Finger lickin' good.

I was never "matakaw". I eat what I can take and stop if I feel I am full. But this has never been the case when I and my colleagues went to Sunrise Buckets (SB) at Madison Square, Greenhills. I thought of eating a regular fried chicken and that's it.I and my workmates went there cuz we feel like craving for chicken but does not want to eat at fast food chains that we use to go to when we wanna eat, chat and hang out. It is a good thing that our Boss bragged that buffalo wings at SB is really mouth watering and we should try it and make ourselves believe about the truth on her testimonial. lol.

This is how the facade looks like. :)

Upon entering, you will see this cemented door step. They say it's all beach sand.

You would need to get a pair of plastic gloves to indulge with the Buffalo Wings. (But I prefer bear hands to do the crime. Hehe. )

Drum roll please. Here's what made me eat one-to-sawa.

Honey Jalapeño Buffalo wings and Java rice. :)

A Story of Appreciation

I got this from my workmate yesterday when I came to work and felt like this one's inspiring. Just read it your own and feel how I felt.

A Story of Appreciation



Translated from Chinese.
This is a powerful message in our modern society. We seemed to have lost our bearing & our sense of direction.
One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.
He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.
The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academicachievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never had a year when he did not score.
The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "none".
The director asked, " Was it your father who paid for your school fees?" The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees.
The director asked, " Where did your mother work?" The youth answered, "My mother worked as clothes cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.
The director asked, " Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?" The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.
The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.*
The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid.
The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water.
This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fee. The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future.
After finishing the cleaning of his mother hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.
That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.
Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.
The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, asked: " Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"
The youth answered, " I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'
The Director asked, "Please tell me your feelings."
The youth said, Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would not the successful me today. Number 2, by working together and helping my mother, only I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.
The director said, " This is what I am looking for to be my manager. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired.
Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The company's performance improved tremendously.
A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever hewanted, would develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others. For this kind of people, who may be good academically, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of achievement. He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying the kid instead?*
You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it. After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person. The most important thing is your kid learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done.
You would have forwarded many mails to many and many of them would have back mailed you too...but try and forward this story to as many as possible...this may change somebody's life...

DEATH

I am at work and heard one of my colleagues threw up a lyric of Tabing Ilog and I was like… life is just like a river. It maybe long or short but it will always end somewhere. There are kinds of it that offers thrill, fun, adventure, happiness, tranquility, vague, rage and sorrow. It is up for people on how they’re gonna travel it, if they will just swim in it or ride a sport boat. Whew! I wonder how I would consider my "travel" now.


I don’t know why I always think of death. It’s been days that it troubles (awakens me during doze off hours, makes me stare at nowhere and tells me to write something about it here) me. Gee, maybe I am just afraid of losing everything when I die… my family, friends, workmates and my facebook account. lol. One more thing, two of my workmates’ relative just died so it really pisses me off that all the stuff about death is a sort of knocking on my doors.


BTW, I am at work at the moment and my Boss just passed by my desk. Good thing she didn’t see what I am writing. Haha. That’s gonna another sort of death for me… I would end up saying goodbye to my work if she did see me!

The Four Wives

Once upon a time...

There was a rich King who had 4 wives.





He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day
she would leave him for another.

He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidante and was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her to help him get through the difficult times.

The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short.

He thought of his luxurious life and pondered, "I now have 4 wives with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone.

Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I have loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"

"No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.

Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart.

The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"

"No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good!
When you die, I'm going to remarry!"

His heart sank and turned cold.

He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me
and keep me company?"

"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave."

Her answer came like a bolt of thunder and the King was devastated.

Then a voice called out:

"I'll leave with you and follow you no matter where you go." The King looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny,
she suffered from malnutrition.

Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!"

In Truth, we all have 4 wives in our lives ...

Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.

Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth.
When we die, it will all go to others.

Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

And our 1st wife is our Soul,



(Guidance)

often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the ego.
However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go.



So cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now!
It is your greatest gift to offer the world.


Let it Shine!

Are we missing something?

Something To Think About. . .

Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approx. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.

4 minutes later:

The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.

6 minutes:

A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.

10 minutes:

A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.

45 minutes:

The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.

1 hour:

He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.


No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100..

This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities.

The questions raised:

*In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?

*Do we stop to appreciate it?

*Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:

One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:

If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made,
How many other things are we missing?

Three steps to take to protect your account data from getting into the wrong hands

Whether by choice or necessity, American consumers are increasingly relying on debit rather than credit cards. Debit card spending has risen steadily, growing from 47.7 percent of purchases made with plastic in 2003 to 58.9 percent in 2008 and it is expected to surpass 67 percent by 2013, according to the Nilson Report, a newsletter that tracks the consumer payment industry.

When you use a debit card, the money is immediately taken from your checking account. While using debit guarantees that you pay as you go, these cards have downsides, including a growing appeal to thieves. "As economic conditions have worsened, there's been a noticeable increase in all types of card fraud," says Avivah Litan, an analyst specializing in fraud detection and prevention at Gartner Research in Stamford, Conn. "But ATM and debit-card fraud is the top area of concern we're hearing about from banks all over the world."

Unlike credit-card thieves, who usually charge merchandise and then resell it to come up with money, people who create counterfeit ATM or debit cards by stealing your PIN and other account data can simply pull cold cash from your bank account. Using a technique known as skimming, they set up equipment that captures magnetic stripe and keypad information when you input your PIN at ATM machines, gas pumps, restaurants, or retailers.

Here's how you can protect yourself:

Don't Type in Your Pin at the Pump

Be especially vigilant at gas stations, Litan says. "Gas pumps are notorious for skimming because they're produced by only a couple of different manufacturers, and if someone gets the key to one from a disgruntled employee, they can insert a skimming device inside the pump where it can't be seen," she says. She recommends using a credit card rather than a debit card when you fill your tank.

If you must use a debit card at the gas pump, choose the screen prompt that identifies it as a credit card so that you do not have to type in your PIN. The purchase amount will still be deducted from your bank account, but it will be processed through a credit-card network, which will give you greater protection from liability if fraud does occur. This is because card issuers typically have "zero liability" policies for both debit and credit cards, but sometimes exclude PIN-based transactions from that protection.

Stick With ATMs Located at Banks

To reduce your risk at ATMs, use machines at banks rather than in convenience stores, airports, or any isolated locations, advises Darrin Blackford, a spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service, which investigates financial crimes involving interstate commerce. "A thief has to be able to attach and retrieve a skimming device to use the data it's gathered," he says. "And that's more likely to happen in nonbank settings where there's less traffic and no surveillance cameras."

That doesn't mean that bank ATMs are immune, however. In August 2008, Wachovia Bank reported that several debit-card "identities" were stolen when a skimming device was placed on an ATM at a branch in Cape Coral, Fla.

"It's often hard to spot skimmers," Blackford says. "But if you notice a change at an ATM you use routinely, such as a color difference in the card reader or a gap where something appears to be glued onto the slot where you insert your card, that's a warning sign you'd want to report to the bank that owns the machine."

Closely Monitor Your Bank Accounts

Check them regularly—preferably online rather than waiting for monthly statements to arrive in the mail. Federal law limits your liability for fraudulent debit-card charges to $50, but only if you report the theft or loss of your card or PIN within two business days of discovering the problem. If you fail to report unauthorized charges within 60 days of the date the statement listing those charges was mailed, you could be liable for any unauthorized withdrawals afterward, including the full value of credit lines or savings accounts linked to your account for overdraft protection.

Visa and MasterCard have zero liability policies that go beyond federal law by exempting debit cardholders from liability in most circumstances when a bank investigation confirms that a transaction is fraudulent. But dealing with debit-card fraud can have a greater impact on your finances than credit-card fraud.

When you're a victim of unauthorized charges on a credit card, you won't be out any money while the disputed charges are being investigated. But when a thief steals money from your bank account using a counterfeit debit or ATM card, that cash won't be restored to your account until the bank conducts its investigation and classifies it as a case of fraud. Some victims of debit-card skimming scams who have contacted the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a nonprofit consumer advocacy group, about their experiences report that while banks in most cases replenished the stolen funds, some of them had no access to the money for several weeks while bank investigations were conducted.

i need more income...

I am earning per month. I am not that contented with what I get cuz I always end up borrowing some money from my friend. I need to save more cuz by June I'll be studying again. I wondered how I could get additional pennies and decided to surf the internet longing for anything that would suffice my need. I logged in to my Facebook account and noticed that I got a message from Kuya Adi asking for a favor to view his site at blogger.com. I was kinda curious by that time and realized that God answered my question instantly! Cheers!

The content of the message is to let me click to in text advertisements embelished to his blog. I have this idea before about the "click-to-earn" stuff over the internet but I consider it as a scam before. But I guess it is not since Kuya Adi tried it himself. (I have trust to him you know... :] ) What I did is to google some websites similar to Kuya Adi's integration link. I end up reading infolink.com's offer. You'll get paid for every click from your blog's visitor! Isn't it cool? You're not making a lot of effort but you are having revenue. Now I have another reason to blog, aside from it lessens stress out of me but it adds money to my savings! I'll make sure that blogging will be my habit everyday!:)

Well, I don't know yet if how I'll get my earnings. I have a PayPal account and according to the integration site they'll automatically send it to my debit card thru PayPal. I hope this will work. I'll exert more time to blogging since this will be my side line ( "side line" -- Filipinos mean it as another source of income). TO MY VISITORS: please click on those green or yellow colored texts. It'll help me for sure! Thanks.

on acceptance...

I never treat my life as bitter. I describe it as fun and jolly. But let me just express out how I feel today cuz of something that made me feel sad. I really wanted to have someone to talk to. Thanks to a friend of mine where she consoles me when she noticed that sad look in my eyes.(pano kaya nila napapansin?may slogan ba na nakasulat sa mata na malungkot ka pag nakikipag-usap sa kanila?I find 't weird cuz I paint my face with a smile but there she goes...noticed the bitterness I am feeling)Moving forward, I know you're clueless bout what I am saying and let me just talk to this pc now to ease some pain in deep. Let me begin with few questions here: 1.] Sino may alam diyan na psych?baliw na kasi ako... 2.] Pano ba makipag-usap sa multo? 3.] Kung bibigyan kang pagkakataon...makikipag-usap ka ba sa multo? 4.] How would you stay positive if all things that you think are in contrast with what you believe in? 5.] Kung magpapakamatay ba ako may mapapala ako?(alam ko wala..pero what if?) 6.] Pano ka matutulog kung hindi ka pinapatulog ng isip mo? 7.] Pano mo paglalabanan ang hirap o pighati na nadarama ng iyong puso kung hindi mo maramdaman na may puso ka? 8.] Nawawala ba ang puso? 9.] Kung mawala ang puso mo saglit,hahanapin mo ba 'to? 10.]Sabi nila naririnig daw ni Lord lahat ng prayers ng sansinukob...malapit na kaya para i-entertain niya mga hiling ko? 11.]Pano ko malalaman na malapit na niyang sagutin mga hiling ko? Naku! Unfair kasi walang notification kung accepted o rejected ang mga f-in-ile mong request? I have the answers to those questions.I'm just so damn confused about it.It feels so bad when you need someone and she's out of reach. It hurts so much when you miss someone and you'll never ever get the chance to talk to her. It hurts when you know that the person that you owe your life from will never have the chance to feel your embrace. It hurts so much when you miss those arms that helds you in times of sorrow. It's freakin difficult to accept that no matter how you stay positive over things you still end up having tears cuz you are aware that you can not be with her anymore. It aches deep inside how you long for someone and have that fact that she'll not come back. It really hurts when you miss every lil thing about her and cant do anything about cuz you are bound to accept the truth. It really hurts! Damn! Happy Birthday!:[

gettin too busy

I never got a life that's too busy as it is now. I used to waste my time before on silly things like roamin' around the mall, 5-hours-internet-surfing, sleeping, goin to school to meet attendance requirements and basically fooling around. I never value time coz I live life to the fullest. I live life as it is. I live to have fun and to satisfy myself with the things that I love to do. I live the way I wanted without people mandating me on what to do.

Though my parents are strict and keeps telling me to do things appropriately, I don't follow them (well, if I think that it's not worth to be followed) and just do what I think. I don't believe in "baka pagsisihan ko sa huli ang mga ginagawa ko"... well, I don't make things that I would end up blaming myself of its cons. I know that everything I do is in accordance with I feel, think and perceive... (wait wait..perceive?does it include the way I feel?hmm..) I know that everything that I do is right and if it's not (for others...) well I do not blame myself for it cuz on the first place I'm the one who commit it. I just add’t as one learning tool that so that I'll not do ’t again.

But now? Yes, I live to the fullest still but I get too busy that I don't see myself doing things that I'm used to before. I don't know. My life now is busy-boring-robotic. Busy cuz I need to do well with my work and have to attain good evaluations. Even if I'm off from school, it feels like I'm still studying (double the research or assignment stuff in school) cuz I need to know every little thing about what I'm telling to those (BULL****) customers. In that way I'll not mislead them. Boring cuz I'm bound too do what alters my principle. I need to be kind to them and follow every little policy that is written and is governed by their LAW. I can't exercise my own belief. Good thing is I can address what I truly feel the way I stare at them (makuha ka sa tingin…haha!)—and that in some way makes me feel good. Robotic may mean I do same thing that I do every other night.

Well, the good side is I know how to be more independent ( pakipansin ang quantifier na ginamit ko dito…which means I’m independent before!hehe). I no more rely on my sibs and parents. I live alone and it feels good cuz whatever happens I need to resolve‘t by my own. I don’t know if it’s fine cuz I miss them at times. But I look at it in an encouraging way… they say if you’ll look every thing in its good side, you’ll not feel awful. Well, what do you think?

Why Do We Fall in Love?

By Amy Bowles Reyer, Ph.D.

"It is better to have loft and lost than to never have loft at all." — Groucho Marx

Falling in love is a magical experience that happens between two people. So why do people fall in love?

Q: What motivates people to seek out love?
A: Our primary motivation as human beings is to expand the self and to increase our abilities and our effectiveness. One of the ways we accomplish this is through our relationships with other people. We have learned in our research that it is important to feel that you have the ability to be an effective person, especially in our relationships.

---

Q: How does this theory of self-expansion explain the process of falling in love?
A: Usually, we fall in love with a person that we find attractive and appropriate for us, but also someone who demonstrates that they are attracted to us. This creates a situation where a great opportunity is open to us for self-expansion. The fact that they are attracted to us offers a significant opportunity — when we perceive this, we feel a surge of exhilaration!

---

Q: Does it always work this way?
A: No, an interesting exception to this occurs if we feel badly about ourselves. The process gets thrown off if we can't believe that another persons finds us attractive — like the Groucho Marx joke where we don't want to belong to a club that would have us for a member. We tend to miss out on opportunities for falling in love if we don't feel good about ourselves.

---

Q: What conditions are best for meeting someone and falling in love?
A: When you meet someone under conditions that are highly arousing — a political demonstration, turbulence on a plane, a stimulating performance — a time when the body is stirred up and excited, we tend to experience attraction at a heightened level. This effect is well documented but the explanations for it are very controversial. I tend to believe that we come to associate the arousal of the situation with this person and our own self-expansion.

---

Q: When do we fall in love?
A: Contrary to what most people think, the statistics show that most people fall in love with someone that they have known for a while. People only report falling in love quickly about 1/3 to 40 percent of the time. Of course, this varies from culture to culture. Falling in love happens differently between cultures but it does occur in most cultures.

---

Q: How does our appearance factor into the equation of falling in love?
A: This is interesting; we have found that if you are very unattractive, it can hurt you a lot in forming romantic relationships. However, being attractive doesn't help that much.

---

Q: How do you explain that?
A: We have found that two important characteristics, kindness and intelligence, are extremely important in the process of falling in love. And attractiveness is not connected to these things. These two attributes are things that people learn about someone from knowing them over time. Intelligence is important in all aspects of life, especially in love. But kindness is the strongest indicator for a successful long-term relationship.

Q:Why do we need to fall in love if we just end up crying?
A:(answer ain't yet known)

----

I end this up without an answer to the question above way back in March. Now, I can face 't. Sometimes, we just need to feel the aches and pain of having it coz we are trying to be mature. We long for someone we think that would make us the happiest and most contented person in the world just to have them. But ironically, we need to suffer. We need to feel the hurts of expecting for something (that now I learned we shouldnt!) and have it healed through time and have this realization that not all that we see can be heard...not all that we feel may be spoken...not all fragrances could be touched. Well, moral of the story is: some time in our lives we need to be crazy and dumb for that one crap and after just continue living. Ayun. Minsan nga lang talaga kelangang magpakatanga ka para alam mo kung pano magpapakatalino sa iisang bagay na 'yun pagkatapos. Tagos. Tumatagos. Tatagos. TUMAGOS. Now, I am certain that I'm now over with the past tense of the feeling I had whem I lost someone. Yipee! Cheers!

what about it?

I never loved reading books until I learned how it takes to a person to be great.I'm not saying I'm great coz I read but I feel great whenever I read books.There are lotta reasons how it makes me feel great. That's basically made me hooked up from having those leaves of books be at my side always. I never mind what's the title or who's the author but I'm up to how it brings impact to my life. I just find myself thinking of the scenes(if there are) of the stories from novels that I read.

I read "Orosa-Nakpil:Malate" a week ago and until now I still have those reactions(violent or crucial) for the setting,plot and specially the characters of the novel. It's a filipino novel that my nuna Sarah let me borrow. It's all about HIV-AIDS and a story of a giga-sexual. How he found true love despite of having confusions about his personality. I love the way the author wrote it coz he made me feel sad,happy,mad and fell in love to the book itself. I don't know if it's because of the story or how the story makes similarity to my life. I see myself to one of the characters on that novel....and I think that's the main reason why I did not sleep over night just to finish reading.

If you have read that novel, you will see myself as "Angelo". One who's a martyr lover. One who'll give up everything just to show my love and affection to a person(whew!we're becoming serious here..hehe).I don't know if you'll understand me(well, I don't care if you do, I have here this freedom of sayin what I feel now..alas to you!:)

Living in 2009

I got this post and just wanna share to you guys:

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2009 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2 You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )

12 You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list

AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

my everyday @ a call center

I'm just 19 years young.(yes it's true..I'm telling you the WHOLE truth:).I'm supposedly finishing my degree but certain things happened so I'm a sort of having some adventures first here in Manila and would probably go back to continue studying.It'll be my 2nd month on the 21st in a call center here in Makati City and I find it really challenging but I'm having fun.I used to talk to different people(creatures I prefer!hehe) over the phone who pays for their bills,disputes abouts unexpected charges on their account,add and remove services,restore suspended accounts and the most I enjoy is to know how they live and compare on how we are here in the Philippines.

I got a call where she's asking for my surname.I told her my last name.And she asked me where is she calling from, I answered that she's calling in from the Philippines.And suddenly she told me that I steal her job.I don't feel harrased or embarrased but if you'll gonna hear a word "steal"?hell...But I was so patient that time and I said to her that I am not stealing anything from her.And it came to my brain(yes I have!;0) that yes,unconsciously,I stole her job.She used to work with the company that I am working with right now.And I know how it feels like being laid off from work and having difficulties on where to get income for living.

I am enjoying the feeling that I have a job right now but somehow I pity those who were laid off from their job in the U.S. coz their havin a hard time looking for sort of living and ways of generating income.She said,"I don't know why those companies from the US bring their business here in the Philippines where in fact the people living here(sa U.S.) needs job."I am ready to answer that: it's because they feel the difficulties giving the salary to them since it's dollars there.But it didn't voice out from my mouth.I just told her that if she'll be in my situation and she was offered with a job,would she not get it?

I am happy coz somehow I touch different lives of people.In so many cases that I influence the way they think.I don't know if we think the same but as far as my mind set is concerned,I think I really leave an impact, if not,'something' to them. I talk to them not just product wise but as well as comment on the way they live and the way their lives run. Sometimes I can't help but to let a certain call exceeds my average handling time coz of certain things like I ask them if there's anything else that I can do for them or sometimes tell them that I am so glad that I talked to them.**winks**

I was supposed to post the ~'a call center geek"must have"~ but as I checked on it here,it was gone. I remember that I saved it as a draft but unfortunately the only word left was "tumbler".Anyway,I'll try to finish it some other time and let you read it. But for now, let me just give you how my life runs everyday(every night!)ahaha

update

ABANGAN:next blog post 'ko entitled:"call center geek 'must have'
:)

a little bit of everything

Well...as i read the book little prince yesterday, i came to realize one thing(well,it's on my mind prior to the date that i was reading the book)--that "What ia essential is invisible to the eye".I came up to be a grown-up since I was able to talk to older people.But I regret that I turned into a grown up having little great things in my mind(well,you might be confused,there's no such a GREAt little thing in this world--but now it has).I consider myself as a grown up coz I use to think as mature as grown up people.But still, look at me--still havin' that childish acts and insights in my words and acts.Well,let me just tell you pointers why now I consider myself as that little prince by Exuspery.





I'm a drunkard.Well,I used to drink.But drinking has nothing to do with this stuff.It just shows how people intend to forget things that they wanted to forget.By the meaning,it means somehow we want hurts to be out of our mind.We want bad things not to be part of our system.I'm like that too.I use to laugh...I use to smile..I use to show people how funny how I am...I use to let them know that it's cheerful in the outside but hurting in the inside.Well?It's natural that sometimes we just wanted to hide our emotions in a glass and throw it somewhere else where no one can find it.



I'm not a monarch.Well,basically a monarch does all the orders of the world.He has this capability to move everything through his words.I love the character of the monarch coz he seems to be fair to everyone in his world.He does not pass orders which aren't possible.He depends on what 'reality' means.Like he can't order a sun to set if it's daylight and he can't mandate to make money out of leaves.Something like that.Well,I'm a bit of like this monarch...I used to set things which I can reach.I don't put up goals which are untouchable.I mean those which aren't possible for me to achieve.Well,I have those lone term goals but as of the moment, I focus myself on the things which are happening--the present time.One said you should not be bothered by the past nor be conscious for the future...what matters most is how you deal with your present.

I'm not conceited.I don't why I included the "conceited" here..well,I just wanted you to realize how we become conceited at times.hehe.I don't consider myself as a conceited person,where in fact there are conceited pips around me.Those are the person who think they are the best of the bests, the richest of the rich, the handsomest of the handsome, and all the adjective in superlative form that they're brain could think of.**I don't really have time to exaggerate ideas here**

I am a flower.This has nothing to do with being feminine,well I consider myself as a flower coz of the word "friend".A flower is basically a flower...with petals,leaves,roots and other parts of a plant that a flower could've.But what makes it important?The way we tame it.It's like a friend coz at the beginning we can consider a flower as a single flower(let's use rose as an example).A rose will be the same as thise roses that we see. It's just that when we learn to water or plant a specific rose we became used to it.That rose became unique from the other flowers around.Same way with having a friend,at first we consider a friend as a single person--one of the people around the world.But as we learn how to talk with a friend,that person became unique.And eventually we started to have feelings of importance to him/her.And a time will come that we wanted to be always beside them.

reming strikes again!

My fellow bicolanos may understand the way I state my post's title. I remembered the tragic scene brought by Reming way back November 2008 through Ondoy. I know it has nothing to do with my life coz I'm not affected by it but as I see the damages caused by Ondoy, a flash back of Reming reminded me of how difficult it was being in a situation where you are struggling for your life.



Likewise, overflowing water,mud,recked houses,separated households,and worst is -- lives taken away from people. We can't blame anyone for this tragic phenomena. It's nature. This just reminds us to save mother nature from depreciating. I may sound like an advocate here but it's true, let's try to save nature from being worst. I mean, we should let ourselves be the reason of stuff like flood,heavy rains, global warming,etc. If we will not make way to save it it will always be US who'll suffer the consequences. It is always us who will receive the dilemma once nature head back its revenge.

Anyway, I just had that side comment coz I an't really imagine how people from other part of Manila and other provinces suffer from Ondoy's force. While I am safe and sound, sleeping the whole weekend, folks were trying to save their way of living, their houses and most specially their lives.

Let me just tell you that I created this post 2 days -- 092809 & today 092909. I became lazy finishing this post yesterday coz of some reasons that I need to get off from using PC. Sometimes I'm like that -uhuh?not just sometimes,all the time-trying to leave things hanging. Anyway, atleast I somewhat changed coz I was able to finish this post.:)

why would i blog again?

I just decided a minute ago to post a topic again to this blog. I tried not to and I stopped before but now here I go again. One major reason is jub's blog, I dont know why but as I read those posts from poot I come to realize that its not good to blame a blog posts to ruin a plan. I don't know. When I had my biggest down fall way back June2009, I blame this stupid blog. If only this blog has history system on it, you may find out the reason but alas for coz it doesnt.

I'm working now in a call center. Some people say its good coz I earn more than a public employee could get. But for me? It's toxic. I just enjoy the feeling of having the job that other person is aiming, is wishing, to have and ofcourse the "bucks" that I get from it. I enjoy it but I always come to think that this is not what I dreamed. This is not what I longed or wished to have. This is not where should I be working at. This sucks and I get rid of those bull**** customers that are calling and calling you ridiculous.

I'm sorry to dissapoin you about the call center field. But its true. It's just a matter of having the courage to go to work every night and wearing those gadgets and converse with people you don't even know. But honestly speaking, I am enjoying it. I told myself that Ill be good at it. I told myself that I'm here coz I'm way different from other people. I'm here to discover new things that I'm not used to do before. I'm trying to live a more complicated independent life.

SO,why would I blog again? It's because blogging is now my bff. I don't have with me my friends. They're miles away. And even if I text or call them every day, I can't still express out what I feel every other day...every other hour or minute.Oh, I'm being too personal with this post. Don't worry, I'll try to post some interesting topics during my spare time.:)

speaK uP!

How does it feel having a runny nose(34km/h velocity) itchy throat?Well, it's a strange feeling having these two. I wanted to let them feel unwelcome but they really stick to me for a week now. I already consulted a genius friend on what-the-hell is happening to my throat and my nose. He advised me to take med but it seems that it gets worst time after time. And exclusively right as this moment as I type this post, I can't help but BARK.

I'm in a computer shop having 19'c aircon on and there are pips right here beside me. I don't want them to suffer so I used a hanky to mask my mouth.(fuck these mosquitoes right here in!blood suckers!go to hell!)God!I already changed my mood -- I am feeling melo dramatic for I have found out that the King of Pop passed away last thursday and all the Filipinos here and abroad are sad about it. I don't feel anything about this stuff, it's just that I can't help but give my opinion 'bout him everytime my friends talk about "hollywood".

Back to my real topic, I am thankful because atleast these *ucking cough and runny nose gave me some advantage. It keeps me away from cigars. Well, I decided not to puff for it might worsen what I am suffering right now. Anyway, I'll just use it the very time I got healed.
