Pray, Celebrate and remember!

I try not to think of all saint’s/souls day (also know as Halloween) as a time to be scared, a time to dress up like a witch, a goblin maybe or something else. I try to think of it as a day to remember our love one’s who had gone ahead and went into the light. Although yes! I want to celebrate this day with booze, clubbing and having a great time. But let us not also forget to visit them, pray for them or even at least clean their final resting place.

Pray, Celebrate and remember!

Moleskine Entry: Comfort Zone....

Date: 10/26/2008

I will be traveling to manila tomorrow!for 3 days!
Talking about leaving my comfort zone! Ill be going to a city really am not fond off (Traffic, pollutions, crimes etc.). Well maybe just curious, cause I hear a lot about this city. They have exciting places to go through, amazing choices for night life! And a whole lot more…
It’s stepping out of my comfort zone for the reasons, I am going there all alone, staying at a hotel alone, and going to work alone. Alone! Alone! Alone! No familiar faces, no close friends just acquaintances.
I will be meeting up with some manila supervisors that I normally communicate either by email or by phone. WOW! Plus my schedule is super super early! I have to be at work at 6:30 pm!
Well I am their for a business trip, and not for leisure so might as well accept that fact.
This will be a big step for me since I am the types that really do not travel into unfamiliar places alone!
I usually have a friend or pooh with me. In a way this is a test for me if I am really ready to get out of the comfort bubble I built to be indestructible. If I am ready to face the world outside my little paradise, if I survived this with flying colors then that means I am really ready to get out and move on!

Thank you !

THANK YOU TEAM!!!!!!!!!

For a Splendid and Earth Shattering performance last QUARTER!

Hats off to you guys!!!

And for making me the Top supervisor of the Quarter!

Things that i have learned at work

In my 3 years working in an outsourcing company, there are a couple of thing that I have learned;

Perfect Project
The truth is, there is no such thing as a perfect project. Too many people spend too much time trying to perfect something before they actually do. Instead of waiting for perfection, run with what you’ve got, and fix it as you go.

Take Charge

Be your own worst critic; don’t wait for your boss to be like that it isn’t pretty. When things go wrong it’s tempting to shift the blame. Don’t!
Accept responsibility. People will appreciate it, including your boss and at the same time you will find out what you’re capable of.


One on One/Coaching
If you want to be interesting, be interested. During a group discussion or one on one coaching, it is better to listen carefully to what you’re agents are saying rather than show off your own brilliance.
In that way they will be interested in you without you saying a word.

Playing Safe

Funny how two people meet...Eye contact…hi and hello…
Get contact numbers…
Exchange quotes and messages,
Even dropping calls…

Asking how the day was,
Giving you a lift, talking till dawn
Having meals together ….

Seems perfect, right?

But try to look deeper; was there a time they talked about how they feel for each other?
Not at all, right?
Because a set up like this, is all about PLAYING SAFE!

Post Script: This is dedicated to all my friends who went throught this phase!

Are you Happy?

And I thought my entry was forgotten, Ladies and Gentlemen here is the entry that I submitted to 1n6words.

Are you Happy? I am now!

Cyber Game of Love

As I was strolling today in SM city cebu with pooh, we were just walking, talking and having a good time (quality time).

We went to the top floor and try to see what movies would interest us; we really do not have plans yet since I work at 5 pm (Darn!). I came across this movie entitled SEB, sounds very interesting and well we can both relate because we practically live also in cyberspace (friendster, my space, face book etc.)

SEB

(Cyber game of love)

Really caught my attention, it does make sense. We all have dark secrets, secrets we do not tell even our closest friends and we find ways to vent it out. Cyberspace is usually the place we go through to escape.

I haven’t watched it yet but I will be finding a way to put that on my schedule. Here is to hoping!

I am also Happy that SM well management, did play this movie. As far as I remember they really stick to Family Oriented Films. I even remembered before that they did not play “Broke Back Mountain” and “the Da Vinci Code”. I have nothing against SM management because they do have the right to filter whatever they want to play on their CINEMAS. I am just happy that they opened up to this kind of Art film! And hopefully more will come.

I hope this will not be the last time they will show an Indie Films that depict the current scenario’s of the modern Filipino/Filipina.

I hope that they didn’t just do it because the current rending is moving towards independent film makers.

I hope that if they do decide to become family oriented again, they will not only focus on the good side. But more often than not it is also good that we get a good dose of the dark side of the modern Philippines, It will and should keep us grounded.

I hope…

PORK CHOP Thursday

(Yona, J, Sher and Jabbered onion)
What do you know! they are blogger's too..

Every Thursday night at around 1:00 am (I know what your thinking! It’s already Friday morning, but in a call center environment we base everything on a Production date! So it’s still technically Thursday), me and the girls would go out and eat Pork Chop with herb sauce in Brown Cup.

It’s one of our guilty pleasures, which happen once a week!

It just so happened that on particular day all our schedule co-inside (yepey!).

I just don’t consider this as a Lunch with the girls, but as a time for us to catch up!

Bonding moments and share opinions and advises.

I am looking forward to our pork chop Thursday’s girls!

Reproductive Health Bill 5043 (Be Aware)

Dear Bloggers/Friends,

Today, I got an email from a good friend about regarding an online petition and reproductive health bill.
Personally I am a strong believer on this bill and as such I want to spread the news. Please take time to browse/read through the content of the letter and if you agree to this then sign on the petition.
Overpopulation results in poverty and this is something that we need to take seriously, looking at those homeless children and people who cannot even have a descent meal really breaks my heart.
Please let us support this!

Thanks,
Dhonpal.blogspot.com

Currently there is 4719 signatures for this Bill.
