wats with this sunday?

Sunday. I woke up with a text from Rina about Lucky - hmmmn, not so good.

It's just time to wake up and go to mass. I hurriedly went down from bed, ate and took a bath. We caught the 6Pm mass then headed to SM for some stuff that I have to buy as I'm preparing my requirements for my new job. i got an 8gig flash disk for less than 1500 - hahaha - cdr king's the best - lavit! i'm hoping the company gives me a lappy - hahaha, as most of the staff in the company has - it'll be nice to have one too :wink: considering i've been looking for one for some time now. :)

Lucky,
kung nababasa mo to - i hope everything's well. please balitaan mo naman ako./ kami. i'll catch up with you if i have spare time na - sorry, dami ko na utang na meeting with the rest of the remyxx. but you're in my prayers - love yah.

Sis,
Sorry - when everything's settled, I promise to visit you at your new place - shees, how exciting :)

THANK YOU LORD FOR EVERYTHING!!!
GOD BLESS US ALL

Pengeng Sleep

Grabe - hindi paren normal tulog ko and all. When my job hunt started and the interview/ exam schedules began, I've been having the worst sleep pattern of all. 5 hour to 4 hour sleep every day - I can take it but my eyes can't - black eyebags kung eyebags.

Anyway, I reported for work today because I was off last Wednesday. Not tiring at all considering walang pressure pag weekend shift. Pero nakakapagod kasi umalis ako last wednesday for my final interview so technically wala akong pahinga and still irregular ang sleep ko.

Can't stop thinking of my new job - hehehe.

Dum Spiro, Spero

and yes i hope, hoping and will still continue to hope as long as i live :)
my prayers and hard work resulted in success. finally, i signed the job offer that GXS has given me. it wasn't the same amount as i was asking but it was fair enough considering the OT pay, the reimbusible benefits i am provided with, the bonuses, perks and all - not to mention that i am the first ever local trainer of the company.

it was Friday around 8PM when i want back, for the fourth time!, at RCBC. went straight to 36th floor and prayed for the best while expecting worst. I was automatically greeted by ms. ever friendly carol and laid down the job offer. Right at the moment when she mentioned the salary - I've made up my mind - i'm signing. When she mentioned the other perks and benefits, it made me more interested though i had to read the contract all throughout. i kept texting mama, kuya and marvin na i'm signing na pero walang signal that time - so un, i kept the good news all to myself. hindi ako naexcite and all - kasi di ko naman lam difference ng perks nila although i can tell from the amount that its even triple from what i'm getting now. hanggang nung matapos ung signing - parang malamya pa ren ako - maybe lack of sleep. hahahaa!

after the contract signing, i immediately called marvin and texted mama. hay - head to work after.

the only thought that's running in my head - i am contented. i am thankful. i am still blessed. :)

i'm currently polishing my requirements para complete ang transition. i'm excited, happy, contented, anxious-nervous with all that's in store for me.

Best of Luck!

what now?

okay - my PC clock says 12:45AM and im supposed to be sleeping but instead.. here i am, blogging away. i couldn't help myself. maybe i blogged about my job hunt so much that it ended up na nausog, hay talaga.

i just got home about 2 hours ago, came from a night interview. it was all well and good. according to the manager who interviewed me, my facilitation and presentation skills were impressive. So setting of expectations, objectives, short and long terms goals kung makukuha ako for the job.

i am so into this company and into this position that i think my skills overall will definitely grow more. i am positive that this experience will mean positive achievement and more remarking accomplishment in my career. the only drawback, they find the salary that i'm asking a bit too high. uhmmm, eto na nga ba dilemma ko from a BPO company transferring to another random company other than Call Center. The decision of movement happened because of growth in career and monetary benefits that may come with it. The way i see this prospect job - it'll be a hell of a challenge, and yet hindi ka compensated well enough? Mali pa nga ata term ko because their benefits package daw is good, it's the basic na medyo hindi abot sa expectations. hindi naman ako naghahangad "pa" hahaha ng 3-digit salary --- sabi nga nila, "if much is given, much is expected" -- parang in this case, this is what is given but much is expected. but i so like the job - feeling ko super magiging hard work talaga to that will test my skills, aptitude, abilities, my potential to overcome 'any' challenges that may arise. pero parang hard work lang, pano ung pay off for a job well done?

hehehe - assuming naman ako. di pa naman binibigay saken ung trabaho. and wala pang job offer, but in case they negotiate with me, ano gagawin ko. i want to take the job and i want to have my asking salary - di nga yon mashadong mataas eh. :(

Lord, just clear my head with all the questions - i just want to see where you want me to be so i can go there. sorry for asking so much. pag future na talaga pinaguusapan, i don't want to jump at once.

hindi na tayo bumabata - i had to step up and work harder to become better in all aspects. bless me please.

random lang

bago pa magrestart ulet tong pc na gamit ko dahil saksakan na ata ng virus kaya restart ng restart magisa - gusto ko lang pong magupdate. what have i been doing na nga ba sa buhay ko mula nang magumpisa ang 2008?

ayun, narealize naren ng lola mo - who is ako - na wala ng patutunguhan ang karera ko sa opisinang kinamulatan ko na ng maraming bagay. napagtanto ko na hindi dahil nakaalis ako ng bansa dahil sa kanila e kailangan ko ng ipagpasalamat 'yon. ngek! maraming nakapagpa decide sa aken to finally move on and find a hopefully better opportunities.

nakakaloka ang 24/7. nakow, aminin na naten, imaginin mong mapagresign nila ang almost 80 people in teletech because they are offering bigger and better salaries and working opportunities. nako, kung pera pera din lang, wala ang teletech nyan. kung opportunities din lang, malakas ang politics at kung hindi ka lalaban, walang mangyayari sa pangarap mong karera ng buhay.

and so yes, i have been doing my job hunt. san ako nag-apply? san pa - sa jobstreet. ang first ever kong interview? hahaha, sa fuller life. pero dahil kelangan ko ng rehearsal and practice, aba syempre sinunggaban ko ung opportunity for exam and interview but i withdrew my application. sa malayong kyembular daw ako ipapadala eh, tuguegarao ata or sa aurora or sa timbuktu ba yun??!! e kaya nga ko aalis sa teletech, dahil ang opportunities nasa probinsya na - provincial pay pa. isasacrifice mo na ung family mo here in manila, pati pay rate mo isusunod sa probinsya - di na po. masaya ko sa manila kahit trainer ulet, at least dito lang sa tabi tabi. :)

sumunod na nagpa-interview saken is sykes sa ortigas, pero lam ko makati office ung position eh. trainer who will be conducting leadership trainings sa mga support - like tl's, qa's and other support and non agent position. hmmm, malamang sa oo - hindi ako kukunin. kasi naman, ala ako experience sa leadership trainings. merong isa - nag certify lang ako ng mga trainers, pero isa pa lang. un, nakapasa naman ng exam and i had two interviews din... but i don't know kung na-shortlist pa ko dun sa mga nashortlist na. pero keri lang, feeling ko hindi ako papasa sa criteria eh, di ko na din inaantay tawag nila. :)

lastly, isang IT company sa rcbc. eto talagang napa-wow ako sa company. few things pa lang naman nalalaman ko, pero mukhang ok. i had an initial interview na with the manager and a presentation sa isang kano. later ng gabi, meron akong final interview with another manager. syempre gusto kong makuha ung position, kasi parang nasa dulo na ko, tapos di ko makukuha. pero 50-50 ako. :( kasi ung kalaban ko sa position is a professor and has a masters degree. pag nagkataon, lahat ng efforts ko in will fly away. nakakapanghinayang in case i won't get it. but i have to be strong. job hunt nga eh, mas maraming pangit na mangyayari kesa sa maganda. ung magandang result will just happen once - and that will be your job. ung job offer na susunggaban mo talaga. :)

i changed my multiply layout ulet. pero kahit hiniram ko ung tagline ng BAYO na "Pinay and Proud" and "Proud to be Pinay" at kahit hindi na yan ang tagline ng multiply ko --- Pinay ang Proud pa din ako - hahaha. :)

I'm scouting for an XML template na to change this current blogspot template of mine. hirap pala magedit ng XML ah, in fairness. so hanap and super research pa din ako.

segway ulet, at kahit super job hunt ako, at dahil mahusay pa din akong empleyado, i'm currently running different projects with our company kahit gustong gusto ko na umalis. wala talaga silang masasabi sa performance ko nian ha. loyal pa din ako kahit ayoko na.

Si kuya, nasa Bacolod pa din. Pero alam ko two weeks from now uuwi na sya. :)

Ayan, ayan ang mga happenings sa buhay ko mula nung Enero.

I just thank GOD for the many reasons to be thankful for - my health, my family, my friends, marvin, the everyday blessings, to GOD for his being merciful, patient and understanding despite my shortcomings.

I couldn't GLORIFY you LORD more than my whole being. I offer you every goodness I have in my heart. Thank you for the LIFE.

Leap Year This 2008 :)

today is my presentation day. i am very very very nervous. considering nagahol ako sa pagbuo ng iprepresent ko. i was told that i might have 5 people in my panel today, so goodluck saken. armed with nothing but prayers, i went straight to makati. i came a bit earlier pa nga than expected. i'm for 7PM but i was there ar about 6PM - always early! (nice habit) anyway, carol from the recruitment team was very nice to accomodate me and show me around. finger print naman ang main door entrance nila, nakakaloka talaga. i was really dead impressed with the simplicity and sleekness of the office. all positions except for agent support staff are on laptops -
nice! anyway, i liked to think that I did well on the presentation - pero i'm not sure of course. the american who interviewed me and watched my presentation was very nice. it was about 8:30 nung matapos ako. tatawagan na lang daw ako either i got the job or not.

at kahit puyat, sige, pasok pa ren.

i thank the lord because i pulled everything through with grace. thank you thank you

thank you. :)

Every Minute Counts

my job hunt has begun. i know it'll be restless days for me but I never imagined something like this. monday was a holiday - i thought i'll have well enough sleep. i slept like 11PM last monday night and woke up tuesday 5AM. sykes requested me to be there from 8AM till 5PM. well, i said i'll be there by 10AM but my plan is to be there by 8AM. Hmmmm, i realized LRT will be a tough challenge considering that these hours are busy hours - so no. hindi ako sasabay. i was thinking exam lang naman to so i can still go back home and rest or sleep in time for my makati interview at 6:30pm. in short, nakaalis ako ng bahay ng 8am, off to exam at ortigas. nakarating ako just before 10am. 10:30 pala ung second batch ng exam - keri lang. after the exam, few minutes lang, me result na. i passed, fortunately, or rather i thought so. i was scheduled for an interview at 4:30pm. my head started spinning. may interview ako ng 6:30 sa makati, will i make it? im sweating like hell dahil sa lakad and travel so i cant go to makati wearing the same shit. i didn't want to lose any minute. at 12:30 noon, i decided to head home. i have to be back at ortigas asap. i was skipping the streets - i know. it took me 30minutes to reach edsa. sa lrt, i keep looking at my watch, i have to leave home at 2PM to be able to reach my interview on time. syet! tik tak, 1PM nasa lrt na ko. it took me another 30minutes bago makababa sa blumenttrit. i was hungry, sleepy and weak - and super sweating syet. good thing kae was home so i asked her to prepare lunch and food. i quickly ate and head for the bathroom. i had to freshen up. then i changed my clothes. this time im in long sleeves - syet, i tried to relax para hindi ako pagpawisan ng sobra. imbis na 2AM, nakaalis ako ng bahay 2:15 na. sauce ang haba ng pila sa edsa mrt. nakakaloka. pag naman nagcab ako - i won't make it on time, abutin ako ng 6PM
bago makarating sa pupuntahan ko. lakad takbo ulet. just before 4PM, nasa ortigas na ko. naloka pa ko, nagkamali ako ng sakay ng elevator. haaaaaaaaaay, baba ulet ako. hahahaha. in short, i made it on time for my 4:30PM interview, mas maaga pa ko than usual. the interview didn't even last for 20 minutes, hay naku... experience. i was tired and exhausted. wen i get to edsa, i decided to stop by muna, rest, eat and freshen up. merong paid washroom sa metropoint mall - gud thing! anyway, i had chowking lang for a meal in which naki share pa ko ng table sa iba. hataw ako sa text and all that. hay, after sitting for like 15 minutes munching for my food and all, i head down to the rest room to freshen up. after 15 more minutes, i headed to makati. i took a cab papunta sa rcbc.

the interview went very well. the moment i stepped into rcbc, wow, ganda. i feel hindi ako naiiba sa mga tao sa paligid because i was on long sleeves and business attire, hahaha. anyway. i liked talaga the ambiance of gxs. and then i realized naka laptop ung receptionist - ang taray! the manager who interviewed me was very nice. she really took time in reading my resume and evaluating my answers and all that. it was a pretty interesting conversation. after the interview she told me ill be presenting. whatever topic i find comfortable to present. fair enough i told myself. i crossed my finger and hoped for the best for the next days to come.
-----

there are many things to thank the LORD for today

- it's my kuya's birthday. even if he's far away, he's safe and doing good. :)
- there are a lot of things that can happen to me during the day but none of it happened - thank you lord for keeping me safe.
- i could have screwed up and be late and all that or worst maligaw, but they didn't happen, thank you lord for staying with me.

so kahit puyat, pasok pa din me sa office. :)

Free Monday

Today has been declared a holiday. No work! Those with classes lang ang me pasok, hehehe. Time to rest. Well, kae and I had a short visit to lazaro to buy something at national bookstore and pay my bills.

I scouted a sale white maldita blouse, hehe. pasara na nga mall, di tuloy ako nakasukat ng pants. mukhang maganda pa naman fit ng pants nila. anyway, enough of the gastos - hay buhay. I slept at 2am last sunday, and woke up at 5am, whoah. i don't know what's happening with my sleep time - grabacious talaga pag di makatulog, hirap. i have to meet up marvin early this morning because he's heading to lipa again for another 2 weeks of stay. he usually goes home every weekend but decided not to know. rather, he goes home every after 2 weeks or twice a month.

we had a short breakfast at jollibee then headed to the bus station. around 11am i'm home. i slept around 1:30 and asked kae to wake me up at 4am so i can sleep tonight. she woke me up naman on time and it was raining.

i have an exam tomorrow with sykes. hehe. yeps, job hunting. kelangan ng magmigrate. i wonder if rina gets to read my blog. i definitely didn't tell her para at least pag di ako pumasa sa interview or exam, di naman ako nakakahiya, db sis. hahahhaha :p i'm thinking of reporting to sykes early morning because i still have a makati interview at 6:30pm. sige ihataw ang job hunting. after this i don't know if i'll go to work straight or i'll go home pa to rest. we'll see na lang. i've been rehearsing na nga eh, hehe. for the interview itself. kaya lang naloloka ako. hindi paren nawawala ung pagkatense ko everytime, even if there's nothing to be nervous about. i'm always like this. i shake and looks really pale when i'm being interviewed - hahaha. ganito na talaga ata ako eh. please wish me luck. i need another job badly and asap.

Another Reason To Celebrate

It's our 30th monthsary today - the 23rd.

Just like the normal way we do it - we celebrated via malling and dining galore. The more accessible mall, the better. But MOA had been the usual place and glorietta is a bit out of the way pag uwian na. The next best thing? Robinson's Manila! They renovated their place and had been accessible since late last year. More stores are yet to open but you can see the BIG difference now. para silang Glorietta, err Greenbelt but newer and better.

Ayun, we ended up dining at Friday's. At syempre, dahil first time ko na naman, picture picture. :)

more pictures at my multiply site :)

masokista

adjective. pwede ding noun. katangian ng taong isang tao na ninanamnam ang sakit. kahit nasasaktan, sige pa ren ng sige.

please don't take it too seriously. iba siguro ang context ko ng pagiging masokista ko; or so I'd like to call my self. hahaha.

from the past shopping trips of me and my sister, hataw sa puyat kung hataw. nakow. there was this friday morning na naka VL ako. so morning ng friday, kelangan ko pumunta ng robinsons manila to caim my hsbc card. and because 7AM ang labas ko, i have to wait sa office for few hours bago pumunta ng mall. dahil naka leave ako, i didn't mind staying up late. then my sister texted me, wala din daw syang pasok but she's already in school - to cut it short, nagkita kami sa rob. after makuha ung sinadya ko; naglunch kami ng sister ko. then nagikot kami sa buong mall to scout for different laptops - as in we're seriously looking everywhere - here and there para maghanap ng mga OK. ayun - lakad dito lakad don. ako pa naman ung taong galit sa puyat. di bale na kong magutom paminsan minsan pero pag inaantok ako - patulugin mo ko. uhmm, wa epek ung antok. nagkukulitan lang kami and we continuously walk. sabi ako ng sabi ng pagod na pagod na ko sa kakalakad pero ikot pa ren kami ng ikot. after rob, nag SM san lazaro kami - to continuously roam and look around. parang kahit alam ko nang pagod na ko and ayaw ko ng maggala - sige pa ren ng sige. huwaw. at syempre, dahil masokista nga - aguy, hobby ko na ata. nagpasama naman sya recently sa MOA. abah - 2hours na atang naghahanap ng mabibili - in short naging 4 hours lang ang tulog ko. at kahit ayaw ko ng magikot ng magikot - nakuha ko pang bumili ng blouse sa sale - bwahahaha.

la lang.
happy shopping, shopaholics.

Spice Girls 12-date Farewell Tour

Sporty, Posh, Ginger, Baby and Scary Spice joined together to perform once again on stage for their dear fans.

The 12 shows were spread across 11 countries which started in Victoria's new hometown - LA - last December and came to a close in Buenos Aires.

These pictures were taken from OMG - Yahoo!


The Spice Girls perform to a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden. Their farewell tour is being cut short so the girls can focus on their families. Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, and Geri Halliwell all have young children to care for.

VL's Galore

I was off last week for two day, pumasok ng monday, thursday and friday. Same thing this week. :)
Happy and satisfied.

Holla everyone! :)

Valentines

To all the lovers of the world, happy valentines!
after all, we're all lovers right?

To all my loved ones, happy hearts. To my crazy loving boyfriend - happy hearts honey.

Four Years and Growing?

I was a fresh graduate when I first met TeleTech. Well, actually, we have not yet marched and graduation ceremony is yet to come but I was able to join the company nonetheless. I wasn't into Call Centers before, nor into BPO. All I know is that I wanted a job and I wanted it in a respectable company. I wouldn't really want to apply in TeleTech, but all my friends are applying - remyxx that is and so I joined. Luckily - I passed and got a position.

I joined one of the pioneering account - it was for a Technical Support representative. Wow, who knew I could speak English - haha, I don't - still don't. :)

My technical year was a bit nice - well there were challenges of course but some of the people surrounding me made it easy for me to perform my job everyday. I had a good team and a very support Team Leader. I also joined a newly formed/created LOB way back catering to Networking jobs. After about a year and one month of taking in calls - I got promoted.

I'd like to tell you the story how I bagged the job. As I have mentioned, my TL was really very supportive and he knew all along that I want to get promoted. It was my day off I remember - around the month of June. My TL texted me "gusto mo ba mag-apply as a Trainer?, punta ka dito bukas" - back then, I was afraid. I'm not in a relationship yet and so I felt I had no one to get strength from. I've been even hearing thoughts that if you apply as a Trainer, you need to 'present' your teaching skills in front of a class. With all the hesitations, I applied. It was the last days of the weekday I think - hmm, can't really remember - but there. I was interviewed by the Supervisor. It wasn't as hard but this supervisor is really taking down notes and everything. After major questions and all, he asked me to present the next day. It was a girl who interviewed me after. I was skeptical to get the position. I kept telling my TL that I didn't get it. I rehearsed for the topic I'll be presenting and because it was all about the technical home networking thing, I knew all about it even with eyes closed.

After the presentation, she interviewed me again and made me realized the things a Trainer will be doing. I want to back off right there and then and I wanted to tell her that NO I really didn't want to job (of course after hearing the things she said :p) but nonetheless, I listened to her and made myself prepared for the judgment day. She asked me for a coffee in Starbucks. I said I would gladly join her. She then told me that I got the position and all that - and welcomed me to the department - all I remember was - it was a Saturday and come Monday, I'll be reporting to the Training team.

My first class was a baptism of fire. I had an am-boy student who speaks English more than I "can". He always looks at me as if he's very dismayed of my capabilities. I never had formal training. All I know was that, I was fresh from the floor and asked to train. Good Lord, he made me pull it through. The succeeding classes were lighter but there was an instance where I had to walk out of the room - yes the word is "walk-out". I cried and everyone saw me. I cried out of frustration. I was doing the best I can but these kids can't see it. I cried on top of my lungs while my co-trainers were looking at me. I felt the ups and downs. Oh yeah - I learned!

After all the learning, everytime I'll do a class, I keep on getting something. hehe - from trophy, to cards, to bags, to pillow, to wallets and everything the class would give me - I keep all of them and used them. I love being a Trainer. I just love the experience and the learning.

2007 was the year of the bang.
I caught chicken pox - shit! I was absent for a month - walang sick leave pa - 2 days pa lang ata. But though I wasn't back yet, I was offered to fly to Cebu - all expense paid - to train a new hire. Win Win situation -- I get to fly domestic - first flight ever in my entire life, I get to experience a different life, I get paid, I get to go to Cebu, the company on the other hand will have assistance with the new site they are putting up, they will have resources to be able to pull through the site launch - WIN WIN situation. Next, I get to fly INTERNATIONAL - twice! yeps, another WIN WIN situation!!

Now, its 2008 - I'm tired and exhausted of the things I've done for the company. I just can't think of how I can still grow. I know there is still lot to learn but I don't see it now. I feel like I'm at the end of the rope - Is it time to fly? Is it time to migrate?

Lord, please help. I need it now badly.

Thanks.

Yes, for Real!!

Guess what -

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

on a little side note:

I have been reading leadership books for a while because I'm having difficulty learning this from the office. Sad but true. So I have to look at other learning options. Sabi nila, experience is the best teacher, what if you don't get to experience that yet - hindi mo pa ba pwedeng matutunan? Sa libro muna ko. I don't want to expound on my office struggles but I think I have to now - I guess it's time. Will blog more about this soon. :)

I'm sleepy and tired - roaming at greenhills, but happy!

Love you hon!

Toys for the Big Girls!

Ay nakow! For the past weeks, I have been browsing the net, educating myself of how it is to shop for a laptop. I heard Rina one time, err - saw when we were chatting - she wants a laptop too. Eversince this PC of ours died last January, I couldn't help myself but think if its really time to buy something portable.

I've made my research and boy oh boy, I've learned a lot... from Core Duo is different from Core 2 Duo, and what FSB is, chipsets, L2 cache(s) size and so many more, as in! - hindi lang basta RAM, HDD and value ng processor ang tinitingnan. Medyo nung naglibot ako sa market - anlaki ng price difference ng Core Duo laptops sa Core 2 Duo na - imagine, magkatunog lang or halos kala mo pareho lang - magkaiba pala. So sa mga buyers, do your own research - wag maging impulsive. It doesn't hurt to resort to helpful websites. Empower your minds - :) Always remember, a laptop is not an investment where you can gain money (maybe one way or another), but its more of an EXPENSE, so if you're shedding money - better be worth it. Here's a very helpful link that can help you with some information. COOLTOYZPH.COM

And wala talagang papalit sa pagkahumaling ko sa DELL laptops - huwaaaaa. Lord, penge pera! :)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

meet my first love among the rest - INSPIRON

This lovely toy comes in different colors. For me, Inspiron is a better and thinner package compared to Latitude. Sophisticated and elegant in its own sense. Made with the end user in mind for Home and Home Office use. It comes in High Definition 15" to 17". You may love the package but fall in love some more by checking its specs from Dell. Fall in love with her too. Inspiron@DELL

meet the stunning and inspiring DELL XPS

this notebook is more than just your gaming notebook. this is fast, quiet and proficient. load up all applications that you can think of and this baby wouldn't even blink to show you that its slowing down. it's a mean machine in a sleek, light and attractive form. it has been produced in batches >> good, red, better and best :p. Don't just take my post for it, visit dell. XPS@DELL

business? meet DELL VOSTRO

Vostro is made for the business-y type. For better performance, longer battery life, stronger wireless, intel centrino duo processor techonology - all because dell is thinking of you. For executives and the like, who likes black in plain and performance.. read on. Vostro@DELL

OMG, don't forget the ever reliable MACBOOK!

this baby will literally make you love her. a lot of people have been wed to their macbooks, don't ask me - google it :p

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have been really thinking as to what phone I can change my current Motorola to. I have searched and finally landed on Sony Ericsson. I've never been an Ericsson user but I loved their P910i before, long before this gadget was born.

meet SE P1i

this baby won me :) I don't think I would love anything else at this point - not a nokia, not another motorola... but the latest smart phones of SE. The only downside - keyboard. :) Another QWERTY keyboard, we'll see. :)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

haaaaaaaaaaay, so far yan pa lang naman ang pantasya ko sa daigdig ng teknolohiya. huwaw - magkalappy lang ako ng inspiron - shet na malagkit. sana din mabili ko yang phone na yan - pero keri lang kung hindi pa - ehehhe, para bumaba pa presyo. :)

CHINESE NEW YEAR
2008 - THE YEAR OF THE RAT

THE RAT
2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948

Rats are perfectionists. They communicate extremely well, are quick-witted, level headed and always alert. They choose their friends carefully and dote on children. Rats are great strategists and make good politicians, but most importantly, their intuition enables them to suss out the enemy quite early in the game. Rats are shrewd and know how to amass wealth. They’ll gladly spend on their loved ones while outsiders will find them miserly. Their adaptability and clever manoeuvring will see them thumbing their nose at even the tightest spot. But they can be quick-tempered and overly critical, making them edgy, nervous and a downright nag with things don’t go their way.

Monday Downers

Hay, i caught the virus again.

Sick and wasn't able to report for work last night - but I was in last Monday. Hirap pa ring magkasakit, lahat sa katawan ko masakit. Buti na lang ako lang me sakit, hindi sila mama, papa, kuya or si kae. Mas ok na din to. Feeling better now actually-

Hmmmmm, I've been busy researching, reading and browsing - hehehe.

Enjoy life. :)

Back Temporarily..

Ehem,

Just updating my blog from its long lost sleep. DSL was up the whole time but the PC was down since uhmmm - let me check, whoah, I couldn't even remember anymore. It was the time when Kuya had to go to Bacolod - sya namang pagtigil ng CPU to work. Has been really considering buying a laptop soon. Or would this be a good move? I'm still weighing things - hehe, kahit simpleng laptop would make a big difference over finances, its usability and all that. Let's see what will happen. I know Rina bought na ren or maybe is still planning to. Hopefully she gets something from US - at least first rate and lots of choices there.

Hay, a lot of things happened eversince 2008 began and I don't want to start updating now - hehehe, not yet. I'm in constant change lately, hoping for the best of the best for this year. It's about time to realize the dreams and "WORK" and "MOVE" to achieve, at least if not everything - partly.

I'm just around, and still here to whoever drops by here in my blog to check for my updates - thanks! :)

Bountiful 2008

Hello Philippines and Hello World!

Nope, this is not PBB or Pinoy Big Brother - just had a little hang up while watching. :)

Kamusta naman ang mga hindi na naguupdate ng blog di ba? Kamusta naman po ang christmas ng mga beloved bloggers of the world?

My Christmas was fine. This was the year when I get to give a lot - hehe, not in terms of money but the number of people I crossed out of my list. I'm happy because I didn't forget naman anyone who's on the list. Sabi nga nila, it's better to give than to receive. :) Nyek! babaw :) And I'm so happy with all the things I got this year, hmmmmm.. ano ano nga ba

• A book tag from my first week monito monita
• A Rubik's cube, err a 2x2x2 cube from the second week of monito monita
  
• A beautiful big glass from my third week of monito monita
• Anne Rice's Book VI of Vampire Chronicles from the last gift giving of monito monita
• Book of Jodi Picoult's "Perfect Match" given by my Mommy during the Xmas Party
  
• I got an antioxidant soap from Jessa
• Anne Rice's Book V of Vampire Chronicles from John

• A Thai 'sampaloc' from Dexter who went to Thailand :)

if in case I forgot someone, I'll surely post it here.. hehe.. gift giving indeed. How generous of my co-trainers even if I wasn't prepared to give gifts - medyo wala naman sila sa list ko - hahaha.

New Year was also a bang! We spent it at home the usual way we do but I had to report at the office by January 1 - work work work...

I couldn't elaborate more. I thank the LORD for my 2007 - even if I got chickenpox this age - I was able to fly domestically and internationally. I thank him for all the opportunities I have experienced this year. I pretty much know that I need to move this 2008 - where and how? I don't know yet. I wish he won't leave me the way he did for this exciting 24 years of my LIFE.

I love you honey.


To GOD be the Glory, now and forever!!
