…’cos i’m bored and fucked up.
November 7, 2008
This is Drei. Bored and fucked up today. And I don’t know why. Maybe because I’m missing two persons in my life. Two very important persons. Too bad I can’t mention their real names here. People might hunt ‘em. No, they’re not monsters. They’re just special to me. So I’ll just use special nicknames. First person is… Meezo [pretty special nickname, huh?] Well, Meezo is my !@#$%^ god dammit i miss my meezo!!!
*changed my mind. let’s change the topic. lets not talk about ‘em anymore. sorry. ooh, and just to give you a heads up, second’s person’s nickname is Barguest. heh.*
Right now, I’m at work. It’s now 6:10AM [I’m a nursing student-turned-callcenter-agent. DUH?!] My station is really messy but I like it that way. Makes me feel like I’m not working at all. My mom actually hugged me when she saw me wearing my school uniform. With eyes a bit teary, she said, “Anak, miss mo na mag aral no?” I paused, took a deep breath, then replied, “Yeah, Ma. Miss ko na po mag-aral…”
And to give you an idea on how much I missed school and stuff, here’s another snapshot that I took a week ago. NOTE: Don’t laugh. Please. LOL. Another thing that I missed so much is that when you’re in a hospital, esp in Emergency Room, things should be done perfectly. No second thoughts. Then bigla mo na lang maririnig, “Tangina naman! Bawal maglaro dito. Nasa ER tayo wala sa playground!” Hehe.

Another Day
September 30, 2008
…and its another day for me. Another boring day where there’s nothing to do but to recieve incoming calls from our “beloved” and “valued” Sprint customers. Some will curse you. Others will give commendations. And some, well let’s say that they’re calling for absolutely NOTHING.
Shift started at 2:00AM [as usual, but starting October 6, 2008 til Novemver 2, 2008, shift will start from 4:00AM til 1:00PM. So its one bullshit schedule] Anyway, everyday is like a normal day here in E-Telecare. You greet your friends, you go out and smoke, do “the trick” to avoid calls, and laugh our asses out for some reason. (more…)
3 THINGS
September 27, 2008May mga bagay talaga na mahirap iwasan. Yung tipong masama sayo. Pero masarap. Sabi nga nila, masarap ang bawal. So here’s my top 3 na mahirap iwasan, pero masarap gawin.
1. SIGARILYO - YOSI BREAK
Admit it. Almost everyone is addicted to cigarette. Mahirap na din umiwas once nasubukan mo na. Pero kaya ko pa naman. But still, medyo mahirap na ding iwasan. I still remember nung first time ko nagsigarilyo. God, it was a disaster. Actually, bata pa ako nun. I was with my cousin and my uncle threw away his cig. Ayun. Pinulot namin at hinipak. Inubo lang ako at naduwal pa. But that was a fun experience. And now, nababawasan ko na ang sigarilyo. At least nakaka five to six sticks per day na lang ako. Pero mahirap pa rin ng walang sigarilyo sa buhay. Hehe.
2. COFFEE - KAPEHAN MUNA
As you all know, I’m a callcenter agent. So madalas ang schedule ko is from 2:00AM to 11:00AM. Kailangan talaga ng pangpagising. Plus, unlimited pa ang coffee sa amin. Kaya kahit maka 1Galon ka ng coffee, walang sasaway sayo. Unlimited din ang ice tea, mocha latte, choco latte, and cappucino. And everyday, nakaka 3-4 cups of coffee ako. And kakaiba ang feeling pag walang kape. LOL.
3. BEER - TOMAHAN SESSION
Siguro naman hindi ko na kailangang i-explain ‘to diba?
*Now I’m tagging rob, sh3lly, and yeinechan and to EVERYONE na nakakabasa nito. Post 3 things that you can’t live without. Or 3 things na mahirap iwasan. ^^
WANTED: CAT
September 25, 2008
I’ve always wanted to have a cat. I used to have one but he died ages ago [God bless his soul. I miss him and he’ll always stay in my heart.] Anyway, the reason why I wanted to have a cat so bad is that cats are just so cute. They’re lovely and adorable especially when they play with you. This 30th, I’m going to get a Siamese cat from Ella. And I’m so excited about it.
Witchcraft and Superstition [source: wikipedia]
Historically, black cats were symbolically associated with witchcraft and evil. In Hebrew and Babylonian folklore, cats are compared to serpents, coiled on a hearth. The cat was worshipped in Egypt and to kill one was a crime punishable by death. When an Egyptian family’s cat died, the cat was mummified and the family went into mourning. Romans, also, considered the cat sacred and introduced the animal into Europe. In most European countries, except Britain and Ireland, a black cat crossing one’s path is considered bad luck; they were also seen by the church as associated with witches. Black cats (and sometimes, other animals of the same colour, or even white cats) were sometimes suspected of being the familiars of witches. Black cats were believed to be shape shifters, that witches could transform into them by saying a spell and travel about doing evil things unnoticed. According to sources witches took such good care of their cats for this reason and it was rumored that they even fed them the blood of babies to stay youthful and agile. As the cat was a form of its witch owner it was believed that by harming a cat you were directly harming its witch. Many also believed that the devil regularly took the form of a black cat. Because of this on holy days, such as Easter, during the Middle Ages black cats were routinely hunted down and burned. By the 17th Century the cat began to be associated with witchcraft and its luck turned from good to bad in many areas around the world. (more…)
"I’ve Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth" - Fall Out Boy
September 14, 2008I love the song. I love the lyrics. I love the message. Fall Out Boy makes great songs that are true and deep. This song is pretty unique. Its slower than the other songs. The song is about Pete Wentz [Fall Out Boy’s bassist] He tried to overdose (on Ativan) and thankfully failed. Check out this song, guys. I’m sure magugustuhan nyo.
I’ve Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song)
Fall Out Boy
Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of best friends
We’re the kids who feel like dead ends
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn’t even come close
At trust and love and hope
And the poets are just kids who didn’t make it
And never had it at all
And the record won’t stop skipping
And the lies just won’t stop slipping
And besides my reputation’s on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
Please put the doctor on the phone ’cause I’m not making any sense
Blame everyone but me for this mess
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
We never seemed so far
I’m hopelessly hopeful, you’re just hopeless enough
But we never had it at all
And the record won’t stop skipping
And the lies just won’t stop slipping
And besides my reputation’s on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
Chiko is no longer a teen!
Nuuuuuuuuuuuu! I’m no longer a teen! I was just 19 years old a couple of hours ago and now I’m already 20! And I’m so happy about it! Finally, I can call myself as the person-who-just-grew-up. LOL.
Anyway, I’m having the best day EVER! I went to festival mall with my family and Mina [my girlfriend ^^ love you, honey ^_^] and Shane, my brother’s girlfriend. And it was the perfect moment to ruin my “diet-muna-ako” day. Pizza allover the table, chiken, veggie salad, riiiiiiiiice and tea! And I’m so proud to say that I ate A LOT.
And what’s so special about this day other than celebrating with my family and my girlfriend? Simple. My family had the chance to meet my girlfriend and also, first time ko na maghanda ng cake sa birthday ko! (more…)
LoveFooL
September 11, 20081:51AM. I till have nine more minutes to post an entry, 9 more minutes para “pumetiks” and nine more minutes para mag set up ng computer para sa mga tools na gagamitin mamaya. The title of this entry is “Lovefool.” Bakit lovefool? Don’t even ask. Just read.
Una, I like the song. “Lovefool by Cardigans” Reminds me of “the past.” And syempre yung message ng song. Halos lahat naman tayo dumaan sa stage na kung saan umiyak tayo at nasaktan. Pero it doesnt end there, diba? Life goes on. Sabi nga ni Chris Jordan, author of Taken, “…drive until the road ends.” So go lang. Tuloy tuloy lang dapat.
1:57AM. Three more minutes para mag login. Then 60 minutes para pumitik. You know, young technique para hindi ka pasukan ng tawag. Lahat naman ng agent dito ginagawa yun. Imposibleng hindi.
1:59AM. One more minute. Log in na.
…So I cried, and I begged for you to
LOVE ME LOVE, say that you love ME.
leave me, leave me…
Just say that YOU NEED ME.
I can’t care about anything but you.
…petiks mode.
September 10, 20084:50AM na. Nagsisimula ng pumikit ang mga mata ko. Haay, antok nanaman ako. Gutom na rin ako. Crispy Pata pa naman ang baon ko na luto ng tatay ko.
Ayos ‘to. 108 avail. Mas matagal ang oras ng pag petiks. Mas matagal ang pasok ng tawag. Sabayan mo pa ng pag “pitik”. Edi hindi ka na pinasukan ng tawag. Ayos talaga ‘to.
At ang buong tauhan ng IT Department, nagkalat sa floor. Mabagal kasi ang connection ngayon. Pati ibang files sira. Ang sarap nga naman ng mga araw na tulad nito. Walang trabaho, walang ginagawa. Hindi mo kailangang gamitin ang 15min na break mo dahil wala ka na rin namang ginagawa.
6:57AM na. Hindi pa ako nakain. Ang malas at naayos na ang kaguluhan na nangyayari sa floor. At isa pa lang ang benta ko. Bagsak yata ako ngayong araw na ‘to.
Tangina. Nakalam na sikmura ko. Kakain muna ako.
Sunday Morning…
September 7, 2008Sunday. Wala naman pasok. Pero meron, meron, MERON! Tangina kasi eh. Pumasok kami nung Tuesday, eh wala naman palang pasok nung araw na yun. Hindi pa kami pinauwi. Badtrip. So 6 days ang pasok this week. Tangina talaga. 1:44AM na. 16 minutes pa para mag-blog, para pumetiks, para mag internet, kahit bawal. Sabi ko nga, masarap ang bawal.
So… Tuesday to Sunday, may pasok. Monday off. Tuesday, may pasok ulit. Ayos diba? 1 day lang ang pahinga. Walang oras mag gala. Walang oras tumambay sa labas.
Ayan na at 7:27AM na. ilang oras na lang uwian na. Para makaiwas sa calls na pumapasok at maka pag update ng blog, every three minutes, kailangang pumitik. Isang teknik kung saan ang isang agent ay makakaiwas sa bawat tawag na papasok. Every three minutes, PITIK! Biglang bababa ang pangalan mo sa papasukan ng tawag at meron kang three minutes para makipag-kwentuhan sa katabi, para mag internet, at syempre, para makapag update ng blog mo. Pwede rin mag friendster. Kaso nga lang, sa sobrang liit ng windos mo [kailangan kasi sobrang liit para mabilis matago at hindi mahuli ng mga “Ermingard” o mga gwardya sibil na naglilibot sa floor at naninigudaro na nagttrabaho ng maayos ang mga agents]. At dahil nga sa sobrang liit ng windows mo, hindi na masaya ang mag friendster. Hehe. Ang iba nga, nagbubukas ng immem at meebo. Para nakakapag chat at nag soundtrip at the same time. Ayos diba?
Ayan na. Three minutes na nakalipas sa timer ko. Pipitik muna ako. =]
