I must take charge.
I’m done drifting wherever it is convenient.
I know I’m not getting any younger.
I must do something about it.
My question on who am I?
I am I and I alone and cannot be anyone else.
I need things and I want things for I and no one else can only provide myself.
I’m done just taking life like a joke thinking all the while that everything is ok even though it is not.
I must do something about it.
I must not dwell in the past. Whatever it is that my dad was not able to provide should not be the reason of my mistakes.
I should stand by my actions no matter what the consequence.
God has done things that every man can. He asks us to be more like him and it is possible.
I need to set my mind to something and just do it.
Sooner or late I’ll need to be responsible enough to my love ones.
I need to fix my life.
I need to make a stand.
I need to stop myself from doing the usual things.
I need variety, control and self-realization that in life only I can make it more bearable.
I must stop blaming others, stop complaining, and start doing.
I am thankful that I have a skill like this.
Words and thoughts, which are rare in some, are natural to me.
I must harness it and use it to my full advantage.
I need to act now.
I need to plan where to begin and begin as soon as the plan is set.
I will find my answers eventually but first I must do something about myself and find a path where I can exploit my talents and use it to my advantage.
I need to do it now.Not soon but now.

Why should we hire you?
You should hire me because of 3 things.
I am not the smartest man you’ll meet.
I am lazy
I talk a lot.
You should hire me because I am not the smartest man in the world. I don’t know much but what I do know I know very well. I may not know the answer to some of the world’s questions but I will never stop asking and searching until I get the answers to it. Now if there would be another question that arise you can bet that I will also find that answer for you or at least try to and/or make a theory of my own and present it to you for your approval.
You should also hire me because I am lazy. Lazy meaning that if there’s a much quicker and efficient way of doing things then I will do it if there is none then I will try and look for one and seek for my manager’s approval so I can use it and try to innovate the already well made system thus making it much more efficient and easy to use.
You should also hire me because I talk a lot. I may rant sometimes but those rants if you take some time to listen may fascinate you. I talk a lot in a sense that when my customer is asking for something I never stop trying to find that answer while keeping them entertained and in a quite cheerful mood without them realizing that they are waiting for their inquiries response. I treat my customers like equals, with respect and appreciation of their time. I never talk down to anyone if I may have then it must be that the flooring of what were standing on is not leveled or I’m simply just too tall or him too little.
You should also hire me because I am an optimist. I see the best in people and try to act on their good nature and try to be as well mannered and nice to other around me. I may not look like it but I’m a pretty decent guy save for 3 things, talker and me being not smart, and lazy.

Quiet thy mind
Who am I?
What am I made of?
What am I destined for?
I’ve read these questions on a book lent to me by a friend. To which the answers still eludes me amidst countless nights of dwelling into the deep abyss of thoughts.
Who am I?
It would be safe to say that I am what my personal information provides. I can give my name, age, location and work. But all this are superficial or if not would hardly penetrate the shell of that mystery. A mystery cloaked by my endless questions on which I really am and by the indecisions I throw at the topic.
What am I made of?
Do I have the capacity to love, share and protect all those around me? To all of those that is important to me? My defining moment in life can have repercussions that will echo in the future. Like a stone thrown in the water ripples for sure will appear affecting all that it is connected to.
What am I destined for?
I believe that there is someone greater than all of us that have already weave the threads that we are about to take. Everything is pre-destined to be something. Like water that no matter what form it takes it will always be in it’s original state sooner or later. Although sometimes plans do not turn out the way it should be and that’s the beauty of it. We can be so certain of today and then our whole world is rocked by uncertainty the next. It is said that Gods (Greek myth) envy mortals because of that uncertainty and the doom that is death that we are all destined for makes everything sweeter.
The thrill.
As much as I’d like to get my questions now, rather than going thru my whole life looking for it, I’d rather not. The suspense of the unknown is so fascinating that regardless of a certain fact that we know that some things will not turn out to be the way it should we still head on and charge it with all we have.
Living as if it’s your last.
Sometimes I feel like my body is just a shell in order for me to exist. Existing is not my dream, LIVING is. Doing things halfway is not doing them at all. I want to live, not just to be alive, breathing and existing but to actually LIVE! I want to smell the ocean breeze as it hits my face. To taste the salt that comes with it. To watch the sunsets and sunrises and share it with the one I love.
Now Showing.
Our life is now showing, it’s not coming soon; it’s not for next attraction. It is now. We must grab it by the horns and wrestle it with all our might. We must not trouble ourselves with petty things, with material things that we so depend on to be happy and complete. We need to rely in that hope that everything will be ok because it is what we want for ourselves. It can be anything we dream to be. Anything we would want to have although sometimes we need to be a realist but then again there’s no harm in dreaming.
Love
Love? Why does this word hold so much meaning for so short of a word. It moves mountains and separates oceans just so it can be. It makes things a lot of fun and a lot difficult to understand. Everyone wants to feel that passion and the pain of which makes the whole experience worthwhile. We want to be miserably, deeply and madly in-love. We want to torture ourselves to the point that all we feel is that lingering want to be loved. I think sometimes being miserable gives us perspectives to what or where we want to direct our lives. We all want to star in our very own movie. May it be drama, comedy, suspense, horror or a love story we all want to direct it, write it and act it out. It is said that the whole world is a stage and the rest of the world is your audience and you are the writer, director and the actor that is to play it out. I believe this although sometimes we need to make adjustments to our scripts. Adjustments, that makes the whole story really interesting and the audience wanting for more. We fabricate stories in our heads to what this day would turn out to be hoping that today we will be swept of our feet by that one instance where the whole world will stop and it will be just you in the picture with your own slow motion effect as you get to the highlights.
Coffee
I love coffee. I love the woody, husky, and strong aroma of a fresh brew. The orchestra of the bitter sweet taste it leaves on my mouth after sipping it is incomparable to anything I’ve tasted. The kick it provides me. It is safe to say that I’m a caffeine addict. Life and love is like a strong brew. Hot, bitter and sweet. Some may like it some may not. It can burn you if you’re not careful but it can also give you that kick to continue on. And just like any good brew, it is best enjoyed with the ones you love while enjoying the simple yet complex nature of life.

Taus-pusong pasasalamat
As most of you guys know tomorrow will be my last day as your teammate here in Shell Fleet card Customer Facing (did I get it right). I will be transferring to Billings as to what I will be assigned there to do I am still not sure. I may have come to be too strong but this is just how the way I am and I don't mean to be one. I am grateful for the tips and information that you parted with me this past few months. I enjoyed my stay here even though it raised a few eyebrows and pouted some lips out of annoyance and for it I apologize.
Sir Rein, I am thankful from day 1 that you allowed me to be a part of your team and as for the disappointments that I gave you, I am truly sorry. I stood by my actions and placed my self into your better judgment and luckily, I was given another chance and for this I am truly thankful for.
I’d like to give my thanks to certain individuals that have been really patient with my endless nagging and blunt with their comments about me. You know who you are. I appreciate it truly.
Again, Thank you so much for having me.

the amiable cabbie
After picking up my and eating at a nearby Chinese restaurant we were able to get a cab last night with a driver so nice you’d actually feel proud of him and feel guilty that you can’t tip him enough. It’s so rare to find cab drivers like this who is more than just after the money but actually wanted to do his job well. He’s noble and really polite for a cab driver, which is really rare. Since it was raining really hard last night the traffic was chaotic. But not a word of complain was heard from him. He was even joking with me and my girl and actually being so modest that he says that he is not that nice when it comes to ferrying people to where they want to go. It just so happens that he is also from the south and knows how hard it is to get a cab to drive you there. A tip for him is appropriate. I also noticed that his meter isn’t the one with a “batingting” that skyrockets every time he revs up his vehicle considering that it was a new model. The driving was superb and really smooth and the driver himself is polite and well mannered. Another tip for him seems to be the right thing to do. When we arrived at our destination we handed him the fare plus the tip.
What really surprises me when we boarded his cab was, he told us that he’d just set the meter later because he needs to gas up at a nearby gasoline station. When I told him it’s ok he declined and said sometimes it takes a long time for the attendants to load him up. Now talk about being fair huh.
David Mendoza all drivers should be like you. Cheers to you mate and God speed!

seeking for my calling
I've been asked by lot of people what exactly what I would like to do with my life, mostly by my girlfriend of 4 years, to which I reply I've yet to decide. I've given it a lot of thought. My close friend tells me to just return to my previous course which is nursing. With that being said I've consider it many times over yet I can't find the guts to make a firm stand whether I'll take it up or not. After I quit nursing school I thought of becoming a writer. However, I realized that you don't really need a degree to write what's on your mind and earn yourself some followers that will take their time to read what you want to say.
At least that's what I thought.
I tried my hands on nihonggo for a caregiver job in Japan. That too didn't turn out to be productive. I just ended up wasting time and money.
I tried getting a job and luckily enough I landed one at a call center. One good thing about call centers, they pay well and you have tons of benefits that come along with it. Bad thing about it is you gotta do the same old thing day by effing day.
That didn't worked out as well.
I can't seem to make up my mind to what I really would like to be doing. I love to write and yet there are times that it bores me to even think of a good topic to write about. Laziness is my greatest illness that i can't seem to get over. I tried overcoming it and try I did but didn't quite make it. If it wasn't for my girl, only God knows what I'm doing. For all I know I may already be dead.
Enough of that.
I speak ok, write ok and do my job ok. But at the end of the day I still find myself asking what I would rather be doing. At the end of the day I feel like what I'm doing is less than par to what i really should be doing.
For starters, I'd like to get a degree. Question is what kind of degree? To this question I've yet to find my answer. I'd like to at least provide for my family and have them be proud of me. But I guess that's too much to ask given I find the simplest of tasks to be taxing. I could rant all day and use heavy words that will somehow make me look like I know what I'm writing about but that won't make much of a difference. I'd still go home thinking what is it that I would rather be doing instead of ranting.
It would have been better if I could choose from 2 options but I don't even have any options to choose from from the beginning. Or maybe I have but it still hasn’t come to me yet. Is it my ego that gets in the way? Is it that lack of motivation from the person I seek it from the most that is lacking? Or is it just me hindering myself to go and get what I want, given that I already know what that is. I'm so confused. Tired. Getting of sick of myself for not being able to decide what I really want. I'm not getting any younger. Opportunities are quickly depleting. I need to get my ass into gear if I like to do something with my life; I need to make up my mind.
Dear God, please help me find my calling. Amen.
Cheers!

scandal... Again!
Everyone loves a scandal. We love it so much that this news headlines almost all the newspapers and floods the chatrooms and television. A scandal I thought being more important than the crawling economy of our country, the continuous suffering of our very own people and oportunistic politicians who basks in the attention being given by the masses. There are more pressing issues but I guess those have to wait.
Eventually, it will all boil down to this. If Hayden is proven to have a psychological disorder then he will not go to prison. Instead, his lawyer may find a way to sway the court to just detain his client in a hospital until he is treated of his psychological issues.
Atleast, that's what I would do if he is my client and if I were a lawyer. As for the illicit video, how sure are we that Katrina doesn't know she is being taped? If the sex video was taken at about the same time after the dance video then there is a great chance that she knows about the "hidden" cam. Not only that, she already knows that Hayden has a certain liking of taping it so why have she not made sure that she is not going to star on one of his "collections". I pity Maricar and the Brazilian model that was caught in all these but then again given the nature of the film it's also their fault for not being careful in the 1st place.
Hayden is indeed a sexual pervert who gets his kick off in these kinds of things. Although given the chance that his partners gave their consent to be filmed while they do the nasty and he having no intention of showing the video to anyone else except for their own viewing then it would just all be a fetish that they need to fulfill. But it just isn't so or maybe is it? We’ll never know for sure unless all his partners speak and tell the truth if they gave their consent or not. As per Hayden’s part, it's either he got careless and pissed the wrong people or simply is just suffering from a sexual/psychological disorder. (How convenient)

you be the judge
I’ve been reading this post from a certain forum about the insights/feeling of MPA’s or massage parlor attendants. For the others who do not know what they do, they provide massage to their customers and “extra services” to those who are willing to pay them enough. But not all MPA does this kind of “ES” or extra service. But for those that who do it, it is their choice on why they got into this trade and be subjected to the ever critical eyes of the society. But then again they are just like the others who have experienced difficulties in their lives. Some may say that they took the easiest way out but can you call it easy by pretending you are enjoying what you do even if others are using your very soul for their delight? I think not.
On the thread that I read, these ladies took a path they know that will change their lives forever so that they can reach their dreams and make a life for their families. Although not being able to be of moral standings, at least they did not resort to violence or crime. Please do not get me wrong. I am not against nor approved on what they do for a living.
These ladies are only asking for one simple thing. RESPECT. Some may find it funny, and some just downright hilarious. But let's face facts these ladies wouldn't exist if there was no demand for what they do. So with the rising numbers of "professionals" I think business is good.
They are still people with feelings and problems of their own that we can only just imagine how grave to have pushed them to resort to this kind of work. So please let's try to keep an open mind and ponder for a bit before we act or say anything. Are they really worth your ridicule and judgment? Are they that bad to have hoped for something a little bit better for themselves and families? Are we any different from them to have dreamt of having a normal peaceful life? I leave the rest to you my dear readers ( if i have any that is).

Please Do Not Read
What's up with the title. I bet you read it and then raised an eyebrow thinking that this is a chain mail of some sort.
God I hate those, don't you?!?
It'll starts like an interesting story about a tragic love, accident, charity, or the religions and then after reading thru it it will ask you to send it to a number of people to avoid the curse that was attached to that mail. Bloody good for nothing chaps who made this may be laughing that their so called curse is making it's way thru the net flooding forums, emails and personal net spaces.
What's interesting though is that regardless how idiotic an email is we still read it and do as it says(i.e send it to 10 people...). Is it out of fear or anxiety that the said curse will take effect once we break the chain? Chain letters have been around as far back as I can remember. Back in high school where bored students abound does this kind of things. It may be acceptable to see that the sender is just a youngster but what ticks me off is that adults does the same and not only that they have multiple posts of the mail on one thread. I mean c'mon. I know there's freedom of speech but this is ridiculous. This is no longer freedom this is abuse. I guess it's the innate reaction every human has that does what we are told. Although for me breaking rules is not as fun as obeying them so why not not obey it and just ignore it so the hype will just die a natural death.
Also, it's sad that they actually use innocent photographs from the net to further make their letters appealing and believable and even use religious figures to corner the receipient and thus maximize the email that is sent through out. How many times have you cleaned you mailbox of these mails only to be filled with another hundred more. It actually amazes me jhow persisten these people are. You gotta ask don't they have better things to do than sit there in their sorry orroms and make stuff like these? There's a whole world out there it wouldn't hurt you to get out and get a life.
With respect(or the lack of it) to the topic I'll end this here with a note:
"if you don't repost/forward this in less than a gazillion folks in 5 seconds..... nothing absolutely nothing will happen to you.
Cheers!

How many times have you cleaned you mailbox of these mails only to be filled with another hundred more. It actually amazes me jhow persisten these people are. You gotta ask don't they have better things to do than sit there in their sorry orroms and make stuff like these? There's a whole world out there it wouldn't hurt you to get out and get a life.
With respect(or the lack of it) to the topic I'll end this here with a note:
"if you don't repost/forward this in less than a gazillion folks in 5 seconds..... nothing absolutely nothing will happen to you.
Cheers!
comment on multiply
the following is a comment I posted on one of the multiply sites regarding a blog entry of a rather sensitive nature. Surprisingly there are a number of people who took offense on what I said and completely overlook the main sense of the piece. Here it goes:

With this being said each of us here are entitled to our own opinions and feelings about the topic but that doesn't mean that we can abuse that right. This topic has been posted(i think) to pique the interests of its readers and not to lure people out who has done the act of having a mistress or being one to be judged and persecuted by the people who has a different POV. Regardless of how clean our conscience are that still doesn't give us the right to throw hurtful words or judge a person just because of a mistake he/she has committed.
Ladies and gents easy on the comments and accusations towards other people. I know the topic is really sensitive but please do try to think first about the implications of what you're about to say whether it may be good or not. There are a lot who may misunderstood what you meant. To the others, all of your opinions are really meaningful and really understandable, but please no matter what happens let us not throw words that directly disrespect the other people's POV.
To nicefreak, having found out that you're not the only one must have been really tough. I commend you for being able to rise above it and give another crack at the marriage. Nicely done.
For Dean, it's really brave that you did what you did. You came out and spilled a personal part of yourself here. I know you have your reasons. reasons that may actually help us to further know why "mistresses" are what they are. If you are immediately judged and incarcerated by the others, on behalf of them I apologize. Please try to keep an even broader mind and try to understand their reactions as well. Yes it does take 2 to tango both in marriage and having a mistress. With the lack of commitment on the former would sometimes equate on having the latter.
The wife should know her responsibilities not only to her child but also to her husband. The husband should always prioritize his family for it to be a give and take relationship.
To skdeleon, very interesting post. I never thought this would get the feedback it did from the others. Awaiting for your next "very interesting" entree. ^_^
P and C. Patience and Commitment. And at rarity...Love.
Cheers to you all.

Creative Writing
One of the reason's that I got myself in this blog is the fact that I talk a lot and finding someone who could relate and actually respond to my rants is a skill itself. I figured why not just make a blog and just type away. This way I can release my thoughts and just rant all day long without thinking if someone has a violent reaction on the pieces that I compose.
Also, writing soothes me. It's a form of expression where I can just vent out about the things that pissed me. It's a non-violent act of getting back or just being angry without causing harm and/or discomfort to others. All these rants and so called reviews lead to the point where my girl told me to apply for a creative writing job. My only predicament. When I am ask to write, that is the time that I can't think of anything to write about. My mind shuts off and my fingers won't move.
It will be different once you are asked to write rather than just write to your own accord.
Cheers!

4th anniversary
It's our 4th year anniversary. And what do i have to show up for.... nothing, just a measly half a dozen white roses and a little card. Sucks being broke. She texted me earlier that it's really beautiful in which I replied that it is an understatement compared to how lucky I am for finding her and sharing the love we have for one another. I couldn't even pick her up from the office and treat her out to dinner.
damn schedule.
I swear I'ma make it up to her on Saturday.

onatology
It's amazing how time flies when you're having fun. All the laughter and brainless remarks are just priceless. Makes you wish that this never ends. Sadly, sooner or later, it has to.
My best buddy has left for Japan last Sunday.
I have mixed feelings about it. I'm glad that he finally got what he had been working for the most part of his life and that is going to the country which he loves so much and has a great fascination to.
Sad because my "wingman" will be miles away and the gimiks and talks will just never be the same.
I've treated my best bud as my very own brother to the extent that I already consider him a part of the family and my family considers him as one as well. "I watch your back you watch mine" that's how it goes for us. On the group he is the moderator when me or Rob are on the verge of doing something stupid. He poses as the big brother who lends us a hand when we're in need and also serves as the punisher when one of us messes up. He is basically the life of the party because of his signature laughs and "accidental" boastfulness. Although at times he can be such a pain to deal with because of his sudden mood swings. but it's all good.
A few days ago I received an email from him telling me how weird it was to be alone in a foreign country, how there's a lot of hipon there and how he's been doing for the past few days. I told him to just keep safe and be mindful of the people he comes across with.
This week has been a little weird. Mainly because I'm almost running solo when before he's just a text away for a drinking session or just a chill out at the local cafe. So far me and rob's keeping in-touch but it's just not the way it used to be. From the loud obnoxious people that we are when he was still here we're now a more reserved and subtle folks when we go out.
We miss him.
Now don't get me wrong we miss him on a non faggot way nor I am trying be defensive or anything. The trio has been together for as long as 10 years. It's just weird with the sudden change and all. Even if we have very busy schedules from our work and families we still manage to get together and just have a good time regardless where we are or how much money we have. Sometimes even if we're all flat broke we could still mange to have a good time.
It's all about the camaraderie that was formed from years of watching each others backs.

I don't really know how to end this, actually I don't want this to end. But then again it's not the end yet is it? It'll just be a long pause for the TBB's escapades and misadventures. Only time will tell on where we will be in the future, only time will tell if the friendship will be as strong as it was before. But I'm pretty confident that the brotherhood will not be weaken and will only strengthen as it goes.
So on behalf of the TBB, Take care of yourself there and keep safe. The next drinks are on you my friend! (sorry for the title man as you know your "name" already stuck or maybe you'd prefer to be call "bouncy", geez)
Until my next post. Cheers!

Ramblings
I'm bored to my wits here. It's not that there's really nothing much to do but rather I'd like to go somewhere I've never been. I just wanna drive and head to nowhere. Load up on gas and just drive up north or down south until I can't drive no more. I'm still looking for that escape of escapes that will let me think about what i really want in life and what really matters. Everyday seems to be a blur. A repetitive loop that doesn't seem to be leading to someting interesting.
I'd though a lot of writing about me and my friends or me and my lvoe lie or something that is more fictional than my life itself. But the white bull steadily locks it's gaze on me and sucks all my thoughts away. I don't know where to begin....
Just took a call.
Now where was I? Right, where to begin. I'm not really sure... I'm not really sure for the most part of my life. Decisions that have come to pass were not as smart as they should be or as my dad expects it to be. I've been working for almost 2 years and still haven't got much to show for. I get bored easily. It's actually a surprise to me that I managed to be in a relationship that will be almost 4 years with the same girl. Mainly because she's doing her part more than I was doing mine.
Just paused for a while to get another call. Done.
My friends once asked me If I plan on working for somebody else for the rest of my life. I told him "no". partly true and partly a lie.
True, because I don't want to take orders for the rest of my life.
Lie, because I can't seem to know what my next move will be.
It's frustrating knowing that I can ask for my dad's advice but I can't. I just can't find the strength to bring myself and ask him for help. For all I know he'll just tell me to go back to school and finish nursing. Part of myself wants to but about 3/4 of me doesn't want to.
Just took another call. Done.
I've been in this industry for the longest time. Some of my friends tell me that I was made for this job but I believe otherwise. *Sigh*
How about I just go into exile and really think of what I really want to do with my life? But then again, there's really no assurance that I'd get that piece of mind on what to do or what will my next step be.
Got a brief scare there. QA showed up from nowhere and advised me about some pointers I should always remember. Now I remember she's coaching my seatmate here and the mock calls reminded me of how dumb I was before I all got the hang of it. Difference is, He's better than i was during my initial calls. Anyhow, I'm already getting tired of rambling. Hopefully I'd get a thought of what to do next during my silence.
Cheers!

Training day
Nothing much to do here in the office for the past 2 weeks. As for today we're on training for the new systems that are going to be implemented in our LOB (line of busines). I worked for about an hour and a half then off to training until 4pm.
Will be picking up Salve later for dinner and still haven't had any decent amount of sleep this whole week.
For some reason I feel like I'll get bored when I sleep so I stay awake until the wee hours of the evening and then wake up at around 5:30 to go to work.
Got nothing much to say about anything aside from that the boy's night out has been pretty frequent because henry will be leaving the country soon. Sad excuse. Vigan trip is still not confirm.
Will be taking care of the requirements for the clearance from my previous employer to finally get my back pay. Hopefully it would be a considerable amount so I can buy that long pending phone I've been dreaming about.
I still got work tomorrow, PM shift, but nonetheless I think I'll be able to take a much deserve rest tonight and on Sunday.
Cheers.

TRUE or FALSE
Write YOUR 1st NAME if the statement is true. If it's false, UNDERLINE the word that makes it false.
Above was the instructions on my test yesterday. On instincts it will tell you to just write your name but this is a trick statement if you look closely. So instead of writing my name I instead wrote "YOUR 1st Name" if the statement was true. They told me I was wrong to have written what I have wrote, but this is how I understand it. I won't go to the details about this one because it's a really tiring and "nosebleed" explanation. To cut to the chase, the QA and me were able to chat about this and what seemed to be a good battle of wits turned out to be a tension filled, supervisor involved fiesta. I don't know if it was her way of retaining her credibility or making it clear that I'm just an agent, but with she coming over here yesterday with guns blazing was an act of a sore loser. When we were in IM she told me that it was good that i was fighting for what I believed was right and then out of nowhere she came over and told me that her supervisor told her that I am indeed wrong, when I already and clearly told her that I'll just leave it to her/their better judgement. She told me that it was confidential but is it confidential to have your QA come over to you desk while you were working with all of your colleagues and then bombard you with all these statements of which is clearly a desperate move to force you to understand their point( she did dit it sublte but nonetheless told one of the other tenure what happened, so much for confidentiality huh). Not only that. This morning when I came in. The QA was asking one of the tenures if she was the one feeding me the lines I should say during IM(instant message). I mean WTF right! Am I not capable of saying all those and actually knowing what they mean? That is added insult to injury. Althought she didn't say it straight she was implying that I couldn't have came up with all those rebottles on my own. Geez.
Anyway, I decided to just let it slide when she already came over but she won't have none of it. She still kept on telling me that I am now being inconcistent and that I should still fight for what I think is right. Well I would if she wasn't getting hysterical about it and if I know for a fact that her colleagues won't be biased just because she is the tenure.
I decided last night to just stop caring about them and do what I do. If I have questions I'll go directly to the TL or the Big Boss for answers. Atleast they are which I believe are more professional than their subordinates. I only wish that the they are very and as in very professionaly and un-biased.
Just venting out. until my next post...
Cheers!

Sat OT
I've been working for the past 2 years and this is the first time that I have to go to work for some OT shift. It's only a half day but before weekend mornings like these were spent in AANI with Salve as Saturday is Salve day. Anyway, I'm not complaining. It's actually a breath of fresh air to go to work on a Saturday. Maybe I'm only saying this now because it's my 1st time but then again we'll see if this enthusiasm continues in the following months.
Cheers!

Daywalker
I've been into the darkside and back again only to miss it and lookback on those days, but then again, change is always good. Maybe not immediately but definetely in the long run it will be worth everything I've worked for.
It's been almost a month since I resigned from my previous company. No more night shifts and stuff like last orders and liquor ban for me anymore. As of February 16, 2009 my nocturnal habits has ended and I am reborn as a "daywalker". A new beginning for something that's really getting old. New work, new faces, new systems, same old work. It's kind of new and at the same time old to think that I am one with the daywalkers that I was once had been with. Early morning talk shows, fresh bread. brewed coffee, the smell of sinangag and sunny side up eggs, rush hour traffic, pollution, people coming and going everywhere like there's no tomorrow. It's one big mess out there that seems orchestrated to the last note. I'm almost broke and still can't sleep properly at night but funny thing is I'm loving the transformation. I don't know if I'll still be saying this after a few months but then again nothing lasts forever right. What drives me.... I'm not really sure. But one thing I'm sure of is that I'm never really sure about almost everything.

Thanks
This may be the last blog that I write here in the office:
I have submitted my resignation letter earlier and it was already approved and all that is left is for me to complete the clearance. With respect to my colleagues this is what I wrote for them for being able to share my thoughts during the past 9 months.
Hi Guys,
In the end we are all seperate: our stories, no matter how similar, comes to a fork and diverge. We are drawn to each other because of our similarities, but it is our differences we must learn to respect.
As a number of you already know. I have decided to make it official and have submitted my formal resignation letter. The whole 9 months of working here at ePLDT Ventus has been a really interesting one. Here I've learned a lot, met a lot of people who've made a significant impact on my life no matter how much or how little it is.
For the UK OSG, I'm sorry to leave with so many leads at hand but I'm confident that you all will do just fine. Rachel, well thanks for all the eye opener remarks that you gave me, it helped and will continue to think back on those. Eric, well goodluck on your chosen path and stay as dettached as you are, that's your gift, cherish it. Oscar, may your stay here at UK osg be a pleasant one. Mac, thanks to you man I was able to bear the life here a bit more than I could, thanks for giving me the useful and not so useful links to pass the time I appreciate it truly.
For the SME's. This might be of nuisance to you guys to read this while you're all slumped at work. Paula learn to save up and on how to say no to people asking you for something, always leave something for yourself. Ces and Rhea, well take care of yourselves. Marcial, it's a new year so let's make it a point to lose some of our love handles. The night on something fishy shoud never be the last, we don't want you the only one having a high blood now do we. Don, always keep your head above water. don't let anyone or anything bring you down, well it's not like they can anyway. Show them what you're made of... well atleast try not to hurt anyone :)
Archie and July - try not to laugh but thanks for the brainless and witty humor that the both of you have showned me it has changed me completely. Drinks over at my place soon.
Mikey, I may not be the best agent you've had but I definetely tried to be one which in the process I was constantly and unconsciously offending you in ways I didn't realize are disrespectful. For that I'm sorry.

Eric, well goodluck on your chosen path and stay as dettached as you are, that's your gift, cherish it. Oscar, may your stay here at UK osg be a pleasant one. Mac, thanks to you man I was able to bear the life here a bit more than I could, thanks for giving me the useful and not so useful links to pass the time I appreciate it truly.
For the SME's. This might be of nuisance to you guys to read this while you're all slumped at work. Paula learn to save up and on how to say no to people asking you for something, always leave something for yourself. Ces and Rhea, well take care of yourselves. Marcial, it's a new year so let's make it a point to lose some of our love handles. The night on something fishy shoud never be the last, we don't want you the only one having a high blood now do we. Don, always keep your head above water. don't let anyone or anything bring you down, well it's not like they can anyway. Show them what you're made of... well atleast try not to hurt anyone :)
Archie and July - try not to laugh but thanks for the brainless and witty humor that the both of you have showned me it has changed me completely. Drinks over at my place soon.
Mikey, I may not be the best agent you've had but I definetely tried to be one which in the process I was constantly and unconsciously offending you in ways I didn't realize are disrespectful. For that I'm sorry.

New Year!!!
I welcomed the new year with blisters on my skin due to the mosquito bites I got from Bicol. Aside form those bites my vacation there was fantastic. I never thought I'd enjoy myself that much without cable or ps3. It was always a pleasure to go there and visit where my girlfriend grew up.
Going back...
I always thought of starting a new career mainly because of the late night shifts that I'm in. I may have decided too soon to tell my boss about my plans because we got into a small argument(again). I may have come in too strong to have said what i said but there really was no offense in what I said to him. I just want to have my options laid out to me before I do anything rash. Well I changed my mind on resigning, well mainly because I wasn't chosen for the job, and also to save up first and try to love what I do for the sake of my future. I haven't told my boss about this yet 'cause mainly I'm still thinking on landing a better job(dayshift) in the near future(fingers crossed). I have a few contacts here that I can call up and request for a job interview but I'm still having second thoughts mainly because I don't want to start from scratch again. But who am I really kiddin'. Given the chance that a dayshift gig gives me a job I would take it in a heart beat. My only lost would be the friends that I have come to respect here.
What made me think...
I visited this website where there are some tips on how to love your job(http://womentodaymagazine.com/career/lovejob.html) which made me thought for a while how blessed I am that I have one. This made me realize in a very small way that I shouldn't fret because my shift is during the night but rather be thankful that atleast I'm not hassled to dive into the rush hour of people coming and going about their lives every morning. The tasks I have aren't even close to be being difficult but rather it is my sickness that hinders me from completing it(laziness).
With all that out of my chest. I've decided to create, regardless how cliche it is, my new year's resolution.
1. get more exercise - lack of movement - lack of endorphins (happy hormones) = short fuse
2. quit bad habits - I'll try to lessen them ^_^
3. be more patient with people - refer to exercise
4. love my job - no comment
5. try not to be a smart-ass - I talk a lot and tend to ramble on and on and on.....
6. be thankful for whatever I have
7. respect others opinions - see number 5
8. love more, live more - we only got one chance at this so I better make it count.
So there...
Those are the resolutions that I plan on doing this year. It's not on any particular order but all of them, for me, is paramount.
Now back to work!
