hear me if you want to.. disregard this if you wont (an office scene)

If there is someone who needs to understand your stress level due to work, that should be your workmates! Despite of the deadlines, rules, directives and work stuff, they should always know that all employees are bound for stress and hunger in which sometimes 

Everybody knows that rules are rules. Responsibilities inside the office are well ruled-out to everybody. From silence and EOPs, to bottles of drinks and foods , WE ALL KNOW THE LIMITATIONS!

What had happened just last night was a case of unfairness and inequality. I have been treated different from everybody else. Why is it that everytime i bring some tummy stuff in my station, someone would always react that way? How come others can and i can't? Is their a fair judgement on this ground? 

========================================================

Truth is, i may have been one of the playful staff but i know my limitations thus certain times i would better keep my mouth shut rather hving it played all through out my shift coz i know it might cause trouble for me alone. I maybe a bully-type but tend not to fill my temper co'z you will end up begging for forgiveness. And i maybe, bullying around but i know when i have crossed the line of my limitations. 

=======================================================

How come some people are so not true in the office? Why not just shout in my face that they don't want to see me? I don't want to see you either! Period. 

=======================================================

Be it not because i am just the quiet type why you keepon diggin' on me. I am a good friend but im the "most evil" of all enemies that you can have. So whats the case of befriending me if you just want to laugh at me? Would you care and allow me to laugh the way i want to laugh everytime i see you?

=======================================================

God, i don't even like you and you have the guts to come to me and ask for help? FUCK YOU!!

=======================================================

im starting to hate the environment more!

file insubordination!

file termination!

file resignation!

The hell i care with those crap! its just a piece of paper that i can throw out or burn. 

======================================================

back off!

Work Sucks.. But We Need It To Live

I have read one of my friends blog and yes i was with her when she said that work nowadays are putting us in total boredom. Gosh!

When was the last time i smiled on my way to work? Hmm.. let me think! I can't remember a day when i put a smile on my face becasue of work. Well maybe coz stress has first crossed my mind before preparing it for the war with numbers and people. My mind is occupied with thoughts about what would happen during my shift, what lies after my shift, escalations, rude TLs, kulit agents, lunch break, smoke break, whom to go with, who to talk with, what to talk with and what's new today.

Let's all say that you have landed on a nice job with a nice pay and nice people to work with but, are these reasons enought to go on with it? Can this suffice us with our crave to live in a way we wanted to? Will we be still productive after hours of stress and minutes of mind boggling numbers turning you into a total idiot? 

It has been a daily routine to check everything: data, staffing, OPEs/OPAs, directives, toggling, reporting, escalations, chatting. Enough with thos usual stuff. I want it different every other day. Is it possible?

Oh my! the words above may be jargons for some but for people whom im working with, they know what im trying to imply. And i know how much they feel the same way i am. 

Are there jobs where in we are only paid to eat, sleep and play? 

I hope there is and there was. IM all sucked up to Glee, i hear ya. Good thing we could always have some thing that we can bring to turn our stress into worthy music times. 

Gosh! the feeling of being there but not being there. Work sucks, but we need it to live. 

Juris occupied a man's thoughts

Its weird but cool. Im bound to boredom when i decided to get myself some fag in the neighboring store. When i passed by this 2 guys, whom i dont know, one was humming a song without a lyrics and it puzzled me coz i know in me that i have the idea of what was he humming.

its 6:30 in the morning. Black out due to power supply was cut in one electricity pole nearby our area. and i heard it would be back by the afternoon.

I got a fag and sipped some on my way back to my pad and i passed by this 2 guys again. now the humming was gone but the guy had sung the song already with the lyrics. I know it. Its Juris' "Di Lang Ikaw" song and it brought a smile inside me.

How will i not? this guys is singing a girl song in a girl tone with a big body. Weird but cool.

I started to sing along with this song in my mind and was never erased until i decided to post a blog for it. so her goes the song.

the Korean Crave .. shhshh

 Oh My! can't seem to get rid of the Korean Crave. I just went to the market this morning to buy some set of another Korean sopa operas (series). I have Snow Angel, A Love Story in Harvard, Green Rose and i got to check the title of the other DVD cd i bought. HEHEHE.

To know more about the Korean Drama history, i tried browsing the net and came up to some pages and sites that caters ariety of information. My eyes were stucked in this pages:

http://www.asianinfo.org/asianinfo/korea/korean_dramas.htm#A - this is were you can find the list of Korean Dramas from numbers to letters, 1-0 to A-Z. i don't know if its complete or not but i guess it is.

http://koreanfilm.org/tvdramas/index.htm#palace - this is a site catering the latest in Korea, what's shown currently ant they have some reviews on this page as well as list of korean drama that you can read anc choose.

http://www.koreandrama.org/?page_id=479 - reviews for some of the greatest and most watch Korean dramas. 

Can't crave for more but its such addicting to see fantastic plotting of stories that only Koreans can do. 

Well, i despise the fact that not all Korean dramas are good to watch co'z i need to see and experience what's inside the film first before judging.

right now im caught between Green Rose and Coffee House. I dont know what to watch first though i have already watch the first 5 episodes of Green Rose and the first 4 episodes of Coffee House. 

I'm hooked and i just love doing this at this point. Its better than seeing myself in drinking sites. LOL. the safest wat to sepnd my rest day.

The Korean Crave (Cinderella's Sister)

Cinderella's Sister  

-also known as Cinderella's Stepsister / A Modern Story of Revenge, is a romantic and melodramatic TV drama in Seoul, South Korea, under KBS network. It first aired on March 31, 2010, and ended its broadcast in June 2010. It has been aired under the title Cinderella's Stepsister on KBS World, which broadcast it across all its major international networks a few weeks after its Korean premiere.

Synopsis

Eun Jo (Moon Geun Young), who lives with her mother since years ago (and also her mother's lover), finally gets a new family home when her mother remarries to a kind man who owns a winery. At first, she denied it, and even attempted to escape rather than dealing with the attempt of being schooled. 

The cynical Eun-Jo is unable to accept the affection of her new step-sister Hyo Sun (Seo Woo) and step father Dae Sung (Kim Gab Soo). Hyo Sun with her bright character is the apple in her father's eyes and the clear favorite in the house.  

However, Eun Jo finds a friend in Ki Hoon (Chun Jung Myung), a college student working at the winery who becomes her own prince. Ki Hoon eventually leaves to take care of personal issues, but Hyo Sun's jealousy of Eun Jo causes her to make Eun Jo believe that he has abandoned her. The three reunite 8 years later to begin the main plot - a modern adaptation of Cinderella with a twist. 

Jung Woo (Taecyeon), a boy that Eun Jo considered her little brother 8 years ago, appears in order to be near her and fulfills the role of a "fairy godmother" to her. A love triangle forms when Hyo Sun falls for Ki Hoon, who is still in love with Eun Jo. The feeling of betrayal lasts with Eun Jo, creating misunderstandings and difficulties. However, the kindness of Eun Jo's stepfather (Hyo Sun's father) begins to change everyone's lives, making this a tale of growth and redemption.

  CHARACTERS

• Moon Geun Young as Go Eun-jo/Song Eun-jo

A cynical and blunt young woman. Eun Jo is good at hiding her emotions and does not get attached to people easily. She is skeptical of her stepfather's kindness; however, she later realizes that it is genuine and this realization begins to break her hard exterior. Eun Jo is in love with Ki Hoon and is hurt when he leaves, leading her to be cold and reject him when he returns 8 years later.

• Seo Woo as Go Hyo Sun

A gentle and bright girl who has been treated like a princess her entire life. However, she is lonely and becomes excited when she learns that she'll be getting a new mother and sister. When her new family members are different from what she expected, it takes a toll on her. Hyo Sun is slightly spoiled and becomes jealous of her new stepsister.

• Chun Jung Myung as Hong Ki Hoon

Gentle, handsome, and kind, Ki Hoon sees much of himself in Eun Jo. However, when his difficult and broken family situation causes him to leave the winery, he disappears, leaving Eun Jo a letter that she never receives. Ki Hoon returns 8 years later and appears to be a spy for his evil step-family's company, but not everything is as it seems.

• Moon Suk Hwan as Han Jung Woo
• Taecyeon (문석환) as Jung Woo (adolescent)

Jung Woo is the adopted son of one of Kang Sook's ex-lovers. Eun Jo is the first person to care for him when he was a child, which creates a deep affection for her. Jung Woo finds Eun Jo at the winery 8 years later in order to be near her and declare his love for her. Jung Woo is selfless and reliable and always cares for Eun Jo.

 ========================================================================

I say:

It's so good that i have to sit down for up to 6 hours to watch the episodes. The great twists has been remarkable and the love stories are greatly plotted. I just love how the story was done with many complicated plots but ended up well and has all the justice in every scene. 

I would say this one great Korean Drama and will be a part  of my favorite Korean series. 

I hope that ABS-CBN would be able to franchise this series. ^_^

The Korean Crave

I got to be dreaming but i know im awake. it has been months now since i'm hooked with Korean movies and soap operas. Do you know why? Co'z they've got the best plotting of story. The twists are great and the characters are really portraying what ought to be portrayed.

Most stories always ends up in happy ending but Koreans has not got the passion of ending their stories happily. Well, they do sometimes. Its jsut that most of their stories are ended tragically. One character should die or the two lovers will never be together but will still be a good ending.

I am a frustrated writer. I wrote stories before but it would always end happily. i mean total happiness. I tried writing a story once with a tragic ending and I killed the girl in the story but it doesn't sound so right and i don't know how to make it appropriate for the story.

Now im searching on the net on how to learn speaking and writing in Korean way co'z i don't want to depend on subtitles on DVDs the next time i ahve myself stucked watching Korean stuff..

Anyone who is willing to teach me how to speak and write basic Korean? i would appreciate it.

An Ode to My Father (on his Natal Day)

For occassions like this, i would always miss those fun and laughter gathered together to celebrate such as a day of my father's birthday. September 17 marks another year added to my father's life. Its suppose to be a celebration of love and happiness for another year passes by for him. If only he was still here then i could utter such word as "Happy Birthday, Tatay!". "We love you and be happy on your day".

Yes he has passed away last April 10, 2010. That was the last time we saw him. The last time he spent his life with us together in this world. Those brave eyes that i would not dare forget co'z it have made such a remark to me. To  fierce eyes that have played a great pride for a father named ROMEO C. EREZO. Those eyes have been our gateway to discover life. Co'z because of his eyes he left a mark of a bright future for me and my siblings. 

The last time i touched those hands always reminded me of the strength he possess. Those hands that has carried the Erezo family. Those hands that has played a great part in bringing up hope despite of failures, courage despite of hindrances and fighting spirit despite of troublesome moments. His hands has been our light and our saviour when coping with the life's strifes. I would always feel those hands. 

My father is the greatest of all. He has been an idol for his friends. HE has been a star for his family and has been the bravest soul in the eyes of God. 

Its roughly 5 months now. His soul might be around our family and he always sees us and watch over us. He is still protecting us with his hugs through the winds, his tears with the rain and his laughters with the sunlight. We miss him. 

To my beloved father, ROMEO EREZO, this is my only gift that i can offer on your birthday. The simplicity of this gift are the mere words written on this ode but laying on it is the truth that I, (we) are still remembering you always in our hearts and minds. Your journey has been passed to us to complete and with arms wide open, we are hugging this new beginning of our family. A beginning you have started and will soon be completed.

We love you and we will never forget you. YOU are the greatest among all fathers for us. YOU have completed us. YOU have bestowed us the life that we never expected. YOU have played our shelter through the storm. YOU have played the voice when we can't speak. YOU have been the book of our life as you have shown us the different chapters of how to go on and persuade everything that we can. YOU are our soulmate and you will always be our BELOVED HEAD OF THE FAMILY.

I Love You Tatay and may this day does not mean the end but just another year for you to accomplish task HE has given you. Consider this day as another book  you are opening and soon to share to us. 

Happy Birthday and May you always stay happy and all our tears flowing down from our yes today are happiness that we are sharing with you for a great life.

We miss you and please always be around for us.

Looking Forward for a Better Christmas Jingle (Station ID)

 i have grown up now with ABS-CBN and i kind of like everything that they would come up for the station, for the artists and for their shows. Needless to say but they truly reigns the TV station number 1 spot in the whole archipelago (sorry GMA but we need to consider the whole archipelago and not just NCR in which you claim to reign over ABS-CBN). And, we also need to consider the fact that the most worldwide known station is ABS-CBN. You came in late in spreading the GMA to the whole world. You don't need to push on extra efforts to be seen all over the world. They know you too its just that ABS-CBN have already evaded their TVs especially the overseas filipino workers. 

AY!

Well, the reign will start again when the new christmas id jingle will be aired on tv for both GMA and ABS-CBN. YOu can compare last year's jingle and see who's got the best Christmas Jingle.

Who's got the best jingle? Who's got the best beat? Who's got the best message regarding Christmas?

Ofcourse one that has the best stars, the best ideas and the best station. Guess who!

Allergy Attack

I was so happy coz its my rest day after 5 days from of working. I have plans to just stay at home and do some chores. 

Breakfast time. My colleagues went to a "carenderia" to buy something that we can have for breakfast. Fried fish, my favorite "tuyo", chicken and sunny side up egg. I picked the fried fish and "tuyo" but never did i know that allergy would attack me after eating those. 

after i have eaten those viands, i feel like im burning hot thus asking for more water. My head is exploding i am hearing my heart beating so fast. Fast that i am so scared that this would be my end. Well, those times i feel like im all soaked up with hot water and thought that maybe i was just to sleepy so i asked for some comfortable blankets before going to bed. one of my colleagues notice these on my skin: (pictures below)

Red spots starts to appear on my skin so i was puzzled. The first time that i saw these spots was way back ages ago when it was my first time drinking a GIN. so i may say i am allergic to gin and this time to some kind of fish. 

I thought that it would only last for about 15 minutes so i decided to just leave it alone. I busied myself with whatever chore i can do and yes all the spots were gone.

Then goes after 5 minutes, i feel burning hot and started to see some red spots coming back thus i told my colleague i need something sweet so that i could vomit those food i have taken.

I tried to

Waaaaaaa...

I texted all the nurses and doctors whom i know and i have 2 replies from Gino and Medylyn. They both advised me to take some Antihistamines (Celestamine). Thus i told my colleagues tor un to the nearest drug store and get some of those. 

Well, i took oe before going to sleep. WHile my eyes were close, i can feel my heart running so fast pace and my head is like exploding at any minute. BUt i opted not to think about negtive things so i continued sleeping until i woke up at around 7PM. that was a long sleep actually. 

When i woke up, i examined myself. I feel hungry. My stomach is running with lots of air that i can hear it shouting. 

Tried to open up our cupboards and look for something edible. Got a cereal. Whoala! hunger feed.

Every now and then i tried to check my skin if red spots are coming back again. Im afraid that it might come back and i dont know what to do especially that i am all alone at our pad. 

Thinking about what we have eaten tthis morning. I realized that the fish i have eaten was the same fish i liked everytime we get something from that "carenderia". Actually, the fish that i ate just this morning, on my first taste, there is something that i can't explain and its some sort of itchy in my tongue. I decided not to consume it all though so i carried myself with the "tuyo". 

Huhuhu.. What a worst case if no one is living with me. I should have been gone crazy if no one can run for me to get some medicine. 

Lesson to learn for me. Never buy something out from that carenderia again. Never eat smelly foods. Medelyn told me that its better to prevent for this thing to happen again so i won't eat "MALANSA FOOD" anymore. 

I will never skip cooking for my own breakfast and will have atleast some milk and bread that would suffice my early morning hunger. 

I will never ever touch any food from that carenderia and will never set my foot on its vicinity. 

Lesson learned and kept, don't be fooled with what you see but whats inside. WHy? coz just this morning i was so tempted by that fried fish but haven't thought that it would bring me allergies that i never expected and have ruined my first day of my off.. 

HAYYY!!

another day coming. its already 3:00 AM September 15, 2010. 

Cant take some sleep thus Google-ing about food allergies, prevention and cure. 

better to kow what to do the next allergies may attack me. 

I got 6 more hours before taking the antihistmaine just to be sure that this red spots will no longer appear on my skins. 

it scared me to death. and this day gave me a lesson to learn. 

Be watchful with what you eat and consider things opted by your instinct. Its worth learning. 

Trippin`

After writing my first 2 blogs about the office experience, Pearl Yap, here's the third for this day. 

8:00 AM - trip to PASIG PALENGKE (Pasig Market)

8:20 AM - arrived at the the market to pick up some DVD movies (hmmmm you know what i mean when i say DVD in Pasig Palengke) Well, sometimes i often think that there are valuable DVD movies that you can buy especially if you know how to choose the right kind. I have been doin it for 3 years now. All those smell though has hurt my nostrils thus i need to vacate the place as soon as i got and picked good catch. Spent P485 worth, reasonable enough than watching the movie in the big screen.

9:10 AM - on my way to Meralco - Kapasigan to pay the electirc bill worth P1,772.85. WHOA!!! a lot of energies used for August! Hmmm... DVD player, Refrigerator, cellphone charger, iron, rice cooker, hair iron (or whatever they call it), PC, 2 desk fans, lights etc etc etc.. worthy enough? i guess no! I have no choice though but to pay the bill or have it cut until the next payday.

9:36 AM - roam around Tendesitas to pick some BRUNCH and ended at Fat Butchies. Sinigang na baboy, liempo and salted eggs with raw tomatoes. SLURPP! hunger coped. 

10: 05 AM - went to SM Hypermart to pay the Sun WB at P779 and Maynilad bill at P158. BILLS ALL PAID!

10:09 AM - the Newsbarber stop to get some haircut.. 2 inches taken from each starnd of my hair. Kuya Barbero was really a "suki". I like it when he works on my haircut. He knows what i need and he perfectly knows how to be left with a good tip. HE is so accommodating too and what i like about him is that he remembers his customers and exchange conversation with them letting you feel the ease being on their barbershop. Enough with Bench fix. I figured it out that im paying too much for a stylist who never really cares whats it with your hair. All they care about are the prices of the haircuts and the services and some big tips from rich customers (but not me..i ain't rich).

OH! i liked how Kuya Barbero massaged my head. He has given me some free facial and scalp massage and i really would love to sleep during those times coz his hands fit my every stress head and veins. LOL.  

Well... here i am now at home and trying to get some good movies on TV and maybe try to get some sleep or end up awakened by Chona in the office.. geez.. 

Keyboard parks in the meantime and be back soon.

Take This

Pearl Yap

This is "Love". Her name is Pearl Yap. Wonder why I blogged her in my page? Co'z i am eyeing at her. She is one simple and pretty girl. I met her way back 2005. We already have hung out together with our common friends. Well, i tried though but it seems i am not seeing a positive answer if i would pursue. We are just friends. We talk. WE share secrets. 

She is a nurse in a hospital in our Butuan City. She is planning though to broader her horizons and soon will see herself in either Dubai or any country that will give her way to pursue and continue working as a nurse. 

Just a bit about her. I guess, i am 5 to 6 years older than her (I don't know). Love is her nickname so somtimes people mistook her guy friends as his boyfriend if she called by her nickname in public. I call her Pearly, Pearl and sometimes Love. 

We share one common friend and thru this friend, i was really thankful. Well, i can say that she is the last girl that i eyed at. 

She use to listen to my programs, send messages while im on air and requested for songs and, alas!, we have the same type of music. Well, as far as i remember the last song i shared to her was Gloria Estefan's, "Words Get IN The Way".

I miss talking to her, chatting with her and i miss those late night conversations thru exchanging SMS. 

I miss her. :)

all in a day's work

So goes another day of work. all hyped until the end of shift and seems like work has been a play for everybody.

whoa! what another day wasted but worthy.

LOL

Nimmy, bring in some Manilyn Reynes and Tina Paner song later.. LOL..

oh oh oh!

Another boring rest day so i decided to download songs and tried to browse more artist. Well, i stopped on a website that caters OPM (Original Pilipino Music) artist and songs, www.tristancafe.com/music. AS i browsed and scanned the subjects and info in each page, Sharon Cuneta's name appear on my thoughts thus trying to look for a song way back that reminds me of my Ate and her friends. SHe likes this song and she influenced me to like this song despite of the bitterness inside the song. UNtil now this will always be one good song that i could listen to and some other Sharon's song.

 

Mahal Kita, Mahal Mo Siya, Mahal Niya ay Iba
Sharon Cuneta

Sa iyo'y umibig ang tapat kong puso
Ngunit ang mahal mo ay kaibigan ko

Ang aking kaibigan may ibang pag-ibig
Ang minamahal niya ay hindi ikaw

[Chorus]
Mahal kita, mahal mo siya, mahal niya ay iba
Mas mapalad ka mahal kita
Sa 'kin walang nagmamahal

Kay gulo ng buhay di maunawaan
Sa pagmamahalan lagi nang may hadlang

(Repeat Chorus)

Kay gulo ng buhay di maunawaan
Sa pagmamahalan lagi nang may hadlang

(Repeat Chorus 3x fade)

If you happen to say that you are not familiar with the song, well maybe there really is an age gap between me and you. I mean, i am more older than you and i have heard this song i guess when i was still on my elementary year.

Just trying to dig the OPM songs i have listened around 1988 to 1994.. See?

My scent for September and OCtober

I run out of perfumes and colognes. I have an empty CK One Summer Keepsake Box for 3 months (picture below)

My Empty CK One Summer

Now, i am picking something that i would call my scent for September and October. I know how sweet this CK is and i would very much want to pick this again but everybody deserve some change though.

I happen to browse a brochure for again for perfumes and colognes and my eyes were just stucked to 3 choices that i could pick. Mmmmm. Pretty expensive but i know its worth the price. 

Let me check my pocket... well, kaching!!!!

I have my eyes set on this choices:

I have never tried any Givenchy products before but most of my friends would say that its worth my penny. 

Well, I just so love the smell of whats inside this blue bottle. I wore this since June and have it emptied by September. One of my favorites scents and it comes so handy and stylish to in a keepsake box.  Im still having my eyes set on this one co'z it's smell touches my nostrils still though i am not wearing it. Basically, i would still, bu chance pick this one for my Spe and October Scent. 

Well, we have 3 choices. CK one summer is one of it.

Davidoff Cool Water is my friends scent for September. He told me that the smell is relaxing and seductive. He have wore this for 3 months now and well, i may say that there is something about the smell that would make you crave for this to keep in your list. 

I'm still picking one that would suit my nostrils thougha nd migh be this one will if i got to see the sample. 

Help. I'm in a trouble! i know that these are worth keeping for but i onloy need to pick one. Which would you choose?

Quoting "I dont know"

"Be TRUE"

"Be Yourself"

"Express who you are"

"Be not what you are not"

Just some phrases that says about being who you are. Everybody wants to be listened. Everybody wants to be seen. Everybody wants a part of this world. Everybody wants to be on top. That's how everybody is thinking about themselves.

I just read a piece of info from a news paper and its somewhat like asking everybody to be true. Whatever the name of the newspapaer or the author, i dont know. But, it really dig me down to think that YES! everybody is acting weird. Everybody are trying to make a scene. Everybody is wearing a mask. WHY?

Its not about being seen and heard. Its about your individuality. Its about your talent, the greatest talent that you can share. It's about passion to do what you want to do and its about you. The real you who will never think about being this and that skipping the real tough journeys to be on that spot. 

Why do I always whine for people killing themselves just to be a part of a group? Or individuals who are trying to fit in a community which he does not belong? Or just a simple man who is trying to seek for a better position in a wrong way? Why do i always see this things negative? Co'z I have been there, done that and i end up unvictorious until i found the right way to be seen and heard. JUst my own way with no mask and no lies. Being myself. 

Pity for those who seek for the spot. Once you get there, its more pressure to push especially if you have still the plans of stepping another ladder just to be on top of everybody. 

Listen to this. I have a friend whom is so ambitious to be on top of the class. He studied, memorize everything just to please everybody and face them with confidence that he would pass the scholastic run. HE was almost there but everybody just found out that aside from memorizing and studying, he has got small pieces of paper of his pockets, CHEATS for his exams. Do you think he would be able to still please everybody after all? Its a crime to cheat and no one loves to be called as a cheater coz it just mean you committed a crime. 

Same as one of my friend. To fit in a group, he neglected his family. He neglected their status. He played a rich kid. IN short, he is wearing a mask. WEll, some of his friends are really were born with gold spoon on their mouths. Time flies, his friends asked him to party on his place in which he cannot do co'z he knows he has got no place for a party. ONe fine afternoon, he received a surprise visit from his friends and guess what? THEY are all surprised to see him working on with some laundry. Well, surprises can always mean a thing. HE played as the leader of that group but he is nowhere in the group now. He is now working in a department store as a Merchandiser (i don't know how to explain what a merchandiser is).

Well, i mean just being yourself, really, is one important thing we need to know about leaving and interacting with your fellow homo sapiens. Who knows, simple things will always have grand ending.

WHUT????????? CRAP CRAP CRAP!

Crap! Were upfront with our Broabdband subcription payment every month. WE haven't failed any bills to be paid. The current bill we have is due by the 19th but WHY ARE WE GETTING ERROR TELLING US THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BILLING!?!~?!?!?!!?!

Tried to dial Customer service number of my BB provider. MY first attempt, i waited for 11 minutes and all i hear are promotions and "All representatives are engaged... blah blah blah.. ". I have been patient still. When it was about 15 minutes, there ya go. I WILL DIAL THE NUMBER AGAIN AND WILL REALLY WANT TO HAVE THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!!???????!!!!!!!

Second Attempt.. 2 minutes... 6 minutes.. 7... 10.... another 15 minutes waiting for someone to accommodate my call. My mind was left with thoughts on what to do to someone who will answer my call... SUPERVISOR CALL? MANAGER CALL? Whatever it takes.. I WANT MY INTERNET BACK!!!!

God! it took 3 attempts for me to talk to a live person! (crappy queue) Might have been receiving volume of calls with people compalianing about the same thing as mine.

Rep:"Thank you for calling ... yada yada yada"

Me: YEs, please check our billing and i can confirm as well that there is no problem BUT WHY AM I DISCONNECTED FROM MY INTERNET?

Rep: Apologetic. Explanations.. Check the status..STATUS OKAY!.. check the area! Area Okay.

Me: oh so then what had happened?

Rep: Explained and wow good thing the rep was able to explain everything clearly. Apologize and whoala, my temper ws gone.

I called my colleague and advised to check the connection.. Evrything was fine. ugggghhh...

Good thing we were not able to get in the part wherein i would aks for " Can i speak with your Supervisor?Manager?" coz the rep was good enough to explain everything and admitted it was an error on their end.

QUits.

BB is running now... when i get home i Have my chance to play my games.

ciao.

S M O K E R ' S : PRicelisT WatCh-out

Some hearsay tells us that there was a bill submitted to the legislative body of the Phillippines and opt to be legalized about drastic changes on cigarette pricing per stick. As per the author of the bill, this could be one way of promoting this slogan "Government Warning: Cigarette Smoking is dangerous for your healtH" (We know!) And, maybe this would have minor's taking seconds though on going on with the vice co'z it would mean a lot to their allowances. 

As per the bill, cigarette stick would be sold for P7.00/stick (or so..), that would be P140.00 for a pack which is enough for a family's lunch (consider a family of 4). In this way, teenagers, young adults and minors will have a 75% chance that they could only smoke for a minimum of 2 sticks per day if we consider a high school student (who smokes) having a P20.00 allowance for snack (which usually goes out for smoking purposes) or an average of 4 sticks per day for average man who has a P50.00 share that goes out for lunch and smoking purposes). This is if we consider that these people are not from Manila or from a big city. 

Well, lets say this is a good idea (for me it is co'z i have been planning on stopping the vice) but will everybody bite this bill?

Think...Think...THink... 

What a day!!!

What a Friday to start my shift. I haven't opened my tools yet but a lot of task were already forwarded to me, endorsed and needs to be fixed and dealt with. Well, thats what work is all about but it brought happiness to me co'z it will have me think about work and not about the 9 hours shift that i will have.

it goes well though during The shift. our new Project Engineer has this stuff for us:

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

How about some doughnuts paired with coffee? Hmmm.. good idea.. the doughnut's sweetness will over-power the coffee's sugar. Good tandim though

just anohter angle... LOL... minus Dennis on the background.

Delicioussssssooooooooooo.. bite bite bite...

ohhhh.. hiding some treasure on the magic box? no no no... just something to chomp during leisure time. Ministop Jumbo siopao and some doughnuts.

Greatest combo snack: Marlboro (since Ministop has no stack for Marlboro Lights [gold]), Great Taste Coffee 3n1 (since Ministop has not stack of the Nescafe 3n1) and KRISPY KREME (coz GOnuts Doughnuts, Dunkin Donuts and Mister Donuts are not on the list [LOL]).

At the endy of the day, well actually just an hour before my shift ends, all tired out, exhausted, eye glasses surrendered, lighters up, cigarettes down.

Another day to live by. This day though brought sadness to us co'z Lovely is rendering her lsat day in Transcom. She will be starting a career in the other company thus, its sad to see here go though we are still happy for her co'z its a greener pasture that she has to take.

What a day!

Missing my childhood? No way...

It’s 2:00 PM. All that I have been up to this day until this hour was a total couch potato type of a person. I have the remote on my hands while lying with a pillow in my head watching DVD movies. The usual stuff I do during my days off. Six hours more and I will head to the office to work. Yes! Work, work, work. That has all that I have been doing ever since.

Well, time has really gone so fast. Yesterday, I was just like sleeping the whole night and now left with nothing to do still… “blorrkkk”.. says my stomach. So, I get up and tried to think of something to eat. To lazy to cook for now so I grabbed my coin purse and take out P15.00. One banana on stick and Coke “sakto” will do. Pretty weird combination but I love it.

I went to the store to pick up some banana and soda but to no avail. Thus, I change my mind and picked up this “chichirya” (junk food) and paid P10.00. On my way back to my pad, our neighbor whom we call Nanay Guring saw what was on my hands and started teasing me like “getting back to being a kid huh!” . I just smiled nad answered, “nah, just something to chomp while watching TV. The comment though has strike my thoughts, my kiddy years.

Where was I when I was a kid? What were the most unforgettable things that I did when I was still a toddler, a kid, a child? I don’t even know what had happened before. I can only remember one thing though I was still a kid, work work work!

It haves been maybe a pretty tough years for me to imagine about how was I when I was a kid. All I can remember are those times when me and my siblings have less time to play, less time for leisure, less time for watching TV, less time to roam around the city and more time on school and work.

We are raised by our parents, me and 3 of my siblings by then our youngest was not yet born around that time. My mom used to work as a dedicated mother thus my father is the one leading the family. He works for a small lumber company as a laborer. Thus this explains why we need to focus on school and help our mother to the works at home. We don’t have TV but we do have and AM/FM radio in which feed by a battery good to last for 2 weeks or a month (unless its Everyday Battery, last long). That’s all we got for a leisure time. Tuning in to FM station and listening to radio dramas catered by AM stations.

As a child, I would say that we never tasted childhood years co’z we are too busy to accommodate our mother’s errands. Wash, cook, sweep, afternoon nap and back to cook, wash and sleep. It’s only during Saturdays and Sundays when we can play along with the neighboring kids. We used to play “patintero”, hide and seek etc, the usual games that everybody grow along with. Our Sundays by then was spent according to our Sunday tasks. When we woke up, go straight to the bathroom and take a shower, dress up, come to the table for breakfast and go to church. After the church, we need to settle ourselves at home as our mother would scold us if we go out. We can only go out after the afternoon nap but by then it would be around 4pm and that means by 6pm we need to prepare for dinner. Pathetic but worth it.

Our friends have been wondering why we are not using so much of our time to play while we are still kids. They would always wonder why they are not like us. Well, that’s how they are raised. In our case, we are trained to be responsible co’z life has its limitations thus we need to know what are the things that are worthy and what are not. Our parents may have secluded us from the other kids co’z they know this kids have better future even if they are just out on the open and play whenever they want to. We are just an average family. My father’s wage is enough to raise his wife and children. At that point, we the kids understand what our parents have implemented to us.

I may have lost my childhood but I still know I was once a kid. So when I chomp these junkies in front of me, I always remembered those days that we are not able to do this when we were young. Everything may have come to us so late but I did not regret anything that had made me of who I am today. Childhood years may have been one of the most special part of everybody’s life but I could say it was still special despite of the less play, less roam around, less TV etc.

I always treat myself as a kid.

The Christmas Feeling

As i blogged previously, I always consider September 1 as the start of Christmas. Mmmmm... i can now feel the soft breeze of the christmas air.. feel feel feel.. NOw i know this means start to plan for the feast itself. Aside from going home to celebrate Christmas with my family, I need to list down now the names of my "inaanaks". You know these times are always critical coz even though you are too far away from them, they will find time to locate you in their own GPRS (their parents! shoots!)

Think Think think!!

What should i gave for a toddler, a 2 years old, a one year old that should be worthy enough for them to always remember needless of the Christmas time? Uhmmmm.. Lemme think? a pair of shoes? Toys? toddler shirts? Can't seem to figure out what's best to give them as a present coz i haven't seen them for about a year or so.

Christmas rush! Yeah, thats what i always does not want to see so as early as this time, itineraries are set and needs to be worked on before December. Listing the names of your "inaanaks" will always be a good start before planning on what gift to buy.
