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*

the superman collection...finally!

after months of searching, i finally found it!

its the superman dvd collection. wee!

sorry sir edu manzano, i'm not rich so opted to the pirated one. hihi

as for my idol, don't worry supes, i'll buy the original superman returns special edition dvd when it's released here. hehe

nostalgia

nostalgia mode...

the past few days have been different, silent and sad. the list of the things i miss are close to infinity. i must admit, the past 11 months have been one of the best moments and almost perfect.

you don't always get the dream house, but you get awfully close. i've never been that happy but i've never been this sad. waking up everyday feeling like someone just died... or maybe it was me, the old me.

some good old friends asked me to just hang on. i'll keep my promise but i cannot guarantee for how long... maybe for a few months. im really tired...

farewell mid

monday will be different. i'll be in the morning shift. i'm not good at words so i'll just say it the best way that i can:

oli - walking home would different from now on. no more chunkyness.
ian - what the hell is your secret to being thin??? nagdrugs ka noh?
zorrs - you've helped us a lot in sports. keep it up and goodluck in graveyard.
ryan - you still have a chance to show how much you love a person. do it before its too late.
fae - i learned that i shouldn't be ashamed of liking opm songs because of you. salamat sa tdp!
bernard - di pa tayo close so bye bye na lang.
richard - salamat sa screenshot. di rin tayo close so yun lang.
phoebe - you made me laugh a lot and made me appreciate donna cruz even more. shadamdadam.
jeanne - you made me realize that eating is the best way to forget your problems.
dean - we'll still be together in am shift. at least i got you there. protect me master.
kelly - its sad that we won't be able to continue our slimming plans. iba ka chong.
liaa - thanks for being there when no one is around. i'll miss those photo ops.
jodie - i will miss you the most. the past few months, i've appreaciated everything around me even more. you will always be special. thank you for everything.

and in case that i'll be able to go back to mid, i hope to see you guys again. ciao!
