Beyond Second

Every Sunday for me, I always feel a first timer at the Feast. =) Then it became two years. hehe

Two years in a beat, I can't believe that despite sa mga nangyari for me, eh I still believe in a brighter day.

Two days from now, one workshop will make me, a servant sa community. hehe Never in the back of my mind before na not only joining in a catholic community but also serving pa. All I want before is just to see those writers sa Didache, like of course, Bro. Bo. =) Now, I have a pic with him, tapos nagpapirma pa ko ng libro niya. hehe

Along those years, I never felt na this optimisitic and laid back. Of course di pwede laid back sa work and other stuff, or errands, I mean pagkatapos ng lahat na pressure or stress, take a rest, give praise na tapos na at ayun sabak ulit. 

With LOJ, I met a lot of people, different classes sa buhay.. Thanks siyempre sa 2 CG sinalihan ko, one from Sis April then ito with Sis Mitch sa Call center CG. Ang dami ko nakilala at siyempre mga friends na din. hehe Sa mga outreach and activities na ginawa namin with those CG eh napasaya pa lalo being in a community and of course serving the less fortunate. Ah dapat pala bigyan ng malaking pasasalamat si Doc Ian kasi sa mga gamot na idodonate niya lagi tuwing humihingi ako sa kanya. =) At after these years, akalain mo nafeature na mga CG namin sa bulletin. Nasawa na nga ako sa pic ko sa the feast bulletin! hahaha Very fun yet proud!

Too many to mention to those people I've known.. Sobrang dami nila. hehe Sana we can still meet after the sessions, at nakakatuwa na halos sila nagseserve na sa different ministries.

I want to thank of course LOJ for the recollections, programs, hmmmmm KCON siyempre, lahat na natutunan ko or kahit minsan di na ko nakikinig dahil siyempre sa pagod or tight sked, I had fun naman. hehe I definitely won't forget the speakers not only made me laugh but also had a everlasting impression how to live with God's infinite love everyday. Naks. Deep. hehe

Ah to all the Feast builders, siyempre salamat for having that patience and boundless energy to make every session worthwhile. Hmmm Naisip ko mahirap talaga maging builder. Lalo na if you're targeting a certain audience or growth, due to expenses din, but they never stop. With the help of all the ministries, making the Feast sa bawat location eh one of the happiest place on earth! As they always say. =) Mahirap din maging role model, or leader to be exact for a community. Kaya kailangan natin din sila ipagpray lagi. hehe

I want to thank LOJ, for this wonderful experience, as time goes by for me, parang nagiging closer ako kay God, especially recognizing Jesus with the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is true na like nasabi ko sa isang interview, it helped to heal me, my past failures to move on na at higit sa lahat appreciate God's love. At nachange ko yun image of God that is merciful, loving and grateful one. 

Like now, with many unfortunate events, I never stop praying, serving at least and loving God because I know, these struggles won't be long, God's love is forever. =) Of course, minsan pagkapasaway pa din, pero now I'm motivated to do things for a change, and I know I can do it not alone, but with Jesus' promises and now with the blessing ng Holy Spirit, I can feel that whatever problems I face, it's not the end for me. Or even for us. =)

I feel that once now I serve for the community with a great work sked na.. hahahaha 

This is just the beginning of something greater that God has prepared for me. =) 

I can't wait for it. Just say yes to Him!

hungry like a wolf 2

yes, I did come here hungry but early.. hehe I got a good sleep.. yesterday was a simple one.. I should say, a routine day. got home, do some stuff.. take a bath, eat and sleep.. oh, I watched Voltes V.. hehe so that's it.. I read some blogs as well, from my dear friend Villa.. interesting blog about saving these days.. due to the inflation of prices of everything here on earth.. she done some adjustment to her everyday life.. I like the part where she give importance of coins.. hehe good blog.. well, for me, I don't know what else to say about savings or what for these kind of times.. what can I say is poverty gives you a good diet.. physically and mentally.. materially I guess. hehe but you need a good spiritual strength.. I just pray to God that everything will be fine, even in these times.. God help us all..

I woke up at the same time.. but fortunately I got here at work early and I was able to eat something, the caramel bar to be exact.. so it made me full and log in to work.. I read some news, sports news.. Air 21 tied up the series.. great news.. San Beda lost from JRU.. great news again.. hehe San Beda thought they were invincible.. they are not!! Mapua lost to Letran.. so-so news.. Letran seems to be poised for this season even with that lineup.. let's see if they win with San Beda.. anyway, Red Bull lost again.. bad news to them not for me.. hehe nothing else changed for the longest time, except I am still waiting for my request of the VL.. I hope it will go through.. I also experienced a good dream while sleeping.. I won't tell what it is.. I might spoil the fun.. hehe I encontered some news by the way, the outsourcing industry having problems with the talent pool.. especially if they want to reach the 10% global market share for the outsourcing industry.. so they want to reach that? no way.. with the dwidling number of good agents like me.. hehe who is tired of taking calls.. then the industry will have a problem with that.. big problem.. for my case.. I still love the company.. but for the incoming years, if I found a day job which will meets my needs.. I would not come back to this work.. ever.. in case, if there is no choice.. hehe but I will be forever happy, if I will work for a job which I don't need to adjust my habits or ruin my lifestyle.. that will be great for me and my family, my friends.. stress won't bother me since my 3 years are spent in this very stressful job.. I hope that grateful day will come.. if it's day shift call center with a same pay, why not.. but for this kind of shift.. this is the last frontier for me.. hehe anyway, for our CE, we got low scores.. I won't discuss that further.. we got whacked!! hehe but I hope we can recover and do something about this.. I hope for a better score next week.. I believe that's all I can say for now.. if the VL will go through.. I am looking forward this Friday..

came early..

yes, I came early due to some backlogs in the office that I need to finish.. although I just finished it just now.. hmmm payday is coming!! yes!! hehe yesterday, finally I used my TV.. but not that long I guess.. just for 30 mins.. and I was able to watch voltes V.. hehe and then, what else.. I ate tinola which I missed it last Monday night for my lunch.. and do some chores.. and sleep.. good job.. hehe what a boring day.. however, while sleeping of course.. I had a dream.. a weird one, like I met this person.. I won't tell the person's name because for privacy purposes.. hehe but it's like a rewind in the past.. whoa.. and I got up at the middle of the afternoon because of the heat.. damn.. then in the end, the dream did not continue.. anyway, moving on... what else, by the way, before I got to work, I ate corned beef for dinner and some pinakbet.. and after that.. I don't know what else to say.. everyone seems to be quiet, maybe because, they have their own lives.. whatever you do my friends.. take care.. good luck, good day and God bless to all.. I have nothing else to say for today.. it's just, I had a boring and simple day.. hehe

Mom..

yes, yesterday was my Mom's birthday.. as usual, we did not have a grand celebration, coz' my Mom is simple.. hehe but before that, I went to my Dad and gave the cellphone he ordered, I did not stay that long because I am tired and kinda sleepy.. hehe so I went home and ate lunch together with my Mom and it was a simple yet happy lunch.. and after that, I slept.. hmmm not longer than yesterday but it was good, until at the middle of the hot afternoon.. brownout came.. crap.. but the electricity got restored after I don't know how long.. hehe but it was restored and I got back to sleep fast.. anyway.. what else to say.. oh, Ivan's birthday today, so happy birthday for the long hair dude.. hehe and of course, my friend Lee.. hmmm happy birthday to her as well.. both of them, I wish the best of luck and longer life.. God bless to both of them.. hehe that's all I can say.. Lee is my friend, Rheg remembers her so that's all.. hehe but I don't know what happen to her, but oh well I hope she is ok.. so anyway.. after today, I have one day left for work and only one day left for my off before we go back to our usual sked.. damn.. I really like this present sked but that's all we can hope for.. due to business need, we need to adjust.. so I don't know what else to say.. maybe I just need to go back to work.. hehe so good day. God bless to all. good luck and good day.. I believe nobody will be celebrating another birthday in June.. hehe I was not also not able to watch hulk which they say, it's better than the first one.. hehe

long sleep..

yes.. crap.. hehe kinda busy today, at the middle of the work week.. however, I was able to sleep longer yesterday.. I did not eat that much because I was so sleepy and bit tired from yesterday's shift.. but well, I got a long sleep.. very good one indeed.. so I have nothing to talk about except some changes happening next week. like my schedule, since there was really a high spike of calls, we were informed just hours ago about the schedule change, so my off is back at saturday and sunday.. good job.. hehe speed of dell I guess.. happy birthday to mom by the way, we love you always and we just wish you don't lose and stay strong.. hehe anyway, what else? since I plotted my VL on June 28, it will be cancelled.. so I need to insert the VL if possible to June 27.. I hope there is still space.. damn.. hehe this week is kind of tiring but that's fine, I am still sane.. I am not like freaking out or acting weird.. so I am ok.. I just need more sleep I guess because after Sunday, we will go to work on Monday night right away.. I just don't know what else to say.. I believe I just need to focus right now, because it's freaking queuing.. damn.. I love this sked then it will change right away asap.. whoa.. hehe so, take care, good day, good luck.. God bless to all..

first OT

yes, after almost 5 months of working here, and because of the outgoing strike in India, we need to render OT.. actually it's voluntary, but we volunteered to do OT since well, big bucks.. hehe I just volunteered for one hour.. so there.. nothing changed today..or even yesterday.. the Lakers lost yesterday.. they have a lead on halftime but for the second half.. it's Celtics pride came in.. they won.. easily I guess.. even Pierce seems to shake off his knee injury.. good for them.. hehe the next game will be on Monday morning here in the Philippines.. so I need to wait, we all need to wait.. good job.. so the real work starts this month.. with the arrival of the new queues.. good luck to us.. hehe but that's fine, as long there is avail time or break of course.. hmmm tomorrow will be our last day of the work week.. time flies so fast with the added load.. hehe and my birthday is coming as well.. I don't know what to wish for.. maybe just for a better life.. better future.. more guidance.. and help from God.. that's all I guess.. hehe I always hope for the best of my life.. life seems to be gleam these days.. but we should never give up.. not yet.. Love? not yet.. I am interested to meet somebody but going into relationship this time.. in my situation? not yet.. forget it.. hehe maybe when I am recovered, that will be the best time.. recovered from everything.. haha now, what else to do.. I do not know what else to say.. maybe I am so busy now.. but that's fine.. I can take it I guess.. this pressure or whatever.. what are my plans in my new days off? on Sunday, the CRAP will watch kung fu Panda.. it has great or positive reviews.. and it will be my first time to watch an animated film feature since.. I don't know when was the last time.. hehe so it will be a fun first day off.. and on Monday.. I don't know yet what to do.. maybe slack and get some rest.. that's all.. some planning again..hehe what will I do next.. by the way, next week will be our performance review and we hope that we all get regularize.. hehe it will be a good start if that happens in my career here in Dell..

I hope that everything will be in place in the next half of the year.. all my major plans will be executed.. or some of my problems will be solved.. so that's it.. I hope also a better future of the people around me, like my family, friends, team mates.. I just hope that everybody is happy.. God bless us all.. hehe anyway, that's all I can say for today.. I just need to focus to finish my job today.. I am kinda sleepy as well.. good day, take care, good luck.. God bless to all..

a green day..

yes, I woke up at 4:30am and dressed up so fast and went to Dell office.. for what? for our community service day.. we went to La Mesa Dam.. what did I expect? I don't know.. at first.. we were just talking about what we will do and are we getting some freebies.. hehe things like that.. not high expectations.. just to volunteer for this save the forest program.. our goal in our regeneration program.. and that's it.. we left the office around what.. hmmm 6am.. and then we reached great fairview.. we got lost.. after 30 mins.. we found the village which leads to the Dam.. hehe I only saw that Dam in TV especially it's a project of ABSCBN foundation.. so it's like their advertisement for forest awareness.. so there.. after we reached the park. we gone down.. by the way, on the way to the park, we ate some crackers and of course.. free shirt again!!! haha it's the 3rd shirt I got from Dell.. love it.. hehe everytime there is an event.. I know, there will be some freebies in store for the participants.. so I knew it..

let's go back to the park whatever scenario.. so we gone down from the bus and proceed right away to the pavillion.. the place was great.. really, honestly.. I will tell you why later.. so there.. and the program started with the introduction of the park and some kind words from our team.. after that brief introduction.. hmmm we watched some video about the park, like history.. and it's purpose in our lives.. one interesting fact that I can share from the park is, the ecopark is the only forest situated in the Urban metro manila.. which also includes the largest water supply in the city as well, unfortunately, it is only one.. one Dam.. but having a forest in the middle of the chaotic Manila.. is really great.. so we really need to take care of this only forest.. so the first activity we did was putting the soil through the plastic.. it was a fun activity because well, we are like gardeners.. hehe then the second one is putting the small plant to the soil with plastic that we made.. I think, I did not get some pictures while doing those activities.. hehe and then our Managers, done the tree planting ceremony for Dell.. so many activities with such small time.. by the way.. we did not have so much volunteers.. so I think only 60-70 people joined the said program for today.. after those nursery and planting ceremonies.. we were given a talk about vermicomposting.. well, organic farming as well.. if you ask what it is, it's farming without the use of a pesticide, machines, we only use the nature and biodegradable materials to farm.. vermi is well worm for short.. we need to use a lot of worms for organic farming.. it was a long talk and everybody was screaming their hearts out when they demonstrate the procedure, with live worms!!! hehe it is a long procedure.. I was not able to get all of it, but I definitely interested with that because with organic farming, rest assured, all your crops, or even spices, are 100% organic.. meaning they are more nutritious than those we buy in the market or supermarket.. those crops are made from the conventional farming method.. even the organic method is kinda tedious, long.. but in the end, you are not only making healthy and delicious crops but also you save the environment at the same time..

so if I have some spare land in the future for farming.. I will use that method.. hehe I will learn that method.. anyway, after that very long yet interesting talk... we gone to the important part of our activity.. strolling around the park.. I love the park.. well, it's an eco park.. so we have a guide.. quite smart I say about her, even she did not tell her name.. hehe but she explained every part of the park.. we gone looking at each tree.. then we looked some places, including the paintball place.. the swimming pool.. the LaMesa Dam itself.. some places there as well.. it is a really a great place.. to come back.. I will refer it to my friends.. why? you can do a lot of things there, even you can't stay there overnight.. but, which park you can do like swimming, playing paintball, nature trekking.. almost everything.. so it's worth to comeback and help the forest I guess.. hehe news just got in, hmm Nina's mom, whose been in the hospital last week, just passed away.. I need to confirm it but it's sad.. it's very hard.. so I hope Nina will able to overcome this and pray to God that her Mom will be in a better place.. in heaven.. rest in peace for her.. so well, I will pray for her.. and if I can squeeze my schedule tomorrow, I will visit to her with Joanne.. by the way, what we ate a very good lunch.. I ate twice because of the excess food.. hehe and drank so much softdrinks.. I love the event.. free food, free.. whatever.. hehe ok, I will add some pics.. and I can't explain the great scenary in that park.. so feast your eyes.. that's all for today.. take care, God bless to all.. good day and good luck!!
