An Unfortunate Event

February 17th, 2007 by 0001127q

    Christmas last year. Everybody was preparing their christmas list, stuff to buy and all that, including me of
course. I then bumped to someone and told me that there’s a girl named Kelly who’s looking for people who will work for their company in California. She claimed that it was a Nursing Home, named Atria Del Rey. Details were tempting knowing the fact that I only have to pay 15,000 pesos (10000k for processing fee and 5000k for fingerprinting) and provide them with my papers. The first time I heard about it, I was like "It’s a good offer, I’ll think about it." The next day, for some reason, I thought my friend told me that this Kelly was his wife’s cousin so I was like "Gosh! This is for real!’ So I arranged my papers and met them with my officemate, his wife, which was really pretty, and Kelly at Starbucks Valero in Makati. I paid her 11,500 including my papers. Prior to the meeting, I informed her that I don’t have a passport and will give it to her once release from DFA. She said that she knows someone who can provide that to us and I just need to pay him 1500 pesos. Anyway, I was with Palan when we met her and she even offered him to come with me in US. She said that we have to fix his papers before the 15th so we’ll have the same flight by feb 2 2007. After a day, we gave her his papers + the processing fee.

    It was my first time to meet her at Valero so I asked her some details regarding the job. She claimed that
it’s a family business, that her brother’s a doctor in their facility. Anyway, here are her details:

                                   Name of Facility:            Atria Del Rey
                                   Address:                        8825 Baseline Road, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730
                                   Tel#:                              9094373358
                                   Employer:                      Rebecca A. Smith
                                   Illegal Recruiter’s Name: Kelly Forehand

    Out of curiosity, I searched it on the net and found that Atria Del Rey does exist. I got the number 9099894346 (from the internet) and called the facility. I asked for Rebecca Smith and a girl named Diana who told me to callback after an hour coz she’s not around. Two stupid things I’ve done: I called the number from Google and not the number that she gave me and I did not call the facility back (ownership huh?). So knowing the fact that Rebecca Smith does exist, we paid her 10k for our fingerprinting fee. I was not happy with my job that time, you know, Same Shit, Different Day. So I felt like.. Let me just try this out. Besides, an opportunity like this happens once in a lifetime. So there you go. We paid her and was just waiting for our scheduled fingerprinting. Unfortunately, it was cancelled the first time and was rescheduled several times. Palan started to doubt the first time the scheduled was cancelled. But he won’t ask me directly coz he knows I’ll get mad for not trusting her coz yes.. she was nice at that time. The last time we saw her was at starbucks in the front of US Embassy and told us that there’s no need for fingerprinting coz our visas are OK. She was even asking for another 20k coz the employer will not pay for ‘whatever’ (forgot the term) bec our applications were late. I told her that we don’t have money anymore and she was like ‘Abonohan ko na lang muna 10K pro kayo na bahala
sa kalahati’. Tigas ng mukha!! That night, she texted me and said that she’ll just pay for the 20k and we can pay her once we’re at US (nakonsensya pa?!). So that was it. All I heard were promises from her SMS and immediately lost connection from her. Haay, thank God that she only got that amount of money from us. I know that it was still a big amount of money but compare to what we see in news like people selling their houses and all that. I even know someone who paid 250000k to an illeagal recruiter. Anyway, this is prolly one of their new modus operandi. Easy money for them huh?? Let this be a lesson for us.. (hehe esp for me).  Here are her
details: her name is KELLY FOREHAND (she works in E-Telecare before). She claims that she has her own condo in
Torre Lorenzo beside La Salle. I will post her picture once my oficemate sends it to me. She claims that she just visited Manila bec her Granny died and she’s just extending her stay here because they need people to work for them. She told us (on our way home) that she has a boyfriend (or whatever), a lawyer graduate and who works at the same company, who doesn’t wanna help us find her coz he believes that she’s telling the truth. Haay nko, we did file a police report and no news as of the moment. I hope this blog will help other people and will help us find her. And oh yeah, Forgot to inform you that MOST of her victims are call center employees. She prolly thinks that since we have good salary, it’s not gonna be hard for us to pay her fees.

    What the hell, wherever you are, I know that you’re very happy spending our money.. but let me remind you.. may katapusan ang lahat gurl.. BAD KARMA will hunt you (or it’s prolly hunting you know) and you’ll regret every single second you spent taking other people’s money.

I filed a VL to be with Palan’s Bday. Pro we decided to celebrate it next time ksi I just came from work and he has to prepare pa his ‘inuman session’ for the night. I was pretty guilty kasi I know that Palan’s very OC with this kind of stuff. I mean, us being together for 8 long years, there was never a time that he missed to greet me on my birthday at exactly 12AM. When I woke up.. it was 1.30AM na of oct 17th. Nakkaguilty! For someone that you love I can’t even wake up for 5 minutes just to greet and text him. Kakainins petiks naman ako sa work..like now I’m just waiting na maglogout ako kasi I’m not doin’ anything.  Anyway, so I checked my cel and I saw that he texted me at around 10:30PM. Ayon I sent him my sori-hapi-beerday-amishu-laybo text and then sleep ako ulit. The next day, punta ako sa haws nya so we can send our time together. Pro he didn’t say a word. Pretty weird coz it was hid bday… kala ko sleepy pa dhl napuyat sa kanyang ’salubong session’ with his ‘watever’ friends kaya no comment ako. So sinundo namin si tutoy sa school and while we’re waiting.. sabi ba naman skin.. at around 11:30PM someone called daw at his cel and said something against me. Ang lola mo nagulat, xempre malay ko ba dba. Ayon daw, this loser called and she was saying not so good things about me, that I was  having an affair with another guy who works for another company. Haaay she was saying a lot of things daw against me eh.. bst natatandaan nya daw dhl sa sobrang galit is sinasabi nga na may lalaki ako. Xempre natural reaction is magalit xa, ego nga nmn, so somehow he raised his voice sa gurl and she said daw ‘O.. easy klng wag ka magalit’. Sabi daw ni Palan.. ‘O cge kung totoo yang cnasabi mo, anong company nagwork si Maj?’ At ang girl..TUMAHIMIK. Wala na xang narinig ni isang word from her. Xempre and Papi ko nagsabi kung ano ano pa after and then pinutol ng girl yung line. MY GOSH! THE NERVE! Hayy.. napaka loser at walang kwentang tao tlg. Ang tigas ng muka to call Palan sa bisperas ng kanyang bday tps ganon lng pla. Sabi nya skin ndi naman daw xa affected ksi he had a good time naman daw when he was w/ his ‘watever’ friends.  But of course, we have ot cosider the fact that somethin’ happened, dba?

But anyway, girl kilala kita.. I don’t have the right cguro to state your name here pro grabe mahiya ka naman. Two years ago, itong girl na ito o kung cno man ang kakuntsaba nya was using my name and my contact information to chat with someone. Bigla nlng may tatawag sa haws and was claiming na ka-chat ko sila last night and I told them daw to call me. Grabe na ito. I was working pa that time in Pbcom kaya ang lola mo nevermind nlng dhl sa graveyard shift. Hayy.. super ang ginagawa mo sa life ko! Meron png time na someone would come to me and said na ako yung chatmate nila. So meaning to say pati pics ko??!!! Desperado dba??!

Pro one thing is..I thank you for wastin your time to ruin my life pro unfortunately walng ngyayari. Thank you ulit ksi I’ve proven how much my Palan loves me.. ansaya dba?! Keep those chatmates comin! Ska para sayo… I work at CONVERGYS CORPORATION. Ayan pra next time.. NDI KA MAGMUKANG TANGA PAG MANINIRA KA NG BUHAY NG TAO. This is the first and thae last time na I’ll spend one second of my life for you.  Kawawa ka naman ksi ilang taon ka nang ganyan. :-)

Ska isa pa… BWAKANANGINA MO MAMATAY KA DIN ULOL!

End of sharing.

Red Aron Del Rosario

September 13th, 2006 by 0001127q

       This was a busy and nerve-racking week for the family. Momma had her hysterectomy last Monday and thank God she’s OK now. I remember my couz saying… ‘Wow Tita pasarap knlng!’ Haha. She just went out of hospital last Thursday and ayon… keri nman.

       September 7. Probably because of what happened, we dont give importance to this day anymore. To start off, Red Aron Del Rosario was born September 7, 1992 and died two days after. Nerve-racking din yung day na yon..2 plng kami ni Les sa family and we’re so excited to have a baby brother. So ayon..mama said na we have to get her to the hospital coz ‘this is it’ moment na nga daw. I remeber her changing her clothes ska if I’m not mistaken nagplantsa pa ata xa. kulit no?? I mean yun yung time na she feels like the moment is near. But anyway, I was in school then thinking if she’s OK and I was really excited kung anong hitsura nya or something. The next day naman.. I don’t really remember anything about my parents worrying about something eh. Cguro they just did not tell us na there’s something wrong with Red ksi we’re pretty young at that time. The next thing I knew, pops was telling me na nakain ni Red yung poopoo nya and it really affected his system and risky din kay mama yung ngyari. Ganon.. Ahmm mejo naalala ko pa nga na mejo ndi na talaga maganda yung condition ni Red and yung medicine na kailngan nya is ndi available sa hospital and pops has to buy it pa sa drugstore. When he went there, yung katabi na shop ng drugstore hino-hold up so may big time na gulo tlg but he still insist to buy the medicine since yun yung pimakamalapit sa hosp and there’s no time na pag lumayo pa xa. So ayon, he bought it pero unfortunately, ndi na xa umabot. Wala na si Red. Til’ now, nakatatak pa din sa mind ko kung gano ka-sad si Papa when he lost his unico hijo (at that time). Ndi nga xa nakapag drive nung nilibing si Red. They’ve always wanted a Baby Boy. Papa quitted his job in London and decided to focus more with his family. Ayon,, he even said ‘ndi ako titigil hanggat wala kong lalaki’ Haha. I remember him not saying anything the whole wake of Red. Ewan.. it’s either ndi kami nagusap or ndi ko naaalala. Basta what I clearly remember was staring at his teeny weeny coffin and it looks like natutulog lang xa. Pwamis! Ang cute cute! I was still young at that time so ndi maxado ganon ang impact pro as I was growing up.. ayon.. bst ganon cguro tlg. He should be 14 by now. Cguro super spoiled yon skin.. cguro may nagdadala na ng girl sa house.. hehe.. ndi naman ako mahigpit.. cguro nag aagawan cla ng sis ko kakatelebabad .. cguro textbabad din hehe. Wla lng…
I’m just so fuckin’ disappointed with myself ksi I forgot his bday and I feel like ndi ko xa nabibigyan ng importance or whatever. I’m really sorry, bro. Belated happy birthday and awubyu :-)Haay.. nakakaloka. 

The Al-Qaedan Conspiracies - Chapter I

September 13th, 2006 by 0001127q

The Al-Qaedan
Conspiracies - Chapter I

Osama Bin Ladin: Welcome Soloflite. I praise Allah that you came to my summons.

SoloFlite: Tell me again why I’m here.

Osama: I have watched your
earlier interview with Saddam Hussein
, Soloflite. I believe only someone as
twistedly demented as you will be able to fully comprehend the information I am
sharing with you.

Solo: What exactly do you have to tell me Osama?

Osama: I have evidence showing that Bush is now heading a group of fanatical
overly-zealous christian crusaders who are hell bent on terrorizing the muslim
world.

Solo: That’s probably his cell group, Osama. Christian cells are like little
prayer groups that read the bible together and worship in private. I dont think
they’d hurt muslims.

Osama: I also have cell groups, Solo. I know what cells can do. Im actually
very proud of them.

Solo: Theres a difference between bible-study and terrorist cells.

Osama: Anyway, I have reason to believe that George Bush and his terrorist
network have plans to eradicate the whole muslim populace.

Solo: Nah. You’re watching too many movies, Osama. I mean, what kind of person
would declare war on half a continent, destroy their economic foundations and
basically threaten to blow their civilization to smithereens just because their
way of life is different from… OH. WAIT.

Osama: Yes. George bush clearly fits the role.

Solo: Thats not what I meant.

Osama: We of the Al Qaeda have uncovered a plan to destroy half the muslim
populace in the world.

Solo: ??? Go on.

Osama: The first stage was to test out a new uber-powerful nuclear device that
can wipe out an area in minutes. The first prototype could flatten a whole city
without being detected by conventional means. This was apparently done already.
With great success.

Solo: Done already?? With great success??! When?

Osama: Yes. Remember the earthquake that devastated Iran’s  Bam City  last year?

Solo: Yes. Around 30,000 iranians died there. But that was a natural disaster.

Osama: Im afraid not, Solo. That was the first prototype.

Solo: ….??!

Osama: Phase two was another test for their upgraded bomb. And it was done at
the same time in december last year.

Solo: Another earthquake? But the only earthquake of significance in December
after Christmas was…

Osama: In Indonesia. The  Muslim country  of  Indonesia,  If I  might add. That is the latest version of their doomsday device. An undrwater-based explosion that would trigger a Tsunami of powerful force.  

Solo: ….

Osama: Apparently, they made a mistake on the location of the epicenter.
Instead of flattening the whole Indonesian Archipelago, it only affected the
outermost coasts and the neighboring countries of Malaysia and Sri Lanka. 

Solo: But still… why would he attack he attack Indonesia instead of the Middle East directly?

Osama: You know how terrorists operate, Solo. This is a warning signal to the
Muslim world. Besides, my friends in JI are based there. Plus, the date of both
events are signficant.

Solo: December 26?

Osama: Yes. It is my eighth wife’s firstborn’s cousin’s birthday. Bush is
telling the world he knows everything about me.

Solo: I still find this a bit incredulous.

Osama: If you think about it, why else would the US give such a paltry sum to help in the rehabilitation of Indonesia?
Solo: …good question. Because it takes days of careful study before they
could release an amount that big?

Osama: No! Of course not! Its because they DONT WANT TO. THESE ARE MUSLIMS, my
friend. And thats what its all about.

Solo: So when did you learn of this again?

Osama: Back in 2000. I had to act quickly once I learned of the full scale of
his plans. That is why I launched what you would call a pre-emptive strike.


Solo: Pre-emptive strike? You dont mean…
 


Osama: Yes. September 11.

Rainy Days

June 29th, 2006 by 0001127q

I just came from 9 days VL and
decided not to go anywhere so that I can rest. I remember watching ‘24 Oras’
and heard this newscaster saying ‘Ayon sa PAGASA, opisyal na pong nag-umpisa
ang tag-ulan’. So I was thinking ‘Buti naman I never had a good sleep this
summer’. Haay and so I went to work that night, there were my career
obligations waiting for me. Although I only slept two hours before going to
work, I was able to make it that day so pauwi plng ako namimiss ko na yung bed
ko! When I went home, hayy.. tulog nko agad. I was pretty excited to sleep
because of what I heard last night about the weather. I usually use my phone
for alarm. Three times naka alarm ang cel ko everyday–

10AM

so I can help my mom prepare for my
sibs lunchies,

4pm

I have to wake up na so I can prepare dinner and

7PM

time to go to work. This schedule
depends on my shift though..so applicable lng to for this month.

 

The next day, tutoy woke me up early
and told me that Mama can’t cook coz she has to go to the hospital. Wow! In a
matter of 5 milliseconds, I got up from bed and went out of my room. I saw my
mom lying at bed and she looks like she was losing her Iron deficiency.. haay
namumutla xa. So I cooked. Palan kols me ‘Panic gwerl’ coz I get hysterical
about stuff. Blood pumpin’ if you wanna call it. Cguro lng I just don’t want
anything bad to happen with my loved-ones. So ayon mejo late na and I cooked
their baon pro maga dumating yung schoolbus so they decided na ihatid nlng si
tutoy and their baon then punta na sa hospital. So ayon, while shakingly
waiting coz I don’t know where my parents are and they haven’t text me yet. It
seems like seconds turned minutes and minutes turned hours. Haayy.. after 2
hours, my dad said na naka-confine si Mama sa isang small time hosp because if
they went somewhere else.. ‘ndi na daw xa aabot!’ So here I am, I was like
‘Huwaaatt?? Ndi na aabot??’ Grabe ano ibig nya sabihin?? So he was like
nag-collapse na daw si mama and she was given oxygen and all that. But she’s
doing fine now. Sus! sa totoo lng in times like these I believe yung mga ganon
term is ndi OK. Mukhang I need to coach Papa in using ‘positive phraseology’
ha. Anyway, sabi nya she’s OK and she needs some rest dahil na-dehydrate (???)
because madaming nawalang blood.  So
ayon, my sis and I were pretty cool about it since he said na she’s OK na. Although,
when I asked him the reason why she’s bleeding. He didn’t give me an answer and
told me na we have to wait for the doctor’s diagnosis. Pero yung small time
hospital na dinalhan, super dami kong naririnig na stories about it (yikes!).
Well aside form the fact that Palan’s fwend died there, sabi nya yung couz nya
nung may ‘unbearable stomach pain’ don dinala. She was diagnosed with UTI daw and she was given medicines for the pain.
Pro ayon, it didn’t stop so the next day she went at another hospital tapos she
had an operation dahil her appendix exploded already. Grabe naman!! So me
thinking about their misdiagnosis chuva.. kakatakot!

 

Anyway, I decided not to go to work
that night coz no one will watch my younger sibs. So ayon, nice weather but I
didn’t sleep well. My other sis naman (dami namin no?? 5 kami eh!) slept at the
hospital. When I woke up the next day,
nakauwi na yung sis ko and she said that ‘may nakapang LUMP yung doctor kay
mama’ since nursing naman ang course nya
she said na baka daw ‘MAYOMA’ kaya baka she’ll undergo for an operation or
something. Well, being the blood pumpin gwerl, hysterical na naman ako. Im not
really sure what Mayoma is or whatever. I was like if she’ll undergo operation
then we might as well transfer her to a better hospital. So I texted my mom and told her that but she
didn’t reply. Haay, for the first time of my life, tears were falling from my
eyes, as in, non-stop. To the highest level tlg. I tried to search to the
internet what Mayoma is but I all of them were giving me ‘not so good
information’. So I tried to chat with some of my friends who have medical
backgrounds but no one answered me. Hayy that day I have proven na not all of
your friends will help you in times of need, as in!! Well after almost 3 excruciating
hours of not getting my luck, I called my couz who works in Makati Med and
asked her about it. Take note, I was crying intermittently while searching what
the hell Mayoma is. So ayon, she said na if the bleeding stopped after giving
her meds then it’s not that bad. She asked for the doctor’s diagnosis but I
told her that we have to wait til

5PM

coz yun lng yung sched for the
ultrasound (punyeta

aragon

..may schedule pa! small time kasi! Pno
kung urgent or whatever??). She told me na if there’s a need for an operation,
then we have to transfer her to another hospital nga. She told me to ask for
medical abstract and all of the medicines that she took while she’s on that
hospital.

 

I have to go to my work that day,
nice na naman ang weather pro I really can’t sleep. Haay, I was like ‘Maajjj!!
Sayang ang lamig!’ hehe. Hayy, til now, I still can’t sleep coz of what
happened. Grabe no?? Mama’s OK na pro we’ll get a second opinion from another
doctor. Yun lng. I just hope that everything’s OK na. Nalulugi na ang Barrio
Fiesta! I’m still praying and will be praying for her health. Hayy sabi nya
she’s getting older na daw kaya ganon. Nako, If you take away my family from
me, my life is over. It’s like burying me alive. I really don’t wanna go
through the same experience again, ever (well

sana

). How I wish summer nlng ulit kahit
kulang sa sleep, keri lng. I hope rainy days are over.

Love this Blog!

Resignation Uncut

Okay. So I finally made it out of the hellhole that has been tormenting me for the last 6 months. I am now officially tendering my resignation from the company I’ve grown to love but loathe in the end because of the inevitable invasion of rotten politics.

I’ve always believed that I should hang on to my ethical practices and have my moral compass checked from time to time. Having to witness the slow but evident moral decay of the program I’m in has definitely added fuel to my disgust and disappointment. But ultimately, I wouldn’t have stood up to my beliefs if I was not the victim. The odds are stacked against me and I simply couldn’t take it anymore.

It’s hard for me to leave the first company I’ve ever worked for. Convergys has provided me with so much growth professionally and financially. But when it comes to character, I would say that I was challenged. I don’t admit to being self-righteous but this is already deplorable. I’ve come to be lead by the notion of integrity and lived by it as much as I can. It turns out that I was terribly wrong. People will do their best to spite you and get ahead whenever they can. Be it from the simple information you basically knew to the biggest and most complex of machinations a superior can do to answer a favor. I certainly am not naive when it comes to reading people in general but this is a different kind of setting altogether. Persons you thought will cover your back are much more vicious than they seem to be. I’ll be discussing them more in detail but then again, you know my point.

I am now jobless. Yes, some of you would think,"Ang tanga tanga niya, aalis siya dito nang walang kapalit na work." On one side, it can be true: I need to live practically in order to survive. Isn’t money the sole purpose of us getting jobs anyway? But on the flipside I have my moral dictates that I cannot simply work for a person or group of people whom I think are not good role models. Most especially, if they are power-trippers and plain unprofessional.

I may not have security financially within the next few days but I know I have my values intact. Besides, even if I stayed there for the love of money, I’ll rot of the stench of the management’s wrongdoings. I’d rather have not been accepted for the MDP position. I already know how evil and repulsive the process is. Such victory will not be considered sweet anymore.

I am going my way now to be uncompromising to my values and at least find a better company as far as living up with its reputation is concerned. For now, I would just like to thank CVG for one thing: these bunch of people I have come to know, mingle, taunt, laugh, dine out, ride home, and compete with. They are the people who have taught me more to life than I ever have learned in my collegiate days. I am in the real world now. It’s kinda shocking for now, but I’ll get by. Anyhow, I still thank you immensely.

To the Mentor Team: I don’t know if this information is accurate pero Salamat! sa pagpili niyo sa akin. I am so honored to be part of this prestigious team (though it really started out at the wrong foot). I’m happy that sama-sama tayong lumago at kahit isa isa tayong nauubos, the name “Mentor” will forever be engraved in our souls.

  • Lem – proud ako sa’yo! You’ve been the most positive person out here and I admire that. Actually, when I thought of resigning the first time, what you said about “proving something” has changed my mind. Though, tinalo pa rin talaga ako ng ipis infestation.
  • Nei - hay naku tama na ang pagsabi mo ng “a dik”. Baliw ka talaga. Seriously, I thought at first you were on the antipatiko side pero pareho lang pala tayong antipatiko. Hehe. Hindi, marami rin akong natutunan sa’yo. Salamat!
  • Emile – you know what you want kaya ang masasabi ko lang ay “Go! Go! Go!” Practical ka sa buhay. Wag ka gumaya sa ‘kin. Aalis nang walang ipangbabayad sa Citibank. I will never forget the “hoe_liday” references at ang Mini-Me sa friendster. Haha!
  • Mac – Mamam na! Isa ka sa mga taong alam ang mga nangyayare sa office so it’s nice to know that I’m not the only one. I respect you for still being professional despite the fact na pikon na pikon ka na sa mga events. Tang-ina nila, mga manggagamit, pero Mac, may patutunguhan ren tyo! Kampai!
  • Bard – pasensya na kung pero negative naririnig mo kapag nag-ha-huddle ako sa team dahil dissatisfied na talaga sila sa palakad eh. I’m happy nakilala kita at na-witness ko kung gaano ka ka-dedicated sa trabaho. I hope you didn’t get too swayed by my revolutionary speeches. Ang kaibahan lang natin is: ikaw mayroon pang mararating sa company  na ‘to, ako wala na. Good luck!
  • Christian – ang famous hazelnut eyes at 3K hairdo ng Team Raven! Haha! Well, I just like to say thanks for sharing some stories with me. I appreciate the trust. Pero mashado ka naman secretive, nabiktima ka tuloy ng mga teammates mo! Well, good luck sa mga next months! Salamat!
  • Allan – wag ka na kasing magmura, it will help you a lot. Alam mo, sa tingin ko luck played a major part of your growth somehow. Be thankful. But still, I won’t deny, magaling ka ren talagang agent. Nacoconceal lang cos akala nagbibiro ka lagi, hehehe. You are patient and thriving, and I salute that. Salamat sa mga yosi breaks dahil nakilala ko pa yung mas seryosong side mo. Sodexho!
  • JC – next time, magdala ng kapote. Kabaligtaran naman kayo ni Allan. Kala ko naman shy type ka. OMG! Nagoyo ako! Haha. But seriously, just set your priorities straight and everything will follow. I hope yung mga sinabi ko ren sa inyo before helped somehow.
  • Popo – thanks for considering me as one of your best friends. I was surprised kasi antipatiko ako and I always have a ready pintas to somebody. But you always have a good word for anyone. I told you before, you’re so nice I wanna hate you cos it makes me look so filthy. Thanks for your insights in music, dami kong nakilalang bagong artists!
  • Cooky – hay masuwerte ka. In a few months, you’ll be the real MDP Goddess at di lang sya birubiruan! Watch ka na lng sa mga teammates mo dahil bitter yan! Hahaha joke lng! At ang suwerte mo rin dahil 500 mo lang nabili headset ko!
  • Gary – the last woman standing. Grabe, ang dami na nating napagkwentuhan. You’re a person of great depth na minsan hindi ko na maskayan pero nagegets pa rin. Thanks for keeping my mind away from stuff from time to time. It sure did help me enormously to have an open mind listening to me. I hope, like you I can say, “Fuck the world! I’m going out on my own!” Basura.
  • Madge – Mother! Salamat sa mga inside scoop mo and by making me laugh with your sharp panglalait. Apir! Sana happy ka na dahil wala ka nang kasamang ipis sa buhay mo. Tuloy tuloy na ‘yan. I’m glad that even if it was for a short time, I got to know you. You are a good Big Sister to your family. Godbless!
  • Mama Mel – ang mama ng bayan. Salamat sa mga mature pieces of advise and never forgetting to give me a booze up whenever I feel confused or dejected. It sure was an honor to be your friend. First conversation natin, yung Tier 2 Issue Tracker lang, pero ngayon ang dami ko na nakukuwento sa’yo! Thanks for the open-mindedness Mel! Magkukuwentuhan pa rin tayo soon.
  • Jing – the sage. I have a high regard for your wisdom. You’ve clearly erased my mind of anything unconstructive with your prudent snippets and taps to reality. You certainly have a go-get-‘em attitude with you. Thanks for teaching me to be spontaneous and take things as part of destiny’s endgame.
  • Blue – happy ako kase happy kang tao. Mahilig kang tumawa and to be honest, it helped me too. I’m almost masungit everyday but when you laugh on the most trivial of things, I can’t help but blurt a giggle on my own. Hope things will go well over there.
  • Lance – wala nang nag-alaga ng Bubbler dito kainis. Hay. Sana may mga bosses na mag-alaga sa inyo diyan. Go! Go! Go! Salamat sa support and I will do the same and pray for your success as well.
  • Dru – pasalamat ka sa mabilis na panahon nagkaroon ka kaagad ng work. Almost that easy. Ako, super hirap na ngayong maghanap. No money pa. Akalain mo namang may patutunguhan pala ang pride. But seriously, thanks for the friendship.
  • Usher – walang kupas. Official emblem ka pa rin ng Friendster account ng Ravens. Haha. Good luck sa mga future endeavors. Nalalagas na Wave 5. We may have fallen together but we will grow apart.

Mahal ko ang Team Raven!

—dude, I admire ur courage..

I always go and check Jing’s website coz she has links to all of our common close friends. Ska I dont need to install any proxy stuff kasi blogsites are not part of surf control. So being a petix girl (and getting paid, joke), I make sure to read updates all the time. Siguro this is one way for me to think na I’m still with them. Tapos naisip ko lang.. yung mga name ng blogspot nila. Bakit kaya yun naisip nila. Bakit siyoktong? ano ba ibig sabihin non? Puro kasi kami World History nakalimutan ko tuloy itanong. Bakit lanskydgreat? san ba xa great? Sa sex? life? work? Hihi. Why weirdspaghetti? Nakakain ba xa ng pasta? o weird xa na kumakain ng pasta? Bakit booty and the bytch? bytch ba xa? yung booty nya parang sa bytch? waah. Nakakaloka. C Mel? Chobibo? Haha. Mahilig ata xa chumubibo kaya ganon. Si pao.. at kelan ka pa naging Pete?? This Boi’s Life? Parang kanta diba? An alphanumerical, enigmatic encounter. Iba na ‘to.. deep!! Si Kevin.. akalain mong kalalaking tao..sabay ang naisip na name ng blog is..Chuvachuvarlavavavoom?? Unique! Bading na bading. Do we use this to show our other side?? Ang blog? Para san ba ito? To tell other people what’s happening in our daily lives..anuveh? Public Diary ba ito? Ska bakit madaming pop-ups pag open ng blogspot? Pano kung walang free account? gagawa pa kaya tyo ng blog? Sino kaya nagpauso non? Haay.. Pro isa lng masasabi ko.. karamihan sa mentors.. magaling sumulat!! Beat that!

I’m just so frustrated when I received my ‘emolument’ last wednesday then I found out that there were still no adjustments. We’ve been trying to fix the issue for 3 months. What the hell?! We’ve lost track already. We’re not sure who to blame anymore. ‘Ndi naman kami mukhang pera’. We could’ve accept if that happened once or twice but 6? 7 times?! Absolutely unacceptable! We’ve tried to forward the situation to the higher management but still nothing happened. When I coordianted with the HR guy and told him how fucked up he is..ok I’m just kidding. When I told him how frustrated we are he just said that it’s equally frustrating for them as well. If I’m a bitch.. I would prolly tell them that it’s their fucking job anyway! Not only that, we found out that ’some’ people who are supposed to be doing their job is not really doing it. Some people lied about it and all that.. whatever. When I asked some people on the floor how long they think it would take for us to receive the adjustments.. they were like.. ‘goodluck!’ Gosh! They were all telling me stories how slow their process is so all I have to do is wait. Wow.. that was really something. I even heard someone will resign because of the same issue. How frustrating! I wish this will never ever happen to anyyone again. I hope they will change the process or probably I hope they’ll be more efficient next time. Hmm.. I wonder if these people experienced this as well.

Just being here in CMW for 3 days I feel like I’m goin’ to explode. My first day, I was wearing business casual (shet ndi kaya comfy esp when everybody;s on dress down). When I went to my direct sup, he immediately wants me to handle transition team without any orientation. Although, I dont care naman coz.. ganon talaga pag mentor..haha!! So we (me and goching) wen tdown, yun nga lng, there were no team shceduled that day. So my sup told me to wait for his instructions.
I was talking to my former friends before so i was kinda like roaming around saying hi and hello when suddenly he went to me and said ‘you should be doing sbs by now’ duh??! kung pde lng sumagot.. ‘excuse me lng ha, you told me to wait kaya?’ haayy.. ganyan tlg pag naggagaling-galingan (easy!). So I did monitor.. kakaloka pla, can’t open my CMS coz I need to call IT pa, to have them MAP my login daw. Waah! So at the end of the day, I only monitored 2 bloody agents..pde na yon diba? I really had a bad day. Hmm.. I didn’t take my lunch.. coz you know. Bad trip si sup. Si chuva pabibo naman. I feel like the only way for me not to be annoyed by her is to accept the fact that she’s like that. So I did. Bahala xa. In fairness naman, I don’t need to be do a lot of admin stuff coz she can do it daw.. o diba?? less work for me.

Second day, hmmm, i recently found out that I’m afraid of heights. Vahket?? I was crossing the foot bridge when I suddenly stop coz I saw a humongous trcuk crossing the highway. Nahilo ako at pinagpawisan ng malamig (hinatid pla ko ni papi on my first day so no hassle). So I saw Manong Guard and told him ‘Manong, samahan mko’ (sabay hawak ng mahigopit sa arms nya) Hahaha!! Nakakahiya pro I have to deal with it. Same shit happened that day. I worked. No lunch (coz you know). Have to deal with Bibo. Have to MAP my login coz I used a different TL station. Buti nlng I know some people kundi gudlak to me tlg. Until now.. nothing has change. Pro yung footbridge..ok na kami. Nadadaanan ko na xa na without any hassle..although nilalamig pa din ako pag dumadaan ako don. Pro I know konti nlng…

Dami ko na nga napansin dito. Yung mga security guards lahat nka-smile. Masarap pla yung Milo shake sa Mini Stop. Mga nka-formal chuva ang mga waiter sa pantry–take note cater sila evryday. I heard a lot of chsmis about ‘closet queens’ in PBCOM including their sex scandal in the office–particularly sa CR. The cute guy na.. haha. Si Tyrone nag papacute na naman sa isang agent. He told me Chuck reapplied daw and will be back soon (wow). I proved that some chuva are very inconsiderate coz I’m waiting for someone to get a call and they would just get my wireless avaya to monitor their agents (tanga diba?). Ang bad ko na ata. This is my blog anyway. My house my rules! Yung isang agent namukhang paa na lagi ako inisnaban for some reason. Opening shift agents are lucky coz they can go on VGH everyday. Si Sloane bading pa din–pro brusko na ngayon. Si goching nice pa din. Si ketchap umutot sa elevator eh dalawa lng kami (argh). I always forget what floor we are located. Ang daming swipe ek ek for me to enter the floor. Si sup same pa din. Flat screen ang PC’s mabagal naman. Nakakaloka. Homesick nko.

Sa PBCOM.. dami ko miss! Si Boy Lungkot. Si ate na nagtataray-tarayan sa pantry. Ang pagkahilo when I ride the elevator. My personalized workstation. The mentors isle. Yung mga secret lovers sa floor. Team mates ko! (waah). Si Mon na kagaguhan ko. Si Chelle and her chocolate mallows. Valero. Pinoy Henyo. Yung CR–ksi ndi nko takot eh. Si OM Johann na online for 24 hours. Yung tsismisan. Kulitan. Yung MRT. Raven. yung agent na pag kinoach ko nanalalaki butas ng ilong. Flash. The guy from dial. OC-ness. Refresh. Jing and the World History. Ipis. Nigger move. Dance steps ni Pao. My collage. Pulburon. Pressure. Chuva. Bubbler. Ravens.. save me naman…sana makapag-move on nko.

~Good day!~

       Things were getting out of control. I was not feeling myself this past few weeks but I’m still hangin’ by a thread. I just recently found out that I’m one of the few people who failed our training so I need to experience the so-called boring days again. Thank God I surpassed that! Anyway, God is really good coz he gave me time to think about things and made me realize that inspite of whatever happened, there’s still good things to come. I just really have to wait for it.

       We only consumed half of out schedule on the last day of our training. So I decided to visit Van at her place. I also meet up with Kel on the same place, although, he just came from school and has not sleep for the last 48 hours because of  his fashion show (Thanks again Kel!). They are one of the greatest people that I ever met my whole life. By simply talking to them it makes things half as bad! We had a good time! If I may call it, at this point of time, I think they are my Good Samaritans. They are my comfort zone. How lucky I am!

       God indeed has all the answers! We just really have to wait for them! :):):):):):):)
