2 days away or more, sana tapos na nesting and go into production floor na. 

Well, this month was quite pull some surprises but in the end, the only difficult thing to do is to follow yun steps and freaking midshift 5pm-2am due to lack of seats. Pest. hehe

Once I make it, eh alam na gagawin.. I have now prepared a plan for the next 6 months if I got unlucky, a year if I got lucky, 2 years if I really going into it. Then, I hope and I pray na lahat naman naplano eh masundo at dun natin makikita if I will be satisfied. Not only financial, important is career path and health wise. This month was not really pressure packed.

Enjoyed watching movies in a day, tapos fixing some things, keep myself busy at planning na din. Salamat sa punishing fire, I can now see my collection without any glitches. At nakakadiscover pa ko ng mga nadownload ko na palpak! hahaha

Sana lang maayos yun sked ko, kahit may Sat shift. Ok lang Sun off, makakapunta pa din ako ng The Feast and grow. Naks. hehe

Now I'm looking forward after this nesting, even mababa for what I expect eh di naman stressful, like taking calls at malayo pa. Sana lang maayos to. Looking forward to watch more until maaubos ko yun collection ko. hehe Great thing naisip ko yun film fest every week para di ako maguluhan when I choose kung ano papanoorin ko.

I feel right now na and envisioned that how unlucky I am this year, next year will be different and quite fun. I don't know how I became motivated and feel worry free despite what's happened to me or the people around this year. It's sad but God gives life, through his blessings. 

Thanks to him, I feel cared, loved. Through Jesus.. 

For now, yeah, next week will be a special one, I wish all the success for Raims and yes, taon na naman ng St. James, and invade the sosi bazaar. 

A year seems to be like days, that's how fast this time is. Geez.

Remember remember the fifth of November...

Clueless eh...

Honestly, I don't know what to write in this one.. hehe I don't want to spoil naman what happened last weekend. Katamad naman magreview ng movie.

I want to watch a movie pero baka malate naman ako sa work. hehe 

Yun mga ibang naisip ko isulat pang next month pa. Now I'm testing this kingsoft office in my punishing fire, at mukhang maasahan ata. hehe Kahit walang notepad eh pwede naman isave as word file. Pwede na.. hehe Looking forward later eh, after nesting first time na walang headset! Yahoo!!! No more pest customers! hehe

Mukhang I'll use this job to achieve my future short term plans. =) Kagabi, grabe I watched two straight films, mabuti di parehong panget yun dalawa! haha Feeling ko by Wednesday eh tapos na ang film fest ko. I need to buy more blank dvds for alam niyo na, epektos! =) Naisip ko na din to go for an external HDD, kaso wala pang funds.. Pero nakakapagipon na din, isabay na lang with a desktop computer. 

This week, I'll try to make it slow and relax. It was a hectic 2 weeks from work then ito na agad, medyo gagamitin yun analytical skills ko, parang triple move sa RAM ang bawat tasks. Geez. hehe Relax kasi tapos na ang training, I passed na tapos, here KCON is done. No more rushing at least for this time.. I can say I have more days to rest this coming week. Sana lang makuha na namin yun real small pay. hehe

What else? Hmmmmmm I don't have any wishes this xmas season. For myself, nakuha ko naman yun gusto, the intagibles.. =) Siguro wish ko na lang, better life for my family, friends and all of us! Naks. hehe 

Sana naman next year, I reach some drastic improvements in my life. First thing to improve, health! Other things will follow. Yeah! 

Quite a surprise, this is short, very short...

Clueless eh..

classics: Being John Malkovich

Have you thought of being in someone's body in 5 minutes and see, feel of that person? 

Me? Nah, because I am contented in what I am or so, but if it's for fun... Why not?

This film well, it caught my attention from the title itself. I mean, you can be Being Tom Cruise, or Being Julia Roberts or Being whatever celebrity they can think of, but they ended up with John Malkovich. I want to know as well at that time, does John Malkovich really show in this film? 

Story goes that Craig a puppeteer, well trying to make ends meet buy doing puppeteering in the streets but ran out of luck. He decided to work with a legal company to sort files thanks to his fast hands. As he doing the job one day, he accidentally discovered a secret room and he went in. He was surprised that it's a portal going to the body of John Malkovich, one of the great character actors in film, then seeing what he's doing or even thinking. He informed this discovery first to one of Craig's acquaintances Maxine, a seductive office worker near at Craig's office. They thought of making this discovery a money making business. After some occassions, Craig said this to Lotte, his wife, and became addicted in going to the portal. One of her visits to the portal, she became in love with Maxine then Maxine also felt the same way with Lotte. As much I want to say the plot, after this, all bizarre, confusion broke lose between Craig, Maxine, Lotte and yes, don't forget John Malkovich.

The only flaw, but it's a minor flaw that easily can look over with is the relationship between Lotte and Maxine. A casual moviegoer may get confused or turned off with that relationship in the movie but for me, it was well written and really helped how the movie going until the end. Of course, in the end they really end up together, suprisingly with a child. 

First I commend the actors who played in this film. Starting with Cameron Diaz, that I hope if she wants a growth in her career, she needs to do a lot of this kind of indie films. I haven't seen a film that she done this kind of roles recently so I hope she can do more. In this film, you can sense that she has a knack for weird or deep roles so I hope she does more. John Cusack, damn... He's previous roles were good but I don't know why in his recent films were kinda lost already. He's great in this film, not only because of his weird puppeteer role but also his feeling towards on what's happening around him. I just hope he can back on track on doing this films. He really took a back seat in his recent films. 

Catherine Keener, wow.. I discovered her in 40 year old virgin as that hot mom dating Steve Carell's character.. Here, damn hot. =) She's one of the 2 main culprits or reasons that made this film memorable to me. I mean, she got an Oscar nomination for this role of seductive, vulnerable and lovely lady who doesn't care what others say. I love the scenes where she was able to seduce John and she was thinking that Lotte is in John's being, so that is quite hard to act. Damn, at the end she got what she wanted. At that film, she doesn't look 40.

John Malkovich! Of course, why if you love him as an actor these times, then you gotta love him in this flick. He's well, 80% percent of the time he's real John Malkovich, then the remaining 20% was how he reacted in the flow in the story. You can say he's quite submissive in this film because 90% of the time, he doesn't know the portal inside of his body. I love his first scenes where he is a casual guy, very calm and thankful what he is. This is the best film for him. Sad to say, yeah, he did not win any award for his role. Geez. 

Give kudos to the supporting cast, the old boss, even some interesting cameos as well, it's a gem that those supporting characters done their parts in an effective way. 

Direction by Spike Jonze should have a credit here, despite the bizarre, crazy idea of the film, he was able to pull it off because of his demand maybe to make the film simple to digest. Even with a lot of things happening, he did not like go into deeper for each character of situation in the film. I loved how he arrange the sequence of the events, well give that credit to editing too, that the viewer is not lost after one thing to another. For instance, how Craig dominated John Malkovich for sometime then shifted until the end.  

Writer Charlie Kaufman made this film a great one. Well, I just watched Adapation, althought it's also a great one, but this one is better. It is also way better than Confessions of a Dangerous mind, he even dissed it because George Clooney made changes of the script. But yeah, this one I don't think any other film tried to really copy or at least imitate what he did in this film. I love the script he done for this film, deep yet simplified. You can hear in his films, he loves poetry and he always put that poetry fit for a film. The only difference of this film to Eternal Sunshine is why Eternal Sunshine is the best film written by him, that film focuses to love, unlike this one, there is love but it shows more of the consequences of being somebody else. But anything else, I can't take away anything what he done for this film, but it's more how he was able to pull off a beautiful bizarre idea into something interesting to watch. 

It's worth for keeps in this film, I wondered if I have that discovery, I wish I could be someone like me with better attributes. 

I'm not into dreaming of somebody else famous. Geez, I don't really like that. =)

Ring! Ring!

(terms and definitions)

part 2

I thought one part is enough but it's not. Let's continue! It might go for another post.. 

Headset - it's the thing that is capable of listening to your customer through the ear speakers or what it is and it has a mic to let you speak to the customer. Usually the centres uses platronics or other brands for these headsets. Just be reminded, be careful with them! Be sure to return them or use them in the right way because if not, you'll pay for it. It's pretty expensive. Ah yes, it maybe 2 ear headset and yes, some call centers have 1 ear headset. That one is not easy to use, I better tell you now. Beware of those. 

Phoneset/Hardphone/Avaya - it's the phone handset itself. It's the phone that lets you get the calls, control the volume of the calls and yes, helps you to set the aux (after call and other auxes), and auto-in. It has a timer in handy to check how long you are in the call and it assists to transfer calls to other departments. It can also helps you to make conference calls if needed. Avaya is the number one hardphone used in call centers. Most call centers prefer Avaya, some cisco which I haven't use one and worse but prone friendly, Aspect. I think only one call center uses Aspect, it's quite old you see. It's like a big calculator in a form of a cash register. Ah for these days, they disabled the mute button for the hardphones. Well, for QA reasons perhaps. I can say it's stupid. =)

Softphone - some call centers doesn't have hardphones for cost strategies. Softphones are programs that enables user to use the headset without the physical hardphone. You can transfer, take calls, make calls, conference calls and others, it's like using with a hardphone. It has limitations like no mute button for it. But many call centers are going into this type of managing calls, why not? It's cheaper and space efficient. But for agents, like me, it's crap. 

Auto - in/log-in - these words are the dreaded words that a CSR or any call center agent doesn't want to hear. Even this is the reason why a call center pays us big..  It's like your sacrificing yourself to the wolves. Press that in the hardphone or softphone and you'll take calls. Prepare for the worst and least of the best of your customers. You're lucky if you are idle, avail. But nah, that happens rarely. Poor us.

Avail - it's a span of time that you're doing nothing because no call coming through to you. Agents love to hear this and it's the first word they pray after they auto - in. Hoping for some idle time and relax which of course, not always happen. 

Queuing - second word that a CSR or agent doesn't want to hear. Meaning a lot of callers/customers waiting in queue, waiting to answer their calls, complaints, requests or simply their inquiry. If you see this or hear this from your TL, you need to manage your calls because the centers wants you to eradicate the queue. The reason is well, if we are to answer more customers, centers getting paid for it not for dropped calls. Anyway possible. Yes, anyway possible. For me, I'm fine with the queuing because, I can take some time for a customer's call then have some delays until I reach my breaks or lunch. But yeah, this is draining, adding pressure and stressful. This is one of the factors why our job is not really simple. Consistently serving customers all of them, in the fastest time. 

Breaks - this includes 15 minutes break and lunch. Usually in a 8 hour shift, you have 2 15 minute break and 1 full hour of lunch which is not paid. Be sure to take your breaks not only because of adherence or TL says so. You need to breathe and think of rest. Please..

Adherence - an act of following your schedule of the day, from taking calls in a span of time, following your breaks and lunch and even logging out. 

Log out - another word or happening that a CSR or agent prays. It's the end of the shift, or nearing the end of the shift or even your lunch or break. You're lucky if you're in a long call and approaching your log out time? Good job, you don't have to worry getting overtime. But if you're in avail and have 5 minutes left before logging out, sorry to say.. You need to take one more call and pray it's not a long call. Well, as passage of time, I always do the first one, prolonging the call until I log out. =)

Calls - I almost forgot, yes, there are different types of calls. Inbound which is you are the CSR/Agent, you take a call from a customer/client. Outbound is you call a customer/client for something. Either way, an agent can be good at it. I admit, I'm good at inbound call taking because most of my experiences are in this type. Calls can be also short or long ones. It's self explanatory. 

ACD/ACW/Aftercall - this is a somewhat aux that allows a CSR/agent to finish his notes or what to do in an account. Be sure that if you're in this state, finish your tasks at hand fast and don't be lazy to forget this. If you are in this state for too long, your stats will be affected and get some spankin from your beloved TL. This one really helps if you're nearing break or log out coz it has an allowance of 3-5 minutes. So, after a long call or short call and I have 3-5 minutes before my break or log out, press this one. You're Saved from the wolves! =)

HOLD - this is the part of your call that you put the customer in a musical session or silence spree while you're are doing something to finish the customer's inquiry. Or sometimes, talk first to your team mate about gossip. Even your TL, asking for approval of credit or dispute or have some chit chat first. Or worse, use this to breathe after talking to a naive customer or an irate one. I use this also to prolong my call until I reach my breaks. =) As long you are sure that when you go back to the customer, the call will be finished. There are four steps and rules in putting the customer in hold. Ask permission to the customer, explain why you will put the customer on hold, put the customer on hold then come back and say thanks. Don't forget set expectations how long the hold is. Threshold for hold is 2-3 minutes but it may take longer especially for complicated cases or calls. 

chaka - a gay lingo word usually used, even in the floor about a call which is very bad or worst. It's a form of expression especially for those customers that are quite bad. Or even stupid ones or naive as well. It's like a wasted time talking to them and made your day bad. 


I guess, there is part 3. hahahaha

Skyfall

Is 4 years worth the wait? It is..

After Quantum of Solace which was not a good Bond movie, I kinda lower my expectations with this film even with a star studded cast and a wonderful director. Those details was announced just last year after filming returned, due to financial hiccups. 

After 2 and a half hours of watching even my Dad fall asleep some parts of the movie, I was amazed how it ran. 

I missed the first 5 minutes of the flick because of the long line outside in the ticketing booth but anyhow.. All I can say, this Bond film is at my top 5 great bond films. Of course my number choice is The Spy who loved me, then next is Goldfinger, and the next 2 are Skyfall and Casino Royale, lastly, maybe Goldeneye, or A view to a kill, but I've not decided yet for that 5th spot.

Story is simple, James Bond is tasked to locate the man who has the HDD from MI6, while catching the dude, he was shot and end up dead as M proclaimed. After sometime, Bond refaces back to MI6, but the terrorist already killing MI6 agents because of the HDD and time is running out to catch the madman. Then, the chase is on to locate the madman and it happens that he knows the past of M. With the help of his associate who shot him, Q and a government offical who try to save MI6 so they can catch this terrorist, James Bond needs to give all to save M and MI6 from destruction even with the blown up headquarters. 

Other parts till the end, you need to watch it!

The parts that I can say well did not help the movie. The dialogue is not bad, or so british, it's just well, the nature of Sam Mendes films are really dialogue driven, so this film almost reached the boundary of a lot of talking and the action scenes. That is the reason Dad fell asleep for sometime due to the long dialogue scenes, except for the scenes that it has Berenice Marlohe. =) Other thing that quite bother the film, the use of CG in that Komodo Dragon or that weird looking croc. It's not polished as it may seem but it looks like they rushed making that animal. I don't know if it's real but definitely they did something on that animal to look like big. Besides, it's hard to locate one of those in reality, how about in a film? I hope they used other animals than that thing. Another one, but just a feedback about Silva's lair, hmmmm I hope they have other places than that. I thought they flew to eastern europe for it. But that's fine for the place, it's pretty logical especially with that flow of the story. Ah yes, I hope it had more blood for those action scenes, but it's not really needed as it is beautiflly directed. 

First what I love of this film, the action and chasing scenes are long and detailed. It's an experience that takes your breath away, like the first chase, my Dad kinda frown that those new beetles were just thrown away. =) But the pace of it, just magnificent until of course Bond got shot. Then the chase going to the committee hearing, that M almost got shot and run away with Bond. I love the last action sequence it's like Die Hard style with a bit of nostalgia, because of the Aston car there. The action scenes made this film not really bourne like but a James Bond flick like Casino Royale. James is vulnerable but calm, clever and quite cold blooded killer. 

Second, I love this flick because of the dialogue and screenplay entails to it. It's been a long time to see a James Bond who has a great story development, with its rise and fall storyline with a great climax at the end. The dialogue, which is not very british, the actors used plain english and great thing no one used like Scottish or Welsh, maybe for Albert Finney's character which is understandable. But the depth of the dialogue of all characters made this film so immense and unlikely for a James Bond film worked. I hope that the screenwriters will go back for the future James Bond flicks. The feeling of each character through it's story really show well and precise to what the story goes. Some surprises also helped the story kept going until the end. 

I should really give credit to Sam Mendes because this film is really beyond his usual film. Mostly well, drama flicks. This one, he put some effort more to action than the drama parts because he believed in his cast. That's a great decision for his part so he can focus more in what the movie should show, than the drama scenes. He had faith to this cast and it delivered effortlessly. Although like I said there were parts that quite almost made me fell asleep, the pacing is just right and gives it all at the end. Give credit to the cinematography and context of the locations as well, how he used those locations to blend with the film. Thanks to him, we have a great Bond film for the ages. 

Lastly, as the director have faith to his cast, give big credit to the actors. Now, Daniel Craig's best performance as James is here. It is, so this one should help him get good roles in the future. His portrayal of James Bond is coming of age, developing into something in his own, and a good looking Bond. Great looking Bond. Judi Dench also for all the James Bond flicks she made, she gave it all for this one. It's sad that this is the last one, you'll see why, but I really commend her for doing consistenly a lady M, her strong will personality shows here and her passion of serving to MI6 shines here. Another one, Javier Bardem, simply one of the baddest villain James faced in the series. Silva's character is kinda psychotic yet calm madman. That blond hair fits him and simply amazing portrayal from him, I love the scene where he is in the glass cell. Quite scary dude, and how he attacked Skyfall and M. 

The supporting characters here are fantastic, from Naomie Harris which we will see her a lot later due to her quirky role. Ah, Ralph Fiennes as a great actor always be, I'm definitely looking forward to see him in the future James Bond flicks, he's quite a copy of those old James Bond bosses. Q is an interesting character to look at it, young, smart and pale looking, very deceiving with those glasses. Albert Finney? Quite suprising character, I am thinking at the end, where is Albert Finney in Skyfall, and realized after a second look, yeah, very clever role for him. Great part for him. Lastly, Berenice Marlohe, well, spoiled milk. What I hate in Daniel Craig's Bond series is all the great looking ladies were killed. Eva Green's character stood the longest screening time but ended up killed. =( Gemma Arterton which I love because I saw her in Quantum of Solace's role, way better looking than Olga, innocently killed. Damn.. Then here, Berenice as I hope she will be saved or lived all throughout like the other Bond girls, was killed abruptly.. Damn, I hope in the next Bond flicks, the better looking lady will live until the end. Please! =) But her role served right for the film, not bad for a first timer actress.

Anyway, for the SkyFall, one of the clever titles for a Bond flick. Interesting to look at James Bond roots and that place is kinda far. Great title for a great film. 

The last 2 flicks for Daniel Craig for James Bond will be quite a big pressure because of this great one. But for me, as long the cast is good, not complicated and dumb plot like Quantum and serious acting, I won't put big expectations for the next 2 flicks. As long they deliver, James Bond will live forever. 

James Bond will return.. 

A Secret Affair

As much I want to write a review for SkyFall but well.. Lets waste sometime to a film that its such a waste of time. hehe 

The only thing I love in this film, yeah, bonding time with Dad. hehe Eh gusto daw niya makapanood ng sine, edi eto na. Yung the mistress pwede ko na pagbigyan due to acting.. Kung baga, hmmm kahit di naman sulit, di naman sayang ang time. Sige magreview naman ako ng film na pinoy, na medyo di masyado maganda. 

But for this one? Oh please.. 

If there is a refund policy in cinemas, eto, hihingi ako! hehe 

Anyway, ok as the story is simple. Rafa (Anne Curtis) got suprised na maeengage siya with Anton (Derek Ramsey) after 2 months in a relationship. Anton is well, kala mo is the ideal dude eh yun lang, may Sam (Andi Eigenmann) on the side. Side bet. hehe Well, Rafa due to the overwhelming response daw sa ginawa ng fiance eh nagbackout ng wedding. She went away, then siyempre nasaktan naman si pareng Anton, kaya ayun, veteran move si Sam at naging well that's the secret affair. 

Rafa got back and decided to give the relationship another chance with Anton. But may pagkaobsessed si Sam, wanting Anton to leave Rafa for her. Anton doesn't want to, then after some revelations at kaunting spy by Rafa eh nalaman na din ang affair ni Anton kay Sam. 

Then yeah, the bickering, fighting, slapping, cursing, tapunan ng shampoo at yun pangtanggal ng kati, I forgot ano pangalan ng lotion na yun.. hehe Realizing, blaming, basagan, balikan tapos sa huli.. There, wala din napala ang couple, Anton and Rafa gave up. Then Sam, realized she shouldn't "love" daw si Anton because bawal nga.. Ayun, they drove away into bliss. Nice cars by the way.

We went home ni Dad. hehe 

Ah geez, all those things I said were enough proof that the story was bad. By the way, give credit to the special participation of Nina, na after singing eh one liner lang. Tapos Tim Yap, well, talagang party master ha, at yeah, chismoso, good cameo este participation pala. hehe Ah how about Jaycee Parker! Mas ok pa yun ginawa niya sa Asiong kahit sandali lang siya, kaysa dito. Anak ng tinapa, yun famous line Jacklyn Jose dun pala.. I really laughed at that scene. hehe

Its really what can I say, a great marketing movie to sell.. Wow.. Ah there were a lot of holes, or even yes, acting flaws. Ika nga ni Dad, pangsosyal yun movie. Paano ba naman, parang walang mahirap sa buhay nila, sobrang yaman ng lahat ng characters. At yun nga, english halos ang dialogue, isama mo pa si Andi Jose este Andi Eigenmann. hehe Well, I hope she improves her english skills, sayang.. Face, angles and yeah, I like her than Anne in terms of physical prowess. hehe Pero sad to say, eto yun tipong kailangan may dala kang scotch tape pagkasama mo siya. Magtagalog na lang siya at mas mabuti pa sa kanya. I like her character though, but its just shallow.

Well, siyempre don't forget Anne na yeah, kahit mas gusto ko yun figure niya dati na medyo mataba, kaso sa pilates and yoga, sobra naman payat. Pero maganda pa din siya. No doubt about that. Ah yeah, kung nagenglish siya, sana Aussie slang na di ba. Parang nawala na ata yun accent niya. Her acting well, I don't know. It's more of a confused one, confused na character niya, lalo na si Anne. Derek well, like Anne, brit accent na lang sana din, maybe he lost that na din. Sayang yun character niya, but it's not fit for him. Geez, ah.. Give credit to them for being looked nice on screen. Yun lang siguro. Ah so I forgot, I read over some reports na hirap si Andi with this movie. I don't think so, she didn't even show some skin, so I don't know yun kinaiyak niya dito. hehe

Ok, other than giving them credit in some parts, I hope they fixed the..

Casting, since nandiyan naman si Jacklyn Jose, aba sana sila na lang ni Andi ang mag ina tapos yun role ni Andi yun kay Anne, I think medyo ok yun film nun. Anne yeah is the bad girl, kaso ayaw niya ata kahit ganun ata role niya sa No Other Women which I don't have plans to watch it. Derek, hmmmm well, since R13, no choice, more acting and timing sa sad scenes, for the love scenes, hanggang dun lang. hehe Sana naman di sa construction site ang well.. hehe Mayaman naman sila, di kaya sa hotel or well condo. 

The film, if they really want na maganda, aba eh todo na ang murahan or sampalan and yes, love scenes. Viva is known before na alam na! R18. hehe Childhood days.. Kung si Quark or Erik Matti to, malamang maraming action mangyayari sa tatlong to! hehe At yes, dapat aarte naman sila kahit sexy ang flick. But since well you cannot do that sa pampered and protected stars ng film, the rating and with that love triangle concept, they don't care for art or anything will change the view of a simple movie goer. Mabuti pa yun mga veteran supporting cast ng film, dun pa ko natuwa eh. Sinusulit ang screen time. hehe Indie na lang talaga ang hope when it comes to great pinoy flicks. Hay.. 

I'll give credit sa cinematography because of the good close up shots. Except for the slow motion scenes which I don't think needed. 

I can't imagine this flick earned enough that Anne, Derek, and Andi can buy their own cooper, mercedes, and better than mazda 6. Ganun talaga ang tao, madala sa star studded cast, hysterical scenes and don't forget, the lines that I can't forget because I laughed. hehe 

Damn, after makita ko yun trailer nung nandito si Igz, I cannot believe I'll watch this.. 

Sa sobrang bad trip ko ata, di ko akalain mahaba sinulat ko dito. It wasted my time. hahahaha

I thought Dad want also to watch suddenly it's magic ba yun.. Ah may taste si Dad, ayaw niya ng ganun. hehe 

Mabuti naman.

Tiktik kaya? 

Ah pinoy film of the year? Bias ako eh, Ang Nawawala. =)

Almost Gone: Post Office

Pumupunta lang ko dito pagkukuha ng Cedula, kasi pwede sa min. At yun postal ID kung pwede in the future. But for packages and snail mail? Di na.. 

Sad to say, wala na ko nakikitang mamang Kartero naglalakad sa araw para magdala ng sulat. Nakakita ako once pero di na yun kagaya dati. Lalo na nung bata ako, may nagiikot lagi sa min.

Due to the advent of mobile phones, smartphones, SMS, internet lalo ang email..  How about remittances? Eh PT&T tapos LBC eh dati may nagdedeliver sa bahay. Ngayon, punta ka na lang sa center tapos kunin mo pera or simply funds transfer na lang sa internet. Text mo ng SMS imbes na telegram, morse code or well kung nagpager ka pa. hehe Courier services like FedEx, UPS, DHL and kahit LBC eh natabunan na talaga yun post offices, not only here but around the world na siguro. 

Last time ako pumunta sa Post office to get something eh kasama ko pa si Ron Marc at para pa sa piyesa ng Magic. hehe But anyway, yeah.. Naaawa lang ako sa situation ng Post Offices, even in the US, they were a lot of cut backs done just to reduce the expenses of the post offices. 

I watched an episode sa news tv, may ibang lugar pa pala sa bansa ang gumagamit pa talaga ng post office. Yun napanood ko, imbes na sms, eh nag telegrama pa. hehe Very  old school. 

Hmmmm I did send snail mail pero di na sa Post office, kasi naman kung di lang sa mabagal eh masama pa mawala yun mga padala mo. Or worse, tinago pa o ninakaw pa! Ayos di ba. Pero mukhang maayos naman sila ngayon, after some cutbacks eh kaunti lang ang tao sa post office pero umaandar pa din. Its sad na dati sobra ang pila sa post office kasi lahat magpapadala ng sulat. Tapos yun feeling na fulfilled mareceive yun sulat mo after a long walk or how many ships o dinaanan na islands just to send the letter. 

Well, those days were gone. For now, as technology grows faster and other means of transporting are getting faster din, eh one day, di na post office ang dating yan. Place for your PO Boxes perhaps. May gumagamit pa ba ng PO Box sa tin? hehe For business yun malamang. Kahit sa abroad, may PO Box pa. Sa atin lalo na personally parang wala kumukuha nun. Siguro di lang alam ng tao may ganun. Hehe

Or may cellphone naman, ok na yun. 

I hope di mawala ang Post office, kasi what if every technology falls tapos back to manual tayo!

Edi kailangan ng post office for your communication needs. =)  Not only the government should take the action na maitain yun post offices. Dapat tayo din, kahit bisitahin siguro ang post office ok lang o kahit paminsan minsan padala ka kahit isang sulat lang para maramdaman nila na may silbi pa ang opisina nila. 

Kasi sayang naman kung di natin gagamitin ang isang paraan ng komunikasyon na kinagisnan natin. Sabagay, kahit sobrang advance na lahat ng means of delivery than post office eh well, wag na natin hintayin na kumonti o mawala na sa bayan ang post office .Kaya yun, sana lang tuloy tuloy pa din ang kanilang operations even it these fast paced times where our planet becomes a smaller place.

Post offices are a must,kasi dahil sa kanila.. May huling paraan pa para mapadala ang mensahe mo sa iyong minamahal.. Kahit san ka man o kahit anong oras pa..
