Quality time

Finally, i saw Sophie (Scott and Eden's baby). She's so healthy and pretty. I met them over at G4 infront of Tater's. Eden and I talked seriously. We cleared out all the biases and confusions we had in the past. Tita (Eden's mom) asked me to go with her in Hongkong this march. Well, it's exciting! That's something i can explore.

I had great time with kermit. We watched Meet the Fockers and went to Music21 after. He was so crazy singing alternative songs like Unwell, Wherever you will go, etc. It was really fun. We went home by 1am.

"mon chanson inoubliable"

I need to get a life. I 'm at work for 12 hours due to work load. Also, I need to be at the office this coming Saturday and Sunday. Bad news is.. i'd be here alone.. yup! all by myself. But, that's what i'd get for being sick for couple of days. Kermit said we'd meet up by saturday after our shifts. I'm so excited. It's been awhile since we were together not to mention that he got mad because i mess up on his birthday.

I Didn't Know I Was Looking For Love

by Everything But The Girl
Album

I was alone thinking I was just fine,
I wasn't looking for anyone to be mine
I thought that love was just a fabrication,
A train that wouldn't stop at my station
Home, alone, that was my consignment,
Solitary, confinement
So when we met, I was getting around you,
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you.
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love
'Cuz there you stood, and I would,
Oh I wonder, could I say how I felt and not be misunderstood?
A thousand stars came into my system,
I never knew how much I have missed them.
Slap, on the lap, of my heart you landed,
I was coy, but you made me candid,
And now the planets circle around you,
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you.
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love
So we build from here with love the foundation
In the world of tears, one conselation
Now you're here and there's a full brass band
Playing in me like a wonderland
But if you left I would be two foot small
And every tear would be a waterfall
Soundless, boundless, I surround you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you.
I just didn't know.
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love
(repeat to the end)

I wanted to post this song since then but i just forgot to do so...

There's something in his eyes

There's something in it

I could not explain.

Staring and hiding as he run away

He looked back and caught me by surprise..

He smiled

Geez! Trapped!

Damn! Unspoken!

- my journal (May 22, 1995) -

Huh!!!?! It's happening all over again. Same feeling. Same adrenalin. Same thoughts. Trapped! Caught in between. But, I'm proud.. very proud! Though one thing's for sure, it will remain unspoken... Stupid bitch! *sigh*

Reminiscing and my curly hair

I supposed to meet up with Eden, Lyra, French and Scott (it's his birthday today) at Redbox. But, I was damn busy with my journal. I read my entries dated 1995... 

I was still in highschool that time. He was such a venom, yet my first love. All the pains and sufferings..I thought, I would end up with him. But, I guess it was never meant to me. I still feel the pain while reading my journal. How could that be? It's been years... We never spoke in years... There was no ending. I just flew away. No need for an explanation. He totally blew it. But how come here am I still thinking of him... Reminiscing what could have been, what might have been. Undying promises... Yet he gave me a tormenting surprise. I guess, nothing will ever beat the sweetness and bitterness of first love.

And reading put me into sleep... crying... and longing... seeking for endless answers. I never deserved to be hurt that way. Why did I have to experience such a traumatic and tormenting past? Still feel blessed knowing I'm still capable to love... But maybe not in the same way I ever was...

Just had my hair curled today. My Mom gave me a 3-in-1 hairstyler. And i really like it! It's a volumizer, straightener and curler in one. It's really cool! So, i don't have to buy each separately. It's very compact! I met up Aian, Jonex and Winnie over at Starbucks. I really couldn't get over my hair being curled so i kept on bragging it to the TQA. But Marcus said it's just wavy! Whatever! It just reminds of Kate Hudson's hair in Almost Famous. Dickie said I just imitate Tina Arena's foxy look. Duh.. people!

It's a very stressful day! I wasn't able to scan because i took over Pam's class on nesting. So, i render floorsupport for the full shift.

One hell of an asshole

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I really hate what i'm feeling right now. I want to blurt it out.. yet, i know it will add up insult to injury... You really can't please everybody. It keeps on coming back like a flash in a speed of light. I'm shaking like hell! What would i get if i give an agent a 0%? Will that give me an increase? Will that give promotion? As a matter of fact, that would affect my performance as well. As to how well i provide coaching or am i being effective? But then again, it hit me hard so fast and before i knew it, i'm caught off guard. 

Bullsh*t!!! I thought the issue was already resolved. It's been a month now. For all i know, that agent moved to VXI. However, she advised her TM that she's fuckin sick because of that evaluation i gave her. Yes, that stupid moron filed a Leave of Absence. See?! She's fuckin' crazy, dude! She was so damn brave to terminate that call and now she wanted to tell everybody it's my fault why she's suffering from quagmire... She's insisting that she never had released that fuckin' call. yeah ryt! Tell that to the marines. Everything was captured by NICE. It's her word against NICE!!! Apparently, i saw her father walking on by the corridors of 8th floor. I smiled at him. Yet, he gave me that freakin' look on his face. As if i killed her daughter? Goodness sake!!! They're possessed!!!

There you go... i just said it all... It ruined my day. I tried to be not affected but, it's still ruining my day. During my coaching session, one of my agents asked me if i'm ok. I asked him why. Then he said, it's because i'm not smiling. Almost messed up everything... coaching... positive scripting.. post shift meeting with my team.

I believe in the law of karma coz it kicks so fast... Better run, asshole!! I pity you!!!

my only consolation

I was kinda harassed today because of the work load. Yet, at the end of the day, it feels good to realize that i was able to accomplish my checklist. Getting a positive feedback from my Boss. Inspiring people to beat me... Sounds that i'm starting to be conceited again! hehehe.. 

I was expecting a call from kermit. But, it's been 3 days since the last time we talk. I guess, he's still mad. Just slept when we're watching Blade Trinity. Really fucked up on his birthday. But, i'm still waiting for his call.. and will still wait until his anger gone out. Hopefully.. the sooner.. the better..

My shining stars

Just did a crash course with Raiders, Buccaneers, Titans, Texans and Bears. It was a very tiring day. Discussed QA presentation. I'm telling yah, I already memorized each and every bullet of that power point. Our center isn't getting any calls since saturday. Mainbank Boise said it has something to do with the ivr coz it's updating. Oh well, now i know how it feels to be a Trainer. Though, it was fun... i'm telling yah.. i didn't seem to like it. =p

even if the day is so exhausted...

it's nice to know that i have my team that makes my day light...

Closure

I wasn't able to go to work last night. Bo, Maya and Kwinny bought lunch for us. They slept early than usual. I'm having a hard time sleeping because of the long hours of sleep last night.

I contemplated and then, I found myself incomplete. I miss BOSS. So, i grabbed my cellphone and sent a message to Eden and Scott saying how i wanted to end the gap between us. Afterall, it's been 3 months. I never expected a response from them. There were many occasions that I missed out. Maybe, i was really hurt.But, this message really paid it all. It touched my heart completely. "From the very start you've been special to our whole family... Nothing has changed. We still feel the same way for you. Let's not talk about the past. We have the rest of our lifes to enjoy our friendship." 

So, maybe i overeacted before.. I should've consulted either one of them if it was true. Yet, i didn't.. I detached myself and tried to hard to stay away from them... It was never an easy decision. They were my closest friends. I should've not judged them. Me and my prejudices. At least now, it's over...

Confessions

Things happen when you least expect it... I 'm shocked when i opened my friendster. 1 Friend Request! A request from "bruce wayne." (It's not his real name though.) But, i know who he is. How could i ever forget that guy? It's almost a year now when i met him. He's one of my mentees in my previous company. The friendship started when i broke up with ex on October of 2003. He'd always go to my post and asked for some tips for effective upselling. And the rest is history.

Though, there are questions that are uncertain:

Did it become "us?"

I've never conclude. Yet, he'd always say: "That's not the kindest way to treat your boyfriend!" But, it was never what it seemed.

Will we ever be friends? Only time will heal the wounds of betrayal. I found it easy to forgive. But, memories of past would always remain. Time will tell if i can forget.

Did i love him? Oh well, I thought so. Loving him used to be my greatest fear. And I was right, that hurts. I learned how to let go... he thought me what love really is. Perhaps, now i know... it was never him.

We went to Landmark to buy toiletries. I'm with Magne, Maya, Kwinny, Bo and Sarah. We had our lunch over KFC. Magne and I met Aian in Starbucks. We spent so much time together discussing our plans for QA department. At around 3pm, Aian left to meet up with Jonex. They were with Jen (she looks like laraFabrigas). We watched Ocean's 12. I love Brad Pitt.

unfinished business

I'm sick and tired finding the codes so i can add my playlist here in my blog. Finally, i gave up. I'll just let it go. I don't care anymore if i can't attach the codes in my blog. Nothing to lose! The hell i care! This is just a blog! Does it matter? My productivity suffered. (as if) I still have the most number of scans. The truth of the matter is i'm exceeding the goal. hehehehe. I'm having difficulties pulling out the agents for coaching. Resource center won't allow me to pull out anybody because of the call volume. So, i stayed in the office, waited for the agents to finish their calls and gave the feedback after their shift.

Requiem

I just watched Double Jeopardy by Ashley Judd. It made me cry how she longed for her son while she was in prison for 6 years. It made me even feel ill how the movie ended.

I couldn't help but to cry my heart out. I miss my baby Wacks. If only he's still here... i will never let him go. Fate brought me lots of pains for 3 years. Loneliness binds the soul... Deterioration of undying laughters... Maybe, i'm nothing compared to what i was then. Maybe, i'm useless compared to what i have dreamed before... Sometimes, you just don't know if luck is playing on you.

Almost fours years ago when she gave up her career, her family, her life. That P-test almost lost her sanity. She didn't know where to go, where should she run to, or where should she start? Some friends told her to carry on, some said she should get rid of "it". 

She made a not-so-easy-decision for a girl like her who had lots of dreams. Yes! She would keep him.. "There's already a life inside me that i should take care of!" Being pregnant was never easy. There were moments of instability, moments wherein you don't have the will to survive. Yet, she carried it on. He was always there for her. He never stopped caring, loving and understanding what she went thru.. Then, her "serenity" was born on the 19th of February of 2002. She cried when she saw him. Tears of joy that she could never explain. It's worth fighting for all this time. She felt certain happiness staring over his pretty face and could still remember his tiny hands touching hers. The scent of a baby that always made her day. He's her life... her dream... her all! 

But then, he's gone! After 9 days of being with him, God had took him from her. She wanted to die... yet, she anguished everything and tried to fight back... She almost lost her sanity...

Few years passed... yet, the girl still feel the pain. She still feels the same grief and mournful sorrows. She's still fighting. Though there are endless questions... Questions that were left unanswered...

Shuteye

For some strange reasons, I woke up past 6am. Only had almost 5hrs of sleep. I reached my bag and look for the vcds i borrowed from Kwinny and Bo. It was Swordfish by Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry. It didn't impress me when i finished the movie. Then i watched Something's Gotta Give. It's a feel-good movie of Dianne Keaton and oh shoot... just forgot the name of the actor. Sheez!! After that, i watched 8 episodes of Season 5 CSI Las Vegas. Though i already watched it when i bought it for my own Christmas present, i still enjoyed it. I'm into investigative stories and crime scenes uplifts my adrenalin except of course for blood. Eeew... My friend from highschool just called me up. They heard i'm in town and they wanted to drop by. So, i've been awake all day. I got my sleep at 5pm.

I'm home at last

I finally arrived home around 5pm. I didn't bring my laundry. It's a bright idea. I would not want to travel carrying a luggage of laundry. Duh?! Hell no!!! I found myself rushing to the fridge and get something to eat. Too bad coz i hafta have it cooked. Nobody's there but me. Obviously, I don't know how to cook. And that's my problem. 

So, I just settled with a slice of choc mousse and a soda. Flipped on my remote control, tried to find something to watch. Then, I pampered myself with sleep. It was 10pm when Mom knocked at my room. I woke up. She just asked me to eat and go to shower before i should go to sleep. Hello?! Mom, I just woke up. But then again it's Mom. Just found myself turning off the tv. Rushing through our dining. They just prepared my favorites... yeheeeeeeeeeyyy... I'm finally home..

Trapped

Supposedly, i'd go home to Sta. Rosa. Because Mom is freaking out on

her txt message the other day. She asked if i have no plans of going back home.

It's a very long story. To make the story short, Mom didn't know that i left home when they left for grandma's house. Going back, i planned to go home yesterday. But, I was trapped with a supcall. huwaaaahhh... I was left with no choice. I'm the only one left who could take that call. Windy said, it's just a simple billing concern. So, being a good samaritan, I accepted the call. Yet I wonder why Mom didn't bother texting me the whole day.

Just had a haircut with my roommates. It was Maya's idea. It's new year, so i guess, i should have a new look. Everybody agreed that we all go to the salon.

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Why the player isn't working on Bo's and Marcus blog. Sh*t!!! It's making me sick!

Addiction

I woke up late than usual. I've been suffering insomnia for the past few days. And, i don't know why is that so. Jill and I went to starbucks for coffee. We saw Winnie who's resigning after No call, no show. She was with her bf (Mike) and Pyke. I felt certain sadness knowing that we'll have less time to go out. 

I wanted to utter so many things. Yet i was left unspoken. I can't blame them for leaving. They deserve to move on and live a better life and career growth outside the company. I promised myself that I'll have less talks, so less mistakes for this year. Maybe Maya's right, i should know how to play the game. 

I'm starting to get so addicted with the online quizzes. Here are the results:

My dost...

This day is about to end. Couldn't think of anything to write. Sometimes it really happens. You wanted to say so much but you're running out of words. That's what i'm feeling right now. I guess I'm just too overwhelmed. Everything's happening in a proper order and timing. Let me breathe first...

Aryt! Good thing that I came at the office at 10pm (though my shift starts at 12am). I met the deadline for the Agent's Developmental Report. I gave it to all the Ops. Sup. that I'm handling. I did 15 scans (10's our daily goal). So, I still had time to relax. I'm with Raj, Jill & Magne during our 1hr break. It's nice to know we have the same wave length. There's an incident happened with Raj that made us laugh our visceras out. We told ourselves: "NO SARCASM ALLOWED." Raj & I share the same New Year's Resolution: "I'll be less rude for the year." (hehehehe). Well, my stay with ACS becomes so light whenever they're around. We just don't talk about boys or some crap. Indeed, we talk about life. We can just talk about anything and everything under the sun. I stayed in the office until 10pm because I had to do coaching/feedback. Kwinny (my dormmate) and I went home at around 10:30am.

I'm surprised when i got some sort of questionnaires on my email. So, i followed the link. I decided to post it here...

What 2004 Hit Song Are You?

I Miss You by Blink 182

"The unsuspecting victimOf darkness in the valleyWe can live like Jack and Sally if we wantWhere you can always find me" You grew up a lot in 2004. And it was mostly a very good thing.

After shock!

He was trying to reach me that night of 12/31. He'd wanted to fetch me up at my apartment. And might as well celebrate with them as they welcome new year. But, I was down dead sleeping. I remember that i was crying the whole day because I thought I'd be alone. He said that they might be back on the 1st. So, I wasn't expecting anything. I called him when i finally read his message at around 12:30am. But unfortunately, I couldn't get through. Some sort of Network busy. To make it short, i wasn't able to spent time with his family.

But then again, the year started out pretty well. At last, I had quality time with him. We just hang out at Power Plant Mall. Since it's Metro Manila Film Fest, we watched Spirit of the Glass. It's his choice. He's into horror movies. Oh God! I miss kermit! It's really mixed emotions. Being with someone you really love is far better than heaven...

There are moments of sadness, triumphs, challenges, love and hatred last 2004:

• It still pains me so much considering that my son could've been 2 years old. I tried so hard to accept that it's his 2nd death anniversary. I still cried. Only God knows when will i recover from such distress...
• I met new friends from #kolehiyo Jay-An, Wah, Budji, Anne, Jhay, etc.
• We reconciled after 7 months of painful and traumatic separation.
• I resigned in my previous company. I left my comfort zone. My friends... my so-called family! I really thought I could never get thru..
• I lost some of my friends... or should i say, it was the end of one good friendship! Never really imagined, it would end that way. Better yet, instead keeping the pain.
• Our boutique was robbed 3 times last year. My Mom & Dad recovered the loses before the end of the year. Dad, Ferdie & Pepper joined PREX with Mom's influence.
• It's already a year when Argel (Rochele's bf) left for Japan. It reminded me how she hides the sadness in her eyes.
• Scott & Eden got married. And the latter bore a pretty baby girl.
• I was able to meet new friends here in my new company like Raj, Aian, Magne, Dickie, Jill, Pam, Marbee, Toni, Lui, Jun, Homey, Marcus, Gerum, Bo, Kwinny, Sara, etc. who made me realize that life's still worthwhile.
• I finally had my break. Something that I dreamed of, and something that i really wanted to become... So, Icey started to build dreams again... Started to trust... and the journey began...

Although, the year started favorable on my part. I still look forward to a brighter one ahead...

I'll do my best to work on my New Year's Resolution. That's a sure thing! (hopefully!) harharhar!!!

My friend Dickie

This is my friend Dickie... He's one really great guy. Like Aian, he's also insisting me to post our pic here in blogspot. So, there you go... Hope he'll like this. I'd really love to add his solo pic inside the Training room 3 over Citibank. But, i'm so sure that he'll be mad at me. So, i decided to post this pic taken at the lounge area. We were waiting for our TQA Meeting. Well, infairness to Dickie. He's good at it! He's really goodlooking. One thing that could remind me of him would be Tina Arena. Surely! He truly loves her. Or should i say.. He adores her! Infact, her album is playing over & over again here at Allied Bank. I could almost memorize her songs. "Wouldn't you know it if I've lost my courage. Isn't that funny, me lost for words..."

So much about Dickie... Just finished fixing my blog. You'll surely like its new look! After spending like 4hrs. I finally got the codes. I got the skins from Xanga which is my old blog. I really like this better. Though, there are still bugs. Yet, i'm working on it! At least, it's a good start! I admit! Hell no.. i'm not good at html!
