well, musta naman yan, after one week after manalo si David Cook eh ngayon ko lang sya nabati! I was really thinking na baka si Archuleta pa ang manalo (although gusto ko rin naman si Archuleta pero there’s something synthetic about him)! Anyways, maganda rin naman ang laban and i think that David Cook owes his success to Simon Cowell who really gave a bad comment on his performance. The fans might have reacted to that by voting for him

now, before rabid fangirls start to think that there’s something going on between these two *which is very fancible indeed* i guess that there’s a BIG difference on what will happen to thse two - with Archuleta going down the safe way and Cook being the rocker we knew and loved.

Anyway, even “successful, career-minded people” stumble on blunders that basically puts their company name in an awkward position.

Everyone know that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as others see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services, but clearly didn’t give their domain names enough consideration:

• A site called where you can find the name of the agent who represents a celebrity. Their domain name? wait for it. is www.whorepresents.com

post in my blog?! I’ve been thinking of moving my blog somewhere else since apparently, my friendster friends aren’t really friends at all; they’d rather diss out things written here to gain favors (duh!) and i can’t see anything wrong with that since that’s their way of dealing things and that’s who they are.

i really can’t think of any reason how people are thinking im telling things behind their backs aside from the feedbacks (yup, merely opinions, fyi! unless you’re the person i figure out to be) other than reading my blog and spilling the beans. And add to that the fact things are getting really ugly. Well anyway, its not only me who have opinions about others and yes, im sure im not mistaken, everyone else finds the same thing and says the same thing that i do (you can eliminate those who are rather bottom-lickers).

But hell, who cares, everyone is entitled to their opinions and that’s what’s freakin screamin in front of me! Why would i remain nonchalant about the bakaness of some! Read all they want (besides there’s another blog that i can pour my heart into!) Hah, 2 months past, everyone’s color is showing and those who are supposedly good are far from being one (seems like that’s the way they are until they die, pity!)

so id rather have people frown at me and stab me at my back than have them smile at me then stab me even harder, coz God knows it’s not me they’re destroying (guess who!).

I’ve changed the theme song for my blog to "Konnani Chikaku de" by Crystal Kaye. I was surprised to find out that she is an African American with some Korean from her motherside (called a 3rd-generation Zainichi, Koreans living in Japan) wow, that’s what I call Mixed Races! Anyway, she is fluent in both English and Japanese and studied french. Her first contribution to Anime was the ending song for FMA called ‘MotherLand’.

"Konnani Chikaku de" is the theme for the anime Nodame Cantabile, which is very enjoyable. Im watching it right now and i plan to buy the J-drama version. I like the message of the song, so while the music is playing on the background, here’s the translation:

I realized that love was painful that night by your side
Because I know you better than anyone else
Your everyday kindness
Makes my heart ache

Just like this, I look at you from up close
But why, why are we only just friends?
No matter how strong my feelings are
I can’t convey it to you
You don’t understand
I’m so in love with you

It was a dull night the moment you said it
The tears that reached the tip of my neck were the reason I couldn’t sleep.
Right now I’m always lying to my most precious person

Everyday, everyday my heart aches
There are so many voices I hear when I sleep at night　(!?)
I’ve gone through so many, many sleepless nights
Ever since the first day we met by chance
If only we could return to that time
I’m so in love with you

It’d be nice to confess and love you
Is it impossible to go back to our smiling faces?
Although remaining as friends and not confessing might be better than love
Because I’m not able to do it anyway

Truly, truly I’ve always loved you
I always, always want to continue loving you
I want to send these feelings to you
I whisper them to the blue sky
I’m so in love with you!

hmmm, napapansin ko lang na dumadami na at nagiging malawakan na ang pagiging "niggah" ng mga kapitbahay ko ditey sa malabon…wala naman talaga akong masamang tinapay sa kanila, actually nakakatuwa nga sila minsan eh! Take note, MINSAN lang but anyway, sila rin naman yung nagdadala ng kulay at away dito sa mejo-hindi-mapayapang bahagi ng malabon…

okay, oh diba, nakaaliw sila! parang sila yung mga nababalita sa TV Patrol at 24 Oras na nagrarambulan! Hehe, pero cool naman talag sila, masaya rin naman silang kausap, kung kakausapin ka nila! Since nasa tapat lang nman kami ng court nakatira, updated kami sa mga nangyayari sa paligid (isang dungaw lang!) at ang mga activities nila eh…1. Maglaro ng Basketball, 2. Mag-inuman, 3. Magkwentuhan and/or Chikahan, 4. Rambulan and..meron pa ba?! Well, kita ko naman na masaya sila sa takbo ng buhay nila so okay narin sakin yun, at dahil sa laro lang sila ng laro eh gumaganda rin ang mga hubog ng kanilang katawan! hehe, yung iba lang, okay! nevertheless, hindi rin naman sila yung mga tipong pag-iinteresan ko!

Anyway, ewan ko ba kung bakit nila inaadopt ang pagiging ‘homies’! why nga ba?! yung malalaking damit, jackets, jerseys at trousers nako super pang kokak-boy! actually kamukha nga ng isa yung callboy na naencounter ko eh (ikukuwento ko minsan dito yun!) hmmm! very delicious! hahah! Kahit na tapat-araw pa yan, go! wa-kiyeme! dedma! Tapos pag nagpo-pose pa sila eh gumagawa sila ng mga handsigns na parang tinamaan ng polio ang kamay nila! At dahil jan, napag-alaman ko kung anong frat kasama yung cute na kokak boy na nadownload ko yung scandal!

Well, tulad nga ng sabi ko, kung jan sila masaya, shoot! kasama parin naman nila ako kapag inaya nila ako ng inuman! Inaya ko nga sila ng swimming na hindi ko naman naasikaso kaya baka nagtampo (oh diane!) hehe, next time pwede?!

hmmm, leche ka Markos Pierre! tinanggal mo pala ako sa contacts mo ha!

its been a little over a month when we graduated from PLM, pero marami na rin ang nagpapatuloy sa kanilang mga career, having jobs and of course, earning salaries! yehey! pwede nang mabili lahat ng gusto…kahit lalake! Iba-iba ang pinatunguhan, pero lahat naman eh umuunlad…

Sina ivy at lorraine had to go through a training in basic HRM and now nasa ShangriLa Makati na sila as receptionists! How cool! Nag-pay off rin ang kanilang pagiging career girls, and being employed in a top hotel frequented by VIP ’s and foreigners, hindi malayong makakuha sila ng VIP rin! hehe! Meron din namang nag-stick sa corse naming management, tulad nila Erica at Alpha na nabalitaan kong nag-pursue bilang management trainees sa isang fastfood (hindi ko alam kung saan yon), samantalang si Mar naman at Marlon ay nasa singapore na, nag-oojt for a hotel ang earning a lot. Si Abby naman, after rumored na nag-aapply bilang saleslady (na pinagkakalat nina Arman at Jen), balita ko eh isa nang management trainee rin sa fastfood. Si Mina at Marielyn naman eh napuntang bangko. Sa BDO nagt-training si Mina at sa Asia Trust naman daw si Marielyn, na hindi alam ng nanay nya. Si Dina nagpatuloy sa kanyang ojt at ngayon eh full-time employee na ng WaterFront Container Leasing Co., at kumikita parin ng way-above-minimum. Si Arman naman ay nabalitaan na nasa SM bilang isang stockman, account inventory ang mas magandang term pero nag-aapply din daw sa Zuelig, yan ang hirap kapag masyadong maraming sinusubukan eh! Meron ding nasa public service tulad ni Lara na nasa Cityhall na daw ngayon, kasama ang kanyang mama. Buti pa sila! Kahit nga si Ude eh naghahanap na ng pagkakakitaan eh..pero duda ako jan na makakakita nga sya! hehe!

On the other hand, hindi lang naman ako ang nasa Call Center industry. Yes, meron ding naakit sa malaking initial pay ng pagiging call girl at dahil jan, nag-apply sa People Support sina Michelle at Rochelle at goodluck sa kanila! Taga-caloocan sila at roughly 2 hours ang byahe..nightshift pa sila! Sana lang eh mag-ingat sila dahil mapanganib ang caloocan pagkagat ng gabi!

see, nakapanood ako ng mga kapalpakan ng mga artista sa youtube and it only proves na kahit na gaano ka kagaling, there’s always room for improvement. Sabi nga ng mga fans ni Ayumi Hamasaki (dahil nakalimutan nya ang lyrics) "Yesterday’s weakness, Tommorow’s strength!"

Ayumi forgets her lyrics! Very Cute!             Regine’s Mess with "Listen" in SOP!

   Lani failed a whistle note! Real Funny!              The Destiny of Destiny’s Child onstage!

                   Christina falters in "I Turn To You"

kaya okay lang yan. Kung me nagawa kang embarassing, just remember that ‘Everybody Falls’! At kelangan mong magpasalamat dahil wla namang masyadong nakakita…o kaya naman nag-post sa youtube ng video mo!

aaarrrggghhh…work is so frustrating! Im really having a hard time coping and adjusting myself to this environment. I really feel like im not living up to anyone’s expectations (duh! i don’t really like pleasing others…) and add to that the following reasons:

- im the only one left that has no call center experience (well, the other one was taken for midsummer and went to training for another account)

- the one who’s supposedly ‘helping’ us isn’t really helpful; she’s just concerned with ‘certain’ individuals (and even gives ’scratch papers’ to the ‘certain’ ones…nanitten dayo?!) and only helps if that’s ‘convenient’ to her. She’s really getting not only into my nerves but to others as well (can’t she tell that other nestees aren’t asking for her help anymore? they’d rather ask others for advice!)

- im the lowest in everything! well not really everything but most…urrrgghh, its really frustrating for me. Im the lowest in QA and highest in AHT…arrgh…attendance is my only saving grace (imagine that..attendace being my strength?! just when did that happen?!)

- add to that the feeling that i have to live up to my salary.

- and the irritation that Mark’s been giving me. I won’t talk to him anymore (effective this week…only.)

Gosh, i really don’t want to fail in my first job and im really exerting effort, but somehow it doesn’t show. Lord help me get through this slump! I really like this job (pay + perks + accessibility + convenience + camaraderie). It’s hard to find a job like this, and i don’t want to fail. I want to believe in myself but then again, the records show other way around.

- btw, add to that, my brother used to work for this company and he’s like one of the SME’s (Subject matter Expert) and a Product Trainor even…do i have to add to that that it’s blue chip he’s used to train for?! gosh, talk about major insecurity and inferiority complex going on in me…

sa tulong ng friendster, nagiging "friend" natin yung mga hindi natin kakilala, yung mga magaganda ang profile at yung mga crush naten! Pero infact, konti lang naman talaga ang friends naten eh! Kung ako lang siguro 5% lang talaga yung masasabi kong friend dito eh! Yung iba ko ngang totoong friend wala pa dito at more often than not, yung mga casual friends lang natin yung nasa "friend’s list" naten eh!

pero ang bago pa rito, naging instrumento ng "kaplastikan" ang friendster para mapalapit sa mga kaaway! makasama ang mga taong "in" at maidisplay ang mga edited na pictures para magmukhang maganda! Ang babaw! Parang ako! pero lately, nag-delete na naman ako ng mga masuswerteng tao sa friend’s list ko; kasehodang di ko kilala at hindi rin ako kilala…ano ba yun! Pero eto ang aking "worst featured friends" na hindi ko madelete dahil nakakatuwang panoorin at malaman na dahil sa 500+ ang friends nila ay "popular" na sila! na masabi lang na 300+ ang views nila ay maganda na sila (ehem, 900 po ang views ko!) at akala nila na pag naglagay sila ng "h" sa pangalan nila ay "cool" na sila! hehehe!

ayan, first batch! (from left to right)

1. Alvin Javinez: actually, ako pa nga ang nag-add sa kanya eh, at tama nga ang sinabi ni Jocelyn sa kanya! ang hahaba ng album title! Kamukha nya daw si Hero Angeles! ano ba yan, kukuha ng lang ng look-alike laos pa! Grade conscious pa rin kaya sya?!

2. Alexander Cruz: Feeling cool! haha! mukha namang patay na isda sa stage! walang kwentang host at peke ang blue na mata! pa-sosyal! Isnabero! Akala nya friends nya lahat ng nasa friend’s list nya ah! hindi nya lang alam na kalahati nun naimbyerna sa kanya! Isang legendary na pa-mhin~! Starstruck! feeling close sa mga gwapong lalaki na hanap ay lalaki din!

3. Alain Samonte: Aba, hindi namamansin sa campus! Akala nya kapag naging student sya ng Tourism eh tataas ang turismo ng pinas dahil sa kanya!

4. Erlinda: Hindi ko sya kilala! Inadd ko lang sya para makita si Marvin ng Marketing (at wala pa sa friends list nya ah!)

5. Miguel: Andaming updates sa kanya! umaabot na sa 1000+ ata ang pics nya pero nakakaupload pa! puro mukha nya naman na kinunan sa ibat-ibang anggulo pero hopeless talaga! Popularity in friendster doesn’t make you popular in the real world, honey!

6. Jen Bolado: nako, mapag-uusapan ba natin ang kaplastikan nang hindi nababanggit ang pangalan nya! ALAM NYO NA YAN! hahaha!

7. Jeff: Di ko sya kilala! Inadd ko lang sya dahil dati, nung nag-survey ako ng kabastusan, nag-reply sha ng "7 inches" kaya ko sya inadd. Other than that, wala na akong alam sa pagkatao nya! Kahit Last name nya!

8. Danmars Espena: Nako! Nagbagong anyo na si Dama! naging pa-cool! pumatol sa batang kalye! take note, BATA, at BATANG KALYE! mukhang sya na ang magiging pinakabatang "sugar"..wait, nanjan pa pala si Erwin…

9. Russel: Ang liit! Ang sungit! isnabero! hindi dahil sa matalino ka sa math eh magiging cool ka na! hindi dahil sa maliit ka eh cute ka na! kaya mamansin ka! or else lalong dadami ang pimples mo na actually, marami na talaga!

10.Azhyel: Eto pramis, kakaiba tong babaeng to…na-add ako ng wlang confirmation! bigla na lang sumulpot sa "Recently added friends!" Amazing! di ko sya kilala at dati, kapag vini-view ko ang pics nya eh nare-redirect ako sa page ko! O ha!

ayan, folks, ayan ang mga nasa friends list ko na hindi ko talaga kilala, nakokornihan na ako, o kaya naman ay ayaw na rin naman sakin pero nagkukutuban lang kami kung sino ang una sa aming mag-de-delete. Hmmm, nanjan ka ba!?
