Its 2:41 on my IP phone...Its Saturday afternoon on the east coast and I don't know what happened to the callers but we're actually receiving less calls tonight. Maybe because there's already 3 more agents added to our shift...Thank God!


I'm a bit sleepy and well trying my very best to keep myself awake without getting a cup of coffee.. 2 hours and 45 minutes more and then I could go to church and go home and sleep my ass off again!


So here I am almost to the end of my shift and I can't stop thinking of all things I could've wanted to write about...and then I stumble upon the long unanswered question:


WHAT DO I LOOK FOR IN A GUY?


Okay so I think its time I would answer that question since eventhough I don't have much experience on dating, I think I have gained enough knowledge on the male specie to be able to decipher what I really like or look for in a guy!

*he has to be God-fearing*
-Im not saying that he should be religious...its different from being faithful! but it would be great if he goes to Church every Sunday with his family.
*responsible and obedient son*

to be continue...I'm going home...

One of those rainy days....

Okay so it seems ages since I've posted. Kinda swamped with calls since we hit the floor again with the new account. On the average, we get like 30-40 calls per shift and it all ranges from simple login issues to complicated infastructure issues that needs to be forwarded to Tier 2...Okay sorry, got carried away with the call center terms...Anywayz, I'm glad its day off again...


I'm proud to say that I'm getting the hang of being in the night shift. I already found a way to get some sleep in the morning. DRINK STRESS TABS...yep and I'll surely doze off waking up at around 4 in the afternoon.


Got lots of things on my mind, I don't know how to let all of these thoughts out...


Well right now, I need to get back to sleep coz its quite nice to just snuggle in bed...


Its raining again... But this time, I love the rain...


Till next time!

on chasing cars and eating pizza

All alone on a Sunday afternoon, sitting near the window, I ate Sbarro's supreme stuffed pizza. I put on my headphones and listened to songs while eating lunch in ayala. Once again, I'm all by myself. I think I need to get used to it. Walking alone, eating alone, riding the jeepney alone... Don't get me wrong, I don't think my life is sad or that I am lonely. Its just that I cannot move forth with whatever plans I have if I keep on waiting for a companion right? I mean, I'm the kind of person who can do things with less supervision, with out any companion. I am independent and I love it that way.



So anyway, I listened to EBTG and some random mushy songs in Y101 and KillerBee. I thought of him again and how much fun we had last Saturday. (post about this will follow since I still don't have the pictures). I'm currently reading his book - By the River Piedra I sat down and wept by Paolo Coehlo. It seems that my readings nowadays are all about love and finding love. I love the words and the emotions along with that. I remember someone telling me that I am mushy...hehehe...maybe I am or better yet maybe I am a born romantic...


Then out of the blue, this song played:


"Chasing Cars"

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough


If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see


I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?




I remember us walking on a Tuesday evening, on our way back to the boarding house from JCA he told me he liked SNOW PATROL. Then I sang the "you are all that I want" song and he said that its not the same song... I finally heard the song "chasing cars" and once again left at awe at the possibility of him trying to convey a message to me through another song. He sang to me so many times already that the possibility is quite vague. But I as I tried to listen to the song, I let myself go ahead and think of that possibility that he meant every word. I know someone will react on this again (forgive me, I can't help myself, I like him too much to deprive myself of the fantasy). But if this is the only way for me to feel his closeness, his presence in my life, through the songs that he tries to share, every word of the lyrics and every tune of the music played, then I will take it and be grateful that music exists as form of communication between the souls.



See this is the effect of reading too many mushy books and listening to too many mushy songs. I'm full of mushiness....hehehehe...Give me this moment to feel and think and be...For now, its one of the things that makes me happy and contented... I promise I won't let it all get to my head so that someday, when he goes back to dating again, I won't be sad. Mind you, I've never cried for him, not once since I realized that I liked him too much...



Till then...*smiles*

my day off: part 1

GS Team Outing @ Mt. View


I had mentioned in my previous blogs that I was transfered to a new account. There are only 22 of us in the Global Suites account because its still a test drive for our company. We'd undergone training for just a week and then hit the floor the following week. The head office in Calgary actually sent one of their managers to train us.

So on his(the trainer) last night in Cebu coz he left for Japan yesterday, we went to Mt.View to have our team building. The view was great and the company was fantastic. Except for the part that my new found buddy Tess and I had to do the barbecue because all the girls were preoccupied with taking turns with the karaoke. And I just had 2 beers and a whole lot of soot on my shirt and face. But then again I had fun with my team mates. We are really a crazy bunch. Bottom line is, I am actually expanding my horizon and enjoying every bit of experience I have along the way...

But then again on that day I realized that the freedom that I have still does have its limitations. That same day after we went to Mt. View, the team agreed that we'd go home, freshen up and then go out and go disco. I had to attend my grandmother's birthday party so instead of going to the boarding house to change, I went to my Lola's party and then went home. Unfortunately and fortunately for me, my mom didn't allow me to out again that night. I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to go. But the afterwards I admitted to myself that I was better off because the following day, I was going out with friends to go wall climbing...


So that's about it with the first part of my adventuresome day off...


I'll just post the pics next time coz I still haven't transfered it...

say whats on your mind...


Say what's on your mind. Be kind, but be honest. You'll see startling results where before you saw only roadblocks. This isn't the easiest skill to master, but do it anyway. You'll serve yourself -- and others -- better.



So my night life would officially start tonight @ exactly 11pm. Yep, I'm moved to night shift... There goes the doubt again of whether I would make it or not. I definitely wont be late because my original shift would start at 7:50 pm... And would end at 4:50am. But if Terri could do it and so did the rest of the night shift people then I'll definitely go through the rest of the month in a breeze...


Anywayz, this is going to be awfully short since I need to make this project for one of my friends. And I need to prepare my clothes...and other stuff...


Till then, hope I could write a lot when I'm in night shift...Just to get all this feelings and thoughts out... Its hard to keep them, even harder to keep them all to myself.


Heaven shines down on me...
