Resurrection POSTED AT 08:07 AM The weekend after "Martial law" was implemented on the floor me and my bei attented a personality development seminar. This seminar is one of the free stuff that you'll get when you join my side line.*KAYA IF YOUR INTERESTED TEXT NYO LANG AKO 09209073859, MAGANDANG BUSINESS AND YOU WOULD ALSO GROW AS A PERSON!* Going back, the seminar made me realize that whatever it is Im planning or dreaming in the future It would happen not because it is destined to happen but because I WOULD MAKE IT HAPPEN! The seminar gave me hope by dreaming, having a goal, looking forward to a bright future! The seminar literally made us fly too, of course with the help of the other members! => On September 2, friday I logged off early from work, undertime, VTO whatever you would like to call it, because me and my bei, again!, would be watching a concert. This is not just an ordinary concert but a Gary V. concert. we were actually planning to watch this concert since the first time it was advertized because we have not yet seen Gary in a concert and this may be the last concert he would be doin here in Manila, I dont know why I just feel that way. We do not have tickets yet and the only available tickets are the most expensive and the least expensive. eventually we went with the least expensive. We were so far from the stage that we should have brought a binocular or something but it was ok since we could still see and recognize Gary V.'s face and all his guests including Ryan C. The concert was Majestic! We laughed, we cried, we danced, we sang, we shouted for joy! => but the greatest feeling we felt that night was peace. The stress of work, exhaustion from the traffic, noise and pollution of the city life was erased. Somehow with Gary's songs and our excitement of being part of the show refreshed us as if we just got out of a sauna. If in the seminar they made me believe in my self, through this concert, through one specific moment from the concert, it made me believe that nothing is impossible. Gary started to sing one of his christian songs and during the chorus the whole orchestra stopped, Gary stopped but everybody was singing in harmony! I really do not know how to define it but it was one of the most memorable moments of my life. Sabi ko nga, if I die and go to hell i'll bring a lot of good memories with me and whenever I feel very hot, since its hell, this moment would be one of the thoughts that would cool me off. I felt at that moment angels were singing with us, singing one song, in one harmony! I love you Gary! he he! => Through the past month I was also addicted to two things that made me realize not to back out of this problematic world but instead face it and fight back! One of them was the yearly Sportsfest! Yes! it is one of the remaining reasons why Im still here doing the same old shit! Sabi ko dati, I want to resign after the Sportsfest but we did not win the championship so I waited patienly and took a lot more long calls before the next Sportsfest, and now it is here! I may not be the best player of our team nor a good one as well but just being there playing for the team, being trusted by your teammates and officemates, losing some games and winning most of the games together makes me feel like Im a Superstar! It really feels good to know that somehow your life is still worth something and that people do still trust in you! The final four is upcoming so we do need your prayers and support! GO NSI-INPHONIC! => The other addiction I have is PBB for short or Pinoy Big Brother! I know this may sound so corny or, for some, "jologs" but I was able to relate and enjoy the show. Corny na kung corny, jologs na kung jologs but it is already part of my system! For those of you who do not know about it try watching ABSCBN at 9:45 pm, 12:30 am or Channel 23 at 6:30 pm on weekdays and 7:30 pm on weekend. One scene I would not forget and probably helped me with my resurrection is the scene where in Big Brother was talking to Uma about quitting the show because Uma could not smoke. If you ask who Uma is, he is the good looking gay guy with glasses and head band. Big brother asked "Dahil lang sa yosi sosoko ka na?" Uma, shaking and with tears flowing down his cheeks replied "hindi! hindi ako susuko!" I know medyo mababaw ung rason for Uma to possibly quit pero he is a yosi addict and not smoking for a day would kill the shit out of him kaso he did not gave up! No matter how hard, how painful it is for him to give up this thing that he would never give up for the world just did. You may commonly see this kinda hopeful, ideal reaction in movies and soap operas but PBB is not a scripted movie nor a soap opera, it is the real thing caught on cam! There is a lot more where this came from so watch PBB na! Pinoy ako! Pinoy tayo! Ipakita sa mundo, kung ano ang kaya mo! => Lastly, this resurrection would not be possible without first the people who did not stop on tagging here eventhough they would not find anything new. They made me feel that some how I was important. Thank you very much! Im back now! he he he! My family, friends and officemates that has become my friends, to my ever dearest BEI! You guys are the only reason why Im still working here, why I still suck up my complaints and still go through the daily stress of taking calls from idiotic and feeling god customers, why I still wake up everymorning and why Im still writing or typing this! I may be nobody for the world, I may just be an ordinary Customer Service Sales Technical Representative, Average Basketball player and a trying hard writer, singer, musician, photographer and film maker but because of these people, because of the events God made possible, I know that Im special and someday ill find my rightful place in this world! IM STILL HERE! IM STILL HERE! IM STILL HERE! and This is my World! => Reading: My past rants Listening to: John Rzeznik's classic Watching: MTV of Im still here Feeling: thankful 6 Words

A perfect job POSTED AT 03:30 AM This week is not an ordinary week for me because a lot of "firsts" happened this week. One of them is the Martial Law! Yes you are not mistaken and I did not mistype it! During the start of the week, martial law was implemented on the floor. I've read a lot of people ranting about it so its my turn now! During the days of this week you would only hear 1 voice from 1 person! I think this person would be the LOUDEST and the NOISIEST (did I get the spelling correct?) human being ever! I logged in at 9:59 am, manila time, and ever since then all of us have the pleasure of having default time to prepare for our shift. Suddenly this person shouted from the bottom of this persons', I dont even want to imagine or think about, "PLEASE GO ON AVAIL, ALL OF THOSE ON DEFAULT!" DDDDDDUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHH! HELLO! FOR YOUR INFORMATION MY SHIFT STARTS AT 10 AM NOT 9:59! But as a good human being that I am, walang aangal blog ko to!, I just went on avail and gave a 1 min. OT TY. Part of the implementation of Martial Law is that every move you make, specially with the call master buttons, should first be asked for. I've read a lot of ranting about this but I don't really have an issue with this since I really dont ask permission! Yes! I DON'T ASK PERMISSION! The hell with all of them! that is why that button is called PERSONAL because you could use it in anyway you want. PERSONALLY, if they want to know what we would be doing during our personal time, then maybe they need to think about its name and rename it as PERSONAL TIME THAT IS NOT REALLY MINE or PERMITTED PERSONAL, or better yet PERSONAL WITH CONSENT! As if those two mentioned are not enough, the third Martial Law implementation (did I get the spelling correct?) is for all of us INBOUND, CUSTOMER SERVICE reps SELL! get it, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SELL! hmmm, something is definitely wrong there! Before customer service reps are encouraged to do upsells and it is ok if you dont close a sale as long as you offer! Now WE NEED TO CLOSE THE SALE! (its like someone from above or in your head shouting in deep voice) YOU NEED TO CLOSE THE SALE! YOU NEED TO CLOSE THE SALE! Damn, if this is what ill be getting into, then I should have stick with my previous job where we just sell and don't do customer service, well because it is another dept, get it ANOTHER DEPARTMENT! I really don't get too why our company that focuses on supporting the people would stick up with this partner that does not care about its representatives and only cares about the income it generates! Well for their information, as if they could read this, without the representatives they would not even generate income! Yeah, yeah, yeah! they are the pioneer and leading company in this Internet shit business but right now who cares! They may still be the pioneer but they are no longer leading! Damn shit! LOWER YOUR PRICES OR BETTER YET MAKE YOUR SYSTEM WORK! Maybe if they could just lower their prices and make their system work, they would be a better company to work for! Hey you guys up there, who made the concept of supporting the people, change your values, throw this shitty client out and take up on phone sex instead, maybe it would be more relaxing for both the customers and the reps! Another first that happened to me this week is that I pressed on lunch while Im still on avail! WHAT! lunch while on avail?!?!?! yup and a call came in, good thing fabs was keen and good enough to inform my teammates that Im not around and I have a call so they transferred it. I do apologize to chiqui since, according to teddy, she got the transferred call. I also do apologize and thank my supervisor, franchie, for being so patient and considerate. It will not happen again! Damn I felt so bad that every call would not be and will never be a sale call and every call would end up letting the customer hang up! I really think im fed up with this job, no not really, WITH THIS PARTNER YES! I mean I dont have problems with talking to people, helping people. I dont have problems with my officemates and my supervisors, except for that Martial Law person that I really do think that person thinks as if she/he's a sup! Much more I really don't have a problem with this easy job but I do have a very big problem with the system this PARTNER is running and with this fucked up PARTNER itself! Somehow I think what happened to The Sex was a blessing in disguise. he may no longer be with the good people from this DEPARTMENT but at least he would be far away as possible from this system and this PARTNER! Going through the web, browsing, I came across these pictures and I thought, man the work of these people are heavy and quite frankly I don't want to be in their shoes but with this kind of system and PARTNER I am in right now, anything would be better.

Her worth POSTED AT 09:10 AM
I woke up today quite late so I had to hurry up eatin' breakfast and taking a bath. On my way to work, during the traffic jam at P. Tuazon (u dont have to know where it is unless you're interested in knowing where I live), while worriedly nervous that I may not reach the office in time, I remembered that is is actually my mother's birthday today! So I instantly called her, not minding dat Im using my new phone while inside the jeep (its a no no to do that spec. if you're close to a squatters area). I talked to her and greeted her Happy Birthday, she said she almost thought I forgot her birthday because I usually call at 12mn and the only people who called her were my dad and my sis. I just laugh but I indeed forgot about it, Im such a bad son ha!, good thing I remembered it just in time. Anyway, my sis and I was planning to send her flowers through LBC, since I think they are now the ones that handles the flowergram, moneygram and other telegrams formerly the business of RCPI (correct me if im wrong k), but LBC was closed yesterday so I said ill just pray for her instead. I felt really guilty forgetting her B-day, even though I still remembered it, that I thought of just making a simple speech for her which she may never hear but at least I posted it here, well, here it goes: To the first woman in my life. Who provided the world another reason not to push through the plan of having a World War III. Who endured the pain of carrying such a big boneheaded, cute-looking baby for 9 months, the first time in her life. Who continued to endure everything from the moment she gave birth to the big boneheaded, cute-looking baby till now, that she still takes care of the still boneheaded but slightly fading cute-looking guy that is me. This is how I knew you and know you. We often fight about things I believe in that you don't but after the fight I learn from you more and eventually take your side. I don't usually enjoy what you call fun and say you're corny when you tell your jokes but as time passes by Im missing all of what you do. Im irritated by your nervousness about things, specially when it comes to money matters, stuff like asking permission when going on a gmik or staying up late and other stuff that parents do, that is why in filipino you are called "magulang", but I am beginning to realize that your actions are slowly becoming mine and your outlook in life is what I am slowly seeing. I am fearful because Im beginning to change but Im thankful because im beginning to change to be more like you. I may never say I love you all the time, forget to thank you or greet you on your birthday, have usual debates or even fights about stuff but remember that I am always thankful that I have you as my mom and it is worth more than the world could offer me. Happy Happy Birthday mom!

For our glossary: Cannabis: Also known as marijuana, draw, blow, weed, puff, shit, hash and ganja. Cannabis is a natural substance, which comes from the 'Cannabis Sativa' plant. It is a mildly hallucinogenic dioecious plants whose main active ingredient is delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC.It either comes as a solid dark lump known as 'resin' or leaves, stalks and seeds called 'grass' or as a sticky oil. It can be rolled with tobacco in a spliff or joint, smoked on its own in a special pipe, or eaten. There are different strengths of cannabis, eg skunk which is very strong. Cannabis is a Class C drug, but Class A penalties can apply to the oil. P.S. kindly cast your votes on my poll just below the chat box.
