Another kamalasan in the making..

I just bought the memory card for the Olympus FE-115 that Kuya gave me. It costs half an arm and a leg. I hope it will work because when I tried to insert the xd card at home, the camera won't turn on. I'm just seeing blinking LED lights. Now, I'm recharging my battery. I hope this will resolve the problem. I also bought another rechargeable battery, an imitation of Sony. I also do hope that one will work too. I'm just trying because I can't afford the 300 pesos worth of rechargeable battery. That one was only 80 pesos though. So I gave it a try. Let's see what happens.

2 days more and I'm going back to my home. I'm going back without enough money. *sigh*

Way to go..

July 28, 2009

I just received a 100% Miami QA score. It's my first time. It feels great! But I think my job is not that worth it though. I just love the schedule of my current job. The compensation sucks, big time. I'm receiving half of what I'm receiving on my previous job.

Online!

2 days off at last! I've waited 6 weeks for this! Cool!

July 18,2009

We went at Cebu Midtown Hotel to attend the orientation for the Herbalife thingy. I thought this is a good part time opportunity. Many people who succeeded in this business attest to their experience and the income they received for the last 90 days. They've traveled from different countries attending trainings and seminars. I was amazed that somebody was already earning 1.2 million pesos for the past 90 days doing this business. Well, this business really needs lots of hardwork, contacts and confidence, which I think I lack. Anyway, this event gave me an overview on what can I get if I decided to become a member. I think the product is effective, the problem is that it is so expensive. I really want to get bigger, you know, I'm tired of being skinny. Lols. But I don't have enough money at this time so I'll just consider this is in the near future.

Afterwards, a very silly and petty incident happened. We're about to go home - me, Cristine, Tonette and his bf Roy. We then decided to eat at Alberto's Pizza so we crossed the road to get there. While crossing the road, Tonette's been holding my arm and his bf thought that he has been taken for granted. Duh? He fretted for it in a way that he doesn’t talk with us and it’s very obvious he’s not enjoying our company. He got jealous because of it?! I really don’t want to talk about this, this is very silly. I just thought I’d mention it. Hahaha. The point is, we’re no longer kids. We’re no longer teenagers. We’re no longer minors. We’re of the right age. I just thought we should be kinda matured about this thing. I presume he knew that we’ve been living in the same house for more than 2 years already and we’re like brothers and sisters. And there’s really nothing to be jealous about. Very childish for a man that looks like 30 years old. Hahahaha. It’s alright to get jealous, but with the right reason and the right person. I think he should know Tonette more before judging her and before acting like that. It’s not healthy for a relationship.

Change topic. I’m really enjoying my eyeglasses. It’s so cool. Hahaha.

Homecoming soon

July 17,2009

I finally bought a ticket for my homecoming this July 31. My parents sent me 3000 pesos to cover up for those expenses. The total cost of my ticket was around 2400 pesos. My day off is supposed to be Aug 1 - 4 EST which means that I still need to report on August 1. Well, I really need to be there before the wedding which is on the same date so I'll be absent by that time.

After buying the ticket, I went straight ahead to an optical shop to get my eyeglasses done. I spent 1400 for it. Good thing I received a performance bonus last July 15. I liked my new glasses. I really wanted to have one. Dream come true. :D

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Now Showing!

July 16, 2009

The long wait is over. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is showing today! I'm supposed to watch the movie with my former co-employee at Etelecare but she didn't make it because she was sick, so I watched the movie by myself. I chose E-mall cinema over SM City Cebu because I knew that a lot of people and Harry Potter fans would watch the movie. And I guess I'm correct, and on top of it, you can only view the movie once to accommodate the other people who will watch the movie as well. My classmate Cristine and her high school classmates who are my friend as well also followed and watched the movie with me.

The movie was great. It is! Though it was not that action-packed as I expected, I liked everything about the movie. I've just finished reading the e-book yesterday and that really helped me to understand the movie better. Daniel Radcliffe never failed to give the best portrayal of Harry Potter. Ron, Hermione and Lavender Brown's love triangle made me laugh. They're awesome. Bellatrix Lestrange is really getting into my nerves and I commend the actress who portrayed her, she's so remarkable and very convincing. All the characters are great. I'm just sad, Dumbledore passed away. I'm looking forward to watching the next installment which is the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I have still 2 movies to look forward to since the last book will be divided into 2 movies.

July 15, 2009

At last. I've finished reading the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince e-book. The 6th book is more about the past of Voldemort and how he became the Dark Lord he is. Dumbledore thought that it's right that Harry Potter knows the beginning and who's Tom Riddle before he became Lord Voldemort. The new character, Horace Slughorn also played a vital part in the book because he had the memory when the young Tom Riddle asked him about Horcruxes and this was the task Dumbledore asked Harry to find out and that is to get this memory from Horace Slughorn and Harry succeeded. The Half-blood prince, the owner of the potions book with spells and some potion making techniques, is no other than Severus Snape. I hope the battle in the Astronomy tower will be shown in the movie because that's the only part in the book where the good characters fought with the Death Eaters. I'm excited for tomorrow!

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Trailer

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood prince is fast approaching. Can't wait to watch it tomorrow. Right now, I'm still reading the ebook and 200 more pages to go and I'm done.

Here's the main trailer of the sixth installment of Harry Potter:

Main Trailer

July 12, 2009

I woke up at 2 am with high hopes that I would feel better and be ready to go to work. I'm wrong. Yes, I can say I triumphed over my fever and headache, but my world was slightly spinning and one wrong move could result to a head with a faucet of blood. And I decided to surrender the legacy of my egos that we've protected for 8 long years - and that is not to make an absence. This is the first time that I've been absent to work. Well, I'm sick. I remembered that although I've been tardy a couple of times at Etelecare, I've never been absent even I'm not feeling good. I still reported to work even I'm dizzy or when I knew that I got fever. I even collapsed one time while I'm at work. This time it's different. I did not feel well for the past 3 days. Until yesterday when my fever got worse. Headache's been wrecking my brain and my cough's been annoying me especially while I'm taking calls. And my guess was correct. All I need was enough rest and sleep which I lacked the past 3 days. Now I'm back to my normal self once again. Now I need a medical certificate to prove that I'm not fit to work this day. I went to SM almost 7 PM and unfortunately the doctor was already out and there goes my medical certificate. After meeting up with my boardmates/friends, I went straight ahead at Sacred Heart Hospital which is closed - literally. The doors are locked and I'm wondering about that because I thought that's a hospital and they shouldn't close. Anyway, I'll just report without a medical certificate.

July 11, 2009

2 days straight and I'm not getting enough sleep. I know I got fever and it became worse as time goes by. Still, I'm at my workstation, taking calls. My headache was aching and I'm feeling hot. I wanted to cough but I can't while I'm on a call.. The shift ended and I had the feeling that anytime I'm gonna collapse. I still waited for our post shift meeting to be finished because I have a monitoring. The good thing about the meeting, for the first time, I received a good word from our QA. Those words kept on echoing in my ears. LOLS. He said that I was good and I speak like John Andrews. Who the heck was John Andrews? I have no idea, but I thinks he's a good TSR otherwise, our QA won't compare me to him, right? Though I was commended, I still got one penalization and that is interruption. One simple yes that I said which interrupted the other person in the line took my 10 points away giving me only 90 percent. *Sigh*. I almost got 100. Anyway, I can't think of anything else but to get to bed and take a good rest.

My condition got worse. Although my temperature went down from the time I took up paracetamol, after four hours I felt my fever persisted and my temperature could make a hard boiled egg. My headache's like a nail being hammered in my head... Rest.. Rest.. Rest..

July 10, 2009

This was a day to remember. I was able to speak with my best mate Kuya Jayson once again after almost 3 months. First he just send an SMS and asked me if I had extra money to spare just to suffice the fee for his brother's employment. Unfortunately I don't have money at the moment because I only got 4000php for my salary. Suddenly, he just called his cousin and asked me about the same thing. The next conversation has been so nostalgic. I can feel the loneliness in his voice. I can feel how much he misses this place..us..

I can't forget what he asked me. "Who is the best Kuya?". Who else? I can never think of any big brother than my freakin' best friend. I can feel how much enlightenment and empowerment he needs from us, his friends, and the people who never forget him. I know he's bursting in tears that time. I've for so long to talk with him like this. It is very seldom that we talk seriously about what's going on with our lives. I'm glad that the friendship that I treasured so much is still standing strong amidst the storm and earthquakes we've been through. I believe that's what real friendship is. It's meant to last longer and stronger than it seems. Flashbacks then came running in my mind like a fast current of water that doesn't where to go. Some memories made me laugh. Those petty fights, which I made a big deal. I just realized, how over reacting, how childish I've been and how selfish I've been to my friend (and I know I really am). Well, those funny memories won't surely fade. As what he said to me, we have still grown up in the end. Yes we are, we did, and we will.

Moments later after the dinner at Hideout Grill.. Payback time? We went to the former boarding house of Kuya's Ex, yes ex - as in EXPIRED GOLD DIGGER FREAKIN' BITCH GIRLFRIEND. She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named ruined the life of my best friend and almost ruin our friendship. Anyway, I don't want to talk it moreover this time. It makes my temperature reach the boiling point. As expected, she was not there but her cousin who shares the same cursed name was. She's so pathetic. She was like a poor little girl wandering in Afghanistan and being bombarded by missiles. She took all the words that were supposed to be thrown for that freakin' She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. After all those missiles and rockets and bombs, the explosion just won us Kuya's sofa bed. A nifty prize it is. There's still a sequel so we'll watch out for it.

This was my first time to participate the Altador Cup and unfortunately, I've got lots of things to deal with that's why I was not able to spare more time for this. Anyway, the new avatar, trophy and theme areworthy though.

July 7, 2009

It's been a good day for me should I say. My calls are good. I think the only irate caller I had was my first call. He's reactivating his phone but since the phone's status was past due, we need to send him a sim card. Since his phone is a business phone, he can't wait for 3-5 days for the sim card. There's nothing I can do about it though. That's how the process works. Good thing, all the following calls are manageable. I was in the mood and it paid off. I got a 98% Miami score. 2% more and I should've get the hundred. I lost the 2% because I lack enthusiasm which is not true. Anyway, I know my voice sounds like that and I'm really working on it.

It's my day off. I'll do a lot of things later. Internet surfing, downloading, streaming, blogging and all that stuff. I guess my neopets and Ragnarok addiction has been compromised. I even don't open my BOTS. I'll just continue it someday, when I hook up an internet connection in my own computer. Soon..

July 5, 2009

I just received a message from my family that my sister will be married this coming August. I was kinda surprised because I'm not ready yet for that. I once told my sister that I'll be the one who will answer her wedding cake. But because of my successive unfortunate events, I failed to save money for that. I have only 2 to 3 payrolls before that big event. I don't think that I will be able to save enough money for that, and I have to save also for my fare. I still have lots of things that I need to buy. Harry Potter will be shown next next week. How can I save?

Not again...

July 6, 2009

Not a good day for me... I got late.. Damn it. I'm getting too complacent once again and I hate it. I hope I'd change. I hate myself for being like this. I know it's not good. I'm getting impatient with my calls. I don't know. I just don't feel being a very patient representative. Anyway, I know I'll get over with this.

Good thing, I got a 65% score in my June scorecard. 85% is the passing score and though I failed, I will still get performance bonus. I'll just continue to follow the QA guidelines for me to avoid penalization. My goal is to get more than 92% for my Miami QA score because I only got 88% for June.

July Goals

New month again.. It was just like yesterday when I was thinking what I would like to achieve in the month of June. And obviously, I failed to make a blog entry for that. Everything happened so fast. This July, I hope most of the things in me would change. Though June's been a good month for me, moving forward, I would like to make the succeeding months better. For my neopets, I'm so sorry that I don't have enough time for it right now. I wasn't able to help the Krawk team in the Altador Cup and I haven't obtained the avatar. Anyway, I know that Krawk Island team won this year's Altador cup.
