eload and call cards

It's not a title of an album. hehe Of course, yun lang ang sinasabi ko everyday, almost every minute just to get the attention sa mga commuters. Oh well, a typical day. hehe Of course, life is kinda hard yet fulfilling. Perhaps, you start the day at the shop receiving a message from someone, someone that's kinda past. 

Oh well, I just replied back and give the info that the person needs. After that, siyempre, call some customers, parang sa outbound sales, please buy this and that. Then if somebody bought something, dun papasok ang upselling (which rarely works. hehehe)

I just look ahead and call another one. Then until 7pm, check my report, oh crap, I missed. How in the world I will earn? 

Back in my head, I realized, maybe, this is better than going to work, if worse, at this exact time, I will take a bath and take a ride to work. So, I will just stay this way, the normal way. 

Ok, cut the freaking crap. hehe

Ano nga ba. Hmmmmm. Wala naman bago, medyo adjust pa rin because I want to jog at the morning, kaso itong Ivan, gusto sa Uste pa. Wow. For what? hehe 

Oh, siyempre, may mga interesting sights sa shop. Hehehe Alam na ni Rheg yun. hahahaha

Don't worry bro, it's in the good hands. 

Ano pa? Wala naman ako balita sa mga brothers ko. But I am nothing to say as well. Sa other blog, anak ng tokwa si William, parang coming out ha. At least, di badet at di naging gummybear. hehehe

Now, I just feel, getting there. I mean, how I start my day, what will I need to do, you know... I just realized, why I need to go sa mahabang route and still ending up here. Maybe, it's a path. God's path I guess. Or maybe the stupid fate. However...

I don't regret taking the long way and going back here. 

Besides, it was a joyride back then. 

I just hope, it will be fine and ok.

Maybe, since ginagamit ko ang paragraph format, I will try this format, for a change. Like William said, "change of pace..."

first week of normality.

Like I told you, more "normal" words to come. hehe Anyway, what a first week. Getting up in the morning then go to the shop, sell some stuff. I am thinking putting that shop here. hehe I know it was kind of tiring, because unlike sa work, you will only work for 5 days, but this one, I need to come to the shop for 7 straight days. hehe So ang off ko eh now lang, Sunday, afternoon. 

Of course, since I am one man show, I need to be the salesman, the accountant, the messenger, and lastly, the manager. Siyempre, may technician me. hehe I will take some pics next week ng shop. Mahirap talaga. Grabe, pero compare this to the night shift, eto na lang. hehe Besides, I want to see that morning shine, badly? 

Even I don't reach the evening news, that's fine, nothing new I guess. hehe Well, I believe Thursday night, I met Joanne, kasi ayun, maraming utang na chismax to her. hehe Then last night, I am with Rheg with the earth hour date at Kabab. (which I did not know why the lights are off.) hehe 

To cap the week, it was extraordinary because I am now doing the normal thing. Normal life, normal things, except nasa room na si Gerro. hahaha I don't know what lies ahead. I don't even know what will happen to me in this, however, what I know, it will go for a long long time. 

Sana nga, dito masimulan ang gusto ko gawin. Alam ko mahirap, pero sa huli, ganito din naman ang punta ko. hehe Well, mukhang nagsisimula na ang bagong journey. Oh, by the way, I will be having a great break next week. Time to relax and reflect.. 

Nagtanong kaya si Rheg, pano kaya kung nagpakita siya sa shop? Sabi ko, bumili siya ng china phone or kahit ano sa shop. hahahaha

2nd and 3rd day

After a very short first day of working sa shop. Here came 2nd and 3rd day. Ayun, medyo nanghuhula pa sa price. May nabenta nga me china phone, sobrang baba than the expected price, pero binili pa rin. Nadala sa de-escalating kung baga. hehe Anak ng tokwa, all the principles in Business management applies everyday. From planning on how much I need to sell, to organizing our inventory, leading my two men shop, me and my technician. hehe And lastly, controlling, siyempre, kailangan makita din kung may progress.

I compare this to my previous jobs? I can feel, this is way better than going at work at night. I know, it's more pressured because I need to make sales for my own pay. hehe Pero I know, and I can feel, it's just normal. You will see more "normal" words later. hehe Ano pa nga ba. Pero nakakamiss din yun mga internet access sa office. hahaha Unlike this, kailangan ko umuwi to use my internet access. Pero ok lang, para magamit naman yun cable internet. Anyway, yun nga lang, walang VL. hehe 

Bad trip. Oh well, better like this than never. Nakakagulat pala nung day before I left. Wala na ang Dell Pasay. At buti na lang, di ako nakalipat sa Dell Pasay dati due to the ANZ queue. hehe Grabe, nakakagulat talaga, because they only done that Thursday morning, at kundi malas, naging outsource pa sila. hehehe That was close. Alam niyo naman, ayoko ko na sa outsource. hehe Of course, it was a great shock in Dell QC. Besides, we were worried because we may be next. Pero dahil sa stats namin, we were saved. I hope, na Dell QC will stay the same. Ayoko mapunta sa kung sinong sino outsource diyan. hehe 

However, that's life. Nothing changed. Maybe, a bit. In a day setting. Yeah, I just post at our freaking race at raceto2012.blogspot.com/. Sobrang tagalog ako sa letcheng blog. hehe Oh well, I don't know what's next, I just hope for the better. 

Oo nga pala, go Cleveland for the NBA Best record this season! Kawawa naman ang Lakers. Champion na si Lebron. hehe

What else, eto, I will get a normal rest. 

Normal word, again. 

first day of normal day

 woke up and of course it's morning! At last, I can smell morning scent. hehe Anyway, wala naman ako masulat, nahilo lang ako kahapon kasi sa pesteng counterstrike na gusto laruin ni Algerro. Di malabas ang bot, pero nun lumabas ang bot, ayun naghang. I give up, I got dizzy and slept. After that, nakita ko pa yun PBA na tambak yun Red Bull ng bente, then when I got online, ayun nanalo pa sila. hehe

Sobrang normal ng life. I cannot still believe it. I was able to sleep and got up early for jogging. I can't still believe, staring at the clouds showing sun upright. Parang nostalgic kumbaga. hehe After years of struggling or I though I won't sleep at night or even I can see the day normal, ayun, nangyari na agad kahapon. Very normal. Very indeed. 

Of course, after jogging like hell, at napagod, ayun bihis na agad for the shop. 4 years ago, and well many changed. Like loading sa Sun, sobrang hirap, di ko memorize agad. Yun globe and smart, same pa rin, nagkaiba lang sa mga choices. hehe Grabe, parang wala naman ako masabi pa today. Kasi naman, naghalf day lang suki, diyos ko dahil sa outing na dapat sa Linggo na nila ginawa. Kung kailan marami bumibili, dun naman natapos ang araw. Kala ko pa naman, makakapahinga ako. Anak ng tokwa, Mom is moving some things again, and I smell I am moving too. Ayun nga nangyari, lumipat ako ng room again. Good timing by Mom. Oh well..

After these days, I just hope na sana tuloy tuloy na to. I know, medyo marami pa ko gagamayin sa tindahan, but anyway sana magwork. My motivation? Not working at night, if possible, again. And of course, earning on my own pace. Be free I guess. hehe Para dina ko magiging gising kahit madaling araw, mahirap na kasi. hehe Pero bahala na, abangan ang susunod na kabanata. 

Mukhang nakakamis din ang Dell, lalo na ngayon, queing na naman sa lunes tapos maraming follow ups. (TM and coaches kayo na po bahala thanks!) hehe Then now, I should sleep first. A good night sleep. At last. 

Good night!

"resignation"

In Japanese, not the word itself, but usually what a Japanese employee do, is to present a letter with the words "resign" or whatever. You can see that in Japanese movies or j-drama. Folded white paper with those black characters. I like that kind of style. However, of course, it is not applied here. hehe

 

This was the exact date, way back 4 years ago starting to work in a call center. Wayback before, I chose this job because it is very hard to find a day job with a fulfilling or great pay. However, my options run out (which happened before I got to Dell as well) hehe, I joined Parlance (or Ventus ePLDT today). I thought that I am very fortunate to work with ePLDT until one and a half years later, I realized, I joined a very stiff company. hehe I missed my job there as a eCare specialist, answering customer care questions through email, meaning I have a day job and normal life. However, of course, due to budget constrains, I need to have a high pay. Of course, ePLDT won't do that.

I ended up going to the world's local bank, HSBC. HDPP for their BPO ops. September of 2006, I started working there, then I thought I will stay here for a long time. However, due to some stupid process in their end and some difficult loss in my family. I left them with a distressed feeling. Crappy feeling. hehe

After 3 months, of searching at least a regular day job which it did not happen until now, I found a company that almost solved all my problems. No kidding, it did, it is Well at Dell...

I know it was just a short stint, 14 months of memories of hardwork and fun, and I never thought I will be leaving this early. I will be leaving because of some new opportunity given to me by Kuya Alpro. Even it is not as big I get in Dell, at least, this is a business opportunity to at least keep one of his shops working properly. hehe I will take that risk. And I will do my best to get most of it and lastly, to earn on my own pace.

Anyway, I will definitely miss a lot of things in Dell. From the first day of onboarding till the last minute of my KANA email, I really cherished every moment here. There were bad times, oh not these times, but there was a time that I thought I will not make it, made it. There were good times, with the awards I got, the bonuses I received and especially the great support I have. Luckily, I got used of being laidback in work, even with many cases at hand, I can still breathe. hehe Teams that I joined, the trainers, urban chef, HR, and most importantly, the computer that I also stare at it. The benefits, payroll, the process (which is sometimes it's hard to explain to our customers. hehe) and the whole, the Dell QC site.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all the people I worked with. From the great TM Joanna and Coach Noel tandem, then to TM Batman and Robin, este (TM Mark and Coach Ron pala) hehe and lastly, to my very very kind TM Jun (she will be having a baby! Congrats TM) and coaches Joan and the very patient Grace. I am sorry as well for sometimes, shortcomings, and stupidity. hehe However, I owe a lot from you and I will use what I learned from all of you. The leadership qualities you shown on how to lead a team effectively and efficiently. I can say that because of the previous ranking of my teams. hehe 

 

I want to thank as well, especially to my former team mates, from team love a lot bear, secret bear and cozy heart (yes, all our teams are named after care bears!) hehe You know who you are and even I am quiet most of the time, I really enjoyed your company and working relationship.

 

Letche, tagalog na nga. hehe Basta, maraming salamat sa Dell, sobrang salamat at sana nga, sa Dell na yun first and last company na I worked with. Kung ganun, parang marami kong ipon siguro. hehehe Salamat sa mga TM ko, na sobrang supportive at naku, kung alam niyo, nahihiya talaga ko sa mga request ko and stats ko, pero buti naman I can say I helped your teams. hehe Sa mga coaches ko, na baka nakulitan na kayo ha. Sencia na. hehe Nakulitan sa kakatanong ko especially nung naging tier 2 ako. Thanks talaga a lot!

Sa mga kateam ko dati and hanggang sa huli, thank din sa kasiyahan na binigay niyo. Kahit tahimik ako, natutuwa pa ko, lalo na sa mga asaran saka mga banat ha. hehe Of course, mga team building, na di ko makakalimutan. Sa dami ng team building, di ko makakalimot ito.  Sa mga ka batch ko nung pumasok sa Dell, wag muna kayo umalis ha. 8 or 9 na lang kayo sa batch. hahaha Salamat kayo at nagtagal tayo kahit halos lahat nag tier 2 na. hehe Alam niyo naman san ako makikita, dito na lang sa blog or multiply. Lalo na sina Mamu, naku po, diyan lang kayo ha, kaya niyo na yan, kailangan niyo lang ng gamot. ahahaha Oh nakalimutan ko, yung internet connection sa office, it really helps lalo na sa stress moments. hehe 

 

Well, I won't keep it secret why I am leaving a good company from Dell. Simply, as you read in my previous blogs, if you did, between the lines, magbabantay ako ng shop ni Kuya. Yun offer niya kasi, maganda naman, kahit di malaki, kunin ko na lang, at least normal na buhay. Back to zero din. hehe Pero ok lang to, yun na lang pinapangarap ko sa buhay. Kahit di naman sigurado na mapapatagal ko pa yun shop, pero tingin ko, mapapatagal ko to. hehe Daan na lang kayo sa Suki Market in QC. Kaso wala naman ata malapit na kilala ko diyan na taga Mayon. hehe

 

I run out of words describing my working experience at Dell, like I said in my letter, I am forever grateful to Dell. Marami talaga siya natulong sa kin and I hope I can use it in other way. I hope I can still keep in touch to my former colleagues there.

 

You won't believe that it was a hard pill to swallow this kind of decision, kasi napaaga ang plan ko pagalis. I know aalis me ng Dell for some reason but not this early, lalo na maganda na stats ko sa SMB. hehe Pero sometimes, you have decisions that you need to think not only deeply but fast as well. Di ko naman regret na napaaga ang resign, pero dream ko naman kasi na to work at least in the morning. Medyo nagkakasakit na kasi ako saka gusto ko na din ng normal na buhay. Sayang lang talaga. I can say na talagang masaya ako sa pagstay and work at Dell.

 

I will always go back here at remember anything that made my stay worthwhile. I am very well at Dell!!!!

Badge number 706954, logging out.  

Farewell to Dell QC. Goodbye to corporate ladder I guess.

Wala pala ako pahinga after this. Sunday lang. hehe

before the last step

Yes, there will be a time, something will end, something will start for a new beginning. I don't know what will happen to me, but I know, this time, I will do my best to make it right. I got late today, peste kasi, talagang taghirap. hehe Nakita ko na yun sweldo ko, at ok naman, yun expenses lang ang hindi. Bad trip. hehe Ano pa ba. Oh, somebody has a multiply account already, fresh from Camiguin. Mukhang masayang masaya siya sa trip at maganda talaga ang Camiguin. Kung nagkataon pala, if my plans go through from past week, three is a party. Definitely. One from the past and one from the present. Nice meeting. hehe

Anyway, that was changed since it did not go through and falls apart. But that's fine. Let's move on.

Wala pa ko plans for weekend, but definitely, I will do one thing, get some regular rest. If I can visit or do something happily productivity to some friends, that will better as well. The raceto2012 blog is heating up, what will Ivan says about his status. Kung ako sa kanila, sabihin na nila ang dapat sabihin or nararamdaman nila. hehe Kung punching bag yun blog na yun, lamog na siguro sa mura. hahaha Lalo na si Raims. Anyway, english pa yun script nila ha. Parang maarte sa simula, pero di magtatagal, magtatagalog din sila. Mahirap kaya yun, I tried that last year!

Speaking of last year, I was able to reach one year of blogging! Happy Anniv dude. hahahaha Kahit I miss many days, however, I was able to post many topics I can. I will try to read them again, just for reminiscing. hehe I can say that I am proud of having this blog. I can say whatever things I want. I was able to control my feelings, even I know I should write it here. That's not censorship, it's just responsiblity to the other people might get involved. Like I said before, I hate keeping dark secrets. hehe

Peste talaga. hehe But with my blog, I was able to see myself, my true self. Kinda confusing but it really refreshing to see yourself in a different way. In a way that I knowing myself better. I am way far of achieving anything in this blog. Maybe, just a place to be myself, just be alone. If there is someone reading this, fine! If there is someone leaves a comment, great! Want to leave a rant or any comment? Great.

That's why, in the future, even if I have a family, maybe I will continue posting here or even when I got old.

What is my goal in this blog? To have a copy of my very very long tiring and fulfilling journey.

It will take many steps to get there..

And another journey will starts very soon..

Who wants to come with me? hehe

Birthdays!

Yes, two person I know have the same birthday yesterday, 03/18/09. One, former team mate of mine at HSBC days, which lumipat din. hehe Pero sa south, not in Dell. The other one? Let's say, someone known at the past. hehe Someone I say, the ideal lady. hehe Pero I hope she is ok and doing fine. For the past two days, it was a bit regular day. Wala naman bago, except done some wrong errands. hehe Tapos eto, panay isip ano gagawin na deck at ano gagawin for next week.

Weekend is approaching so thus the payday. hehe However, I know, at the end of the payday, I am flat broke. Good job! Ano kaya magawa these coming days. Pero grabe, sobrang pagod ako, kahit wala naman masyadong calls. Oh, there is one event this week that I am so surprised. Surprised that when I talked to Algerro, parang normal pa rin pero sa loob ko, nakakagulat yun ginawa niya. Parang ako nung Grade 1. hehehe Peste, well, after I saw some clips from the movie Chocolate, it is possible for that dude to do something shocking.

Damn. My birthday is not too far yet not too near, what will be the celebration this year? I am not expecting like a big birthday bash. hehe Hmmmm, parang simple celebration lang siguro, except kung may himala na masaya. hehe Ano pa nga ba. Wala naman bago. Wala din chismax from my friends. hehe


Nakita ko na din ang mga sine ngayon. Naku naman, ngayon pa lang ipapalabas ang Punisher. hehe Isang daan lang yan sa Hidalgo. Life is really ironic sometimes, and sometimes, there is a thing that you wanted later and keep this other thing going. However, if that thing you are hoping comes early, way beyond you expected, now, you want the other one to keep it for a long time. hehe Confusing?

Oh, it's not love. I won't use those kind of words for love.

However, you will know it by 2 days from now.

Change is inevitable.

it was her birthday...

Sunday, March 15, 2009, it was Rein's birthday. I thought I can post yesterday but due to some problems, errands and some crap, I was not able to do so. hehe Rheg was so surprised, and he reacted, "Adik ka na tol.. Lahat ng gagawin mo, para lang makausap siya.." Not the exact words, but the same meaning. Oh well, I told him. "Matagal ko na ginagawa bro, ngayon lang siya nagreply" hahahaha Her reply? Not exact words again but thanks for the letters, say hi to my friends and family, especially Algerro (my youngest brother and he calls her bestfriend) and take care. She also said hi to mom and pagaling siya due to what happen as you know.

Nevertheless, I felft something removed from me, it can be anxiety or sadness, not hatred of course. Parang natapos lahat, and it did put a smile on my face. Those simply replies made the bad events over. After that, until now, no replies and messages from her, but that's fine, I am glad she is happy, appreciate what I sent (even it is so simple) and moving on. Whatever happens, or if we meet again, no pretentions or hard feelings, we will look at each other as past lovers. Destiny will tell us, what we are going to be. Nah, I should not rely on fate, fate is determined sometimes by actions, actions that defy some gravity, which it costs us a lot.

Tama na nga yan, moving on. hehe Wala naman bago nung weekend, at nagDota naman ako to kill some spare time. However, I visited Algerro and Dad until Monday. Sabon na naman siyempre and yes, next week, it will be a different life, a different venture. Start a new journey, journey that I should start long ago. I will take the risk. hehe

Since napanood ko na ang Taken sa DVD, I did not need to watch it sa sine, I read a post that they are now working for a sequel, which I hope it will be good. I also read some blogs about controversial movies to watch. Here is the site if you're kinda curious, http://movies.ign.com/articles/961/961039p1.html. Disturbing movies of course, I already watched 2 of the 15 movies showed there, Audition (which is I don't want to end up with) and the brillant clockwork orange (very clever, sick and sarcastic opus by Kubrick).

I was able to watch the latest episode from Ippo New challenger series, well, galing na naman sa Manga pero medyo may niremove sila dun pero ganun din eh. I will check it again this week, sana maganda yun episode. hehe The blog at raceto2012.blogspot.com, the topic is heating up. Well, the topic about love will have an endless debate. It won't end and it will go on until 4 of us reach of what love is.

I can't blame their rants, and besides, everybody here wants to be loved or cared at least. Everybody wants to be with someone you can live on for the rest of your life. Naks. Anong nangyari sa kin? Wala. hehehe

Anyway, for this week, it will be a short and tiring one yet a fulfilling one as well. I don't know what will happen to me in the following weeks, but I am looking forward to better things.. Ahead.

To Rein, I already said everything I want to say, and I'm glad you respond. Even for a few words, that's fine. I appreaciate it. I just hope, that you'll be fine and good, good luck to your endeavors and God Bless as always. Remember, I am always here.. For you.. No matter what..

Well that's all for today. Kinda light yet tired of the work. hehe

Naku naman, gusto ko na magbakasyon!!!!!! Kaso all seems to fail this year. hehe

Good luck to next year.

Oh by the way, I see peas again. It saved me again. hahahaha

Leon

I bought a pirated DVD with all the hitman flicks or assasin flicks, yes you got it right, it included Hitman adaptation which is a fairly movie. Not good, not too bad. The reason I bought that 1 DVD bundle is because of one film that I was not able watch nor rent from Kuya Dong. Leon, the professional. Or in some titles, The professional. I don't know why I am so curious sa movie na yun, pero siguro it's assasins, Jean Reno and later, Natalie Portman?

Of course, alam natin san mas nakilala si Natalie, from Queen Amidala, mother of Luke and Leia at Star Wars. Pero for me, mas gusto ko siya sa Closer (which naaabutan ko sa HBO na laging huli na or tapos na, I should watch the whole movie later) and V for Vendetta. And the best? It is right here in her first debut. So, let's start. Kinda nostalgic I guess.

 

Nagulat ako sa player ni Kuya allan, di nagbreak down or nagloko sa mga new pirated DVD's. hehe So I am lucky to watch this film without any weird interruptions. Opening part is a simple running shot of New York, opening scene is a dude who speaks Italian, which was I thought it was French, there is a dude na umiinom ng gatas, a dude na may circle glasses, and that is Leon, the iconic look, the poster for the movie. Siyempre, after that, he goes for a regular hit job. On how he executed, mukhang expert si Leon ha. hehe Kala ko tatapusin niya yun boss, pero masunurin pala siya. hehe He can kill that boss in a instant pero may utos pala na takutin siya.

After that, Leon went home and doing the same routine in his life. While walking to his pod, he saw a girl, medyo pasaway, smoking 12 year old girl. Then a day past, her Dad and beloved family, lalo na yun brother nya, tinodas. Actually, dapat mapapatay si Mathilda (Natalie Portman's character), kaso di siya nakilala ni Gary Oldman, or the crooked cop, DEA cop. hehe Then siyempre malapit lang yun pod ni Leon so she went there instead, then first, Leon doesn't want to involve with her, but oh well, due to some conscience, he let her in to his house. Mathilda is alive. Then the love story of sort began, which involves killing as well. hehe

Mathilda wants to be a cleaner as well, but Leon doesn't want to, but he left no choice to train her. From rifle's, pistol cleaning and plant cleaning, excercise and bringing him some milk. hehe  The chain and ring trick of course. hehe However, there were times na masyado ata naatat si Mathilda to kill the cops, pero nahuli siya mismo ng cop and held hostage. Well that was almost at the end. 

Pero, siyempre, di nagtatapos dun. Leon saved Mathilda and they were trapped kasi yun boss ni Leon kumanta. In the end, Leon got killed and the cop as well. hehe 

However, the film is really good. The moments of Leon and Mathilda together, it's really touching, Mathilda really stands out, like she will take care of the drama aspect and Leon will take care of the action stuff. hehe Lalo na yun ending, kahit medyo malungkot, at least nakuha ng justice si Mathilda. Sayang lang di sila nagsama. 

I agree what the other says, one of the best films in the history, simple because of the performances, from Gary Oldman who only showed few scenes, to the mob boss who only says he is better than the bank and the 2 main stars. Of course, the action scenes, very accurate and realistic, simply great even yung scene na paano niya tinumba yun swat na magisa si Leon. hehe Tapos yun soundtrack niya maganda din, I just discovered Bjork has already a song there, way back 1994, ibig sabihin matagal na pala siya. hehe The end song, tamang tama, shape of my heart from Sting. Dun talaga ako nagulat, very refreshing kasi saka tamang tama sa ending. 

It was really a good movie, many scenes to remember, kahit yun controversial scene of Leon and Mathilda, ako din nagulat. hehe

I should have his glasses, Leon's glasses.

Nice rounded glasses and his supressors. hehe

Movie Marathon 2

Of course, pagkatapos manood ng Wanted, natulog and tried to watch other tv programs. hehe Monday came and dapat, di na ko manonood, but it changed my mind when lunch came, panoorin ko na yun ibang DVD na binili ko. The next one I watched was Taken. Ipapalabas pa lang siya later sa mga sinehan. hehe Of course, the one I got is European version, the only difference was yun Taken was released in Europe last year pa, so yun mga credits are French. Definitely, the dialogue is English, so there should no problem with that. hehe

Taken is about a dad who allowed her daughter to go at Paris for a trip. Siyempre, ang Dad eh medyo strict due to his past work. His past work, is not detailed, pero mukhang black ops or former agent, like CIA or NHS, pero he is deadly ha. Bago yun trip, nagbody guard siya ng singer for a night. hehe While his ex-wife, not worrying so much about the trip because it's France, allowed her daughter. By the way, the daughter need to have a sort of letter of consent signed by her Dad for the trip. Liam Neeson stars by the way as the dad. So siyempre, nagsinungaling yun daughter in some ways, like they went to Paris to watch U2. Good job!! hehe Sana ako din. hehe

Dalawa lang sila ng friend niya went to Paris then they met someone at the airport, a dude who is cool kuno. Then after that, yun daughter and her friend, went home, tawag siyempre si Dad, worry sa only daughter. While talking, yun friend biglang kinidnap, tapos natakot siyempre yun daughter. Dad gave instructions to the daughter, including she will be taken by the kidnapers. hehe That scene alone was really sad especially when Liam already speaking to the kidnapers, begging to just give his daughter back or they will end up dead. After that scene, Liam's character started to move and discovered that her daughter was caught by an organization who is into human smuggling, persons ending up as prostitutes, meaning, kawawa ang daughter niya pag wala siya ginawa.

Nagstart siya from the place of kidnapping, then the airport, then different people na kinausap niya, pero mas marami yun pinatay niya sa mga dumukot sa anak niya. hahaha The ending? Well, nakuha ng isang mayaman arabo yun anak niya then tinodas ni Liam. hehe Gusto umareglo pero parang killing machine talaga si Liam.

The whole movie was really good, may dull moments pero sulit kasi magaling si Liam Neeson. Yun mga moves niya parang bata siya, compare to Bourne, parang siya si Bourne na retired na. hehe Of course, walang amnesia. Pero sa Taken, may torture method siya ha, I believe Bourne, walang siyang torture method na alam pero siyempre, di na kailangan kasi killing machine naman siya eh. hehe

Taken is a must see, parang Wanted ang feeling. Taken was produced by Luc Besson, the dude who like's assasin or espionage at his own writing. However, the next film I watched, is my fave Luc Besson, I thought it was Fifth Element, but the next movie, it is a classic.

He is the Professional.

Movie Marathon

Of course, sabi nga ni Ivan, yun post ko sa Race to 2012 site eh naging personal blog ko na. hehe But when I saw and read it, parang di naman. Napahaba lang siguro kasi mas nauna ako nag post dun than here at my own. Now, since Im kinda addicted, I will take my free time to post here. At last, that was a long time na nagpost ako while working. hehe Good job dude, is this how I will spend my last days? hehe

By the way, speaking of watching the Watchmen twice, I bought some DVD's from of course, Hidalgo. hehe I bought some films that I eager to watch, missed to watch, well curious to watch and a new one. Most of them action flicks. Bakit? Kasi yun unang pinili ko, Cloverfield, sci fi action, hehe Labo no? Pero yun sumunod, puro action na talaga. Oh well, hmmmmm nothing new this weekend, as in, I just spent my time tinkering my profiles, fixing my computer, checking some status, hehe and ayun, buy some stuff. Last week, naaddict ako sa DOTA, pero this Sunday, mukhang tapos na ang DOTA days, medyo behind na pala ako. Iba na ang dating ng mga hero. Peste. hehe

Let's move forward, while I am still keeping my avail, hmmmm what will I do this week? I have a training coming up. Another work load. hehe Keep 'em coming. Oh, next week, there will be 2 birthday celebs. One is of course, very familiar, very close and very lovely. Then the another one, the one I called, my ideal lady. hehe I guess we will have hi's and hello in her birthday.

Anyway, I am not sure, what will I write in "her" birthday, something romantic I guess, or something dark, not hatred, just realism I believe, or something plain. I don't know. But definitely, it will be my last note to her. Parang hirap pa ko magisip, lalo na di ako nakatulog nung Lunes. Sa kapapanood ng letcheng DVD. hehe Mukhang di muna pala ako matutuloy sa Sagada, depende kung may himala sa VL request ko. Pero malamang, malabo. Tapos, yun isang plano ko pa eh naudlot, kasi siyempre, tinigilan ako, kamikazee/suicide mission daw. hehehe VL problems na din, and funds as well. Like I said in the 2012 post, I believe, it is not important to do that.

So, let's move on to movies. Hmmm, I think, I will devote the Watchmen review later. Not at this tight pace. hehe How about other movies. Simulan natin sa Cloverfield. Nung napanood ko sa Youtube, way back a year ago, like the trailer, na curious talaga ako kung pano nangyari yun, at panu tinapon na lang yun ulo ng Statue of Liberty. hehe Good thing about the DVD one, malinaw and crisp, just to get the docu effect of the scifi movie.

I started watching it, then yes, the usual conservation, tweetums effect caught on tape tapos ayun, may party for the bida kuno, farewell party. Siyempre, if there is a farewell party, there is unfinished business, ayun nag away ang magsweetheart then the girl left. Oh by the way, makulit yun kumukuha yun video. hehe Lalo na yun part na kinukulit nya yun type niya. hehe Deadma naman ang chick. After the heart break of the bida, ayun, disaster strikes, biglang sumulpot ang monster. Then, each one of them dies, miserably, and siyempre nasave yun isang chick, I mean the love of the bida, (kahit nakatusok na sa wire, ayun buhay pa!!) Di man lang natetano. Pero in the end, napasabugan din sila kasama ng monster, I don't know if the monster lives. I am sure, todas ang lovers. hehe There were different endings, same effect. hehe

Well, the film has it's own merit, at least the concept is very good, blair witch project na godzilla story. Yun thrills, nandun siyempre, lalo na yun takbo sila ng takbo, then yun effects ang galing, kahit di pulido, pero pwedeng pwede. But the movie itself has flaws, not big but it did affect the pace of the movie. I don't know bakit ang story nung babe (by the way, name ng chick sa film Beth) eh natusok sa unit niya at malayo, parang yun lang nagpatagal sa film, which is maiksi din kung tutuusin. hehe They followed her at her unit then ayun, buhay pa. Wow. hehe Sana naman, ibang plot na lang, kasi even you believe the one you love is still alive, even a slightest chance, naman, halimaw naman ang kalaban mo, you need to move on, save your self!! hehehe Tapos, there are questions, how the monster really show up, or any backstory behind it? Siguro, dapat, pinahaba nila yun movie, I mean, reinventing the plot and whatsoever, pero same thrills, mas panalo siguro yun movie. Good thing, may DVD na to, if I'd watch at a cinema for around 150? baka lugi. hehe Pero ok lang un movie.

Let's move forward, after finishing a thrilling movie, I moved to another film which I missed last year, Wanted. From the famous Russian director of Night Watch movies, he directed a good cast ha. I watched the trailer and due to the coolness and action packed shots, of course, I promised to watch in theater. However, some promises meant to be broken, I was not able to watch it. hehe Crap. Anyway, I bought the DVD anyway. The film is simple, a geek, worn out, stressed dude in work, who is getting beaten up by his boss, cheated by his best friend, and girlfriend as well, got tired. Ah, of course, it started when somebody tried to kill him and every moment comes through.

Until he discovers that everything was a lie and started going berserk against the Fraternity. I thought Morgan Freeman's character will be lucky, but it was not, he was unlucky. hehe

Wanted, well more crappy plot but tons of fun and action. Good thing about Wanted, is the actors they have, even in that kind of plot, they really pulled it off. Lalo na yun action scenes and movements na I don't know how they do it, like stunts or CG. hehe So it was really good pagdating sa techinicalities. Poor in story kasi naman, di naman sila lumayo, same place whatever, kahit yun ending, kala ko san matotodas si Sloan(Freeman). hehe Si Fox (Jolie) is great, even that I predict, end up dead. Do you think Lara Croft should be like that in Wanted? hehe Tomb Raider wouldn't be boring. Of course, if I watched this in cinema, hmmm my 150 bucks worth it for this one, but not multiple watchings. The thrills and fun I got from this one compare to Cloverfield, or how about Quantum, baka mas tiyagaan ko pa to. hehe We forgot James Mcavoy, well, he is good, kaso, nahalata pa rin yun pagka british niya. hehe Pero di naman kasi malinaw kung san yun Wanted, either in US or UK. Oh well, good film. Kudos to the director as well.

Of course, I watched other films as well. hehe Pero itutuloy ko na lang sa susunod na post.

Well, don't ask me if I was able to watch E-heads. I did not watch it, I missed a once in a lifetime concert. Crap!!!!!!!!!! hehe Anyway, I will just listen to their CD's. Or watch the concert at DVD.

Hidalgo is always there.

the end is nigh

Well, February was a forgettable month, few posts, things happened, Mom got sick, got broke, got sick, got tired due to my growing cases. Good job. Very good job dude. hehe Time has come for some changes, very important changes. I never thought that mapapaaga ang pagbabago. hehe 

What it will be? Oh by the way, may ad na ko sa blogger ko, kahit kaunti. hehehehe Aayusin ko to sometime. I don't want to write a long blog for now, medyo ngayon pa ko nagaayos ng gamit, especially my computer. hehe I found a tool pala for detecting YM users. hehe I got addicted to Hajime no Ippo series, which I really liked, especially the manga and anime. Tapos yun bago, ang galing, direct adaptation pa. hehehe Now, hmmmm eto, I just watched Watchmen twice!!! The film is really good, good adaption from novel to movie. A very rare feat. That's why I like Rorschach, never compromise. hehe 

Well, life has been this hard these days. Pero, oh well may matatapos na. Sana tuloy tuloy na. hehe Ano pa ba? Wala naman bago, oh ayun pala, nagkita kami ng CRAP, or mga gummybears. hehe At nagulat sila sa dapat kong gagawin. Pero siyempre natigil ang plano. Baka magamit ang plan ko ng di oras hehe and besides, di na ko maka VL or bakasyon man lang, fund shortage as well. hehe I will just send her a gift or a simple greeting. I miss posting here. 

I miss my rants, stupidity, cruelty and simply my mirror. I just finished my post at the race to 2012 blog. Anak ng tokwa, wala pa naman nauuna sa min, walang gusto magbayad. hehe

Oh well, I will just spend my time today, resting, thinking, slacking, playing and enjoying my life. 

The End is Nigh. Something will change, something will go, something will come. 

Very soon. Right?

Oh not my facebook account, I haven't touched that for a very long time. Oh crap.
