advantages of being insensitive

you won't miss your friends that much.
you tend to give an impression that you're strong even if you're not.
you won't easily fall in love with your best friend.
you don't care what people think about you.
you just do your job and that's it.
you don't get too emotional.
you don't easily get hurt.
you easily adapt to change.

i wish i am. but i'm not.

diet coke + mentos = KABOOM!

oh the wonders of science!!! (with a bit of research..ehem) did you know that dropping a few mentos (the original one. dont mind the photo, it's fruity) into a bottle of diet coke can trigger an eruption. if i have known this earlier, i sure would have made a lot of my old school enemies cry! oh...sweet revenge... nyahahaha

Per Wikipedia:

"When Mentos is dropped into soda, the gelatin and gum arabic of the candy dissolves and breaks the surface tension. This disturbs the water mesh, so that it takes less work to expand and form new bubbles. Each Mentos candy has thousands of tiny pits all over the surface. These tiny pits function as nucleation sites, perfect places for carbon dioxide bubbles to form. As soon as the Mentos enters the soda, bubbles form all over the surface of the candy. The Mentos quickly sinks to the bottom, releasing carbon dioxide as it comes into contact with carbonated liquid along the way. The sudden increase in pressure pushes all of the liquid up and out of the bottle."

sweet!

the pldt csr agent

i recently heard the pldt agent cursing scandal. poor csr. why didn't she check if the mute button was on. *snobs* but it really happens. sometimes you just can't control it. i remember it also happened to me. the difference in my case is that i was talking to an american meaning he wasn't able to understand anything i've said when i lost my temper. (tee-hee ) i guess this csr reached the point of burnout and stress. i can't blame her. the call center industry is really not ideal for the sensitive and shy. if you're fond of talking and answering phone calls then yes, this job is for you. i've had my share of experience for almost 2 years and yes, it was a stressful job. but not all of it of course. having a good company beside you really makes the workload easier to handle.

uhuh, and while oli & meg were holding hands because of the quake (don't worry, meg's a lady who want to be gay and oli's a gay who wants to be a lady **confused**), i was answering a question! daym! i wasn't even able to enjoy moment. jodie never felt the quake while we were chatting in ym. maybe because the quake is stronger here at the 9th floor. yet after the quake, i feel like floating. man, feels like you're on drugs! hope there's no tsunami though.

what a shaky day!

makati

i been living in makati since 1999. a lot has changed... from places to people. here's a good pic of the city that i got from the skyscapercity forum:


try to find the place where i live. haha

*hint: the bldg with the banner 243-6565.

things to ponder

there are a lot of things that i realized and some that i still have to ponder:

change is inevitable. you've always thought that it's final. kala mo happy ending na. may it be your job, routine or the things that you're used to. you just have to face it. past is past. the only thing that i still and probably would never understand is why some people don't even know the effect of their decisions.

shit happens. if somebody did something bad to you, eh di gumanti ka. if somebody said something bad about you, then try to change yourself. malay mo totoo di ba? and if something bad happens to you, then learn from it.

friends come and go. understand the fact that friends come and go. try to spend the most of your time with them before it's too late. and when they go, you also need to learn to let go. but there will always be a precious few that you should hold on to.

you'll always want more. even if you have everything, you always want something better. you upgrade your pc because its slow. you change your fone because it's outdated. ganun talaga. you're human. you'll always want something better. try to buy yourself a gift once in a while.

always look at the bright side. for the past few weeks, i've been complaining about the way i do my job. but i came to realize that i just complain because i wanted a perfect job. may gulay, hundreds of applicants tried and dreamed of working at amn. no calls, no irate callers, no surf control (on friendster! hehe).. who wouldn't want that? and here i am whining about this and that. a wise person once told me that there's totally no stress in doing your job. it's the people that cause you stress. baka ganun nga. siguro nga namimiss ko lang ang midshift. ganun lang talaga yun. hayyy

last but not the least, never lose hope. some say things happen for a reason. siguro nga. sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down. ika nga ni ethel booba: "ang buhay parang gulong... nasusunog!"

yun lang.... makakain na nga

and 1 year has passed...

today's my 1st year anniversary here at amn. what a roller coaster ride!

horoscope

i just checked on my horoscope and here's what it says:

Libra:
Someone you haven't met could be just the person to change your life. It's time to really see where you are and think about where you want to go. The rightness of your wishes will draw this person into your life.

hmmm.. who could this be?

*wonders*
