july 18, 2008

I had a count down of my big day for approximately 30 days and when my birthday came it passed me by like a cyclone.

It started one fine morning, waking up in a very good and light mood. My mom and dad went to the market and bought loads and loads of food. Menu for my birthday: bbq squid, sisig, tokwat baboy, inihaw Na sulib, tilapia, bangus, crispy pata, tacos Filipino version, beef with broccoli, and pansit palabok courtesy of uncle gene and auntie rocel. We feasted all these sumptuous food over lunch. Everybody was all stuffed! It was all a pleasure to see all eating in delight.

Right after lunch we headed back home to get ready for a 5:30 mass. It was a very meaningful mass considering it was my special day.

We went back home to wait for my brother. He came in from manila. When he was all made up, we went to herbs and greens for a quiet dinner. Sadly it was only the four of us. No plus one. I still thank god for all the blessings he has given me for the past 30 years.

Soon after we had our family dinner, atching ahlee had it all plan for our bar hopping for the girls. Our first stop was at Bruno and Diego, then to a place atching ahlee love and lastly @ RNB.

I had such a blast with my cousins. This will be forever cherished because I only see them once like the blue moon.

JULY 16

Such a memorable day this was. Given fact, 2 days to go before my big day. Having not enough sleep because we went home late, my uncle gene and family (my mom’s brother) came home from Guam to surprise everybody. When I was all ready to sleep my good friend icor text me and told that his brother TJ died, Tj is and was also a friend. God can you just believe that only 30 years old? Gone too soon!! I remember during my college days. My gimmick days I use to hang out with him so jolly and funny person. So I wake up the next day feeling kind of sad it was already July 16 and I remember that I need to renew my license. I decided to go to work then go to SM for my license and last stop is at good shepherd to see Tj for the last time. Sounded so easy right? I thought so too, before I left the office I already drank a lot of water not because I know that my urine will be tested for drugs but because it is my habit to drink a lot of water everyday. It was all good till I had my test, I heard the nurse call my name. For some strange reasons my heart started to pound. That stupid technician (or however you call her) started to shout, my knees were shaking, all of the people started to stare at me and laughing at me because she was accusing me of manipulating my urine, in a very loud voice she said that I got my urine from the faucet and my urine was cold. In humiliation I was not able to defend my self that well, at the same time I did not want to create a scene and I was very worried that they will forfeit my license. We all know that driving is my passion and if I won’t be able to drive again, it’s like a death sentence to me. I told her what can I do if drink a lot of water and that my urine is crystal clear. I started to call my mom and dad, friends and cousins to save me from such SHAME! The other nurse believes in me. Thank god. She told me to go back after 1pm. I went home to pick my mom and dad... you know moral support from all of the embarrassment that shity nurse inflicted. I even forgot to eat lunch, I was so famished. I thought I was not able to go at good shepherd. Well I thought my day will end in misery but it ended with a blast because at the end of the day it was a get together sort of party at a private villa with a private swimming pool and Jacuzzi that goes with it, loving family and yummy food.

oh baby I

Here is the lyrics to one of my all time favorite song by eternal

I feel the touch of your hand
And I understand how much I need your love
You have given me wings
And I can do things I've never dreamed of
And I promise for as long as we're together
I will cherish this everlasting love

Oh baby I need you so
You know that I can't let go
Always and forever I just want you to know
I wanna be where you are
No matter how near or far
And I wanna be the only one
Who can open the door to your heart
Oh baby I, oh baby I, oh baby I [x2]

All your secrets I'll keep
They're safe here with me
My arms will comfort you
There'll be no river too wide
No mountain too high
My heart will follow you
I'll go anywhere for as long as we're together
I will cherish this everlasting love

Oh baby I need you so
You know that I can't let go
Always and forever I just want you to know
I wanna be where you are
No matter how near or far
And I wanna be the only one
Who can open the door to your heart
Oh baby I, oh baby I, oh baby I [x2]

There may be times some rain will fall
But I won't mind it if you're here with me
Oh, we'll get by and through it all
We'll have all of the love that we need, oh baby
Oh, oh baby
Oh, my darling
I'll go anywhere for as long as we're together
I will cherish this everlasting love

Oh baby I need you so
You know that I can't let go
Always and forever I just want you to know
I wanna be where you are
No matter how near or far
And I wanna be the only one
Who can open the door

Oh baby I need you so
Together our love will grow
Always and forever I just want you to know
I want to be where you are
No matter how near or far
And I want to be the only one
Who can open the door to your heart

The bobonikels chronicles

If there is book called The Narnia Chronicles, I would like to certainly write about the bobonikels chronicles. I’m sure your wondering what is the meaning of bobonikels. Bobo is a tagalong word which translates in English dumb (from Encarta dictionary it means regarded as having or showing a low level of intelligence). Kels well, I just want to add it to the word to have a new twist. Hahaha. Well being an SME (subject matter expert) at work is very challenging my job description goes a long list of slashes, like we don’t really know if we are an AVP/ trainer/ QA/CSAT. Most of the time all eyes are on us be it VP/ AVP’S/ AGENTS. So the pressure is really on us. The bobonikels chronicles are stories of agents who have some situations that will make you laugh and cry. I for one, these agents make me feel irritated. You will have mix feelings of pity and anger. It would make you think how come they have the nerve to apply in a call center. I’m not saying that i'm all good, sometimes when i’m talking to a customer if I’m not concentrating I must admit that I’m lost for words but not as stupid. Here are scenarios that I find so funny that I want to practice my gymnastics skills and I want to literally hang myself upside down.

SCENE 1

Agent 1: Mommy A can I ask you a question?

Mommy A: yeah sure, what?

Agent 1: uhhh when do I need to ask the customer “how are you?” is it after I verify the Pin or after?

TOINKKKSSSS, hello isn’t this just a common sense on when to ask someone like how are you? Or how was your day? Hello spontaneity??

SCENE 2

Agent 2 talking to the customer: you paided $ 20.00

Ahhhhm even my ms word is telling me that this is incorrect!?

SCENE 3

Agent 3 talking to one of the SME’s asking on how to close the box of the headset… hello….another common sense!!!

SCENE 4

Agent 4 explaining the bill to the customer: Mr. Smith your account is past dued!!!

Tell me if it made you laugh…

I know I' m such a devil. My kamalditahan is showing.

sixteen daze to gow

It’s official. Today is July 2, 2008. Oh my goodness only 16 days to go before I turn three zero. I’m excited/eager/thrilled/worried/anxious/vex all of the same time.
