Damn I haven't done this for a long time. Being away from my comfort things and stuff. Or let's say reducing the usual stuff that makes me happy or comfortable such as playing DOTA or watching my own film fest. A lot of things limiting besides playing or watching, I need to really focus on reading and learning again. Oh by the way, I'm not really going out even with my closest friends before.
I just want to be isolated here. My simple sanctuary, my room. Great thing, Bro is not here despite I'm quite prepared for him but it made easier when he left. Thank God. I can just look at the things at hand. I know these small sacrifices are worth it especially when I reach my dream which is just past that certification and from there, bigger things will come.
I know it will be difficult for me, but I have no other choice. But to strive hard and work it out, despite I have not studying accounting for a decade coupled with a computer program that involves accounting. Geez, I know my knack for computer applications, the trial and error mindset will not work. I might need help.
However, no one is free to help me. So, I need to just look around for more source of help. Books will be a great start.
Music will be silenced when studying. Thoughts should be at the topic at hand not wandering into something bright or going into abyss.
Even texting is limited which is fine.. Nobody bothers me to check anyway unless there is something important or lovely.
Oh dear God, maybe with this utter desertion, it's between you and me. If you can just lend me such wisdom to know all of this in just 2 to 3 weeks, that will be wonderful. I know you gave me such challenge that I can overcome. You have faith in me, and love me.. Maybe, I'll just bank on that.
For now, while writing this, I already thinking headaches in the coming weeks because it will not only be information overload that'll getting but more of a nerve wracking excercise.
But great thing in Isolation, when I'm alone and at peace, feeling of anxiety or despair won't bother me a bit. It will happen if I did not do my best. So I should do my best here.
For the Glory.
Perhaps, love will be a great companion to this isolation.
Not feeling alone when you're in love. =)
I thought MIRC days were over. Prehistoric na ata yun, at wala na siguro gumagamit. Kung may nakalogin dun, dalawang klaseng tao yun, actually isa lang. Isa bot, at isa di na nakamove on sa MIRC. hehe
I read an article in Philippine Star about a certain dating site which well, features stats na kung match kayo, ano hilig, then some notes about yourself then siyempre pictures. The article was about the writer's friend who tried using this site and then met somebody tapos fiance na ata. Well I forgot yun ending basta alam ko naging sila nung nagkita sila. OkCupid is the name of this dating site. Okc for short, not Oklahoma Thunder. hehe
Since di naman bago sa kin ang online chat or dating site, well, it's free so let's try! hahahaha
MIRC like I said one of the best despite it's already fading out in terms of gamitan. FB was not useful of meeting new people. Finding or locating old acquaintances oo pero not meeting new people. Add ng add lang ng friend di naman nagmessage. hehe
ICQ I did not try it. It sucked. YM hmmmm di naman siya like searching new people, sa chat oo pero may ibang channel, weird at ginagawang.. Den. Alam na. hehehe Kahit ako nashock so wala din nangyari.
Tagged was kinda cool pero sino sino lang nandun at pugad din ng, alam na. hehe Or even encounters perhaps. I stayed away from that site.
This one sa OkC eh something different. You can see all the profiles at minsan nakakatawa, from fine looking to exotic individuals, and some mali ata ng tinitignan. Sabi ko ladies lang pwede tumingin, may makulit eh, mga badet. hehe At speaking of that, may iba, kala mo yun na pero di pala, te di tayo talo! hahaha Wonders of change.
Maganda sa OkC, actually I liked a lot of features first yun sino bumisita sa profile mo at makikita mo kung sino. Kung type mo, message agad! Kung hindi, just leave it. hehe Tapos it has profile display na makikita mo kung sino yun tao. From hobbies, preference sa food, what kind of music, even movies na din. Yun iba, sobra mag describe kala mo essay test! Yun iba short and straight forward, yun iba feeling ganun. hehe Yun iba, wala malagay.. Then yun match percentage na feature ayos din and I must say medyo accurate ha. hehehe
Ewan ko yun enemy percentage part pero di ko masyado tinitignan eh. Pero yun match percentage mukhang accurate, like pag nagmessage ka sa mga around for example 70% yun girl na interesado, may 50% chance magrereply. Pag mababa yun match rate, well, malabo na yun magreply kahit kulitin mo.
Of course, you can leave some pics and taglines and albums but no vids or music. Then you can bookmark yun mga napuntahan mo kasi pag nagonline sila, makikita mo agad sila. Tapos may feature na para madali yun match, may part dun na just answer a ton of questions, para makahanap ng match for you. Then everyday, nagbibigay din siya ng matches na fit in your profile. You can delete them or malay mo trip mo yun profile. hehe
As usual, ingat lang kasi may iba yun nasa pic at iba pagnakita mo na. Well, caution lang. Kaya ang style, medyo tagalan mo makilala yun person then ask more pics or pag eye ball na, dun ka sa malayo at tignan mo kung siya talaga yun. Kung hindi, naku alis na.. Baka ano mangyari sayo. At yes, may mga ganun tao dito. Kaya ingat baka masilat! hehe
This is what I like sa OkC. Hmmmm the crowd here is quite tight! hehe I mean I have my preference at nakikita ko dito, and good thing, may iba nakakamessage mo! Well, yun iba di tumagal until meeting or texting. Yun iba, some of it, I met them. hehe
Surprisingly, for example a lot of ladies who are taking masters eh may OkC! hehe Or managers, or sa BPO naku marami. Hot and Single Moms, then the rest, simple and kind. Hmmm ah pwede mo pala iset yun kung sino yun gusto mo makita like age tapos san lugar and sorts. Tapos, may isa, TV anchor ha, pero di sa sikat na TV station. hehe A lot of good looking ladies and interesting ones. I can say, kung sa unang years ng MIRC which has a great crowd tapos pagtagal naging jologs na hehe Here, I can say pwede mo filter and you'll get what you need. It's a matter how to meet them personally. Yun iba, grabe makaenglish ha, kala makakajackpot ng foreigner. =) Effort ang mga te. hehe
Ivan says I'm quite lucky sa ganito. Well, kinda. hehe I already met in person some of them. Totoo naman sila. hehe Ah, still looking and searching more. Pero pagtagal mukhang masasara ko na yun profile ko. Hehe Kasi pagtagal parang pakaunti na lang yun makakausap mo. Yun iba kasi nakabook mark nga, di naman sumasagot or worse nagsara na.
Will I find the one in this site? Hmmmm I can't say. As long I'm continue meeting some of them then tuloy lang. hehe I'll close it once well nakahanap na. haha I met really cool and interesting ladies and good looking. Kakatawa, yun mga iniisip kong preferences, well nakakilala na ko. For example, a lady who likes rock and Joy Division, which I thought di ako makakilala in person or kung mayroon, well nakakilala ko siya. hehe Or somebody who loves movies, nakakilala ko din siya. So, kung may tiyaga ka dito well, you'll find interesting people here. Even a lady who is really good in website or in computers, nakakilala ko na, although we haven't met. There is one na naglalaro ng basketball at nag NBA 3 on 3 na! Mabuti di ko niyaya magbasketball, kangkungan ako. hehe
Well, iba pa din yun referral from friends, or sa work or if you have money and time, clubbing is the best! hehe But as much I want to do that, mukhang malabo na because of priorities and work na din.
Yun referral, suko na ko. Nasawa na sila sa kakarefer sa kin. hehe Wala kasi nangyayari. Sa work, hmmmm bihira ako magkagusto or even date a colleague, crush lang. hahaha Pero wala din.
Here, tipid kasi net lang ang kailangan. You can do it anytime just wait for a reply from that person. And best of all, you can really choose.
Or like what my late prof advised..
Pick and pick then select!
Of course, select just one as your loving partner. =)
This site is indeed a cupid!
Just don't be stupid. hehe
Ang bilis ng one year, the fastest one in my BPO career. I can't even imagine staying in this company despite it has a quite complicated backoffice work and the lowest salary I had.
Still...
I was able to buy a lot, new shoes, pants, or even some things I want. hehe O kahit may nababayaran na ko, may natitira pa naman sa kin to buy things. Nakakapahinga ako ng maigi except some months this year kasi sa sobrang busy sa mga inuutos sa kin. Pero masarap magpahinga sa hapon. hehe
I haven't experienced burnout pa naman unlike sa mga dating work or endeavor. Paano ba naman, pag mahirap ang task eh pahinga muna.. Punta dito o doon! hehe Chismax muna o kung mahirap ang task, tanong din sa support. hehe Stress oo, nakaexperience pero pagpatak ng uwian.. Uwian na, bukas na lang yan task na yan.
How beautiful magwork sa eastwood ng umaga, malapit na, madali nang pumasok. Mabuti na lang wala pang rush hour ang pasok ko kung hindi, grabe parang Makati na pala ang trapik dito! Kaya ok paguwian na. hehe Kahit medyo matrapik sa Cubao. Mura pa pamasahe.
I'm not tired of getting up, yun parang ba looking forward to just finish the day kasi alam mo di naman matagal. Lalo na pag 5am ang pasok kasi napabilis matapos ang shift, pati yun off. hehe Meaning ni isang araw, walang sakit na katam.. Eh pag may calls to, panay gamit ko siguro ng SL/VL. hehe Eh VL lang nagamit ko dito.
Meaning I had a great year here because sa mga nabanggit ko. Akalain mo na tatagal ako dito. Naisip ko nga sana di na lang ako nagteletech at deretcho na ko dito. Kaso ganun talaga, minsan may dadaanan ka na di mo expected.
I am happy here, kasama siyempre yun natitira sa batch 12. hehe Siyempre sa team ko din na napakasupportive kahit mabaliw na kami lahat. We have a TL pa na inside and out, maganda ugali. First time in my career. hahaha With other great set of TL's, at dahil sa LOB ko, di routinary pero sana routinary kasi ang hirap ng tasks namin, tapos yun napakadali. Daya! hehe With fun team mates at supportive naman ang upper management despite high targets.. We still work as a team pa din kahit may disagreements or conflicts.. Sa huli basta gawin ang trabaho, malaki ang uwi. hehe
Malaki din pala ang tulong noong over profit, lalo na sa kalagitnaan ng taon, aba, naramdaman ko ang profit!! hehe Kaya nakakabayad na, tapos nakakabili pa. Reward talaga pag may hard work na kasama. hehe
I admit, eto lang ang center, before 1 year, I received a lot of souvenirs. Most na ito. hehe 3 shirts, 1 lineyard, a bag and lunch box na hanggang ngayon di ko pa binubuksan. Well Dell has really a lot of quality souvenirs pero itong Stellar, mararmi na nabigay. Yun iba diyan, ehem.. Jacket lang binigay kahit matagal na. hehe
They have a good HR, kung anong request, bigay agad. Great sana kaso well, may some chismax. hehe Bad ones, but in my experience, ok lang. Yun iba kasi medyo alat sa HR. Clinic has some problems, not sa kin kasi bihira lang ako pumunta. Pero may magandang puntahan sa clinic pag nandun siya. hehe
I mean, the clinic has some lack of meds. Lalo na yun ibang cases na mefanamic acid lang ang binibigay nila which is it shouldn't be. Although yun maxicare and medicard coverage is good, kaso mahal pag may dependent. Mabuti tapos na ko sa ganun. hehe Payroll, well, ok naman I just don't like BDO sa payroll at yun time ng payroll nila, gabi na! Ang hirap minsan. I hope they can just switch sa BPI at maaga ang sweldo. hehe At ang tax, grabe, sana may refund!! Yun isang cut off ko, record, ngayon ko lang nakakita na 3K ang awas sa kin tapos mapupunta lang kay Jeane Napoles!! Ok lang. hehe Hindi ok, kung kay Janet Napoles lang, wag na!! Pesteng tax to, parang kung kailan lumiit sahod at makakuha na ok na bonus, dun tumaas! Bwisit na gobyernong ito. hehe
Nakakatuwa naman dito, now lang sila nagstart to put some RnR events! hahaha Old skul pa.. Unlike sa mga dating companies na nagwork ako, welcome talaga ang employees at maraming events. Dito, medyo budgeted. hehe Pero I understand because sa management style nila which is Open Book Management.
Sa lahat ng naging work ko eh eto yun pinakatransparent. Lalo na sa targets, eh san ka naman nakakita, araw araw ang monitor ng kita ng LOB. Yun ibang center, walang ganito tapos gulatan pa pag wala na ang LOB. hehe Here we know and confident that we hit targets, keep the client stay and kung may profit, edi alam na.. Saka may time sila to get the points from reps. May say kung baga.
QA here, well, sa simula hirap ako pero nung nagtagal, ayos pala. I mean basta halos lahat ng task ginawa mo tama, papasa ka sa month. Kaso may time talagang may kasamang malas, sa sobrang pagmamadali eh yun may itlog na task. Pero mabuti papalitan nila kasi at least wala na auto fail no. Grabe kasi. hehe
At first, I thought and I admit naghanap din ako nang lilipatan kasi ang liit ng sahod and weird work. Pero as months goes by, and learned the ropes, aba ayos naman pala dito. Sana ganito yun mga unang work ko. Nice sked, people, bonus and work. Plus environment. =) No wonder, kahit may mga umaalis pero di yun lahat umaalis everyday. It's worth working and staying for a while.
Thank God, natupad yun wish ko dati pa.. While working pa sa Dell noon, naisip ko sana I can work dito din sa eastwood but in a great morning regular shift.
4 years later with a lot happened in my life, he gave it to me! Despite long tests sa HR and grueling interview and actually I applied sa airline account which turns out high attrition pala..
He put me here. No voice that coming through in my ears everyday. No irritating voice, accents or even reasons why customer calls. Nothing for a year and it's so pleasing in my ears. = )
At least, may pace na pwedeng pahinga tapos todo ulit.. May sariling sked ng breaks.. At iba pa..
Damn, sana after 24/7, dumeretcho na ko dito, maraming Over profit siguro nakuha ko. Nah sana mas marami pa nagawa noon.
For now, I'm enjoying it and staying here. Thank God. =)
The question, will I go for the record of 2 years or more?
The answer... If I still write about them at the same date next year.
What I can say, some buried plans/dreams some how.
Comes to life again, and it will go through. From there will see..
A new interesting career path or?
A Stellar path?
