QC
part five
What a big place.. Anyway, let's wrap this up!
IBM - This company was big some years ago but now, they have 2 offices in 2 sites left. I mean they used to have offices in Makati but now, their offices are in one city, QC! Oh sorry, they have one in nuvali but want to go there? hehe IBM has a very long history in computing but now they ended up being one of the known BPO offices. Well, I don't know how they pay but they have good benifits and most of all, once a month payday.. If you can live with that, then go!
HSBC - Another former strong BPO/Call center company. A direct subsidiary of HSBC in the UK.. It has a glorious past. However due to their wrong decisions like the household bank purchase, the housing market collapse and recently, anti money laundering penalty of billions of dollars, a record fine.. Hurt a lot to this let's say a good bank. Although they still have offices, but the only site working is this QC site. Well, I don't know if they still hire newbies or others but I still refer this company as they are better than before except for the workload.
UHG - It stands for United Health Group! One of the larget health insurance in the world and of course, USA. Their first site is at Mckinley in Taguig and all of the sudden, they have a site here at QC! They pay great like JP Morgan. But definitely, in exchange of that pay, high stress! I heard it's not the workload that giving the stress but denying claims for the clients. Just watch the documentary Sicko of Michael Moore and you'll see why. If you can survive such pain and stress, why not try it here? Fun fact, 6 months is not enough for their training! hehe
Well, other offices located here are as follows, Nokia Networks, Seachange, and a pharma company that I forgot the name. So, there is a lot to choose from and if you are living in commonwealth or QC area, definitely try this place! Great thing about this place, it's not as crowded like the other sites. It has a balance of low rise buildings and lush gardening. Simple yet it's growing there..
As for me, if this place was built up years ago, I wouldn't need to go far looking for work.
I can work near at home!
You might be wondering why I've been silent all the time... Mahirap talaga pag nagloloko ang computer! Erghhh... Pero salamat sa Diyos, nakaisip ako ng temporary solution at ayos na for now. hehe
Geez... Kahit nawala ako, eh may mga naghahanap pa pala sa akin. hahaha Well, for now, what I can say eh ok naman ako. Nakakatamad nga lang magsulat. hehe Kasi ngayon lang ako ulit nakapasulat. I kinda tired of restoring and reinstall everything in my computer. May scare pa sa video card na kala ko sira na pero whew.. Thank God, kaunting linis lang pala ang kailangan.
I can say my life is kinda like that.. Try to do system image, I mean back track everything, it will work, pero pag long term. Nope! I did reinstall everything! Kahit yun mga applications na ginagamit ko dati! Aba, ayun, same effect, lalo nagloko ang computer ko!
After around 5 times ako nagreformat and install from scratch, great thing.. Nahanap ko na yun maayos na set up. For now.. hehe kasi pagtagal parang di din magwork pero may naisip na ko paraan diyan.
I know, you might be surprised I'm silent but it's just this crap happens and now... I'm here, living and fighting. Moving on into some changes.. Una sa lahat, yes, sa computer ko.. May mga nadiscover ako na mas maayos na apps at eto na! Umaayos takbo ng computer ko. No choice but to get an original copy in the future. Soon! Pair the original copy with the applications I have now.. I feel I won't have the crazy things happening in my computer again.
Sorry for those late replies and whatever, busy lang ako sa pagaayos ng computer and yes, my crazy sked din. Pero matatapos na din yun kasi maganda sked ko bukas!!!! Yatta! 3 months of kinda normal sked. hehe Kaso may pasok sa xmas and holidays.. Nung nalaman ko yun, sabi ko, last na to!!!!
About me, nothing really changed. Maybe separating from other people or any communication kinda helped me to look at myself more and yes, watched more jdramas. hahaha I should really reduce the time spent watching nippon and surfing.
Sorry sa pagdireply ko sa inyo. I don't know what to answer at these days.. Yeah. Old age really creeping in. Anyway, about what I felt at those days.. Separate post!
Another thing.. Grabe talaga si Aldub, grabe makahatak!!!! Sorry di ko sinusundan yun, at lalo naman si Pastillas Girl. Yuck!!! hahaha Alam ko marami pang chismax ang di ko pa nadiscuss pero babawi ako pagtagal. hahaha
Sa ngayon, hay...
Let my silence ends!
(Binay ang Presidente natin!)
Ah sorry sa mga sumusuporta sa kanya. hehe Kung ganito mangyayari, aba.. Umalis na tayo sa bansa na to! Ngayon na! Wag nyo siya papanaluhin! hahaha
For the record, di siya binoto ko nung tumakbo siya.. Si Mar Roxas ang binoto ko for VP na kala ko kasi sure na. Kaso anak ng tinapa, biglang nanalo ang pesteng ito. Una, wala naman ako paki sa kanya, nasabi ko kasi may dating siya pang mahirap talaga at masasabi mo naman malapit siya.
Pero nung nagsimula siya magdeclare na tatakbo siyang presidente. Dun na nagsimula lumabas ang tunay niya kulay na mas maitim pa pala! Simula pa pala siya sa pagiging Mayor ng Makati tapos lumalabas pa ang mga style niya! Nag aral ng masters of Money Laundering. hehe Biggest proof? Ano pa ba? Yun building pinatayo niya, eh kaunti na lang pala idagdag mo, parang new Zuelig building na! Matindi talaga!!!
At isa pa yun kinagalit ko eh asal nung mga anak eh. Pumasok lang sa Village, umasta na, wala na daw security check.. Kawawang mga guard na umawat sa kanila, sibak! Eh pano pa pag naging first family pa to?
Tapos ngayon, kapal ng mukha maglaunch ng kanyang tunay na SONA daw. At isama pa ang mga anak niyang kurakot na nasa isip. Kakahiya!
Pagnanalo Presidente si Binay, lalo hihirap tayo kasi malamang uunahin niya mga bata niya. Gagawa ng executive order na yun BGC na imbes hati na lang sila ng Taguig, mukhang ibibigay pa sa Makati! Matindi! Tapos mapapawalang sala na yun anak niya. Lalo pa kakapal ng mukha ang kanyang Senador na anak. Sabihin na natin, sige napalago niya yun Makati, pero sa huli..
Maraming mga business centers or companies na lumilipat from Makati to other places.. Bakit kamo? Ano ano sinisingil ng city hall sa kanila... From high taxes at maraming fees at lalo na yun required health cert daw for every employee.. Grabe, san napupunta yun pera ng Makati. Sabi pa, medyo bankrupt level na ang Makati?! San napunta yun malaking pera nakolekta nila?
Eh marami pa din mahirap sa Makati, worse, pinapaalis pa.. Paano pa sa buong bansa, kung anong gagawin niya sa mahirap? Ang mga makikinabang pag nanalo siya, siyempre mga kapartido muna, barkada, bago ang bayan! hehe Isa pa, ni ayaw humarap sa Senate hearing, yun anak niya ang ginagawang paing. Abogado naman, ayaw pa humarap kasi moro moro lang daw. Hay naku, madaming palusot.. Nung hinamon ng debate, naduwag naman sa last minute!
Yan ba ang magiging presidente natin? Grabe, wala naman siya ginawa nung VP siya (parang lagi naman ata ganun), ginawa lang niya, sumiple ng kampanya na hanggang ngayon! Ano ba naman, ginagamit yun kaban natin pangkampanya niya!
Pero grabe pa din ang dating niya, sa mga survey ngayon, number 2 na lang siya sa survey pero di kalayo kay Grace. Wala eh pagnakikita at nagpapakita sa lahat ng media at maayos na buildup kahit harapan na ang garapalan, iboboto pa din siya ng tao. Nakakalungkot isipin di ba? At lagi di tayo natututo pag may tumatakbo. Mabuti na lang may ibang tatakbo na handang magsakripisyo para di lang siya manalo! hahaha
Ang gusto ko lang sa kanya? Hmmmmmm isa lang natutunan ko sa kanya..
Yun presensiya niya, may akit o kung baga, influencial nga siya.. Lalo pag nagsalita na siya.. Susunod ang mga tao sa kanya, kahit di fluent sa message.
Please, marami pwede tumakbo pang next year.. Siyempre secret yun trip ko iboto.. hahaha Iboto na yun iba, wag lang si Binay!
Pero para sa ikakaligtas ng ating bansa, wag iboto ang Binay!
Walang ginhawa sa buhay pag si Binay!!
Pangalawang talata
Noon..
Naabutan pa namin ang electric fan na classroom na sobrang init, lalo pasok pa namin 3pm pa! Grabe, kailangan may dala kang pamaypay kahit lalaki ka. hahaha Pero naabutan naman namin yun air-con!
Ngayon..
Grabe, lahat ata ng classroom of all colleges eh Air-con na! Mabuti naman, at mukhang naimprove na din ang mga rooms. Dapat lang pati sa commerce! Ewan ko lang kung nagimprove ang curriculum. hehe
Noon..
Akalain mo aabot pa yun style ng Ate ko ng ID nila. Remember that white ID tapos nakalagay anong college? hehe Tapos lalagyan na lang ng sticker pag ka enroll mo! Well, nagbago naman nung around 3rd year na, gold na yun ID at ayun na, electronic na. Swipe kung baga. Nagamit ko naman yun discount sa pagpaopera ko noon. hehe
Ngayon..
Nagulat ako na nagpalit na naman ng style yun ID, gold plus the sticker! Geez, they could just remove the sticker and have it centralized the ID system. I don't know kung bakit di nila nagagawa yun! Di ko lang sure, kung lumaki ang discount para sa students pag naospital. hehe
Noon..
Well, after that split of CAFA na naging arkhi at CFAD na.. Kami din sa commerce eh dapat magbabago din kaso di namin naabutan. Other colleges seems to be the same, nothing changed pagdating sa name.. Or whatever. Basta sa college of commerce, di pa din kami faculty status noon.. Crap!
Ngayon..
Akalain mo naghiwalay na all mighty accountancy from Commerce then etong commerce parang may specialty na for every aspect in the corporate world. From finance, HR at marketing at entrep! Well, sad to say, di namin naabutan at mas mabuti ata nangyari sa graduates nila ha! Hmmmmmm...
Noon..
Wendy's na nasa dapitan, BK katabi niya, tapos PC quest at may navarra na bilyaran, ball room tapos maraming computer shop sa buong dapitan.. Sama mo pa ang mga sulit na kainan at tambayan! Isama mo pa ang coop canteen na nasa gitna o malapit sa commerce building at tinoko park.
Ngayon..
Wendy's na lang ang natira sa dapitan na kilala ko.. Yun ibang binanggit ko, wala na! Bakit?! Anak ng !!!!
Sa huling kabanata!
Ah di siya title ng isang JAV series. hehe Or even ehem porn. It is the real title, pero mahaba siya kaso mas sikat siya calling that title. Nadiscover ko lang siya noong nakita ko yun news last year, while I am recovering sa operation. Parang 3rd season darating sa fall in Japan. Weird title yet nung nakita ko yun bida, sabi ko, mapanood nga! hehe
Dahil season 3, malamang nakaload na yun first and second season. Nagaayos ako ng pay ko one friday night at naisip ko, habang hinihintay ko yun email to confirm kung ok ang pay ko, aba, pinanood ko na ito.. Nahook na ko from the first episode until, 5am! tinapos ko bigla yun dalawang season na straight! hehe Grabe, I love this series.. Galing naman ni Doctor X! I can say parang black jack siya na babae, pero focus lang sa surgery. Habang pinapanood ko ito, nakalimutan ko na galing pala ako sa opera.
There were some flaws siyempre or something na sana naimprove nila. First, well Michiko sensei doesn't look like a poor doctor. You'll know pag pinanood nyo siya, kasi she charge high fees pambayad utang niya dati dahil sa erpat niya. Long story, pero I recommend, just watch it. Grabe naman kasi ang mga suot niya, not only somewhat revealing or very sexy but also, high end! She doesn't look like a doctor desperate to pay debts. hehe Sana simple na lang yun dating niya. Pero with Yonekura Ryoko, parang yun ata requirement niya if she does a series.. You can look at her previous TV series. She always dress great.
Another flaw was the ending at season 3! Ok na sana yun build up and kahit may cliche, sige na ok lang pero yun ending talaga, grabe very weird and it did not help me. Pero yun ang highest rated episode in Japan for 2014! Just weird. hehe I won't spoil it pero it's just annoying. For me, yun lang ang flaws niya. I know marami pa, pero forgivable na.
First, I love the pace of each episode, kahit predictable pero di naman mapapansin in every episode. Lalo na how the operation is going on, or yun bangayan ng mga doctor, kakatuwa lang. Labanan ng pride at grabe, when it comes to surgery, Michiko doesn't not only want to lose but also, doesn't want to fail! Yun pace niya fast and very intense. Well, lalo naman yun first season na 8 episodes lang pala.
Second, the surgery cases napresent dun, kahit di naman ako med professional or a doctor, naisip ko, parang complicated cases lagi yun kaso ng patient. Parang no hope, na biglang ayun gagaling sa huli kasi mad surgeon si Michiko. hehe I'm not sure kung totoo na pwede yun mga style or remedy na ginawa ni Michiko, let my doctor friends to decide pag napanood nila. Example na weird case, yun episode na may witness na kailangan isurgery, pero kailangan gising siya para makita yun tumor. Another yun bata, kala nagsisingunaling kasi lagi may masakit pero walang makita sa mga scans pero meron pala naiwan na object! At yun pinakafavorite at naresearch ko, one case of ex vivo resection. Totoo pala yun, tanggal lahat ng organ to remove yun mga tumor tapos balik sa tao sa operation. Grabe ang galing noon! Well, lahat ng season ayos yun mga cases pero mas mahihirap sa season 2 at lalo na yun season 3.
Third factor, the cast! Yonekura Ryoko for her career role, despite TV actress na siya for a long time, primetime pero wala yun tatak na role. Eto na yun, very aggrivated yet very hot surgeon! hahaha Hot actress as well, I mean, top to bottom, di lang payat, talagang, I'm speechless. hahaha Doesn't show in her ehem, quite old age... Galing ng cast na binuo dito. Kahit low budget yun season 1, aba, galing pa din yun nabuo nila cast such as Tanaka Kei and the old doctors, Ito Shiro for example. Tapos, dahil ayos ang season 1, eh more budget for season 2! Grabe yun cast, from Fujiki Naohito, Endo Kenichi, at may Nishida Toshiyuki pa! Season 3, well matindi.. Hanggang guest may mga star din, kaya bigger budget. Pero siyempre, fave characters ko si Kishibe Ittoku, yun manager ni Michiko. Yun anesthesiologist best friend niya si Uchida Yuki, I mean Jonouchi Hiromi yun name ng doctor. Isama mo pa yun dalawang bwiset na doctor na laging kontra sa kanya. Hmmmm best season sa kin yun season 2 kasi not only yun cases involve, pero yun cast perfect dun sa season na yun. Galing nung story at yun actors involved, fit na fit! Siyempre, may favorite episode, episode 4 season 2! Si Mamasan! hahahaha Hayop yun, di ko mahanap yun pangalan niya pero wala makakalampas sa kin. hehe Nahanap din. Simply hot! Tapos season 3 yun sunod na maganda kasi ang hirap ng cases saka si Michiko sensei kaawaya niya lahat lagi. haha Tapos yun least favorite, season one.
Last! Superfly! Unang kanta pa lang niya sa season one, hinanap ko na agad kung sino kumanta eh.. Iba yun boses, pang rock talaga.. Maganda pa yun singer. hehe Kidding, but yeah, bagay yun end rock song sa attitude ni Michiko sensei. Yun lang...
Of course, marami na din ako nasilip na jdrama about doctors or medical practice, pero eto yun paulit ulit ko panoorin. Iba kasi yun dating ni Ryoko.. Kahit arrogante eh basta patient is first, magaling siyang doktor! Ewan ko lang kung may ganun in real life... Yun adik sa surgery. hehe Nakakatuwa sa kanya, tuwing may surgery scene, lumalaki yun mata niya! Scary surgeon pero she never fails. hehe
Besides, dahil sa series na to, dito na nagstart ang aking trail to other jdramas.
"I never fail.."
Simple powerful line for a surgeon who is always face against all odds.
Ah I really miss this kind of documentaries.. What's more from Alex Gibney! Anyway, this so called Scientology, I'm quite curious about it. Well, I'm curious why Tom Cruise and John Travolta still have faith in this religion. Why there are some reports of abuses or threats coming from their side of things.. A lot of questions that need more answers.
Anyway, the film called The Master, which I really did not like not because of the plot itself.. The actors performances were outstanding, but the film especially going through the end, it's like what the hell happened. That feeling, will rise and it will go through out while watching this film.. If you think it's complex, you will be surprised after watching this film. The film was inspired from this religion.
The only flaws I can see after watching this film, first was the response from the Church of Scientology itself or how about their famous members.. It's not Alex's team fault, maybe the church has reasons. Simply as that. Second was I hope, they shown at least other members or let's say offices around the world. Again it might be not Alex's fault, because this church has only 50,000 as of the ending credits.. I don't think somebody in our country is a member of this religion. Anyway, those are the only flaws. But they did not really affect the film.
I love the pace of the documentary, despite it's simple, it was very informative and detailed. From LRH rise, fall and became the head of this church, then his successor continue their doctrines, it's all explaiined in a most simplest manner. Despite, the weirdest sessions or audits that they call, their philosophies, rules and most of all, wow.. That after being clear and going up in their ladder, you'll discover more bizarre ideas or theories! I just can't believe it!!!
Another thing, I love the blow by blow account of the former members. Thanks to the very great editing, there were elements of surprise and euphoria of fun when they describe their experiences. Very notable sharer, Paul Haggis. Wow, I was like, really shocked that he was a member of this Church.
The mixture of emotions shown in this film. I mean whether in my side or their side, there were genuine mixed emotions showing. Well balanced emotions shown such as what happiness they felt when they entered Church and experienced how powerful when they stayed. The difficult and harrowing experiences they felt, especially when they discovered how they were manipulated and abused. I felt sad especially at the part of their sharing, the time they felt ashamed or even depressed when they were uncover the truth behind of the operations or even the teachings of this Church.
Lastly, I was shocked at the part where Tom Cruise's part of this church was really immense. I mean I won't spoil about his story, it's just I hope Tom will open his eyes and heart about this religion or I mean, it's shouldn't be religion.. Geez. Anyway, I love Tom as an actor but he just needs to wake up. However, if I'm him, I don't need to work anymore, especially how he is treated here? Damn.. hehe
I was planning to just watch the first 15-30 mins of the film but I ended up, again finishing it straight! That's the magic of Alex Gibney's docs, you can't pause or stop for a moment because he always give one important info in every scene. I was so satisfied after watching this doc. I definitely recommend it and yeah, all I can say, just keep the faith you have!
By the way, give kudos to L Ron Hubbard, he just made a great theory not only how to avoid taxes or get rich but also how to..
Manipulate.
Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Di na makasabay sa mga uso ngayon..
Huli na sa mga musika pinatututog!
Nagugulat na lang na ganito na pala ang ginagawa..
Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Kaliwa't kanan ang mga nagpapakasal at nagkakapamilya,
samantala ako eh talagang buhay binata pa..
Mga nakakagulat na pagbabago sa mga taong di mo inakala.
Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Parang kailan lang, kaedad ko lang ang katrabaho ko..
Ngayon, may kuya na tawag sa kin, at malayo na agwat ng edad ko.
Talagang masasabi ko na tumanda na ko.
Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Dati lang iniisip ko ang kapakanan ko, at hinaharap..
Pero dahil sa mga pagkakataon na di ko akalain, nagiba na lahat.
Iniisip ko na di lang sarili ko, kung hindi ang mga aalagaan ko pa.
Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Dati nagaalala ako kung anong araw na.
Sa ngayon, gusto ko lang matapos ang bawat araw na maayos at masaya.
Natanto ko na importante ang buhay na ibinigay niya.
Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Pag may dekadang pinaguusapan na di nila alam, ako taga kwento..
Pag may mga pangyayari sadyang nilimot na, ako taga pagpaalala..
Sadyang maraming na ko pinagdaanan, kahit gusto ko limutin, biglang aalahanin!
Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Kung dati'y di lintana ang hirap na darating,
pero dahil sa pagtagal ng panahon..
Mas mabuti pagisipan mabuti ang mga desisyon na tatahakin.
Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Sa daming tama at mali nangyari sa kin, dati'y ako'y palaging nangangamba..
Samantala ngayon, sa mga darating na pagsubok o problema..
Dapat maging matatag ang aking pananampalataya sa Kanya.
Gaano na ba ako katanda?
Sa dami ko nasabing mga talata,
pakiramdam ko di naman ako matanda na.
Tumatanda pa lang.
Papunta pa lang ako!
Gaano na ba ko katanda?
Isang dekada ay parang kahapon lang..
Lahat ng hirap o sarap, sadyang..
Lumipas lang sabay sa aking pagtanda.
