Rambling Thoughts on my Restday

At last, after 6 loooong days, finally it's my DAY OFF! Grabe, halos matuyuan na ako ng energy sa pagpasok ng 6 days straight. I know, it's not that hard. There are even some who never really had the chance to get a day off even for a day...kaso, I'm not used to that scenario. I prefer have 2 staggered day offs in a week thank two day offs na magkasunod nga but 6 days straight naman. I'm just so happy that besides my 2 restdays, nag leave din ako ng Saturday...so I'll have all the time to check on all of my blogs.

Anyways, I was also had the chance to see PDA (Pinoy Dream Academy) and I saw the episode in which Randy Santiago along with Gino Padilla and Louie Herredia visited the scholars and had a quick voice lesson with them. I was shocked to see Poy, the big girl with big voice. Nakahabol pala siyang makapasok sa loob, actually I was happy. She deserves it! Napanood ko yung unang unang episode ng PDA and I know she's one for the 4 sa waiting list. I even remember nung day na sasabihin na kung sino yung matatanggal and natawag sya...yung katabi niya, which is Jet (the bumbay) doe'snt even console her. Ang yabang nga ng dating ni Jet nun eh, kaso I already spent my precious load for Jet that time kasi akala ko he is not mayabang or hambog. This not a hate post ha, it's just that I am really dissappointed with him... I thought wala syang "ere" and madali syang makasama but hindi pala. He even quit dahil lang namimiss nya yung family nya and iniisip nya kung may kinakain yung mag-anak nya - which is come to think of it, kaya nga dapat mas magstay ka sa loob ng academy is for you to provide food and shelter to your family eh. Hayyy...iba na talaga ang utak ng mga tao ngayon. Why am i so affected by Jet's action? Nah, I'm not. It's just so happen that I does have a friend before na kalahi nya (hahahah!) na feeling ko kaugali nya rin. I thought before that I am already leading him to the light, and yet...nadisappoint nya lang me. Haaaay...It's a good thing I forced myself not to love him, dahil kung nagkataon - kawawa lang ako (me hatred?). AHahahah, emotera talaga. Pinagbuntunan pa si Jet ng PDA eh me hidden agenda naman pala. Ganun talaga.

Anyways, I'm working on another blog and I'm so happy na overwhelming yung response from the readers. Will tell you more about it pag maayos na sya talaga. Also, nawala na naman yung green bars sa toolbar ko, I again has been slapped by master G pero ok lang. Mashakit, pero life must go on...sana lang yung mga opps ko hindi mabawasan please... To my dear readers, thanks for always visiting my site. Good day!

Award, Award!

thanks IdealPinkRose for the award....hehehe. I really appreciate it.

A Lesson for Every Salaried Employee

We had our CEA session today - It's a one hour audit to a particular call - we rate the way the tech assisted his caller and the overall call handling . It's not a regular barging on calls because we have clients from the US listening to every conversation we have on the room. One wrong move and the tech support person who is being audited could lose his job. The call was great (actually I know the guy personally) and I have high praises on him as he converse really well (he has this "twang") and the call was really pleasant. He was able to resolve the issue and was very professional... but although it was a resolved case, the client was not very happy. He said that the tech should've done this...he should've done that. He should've said this and that... which is true. He even gave him a negative rate because of all the flaws he've noticed on the actual call. In a perfect world, those things should've been done - but we are not infallible. I don't know but maybe if you own a business...you want and you expect everything to be perfect. That's reality of life...in business there is no room for less than perfect service.

I remember the email I received from one of my batchmates in College. At the end of the story, especially if you are working for someone else... maiisip mo, "hmmm...oo nga no, parang ako yung aso..."

A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he sees a dog
coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back
again. So, he goes over to the dog and notices it has a note in its mouth.
He takes the note and it reads "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of
lamb,please". The dog has money in its mouth, as well. The butcher looks
inside and, lo and behold, there is a ten dollar note there. So he takes the money
and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth. The
butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decides to
shut the shop and follow the dog. So off he goes. The dog is walking down
the street, when it comes to a level crossing; the dog puts down the bag,
jumps up and presses the button. Then it waits patiently, bag in mouth, for
the lights to turn. They do, and it walks across the road, with the butcher
following him all the way. The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts
looking at the timetable. The butcher is in awe as the dog s
tops a bus by pulling its left leg up and gets in it. The butcher follows
the dog into the bus. The dog then shows a ticket which is tied to its belt
to the bus conductor. The butcher is nearly fainting at this sight, so are
the other passengers in the bus.

The dog then sits near the driver's seat looking outside waiting for the
bus stop to come. As soon as the stop is in sight, the dog stands and wags
its tail to inform the conductor. Then, without waiting for the bus to stop
completely, it jumps out of the bus and runs to a house very close to the
stop. It opens the big iron gate and rushes inside towards the door. As it
approaches the wooden door, the dog suddenly changes its mind and heads
towards the garden. It goes to the window, and beats its head against it
several times, walks back, jumps off, and waits at the door. The butcher
watches as a big guy opens the door, and starts abusing the dog, kicking
him and punching him, and swearing at him. The butcher surprised with this,
runs up, and stops the guy. "What in heaven's name
are you doing? The dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for the life of
me!"to which the guy responds: "You call this clever? This is the Second
time this week that this stupid dog's forgotten his key."

Moral of the story...

"You may continue to exceed onlookers' expectations but shall always fall short of the bosses' expectations."

Under Operation

I'm again under operation, but this was a painless one huh. I call it operation kasi takot talaga akong magpapedicure sa ibang tao before but since yung unang unang pedicurist na nagpedicure sa aking virgin nails sa paa, eh me hinahanap yatang treasure sa kuko ko sa lalim ng pagkakahalukay kaya since then, kelangang ko nang magpapedicure to have my nail done every 2 weeks and para rin maalis ang aking ingrown na pasakit talaga. Ang bilis tumubo, huhuhu. I hope all of my incoming operations would be as painless as this was...

(pasensya na sa paa kong parang pangmagsasaka lang...lol)

Introducing...Paul's Teeth!

We had our shift at 11:30 pm today and it's good that the que allows us to have our lunch together and a meeting afterwards. Lalo na ako, I'm so happy because I even had a coaching session with tl for almost an hour last night! We've talked about my mom, my scorecard (which is 4.15 for the meantime, my highest score ever!) and my application to be transferred to CVG Commonwealth for the Pioneer Account. He said that there is around 70% probability that I would be transferred as I am the third person who actually sent my Letter of Intent to our Senior Operations Manager. I am kind'a excited and a little bit nervous because it would definitely be a new environment...a new set of friends...a new everything! I love change and I'm open any kind of opportunities that come my way. I am not getting any younger and I think it's time to go up in the ladder ... and moving to a new and pioneer account will open a lot of doors of opportunities for anyone who plans to move. I hope and pray that I will get the slot.

Mama's Health Update

hi guys! here's an update on what happened to my mom. Actually, she feels better now. Unlike yesterday, she is now slowly regaining her strength. She refused to be confined to a hospital as she said she's been on the hospital all her life (she worked at uerm dietary dept. before). I asked my coach if I could take an Emergency Leave and he said I can for 5 days but I need to present documents showing that my mom is indeed in the hospital. How can I get that since mama does'nt want to be confined. I asked for EL because I am the only one attending and nursing my mom during these tough times and I need to make sure she is ok before I report for work again.I don't know if I would still file for that, but I think I really cant report for work tomorrow...

Get Well Soon Mama!

Mama is not feeling well today. I tried calling her yesterday in our house in Montalban but nobody is answering...I tried calling her in her cellphone because I want to confirm if our gimik at DIVI mall tomorrow will still push through but it is turned off. I usually make sure I call mama at least once a day to ask her how she is feeling... but unfortunately that day - I have no means to speak with her. So off I went to my work which starts at 11:30 pm...during our lunch break, we went to KFC as Ice will treat me and Gherj for Lunch (thanks for the treat Ice!), I received a call from my mom telling me to call her back because she is with my cousin Ate Nelia and they've decided to take her to the hospital. You could just imagine how my heart thumped faster than before as she speaks to me. I don't know how I would react. After she hung up...so many things came into my mind... Is my mom ok? Is she in pain? Is it a serious illness? So I hurriedly called her up in her cellphone and my cousin told me that she will accompany mama to the hospital as she was bleeding. I don't know exactly what she means so I hurriedly asked my coach if I could go on undertime and my ever supportive coach texted me back "Go. Please keep me updated ok?" Thanks Coach! Anyway, off I went to Montalban with Jojo in the middle of a heavy rain and it's good to know that mama decided not to be confined to the hospital as she could now walk and she already revived back her strength and she is now resting at my Tita's place which is just one street away from our house. Mama came with us and we

Congrats ng Bonggang Bongga Ms. Venezuela!

May laban ka? Sa posing pa lang...wala nang binatbat ang ibang delegates. Grabe. Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza — was named Ms. Universe at the 57th annual 2008 pageant, held in Diamond Bay Resort in Nha Trang, Vietnam on July 13. Actually our tv was set to channel two Monday morning kaso busing busy ang lola nyo sa kakablog kaya diko na namalayan ang mga pangyayari. Crowd favorite daw talaga yang si Ms. Venezuela and intelligent daw si ate, biruin mo ang tanong is "How can you explain the difference between men and women?" aba ang sagot ni ate...“Men think that the fastest way to go to a point is to go straight. Women know that the faster way to go to a point is to go to the curves.” Wow, panalo! Kudos!

Ang hindi ko maintindihan is that in 2 consecutive years...lagi nalang nadadapa ang mga Amerikanang contestant. Check out this video which was shot last year nung napaupo si Ms. USA Rachel Smith sa evening gown competition...

and see the similarity nung napaluhod naman si Ms. USA 2008 Crystal Stewart habang inirarampa nya ang kanyang evening gown...

(natawa ako kasi nung nadapa siya, pinalakpakan nya pa ang sarili nya. Hello ate, okey ka lang? Hehehe, wala kasing balot sa isteyts!)

Anyways, kahit na hindi nanalo ang manok natin...okey lang. Hindi naman araw araw pasko eh. We've won the Ms. Photogenic award last year through Anna Theresa Licaros kaya keri narin... Anyways, Congrats ng Bonggang Bongga Ms. Venezuela...you deserve the title kasi pretty ka naman talaga ... Mabuhey!

My New Page

Finally, a customized template! I've been looking for the perfect template for my blog...and ms. carlota made it just the way i like it. I told her I want my blog to have a violet and a pink combination with a header na "pang-emotera ang dating" and here it is! I wish I have the same talent as what she has kasi feel ko talaga magdecorate ng mga blogs ko. I super thank you ms. carlota for making a great design and if anyone of you wants to have a custom made template for your blog, let Ms. Carlota do it for you ... Ms. Carlota, sa uulitin po!

I Am Her Daughter, Indeed!

One time I was looking for something on our old "baul" and guess what I've found? Mama's very old pic... I was really shocked. I remember taking a pic of myself on my cellphone that looks so much like that...I can't believe it! (Nag-ookrayan kami ng nanay ko magkamukha naman pala kami, hahaha!) I can't wait till mama sees this. No doubt, she's my mom!

Well, her 64th birthday is on July 10. How time flies... but my dear mother stopped counting her age since 47. She would usually joke around when people ask her of her age...she would always say she is only 47 - but when the person asking shows any hint of doubt and ask again, she would say " ah akala ko address ko tinatanong mo...nasa 60's nako..." (Our address back then was 47-B Aurora Blvd. San Juan). I cant think of any other mother who is as cool and as kalog as my mama. We would usually fight about petite things, she would usually make okray my weight and would often call me "babs" and of course...gagantihan ko sya and would normally joke about how old she was. We would always tease each other about how we look kaya I was laughing out loud when I saw her vintage picture. Para kaming pinagbiyak na bunga.

I have never as close to my mom as I am now...and I am so happy about that. On my younger years, I can't even joke about things like this with her. She is always busy and would rarely talk to me regarding childish stuff like this. We don't hang out as much

im soo excited!

I'll let you take a peek of my soon to be template care of Ms. Carlota. She sent me this header and asked me if i want to change the color combinations and if I have any further instructions...and when I opened the attachment...wow! I fell in love with it in an instant! For me that is the best template for my blog! I love the color combination and of course the "emote picture" in it. I am soo excited! I hope Ms. Carlota could finish the template soon. I can't wait to have a custom template for my 7 other blogs. hahaaha! Here it is!

I LOVE IT!
