one would interfere."making ligaw huh like you're some kind of conio huh!?

"Alam mo ba na there are changes in my studies, lahat ng grades ko nagimproved, pati recitation at lahat ng ito ay dahil sa aking one and only at nagiisang ikaw."ahehe, nagiisang one ang only.

Para tuloy akong may sayad dahil tawa ako ng tawa habang binabasa ko ang mga sulat na to.Naalala ko rin nung grade school,mahilig din ako magsulat nito at 'yung iba kinokopya ko sa mga letters galing sa suitor ng mga sisters ko.Wala akong pakialam kahit wrong grammar pa ito.Basta matuwa lang yung bibigyan ko, okay na ko.Naaalala ko,kahit mukha pang kinalahig ng manok 'yung sulat ko,'ung thought na nagexert ako ng effort at kahit corny o baduy man 'yung sinasabi ko ay napangiti ko yung pinagbigyan ko, masaya na ko dun.Sa panahon ngayon na sobrang advance na ng technology, we have email messaging, internet and cellphones, nakakamiss rin yung mga traditional love letters,na mas personalized,pinagpaguran at binuhusan ng pagmamamahal.=)

Pasiyam

It's already my ninth month sa call center na pinagtatrabahuhan ko.Iilang beses ko na ring naisip na magresign dahil inassess ko ang sarili ko kung ano na ba ang naaccomplish ko sa loob ng siyam na buwan na itoMinsan nawawalan ako ng gana dahil narerealized ko na parang walang nabago.

Maganda naman daw ang performance at productivity scores ko sabi ni team captain .In fact,ilang beses na rin akong inalok na magescalation agent,pero tinatanggihan ko.Supervisory ang responsibilities ng escalation agent,pero hindi ko pa rin siya maituturing na promotion.At maraming dahilan kung bakit tinatanggihan ko ito.One,ang salary ay kapareho lang ng sa agent.Two,some escalation agents ay naappoint lang talaga at hindi based sa performance or sa stats.Although some of them ay talagang magagaling pero 'yung iba questionable talaga.Pangatlo, maraming issues sa escalation team at ayokong dumami ang kaaway ko dahil dito.Kung pagagandahin ng company namin ang image ng escalation agents,with added benefits and all, baka magbago isip ko.

One of my batchmates was promoted as OIC,its actually a position next to being a team captain.Good for him,I am happy for him .Pero napansin ko na marami ang nagtaas ng kilay.Marami ang naguluhan kung paano sila nagaappoint ng OIC.Paguwapuhan na nga lang ba ang laban?Although, magaling naman itong si "Atenista guy" pero hindi namin nafeel ang presence niya.In fact marami sa mga ahead sa batch namin ang naungusan niya.Biglang nagkaroon ng politika sa opisina, kaya nadismaya ko.Hindi ito inggit o anuman pero sumampal sa mukha ko na may palakasang nagaganap.Sa ngayon, ang motivation ko na lang talaga sa trabaho eh yung mga kaibigan ko.

Mabilis lang ang siyam na buwan at kung sakaling magiging agent pa rin ako sa susunod na siyam na buwan ay okay lang hanggang masaya pa ko sa ginagawa ko.

Teka nga ano daw?

Anglufet mo Diesel, talagang napansin mo talaga yung mga lyrics ng song na to.repost ko lang po ah.These are song lyrics that will make you say "teka nga ,ano daw?"

I just finished watching on DVD Korean movies Windstruck and My Crazy Love.Maganda sila pareho,although for me the best pa rin 'yung My Sassy Girl.Tapos papahiramin pa ko ni Shandy ng Il Mare,I think 'yung bida dito is yung bida rin sa MSG.naikuwento ko kasi sa kanya that I am starting to appreciate Korean films.Eh mahilig din pala siya don.So humiram agad ako, to think na sa training lang kami nagkakilala.Kapal.hehe.Pero trade naman eh hindi niya pa kasi mapanood yung Windstruck.

Mukhang maganda 'yung bagong reality show ng Channel 2,Big Brothers.It's a show about a group of people na magistay sa isang bahay tapos, kukunan ng camera lahat ng ginagawa nila.Is it true na may original version nito sa US ay kinukunan talaga pati yung nagsesex?Good luck sa MTRCB.Sana I will be able to catch one of their episodes.

A sassy review

Marami nang nagsulputan na Koreanovela sa TV pero dahil primetime sila pinapalabas at masyado na silang marami, nawalan na ko ng interes kaya't hindi ko nasubaybayan ang kahit isa sa kanila.

Dahil kay Ferdie, he was a classmate in Highschool na sobrang dami ng collection ng Korean movie and tv flicks,at kabisado yatang lahat ng character ng mga Koreanovelas pati na rin mga soap sa Arirang channel, kaya nacurious ako tuloy bigla kung ano meron sa kanila.At sinimulan ko ito sa pagbili ng isang kopya ng DVD na ang title ay My Sassy Girl. And I must say watching this movie is a good start for someone like me who wanted to appreciate Korean films and culture.

Sa dami ng kailangan kong gawin,so far My Sassy Girl pa lang ang napapanood ko sa mga binili kong DVDs sa Quiapo. It is a romantic comedy,a feel good movie to watch kung gusto magpakamushy and manood ng movie na light lang pero maaaliw ka talaga.Although slapstick yung style of comedy, natuwa pa rin ako sa mga Korean characters at sa plot nito.Aliw siya kahit kailangan tumutok ako sa TV para basahin yung English subtitle.

I know marami na ang nakapanood sa inyo nito ,medyo luma na kasi siya and you must be really tired of hearing reviews about the movie.pero sorry wala kayong magagawa dahil kinacareer ko na rin ang pagiging film critic hehe.Kung ayaw nyo di wag kayo magbasa.Joke.

Nabasa ko na pinalabas ito noon pang 2001 at talaga namang humatak ito sa takilya sa South korea.Ang mga bidang artista ay ang Korean pop singer Cha Tae-hyun opposite Jun Ji-hyun .It had become the second-highest grossing film for 2001 and had earned a place as the highest grossing Korean comedy in the country's box office history.taray pala ng movie na ito.
Sa mga hindi pa nakakapanood heto uli ang movie review mula sa link na ito: www.mediacircus.net/mysassygirl.html



"My Sassy Girl" is based on an on-line serial written by Kim Ho-sik that detailed his relationship with his off-the-wall college girlfriend. This was eventually compiled into a best-selling book and caught the attention of director Kwak Jae-young, who wrote the script for the film. The story kicks off with college student Kyun-woo (Korean pop singer Cha Tae-hyun, in his feature film debut) crossing paths with a drunk girl (Jun Ji-hyun of "Il Mare") on a late-night subway. Just before she passes out, the girl looks at Kyun-woo and calls him 'honey'. The other passengers, assuming him to be the hapless girl's boyfriend, demand that Kyun-woo look after her. After carrying her on his back for what seems to be miles, Kyun-woo drops the girl off at a motel. But instead of leaving her and getting on his way, Kyun-woo finds himself intrigued by the nameless girl and vows to do whatever he can to heal her sorrow.
Unfortunately, he gets far more than he bargained as he becomes wrapped around the finger of this strange girl, whose dramatic mood swings are outmatched only by her penchant for sociopathic behavior. When they dine out and Kyung-woo orders anything but coffee, she barks her mantra "Do you wanna die?" and then promptly changes his order to coffee. When her feet begin aching from walking, she forces Kyung-woo to switch his comfortable running shoes for her high heels. And being a budding screenwriter, she demands that Kyung-woo read her wacky treatments, or else face an ass kicking. However, despite these crazy antics (not to mention landing in jail a few times), Kyun-woo finds himself hopelessly hooked on this 'sassy girl'. And though the girl seems to relish in humiliating and belittling those around her, it becomes clear that underneath the brash exterior is a wounded soul who holds a genuine affection for Kyun-woo.

This cleverly scripted comedy covers a lot of territory in its two-hour running time, containing enough material for at least two movies. The film's first half (a fact that is irreverently highlighted with a big bold pastel-colored title) deals with Kyung-woo's initial misadventures with the 'sassy girl' and the absurdity he faces in her company. In addition to the obvious comic set-pieces revolving around the girl's anti-social tendencies, Kwak has some fun visualizing her female-centered film treatments, such as "Terminator Demolitionist", featuring a female warrior from the future gunning down bad guys à la "The Matrix". Another great gag has Kyung-woo being instructed to drop off her treatment at Shin Cine (the production company behind "My Sassy Girl") and making the suggestion that Han Suk-yu and Shim Eun-ha be cast in the lead roles (for the uninitiated, they are two top Korean box office draws who appeared together in "Christmas in August" and "Tell Me Something").

However, as the film moves into its second half (declared with more pastel-colored lettering) and even overtime (check), the bottled-up emotions and vulnerable side of the 'sassy girl' start to reveal themselves, and the film moves into more melodramatic territory, reflecting the growing maturity of the two lead characters. The film even takes a riff from the ever-popular 'love across time' genre (which includes "Ditto", "Failan", and "Il Mare") as the would-be lovers spend some time apart and are reunited by an unexpected and clever plot twist. Despite the more serious mood of this latter half, Kwak manages to avoid the melancholic overkill that permeates the typical Korean romance, while still providing a good enough emotional footing for the story.

If there is one really good reason to watch "My Sassy Girl", it would have to be Jun Ji-hyun's turn as the film's unnamed heroine. From her unforgettable first appearance as a wasted commuter, to her rambunctious bullying of Kyun-woo, to the heartbreak she wears on her sleeve, Jun displays an unparalleled level of enthusiasm and dramatic range in portraying a young woman whose domineering exterior is but a smokescreen for her own vulnerability-- it is almost difficult to believe that this same actress who played the quiet and introspective Kim Eun-ju in "Il Mare". As her opposite, the likable Cha Tae-hyun is the perfect comic foil/underdog for Jun's bundle of untamed energy, and his 'constipated' facial expression, when faced with one of her 'outbursts', is priceless.

Like the best Korean films, "My Sassy Girl" is a genre-bending exercise that throws in elements of the teen comedy, the traditional melodramatic romance, and even some genre parody and blends them into a unique cinematic experience that defies categorization. The film's original Korean title, Yeopgi, which means 'novelty-seeking', is in reference to the youth craze that was started by Kim Ho-sik's original Internet postings about his eccentric girlfriend. Though the English title for this film doesn't mean quite the same thing, it certainly does tell you what to expect.

Totoo, matalino ang pagkakasulat ng iskrip ng pelikulang ito.Alam ng sumulat kung paano kukunin ang kiliti at simpatiya ng mga manonood.Nagustuhan ko rin yung bahagi kung saan pinabasa ni Jun Ji-hyun yung script na ginawa niya kay Cha Tae-hyun ala Matrix at siyempre yung mushy part kung saan bumalik yung guy sa place after two years na suppose to be ay magkikita sila 'nung bidang babae.Nakakalungkot 'yung laman ng sulat Jun Ji-hyun.Natuwa ako sa twist nung kuwento.Stop muna ako.Ayokong maging kill joy dito.Suspense.Manood na lang kayo para makita nyo yung sinasabi ko.

At punta na kayo ng Quiapo at hanapin ang sassy girl.Support piracy.nyahahaha.bad.Oist Ferdie pahiram naman ako ng mga collection mo ng koreanovelas.Yun lang bottomline dito eh.hahaha.=)
