Depending Too Much

Im sorry if i wasn't able to update my blog. My internet connection is still freakin out.

March 27,2008 SATURDAY
The Facilities Supervisor called me up and asked me for a favor. He told me to go to Skyrise and take pictures of these and that...and he wants it to be prioritized. After the call, I immediately went to Skyrise Building and took some shots. I went back to Golden Peak Hotel around 1:30pm and i told him that its ready and if i should save it on his PC and he said no. I asked if i should save it in the laptop instead and he said he would still ask permission. Late afternoon, he called me up and asked me where the laptop is and i said its with the other department because they used it last Wednesday. "I just want to know where it is so that i can pull it out anytime." he said.

I forgot to tell him that i was on leave Friday March 28, but i told the HR though.

Graduation
It was my younger brother's graduation and yes, inspite of his low grades he graduated. Oh my... hahaha
Around 1:30pm, got a call from my work place that the computers are not working well and stuff like that. "Oh man, im on leave..." I said to myself, and since im on call, i just need to go. I was not paid for visiting a few minutes there.

March 29 Saturday
I attended the Microsoft Seminar about Microsoft Express Design. It was fun and a new thing to me. I then went back to the workplace and WHALA!!! "hey where have you been, the facilities supervisor was looking for you and he was really piss off because you did not attend to what he requested..." and i was like? HUH? HUH? HUH? WHAT???

as i enter to another department, the same story was told and i was like....WHAT THE??? Our HR asked me to see her and before i went home, our Manager asked me the same question... DUH???

What exactly Happened
I told them the story that i was not able to tell him that im on leave and that i need to attend the seminar this morning ( Saturday ), and the supervisor thought i was hiding from him. Im not hiding and why should I???

Too MUCH!
First of all, If your requesting for help, you don't act like your the boss because your not one. 2nd, Your not the only person i attend to in this building, don't be greedy. 3rd, Find option...don't always rely on one person. 4th, Follow-up on things and don't wait for it to appear in front of you, LAZZY ASS! 5th, Never criticize others, if you want to...just make sure your perfect enough for others not to criticize you in return.

LEARNINGS!
Pride, put in down or raise it up, look at the situation. You'll make things worst with that kind of attitude. Requesting, don't get mad because your the one who needed help, unless you paid him. Ask nicely and politely.

When HIRING PEOPLE! make sure they are qualified for the job. A psychologist cant be an ENGINEER or the like.

Customer Service

What Happened?
Its been a while since the last time i posted, hehehe. I was asked to take part of an awarding ceremony as the official photographer Thursday night, so i was not able to blog.lolz....well, it was fun and i was paid for it.

Quality Customer Service
Oh, our internet service is bundled with DSL connection and the service begins to suck. I hate it when i don't get what im paid for. Every time i call their customer service, the same old script. They may be able to solve the problem but recently, the problem keeps getting back. We don't have a dial tone and our internet speed was no good. My brother called them up, it was fixed and then, then problem came back today. Just don't know how to resolve this problem.

Holiday is Over

Work Again
So holiday is over and back to work tomorrow. A lot of things to do in my "TO DO" List. Expecting a big day tomorrow so i better sleep early tonight, well after i play my favorite game. lolz

WOLF-Chinese Movie
After the Baccalaureate Service, me,my mom and my little brother went to the mall to buy electric fan. Its summer time...hehehe. We watched a chinese movie entitled "Wolf" in www.crunchyroll.com and it was a sad movie. You guys should watch it. I don't want to spoil the story so go on and watch it yourself...

about the Movie
You have a life time goal that you want to achieve, but one day, you just figured out that the goal your aiming for no longer exist, can no longer be reached.

Good Friday

Good Friday
I went to work Yesterday, its Good Friday and obviously a very silent workplace. As i was changing up properly before i would punch in, i saw Sir Rico. Oh, Sir Rico is in charge of our hotel system and i asked help from him about the half conscious server, which would be submitted to the ICU...lolz. Sir Rico was not able to fix it too, better send it to NG KHAI.

Whats Lunch?
Oh, no lunch at all....its holiday. Binignit, a Filipino food, almost like porridge but stickier, sweet, mixed with bananas, casavas ang the like... That was my lunch...yeah, full at first, hungry at 2:00pm, dizzy at 4:00pm because of boredom, resulted to watching www.metacafe.com instead...

Ghost Town
Reached a ghost town? look at this picture below...


First time to walk around the place on Good Friday. LOLZ...if this is life then....where am I?

DAY OFF

MAUNDAY THURSDAY
So its holy week and i spend my day off at home. Ill be working tomorrow even if it's still holiday. I need to check on the server and all that. I woke up late today, around 9am, its already late for me, hehehe. I just ate some crackers because lunch was near. Prepared a place for my dog because she is pregnant. Today was really hot and very humid.

NICE MOVIE

Me, my mom and my little brother watched ROB B HOOD at www.crunchyroll.com. Jackie Chan is my favorite actor. The movie was fun and exciting. He acts pretty well in the film. His moves are cool and astonishing.

DETERMINATION
My mom told me how jackie became a good actor. He was actually a floor sweeper, a work similar to that. He was once mocked by an actor because jackie accidentally hit him. He discouraged jackie that he won't make it to the film industry. This made Jackie work harder, tried the roles of extras and doing stunts. He started here and he went higher. Determination is the key, don't be discouraged, show the world who's the boss.

I Hate It

NEW UNIFORM
I got my new uniform and wore it to work yesterday and i hate it. The upper uniform is a bit bulky and side slit is too high but the worst part...the pants. Oh, its really tight, and im not used to wearing skinny jeans. I really hate it because i can't walk properly, can't make a large step. Really, very annoying, uncomfortable. My friend down there can't nearly breath.

IGNORED
I complained it to the clothes maker, and she just ignored me. She said its normal and it fits me, bla bla bla....all i want to say is, i am the one wearing it and you dont know how it feels. If i complain, you respect it and you give opinion and suggestion but not ignoring other people's concern.

LESSON
If your in a business, customer service is very important. I know how hassle it is to change it, revise it, return it, but why are you in this business if you don't follow this? I know i yap too much but hey, isn't it true? Won't you demand proper customer service if your a customer?

I Thought It was a JOKE

I was not able to blog last night because blogspot was not acting properly at home. I went to playing my favorite online game instead but the server cut me off when i was about to enjoy the game.

I thought it was a JOKE
OK, here is what happened at work yesterday. I was in another department that morning and officemate A from another department called up and was talking to officemate B. I was talking on the background and A heard it and asked B who it was, then B added a few words in their conversation as if it was A that was making fun of me. So, thinking that it was A who was making fun of me, i say some jokes in return. When i answered the phone and talked to A, she got mad and asked why accused her of that and she drop the phone...

HUH? MY Fault?
OK, i did not expect that. The joke made by B, who i thought was A's joke was not that harsh, so i was thinking it was A. Just a simple joke, nothing much...But its the dropping of the phone that i was concerned about. She did not hear my part at all, so it felt bad actually. I saw her that day but she still acts the same way, sticking out her tongue when she saw me, and that action made me say, "she is not mad at me?" but still it felt bad.

Sorry
Last night, i sms her and said im sorry but she did not reply. It's this feeling that bothers me.

LEARN
Simply don't make jokes, others may be sensitive and others may not. Never be sensitive on jokes unless you confirm it from that person. Lolz....

PACMAN Pacquiao



Manny Pacman Pacquiao WON again
I took a nap at noon waiting for the real fight between Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and Juan Manuel “Dinamita” Marquez because i know the real show starts at 2pm, oh im not watching the pay per view. Hehehe. The first 2 rounds was not that great because manny got those punches. Intense reaction of the crowd in the stadium. marquez got the first knock out by Pacman on round 3 of the game. It lasted to round 12 and Pacman won by split decision.

UNFAIR???
Ok, ive searched the forums and they are not happy that manny won the game because if you see the game, without the K.O., manny would lose on that game but HEY! he did the K.O. and the judges are not from Philippines so why say that crap...??? He got the title and he won the WBC. He got it with his effort so stop mocking this guy unless he cheated in some ways... just trying to explain....envious people.

STRESS, PRESSURE

Tough Day
A tough day for me today. Walked around and prepared the computers to be pulled out. Morning was pretty normal until afternoon came, and i was sleepy. Waiting for the signal of my SUPERIOR ( of course not really my superior...they just think they are ) to bring back the pc from the computer shop because the OS was installed there. Of course i know how to do it but i can't finish all the 3 units by myself and they need the units ASAP. OK, here is what i want to talk about.

TOO MUCH PRESSURE
Instructions given to you today and at this time, they want it do be done ASAP. Pressuring you to give the exact time you'll finish. Here is the thing guys... I know you are also being pressured by your head master but you want to relay the pressure to others so that you can blame them for not finishing the task. First of all, if you don't know the job, don't assume that its easy for us "know-how" coz we also have a limit. Second, about electronics, anything could go wrong and we cannot predict it and would take us more time to solve it. Pressuring us is not the right way to get good results.

SHUT UP
If you dont know how to go about it, just shut up. I know...you guys need it ASAP but can't you give us ample time? Can't you just give this to us a bit earlier? then you can judge us by how we work if we can't finish on time. We just need to understand each other in order to be more productive and thats just it.

Bb. Pilipinas 2008, Janina San Miguel

Bb. Pilipinas 2008
Binibining Pilipinas 2008 beauty pageant held at the Araneta Coliseum on March 8, 2008. I was not able to see the telecast over the television. I was not curious about who won, not interested on pageant search until....it was aired on the news.

Ms. Janina San Miguel won the Bb. Pilipinas 2008 - World, also Best in Swim Suit and Best in Long Gown. My officemates started talking about this girl so i head up and search for it in YOUTUBE.COM


She is ONLY HUMAN
I admit, her grammar was so funny and no one expected her to win the title. I kept laughing without thinking...what if that was me? all i heard was the negative part like...how could she represent us? its a shame...bla bla...negatives. I told one of my officemates and she looked it up in youtube but she just said its pretty normal, we make mistakes. I was struct by what she said, i then realized that she got a point. I would like to personally say ... Im sorry Janine. Inspite of her grammar, she is pretty and tall.

THINK about THIS
So that would be a memorable experience on her part. She would be carrying the thought forever. Huge effect on my life if that was me, but she still managed to answer until the end. KUDOS to you Janine. So guys, come one. Don't be harsh on her. We should encourage her to try harder and speak tagalog or learn english the hard way rather than criticizing her. Uplift her and not .... your thinking of Downlift? hahah. So the winning part is to be questioned...why is that my dear judges?

Strict Parents

It was a busy day today. I checked the server which was half conscious until this time. I visited the nearby computer shop to return the defective video card since it was still under warranty. Walked around the hotel and noticed that people around me were also busy. What a day!

I searched for solutions over the web in the afternoon but still no luck... i felt like its hopeless. Too tired of thinking, exhausted, boredom is what i feel right now. I don't have much to say today...or is it just because im tired. Oh my officemate pulled up a funny joke..."pls log your printouts" lolz... she said she's gonna kill me if i spread it over the net.lolz...wahhahah

Strict Parents
Oh...todays topic on killer bee was... "Do you have strict parents...?" For sure, if parents are still strict when your above 21, somethings wrong. It might be because they don't want you to suffer something they experienced. Mo was actually right, if your parents are strict, you actually find ways to lie...i totally agree to this. I admit, done it quite few times like going out with friends and stating another reason but at my age right now. They are no longer that strict i guess or maybe its just that im used to staying at home..... just like before.

Friendship

The reason why i was not able to post yesterday is that,i arrived late already. From work, i left the office around 5pm with a WIN2003 server problem in my mind. Me and my friends planned a dinner together last week and to be scheduled yesterday, and since my close friend would be late so i was thinking it wont push through coz its a dinner and not a night life. After having dinner at home, my friend texted me that they were waiting for me. Since it was raining, I got lazy and gave a lot of excuses not to go... ( they didn't know that im already at home )

CONSCIENCE
It struct me a little telling me to go and see them, so i decided to ride a cab and go. The dinner was fun, i got to meet my friends once again. They were my high school friends. Just the usual chat and smiles.

FRIENDSHIP
We talked about our high school memories. We talked about our chinese teachers and all. My problem vanished for a while because i was enjoying the night. Although we were not complete, my friend Randy was missing from the guys but hopefully he can join us next time. I was hoping we could have another meeting like this. Thank you all, you made my life wonderful.

LAZY goes to Work

It's Cold, Skip Work
I was just too lazy to wake up this morning. It was raining and can't get out of the bed. I finally decided to drag myself up and prepare for work. Ate breakfast and took a bath, then i lay down on my bed and...zzzzzz back to sleep. I was certain that i could not go to work with the jeepneys so i decided to take the cab and in my mind i said to myself, " since im taking the cab, ill sleep some more " guess what? I had a hard time taking the cab because everyone was doing the same thing. My shoes are all soaky and i felt like i just want to go home and skip work instead but a cab pass by me so.... work here i come.

Late for Work
I was late. I arrived around 8:13am in the workplace and i felt really bad because i broke my record...the hotel was quite and i continue my unfinished business. Our employee's meal for today was fish so, me and my officemates went out to a carenderia to eat instead. Before we headed back, we bought some melon powder for shake...sad to say, it didnt really taste good. hehehe, too many sugar granules.

Pretty but Ugly
As i went in the sales office, i saw a pretty lady. I admire her beauty and thats just it. She was applying for a job as an HR of ORO CHINA. She waited there with another applicant. I heard that she's a canadian...no wonder. As time passed by, she began to ask when she would be interviewed and then ask again then ask.... Oh boy, she is Ugly...she began complaining...well with a nice tone i think but still....she began yapping about time and appointments...good thing she was not talking to me... KUDOS to my officemate, she was able to handle it. Sad but True

Im going Home
Thank God the rain stopped. I was able to take the jeepney and arrived home safely. Still playing with my blog and learning more about online marketing.

Rainy day, Strong wind, Silent Work Place

It was raining on my way to work. To avoid the hassle of bringing out the umbrella, i walked fast, hehehe. I listened to the morning show again Good Times with Mo and it was fine even if the TRIO ( Mo, MoJo, Gracelee ) wasn't there Sam, Andy9 and Miguel took their place. Their topic was "What can't you leave without for a month?" and in my head, even if im not using it so much, it was my phone. Almost everyone has a cellphone nowadays and if the question before was " You got a cellphone? " now, it would be " You dont have a cellphone? " Everyone got to have a cellphone these days and texting is the way around with this technology.

Strong wind we got here in Cebu, Philippines and it was a silent hotel. I walk around the hotel just to stay awake, hehehe... I went to Mango Square to check out some PC games for sale there but sad to say the stores were longer there. I asked the sales lady in that area for the new location of those stores and she directed me to Robinsons. Since its near, i just walk towards the mall and sad to say, after searching the whole building, i was still not able to see the stores. Shoot, did she give me the wrong information? A little time left so i headed back to the hotel.

5:00pm, and im going home... waiting for jeepney, a lot of people waiting and as soon as a mid-full jeepney came, me and my officemate went up and oh my..... i only have my spine supporting my whole body. I wasn't able to sit, i felt bad but still stayed calm and waiting for an opportunity for a passenger to move out. Sort of like sitting in the air...... ohhh...im surely not gonna pay for my ride i said for myself, lolz and im sure the girls beside me see the my amazing position. Well, glad that there was one who move out..... and i payed the fare of course.

Forgot earphones, No Killer Bee, No Arnold Scharzenegger...

I usually listen to KillerBee ( radio station in Manila) on my way to my work place in Gorordo Ave, Cebu City Philippines. Today was suppose to be the day when Mo calls up Arnold for an interview. He met him at the all star game ( not really sure, but im sure its a basketball game held somewhere outside of ASIA ) coz Mo was sent there to interview the players.

Sad to say, i forgot my earphones and was not able to hear the interview. I hurriedly plug my earphones to my cellphone when i got to the hotel ( workplace ) but it was too late. The interview was over and the DJs are exicited coz they are going to Korea tomorrow... That radio station is really rich... no kidding. They give away laptops and concert tickets.

Sykes Asia was interviewing applicants in the hotel function room today. I admit that i was a bit annoyed by the applicants there. They just hang out anywhere and they made the hallway uneasy to walk and everytime i pass by them, i need to duck to pass by them. Well, its my attitude to do that, so that i won't disturb their conversation, but they should have stayed in some corner inside the function room. Maybe its the organizer thats to be blamed. Hahaha. Peace yall, just expressing my part.

I called up Phil-Am because i want to know if they have vacancy for Software QA as seen on their website and i just want to confirm it. The HR answered the phone, i ask for the vacancy and she said yes, its available but what struct me was when i ask "How many QA do you need?" and she said "Why do you want to know?" What is this? is it me or......whaaaaaaaat? OK fine, i can manage it. She then said they need a Senior Software QA as advertised on the newspaper, i then told her that i saw it on their site that its only Software QA, there was no Senior...of course with a nice tone. She then said, "it was on our ad that its Senior Software QA". Can't you just say it nicely? It was really rude. I know its only a little thing but i just want to express. She might not be feeling well and i understand but.....really rude. I hope she can change they way she answers the applicants.

Wine testing event in the afternoon. I did not join the said event because im not quite of a drinker so i just pretend to be doing something and walk away from the crowd...wooops i hope our manager wont be reading this blog.hahahaha.... he is a big guy, he can do anything to a thin guy like me...well, not that thin. lolz

Rainbow on a Sunny day...umbrellas UP

About today... as i went to of my house, going to work. It was hot, sun is shinning and...it was raining. Ever feel the hassle of bringing an umbrella with you? And your bag gets wet with the drops from your umbrella? That's how it is, to avoid colds i guess...

While walking, i look up into the sky and saw this picture below.


(seen the other rainbow?)

Very unusual to see it there... the rain was unusual by itself. Kinda telling me that inspite of your lovely day, something's still lurking out there to make it a bad one, its just how you face it. Umbrella.....!!!

I was having fun with my blogspot for a while tonight. Customizing the blog and adding adsense to it.
I receive a comment on my first post and im happy about it. Hoping the anonymous person would check my blog out day by day.
