Patience is a virtue

"Patience is a virtue."

That's one trait I would love to learn but as the saying goes you can't teach an old dog new trick. I will definitely win as the most impatient person in the world. I easily lose my temper and when that happens, I don't even want to be near myself.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I've heard the comment "ang liit-liit pero kung magalit akala mo kaya magpatumba ng napakalaking tao" or something along those lines not only from my friends but from my family as well. To be honest, I hate myself when I'm mad. It's like I'm being possessed by an evil spirit. One thing, I curse a lot --- my dad would probably slap me in the face once he hears me utter those words. I also tend to break or destroy things. And when I'm really, really angry and I'm trying to control my emotions, I always end up crying.

And I hate that.

I hate myself.

I hate myself coz I hate a lot of people right now.

Hope this day ends NOW...

TheOne

As always, you're the first thought that comes into my mind the minute I woke up. I wonder if you're still awake at this ungodly hour or you're having the best time of your life sleeping.

As usual, I'm having a hard time getting a cab in going to work. I'm wishing that you're among those people driving their car and you'd stop by and ask me to get in and bring me to the office.

I check my e-mail and scan the name of the senders --- coz it's from you, I'd definitely read it first.

Calls, calls.

First break.

More calls.

My phone beeps and I cross my fingers and hope it's from you. Wow! you still remember to text me from time to time.

Lunch.

Calls, calls, calls and more calls.

I can't remember when did we last talk to each other. I wonder what's up with you. Lemme check out your friendster. Hmm, nothing new.

Last break.

Time to space out and dream about you.

Time's up.

Finally, end of shift.

I always pass by Glorietta and I always play these scenes in my mind...I, bumping into you and US having a late lunch or just hanging out in Starbucks.

Or...

I, waiting for the bus (one of my faves from eheads) in Edsa and a car suddenly stopping in front of me and asking me for a ride home. Who else, but YOU!

And when i get home, I login to YM and see that you're online already. I expect us to make small talks.

dreaming about her.

As usual, I'm having a hard time getting a cab in going to work. I'm wishing that you're among those people driving their car and you'd stop by and ask me to get in and bring me to the office.
Wish some more. You're probably fast asleep coz you're dead tired from bringing her to and from work.

I check my e-mail and scan the name of the senders --- coz it's from you, I'd definitely read it first. Oh yeah, I almost forgot...you're pretty tied up. No time to even check your email. Much more, send one.

My phone beeps and I cross my fingers and hope it's from you. Dang! it's that annoying text msg from Globe again. Man! can't even remember the last time I got a text msg from you.

I can't remember when did we last talk to each other. I wonder what's up with you. Lemme check out your friendster. Hmm, nothing new.
You're still In a relationship. Honestly, I do check your page everytime I login to friendster and everytime...you break my heart.

Time to space out and dream about you. ---
That's all I can do.

Time's up. ---
Will it ever end? My pain, that is. I am no angel and I do admit that sometimes I wish for your relationship to end. But I know how much you love her and hurtful as it is, I still wish you happiness.

I always pass by Glorietta and I always play these scenes in my mind...I, bumping into you and US having a late lunch or just hanging out in Starbucks.
But the truth is, I sometimes dread passing by Glorietta coz the scene that keeps playing in my mind is, I, bumping into you and your girlfriend. Enough said.

Or...

I, waiting for the bus (one of my faves from eheads) in Edsa and a car suddenly stopping in front of me and asking me for a ride home. Who else, but YOU!
I just wish that you're near Ayala Edsa around 2 or 3 in the afternoon.

And when I get home, I login to YM and see that you're online already. I expect us to make small talks.
But then again, you're busy. So I'll just let you be. Don't worry. I've accepted the fact that you can't make time for me.

Another baby boy in the family

Yey!

I've got a new nephew. His name is Nathaniel (his parents haven't decided yet on a second name) and he was born last Tuesday, Nov 16th. He's so cute and he looks like my brother. May cleft-chin pa (trademark daw ng mga gwapo sabi ng kuya ko, haha!) .

Lakas talaga ng dugo ng daddy ko.

I have six brothers and now I already have three nephews and one niece.

Hmm...I wonder if I'm gonna have a baby boy also for my first child. :-) It doesn't really matter whether it's a boy or a girl just as long as the baby is healthy.

Not again

We were supposed to go to Puerto Galera tomorrow to have our long-delayed team building but because of our "factory-worker salary" plans have again changed. Arrgh!

I'm not happy. I'm getting frustrated.

When will we ever have a "real" team building?

Power-tripper

Was on my way home and was waiting for the bus to leave when a group of MMDA officers (those in blue) signalled to the driver to open the bus. The driver politely told the leader of the group that there was already an officer in the bus. The leader got irked and raised his voice. I didn't really get it at first, but it turned out that the driver was refusing to give them a free ride. This made the man in blue madder. He was shouting at the poor old man and bullying him. He called the driver "madamot" and even threatened to hit him. I think what made him so pissed off was because the old driver was so composed. He was just trying to explain that he'd be reprimanded by their Inspector if there are a lot of officers in the bus. But the jerk-in-blue would not listen. He even said "tingnan lang natin pag nagkita tayo sa Almar...kung makaasta ka ng ganyan"... or something to that effect. The other officers just told him to let it go and so he got off the bus. I saw him talking to the conductor of the bus. I was not sure if he was also giving him a piece of his mind. Kupal talaga. Umaapila pa ata, ayaw pa sumuko.

Truth is, I wanted so much for the jerk to hit the poor old guy coz I wanted to report him and have him arrested. But it's a good thing he chickened out also. Takot lang nya dahil andami namin sa bus na makaka-witness ng kagaguhan nya.

I hate those kind of people.

I'd be a hypocrite if I say that I don't like getting favors. But I would know if there's a need for it and I would not force someone to do me a favor if he/she is not willing to do so.

One needs to know that most of the time, NO means NO.

---------------

Had lunch with the "dead" guy earlier. He said that it was just his way of making lambing to his friends and he didn't think that the joke would be taken seriously. Weird. If I wanted to make lambing to my friends, I wouldn't "kill" myself. And how can someone not take death seriously? Oh well.

A very bad joke

It was almost four in the morning and our shift was about to start when the news broke out that a friend had died in a car accident. Text messages were sent out to friends confirming the bad news. Naturally, we cried when we found out. I was trying not to cry since we have not yet verified if it's true or not but I was already having goose bumps all over my body. I usually feel this if something is not right so I was not able to control my tears. I cried.

It turned out that it was just a joke. A very bad joke. It was not even funny at all.

The guy was just trying to find out if his friends would cry for him once they found out that he's gone. I don't really know if that was just it or there's a deeper explanation, but one thing's for sure --- I don't wanna buy it. I'm sorry dude but it was really uncalled-for, it was so not right. I don't really know how to describe it.

I hope and pray that you're not gonna do it anymore, or do anything of the same kind, or worst do something that would really hurt you. I am telling you right now --- a lot of people will cry, will be hurt and will feel pain once something bad happens to you. I just hope you know why.

Trinity Kayl

"Done. 10:38 lumabas. Gcng ako all throughout. Girl!!"

Got that text message from Kaka a lil past 11am. She finally gave birth. Yup, finally. She's been waiting forever to get the cute lil girl out of her tummy. As in ireng-ire na sha pero hindi pa feel ng baby lumabas. Mana na agad sa mommy --- pasaway! Pasaway naman talaga ang mommy coz while she was in labor she even managed to send text messages. It's as if she was not feeling any pain at all. Add the fact that she was awake all throughout. Brave girl that. But of course knowing Kaka, she was not just brave but she was also her naughty self. Haha! Censored na pag pinost ko dito yung text message nya.

Am happy for my friend and at the same time I envy her. She now has two beautiful kids - a boy and a girl. Her eldest, Baron Tristan or Ethan is actually my inaanak. I'm not really sure where Kaka got the name Baron, but I'm pretty sure where she got Tristan. The baby girl's name is Trinity Kayl. I was really touched to find out that my friend didn't change the name of the baby. A month before she was about to give birth, we were pissing each other off in chat. As in inaasar namin ang isa't isa sa YM. As a result, my friend said that she'd name her baby Trisha Kayl instead coz she said that Trinity is such an ugly name plus it reminds her of my Christian name. So I was really surprised when I found out that she didn't really change the name. Kaka just said that para makapang-asar. I must admit I did feel bad, but it didn't last. It's her kid anyways and she still named her Trinity Kayl. Hehe!

I love kids and I actually wanna have one now, but I know it's not yet time. So I'm just gonna be content first with my niece, nephews and of course all my inaanaks. And to Kaka and Dudie, congratulations!

A day in the life of ...

I didn't go to work last Friday. Though it was my second day, I'm not like the other girls who grimace in pain everytime they have their period. I was not really sick or anything, I just didn't feel like going to work. I figured I still have four more Sick Leaves (SL) left, so why not take advantage of it. Right? Right.

Team Bali
I'll definitely miss my team once I decide to leave (that is, if the company doesn't find any reason to force me to resign first). I love Bali - that's my team's name. We're like the trend-setters in the company. We were first to have team meetings once a week, sometimes even twice/thrice a week. We even complained that it was too much and we were telling each other that how come the other teams are not doing it (of course, this was behind our sup's back; but she eventually knew about it coz we told her so since the team was that open and we were all friends). We were also the first to check our everyday stats after shift. We had our own team chat room that the others were surprised to find out about. And we were also the first to conduct a team building activity. The others just followed suit.

End-shifters
Our shift is at 3am-12pm. That's the last shift for the CSRs. Since a lot of 'em are coming in, they cannot accommodate us all at the 29th floor (for CSRs). End-shifters take calls first at the 27th (TSRs) or at the training rooms at the 28th (HR Ofc). This is the price we have to pay for being the pioneers, not to have permanent seats! If we're taking calls at the 28th, some sup would joke and ask their own team to occupy another room since they wouldn't want us to set (bad) examples (especially to the newbies). Then around 5 or 6am, we are asked to go up since the earlier shift would be going home. Everytime we'd go up, we'd always hear comments like "nandyan na ang bali, maingay na naman eh!" or "sabi na nga ba nandyan na ang bali eh!" Admittedly, we talk a lot and we just can't seem to stop. The only problem is we talk in the vernacular. Tagalog kung tagalog ito - and that's not allowed. Yup, loud and proud. Offense #1.


Happy team
Not one of us is excited to take calls and talk to irate customers, especially if we weren't able to get enough sleep. It's a stressful job. But still, we look forward to going to work everyday coz we don't want to miss the fun of being with friends. My team is a talented bunch - great conversationalists, great dancers, great singers. So even if we're really pissed off and we're having a bad day, we still know how to turn things around. We joke around, make fun of each other, tell stories, sing and dance. All these we do on the floor, even if someone is in a middle of a call. Laughter would soon follow. The funny part is, we all have this weird way of laughing and that would just make us laugh even more. Next thing we know, we're being told to hush it by the sups on the floor. Offense #2.

(Over) breaks
We are a tight team. Everyday, we would take our two 15-minute breaks and lunch together. I think we were also the first to do that; you know, have team breaks together. We can't seem to get enough of each other that even our rest room breaks are synched. We have noticed that the breakers have been trying to give us different scheds. They can't break us apart. If some of us were given an earlier time, we would try to get another call and then would log out a lil late. Or we would just take it at the given time and then extend our breaks. A good 15-minute break would be extended to 20, 25 or even 30 minutes. That goes for our lunch too and for our rest room breaks as well. We are only allowed 10 minutes the whole day. Hellur! Paano kung balisaw-sawin kami?! We couldn't care less. We just want to spend our breaks together and have a lil fun. Offense #3.

ACW
In the call center world, aftercall work or ACW is the time allowed for an agent to document his call. This is only for 30 seconds and after that the agent must log in again to take another call. It doesn't matter how short or long the call is, you still have just 30-second to make notes. Aside from our legal breaks, that precious 30-sec is the only freakin break we are allowed to get once we log in. It's not even a "break" break since we have to document the call. And I tell you, that is so not freakin enough! Naturally, we would exceed the 30-sec limit. Come on, who doesn't?! Even if we're done with our notes, we would space out or just have some time off. They would have to understand that we know this is our job and it's a part of it. But they also have to understand that it's really tiring and mind-draining. Sorry, but sometimes we don't really care about those stats.

There was also this time that Cherry cried coz Rich and Eric were ganging up on her. Alex, the man of a few words told us to click on "make busy" so that we wouldn't get any call and initiated a group hug. That was so sweet. It didn't last long coz one of the sups shouted "Aftercall!" Offense #4.

Irate agents
Offense #5. Yup, we all lose patience and we do raise our voice and we do curse. The last one, we make sure that we hit on the Mute button first. We can't help but be irate coz almost all the customers are being difficult, unreasonable and racist. Not to mention those stupid ones. Others are even threatening to sue us. Go ahead, make our day!

Pasaway
I'm sure they would always find faults in us. And they would also find ways to commend us. We don't really care if they call us "mga pasaway" coz we know we are. I, myself, can be a certified pain in the ass. And I don't deny that. But don't get me wrong. We can be cooperative. We know how to compromise. We appreciate the things the company is doing for us. It's just that we don't think it's enough. So don't blame us. I'm not saying that being "pasaway" is the right way to get our point across. But if it'd make any difference, I'd be pasaway anytime.

Bad day, sad day

I hate this job! This is really a very bad day. One of my friends here in the office was forced to resign. Fuck! That is so freakin unfair! She was asked to resign coz she was caught cursing over the phone. What makes it so unfair is she was not cursing anyone, not even that stupid customer she was talkin to. I don't wanna elaborate anymore since this is really difficult for me. All I know is my friend made an honest mistake. That's all there is to it! Fuck 'em all!

I am now 10 minutes overbreak and counting. Hell I care!

Books, books, books

My friend Janice asked us to go with her to Powerbooks in Greenbelt first before going to the Big Dome to watch the UAAP Cheerdance Competition. She was going to buy a book for her friend and since I miss going to Powerbooks, I immediately said yes. OHSI, the company I worked with before I entered the Call Center world, had a partnership with Powerbooks in Pasay Road, Makati. I enjoyed the times that we had to go there to conduct Usability Testing. Whenever I'm at Megamall, I always make it a point to drop by Powerbooks and finish the two books that I've started reading. And when I'm at ATC with Leizl, I always tease her that I'd stay in Powerbooks first since she'd have her cigarette fix. But of course I wouldn't do that and she would not let me. Hehe! I just love going to Powerbooks.

I enjoy reading but I think what I like more is the feeling of being surrounded by books. It gives me a different high. I dunno but sometimes even by just looking at the cover, I'm tempted to pick the book and finish it off. But I'm not really a voracious reader. I don't read all the time. I actually have to convince myself that I don't have enough time to read. The last book I read was "To Kill A Mockingbird" and I finished it the last week of August. It was a good one and instantly became one of my faves. I prefer reading the classics but I also enjoyed the Harry Potter series. Books that have girl power theme are funny and interesting but I don't think those are the books that I'd spend money on. I'm also not into self-help books or into those chicken soup for-what-have-you. I think those are hard-sell, but it's just me. But then again, it's all good. Books will always be a good source of fun and knowledge. I'll always be interested in reading as many books as I can just as long as I have time.

Right now I haven't started on a new book yet. Any suggestion?

UP Fight!

Saturday. My West friends and I decided to watch the UAAP Cheerdance Competition at the Araneta Coliseum. Rich, who's from UP Diliman, called up Ticketnet and UP and she was told that the tickets were being sold at 510 pesos. Man, that was too much! Tickets were originally priced at 110 bucks but it came with a Gift Cert for 300 bucks. We weren't interested with the GC so we decided to watch it at home instead.

Sunday. Rich was told that the tickets were back at 110 pesos. She asked us if we still wanted to watch it live and we all said yes. I was excited since I always wanted to watch any UAAP game or in this case, the Cheerdance competition. But I was also hesitant since we weren't really sure if there were tickets left. I told Rich that Paranaque is a long way from Cubao and I'd rather see it on tv than miss it. She joked that we can go to her place to watch it but she also confirmed that there were tickets.

Rich got first at the place. She was already in line and when we met her, she told us to fall in line and she'd just go to her UP friends who were at the other side. Baka raw kasi mas madali ang pila don. Every now and then, she'd check on us and one time she told us "wala na atang ticket." Coming from work and without enough sleep (we've been up since 11pm the night before since our shift was from 1-10am), that was definitely bad news. Not to mention that it was so hot and we were falling in line that didn't seem to move at all. Our excitement was starting to fade and we all felt like going home instead. Rich went back to her UP friends and after awhile texted us that there were still tickets. Then came another text. She told us to leave our line and go to the ticket booth coz it's almost her turn. While we were finding our way to where she is, one of the guards told them that they can fall in line on the other side. Rich saw that the line was shorter so she left her place and went to the other side. It turned out that it was for general admission, meaning, sa pinakadulo ka na nakapwesto since libre lang yun. She went back to where she left off and the guard would not allow her. Her friends were allowing her to sneak her way through, but the guard was adamant. And so was Rich. When we got there, Rich and the guard were having a heated discussion. The latter was saying that since she left the line already, she couldn't go back anymore and that she needed to fall in line again. Of course that would be the last thing on her mind. She argued that he didn't make it clear that it was for free and she would have not stayed in that line for a long time if she was not willing to pay for it. The guard still said NO! Rich was furious. She was now cursing and shouting at the guard. The guard was shouting back. Rich would curse and shout even harder. She was really fighting with the guard and when she got hold of the rope, she lifted it and ordered us to get into the line. No one dared to move. "Pasok!" Rich shouted with more force. It was like something hit us and made us move forward. All of a sudden, we were all back in line and was almost near the ticket booth. I didn't dare look back at the guard coz I was so scared. Until now, it's a puzzle for me why he was arguing like a mad man before but never asked us to step out of the line when we crossed the rope. Maybe he just decided to let it go.

We actually had a hard time looking for Rich since there were lotsa people. Cherry even asked me to go back to where we were before just in case we wouldn't find Rich, but I told her that I couldn't do that. We left without saying anything, we couldn't go back just like that. I know for a fact na maldita at mataray ako but I wouldn't be able to defend my case if someone protested. So when we found Rich fighting with the guard, we all got scared. Though I agree with her that it was the guard's fault, I was so damn scared we might get hurt, that I was willing to give it all up. I told 'em that we'd better just leave. Good thing, they didn't listen.

When we got our tickets, we rested for awhile and got a hold of ourselves. Rich told us what exactly was going on her mind at that time. She said that she could only think of me and how she wanted to make sure that I'd be able to watch the show and wouldn't let me down. She wanted to fulfill my "goal" since I've been wanting to watch any UAAP event. Rich also thought of the fact that I live in Paranaque and there was no way for me to catch it on tv if we go home at that time. So she did what she had to do. She stood up and fought for her rights - even if it meant fighting with someone who had a gun! A true-blue Iska ng Bayan! UP Fight!

Although UP was only second to UST, we were so pumped up! The tension we had felt before was replaced with triumph, joy and positive enegy. I, personally, felt so much happiness and was so thankful to Rich coz she was willing to fight and sacrifice her own safety. All for a friend. For me. I love you mah friend! :-)

Wishful thinking

Kaka and I watched "The Notebook" almost two weeks ago. I liked the story but am not really into it. I didn't even cry - well, I almost did (but can't remember now which part of the movie.) I don't really believe that it will happen in real life. "It" here refers to you and your first love ending up in each other's arms. Maybe for some lucky couple it will, for some it won't. But what I really liked about the movie is the feeling of hope, faith and the unconditional love it imparts to the viewers. It will definitely feel wonderful to experience that same kind of feeling.

I've read somewhere that it is alright to dream - especially when reality gives it a push. Although right now my reality is saying otherwise, I am still here...dreaming on.

August highlights

A month of not blogging...

Busy? not really...
Nothing to write about? I guess, hehe!

First Friday of August - my friends from the office and I went to Malate and party til the wee hours of the morning. It was my first time to go out again and have fun. Have fun, I did! I danced til my feet hurt and I was out of breath. That was most welcome.

A week after, my OHSI friends and I decided to get together. It's been quite a while and we wanted to dance the night away also. We decided to go to Ortigas kahit na limited yung options since it's near my friend's house. At least hindi kami mahihirapan umuwi. Watering Hole was already packed and we really didn't like the place. Wala na rin ibang bar dun na medyo ok. I suggested that we go to 8th Day Bar in El Pueblo and they all agreed. When we got there, we all had a laugh coz the place was a big mess. The bar was nowhere to be found kasi nagiba na yung place. It's a sure sign na outdated na talaga ako sa mga gimmick places. Waah! Malate was not an option since it's kinda far from Ortigas, so we decided to go to Makati. A friend suggested that we hit Strumm's, but when we got there, the place was already SRO. Arrgh! Considering the fact that it was Friday the 13th, all the night spots in Makati were packed.

It was I/O KTV for us. There was nowhere else to go. It was our first time and we had a blast! We sang our hearts out, we couldn't care less even if we're out of tune! I don't really sing when I'm with other people coz I really suck. But since I was with friends, I sang my hearts out. It felt sooo good holding the mic and singing (or was it shouting) my blues away! Hehe!

I figured it was my only chance.

Video-okay
Most of my friends from the office can sing and almost every payday we drop by Digi's to chill out and of course, sing. But during all those times, I just lip-synched and just let 'em do the singing. I don't have the courage to go to the stage and embarrass myself. I know they're my friends and that they won't laught at me, but still it's not my cup of tea.Every now and then, I'd be up on my feet dancing - then back on my seat again. I'm always hesitant to go with them but since I'm gonna be with friends, I always end up going. And I have no regrets.

The Village
My West friends and I also watched "The Village" by M.Night Shyamalan. We wanted to watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind first but since we wanted something scary or atleast something that would make our heart go jumping, we saw the former. Majority liked the movie, while I got disappointed. I'm no movie-critic, I don't even know how to write one. All I know is that I didn't like it. The plot is nothing new to me, I'm pretty sure I've seen it done before. And truth is, it's a love story first and foremost. I was expecting to get scared out of my wits, but I was not. If I wanted to see a love story, I should have watched another flick. If there's one thing though, I liked how the lead actress portrayed her role coz she was so effective.

Asking for something like the movie "The Sixth Sense" isn't too much, right?

UAAP
I'm a big fan of basketball and I know that one of these days, I'll be blogging about it.

The first time Ateneo and Lasalle met, the Ateneo won. Second round of eliminations is about to end, and this time Lasalle beat the Ateneo. Man, it sucks!

I'm not an Atenean (how I wish!), my school is not even part of the UAAP. But I am a big FAN.

Got to believe in magic

I've got the hots for this guy the first time I saw him. He's cute, astig in a cool way and medyo tisoy - one of my weaknesses. Good thing, hindi siya semi-kal or else I'd think that he's perfect. He's perfect alright but during those few encounters that I've had with him, I didn't feel my heart leaping with excitement. Maybe it's because he has a girlfriend already. Maybe. Maybe the encounters we've had are too brief. Maybe. But one thing I am sure of --- there was no magic! Oh well! He's still 100% eye-candy and I am not complaining.

Clueless

Six months. Six long months. It's official! I am now a regular employee in a Call Center here in Makati. I never thought I would last this long. My friends even predicted that I would stay for 2-3 months and then I am OUT! Well, they are sooo wrong!

This is actually my second time to work in a Call Center and my friends had their reason for making that prediction. I only stayed for almost 2 months on the first one. I live in Paranaque and my office was in Ortigas. I had an 11pm-8am sched, a stuck-up dude for a coach, teammates who had worlds of their own and tools that would not work when you need 'em the most. Not to mention, I didn't really like the way the company manages it's people. I worked as a Technical Support Representative (TSR) and I must admit, I am no techie! There were times that I would say to myself "How would I freakin' solve your problem? I don't even know what you're talkin' about!" Imagine taking calls for almost 8 hours trying to solve the computer problems of not-so-friendly customers. There was really no time for me to space out. Add the fact that I was always feeling dizzy everyday. I went to the doctor and she said that I had low blood pressure and that I was anemic. It was too much for me. I felt so exhausted. So go figure!

It was easy. Don't get me wrong - I've made some friends! I had fun with my Accent Training and Product Training teammates, but most of them were from the morning shift when we started Operations. It was really different with my new team. I didn't feel the "vibes" (whatever that is!) I wanted to give it time but I was just so lazy. I wanted OUT!

I decided that I would never work in a Call Center anymore. It wasn't much of a happy experience for me. So you can just imagine the reactions of my family and friends when they found out that I accepted a job offer from another Call Center, exactly a month after I resigned from the first one. They advised me to get some rest first and to ponder on what I really want to do with my life. And then they made bets! Haha! That really made me laugh.

So what made me accept the job? I don't really know. I am not even sure why I am still here. Give me six months. Let's see if I'll be able to figure it out.
