Dapat nung May ko ginawa ito, pero nakalimutan ko na. hahaha Seven years! Akalain mo, parang magasawa na nga. All I can say are two things. It's time to promote this thing, and another, I need to improve! Yun ang gagawin ko na going for the eighth year!
Darn, I admit, I tried many times na unlearn, forget my blog, o kahit di magtype for this blog.. Pero ganun talaga, iba talaga pag passion! hehe Looking back, I never thought of developing this skill or even making it a hobby pero eto na eh.. Nandito na ko at mukhang tuloy tuloy na. I'm now fixing my wordpress site, at mukhang kukuha pa ko ng professional advice to make it, hmmm presentable or para maging traffic lang.
I've added some new topics para tumagal ang blog. hehe Also, waiting for more feedback! Anything else, I'm not sure yet. Pero thankful pa din ako sa skill na to, because of it, stress reliever. Sometimes, it's a thinking machine, kasi may mga ideas na pumapasok na lang. It's also like a mirror, that it reminds who I am. Yes, despite I'm looking at the mirror, but parang mas may weight ang salita. Yun lang.
I hope before the last quarter starts, eh makikita niyo na yun site, unless if I kinda invested to it. hehe Pero pag ok na, you'll see.. I'm also adding another feature there pero di naman agad agad, may pagaaralan lang ako. hehe
I know this will be fun but also very difficult, so I pray Lord that it will look good. What else, hmmmmm wala pa muna. Basta, importante masimulan na to!
Number eight is lucky, right? =)

part four
Concentrix - From one small centre, it became three branches already, I'm not that sure about that one site in PBCOM tower. I mean, they just bought IBM Daksh, the IBM's contact centre division what not. One of the big centers here at this site because well IBM's building are big and many. I'm not sure if IBM's main office are now here. Due to their recruitment ads, they have financial accounts and the most famous, Dish Network! One of the most toxic, hardest accounts ever. Even I'm now working at a decade in BPO, I only known 2 toxic accounts, Dish and JP. Dish is not situated at this site, it's in a different site..
Teletech - Yes, that's how big this call center company is, they have a center here! What I know, they have BOA, Bank of America. I'm not sure if they absorbed the LOB's of the dissolved inhouse BOA jobs. Whatever... What can I say bout Teletech? Just don't go there.
LexisNexis - I have no slightest idea about this company.. However, when I went over this place to try their recruitment process, it's an inhouse law research company! They have no branches and about their process.. The first step, they have this test, time pressure!! Second process, initial interview.. I did not pass. hehe They have high standards and they are more into night shift. More into US accounts. If I got it there, I feel I'll use my legal knowledge I learned in college. They look fine, but I'm not sure...
Convergys - Yes, the largest employer in the Philippines, has a site here. No idea about what account they have but when I went in this place one time, it looks like they handle US accounts. Well, maybe they have a simple recruitment process so give it a try.
For now, I'll stop here, but the next one will be a lot! The remaining tenants of this site!
I haven't watched a documentary for some time due to difficult changes and events happened to me. However, I doesn't mean I'll forget to watch one, what more watching of movies. I'm trying to make up for it and now, I accidentally watched this interesting documentary.
Hafu is a word in japanese meaning the half/mixed raced individual living in Japan. The documentary has a simple premise, just recording the lives of these Hafu's living in Japan. They tell their stories, effects of being a hafu and their plead of staying in Japan as normal. The only opportunity I could say about this film, I hoped they interviewed a Japinoy! I suggested that notion because not only many Filipinos living in Japan but also very many Japinoys living there! I mean Fil-Japanese people already living there in the same way other Hafu's are living. Difficult yet happy.. Especially, statistics shows that I think it's in the top 5 list that Philippine with Japanese blood are included besides well, american and brazilian. I hope they include just one Japinoy profile.
Anyway, what really surprised me in this film were the profiles they showed were striking foreigners but when they speak, it's like perfect japanese! I can't remove in my mind that these people are well, given the constitution right are Japanese. One great example, well that African dude. Sorry, I forgot their names! Forgive me. hehe
The African guy who really like well, you thought a typical african male, speaks fluent and acts like Japanese! Wow.. He also admit that despite living in Japan for decades, he needs to explain himself everytime a person look up or asking to him. Then the other profiles came in, the Australian lady, then the Venezuelan guy who has little resemblance of being south american. A family of mixed heritage and having difficulties of raising a kid from public school, transferring to private school. Another one, that I thought she is Japanese, but well, she's Korean. A lot of different races and great stories to listen and watch.
I love in this movie that parts of them explaining the great difficulty of living in Japan because of their race. Of course, if you don't really look like Japanese, their Gaijin mantra will impose to that person, which is kinda bad. I was sad in that part of the kid's story of being bullied in elementary school because he can't speak Japanese well.. Not only that, he can't even make friends in that school. So, well the kid transferred to an international school and flourished.
They were parts of their own story that made me sad, especially their confusion stages. As they were growing older, they thought of going back in their respective countries but because of preferences and love for Japan, it holds that idea of going back. They want to stay in Japan despite very not favorable treatment. This happens to the African guy despite already a japanese citizen, he's still well, having a hard time. How about that Venezuelan dude who should be already a citizen but still he needs to update his visa. Darn, the dude already married in Japan! Japan immigration laws are quite, or lets say very strict.
I understand the Australian lady who really had a hard time living in Japan because it's the first time she went there and trying to fit in with the relatives of her Japanese side. However, since she lived more in Australia than in Japan, I felt for her that she's confused and might live in Australia for now than living in Japan.
For the Korean lady, she's kinda lucky to be a Japanese citizen because of the secret of her mother. However, it some what gave her a backlash of the situation. Meaning her own identity was questioned and she felt not accepted for some years. But look at her now, she really fit in Japan.
Lastly, I loved how most of these people making an effort to help others with the same situation. They have a community helping other people who has the same dilemma and giving them great support. The African guy has a big dream that I can't believe he's doing it even he did not live long at his home country, putting up schools.. Simply yet very courageous.
After watching this film, well, that Gaijin mantra of the japanese people, althought it's still evident, I felt it's slowly decreasing. That discrimination or prejudice is still present, no doubt as I read in the news or blogs but it's slowly going away. I hope their government are doing concrete actions to ease their immigration laws, not their tourist/business visas. It should be immigrations laws! Another thing, I can sense they are accepting Hafu in their society, look at their entertainment industy, I was surprised that there are idols, actress, models who are Japinoys. They look hot. hahaha Kidding but yeah, how about Rola? Geez, I was suprised she's Hafu. Or the most intriguing of all, their Miss Japan, despite opposition, looks like Rihanna. But when she speaks, I know why they are sending her in Miss Universe pageant, she's really Japanese.
Well, with easing their immigration thing, it will also solve not really a one great solution, but definitely it will help their prevailing problem... Population. For the 14th straight year, they are decreasing or the birth rate is not enough to compensate the decreasing population. I know there are a lot of factors why this happen, but one concrete solution they can do, is to ease their immigration. Not really open immigration, still strict but they should ease some provisions. Also, please they should ease the citizenship of these people who have outright proof they are Japanese and still can't be a citizen.
Anyway, if I'm one of them, hypothetically, I'll stay in Japan. Never going back. hahaha Kidding! I'll go back of course in my home country.
But definitely, I'll stay in Japan.
What will I look like if I'm mixed with Japanese blood?
Wow, Friday na. hehe Just watching the NBA draft at parang nakakagulat yun Okafor na napunta pa sa Philly? Kidding me right? hehe Anyway...
Next week will be a different week for me. Maybe it's time for the start of change.. Changes pala.. Actually I recently had a start na. It's kinda weird pero well, let's see. Panalo na Alaska mamaya. hahaha Hay, grabe, sayang ang CLE pero mabuti naka 2 panalo pa. Sobrang partida. Paano kung kumpleto line up nila? Patay na GSW? hehe Pero di ko naman hate ang GSW, I like them kaso kung nasan si Lebron, doon ako!
Hmmmm if everything went well starting Monday, ah I might sound weird in my next post. Baka thinking din, kasi I'm studying something. So, yun lang. Self study. Darn, it will be a self study months for me. Grabe, I need a lot of guides for these lessons.
Ah, indeed, rainy season na. Kahit di na ko magdilig ng halaman namin sa umaga, eh ok lang. Paano, umuulan ng sandali lagi sa umaga. Pero sana wag naman malakas yun mga ulan. Grabe, sa sobrang adik sa jdorama, aba.. Halos lahat ng shows this season, talagang monitor ko. Well, may mga panget, may iba, ayos! It's better than last season. Sure yun!
What else.. Ah, tagal naman ng bagong film, terminator ang tagal! Naisip ko parang di sulit siya. Hehe I'm thinking well, mas maganda kung panoorin ko siya ng libre. Paano kaya?
Hay, mukhang nakakalimutan ko na manood sa movie library ko because of jdorama. Pero mukhang mangyayari na, due to some, normal routine. Parang pwede na.
Damn, I already old. Like, thinking na a decade na ko natratrabaho, going here and there.. Got in a relationship once, a complicated one. Found a fun and very unique skill which I did not know before.. Having this and that at marami pa, so parang time to be steady na lang. Make things right this time and besides, time to give my best. Parang feeling ko di lagi best pero ok lang. Now, ok seems not good, so I'll see what I can do in my remaining years. Sounds gloomy or it's like last days na ba for me?
Not really, it's just when you get old, maybe time not only to get serious or goal getter person..
Its just you need to live life to the full. Despite very very little, limited or even difficult position.
Actually, di ko alam kung paano gagawin pero..
Sabi nga ni Nike.. "Just Do It."
Hmmmm siyempre di naman lahat napapanood ko eh maganda. There were some, let's say just watchable. hahaha Story was simple, Tokyo Metro Police was kinda hurt about a comment that their office has no female top official and they need a good PR for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.
They created a new team, NS department, pagkakatanda ko New Service ata ibig sabihin nun, headed by a veteran detective Izumi and assembled her team leading by An (their somewhat called muse pero ok na detective din) with others. So, ayun na, solving crimes kahit natatapakan nila ang first division and there, in the end capturing the real criminal.
9 episodes of somewhat fun and action episodes. Wala naman sobrang galing dito except siguro yun last episode saka yun episode na about sa fast food employee na napatay. Yun lang natripan ko and others just ok or not good enough. Pero it's not all bad because the cast made their presence felt kahit yun chief na nagbuo ng team, ok yun role niya even his episode. Two characters stand out, one was Munesuke (played by Namase Katsuhisa, damn great supporting actor, mapa principal sa gokusen hanggang ngayon sa Doctor's affairs, galing! Veteran actor great!) at siyempre, may one of the new, ehem crushes An (played by Mizukawa Asami). I think first time niya magplay ng detective in a jdorama. I don't know. hehe Kahit di naman sobrang stand out yun acting niya, eh ok naman siya as lead and maganda talaga siya. Yun lang. hahaha Nag back track kasi ako ng mga series na naglead siya, at nakataon isa to at marami pang iba.
Well, sana naimprove nila yun mga cases dito, kung sana simple cases pero dapat matindi yun mga criminal pero parang hindi naman. Lalo na yun episode na manga writer na gusto lumipat ng city, weird story and bad ending. Geez. Kung fun story pala, sana medyo todo comedy na lang, not half comedy/fun then less action. One example na todo comedy, Kid's police! Bad trip, first episode pa lang nakita ko at nahanap, nakakatawa na! Kahit well, deadly yun mga criminal.
Sana ganun na lang ang route pero well, they did not do it. Tama lang na 6.8% ang rating niya, not suprising, pero nakakagulat eh after episode 9, aba tapos na! hehe Abrupt ending. Siguro low ratings and tight budget, tinigil na agad.
Anyway, still I'm gushed over Asami! Dating niya parang Red Scarlet, I don't know, just a beauty to watch. Ah bakit pala tokyo scarlet, hmmm nasa first episode. Nothing important kung bakit ganun ang title.
Not good. Almost a waste of time. Pero if fan ni Asami, not bad. =)
(a great singer)
Of all the professions na naisip ko pwede matrain, this one eh mukhang babagsak ako. hehe After hearing a lot of singers or watching them in my lifetime, I wonder, paano kaya kung ganun ako? Kahit mahilig ako sa music but the truth is, I'm the worst singer. Kaya pag may karaoke party whatever, I sing the safe songs. hahaha I'm thinking ako ay tone deaf or maybe my choice of music are kinda let's say not popular.
Siguro kaya naman ako di natrain like that was I'm shy in my childhood days or kahit ngayon, parang lahat ok lang wag lang kumanta! Pero naisip ko, ano kaya style ko pag natrain ako kumanta. I can say I have more into bass voice, so parang pang opera or classic sounds ata ako malalagay. Parang di naman ako pwede pang pop. hehe I don't even think I'll be famous like those in TV or concerts or even as an artist. Lalo naman dito na kahit magaling ka singer, unless you have a hit song, sikat ka.
If I'm one a great singer, kahit di sikat, siguro doing professional acts is fine, like backup sa concerts or singing into events basta parang ganun lang ok na. Or paano sa mga bars around the metro, I mean di naman masaya singing at those joints. Then also, sali sali na lang sa mga singing contest like everybody those. Hope and pray you will win. hehe
Important in singing, kung ako tatanungin is really how you mesmerize the crowd. Whether the song is pop or rock eh lahat nakikinig sayo at siyempre natutuwa. I can say may mga singer na talagang masasabi mo singer, or artist talaga. Distinctive voice and prescence kung baka sa stage. Unlike yun ibang singer ang ginawa lang eh kumanta at magpatawa or kumanta na catchy song, they are called singer na. Great. hehe I won't name those ones pero you'll see them. I don't like them anyway.
Actually, this is beyond my wildest dreams. To sing in front to a lot of people. Natrauma na ko, lalo na yun kumanta ako kina Rheg, nahulog talaga ako sa upuan. Bwisit. hahaha Siguro pag band, malamang papayag ako kakanta, kasi may kasama ako mapapahiya. hahaha
I kinda love that song "Easy". =)
Ah no, not another sickness or stuff.. It's just the sudden change of heart. One simple night, I was not feeling well. I feel quite dizzy and tired even I haven't start my shift. I took the rest and slept.. It started for a day or two then it became weeks, and that's it.. The end.
I end up well, out of work. I suddenly left.. That time I didn't know the reason why the hell I left! But as weeks passed, then a month went by... I thought I was just dead tired. Not the work, but simply the shift I'm working to.. I can't go on working at night. How stupid I am believing I can do it, or able to cope up the shift but as months passed.. I felt I'm fooling myself and of course, I am forgetting the other important chores that I need to do. Geez, I can't imagine I forgot my responsibilities not only at home but also to myself. I always catching up sleep or rest and ending up well, going to work again on a Monday night. It means, the rest days are not enough for such days off.
I know it sounds crazy but yes, I was crazy that I left. I know I sounded happy in my previous post about this new job of mine but there were signals shown to me. I felt tired for most of the time. Although I'm enjoying the work but it seems as more work coming in, I became more sleepy at work. I almost got fired by sleeping at work, well.. I'm sleeping besides my operations manager to make things work but I promised I won't do it again. I was able to do it but I'm not eating lunch.
Yes, at least 4 times a week, my lunch time was sleeping time. That was the only time I can catch up sleep which I can't do in the morning or afternoon. I did say the truth that one of the causes of not getting enough sleep was working doing besides at my room. The chinese temple building! Every single day, it was really erring and unpleasant to me, then you add the hot summer time, how in the world I can sleep! Well, it took months before I can cope up but it was too late. I just made a decision to sleep at my lunch hour.
That month, I was working diligently but pressure mounting left and right. Left was my work, and the right was at my home. Workload increased although not the pressure, it just I need to adjust but the one at home really gave me the hardest pressure. I should make some sacrifices to satisfy such forces but in the end, I can't satisfy them both. As for me, I just want to get out for a while and think again. I thought doing that at work but I may end up sleeping again for the whole time. I'm demotivated and tired so well, how about just stay at home.. Running to my head at that point and I must say, I sudden made that change. Why not stop working and get out and think or start again. But first, I want to breathe a morning fresh air.
However, before I can do that, I did have sleepless nights as my body still accustomed working at night.. Trembling in fear about what will happen to my status and at the same time, what I need to do next! All of those thoughts running in my head starting that week. The following week that I decided..
That Sudden Move.
