Since i was in high school, i’ve always been with the cheering squad. Well, since i didn’t play any sports (coz i don’t know one), joing the squad’s been my resort to earning additional points for the school year.

Anyway, when i went to college (in XU), i did join the Aggie cheering squad (2nd yr - 4th yr). While i was proud that i was one of those representing the college during the intramurals — shaking my booty, kicking some asses on the "floor" — it’s just that i hate the way things were and still does hate some. Aggie cheering squad’s been tagged as always "kulelat" during the competition. A friend of mine told me, "unsa mn sad na ang Aggies oi, pambaryo kaau ang style." And indeed, inasmuch as i want to defend the squad, i just can’t because of the very fact that we do really suck at it. (But to be fair to some of them, we used to hit the 3rd spot before, next to Commerce and Arts/Educ).

Unfortunately, the last time i saw them perform (2005), i jz didn’t like it all the more. Ambot ba jud ngano mani ang Aggies na way klaro basta cheering… i’d say there’s lots of talented dancers from the college, yet i don’t exactly know why they don’t seem to give a damn helping out the squad. Grrr…oh well, like my frustrations can do something about it…yeah, right…

M a g i s ! Aiming for excellence… that’s what were supposed to be known for, not as some mediocre "murag taga-baryo-slash-folk dance" squad!!! Could we, for once, prove to them that we are better than that?! Guys, it’s not just about being above all the others… at the very least, it’s about unity… it’s about team effort… it’s about Aggie spirit…

Break a leg, will you?!

Umm… I hv jz seen yesterday the cheerdance of the School of Business Management (formerly the College of Commerce). Oh my, THEY’RE SO GREAT!!! You should/must watch it via Youtube.com. My bad, i wasn’t able to watch it live coz i’m here in Cebu. It’s really one of those great things i missed since i left school last March 2005.

"Ako ang katapat mo!"

Sounds familiar ryt? Although this is kinda late for me to cover, anyway, late is better than later.hehehe…yup!it’s eric morrales’ challenge to PacMan. Ain’t that fun with boxing, although i used to watch it sometimes or some wrestling shows. but Pacquiao’s great record got me glued to the tube along with the whole sambayanang Pilipinas. ryt after his bout with El Terrible, once again i feel so proud of my being a Filipino. kaberks ko si Manny! hehehe…the previous matches before Pacman and Morrales were lousy that why i didn’t bother watching those. i took a nap which was interrupted with my housemate’s irritating shouting as if he did not know someone’s sleeping.but then when i went out the room to see what the noise was all about…well, i jz grabbed another monobloc chair and also started doing the same irritating noise…i couldn’t help it. darn! PacMan’s been beating Morrales on the ring. The match only lasted til the 3rd round. while i’d say it’s worth the time, sayang nga lng kc ambilis natapos. no thrill. hehehe…i’m so proud of Manny and Moralles also. they both showed great sportsmanship. i salute them both! though El Terrible lost the fight, it’s his attitude that i’m more impressed of. and to Manny, like all Pinoys said, Mabuhay ka bai! once again u proved to the world that Filipinos are worth fighting for.

Happy Feet!!!

i saw the movie with my housemates. the penguins are so cute. grrr…gana kaau kumut-kumuton. hehehe…i recommend for all of those who hvnt watched the movie yet to watch it. u won’t regret it (umm… well, up to u to qualify urself if u like watching cartoons).

the morale of the story is that no matter how different u r, ur still someone special in this world…even if ur a penguin. hehehe…basta nice au ang Happy Feet. i rmbr those times when i used to watch movies alone. tan-aw Chicken Little dn ng-emote sa sinehan.most of those who watched the movie were kids along with their parents.huhuhu…i miss those times.

baby, i love u <hug si bb tyt>

The "Urban Thinker"… why the title? Well, i’ve thought about making an entry about this like long before…uhmm…since i met Mama Jen…twas a long, long story…but to cut it short, well, Mama Jen (my supervisor in my previous work) showed me her husband’s sculpture… it has an "URban Thinker" caption.

The sculpture showed a man sitting on the toilet bowl. he was actually "thinking" of…errr…something. well, unfortunately, twas his only spare time to think about himself and what he wanted to do with his life. too busy dealing with some other things perhaps that he wasn’t able to get a life. by saying that i meant i pity him. umm…(do i? i guess…i dunno…i don’t even think i care…but somehow, may be i do…jz "thinking" aloud)

Alright…why Urban Thinker? well, jz a few minutes ago, i went outside the training room & went to the restroom…while inside the cubicle, i was thinking if i’m like that of the sculpture. well, i don’t think i am coz i got lots of time to think about myself and … of others. well, my definition of others varies from time to time. hehehe…

whenever i get back from work, i jz go to the canteen and have my "dinner" (though technically it’s still a breakfast… bogus…erase…whatever you call it). and then enter our "house"…and eventually sleep or ummm…watch TV or DVD/s… my life’s boring yah know.

Jz like that. very routinary. got lots of time to think about just anything (non-sense to some thing with sense).i’m tired.sometimes i try reading a book or a novel jz so i could do somthing else aside from "magtanga," watch movies/shows and/or sleep.

idle mind is the root cause of evil. (ehem! pardon me. can’t remmber exactly the quotation but it goes that way i guess).walay lingaw.

may pa before stay ko cdo, i get to find some time to go swimming with my officemates, and go finding a "night life" very seldom though.inom ginagmay.hehehe…right now, all i can say is that my life’s boring than boring. SUMOOOOO…exactly the right term.but i guess that’s my way of enjoying my life, taking advantage of what i got now.

but i get to dream soemthing new, something original, something with sense soemtimes.geee…the senti me.bow.

Question: Does it happen to u like u jz wanna be alone and u aint feel like talking to anybody? coz ryt now, i dont feel like talking to anyone.i dont wanna talk to them coz i know they wont really listen.i’m better off talking to myself than to them.they wont understand my point.i’m sorry. i’d like to apologize for this mean behavior.that’s all, i dont wanna talk to you, or you, or you…

ey guys..i’m here again inside the training room…u myt think i got an LOI to becoming a trainer… well, ur definitely WRONG!!!

eTelecare is changing sooo fast… in less than 3 months since i got hired, i’ve already been into 3 programs. and now’s my 3rd actualluy. from AOL Sales -> Vonage Inbound (wherein we only lasted for 2 weeks on the floor) ->now i’m undergoing yet another training for AOL MRM/Customer Service.

well, i can say that this is a blessing in disguise (though i’m a bit tired of always undergoing training) coz i really sucked in my calls at Vonage. Darn! twas supposed to be Inbound calls, just a little bit of pushing customers to buy the product, then iL be good to go. but unfortunately, it seemed that they’re harder to deal with considering the metrics (CONVERSION rate=sales/actual calls). twas really such a pain in the ass. unlike in Outbound, i can receive as many calls as u think of (say 200 calls, most probably).well, been dealing also with irrate customers 25% of the time, but i was able to perform fair enough in there…and given more time, i could have been better at it.hehehe…xure na…

oh well, like they said being a call center rep/agent requires GREAT flexibility. fine… watever…ganun talaga ang buhay chuva-ek-ek-ever…

gudluck na lng sa ako and God bless. hoping to do good for my new program again… been saying this for many times now

Whew! jz had our certification…twas still a pain in the ass..though a little bit easier than the first time I had one with Ron (our trainer before)… gee, i had headache + my eyes hurting again..darn! i guess i need a pair of eyeglasses already.. you know what, sometimes, i think bad eyesight’s (ummm…i mean yah know… masakit ang mata)a hereditary trait… hehehe… twas stupid… just thinking about it since my mother’s like that also, then add me up to that.. that makes it "hereditary."

Oh well, i haven’t had the final "yes" from our trainer yet… but at least i think i got an affirmative response from him.

Oh by way, i’m not talking bout AOL anymore… twas the first program/account i was working with at eTel… unfortunately, twas pulled out "due to some business remodeling reasons"… whatever…

So to cut it short, I’m trying to make my way to joining the Vonage pipz… still crossing my fingers on it… but i know i’ll do good in it. Just have to believe in myself that i can. [charot!]

hehehe… chege…have to get back to work and do the "Thank you for calling Vonage" script…i miss my AOL. anyway, life must go on… ganito talaga ang mga gwafa, palaging isinasalang sa maraming kachuvahan sa life (bakakon ka, liar, evil pa jud…) hehehe…bow…

gtg…
