God saved the best for last. =)

I can't believe one, 6 months passed at may bonus! hehe Second eh akalain mo ang pinagrap ko dati na sana umaga tapos backoffice tapos 6am-3pm.. Through prayers and hard work. Magkakatotoo na. Thank God! hehe Ok lang ang Sat shift basta wag naman buong month. hehe

I can't believe na I did endure yun mga pahirap ng midshift, with the new TL and of course, the work itself. Not including pa siyempre bago kaming lahat. Now, ok na ok na. Except siyempre malilipat kami ng bagong work sa dept kaya parang back to start ulit kami. Ok lang, umaga na, at walang rushing to take those calls. Or is there any? =)

Lastly, I never imagined that I'll be in a catholic community then actively joining activities or events. Gusto ko lang makita yun mga writers from Didache, now.. Well, Connect Group head na. hehe I did not really want to, pero as for the passage of time, and with the support na din, and from God, why not? Said Yes to his call. Let's start from hear. hehe Part na talaga ko ng LOJ nito. With the blessing na din from the Holy Spirit, and with enduring love from Jesus. =)

With all these things, despite sa mga nangyari at yun mga ibang pinagagawa sa kin, I'm definitely happy. =) Happy to stay, happy to serve. Parang SM save more lang. hehe

Bonus pa ang pagkapanalo ng Alaska! Yeah!!!

Of course it's not all happy, like I said at the end of the month lang to. Previous weeks were hectic! Sa work, may iniintindi akong stats, nalate pa ko ng 2 beses. Tapos, sa bahay, siyempre alam na. hehe Di matapos na mga problema. Yung ibang plano ko na ok na, mukhang mauudlot pa because of those problems. hehehe Pero salamat talaga from Him, naiiraos din araw araw kahit papano. At bonus na si Gerro eh biglang gusto magbakasyon sa min! hehe Yehey. At laging siyang calm. =)

Naman, natalo OKC, wala naman kasi Russ. Tapos MEM na kala mo sure na sa SAS, nasweep! hehe Bad trip. Well, asa na lang sa MIA. Although gusto ko si Pop this year talaga kaso siyempre, MEM,MIA and OKC ako. Isa na lang natitira. Kaya ni Lebron yan. hehe

PBA, siyempre dissappointing yun ROS, nasibak ng Ginebra kasi naman sa import nila. Pero babawi yan next conference. Saka di na naman BPC si Abueva, ano ba naman yan. hehe Basta ang team ko ROS or Alaska, masaya na at nakakausad sa PBA. Kahit dati pa well after Ginebra nung bata ako, kaso yun eh pagtagal, mas maganda silang panoorin kaysa yun ibang team. Di lahat superstar pero grabe naman kung manalo. =)

This May, well, I thought extension ng April na medyo so-so and tiring. But this one, sa huli mukhang tuloy tuloy naman ang ginhawa at kahit papano less stress. =) Thanks to all, and thanks to Him. 

Looking bright at June, at sakto, ehem.. Getting a year older. 

alive at five!

Can you believe, nawala na ang multiply, obsolete na ang friendster... Nagbawas na ko sa blog, buhay pa ang blog ko!!!! hahahaha

Hay, naghanap na ko ng domain prices, may idea na ko, kaso yun lang. Tight budget at ang computer ganun pa din. hehe Pero malamang this year, matutuloy na ang changes na ito. Problema lang eh wala ako copy ng blog ko. Ngayon ko lang naisip na kailangan may draft ako ng blog ko. I can't retrieve sa multiply because of their failure. 

Five years, still I'm still writing, ranting, dreaming, cursing, and loving. hehe I never dream a hobby that I can be freely expressing such thoughts, or being passionate about it. Without any monetary rewards. I'll see if I can earn something doing this, in the future. 

First of all, I want to thank God for having this hobby or passion for the past 5 years. At first, eto eh avenue ko lang from being depressed or heart broken at that time, now it transformed into something na magagamit ko or for some creative avenue. Being expressive even I'm an introvert. As much I want to do many, eh I end up doing this for a very long time that became one of my love. Parang close friends. Kung girlfriend ko lang ito, pinakasalan ko na! hahaha =)

Second, I want to thank readers, if there is any. hehe From bots, to real people. My family, friends and others. Kahit walang comment, whether it's bad or good, which sana in the future pag naayos ko na, eh maging viral ito. hehe Ah yeah, if I inspire or whatever you feel after reading one of my posts, salamat pa din from the bottom of my deepest heart. =) I'll do my best to really do something more. Like I said, I have plans for a movie blogsite but mukhang focus muna dito to improve my blog site turning into my personal website. Thanks for those who left comments, personal comments to me, kahit simpleng like lang sa FB site ok na ok na ko. 

Third, I promise that I'll write more stuff but still due to personal safety, kaunti lang ireveal ko names or so.. Unless they demanded to. hehe Thank you blogger.com for this, I hope sometime may reward din ang site na to. =) I'll do my best na humaba pa ang site ko ito.. This is the longest work I've done, despite no monetary, or even benefits, or whatever, I'm still doing it kahit may days na tinatamad na ko, or days na wala na ko maisip kung ano pa isusulat ko.. =(

I'm still here, writing.. Blogging. Thanks! =)


Let's fix it at six!!!!!! Yeah!!

flashbacks: Cooler Summer

(Summer Lovin')

I haven't seen her for a while, for exactly more than a year.. 

Hmmmm musta na kaya siya? Anyway, this part eh di ko talaga nasulat pa dati pa because it happened around 3rd year. That time, di pa sikat ang blogging, sikat pa ang friendster, at Counterstrike pa. Samba craze and yes, summer job. OJT crap.

That time, wala naman required OJT ang business admin course sa UST, but to be at least competitive in the market, eh we decided, small group of friends sa section namin to have OJT. We tried to look for a better OJT package but dahil sa daming tulong binigay ng UST (wala talaga, as in!) We end up sa PLDT. At maganda, dito lang malapit sa bahay namin. hehe

Lagi ako dumadaan dun kahit dati pa, even HS days thinking ano kaya nasa loob nun besides it's a payment center for your PLDT bills, ano pa kaya? Well, yun ang opportunity namin. Pero before you can be a OJT dun, you need to get like ID and authorization sa PLDT manda office nila. Ang layo noh? Dun naman kasi yun kanilang main HR office. Ang tagal namin naghintay noon. Grabe, parang 7am pa lang nakapila na kami then mga after lunch na kami natapos. I forgot kung sino yun buong group, but what I remember, nandun malamang si ungas na Al, ako, Number 3, I'm not sure kay Kathy pero parang kasama siya dun. hehe At may iba pa eh, di ko lang sure, pero ang sure, basta yun barkada ni Al halos nandun.

Siyempre, special dun si Number 3. hehe That time, we were just having great time together pag sa skul at sa gimikan. Although that time, I can't really go for broke para sa kanya kasi may BF siya nun. Scary pa. hehe But I don't know, that time, it's just why are we that such close to each other... Siguro pesteng math subject yun. hehe Pero I'm lucky that time, two lovely ladies at my sides, one at my left and she at my right. Kung beautiful scenery lang paguusapan, di ko na kailangan tumingin sa malayo. hahaha

But anyhow, well, what are we doing sa OJT? Grabe, calling deliquent accounts, at mahaba ang listahan nila! Grabe. Ang sarap nga ng buhay nung ibang kasama ko, may time na petiks, samantala ako, yun boss ko that time, pinauubos sa kin yun listahan! Wala pa ko kasamang classmate! hehehe Pero yun lang.. 8 hours kami nandun, admin work and calling customers, then that's it. That time, I'm not really focusing on that OJT, despite siguro dun ako naging phone eccentric person, kasi outbound to the max talaga.. I'm looking forward talaga that time, after work. Siyempre yun iba deretcho uwi, kami naman ni Number 3, we ain't done yet. hahaha

Going sa bahay namin to watch Knock out anime, yun is Ippo ang bida. Siyempre both kaming anime fan. Tapos, that time, gimik! Punta sa St. Scho to meet her best friends, one of them, Joyce Jimenez look alike. hehe Bilyar malapit sa St. Paul manila, tapos siyempre may kasamang inom din. At yun paresan ngayon sa tapat ng Mcdo sa may retiro, bilyaran yun dati, naalala ko pa, may inuman din, minsan nagpalibre pa isang boss namin sa OJT. hehe

Punta din kami sa RP, then  other malls din. Tambay din sa bahay minsan.. Bahay nila at minsan nakakalusot na inuman din. At inuman din sa bahay namin, which is true and nothing else. hahaha Those stuff, pretty I can say, growing up stuff. Kaya sa dami ng beses ko hatid sa bahay nila, nalaman ko yun balut, and the tondo area until now. Geez.. Never changed lalo na pag gabi, at scary dun. 

I admit that time, as I'm a dumbfounded sa love. I felt that way before, from the day na lagi na siya nagpapaturo sa math, until the day we talked about why we can't be together which was just past years ago lang.. Alam ko I knew love I felt. That summer made it na nagpalakas pa ng feeling. I mean, we spent more time and closeness each other than it's own routine. We fought din paminsan minsan na di ko alam kung bakit. Her at that time with BF, while I'm focusing studying, planning sa future noon, at yeah nacut short ako sa OJT kasi operahan ako nun at last sa bukol ko sa ulo and siyempre that time, nursing a broken heart from Number 5. hehe It was harsh, pero ganun talaga.. But for number 3, that time, that summer, we never talk about it. I felt and knew, it will be trouble or it may destroy yun friendship namin na mayroon na kami even we have some moments, na I just can't believe it. hahaha Put it that way. 

That summer was kinda special, to cap it off, eh siya yun unang dumalaw sa kin nung naoperahan ako. hehe 

Years passed by, I had a relationship with number 1 but it did not last long. She did not end up with her BF, but she had a lot of let's say encounters pero did not go off due to complicated circumstances. We still meet, have fun and yeah, talked much serious things and these past years, college days. Our days. hahaha Even my family still looking for her, even tita is looking for me or her sis for some time. I'm surprised nga she did not have a relationship after her ex, despite nagpaparamdam siya at almost the same building, galing. hehe But yeah, remained single.

Ah yeah, nakita na din ng counselor ko 'to, tama assessment niya. Iba ang trip, di ako. hehe

I gave her something some years ago, said what I felt and end up...

She really didn't feel the same way as I do. Well, I have to move on. Pakana kasi pag nakikita ko siya, iba eh. hahaha And from her as well, pero ganun talaga. After that, yeah move on, when I see her, parang normal close friend, little sis as I can recall, number 2 is the big sis, and I wish, she'll find a partner that will really take care of her. I know medyo boyish siya, mataray pa, hehe But deep inside, a real woman. Paano ba naman walang BF, eh grabe ang taste ni ate, weird kaysa sa kin. hehe 

Pag ako naayos ko na ang dating ko, ewan ko pa pag di pa maiba ng isip. hahahaha Malabo na siguro yun.

I wonder, well sobrang busy na siya coz she went to a different bank na pala.. Higher education holder and I don't know if she is still using that car. hehe Anyway, I hope she's ok and one day, she'll have a family in her own. I can't imagine her not settling down.

Especially when you have a face that can launch a thousand ships, without make up. =)

unplanned 46

Hay, kay ayos ng buhay ko. hehe

Well, I want to be simple as it is but due to ouside forces I simply can't. 

For now, I hope medyo humupa or matapos lang para I can do other things. 

Speaking of other "things" eh mukhang magiging masaya ang June! After years of not having fun sa June or trouble sa June always, this year will be different. 

I can't wait for that morning change. hehe Bad trip tong MEM, mukhang di pa aabot ng Finals! hahaha MIA mukhang mahihirapan pa sa IND. Hay, di bale, maaga pa yan.. Malalaman natin kung sino mag finals kung umabot na ng mga game 5 ang natitirang apat na team. 

Wala na tatalo sa Alaska!!! hehe Yun lang, no need for explanation, words to explain.. Just look what they did sa Gaynebra, este Ginebra. Natatawa talaga ako sa  mga comments for that past PBA finals. Grabe, asaran, lokohan na.. Wrong grammar. Wrong spelling. hehehe Kakatuwa lang. Basta ang sure, may nagwalis. hehe

I hope June will be somewhat the time for me to do na regular excercise. Since fit na fit ang sked, what else can I ask for? =) May isa pa pala, mukhang matutuloy na ang pagserve.. hehe Hay it will be another different experience and I'm looking forward to it. Ang tanong lang, may sasali sa group ko kaya? hehe

Are the days numbered for this running computer? I hope Algerro will use it now and I'll use a new one. 

For this time, I'm just full of hope not only for June but onwards, I mean I thought sa sked pa lang di na mangyayari pero biglaan na eto na, tapos parang naiba agad ang mga plano ko sa buhay for this next half of the year. I mean same goals pero parang mas marami pa ko magagawa. Although marami naman ako nagagawa sa midshift, but this one, kinda a lot more. =)

I'm excited and looking forward this June and beyond!!!!!

Despite some great tasks to do and ayun, solving some separate problems. =(

Nah, I'm still excited! =) 

Forget it, and let's go.. Let the sun shine while working. 

New things might be in grasp or at least.. In reach.

flashbacks: SWK

One of the well, enriching exercises for students! Seatwork! hehe Usually ginagawa sa notebook, filler, 1/4, 1/2 or kung buenas eh sa long pad paper. Kakamiss itong ginagawa kasi ngayon ko lang naisip na that was the killing time to finish yun isang period or getting close sa iyong classmates. Ewan ko ba, siguro sa seatworks eh dito ko napractice when I'm young, writing or blogging.

Remember, SWK sa english eh usually write 5-10 sentences to a certain topic or gist of the story, eh ako parang di ako satifisfied noon na hanggang 5 lang masulat ko or minimum sentences. Or sometimes kulang ang 10 sentences. hehe I strived for more, kaya pag test even when I got old, inuuna ko yun essay writing, or write an article or so. Geez, kaya siguro eto na, I have my one blogsite. 

SWK also helps well, camaraderie sa classmates. Yun mga nangaaway sayo, nagiging friends mo dahil one of the activities is this. Siyempre kopyahan, turuan ko paano gawin lalo na sa Math na seatworks at yun nalalaman mo talaga kung sino ang mga kaklase mo. 

At minsan ang SWK ay time para, alam na. hehehe Lalo na pag may titser sa harap at medyo maganda.. Diskarte na to! hahaha Yun isa may hawak na salamin at yun iba na ayaw lumalapit sa blackboard or pumunta sa harap, biglang una pipila sa harap para "magpacheck kuno" hahaha Mga style talaga. Geez.. 

But other than, well siyempre marami pang activities nagpatulong sa kin na gumaling or even others, despite with technology or other teaching styles.. Yun seatwork nakakatulong eh una team work lalo na kung may grouping and work under pressure, kahit di naman kasama sa or maliit lang percentage sa grading ng banda, matuto magtrabaho under time pressure lalo na paglaki. Active kung baga sa skills and social motor ng student. Unless kung talagang pasaway ang bata. 

At nakakatulong din maging abilidad ang bata, paano kumopya, parang testing stage. hehehe Kasi pagdating sa ibang gagawin eh alam na, dun na masusubok ang bata. 

I don't why ang abbreviation eh SWK. Pwede ata SW lang ata. Weird.

Parang yun homework, HWK naman. =(

Beyond Second

Every Sunday for me, I always feel a first timer at the Feast. =) Then it became two years. hehe

Two years in a beat, I can't believe that despite sa mga nangyari for me, eh I still believe in a brighter day.

Two days from now, one workshop will make me, a servant sa community. hehe Never in the back of my mind before na not only joining in a catholic community but also serving pa. All I want before is just to see those writers sa Didache, like of course, Bro. Bo. =) Now, I have a pic with him, tapos nagpapirma pa ko ng libro niya. hehe

Along those years, I never felt na this optimisitic and laid back. Of course di pwede laid back sa work and other stuff, or errands, I mean pagkatapos ng lahat na pressure or stress, take a rest, give praise na tapos na at ayun sabak ulit. 

With LOJ, I met a lot of people, different classes sa buhay.. Thanks siyempre sa 2 CG sinalihan ko, one from Sis April then ito with Sis Mitch sa Call center CG. Ang dami ko nakilala at siyempre mga friends na din. hehe Sa mga outreach and activities na ginawa namin with those CG eh napasaya pa lalo being in a community and of course serving the less fortunate. Ah dapat pala bigyan ng malaking pasasalamat si Doc Ian kasi sa mga gamot na idodonate niya lagi tuwing humihingi ako sa kanya. =) At after these years, akalain mo nafeature na mga CG namin sa bulletin. Nasawa na nga ako sa pic ko sa the feast bulletin! hahaha Very fun yet proud!

Too many to mention to those people I've known.. Sobrang dami nila. hehe Sana we can still meet after the sessions, at nakakatuwa na halos sila nagseserve na sa different ministries.

I want to thank of course LOJ for the recollections, programs, hmmmmm KCON siyempre, lahat na natutunan ko or kahit minsan di na ko nakikinig dahil siyempre sa pagod or tight sked, I had fun naman. hehe I definitely won't forget the speakers not only made me laugh but also had a everlasting impression how to live with God's infinite love everyday. Naks. Deep. hehe

Ah to all the Feast builders, siyempre salamat for having that patience and boundless energy to make every session worthwhile. Hmmm Naisip ko mahirap talaga maging builder. Lalo na if you're targeting a certain audience or growth, due to expenses din, but they never stop. With the help of all the ministries, making the Feast sa bawat location eh one of the happiest place on earth! As they always say. =) Mahirap din maging role model, or leader to be exact for a community. Kaya kailangan natin din sila ipagpray lagi. hehe

I want to thank LOJ, for this wonderful experience, as time goes by for me, parang nagiging closer ako kay God, especially recognizing Jesus with the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is true na like nasabi ko sa isang interview, it helped to heal me, my past failures to move on na at higit sa lahat appreciate God's love. At nachange ko yun image of God that is merciful, loving and grateful one. 

Like now, with many unfortunate events, I never stop praying, serving at least and loving God because I know, these struggles won't be long, God's love is forever. =) Of course, minsan pagkapasaway pa din, pero now I'm motivated to do things for a change, and I know I can do it not alone, but with Jesus' promises and now with the blessing ng Holy Spirit, I can feel that whatever problems I face, it's not the end for me. Or even for us. =)

I feel that once now I serve for the community with a great work sked na.. hahahaha 

This is just the beginning of something greater that God has prepared for me. =) 

I can't wait for it. Just say yes to Him!

Let Loose at La Luz!

Hay, after that pressured packed week, mabuti na lang talaga at etong company na to may summer outing! hehe It's been a while since di pa ko nag company sponsored summer outing! Last time was around 3 years ako, CME pa. But that was fun, this time, fun din. =)  I heard na this place which is right at San Juan, Batangas eh maganda daw at ok sa amenities. I heard well sa team mate, at dating ka team mate ko sa 24/7 which mukhang lagi siya nagpupunta dun.

Well, I don't really expect so much of it but what I expect is to relax and go back to that really great place. San Juan, Batangas eh nakapunta na ko thanks to that outing with CRAP around, 5 years ago, at sa kabilang part pa yun. This time, after that early ride sa bus with the company at siyempre yun team ko eh same time span, around 4-5 hours. 5 hours kasi itong mamang bus driver eh naligaw pa, sa Quezon pa ata kami dadalhin! hahaha

We arrived at nagulat naman ako, ang laki ng resort, bigger than the one na napuntahan namin ng CRAP. With the matching counter, tapos cottages at rooms, mukhang ok ha. hehe Then ayun, parang nasa maliit na cottage na made of bamboo na comfortable, siguro mas sulit pa kaunti kayo. hehe Kaso yun lang, mahal daw dun but the looks of it, sulit.

As much I want to just lay down and relax for the whole day, it did not happen. Akalain mo may program pala sila. hehe From singing and dancing programs, then competition na panalo ang SE!!!! Tug of war pa naman at nilabas talaga ang buong energy namin. hehe Some band playing na di ko alam nung lumapit ako nung hapon. hehe Well, sa dami sumama siyempre mahirap kumain, pila talaga at waiting to the max. Patience indeed tested, kaya mabuti pala nakakain na ko sa bus at kumuha talaga ako ng marami nung turn ko na! hehe Kahit sa pagalis, ganun pa din. What I really enjoyed sa affair na yun, siyempre team bonding sa team kahit hilo hilo at wasted na lahat. hehe Knowing other teams at swimming sa beach after a long time! Mabuti umaraw eh, kasi makulimlim noong nakapunta kami.

Tapos yun favorite ko of the day? Yun nakahiga ako sa bench at the other side. Just looking up at that blue sky and feel the cool breeze even sa ganun kainit. Talagang nafeel ko kahit sandali ang summer. Sabagay, matagal na din ako di nakakaouting, dapat mayroon with CRAP, kaso nacancel eh. Mabuti na lang may ganun moment na tahimik tapos presko at serene.. Hay.. I hope I can spend that whole afternoon doing that, just at happy and peace..

Kaso pesteng FLUOR team building eh nandun pala sila! Erghhh... Ang ingay, doing team activities and sh*t! hehe Dsturbed my silent sanctuary, but I promise, I'll have that kind of endeavor sometime. Mas gusto ko yun ganun tapos less swimming. Ayun nakiswimming na lang ako sa ibang team.

We left around 5pm, bad trip kasing priority bus yun dapat 4pm ang alis pero wrong bus daw. Kaya ayun lipat lipat din pag may time. hehe Ah, to cap off, La Luz is definitely worth going back into, lalo na pag di naplan ang vacation kasi malapit lang naman. Food is great, it's just yun pagserve eh malabo, but I'll forgive na lang kasi 600 naman yun tao. hehe Masarap, lalo na yun adobo, at yun chopsuey. Ambiance is great lalo pag di crowded. Ok ang program ng Stellar sa outing ha, at least organized and not trying to do a lot. Besides, it's a summer program, kahit yun sa xmas program dapat ganun lang, kaunting program, kung may prize pabigay na agad, at higit sa lahat, pakain na agad! hehe

Yun nga lang, as much I want to be sober for wow 6 months and running, di man lang ako nakatikim ng light! Draft beer daw dadalhin eh nung nakita ko yun lata, sabi ko.. Malabo dumating sa kin to. hahahaha Ok lang, weird but I"m happy, medyo lumalayo na sa beer na ko ha. Wow. Even hard drinks, parang di pa ko nakakatikim ulit. Is it really me?

Anyway, after this summer I can say, at least nakaranas ako ng summer outing.

Let loose for a while perhaps. =)

Ring! Ring!

(MOA/Pasay)


I can't believe that this place will be a BPO hub. It's scary at that Pasay Taft area, I thought of how on earth will be any BPO offices here. SM owners are quite clever, because they own almost the whole stretch of Macapagal blvd with their biggest mall, not only condo's. But also why not office spaces. Why I don't like working in this place? First of all, it's not good for the people who works at night, I'm very sorry to my friend who's working there as a TL. hehe But that's true, I mean if your work starts at 12am, how you will get there? Ride a jeep then a bus going to MOA? At that freaking time? No damn way!! hahaha It's very dangerous at that place, Pasay Taft route, well like me.. That time, it's 3am and I almost got mugged then don't forget news or stories about mugging, snatching, you name it. They show up especially at night. That's why I really want to avoid being at that place in the darkest hours of night. You can take a cab.

But cab going there is expensive, I mean it's expensive than going to Makati! You can go there especially by means of Jeep/FX then ride a mini  cab, but sad to say, mini cabs won't be there 10pm onwards. If your work is in the rush hours, damn it's difficult. Well, all routes going to PNB, GSIS/Senate or any place before MOA, that's the best terminal to ride on but not great place to ride on at rush hours, you might still end up hanging at that mini cab or take a cab. Geez..

Not everything is bad here. There are some companies that are woth checking out or apply especially if you're quite near here. Try it here.

Teleperformance (formerly known as DELL Pasay Site) - If you're walking around MOA then looking at the Teleperformance center, that was a DELL site before. Yes, once famous and great DELL site that when I resigned from DELL QC around 2009, sad to say it was sold to TP. The reason? One big factor was the customers that they were dealing with. DHS to be exact. I mean, home and consumer customers that was being handled by a team here, they were given a bad score despite they are giving away everything! From credit, printers, or worse even a new system! Then customers will just give a failing grade to those poor agents. They are such monsters! hahaha But sad to say, business is business, that's why one by one, they transferring agents to the QC site until they've decided to close it down and sell it to TP. Before they won't disclose who will the new owner of the site. hehe Sad part was yeah it's the first Dell site and even Michael Dell visited here and there was a time, all TSR's dreaming of applying or even working there.

TP already runs the site, and as you all know they have great ads and billboards but.. That's it. hehe Before I know they have Adobe, but now what I know the have Telstra SME account like their Mandaluyong site.


Maersk - Nope, you're reading it right, they have another center at MOA but it caters more of our local clients. When I went there, it's quite crowded because of course who they cater too. I thought that I could work as a AR specialist with free SAP training! But well.. They did not contact me after I firmly believe I passed their test. Maybe I'll just try again in the future. News here, hmmmmm local pay but yeah, normal office hours. But that position I want to apply again, I hope it's still available soon! hehe

EXL - One of my former coaches that became TL today, now is working here. I have no idea how this company works but what I know Indians kinda have the majority owner of this company. Like Maersk, they are in the one ecomm building which has Fitness First at the ground floor and Mdonald's. Their one account handling is a medical insurance type and their new acquired account last year is a travel account which it has free training in the US! It is a real pioneer account! hehe That's the one I applied for but unfortunately, they did not call me. I don't know how good or bad this company is but you can try. 

Teletech - The main office of the one of the biggest call center companies here. Right with the league of TP, CVG and them. Well, I'll save the ranting later at one site that I worked with them. But definitely, one bad experience I can say was when I called their main office. A lot of options, a lot of IVR crap, ended up I searched the internet, found the number of the office I worked with then that's it. Their main office number or whatever it is, worthless.. Save the bad things for them later! Oh, I forgot, all that I've known worked at this site, left.. Either relocation or worse, management. Closing down LOB's. Geez.. For all I've known who worked there left due to this, only left I've known came from this site, still working but thinking of getting out as well. hehe I forgot, it houses Telstra's DTV account and chat as well.. That's for sure.

Other BPO companies that are here, Stream which has surprisingly and still living Dish Network,  ACS for a student loan account if I'm correct or whatever, and that's it. hehe I don't know but definitely, worth to check them out if you need a job. Oh, sorry I forgot, the main SM offices are here. 

MOA stands for Mall of Asia, and as much I don't really like the ambiance, especially if it's very hot then your near at the sea.. It's damn huge but it has less airconditioner which I do understand why. But for me, it's not really good place to stroll or walk around. Jogging perhaps. Other I just don't know why they want going here. hehe Don't forget, no signal for Globe and worse for Sun Cellular! Smart only works all the time. Damn.. 

But great thing for MOA is all the things you need or want are there, you can stroll around then eat or treat all kinds of cuisine, you can shop for gadgets, all the SM stores and other stores, even you can shop for a SM condo, buy now! hehe At night, yeah, bars and restos are just at the bay. Great thing is when you are near at the terminal, and there is a fx going straight near at our home, it's easier to go home. 

I mean this place yeah it's nice especially if you're going to work here. After work, just few steps away and you're in to all places you need and want. It is an ideal place for work or living. It's near at the airport or even highway going to provinces!

But for me... Forget it!!!

Kung Ako'y Isang...

(aspiring pulitiko)


Of course nasubukan ko na maging President. hehe Well, I haven't touch other positions sa government pero this time, try ko naman kung paano kaya, marami akong pera at sa sobrang dami, in my wildest crap imagination and feel of doing crappy public service and want to get rich more... hahahaha What will I do if I run for a position sa government, siyempre kailangan manalo sa eleksyon. At paano yun? Let's list down some ideas.

1. Big investment (pang sugal na pera) Siyempre pagtatakbo ka, ala naman hihingi ka pa sa mga so called donation from other people unless of course mayroon nga. Kaya ayun, kailangan bigtime ka at talagang may pangsunog ka ng pera. Parang sugal lang yan, pagpumusta ka at nanalo, edi jackpot, bawi na pag nakaupo ka na! hehe Or pag natalo aba eh yun lang, tuyo tuyo din pag may time. hehe Kaya di ko maintindihan yun iba, talo na noong last eleksyon, tumatakbo pa din ngayon.. Grabe ang cashflow nila. Eh kung ako pala ay anak o kamag anak ni ganito at may pera na, kahit walang experience basta may pangalan, aba tatakbo ako! hahaha Kahit makapal ang pez.

2. Right, effective and competent people. (at least yun magtratrabaho for 6 months for campaigning) I did not share before, na Mom used to run one time as kagawad, at ngayon ko lang naalala na napasama pala ako sa kampanya like giving flyers, kumakatok sa pinto, doing posters made from sako at iba pa. Kapagod at sama mo pa yun pakain sa min. hehe Well, it's mom kaya ok lang, pero kung ako tatakbo, siyempre yun iba sa family pwede. Tapos mga kaibigan mo din, at volunteers kuno pero babayaran mo naman. hehehehe Campaign manager na aayos sa panggugulo mo este pangangampanya mo pala. Tapos siya na din bahala for ads, tarpaulin, motorcade, even social media blast eh dapat planado niya. Kung kailangan ng artista, go! hahaha Basta sige mamaya sa baba about those stars crap. Basta pili na lang yun mga taong alam mo maasahan sa kampanya, kagaya kahapon, yun mga squater na naglalagay ng poster ha. Pwede na yun, at least madali lang kausap.

3.  Right marketing este campaign strategy (yun strategy na talagang boboto ka ng tao) Siyempre di na pwede yun style dati na paliga, pa pageant ni ganito, donate sa ganyan or ayusin yun kalsada (which may nakakalusot pa din ngayon!) sa panahon ng eleksyon. You need to do the effective way, (yes not the moral, or even lawful way of campaigning). Example, pasko pa lang eh may mga ads ka na with a certain product na siyempre makilala ka na ng tao or kahit greetings. Or how about may malaking billboard ka na about a certain product na ikaw yun endorser. Oh ha, siyempre medyo makilala ka na, pero di pa sure shot yun. "Kay Alfredo, ikaw panalo!" May slogan na ko. hahaha You need to have a great catchy, kahit crappy sloggan just to catch the voters. Kaya yun mga artista malaki na chance eh, siyempre gaya sabi ni Mom but no offense because of our society, kahit no read no write at kilala yun tao, voter won't care sa platforms. They vote the dude. Simple as that. Like I said kanina, kung may malaking funds ka, get a star. Who looks familar, looks fresh, get a dance or band to play the jingle, have a catchy jingle, be viral, get an endorser kahit trapo o artista na talagang magaatract ng botante and please at least malinaw magsalita. Please lang... Kaya yun isang big star sa TV, wala ata kumukuha sa kanya kasi bulol magsalita, o well sabi niya di daw magpapagamit. Ows? hahaha Mabuti pa yun child star na kahit magisa siya sa show, eh malinaw at malakas ang boses. Oh, tsigurado este sigurado. hehe At pag miting de avance na dapat lahat ibigay na, wag na mahiya sa tao. Yun iba, aba eh napasama lang sa eleksyon kasi pinilit ni dad or mom, ayun pag kampanya, nahihiya, sino boboto dun? hehehehe

Pag motorcade, dapat pahabaan ng convoy, hindi pakalat kalat. Or at least pag araw di ba? Wala naman nagmotorcade na umuulan gaya nung nakita ko. Grabe todo prepare si Ate, kaso yun biglang tumakbo at ang convoy, paulan na. Sayang. hahaha Basta marami pa naman style diyan, med mission pwede ng isang org pero lagay mo care of ganito, oh edi may boto na. Or kung ikaw ay medyo di maganda sa personal, eh daanin na lang sa magandang poster, may photoshop naman eh. Kung di pa din swak, magpatawa ka na lang. Basta please wag ilalagay sa poster or tarp, "parang awa nyo na, iboto!" Tapos ang career mo. hehe

4. Plataporma, pangako, vision (basta yun mga magandang pakinggan na iboboto ka ng tao pero hindi naman gagawin.) Sad to say, kahit ngayon eh ganun naman ang pulitiko. Kaya mabuti pa yun mga religious leaders or some businessman, ginagawa ang kanilang sinasabi, yun pulitiko, salita lang. Geez.. Eh kung ako, malamang ganun. hehe Ganun eh, kailangan ng boto. Pero kung ako, sasabihin ko na lang yun kung ano yun di ko kaya at yung kayang gawin, at siyempre yun ikakatulong ng lahat. Eh for example, I'll do my best to make city hall office transactions orderly and convenient, which is plausible and possible. Madali lang yun, di gaya ng iba eh hanggang ngayon, going to city hall is such a chore. Worse than other govt offices. Geez. hehe O kaya peace and order, may police lagi, or mga tanod. Basta yun simple at yun possible at talagang makakatulong. Hindi yun magpapahirap gaya ng raise ng real estate tax? Come on. 

5. Apply for the position na kaya mo (hindi, di naman masama mangarap, mataas agad!) Ah di ko na pahahabain pa, self explanatory na po to. Basta advice at kung ako lang, mababa muna tapos pasikat pagtagal, hindi yun congressman agad, or vice mayor, or mayor or worse, Senador agad. Minsan pag may time, stretch your dreams. hehe

6. Huli eh maging tapat sa tao pag nanalo (pag natalo wait for 3 years ulit unless pati barangay patusin mo na) Tama, God or others bestowed you to become a servant not for yourself but for other people who has dreams, or hope na mabuhay as citizen. Don't dash those hopes or dreams, just help to make them true. Help na well, not give all because of the resources you have eh limited, pero marami ways to serve all at siyempre maging maayos yun bayan. Kung ako lang, eh siyempre todo ang service, make laws that are relevant, or make people or yun hinahawakan mo office na maging tapat at maayos. Influence kung baga na tapat sa tao, mabilis na serbisyo.. Hindi yun lagay muna bago lakaran yun papeles mo. Paano tayo uunlad. Oh kaya, sige gawin mo lahat muna na tama tapos pag may side business ka, medyo malinis ha. Hindi yun sasabit ka. hehe Basta pagnakaupo ka na, kaunti hiya naman.

Yun lang, at sana pagdating ng panahon eh di ko gagawin to. hehe Pero kung maganda ang leadership ng govt natin at nakikita ko na and feel at least lahat eh working hard towards the progress of people, the country..

Why not? I'll now make my own posters. Not photoshoped. =)
