May Masabi Lang

Mahigit isang buwan na since I transferred to Dell...Andaming nagulat na mga officemate ko sa APAC nung nag-resign ako. I didn't give them any hint na may plano akong lumipat. In fact, nung umalis ako, CQA apprentice na ako at member na ako ng escalation team. But the thing is, may mga bagay na mas importante kesa dun.

For my part, I have to think about my siblings who depend on me. Graduate na si Sasak ng high school, Budie will be college sophomore come June. Ambilis ng panahon. Minsan nga, akala ko mga grade school students pa rin sila. Hindi ko na nga sila mapalo (hihihi) kasi mas malalaki pa sila saken. Although, they developed a bad habit of kissing and hugging me whenever I come home. Hindi ko gusto yun dahil ang feeling ko, ginagawa lang nila yun para utuin ako...

Pero wala na atang makakauto saken the way Yuki does. That little man could get me to do anything he wants! And I easily give in whenever he requests something from me...and to think na hindi pa sya nakakapag-salita nun, ha? He just convey what he wants thru hand signals...Feeling ko, delikado ako lalo pag natuto na sya magsalita (heaven forbid!)

Anything Goes

Got this message from an officemate and it made me think...

Call Center Agent's Top 10 Disease
  1. Lung Cancer (habitual smoking) - never got that habit eversince, thank God!
  2. Bone Fracture (long hours of sitting) - guilty...in fact, I had six sessions with a PT last December because of it.
  3. Jaw Lock (excessive talking) - nah...CCA's are the most talkative people. we talk all night and after shift, we usually have breakfast and talk pa rin...
  4. Cataract (exposure to PC radiation) - dati ng malabo ang mata ko...
  5. Stress (damn those irate callers!) - hmp! now that is really stressful. I'm currently a member of the escalation team and it's not something that I enjoy doing...
  6. Impotency (lack of sex) - ummmm.....
  7. Fatigue (short sleep) - how can you ever have a good rest with the sun shining thru the windows?
  8. Asthma (rushing your way coz you might get late) - minsan lang naman ako ma-late...
  9. Constipation (five minutes lunch) - thirty minutes naman ang lunch namin! I get to enjoy a full hour lunch...or should I say breakfast coz it's 6am-7am?
  10. Forgetfulness (what day is today?) - what word is that?

It is often spur-of-the-moment decisions, sometimes made by others, that can change our whole lives. - from the novel Sons of Fortune by Jeffrey Archer

Observations of an MRT Commuter

Ang Pinoy basta may pagkakataon, mas pipiliin ang makalamang...kahit sa pagbili ng swipe card, makikipag-unahan.

Mas grabe makipagsiksikan (at makipag-tulakan) ang mga babae kesa sa mga lalaki.
Lugi ka pag mas maliit ka (gaya ko) kasi maaamoy mo lahat...at dahil sa pambabaeng coach ako sumasakay, naaalibadbaran ako sa mga buhok ng mga babaeng lumilipad sa mukha ko. Hindi ba sila marunong magtali?!

Mas masarap sumakay sa MRT tuwing alas-sais ng umaga o pagpatak ng alas-nueve y medya ng gabi...kasi wala ng masyadong tao at hindi na rin siksikan...kaya nagpalipat ako ng mas late na shift.

Hi-tech na rin ang mga commuters. Hindi na sila natatakot na ipakita ang headset ng mga MP3 players nila o cell phone kaya. Hindi ka in pag walang nakapasak na headset sa tenga mo.

Eto naman, alang relevance sa article. Pakita ko lang yung favorite nephew ko, hanep kasi sa posing e. Daig ako...
