Hay, nakakabad trip tong Alaska, isang panalo na lang di pa magawa!!!! Ergh.. Anyway, patapos na pala ang buwan. Ang bilis naman. hehehe One month down this 2016. A new month begins!
Speaking of something new, siyempre, new paths na din by next month. It's just spending the last days. hahahaha Ah, siyempre preparations na din are coming so I just need to do it and yes, no plan B. Fingers crossed! Ah, ano pa ba bago.. Ah eto, sumasali ako sa contest na sana palarin. hehe I don't watch the show but why watch if I know it na? Kaya hinihintay na lang yun question for the day. hehe
Dapat may review ako ng Star Wars kaso sa SM North, parang naubos yun mga die hard fans. Wala na siya!!! Well, di naman ako fan ng Star Wars. Kaya I don't mind missing it. Kala ko di na ko makakasulat ngayon kasi sa dami ko ginawa kahapon at yes, sarap na nakaleave. Pero it won't last.. Bwisit. hahaha
Ah, ano pa ba.. Naku, eto na, kailangan ko na ng back up at more TB. 50 gb na lang natitira sa HDD ko. Anak ng tinapa, ganun na kalaki yun collection ko. hahahaha Diyos miyo!!!!! I never thought na lalaki pala yun collection ko ng ganito. I never thought of this library to be huge despite, pinipili ko na ha. Next month, I'll focus na din sa wordpress site ko since lahat na dapat ko gawin around me eh finished. Time to focus more on the productive things for me.
Ang hirap pala ng 4x11 pero mabuti na lang umaga. hahahaha Naalala ko talaga yun ePLDT days ko, 4x11 na from 1am-12pm, parang araw araw, katapusan mo na. hahaha Dito, hindi naman, mahirap ang Aussie pag after work hours, mahirap yun mga issue nila. Bad trip.. Anyway, mabuti naman split off. Naisip ko sana pwedeng ganito sa normal na company, compressed workweek para maraming off at yes, less hassle going to work. Kaso di naman siya applicable sa lahat ng industries unless you have a very big number of workforce right?
What else? Sana naman may tumalo sa GSW! Sobrang lakas eh. Di sila pwedeng kampante. hahahaha I'm not against them, it's just sometimes, too much winning from them makes you hate them for some time.. And yes, Cleveland won't stand a chance. Hay, bad trip!!!
Oh yes, seagate still runs smooth after a couple of months. Very smoothly... We'll see if that is the case when 6 months come. hahahaha Ah ano pa.. Siguro still Happy and Hungry! Yun lang for now.

ReView of the Year
Burden. Sacrifice. Disappointments. Luck.
4 simply words I can describe what I went through this year. Pero malaking luwag sa kalooban ko na masaya pa din ako. hehehe Next year, parang ganito na lang gagawin ko, not ReView every other month.
Anyway, kung ano ang naiwasan namin bagyo ngayon taon para di masira ang bahay.. May bagyo naman dumating sa kin ha. hahaha Akalain mo naman, nalampasan ko yun kahit papano. Eto na, ilang buwan na lang, nakakapaghanda na ko. It's time, to be alone in my career. Whatever it is, maybe curving into my own path at the same time.. Doing responsibilities as a head of the house. Naisip ko, mabuti pala single ako.
But I'll make sure that will change. Looking back this year, I really felt behind from my other colleagues or kabatch or whatever. Envy was the first feeling. Motivation became my strength to improve. Pero siyempre, di naman naging madali na gawin agad agad kung wala pa ko ibang iniisip. Pero pagtagal, parang kaya ko naman.
Maraming factors siyempre nakatulong sa kin para makaraos ngayon taon. Una eh, parang Aussie, laid back lang pre, with the family and friends. hehehe Second, learn new things and be at least good at it. Best example, laba ng mga damit at maglinis, at medyo sama pa ang luto. Simple init at luto. hehe Pangatlo, lumayo sa mga ibang tao, pero di din masaya pero nakatulong na din na para isipin ko muna ang sarili ko at yes, marami talagang utos and errands. Naku, kaya't di ako nag FB lagi or SNS. Don't worry, that will change. hahaha
Pangapat, DOTA, kahit magisa lang ako o minsan with Doc at Igz, the moment of childish joy keeps me, enjoy youth. Panglima, films! Para masabi lang na in. hahaha Hindi, of course, as a film junkie, need a dose of it, kaso nabawasan talaga this year. Naman, dahil sa panghuli.. Japan! Jdrama, japanese news, food and ehem, japanese stars, (JAV), and a few anime. One day, I'll be there. hehe I have books na for learning japanese.. I'm reading and trying to self learn. haha Good start!
Surprisingly, kinda like this year as I discovered a lot of myself and awaken my senses at least to do something important. Ah yes, one weird skill eh my visions or predictions.. Gaya nung UAAP.. hahaha Tama hula ko bago pa magstart ang tourney. Tinapa, kahit NBA or even jdramas. Weird skill, surprising and I'll enhance that. I can sense cause and effect in a far away..
Speaking of far away, sorry di ako fan ng star wars. hehehe Nung bata ako, oo pero marami na ko napanood na flicks na mas gusto ko eh. I'll try next month kung showing pa.
Oh yes, Thank Jesus for giving me such let's say blessings. Kahit na may araw na wala na ko inaasan, nandiyan ka pa din. Malamang, kailangan makabawi naman ako sayo. =) At yes, kinda missed the Feast every Sunday, so this past months pa lang ako nakabalik with yes, complete KCON na never ko nagawa last year. hahaha
Sorry for those people I failed in whatever way. I'll try to make up for it. Thanks for the friends na kahit simpleng usap or kamustahan lang eh natulungan ako. Sorry pala sa mga meet ups na di ko napuntahan, lalo na etong tsismis sa Jan 9. Malabo ako. Kayo na muna. Alam niyo na kung sino kayo. hahaha Walang tigil sa chat.. Diyos miyo.
3 words that I prepared for next year. Parang motto pero sige goals pala. hehe
Conversion. My promise to Him. Convert at last my old ways. =)
Independence. Well, on my own path and decision not only to achieve something but enjoy life..
Satisfaction. Satisfied not only reaching goals, but satisfying on how it's done. Kahit di na ko nagenjoy working but other things I enjoyed doing where outside of work, siguro it's time to do it as a career or simply do things that I like. That will help others of course. Be satisfied and grateful on what I have na din. hehe
Marami pang words pero yun na naisip ko agad. Hahaha
It's time to close the 2015, at malamang may bagong presidente na next year...
Importante, maka galaw na nga ko. =)

A year of Jdrama
Yes, after starting to watch these dramas last year, it continued until this moment. It means, this won't stop. hehe Right now, while I'm writing this, I'm watching episode 86 of Welkame which I found it, interesting, a study why this asadora was the lowest rated in the history of Asadora. More of that later. hahaha
I was not only focused in the current ones but also the old jdramas and yes, kinda addicted into. I should kinda control myself watching these things at weekdays. I should learn Japanese at the same time watching these episodes, especially I also watch the RAW ones, without substitles. If next year, I will have this a yearly thing. I don't know, despite with Kdramas and worse, the chinese dramas, Jdramas still has an impact. Great impact to me, liking Japan more despite not watching animes or I watched less Eiga this year. It became to a point and I felt, damn.. I wanna go to Japan soon! I discovered a lot from streaming sites into yes, the source of it! hahahaha
To cap this year, it was not a good year of Jdrama, especially Fuji TV's declined quality of dramas in one season. Geez. But anyway, despite of not having a good year, it was not all bad, it was still a good year to watch jdrama. Looking forward for next year! for the usual jdrama, it's 45 mins or 1 hour depending in the drama itself. Short ones where almost 24 mins and now, a shorter one, 19 mins but around 4 episodes only to finish the series.
By the awards below, I'm kinda incorrect because I did not watch all and I might judged it due to my preference. hehe
Worst Jdrama: HEAT - I was choosing between this one and Tatakau Shoten Girl! but I did finish Tatakau and it has a litte bit of sense than HEAT. HEAT has just weird plot and predictable and acting just bad despite that big cast. I felt sorry for that cast.
Best short drama: Okanashi No Ie - I almost chose Fuben no Benriya or Transit Girls, but I love the acting of Odagiri and Ono in this series. I'm thinking this can be done as a good japanese flick but despite some big flaws, the feel and the dramatic scenes worked plus a very talented small cast.
Worst short drama: Hatsumori Bemars - Honestly, I love the idea and the style of it but having untalented Nogizaka46 acting for a series, I kinda rushed watching this one and waited for the last episode. Interesting though, in that group, they have future great looking individual idols. hehehe That's the only reason I kinda stayed through. Acting was so bad, I just laughed even in the dramatic scenes. They need training!
Best very short drama: Ramen Daisuki Koizumi san - TV networks due to competition, population and yes, even audience taste, made these kind of series, 19 minutes per episode in span of 4 episodes to finish the series. I almost chose She but Hayami Akari's presence kinda mesmerized me and yes, I want to eat those Ramen shown in the jdrama. There was a time that one episode rated higher than HEAT. hahaha It shows that Fuji TV made better shows at the late times than primetime.
Most polarizing jdrama: Marumaru Tsuma - I don't know about what I felt in this drama despite great acting especially of Shibasaki Kou and Higashiyama Noriyuki, but the plot was kinda confusing until it ends. It was sad and very unfulfilling.
Disappointing jdrama: Dr. Rintaro - I almost chose Koinaka but this one, despite a great, I mean best cast in a jdrama this year, it's just, I always get asleep while watching an episode. Blame it to the very slow pace and Rintaro sensei's character, was really slow and boring. It picked up only at the last but never bothered to really finish it. I had high hopes especially with that big cast.
Classic jdrama of the year: Dragonzakura - I did watch a lot of jdramas this year especially with the old ones, and it's unfair if I put Amachan for this one because of the number of episodes. hehe But this one stands out, with the great cast, heartwarming story and fun/crazy episodes. My choices where SPEC 2, Sailor girl with a Machine Girl, Wakanomotachi, Border, Shinya Shokudo, River's Edge, and others.. haha
Worst actress: Watanabe Mayu - Hmmmm hard to choose, I almost chose Maeda Atsuko or Honda Tsubasa, but this one stand out due to looks she had in Tatakau Shoten Girl and frozen acting. hehe I did like her in that series which she was old but working as an idol but for this one, she can't bring one series by her alone yet.
Worst actor: AKIRA - well, blame the character, his acting and the plot of HEAT. That's it. hehehe
Surprising jdrama: AKAGI - Darn, I did not imagine a mahjong game that was suspenseful, intriguing and deadly. Thanks to the minimized cast, setting, and plot! Great performances were also present.
Best actor: Sato Takeru - I can't believe he's not only good looking and only stuck with his Kenshin character but was able to deliver in Tenno no Ryoriban. He was able to demonstrate he can act well into his character and matured. I hope he'll continue this in the future or in films! I chose him over Kimura Takuya and Abe Hiroshi.
Missed jdrama: Panic in! Darn, as I discovered Makita Sports is a good actor/comedian, he has his own jdrama! Great plot and fun one, I tried to search this but I failed.. Damn!!!
Best Actress: Shibasaki Kou - This one was hard to choose despite she did not win any this year in Jdrama awards. Her performance was great and not bad as a first time to lead a jdrama. Even her character and story, very confusing and unpredictable. I chose over Anne in Date as she had fun doing the character but I felt she could have done more, and Kimura Fumino due to numerous dramas she has this year. My favorite of her was Ishi no Mayu. Oh yes, I forgot Oshima Yuko (AKB48) in Yamegoku! She can act and fight! hehe Ah, I almost forgot Nakatani Miki.
great jdramas this year:
5. Shitamachi Rocket
4. Ghostwriter
3. AKAGI
2. I'm Home
1. Tenno no Ryoriban
Best jdrama: Tenno no Ryoriban - even the last episodes were kinda fast, the build up and the dramatic scenes were great. I love the scenes when Sato's character training very hard to become a chef and perservered until the end. He's kinda sweet and loving to his wife until her death and award from the emperor which he offered to her. All the other characters also contributed especially Suzuki Ryohei's character and of course, Kuroki Haru. Ah yes, I'm Home! I like the plot and the suspense of the main character until it unfolds in the end..
Weirdest drama: Mako Senpai - Hands down, the weirdest drama I've watched this year. There were a lot, even Hatsumori Bemars was weird or AKAGI, but this one.. The poster says at all. hahaha Jdrama about horse racing?
Whew, I'm thinking next year not only be interesting but the list I've written today, might be longer as well. hahaha I'll definitely watch more new and old..
Ganbare!

Kingsman: The Secret Service
Unfortunately, it was not. He chose this film than doing X-Men.
After watching this film, I know why now. I hope Bond was this bloody, I mean literally bloody great! What's more interesting is what I found out later.
It's a great action film, great thing to start this year with this one and of course, looking forward for more of this stuff. I mean, this film should be, definitely has a sequel.
Although it has some mishaps. Only 2 things disturb me. Weird first scene, I did not quite get, how the dude died. I mean, it's explodes but it's still there and all of them lives. It was weird and sort of did not get it. I'll watch it again when the home release comes.
Another one, well, sorry to spoil but indeed, Colin Firth's character shouldn't be dead. I know it maybe part of the story but he started it all and he is Kingsman. Indeed.
That's all! The rest is damn great! I'll give credit to Matthew Vaughn that always deliver the good in his action packed films. This one is no exception and some others say it's his best film. For me, I can say yeah! He kinda trampled all other spy films in the action sense. He showed great action scenes, and really deadly villian and, great cast as well. Despite the film was long, I really did not feel a second that is boring or a scene dragging. That's how great it is. Especially that church scene, I mean at first I did not understand because its a surprise but I don't care! It's a blast!!! That is damn action scene!
Great cast! At last Mark Strong is a protagonist, I mean more than half of his films are always at the villain side. Great scary mentor and support for the film. Michael Caine is always Michael Caine. Samuel Jackson is just the right type of crazy main villain. Roxy, I forgot that actress name playing her is interesting. Taron Egerton is a promising star, and this dude will get a lot of roles in the future. Of course, the ultimate Kingsman: Colin Firth. Wow, total transformation by him, I mean you always watch him in drama films, but this one, well mannered killing spy machine. Geez, I hope he'll do a lot this kind of action films. Sofia Boutella is the name of the actress of the blade runner. Geez, can you believe an ichi the killer as a woman? That sold me! Especially the first kill of hers. That was insane!
Anyway, the most suprising part is the writing. I mean, when I searched this comic at the net, they changed a lot of characters and even the spy organization. Give credit to Matthew and Jane for that making it work. I don't know how they will make it work in the future films but with that skill, they'll make it work.
What a way to start this year with a great action packed film. Great thing they pushed this from October to February because I don't want to watch a film about a man who has a fetish in S&M.
I mean japanese and european films already done that. Unless if the director of that film is well, I know who can do it in a more good way.
Forget it, I did not like that, but for this one...
I like that line, Manners maketh Man.
Who will win by the way, Ichi or Gazelle? hehe

End of the Year
October - Well, ok lahat! Work, ok ang stats, pasado.. Bahay ayos na eh, kaso dumating na si Gerro. hehe Yun nga lang stress naman. Wala naman masyado pagbabago, kung baga nadelay. Eh biglang dami gagawin.. Hay.. Pero ok lang naman, kahit kaunti stress or busy. Unlike some months this year na sobrang pagod na, forgettable na. hehe Or wala masyado ginagawa, sayang lang. hehe Balance naman sa buwan na to. Of course, NBA na!
November- PBA na siyempre. Lintek na Gaynebra este Ginebra. hahaha Mas stress itong buwan na to, bagsak na sa stats, aba Gerro kinda di manage maayos in the first weeks. His birthday the most memorable! hahahaha Hay, sobrang alat, malas lahat na this month. Pero blessed naman ako kasi sa KCON and some things, na nagpapasalamat pa din ako na nairaos ang buwan na to. Maraming kalimutan na lang at marami pwedeng ikasaya. Pero grabe tong buwan to.
December - Christmas season indeed, first weeks were kinda very busy at di ako maugaga sa mga gagawin ko. Kaliwa't kanan ang kailangan iasikaso at siyempre aral pa ng SAP. Well, mabuti ngayon at tapos na although di talaga tapos like yun kay Gerro pero di na lagi kailangan tignan. Sacrifice tong buwan na to, from leave na unpaid at time siyempre. Pero humupa naman paglipas ng araw. Although kailangan marefresh ulit sa pagaaral at least yun na lang ifocus ko para sa upcoming days, weeks or months siguro. 9-1 na Ginebra.. hehe Katakot yun IND, MIA, POR at OKC na wala na naman Russ. Anyway, sana yun mga team na trip ko, makalusot pa! More sacrifices to come at the start of 2014 pero it's for the better of me and others perhaps. hehe
2013 for me, personally was a better year! First of all, ayun napakabilis ng panahon, at isang taon na ko sa Stellar at marami din ako nagawa. At higit sa lahat yun mga gusto ko nangyari! hehe Thank God for the blessings, family for the support and love despite conflicts or whatever. hehe Friends na maasahan at nakaintindi.. LOJ for strengthen such faith this year, year of the faith nga. Jesus of course, for the mercy and love not only sa kin pero sa lahat nakapaligid sa kin. Siyempre di lahat ng factors sa life ko eh mas ok this year, pero important mas marami pa din ang mga bagay na dapat grateful ako. Kahit simpleng health ng family ko, kahit ako yun maysakit this year, eh I'm glad wala naman major na sakit nangyari.
I'm feel so relieved despite yun mga problema at struggles ko this year eh medyo naiibsan at paganda ng paganda o medyo madali ang buhay as time goes on. Naranasan din na I thought I won't feel any love this year, of course mayroon lagi but this year, I saw someone special. hahaha But despite such rejection or let's say set aside muna, important is.. I felt it, she knows it. Sayang lang talaga. hehe
Damn I'm getting old.. Pero I feel just fine. I just feel looking forward next year. 2014 might be, or let's claim that it will be a defining move for me. For the better. Such changes might be uncomfortable for me, but..
I have no choice, it's not only for me but for the many. Always for the good of the many.
It is true, when you get older, you get wiser and more confident that whatever struggles we face, as long we hold that hope, love, faith and we have Him in our midst, success is inevitable.
Thy stand or fall..
We conquer all.
Tama na nga yan.. Makamove on na.
Byers 2013! =)

Well, mabuti ngayon at tapos na although di talaga tapos like yun kay Gerro pero di na lagi kailangan tignan. Sacrifice tong buwan na to, from leave na unpaid at time siyempre. Pero humupa naman paglipas ng araw. Although kailangan marefresh ulit sa pagaaral at least yun na lang ifocus ko para sa upcoming days, weeks or months siguro. 9-1 na Ginebra.. hehe Katakot yun IND, MIA, POR at OKC na wala na naman Russ. Anyway, sana yun mga team na trip ko, makalusot pa! More sacrifices to come at the start of 2014 pero it's for the better of me and others perhaps. hehe
2013 for me, personally was a better year! First of all, ayun napakabilis ng panahon, at isang taon na ko sa Stellar at marami din ako nagawa. At higit sa lahat yun mga gusto ko nangyari! hehe Thank God for the blessings, family for the support and love despite conflicts or whatever. hehe Friends na maasahan at nakaintindi.. LOJ for strengthen such faith this year, year of the faith nga. Jesus of course, for the mercy and love not only sa kin pero sa lahat nakapaligid sa kin. Siyempre di lahat ng factors sa life ko eh mas ok this year, pero important mas marami pa din ang mga bagay na dapat grateful ako. Kahit simpleng health ng family ko, kahit ako yun maysakit this year, eh I'm glad wala naman major na sakit nangyari.
I'm feel so relieved despite yun mga problema at struggles ko this year eh medyo naiibsan at paganda ng paganda o medyo madali ang buhay as time goes on. Naranasan din na I thought I won't feel any love this year, of course mayroon lagi but this year, I saw someone special. hahaha But despite such rejection or let's say set aside muna, important is.. I felt it, she knows it. Sayang lang talaga. hehe
Damn I'm getting old.. Pero I feel just fine. I just feel looking forward next year. 2014 might be, or let's claim that it will be a defining move for me. For the better. Such changes might be uncomfortable for me, but..
I have no choice, it's not only for me but for the many. Always for the good of the many.
It is true, when you get older, you get wiser and more confident that whatever struggles we face, as long we hold that hope, love, faith and we have Him in our midst, success is inevitable.
Thy stand or fall..
We conquer all.
Tama na nga yan.. Makamove on na.
Byers 2013! =)

A Stellar Year!
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?
Still...

A year of simplicity
Bilis ng panahon, isang taon na agad.
After that very painful end sa RAM last year.. Well, it was not easy for me. Yes, it was a lot of conrfusion, kahit nadepress eh mabuti tapos na.
For those who are looking for me, lalo na sa 24/7 eh eto na. hehe Or other friends as well who are wondering what happened to me after that sad end. Anyway, mabuti ok naman yun operation ni Dad sa kidney at ngayon he's doing well except going for regular check up. Naku! Ergghh.. hehe But he's ok.
Yun maliit ko shop and business for cellphones kahit load eh wala na, I gave it up since February last year. The reason behind that is simply pag balik ko ng calls or any job na parang malayo sa RAM eh parang di ko na kaya. I can't believe that I was able to sustain being sa salesman, manager, tapos FS/RAM agent for almost one and a half year. Every single damn day. I can't rely my income dun lang sa shop, especially medyo nadrain not only physically pero emotionally din. But well, until now, nandun pa siya thanks to Kuya.
But I won't regret that I have that venture for 3 years, meaning I can hold a business pala despite yun mga kaunting misses and inconsistency sa strategy.
It took me almost 4 months to find a new job, at sa Teletech pa. Telstra pa account! haha Residential billing was my queue, handling all types of inquiries. Almost all, siguro except tech and online questions. Pero as much ok yun sked but damn, napakalayo at dangerous. Lalo na sa taft around 3am. Geez... Why it took me 4 months of looking for work? Well, I tried to stay away sa industry again but I ran out of luck. Although nadiscover ko naman yun ibang places like the fort and mckinley, pero alat talaga. hehe
I only stayed 5 months sa Teletech, the shortest in any job I took sa BPO. Wow, very pathetic. hehe They tried magwinback pero nah, wag na. Besides, sa balita ko ngayon, gulo na dun. At kahit dumami ang LOB nila, forget it. But thankful at ok naman yun pay pero not worth it especially ganun kalayo at ang sked. Kakapagod. I miss yun team dun, buenas pala ako kasi yun TL humawak sa kin, sobrang bait kaysa yun ibang TL dun na napakasungit at walang kwenta! hehe
After that boozed out session with that team, ayun I resigned then after somewhat 3 weeks, I found a job sa Stellar in my favorite place to work. Eastwood. hehe
Ayun, I work sa Simply Energy as CSR in backoffice for their billing queue. I can't believe na backoffice na ko and kahit well, way below ang sweldo, ok naman, enjoy and not very toxic. Although mas mahirap siya sa RAM ng kaunti but may support naman, kahit wala yun magaling namin TL. hahahaha
Between those times, of course, I got the rest I need, simply not doing anything, or just around the house. Kung may gimik sama naman ako, minsan hindi pa din kasi budget. hahaha And yes, more closer to Him, family and friends. Masakit siyempre yun nawala yun job na gusto mo pero ganun talaga sa industry na to, you're lucky if you have the same job for 3 years. Geez, that job security for you.
But I have no hard feeling of it.. I've move on, then now may mga plano na ko na matutuloy na basta talagang will ang papasok sa kin then I'll see if it's good. Thanks for that whole year, I've become focused sa kin, what I really like, what I can do, and what I am aspiring for in the future. Small or big plans, I know now.. I know it will be another long journey, but it's better to start than procastinate.
Better late than never nga sabi nila. I can't believe I am now approaching 3 decades. I asked myself, did I really achieve something in my life. Of course, masasabi ko na wala. Pero sana for the coming years, kahit small change lang, that will motivate me to work harder, to do better and serve, especially for Him. Yes, I've now becoming closer to God and I feel refreshed about it. =)
Jesus, oh boy, I pray that you're always my guide. =)
Now, I'm enjoying the things I have, alam na kung ano ano yun. hehe Pero I'm getting closer to change my computer muna.. So I can start studying again that SAP module. Tapos yeah, excercise, reading, doing chores, working hard sa SE.. Meeting interesting people which it's happening, I can't even do that before. hahaha Ah, yeah, not pressuring myself too much unlike before.
But my friends, oh God, pressuring me to have a girlfriend/fiance/married thing. Geez.. I know single na ko for what, 6 years na..
Tama! hahaha Pero darating din naman ako diyan.
I can't believe na kahit marami ako pera those times, narealize ko lang na sobrang pagod ako or yeah worse, getting unhealthy not only outside but also in relationships. Kahit anong diskarte ko to manage everything, it's not working. Passion is gone and just don't care of anything else, just earn.
Now, even I'm rich as a rat, I enjoy the simple joys of not getting up so early to think ahead sa shop, work and others. I enjoy waking up, doing what I need, then work then here.. Write, watch flicks, play if I can sa computer. hahaha Going out with family, friends..
To pray, and yes.. Read more. I felt healthy. Like they saw me..
One step to living a life of fullness and happiness, perhaps..
As simple as that!
