to the people who were with me during the product training; during that time, we were really into adrenalin rush. we shared notes, we shared answers, we even gave comfort and confidence to each other. and that was a good thing to know, considering that we came from different backgrounds and environments. rio, rose, mabs, maritel, cindy, jackie, king, danny, cannie, sharon, christian, rhea, allen, and dennis, and to our ever-supporting trainers: andy, bernz, and most of all, nikko! y'all rock! thank you, thank you so much for the great help you rendered. it really paved my way to be in this industry. thanks~

lastly, to my team: Virgins of Eden; what can i say, you are the best! couldnt ask for any other team aside from you guys. we really have gone through a lot of trials. from the inevitable changes of the scripts, to the team standings on the floor. we really did the best as new agents during those times. not to mention the unforgettable journey that we made to olanggo. remember that? hehehe. wayne and marj(our daily topnotchers), gina(my first seat-, chat-, cheat-mate), kent(the seeker of my bloopers, oh, and also gina...hehehe), venus(the bearer of candies), cathie(the temptress...hehehe), bernard(the patronizer), cannie, jen, vince(my dial-turned colleagues), sharky(the natural english speaker), mae(the promoter of the name of the team), glenda, arlene, and ryan(my short-time teammates), cindy(my new seat-, chat-, cheat-, and now, release-mate...LOL), gwen and mary ann(my shorter-time teammates), nathan(the accent guy), lyra(my annoying, yet best POSE-scorer mentor), and last but not the least, almira(the holder of truth, the bearer of my status, and, longest-patient Team Lead)...whew! that was hard to define...to all of you guys, my hails to you. you were magnificent to be with. couldnt ask for more, not even pepsi. I love you guys, and you surely are gonna be missed.

4:45PM - WELCOME!!!

oh well, we can never really tell what comes into our lives. you see, when i woke up today, i received a text message coming from my eldest sister, telling me that my other sister has already given birth to a healthy baby boy. actually she already had it named "Marc Andrew" since me and her husband has similar features. and well, i declare this day, as my first day as a certified uncle! darn~ im getting old. hope i could touch my nephew with my own two hands. but my sis is scheduled to come back next year so i wont be able to see my lit'l nephew until he'll reach his 1st birthday. oh well, i guess it wouldnt matter.

when i asked my mom how it feels like to be officially a grandma, she was just complacent about it. but i know, she was really very, very happy. i can see it in her eyes that somehow, she has the feeling of excitement and accomplished. accomplished because she was able to raise us 5 siblings well. with the struggle that she has been through, finally she reached into this point where we need not worry much on financial matters, unlike before.

so to you Marc Andrew, welcome to this world!!! i cant wait to meet you!!!

4:06PM - duh...duhduh...duhduh...

its 3:53 in the afternoon right now, and im sitting here in my workstation, waiting for a call to come in. usually, we dont get much calls at this time. but if youre lucky, you will get one. hehehe. oh well, i guess i dont have anything to do right now so, i decided to put a new entry in here, and hopefully my OT will be finished by 4, coz i need to go to ayala for some matters. important matters. oops...bilis ng oras, i only have 5 minutes left before ill log out of the callmaster and HRIS as well. though i had a regret coz i didnt start in the morning taking calls. so i only have 4hours OT. pero its ok, its just that i badly needed the money to buy my desired phone, and hopefully i can have a grip on it before classes start. right now i only have a tiny savings, coz i spent most of my salary, and i dunno where i spent it. weird, huh? but, its happ'nin' right now, so i guess i need to double-time this time. sad to say, im still one-eighth of the desired amount for me to get hold of the mobile. but, im crossing my fingers and hopefully, i can achieve it. well, actually, my sis decided to send her husband's mobile, its a motorola v400, and i really dunno how it feels if i have the actual phone, but once i get a grasp on it, then that would be the time for me to tell if its a good phone or not(for me). ok, just give me the right to brag ok? coz this phone is not yet here yet...so, here it is...take a closer look

8:29PM - beat me nga...

4:47PM - bzzzzz.....................

as in, i dont have time to login this journal of mine. its a good thing i have this time. well actually my shift has ended and i stayed here for a while to surf the net for free. neways, i went into this quiz. actually i dont have any idea why i took it. maybe i just wanted to unwind a lit'l bit... so here is the result



What Breed of Dog Are You?


koi, you're a Bernese Mountain Dog!

No bones about it, you're a good-hearted, people-loving Bernese Mountain Dog. Down-to-earth and loyal, no one works or plays harder than you do. You put your nose to the grindstone when it really counts, but you never neglect your social calendar.

oh well, i guess it somehow coincide with my personality. =)

2:09PM - anonymous...

im sittin' right beside my friend, here at work. his name is wolf in the lj. i'm barging in his calls, and sometimes im taking it. its fun, but still nerve-racking. newayz, as of the moment, less calls are coming in, so wolf has the time to surf the net, including the lj. he posted a new entry...(THANK GOD!) i mean, maybe he wasnt able to post an entry for years...welcome back iyaan! so here i am, sitting next to him, using this pc that is suppose to be used by live agents, but since im barging in wolf's calls, and there was no one sitting here, i might as well have the opportunity to use it. actually, my colleagues are in the training room, doing nothing. just surfing the net also. we are still on transition period. we cant go live not until the wave 7 goes live...all of them. so basically, we will be going live hopefully week after next. looking at the callmaster, there were no queue calls. as in, ZERO! so, padayon mi sa amo gipangbuhat diri ni wolf. SURF! sayang, walay chat. hehehe. well anywayz, at least we still have free access to the internet though. i guess that would be enough reason to stay here and work, while waiting for the next school year to come. hopefully, be taking up nursing.

7:33AM - a little chit-chat about Sheryn Regis and the rest of the divas.

i browsed in one of the comments posted and i came across with this conversation. it went like this:

Date Posted: 02:26:13 01/10/04 Sat
>>>>In reply to: Ike 's message, "Kyla and Nina and Sheryn" on 02:30:39 01/06/04 Tue

>mataas at mas sustained pa din yung kay Regine. Sayang
>natalo siya ni Eric Santos.

Naniniwala ako na madedevelop pa ni Sheryn ang voice niya at malamang mas magaling pa siya kay Regine. Magaling pa siya magproject.


>>>>>well.. regine is far better than sheryn during her bagong kampeon days.
>
>Naniniwala ako na madedevelop pa ni Sheryn ang voice
>niya at malamang mas magaling pa siya kay Regine.
>Magaling pa siya magproject.

>well.. regine is far better than sheryn during her
>bagong kampeon days.
>>
>>Naniniwala ako na madedevelop pa ni Sheryn ang voice
>>niya at malamang mas magaling pa siya kay Regine.
>>Magaling pa siya magproject.


>>>>>I think Sheryn will last for a few years and then fade away. Yung pagproroject nga nya ang nagpatalo sa kanya. Kasi para syang nasa stage play--obvious na kumakanta lang sya project ng project wala EMOSYON. At ang quality ng voice nya pag hindi kumakanta ng belting songs --di maganda. Unlike Regine na "malinis" maski pabulong kumanta ramdam mo emosyon at "malinis" as described by Lani M. Si Sheryn Regine clone kasi ysa at parang wala syang packaging na maganda to stay long in this business


>>>>>Sheryn did a very good performance in the grand finals. but ur all correct she doesn't feel the songs.... but i bet you all in hitting the hi-notes feel comfrtable siya compared to suffering regine isn't it?


>>>>>Wel, Sheryn still has all the time to develop and her talent as a singer is just sprouting. She's beginning to be at home with showbiz. Kita naman sa mga hostings niya at sa mga performances niya sa SIAM at ASAP. She may have lost to Erik Santos, but I feel that she will rise higher than him because of the numerous fans that supported her and even gave her the title as Texter's Choice. She may have made a mistake in the finals, pero kung ano yung ipinakita niya for the past 8 weeks of SIAM already established her as an upcoming diva. Marami na ring nagsasabing mas sisikat siya kay Erik.

As for Kyla and Nina, basta ituloy lang nila kung ano yung nasimulan nila. Kyla's unique approach to music and Nina's prowess and talent will keep their neames on the hall of fame.

As for Regine, NOTHING BEATS THE SONGBIRD. Period.


and here is my comment:

you are all right guys. we can argue as to who sings better from one diva to another. but what we can't argue is that they have their own styles. basically the main reason for that is the quality of each of their voices.

to the names mentioned, i dont have any biases whatsoever with them. i mean i admire the way they perform their own winning pieces. As a cebuano, we love music. As they say, cebuanos are music lovers. again, im not being bias, and i should say sheryn deserve to have the blessings she is having right now. mind you, i personally talked with the gal as we crossed path in one of the fastfoods here in cebu, and she's really nice. with teary-eyes, and a cute smile, she just willfully said "it's ok. i have no remorse whatsoever with erik. we all did our best and we all deserve to win. but we all know in every contest, there's only one winner. and he did."

all i can say is, it is what God has plotted to happen in their own separate lives as divas, right? bottomline: they are Filipinos and we are part of their success whenever they attain glory from the globe.

10:20AM - destiny

last saturday morning, i woke up at around ten o'clock. my lola was washing the clothes while my mom was out to see my cousin. together with her was my tita. the peeps who were only left in the house were me, lolo, lola, my 3rd sis, and my cuzn arrived latter at around 11.30. my cuzn went to his room immediately and took a nap. my sis, my lolo and i were watching television at the receving area. and my lola was left at the washing area. when i was going towards the bathroom, i just saw my lola lying down on the cold, wet floor. she was trying to grasp for air. i was shocked, coz during that moment, i realized that she slipped over. its a good thing she didnt hit her head on the wall. damn i was so worried. i called my sis to assist me, and told her to call our cuzn to help us out. my lola was in total pain. she couldn't stand and her right limb is painful.

we called our mom, and by that time, we were able to transfer our lola from the washing area to the living room. we let her lie down and rest. and made her feel calm. its a good thing she is not hypertensive. she was just a bit dizzy during the fall. i guess it ouwld be normal. and, take note, she wasnt able to scream the moment she fell. its a good thing i went there.

so now, she's now lying down at chong hua hospital and she is scheduled to have an operation tomorrow. there was a discrepancy that was found in her right limb. /me crosses fingers. hope she gets well soon. her birthday is almost near.

speaking of birthdays, wanna greet my sis, PHOEBE, a happy birthday. she's getting old, but the way she talks, it never grew old. wa ghapon buot. hahaha.

12:41PM - Absolutely a Nerve-racking experience!

well, i just came from my break right now. but before my break, we were told to listen to live calls upstairs. and when we got up, i came across with a friend of mine. so i decided to barge in, in his calls. and when i was about to get in, he just had a call, a live one. so when he was finished with it, he told me if its ok with me to take the next call. at first, i had inhibitions but my friend insisted that i would be taking the call. so i said, "ok? but only if you will be the one responsible on the documenting process." so there, i answered the call. and take note, its the LIVE one. damn! it was really nerve-racking! or so to speak. i just had my first live call. i dunno how it really feels, but one thing's for sure...i was really uncomfortable. not to mention the tension that i am experiencing during the call. well it's a good thing my friend taught me what to say, and directed me to the tools that i am going to use.

bottomline: i dunno if i was able to resolve the issue, but the call ended well. damn it feels great. like, by the time the customer says, "i guess that would be it." somehow it made me feel that i was able to help him with the issue.

*it pays well to be an agent. damn! can i be a trainer instead? /me frowns.

12:25PM - What a relief!

today, at this very moment, i officially ended my mock calls with the mentors. i have passed three certifications and all i need is a certification coming from live calls, or shall we say, "Nesting." yes, i still need the live, but for the record, i have finished my mocks call with the mentors which for me, is somehow a shallow relief. but then, come to think of it, it's still a relief for pete's sake. that explains why i was able to enter a new journal. /me blushes.

right now, to be honest, my idea of nesting is still vague. i dunno how it would go through but i guess it would somehow be similar with the mock calls with the mentors. well, what are these mentors for, right? to help us capture what will happen during the live. but there really is a great difference between the mock calls and live. mock calls are too flexible, i mean, we can just end the call and go through the call again, while in live, we cannot do that. not unless we have the intention to make the member irate. hehehe.

now, me and my colleagues are planning to have a beach party this sunday. it's a plan still, and we still need to get the approval from the rest of the guys. i dunno if its going to be possible. /me crosses fingers.

7:51AM - Sunday bliss.

Last saturday night, me and my colleagues from the company that i've been working went out to have some fun, and we went to the Metropolis(in guadalupe). There we had a videoke session. we drank, ate some calamares, and sang songs which were classical for some, and a hit, to the mature ones. time went fast, and i haven't noticed it. i grabbed a bottle of beer, and afterwards, we had a "tagay" of a long-necked Tanduay rhum. hell it feels good to be tipsy. i mean, you have the courage to speak, and do whatever you wanna do that you can't, when you're drunk. i can't remember how many times i have sang songs, but all i remember was, i held the microphone the whole time.

after our session, i decided to go to ayala center. i guess that was about 2 and three quarters in the morning. we all went out of metropolis simultaneously and i immediately took a cab for me to be able to get to ayala fast(well i guess there's no other way for me to go ayala at that time).

damn, when i arrived at ayala, it was great. in as much as i wanted to share what happened, but its a NDA(Non-disclosure agreement). bitaw, i just had a great time after sa ayala. and i never expected it to happen. great weekend. and i only had one bummer. actually there were two. first was, i was scolded by my mom. i went home around 11am in the morning. and second, i had my hangover.

10:51AM - Funny Story.

Ey guys! check this one out! it's really humorous...

A young man signed up with the paratroopers.
He went through the standard training, completed practice jumps from high
structures, and finally took his first jump from the airplane. The next
day, he called his father to tell him the news. "So did you jump?", the
father asked.

"Well, when the sergeant opened the door and asked for volunteers,
about a dozen men got up and just walked out of the plane!"

"Is that when you jumped?"

"Not yet. The sergeant started to grab the other men and throw them
out of the door."

"Did you jump then?", asked the father.

"I'm getting to that. Every one else had jumped, and I was the
only one left. I told the sergeant that I was too scared to jump.
He told me to jump or he'd kick my ass."

"So did you jump?"

"Not then. He tried to push me out, but I held onto the door.
Finally he called the jump master, who's about six-foot five and 250 pounds.
The guy took his penis out and it was about 10 inches long and as big around
as a baseball bat! He said, "Boy, either you jump out that door, or I'm
sticking this up your ass."

"So did you jump?" asked the father.

"Well, a little.... at first."

10:58PM - up and rising.

when was the last time you had your great sexual intercourse? if you'll ask me, i guess for a month now, or so to speak. my libido just keeps on rising each day that i don't have one. damn! why is this normal to the male species?! i received an email from a colleague of mine describing men. there, a lot has been said about the gender. i couldn't remember what it depicts there, but im sure it really fits the description.

kainis naman oh! ba't wala na akong intercourse? pucha!

11:36AM - mga higala, kahibalo ba mo???

kahibalo ba mo na ang inyong pilok, sumpay sa inyong lubot. sulayi og ibot ang buhok sa inyong lubot, di ba makapiyong mo. og sulayi og ibot sa inyong pilok, di bah mo-isa inyo lubot.

no, serious. its like this...kahibalo ba mo na: last nyt, at about 5:30 in the afternoon, my best friend and I decided to meet at ayala by 6. So without hesitations, I took my bath and dressed up for me to go. When I arrived at ayala, I arrived there around 6:30. I texted my best friend and told her that I’m already in the rendezvous. Coz she told me that she’s would still be changing her outfit, I decided to play around Timezone and spent almost 300 bucks. At around 7:30, my head just popped because my best friend didn’t arrive still. It’s like, “are you coming or what!?” so I texted her again, asking her if she’s coming. And she said that she already is in the jeepney. And so I replied, “Ganina pa man ka diha sa jeepney! Mouli nalang ko oi!” And the rest was history. I blew out. When they arrived(coz Jeff and Herby were with her), the whole surrounding was a mere vague picture for me. My vision darkened and I really didn’t say a word. I just kept on flicking my cig and puffed some smoke. There they were, standing right beside me. They look confused, not knowing how to approach me. The place was quiet. I never noticed the people passing before me. All I was thinking of during that time was how to deal with her. And a line just came out of my mouth which went like this “kabalo ka, kung naa pay mas grabe sa patay na giulod, ako na nah!” and her eyes went deep. I dunno if she felt sorry for me or not. But I guess she did. She just kept silent for many seconds, until I disturbed the spur of the moment. I laughed with great burst and my best friend just had a great confusion. /her is still silent. I rode with her silence and tried to contemplate over the situation. For a minute or so, I finally asked them if they wanted to get in Ayala, coz it’s about to close. And I didn’t get any response. So what I did, I directed them inside and went to Timezone.

I need not tell you the details on what happened after we went in. but the bottom line was, we were able to patch things up, and she promised me that she will never do it again. Coz if she does, lintik lang ang walang ganti. Hehe. Kidding. I just hope she won’t provoke me and test my patience.

10:11AM - Mag-unsa na ta??? whats next?

Well...look at me during my Product Training now...chatting with colleagues! i couldn't seem to get what the trainer is trying to discuss. and mind you, all of my colleagues who belongs to nikko's class didn't get the lesson as well. so here i am, looking at cannie and sharon. and while i was chatting with the two, rio(my seatmate) just clicked her camera in her mobile! whoa! nice shot!

8:33AM - sudden changes

monday, jan. 19, 2004 23:30:00

viewed the coronation night of Miss Cebu telecast. actually i was just waiting for sheryn to sing. and she sang at around 12:3+ na. so i slept almost 1. well i guess all i can say with regard to the pageant is that, it was average. i mean, the whole show was ok. though the stage was too dry.

tuesday, jan. 20, 2004 05:05:00

woke up. damn! i usually wake up at 4. but now, since i slept a lit'l, i was able to get up at 5. so what i did, i took a bath for 15 min. dressed up for 5 min. fixed my hair for 5. did the furnishing for 10 min. then off i go. i was suppose to take a cab, but then when i was waiting for a cab, a mandaue jeepney passed, so i took the ride instead.

05:53:34

logged in at the HRIS. whew! that was close. it's a good thing i was able to make it.

06:10:00

got in the training room. our training room with nikko. and bernz came in and told us if it's ok if we merge with her class. i guess we can't do anything about it.

08:30:00

here i am now, sitting in this chair in bernz class. its our break so i was able to jot down this entry. oh well, i guess i'm doin' ok now.

12:15AM - Rrrreallly????
