Dear Merlion..

Its not too long until we meet again... =)

The TP Days

Last month, just before the transition stage from training to production, I handed my resignation as a CSR in that company. Its tough as usual. I know what it feels like when someone left from your workmates and when you left your workmates. I always believe that no matter how hard your work is as long as you have your companions to support you, its still worth it. I wouldn't want to fill this space with my sentimental blunts about what I felt and about my thoughts. I think I said it enough on my previous entries. This time around, I just want to take a glimpse on what really happened to me on that 2 months. Work wise, I'm not really happy with it, that's why I left, but everything I gained from these people and the trainings, those are the things I will always carry with me wherever I go. So much for 2 months, I just thank god he allowed me to experienced it even just for awhile....

and of course, for allowing me to meet these people. =)

The Treat!

So, since everybody was nagging me about treating them since during that time i still have a job, FINE!

I can be generous if I want, though most of the time, I am so stingy. No, that's not the proper term... I'm just saving my money for future important expenses. How about that? HAHAHA.

Usually, when I treat, I never tell it to anyone, what I usually do is just to invite people as much as my budget can, but without knowing that I am going to treat them, so lucky for those who will come. HAHAHA. Another thing is that I usually do it "biglaan"! HAHAHA.

When it pours, it rains, so when I treat, it rains! HAHAHA.

Got to treat them in YellowCab, Starbucks and Giligans.. I miss one thing there, Movie!

Dave and Abhie accepted my invite and because of that they are the lucky ones!! HAHAHA.

Bebang's Homecoming

I love homecomings! Aside from "Libre", there are a lot of things we can talked about. Gossip, issue, gossip, issue and gossip and issue. HAHAHA. Its really funny, we picked ourselves where we left off. We brought all the same old stories that we talked about everyday and still we found ourselves laughing really hard about it. Like its the first time we heard that story. HAHAHA. Thanks to Facebook, everyone can join our conversation even though they are not physically present at that moment. That's why I love them. =)

One is out of the scene, I guess he's dead! HAHAHA.

My thoughts while eating “Empanada”: CYD and SG

(Came from my Tumblr account!! YA YA! I was laughing when I re-read this...)

My 4 Meals per Day/Treats/Eat All You Can Days!

*If they want me to work longer hours, they will bribe me…. FOOD! and then, i will say YES!
*They knew what makes me happy, FOOD!
*Uncle Philip will always bring cream puffs from old chang kee, he will bring one bag full of cream puffs… (their cream puff is like empanada to me!)
*When I do morning shifts, i always have nasi lemak courtesy of “die die ma”
*I always treat my colleagues doin closing whenever my duty is morning or mid shift and visit mcdo or burger king right after work.
*Every supper, automatically they will order fried rice, the half is for me, and the rest is for them. LOL.
*I love buffets, I will always push my tummy to its limit up until I can hardly breathe.
*I’m always the one to finish my food first even they start to eat first.
*Addicted to Nasi Lemak, for the whole year, I only ordered for luncheon meat, tempura and chicken with 2-3 rice. Nothing else.
*Everytime i eat at work’s cafeteria and scooped my rice, everyone will look at my plate.
*If off duty and i need to spend money for food, i only have 3 choices to eat, chicken rice, pork fried rice and nasi lemak. if no budget, just chicken rice.
*Whenever we eat at pinoy restaurants or whatsoever, we thank god that we got the chance to finally eat a real food.
*The biggest party ever happened…. club sandwich, pizza, nasi goreng, laksa, ice cream, fries, chocolates and chicken pop corn. Suddenly i miss quesadilla.
*Its hard to believe that there’s no Coffee Club in Philippines. Damn, i miss Mudpie! The first time I tried it was with someone who fell at her chair. LOL.
*And its also hard to believe that there are no Molten Cake and Tiramisu available at Starbucks here. Although I love Cinnamon and Banana Bread. HAHAHA.
*KangKong, the most unforgettable food ever.
*I seldom drink softdrinks, but I drink a lot of Ice Lemon Tea.
*Junkies, always Potato Chips! I can still remember when the store sell Lays for 2 SGD, LOL. We finished all their Lays.
*Well im not really choosy when it comes to food, though i dont eat lots of veggies and salad.
And now, they are asking, ‘what happened to you? you look so thin’. LOL.
Ask my metabolism.

My OCTOBER!!

Awesome! Its October.. September just gone too soon! I can say that October is the most important month for the Clan, my dad, my aunt and my grandma's birthday (RIP) and this is the month when we usually had reunions. Personally, well, most of friends celebrate their birthdays on this month. I just dont know why??? HAHAHA!!

And since I am back again from being a bummer, time to catch up with stories from the past 2 months. I got a lot actually!! 

Time to wake up since September already ended! I bet they just sleep for whole month of September, really! with the song of Greenday playing on their heads. C'mon!! HAHAHA. Alright, the first song I heard for this month... TOGETHER by Demi Lovato & Jason Derulo. SUPER NICE!

and the most celebrated event during october?? OKTOBERFESTTTT!!! Mann, i'm not a fan of beers.

I thought September was going to be my month, I think its October.. *crossfingers*

The Past 2 Months...

Oh yeah, I'm back!! I miss blogging... I miss ranting.. I miss everything in this space... I know I have a lot of stories to publish prior to this, but I'll try to make it up. HAHAHA.

The past 2 months, I must say is something unexpected. It was short but I felt like it happened for a long time now. Its really awkward that after the previous post talking about new work, I am now ending my journey to that new work. HAHAHA. So fast?? HAHAHA. But please dont get me wrong, its not about being stubborn but I have my reasons. Work for me, is not just about money anyway, I might be lucky as my family can support everything financially right now even though I don't have work but I'm trying to be independent again. Something that I can't do here, as I left half of my heart somewhere else. =)

But the best thing that happened to me within that 2 months is them....

New Life, New Work, New Journey

Its been awhile since I've made my last entry and i kinda miss blogging.

I would want to blog everyday and every step that I made and what I had gone through but I dont want to preempt anything since the result for every process and steps are not certain yet. 

Finally, i've ended my 2 months bumming. Although I've gone through a job that is unlikely related to what I want to pursue, I still choose to go for it. I mean, if there is something that is really meant for you, then its really for you.

So what's my new job? I am working as a Trusted Advisor, hell yeah! Technically speaking, I am working as a Customer Service Representative in an international company. CSR=Phone Calls. Did I say I hate phone calls? but the job is all about phone calls. Thank God, I got a good phone training in CYD and im used to handling irate callers. I mean not really good in handling customers on the phone but its not new to me anyways.

Meet my wavemates.... They always make every night worth it.

Homecoming

To tell you honestly, I suggest to them that this one should happen on a Sunday which is July 2 or 3? Lazy to check the calendar. But for the sake of everybody, they moved it to July 7. Days passed by and no one realize that it was indeed a valuable day. I forgot to greet them a HAPPY 4TH MONTHSARY!!

and it was really happy!

It was a homecoming for my ex-supervisor and at the same time a mini reunion for us.

I would like to acknowledge those two very industrious students who decided not to attend their succeeding classes for that day, look they still wearing the school's uniform a la kapote style! Yey!

Google + Project... What the??

Google + is said to compete big time with Facebook!!

A new social networking site by Google and is set to open at the end of this month.

As of now, registration to the site is only via invites from current members.

I was searching for a way to have an account before everybody else does since last week and finally, someone decided to give me an invite!

One thing that I really like about is that it focus mainly of effective communication and distribution of information by using your "circles". To begin with, social networking is all about communication so I think, Google+ got it.

No title, just read it!

LAZY TO THINK OF BETTER TITLE. I THINK THAT ONE IS FINE.

The past few days are ridiculously insane. Though stressful, its been a productive week for me.

Busy days with not so much sleep as my body clock is totally f*cked up. That's the product of being a bummer.

But my days at home are not totally useless. First thing I do when I woke up is to check Thunderbird (email client) right away just to check if there are future appointments for me. I've been engaging to online job search for almost 2 months now and I'm pretty confident with the developments I'm receiving. Its really a big help, less risk, less effort, less expenses but efficient and effective results.

I've crossed this very interesting position and very nice opportunity. Deceiving but hey, I was shocked after self analysis I found myself as qualified. So no second thoughts, I emailed them and they replied like a Yellow Flash. Found out that its auto-reply. HAHA. Never mind. So I invited my 2 colleagues to join me and apply for the same position. The next day was intended for requirements completion. MEANING BACK TO SCHOOL!

This is the only moment in our whole day that we took a pic of ours, and the only pic the we had, for the sake of this blog maybe. HAHAHA.

The Hobby: Job Hunting & Interview - Story 1

Just today, i visited a recruitment firm which i applied in JobsDB. As usual, job exams and interview. And as usual again, its located in Makati. (Makati is a business hub anyway! and its FAB!) I applied for a Management Trainee for i dunno what company. LOL. seriously, i really dont know what company, but then they are looking for a HRM graduate which makes me think that the job is HRM related. But yes, I go through the job description page. I didnt find the company name and all I know is that it is "food retail" and "wines related". I realized I became more careless in pushing the apply button in job sites. That means, I really need a work, as in immediately. HAHAHA. but not because of money.. (honestly!) i just feel like i need something to do, something valuable aside from everyday bonding with my laptop.

Ok, onto my story... It was a surprise call from them since the representative call me at 7PM, which i didnt expect. (usually offices close at 5PM or earlier???) Well, its like a preinterview on the phone and at the end of the conversation, she asked me if i can visit there office tomorrow (which is today) at a certain time, since i'm free I said yes. OK! 2ND APPOINTMENT EVER! (my first one is from market research company, for an analyst job! THATS WHAT YOU CALLED GUTS! HAHAHA!)

An Excursion to Tagaytay

A short trip before the summer ends. A trip with so much delay. Still end up going with people who is always on the go!

And yes, it was planned. I'm always amuse with planned outings. HAHAHA.

It was a long day trip and I never experienced weariness not until i slept and woke up.

Tagaytay is just a 2-3 hours trip from the city of Manila. It is an easy getaway for people who wants a quick relaxation and leisure.

Tagaytay is at my province, Cavite! But to tell you honestly, I've never done a full visit to Tagaytay until this trip.

We've gone to three destinations, major spots Picnic Groove and People's Park, and The Church of Manaog (Tierra Maria).

As always, I do my own research before launching to a trip. Something I've learned from a good friend when we went to Baguio way back 2009.

The "BETS" reunited

As my head is still banging with These Kids Wear Crown's version of I Wanna Dance With Somebody..

"Oooh I wanna dance with somebody, I wanna feel the heat with somebody,  Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody, with somebody who loves me!!!"

.. can't stop thinking about Monday night!

I got some nice time hanging out with my college girlfriends. I was in the dilemma of not going because I have to leave my place for Manila at 7PM?! HAHAHA. But then, I haven't seen them for almost 1 1/2 years and with their busy work schedules, finally we got to see each other again!

"BETS" that's what we call each other, aside from "MARE" and "BAKLA".. Bets our slang version of "bitch"! HAHAHA. Its a sudden word. Way back on our college years, there was this girl who is so irritated to us inside our classroom. She overheard my other mare saying "bitch" several times, she got offended because she thought we are referring to her. And the war began! HAHAHA. We are telling to that girl that she misunderstood us but refused to listen to us! So for a solution, we told everyone in our group that to avoid misunderstanding with other stupid people, we are going to make a slang version of "bitch" which is BETS! HAHAHA!

"Mare" is another version of Amiga in Spanish and "Bakla" means gay! HAHAHA.

Gladly, they haven't changed.. They are still sweet, crazy, funny and naughty as always! =)

Back to being.... SCHMALTZY!

In other words, sentimental... Sentimental with the songs i'm listening to. HAHAHA.

I found myself lure to more headbanging songs nowadays... so time to relax.  SWING SWING SWING!

If you hate everything about being sentimental then this is not the place for you. HAHAHA.

Thank God that in spite of this trending auto tune and whatsoever in mainstream music (not a hater though), I can still find some songs like this.

JAY SEAN'S HOME

I freakkin in love with this song.

What a shame for me! HAHAHA.

I wonder when will be the first time that we can all be together, completely!

Syndrome

Its been a month... as the day passes by, the more we keep on thinking about it!
Isn't that it should be the other way around?
I can describe our feelings as helpless. We can do nothing about it for now but to sigh, reminisce  and wait.
Anyway, its not really easy to just move on, especially when all you can think are the good memories, good days and good people that you had in becoming independent for the first time in your life.

The Star City!

Yay! This is my 100th blog entry for my blog.... Ahh Yeah!

I haven't touched the net through my laptop for quite sometime now, and besides nothing really special for this month except for the unending passing of requirements. DUHH!

Moving on, this one actually is way back last month. Uhmm, 1 week after we landed here from SG.

So its the my first major trip after coming back. Its like, before moving forward to stressful school works, how about a nice and fun trip!

I was still in High School when the last time I entered Star City, I think with my relatives. It is a theme park just like DisneyLand, but yeah, its way way way more better than this. I actually love to go in Enchanted Kingdom which is more more better than this one but its kinda far. Theme Park situated in the city with a lot of establishments nearby... this is the most accessible recreational park.

Joining with me, is the guy who is always on the go, Richard and the one who decided to make a big change, JC. HAHAHA.

We are all 21 years old, my gawddd... HAHAHA. And I miss my long hair!

*The fun never ends at Star City* is that the slogan??? am i right?? HAHAHA.
