    Off again. Whohoo. 

 

    Well, I’ve been absent for three days already, plus a Sunday. So it’s been four days I was out. I pretended to be sick, so I can get away with it. I talked to him, and he said he missed me. Hope he means it.

 

     I woke up early to go to the hospital, and I told Mom that I was going to Krissie’s place.

 

     So, okay, I went to Krissie’s place to beg her to come with me.

 

     Krissie has good news. She made to French Baker!!! Whohoo! But bad news for me, because didn’t wanna come with me. I stayed few more hours to beg her to come with, but she wouln’t budge. And while doing that, we watched Amazing Race. It’s a water challenge, actually. One of the contestants was so scared. Dang! She doesn’t realize how fun it is to be in the water.

 

     After Amazing Race, we watched David Foster and Friends. I love concerts like that. Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion, Charice Pempenco, Michael Buble and Josh Groban. I so love them!

 

     Celine Dion sang “Because You Loved Me”. As usual, it’s power vocals. But I like that version because there’s a touch of classism in it.  

      Michael Buble sang “Save the Last Dance for Me;, which I found really cute. He sorta reminds me of Matt Giraud. His performance was very energeci, and it’s really funny to seeing a crooner in an elegant tux, dancing ala Jabbawockeez, kneeling, popping and locking.

 

      And of course, my favorite, the one and only Josh Groban. He sang “You Raise Me UP”, which is hair raising, if you ask me. With that wonderful and angelic voice, surely, you’ll feel like you’re in heaven.

 

      I like Andrea’s performance too, though I don;t like him, because I like “The Prayer”. Well, Josh Groban’s was the best.

 

      Krissie wouldn’t budge so I decided to call Mark. But he was too busy for me, I guess. We just talke for few minutes, and of course, he mentioned his girlfriend. Not that I’m jealous or anything, but. Forget it!

 

       He asked me if there’s a problem, because I on’ call that often. Well, there was, but not that much. I can pretty much solve the problem, which was how to get Krissie to come with me.

 

     In the end, I gave up. I just went to the hospital alone. I was a bit late for the appointment so the nurse told me to be back around noon. So, okay, shopping time. I went to SM and bought the Candy’s Blake Lively back issue. I added up the Maja Salvador, ’cause I can’t really sleep without having them all in my shelf.

 

       I bought “Undomestic Goddess” and a heades as well. I have a triple choco boom from Country Style (as usual). I passed by in Quantum and I decided to shoot few hoops. I bought tokens and played. Wow.I really missed basketball. If you got it, you got it. I’m going back to hard court, if I ever get back to the graduate school.

 

      I went back to the hospital, and withtin 2 minutes, I got the medcert. I went home.

 

      On my way home, he truck in front of the vehicle I was on just crashed. I don’t know how it happened, but it just fell flat on the side. Good thing, someone mae “para!” so we stopped. If not, we’ll be crushed. And I was on the position for my skull to be crushed.

       

      The next day, I went with Mom and Alyssa (Ryan Carl’s new girlfriend) to SM. Mom and I had an argument about my spending. Look who’s talking. Duh, I just inherited that habit from her. Whatever. We went home, without eating .

 

      I went to bed that afternoon and went to work later in the evening. They pretty missed me, I could say.

 

      There’s something bad happened between Angie and Mitch. I didn’t really know what happened so I just shut up and have them sort it out.

 

      As usual, Tristan was there, but he never said a thing all night. I saw the client, but I was on a call and I was problematic that I didn’t notice that he came and was actually threw a meaningless glance at me. Well, I didn’t capture his attention, I guess. Didn’ look twice at me. Whatever.

 

      I was back to normal, which was teasing people again. Angie looked like Michael Phelps ina swimsuit with her yellow and black pants. It really reminded me of those weird swimwears.

 

     The shift ended and I went home… zzzz

 

     Watched American Idol. Jamie Foxx was the guest mentor this week. Well, it’s really obvious that Adam will win this season. The others are no match for him. I’m not siding up with Adam or what, but I don’t like him. He’s just so…I dunno… uhm, gay ?

          Well, it’s a surprise of a lifetime, I think.

So, last mercoledi, I went to work, because I signed in for RD ot. Too bad Tristan was absent. Actually, I dressed up for him. Haha. Kidding.

        After RD shift, I bought ham and cheese sandwich and mango smoothie for breakfast. I was on my way home when Mom told me (thur text)  that Uncle Nonoy was at Auntie Nene’s house. I waslike, “Are you serious? They’re in Canada!” One way to find out; I went there.

 I was surprised to see them, but they were more surprised to see me this big. Well, no comment. I’m eating normally as other people do.

Uncle was like, “Regine, you’re so … ” And I said, “No, no, don’t say it! Don’t say it!”

“Okay, ‘gine, you’re so thin! What did you do?” Yikes. I went inside the house and found Gab and Danielle. They were so big! Gab is up to my shoulders now, and Danielle’s hair was so long. When she was still a baby, her butt was so big, and now, I don’t see that butt anymore. She’s thin and pretty.

Ate She’s laptop was available, so I logged in ebaby and talked to admin. She said that Jahnize was overly smart these days, that’s why our IP address was banned. I pointed out to her that I don’t have anything to do with that. I tried reasoning out, and I bet she disconnected me. I can’t log in back. I told Doti, and she said she’s gonna kill admin. Oh gosh. I warned her that if she declared war with admin, she’ll get banned too.

I was chatting to Doti when Danielle went up to me, and sweetly offered her banana q (courtesy of Mom) and said, “Would you like a bite, Tita?” I was so shocked, and I blurted out, “Hey, I’m not Tita, I’m Ate! I just look like a Tita!” Gab laughed out loud at that.

I heard Gab said “Nagdadala lang kami ng lunch sa eskwelahan”, and I was like, “Say that again?”

And she repeated it in English. She defensively added, “Okay fine, I know I’m bad!” Actually, I found it cute.

Uncle and Mom sent me to bed because they know that I have a shift.

I woke up around 3 pm. I spend a little time talking with relatives. I asked Uncle why didn’t he tell us that they’re visiting, he just replied, “Actually, we all planned this, Ate She and Ate Nette know about the trip. We just wanted to make fun of you guys and see your reactions…” That is so Uncle Nonoy.

I was glad that they watch American Idol. Gab likes Allison, I like Matt, Uncle Nooy and Mom likes Adam. Well, Adam is good, and I think he’s gonna win, but I don’t like him. He’s not my type of artist He’s gonna win, I bet.

            Sad news. I logged in again, and read the e-report that Anoop and Lil were chucked out of idol. I’m sad for Anoop, not for Lil. I freakin’ so hate Lil, because she’s so undeserving. She always give out mediogre performances. Well, to win Idol, I guess, you must be very goodlooking, if not, oozing with sex appeal.

I went to work after dinner. Ate Nettersh drove me to office. We went upstairs to sign something for Maxicare. Ate Nette went to the locker area while I waited for her in the pantry. I got tired of waiting so I went to the floor, but I couldn’t make it through the glass door, because I don’t have access. Johanne saw me, and he was like, “You want to get in? Where’s your badge?” I told him it’s not working, and he swiped the badge for me.

I’ll tell you a secret; I like Johanne. I like him, but I’m pretty intimidate because he’s one of the bosses, plus there’s a small girl who follows him around and I think she’s his girlfriend.

I had a bad day, so I pretended to be sick and went to the clinic. I went home.

I was so lazy that I didn’t go to work. Instead, I stayed home, talking with my friends. I accidentally change my IP address, and I swear, I didn’t know how I did that. All I remember was I was desperately typing some random numbers that I found in a proxy website, and I clicked “apply”. My internet got disconnected and after few minutes, the connection was back, and when I checked the IP addressm it’s different… whoohoo!!!

Aprile Ventidue, 10:25 AM (mercoledi)

April 22, 2009 · Filed under present

     Wow. That’s one full hell of a week.

 

     After the Easter Sunday, we’re all back to work. Psh, as if we really had a holiday that time.

 

      So, okay, all of us were back to work. Mitch was back from maternity leave, and she’s wirejacked with me all day. There were new PA ABAYS on the floor, so we’re all scattered, but I bravely fought for my station and I showed them that I own it. I found a PA rep cute, but he wasn’t that tall. I heard his colleagues call him Tristan, but I actually heard him “My name is Dexter” over the phone.

 

      There, I stayed in my station, while the others relocated to the other part of the cluster. Arcel and Mommy Cecile stayed.

 

     Speaking of Arcel, she was pregnant, and sober. Yikes. She’s pregnant, to the fact that her relationship with her boyfriend is not that good. I was like, “Are you out of your mind?” Hello, she could’ve used contraceptives, or stayed away from sex. And she’s whining and complaining all the time. She brought that to herself, if you ask me.

 

      I started doing RD OTs again, because, I need to pay for the David Cook and David Archuleta concert ticket. If I just knew  that it’s that expensive, I should’ve cancelled it. Yikes. Well, I promised to Jeni, so I can’t really cancel it.

 

      Tristan ocassionally smiles at me whenever I see him somewhere around the office, but never actually smiles or greets me whenever I sit down next to him every time my shift starts. By the way, I don’t know what happened, but Jaymax the TL posted his name on the PC next to mine, the one wherein James used to sit.

 

       He talks to me ocassionally, but he just asks me questions, that I can never answer, by the way, because it’s all about PA. I wish, I can just turn to him for a chat, whenever it’s avail. Haha.

 

      And finally, we get a holiday on our own, just last domenica. Here’s how it went:

 

      Basically, we left after shift. Around four am, they offered a VTO and I took it, without any hint of hesitation, because I knew that I would need energy for the trip. So, I curled in the sofa inside the breakroom and slept until nine o’clock in the morning. I grabbed a quick breakfast in Jollibee while we waited for the others.

 

     We met at Jollibee. Jay was there, and he looks better with his short hair. He bought me a sundae while we waited for Jess. Jess was super late, and everyone was pissed at her.

 

      It was a long journey, and it was darn raining. After three and a half hours, we arrived at the destination. It was the most beautiful place that I’ve ever seen. It’s a rest house and resort, built on a mountain peak, and the was house literally built on a cliff. The pool was located at the lower part of the mountain, so, if you wanna swim, you need to climb down a long stairway.

 

     When we got there, I changed into my haltered swimsuit right away. I was the first one to dip in the pool. Angie took her two-year old son with us, and I could say that she wasn’t really having a good time because she was running after him everytime. I don’t like that kind of brat, if you ask me. He’s so fat and he likes to eat all the time. 

 

      We had dinner, and we all went swimming. It was a long day for me so I got out of the pool an went to bed. The next day, I got up eight o’clock in the morning, and I went swimming without eating breakfast. I helpe cooking lunch and breakfast because Maan told me that Sally was pissed off at us. After breakfast, we went swimming again, and I learned how to dive. I was the last person who got out from the pool and I got sunburned.

 

      I removed my swimsuit, and stood naked in front of the mirror, and there were tan lines. There’s a haltered shaped shade, and the rest of my skin was bright red. Oh gosh.

 

      We left the villa after lunch. I sat next to Ejay, and I told him about Carlo’s Mambo Jambo. He was laughing so hard, and Maan told that when I laugh, it’s as if that it’s the first time I heard the joke. Whatever.

 

      We stopped by at Colette’s to buy buko pies. I told Jay to buy because I wanna eat buko pie right away, without taking a slice from my own buko pie.

 

      We arrived around five in the afternoon, and it looked like it was seven in the evening already, because it was raining so hard. I went home, I just ate dinner and change to my office clothes and went to work.

 

      I saw Arcel, and she asked how our holiday went. She said that she wished she could come with us. Poor thing, she missed the fun, because she was confined in the hospital, because of gastritis, and she was pregnant too.

 

     We started the shift, and as usual, Tristan asked me another question about PA. And of course, I wasn’t able to answer him. I said, I don’t know because I’m not working in PA.

 

      I wasn’t feeling that well, so the callers saw (or heard)  the wicked side of me. My shoulders was sunburned, and it felt to hot that I wanna remove my clothes, including the undergarments.

 

      Looks like everyone was mad at TL, because he was so unprofessional. He wasn’t the person that I met six months ago. Whatever.

 

      Last night, I stayed up late to chat with my bestfriend. Yin was inloved with someone, and she referred to him as her “boyfriend”. The thing was, he was million miles away, and they just met each other in a chatroom. Worse, it’s in Yahoo chatroom, where all cyber filth and dirt live.

 

      She seeked my advice, and I told her what’s on my mind; everything online shouldn’t be trusted. She came to the right person, because I’ve been a resident chatter of ebaby, and I know how it goes. It’s all BS. Well, sometimes, it feels like you found “The One” but it’s never gonna work out. Chances are, one in a million. I told my bestfriend that it’s a good feeling when you think that there’s someone on the other side of the world thinking and dreaming of you, so go with the flow. Enjoy the feeling.

 

      I missed the episode where in Matt Giraud was voted off, and was saved by the judges. Americans are darn out of their minds. They should vote for Matt, because he’s so talented. The person who needs to be “OUT” is Lil Rounds, because she’s so boring. Like what I’ve said earlier, there are so many divas in the music industry already, and we don’t need another, especially an inferior one.

It’s Easter Sunday. Who cares? I don’t even get a holiday. I didn’t go to work last night because of head ache. And that massive head-ache was caused by lack of sleep.

I don’t know, but I can’t really sleep that well these days. Maybe, it’s because of the weather. Plus my brothers were noisy. I practically cried, because I really felt that they’re taking me for granted. Well, everybody takes me for granted. I’m useful to them that’s why they like me. I’m not wallowing on self-pity or something, but it’s really what I felt. Even my own mother takes me for granted. I’m just tired of being responsible. Since childhood, I had so many responsibilities on my shoulder. It’s just, so tiring. It’s not like that I didn’t enjoyed my childhood; in fact, I really do. But when I was a child, I really had a lot of responsibility, like washing all of our clothes, cooking, shopping for food, cleaning the house, et cetera. Mind that I have two brothers, but they never really helped me in anything.

Plus, I had a disaster-driven, deprived teenage life. It’s not that i’m complaining or something, because living with an unreasonable aunt taught me a lot. Like, again, responsibility. I’m responsible for myself, as well as her. She’s just there to financially back me up, but the moral support, the affections, she didn’t gave any. People thinks that I’m such a ba person, ’cause she’s telling that to everyone.

And now, I had a perfect job, and earning enough for myself. But responsibility is still there, and I thought I can get away from it. Bills come every month, and it appears that I don’t pay for it, but in fact, it’s all on me. Mom doesn’t have a job anymore, because of her health conditions. That’s the number one issue here. She’s not busy anymore, so she has all the time to look out for me. Heck no. She spends time nagging to my brothers, who had nothing to do but to hang around the house idly. It’s not that I’m complaining or something, but during their age, or even way younger, I was already working, while studying. For goodness’ sake, it’s summer! They should be out there, working, instead of watching TV and playing video games whole day.

I don’t know. It’s just so depressing. Everyone loves me if I have something they wanted. They take me for granted, and no one really appreciates my existence in this world. I’m afraid that I’ll be bitter for the rest of my life, although I’m trying not to. I just wanted to be taken care of, you know. The last time my family cared for me when I was dying because of dengue. Well, there had been instances in my life that they appeared that they cared for me. Like when I was dying of pneumonia, and choking and coughing to death. Or, maybe when I giving my deathbed speech, and they all thought that I was gonna die because of the severe pain due to endometriosis.

Anyways, I can get through this.I’ve been in tough situations before.

Work was fine, as always. Except that there’s alarming number of my team mates who are unhappy with my supervisors performance. Well, I really think that he’s cool, but sometimes, he’s so cool that he can’t really do his job well. Especially when taking sup calls and helping us. Honestly, I’d like to resort to repzilla Reeva of resolution team rather than putting my headset down and consulting him. Whenever I choose option two, I don’t get decent answers, and ending up lying to the caller or extending the call up to thirty minutes. In short, he’s not much of a help.

Plus, there’s this untimely log-out stuff. I was on a call, and he just went up to me and said, “log-out”. I was like, “I’m so dead.” You wanna know why how the heck I knew that I was in trouble? He never really logged me out to give a decent coaching, which I practically beg first before he gives it.

My instincts were right. I got a 78 %. Well, it’s one lazy work, but it’s definitely a hundred percent great customer service. I wanna kill whoever evaluated it.

Later that evening, he was there again, standing on my side, blaming me for the low stats of the team. Hello? Dude, I got a 78% I’m not a mediocre, or something, but it’s a 78! That’s my lowest score! I gave him a lot of perfect scores, plus I’m one of his best reps! His number one rep got 61%, his favorite rep, Xyza even got an auto-zero. So, he shouldn’t blame me for the low stats. In fact, I’ve gone slacky because whatever I do, I’m stuck with them.

Anyway, I don’t care. If I don’t get regularized, I got Barclays. I can always apply there, or I can go back to HSBC.I love my team, but I don’t really benefit from them. Plus, Lem is leaving to Thailand, Xyza gave birth to the baby, and there will be few of us left. Good luck.

By the way, Arcel is pregnant, despite of everything her boyfriend does to her. Though I’m getting used to her “farting-mouth”, I still get annoyed. Especially when she told me that she was pregnant, and she said it was a secret. Then, she started everyone else, and it’s suppose to be a secret. Whatever.

At least they’re cooler than my colleagues in FS.

By the way, Scott was out of the show. Haha. I knew it. I hate to be mean, but it’s a singing contest. I know that his story is really inspiring, but he’s not really that good.

I’m starting to love Adam. That rendition of “Mad World” threw me off. He’ll win the show, I swear.

Aprile Due, 2:56 PM (giovedi)

       Just finished watching 21.



       I don’t know what’s up with my ebaby account. It’s saying that I’m ”baned”. It’s suppose to be “banned”. Haha. Correct me if I’m mistaken. Yeah, whatever. I just wanted to go back to the room and chat with my friends. 


 


        I checked this morning, and yeah, I was banned, so I logged off and had lunch with the rest of my family. It’s really fun to eat with them, you know, ’cause they’re crazy. Haha. 


 


        After lunch, I watched 21. Ed watched with me, and he doesn’t really believe that I haven’t see the movie. 


 


21


 


Starring: Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth,


 


         The movie opens as Ben Campbell, a senior math major from MIT faces the Harvard Med School interviewer. It wasn’t going so well, and the interviewer asked him, “Can you tell me a story about your unique experience” or something like that. Ben started telling him about his “dazzling” experience:


 


      Ben really wanted to go to Harvard Med, but he can’t keep up with the expenses, which was $300, 000 all in all. He worked hard in a garment shop, and teams up with his friends to join 2.09 engineering competition.


 


      Professor Mickey Rosa noticed Ben’s brilliance during a class discussion and invited him to join a blackjack team, which consists of his schoolmates, Choi, Jill Taylor (his crush) Kianna and Fisher. The team plays strategically, under disguises, in Las Vegas during weekends, and Ben joins in, and he said he’s doing it just to pay for Harvard Me fees.


 


      Ben performs well and won large amount of money, on a weekly basis. Jill falls for him. Mickey Rosa kicked Fisher out of the team, because he caused trouble by getting drunk and insulting  He was carried away by luxurious life in Las Vegas, and started to drift away from his friends. His two friends, Cam and Terry kicked him out of the 2.09 team and he was deeply affected by it. Ben messed up at one game and Kianna signaled him to walk away. He lost 200, 000 and Prof was furious with him, demanding him to pay him back. They had a row, Prof walked away, but didn’t leave Las Vegas. The team plays without him, and he ratted them to the security.


 


       Cole Williams, the security chief got Ben Campbell and beated him up. After the beating, he made a deal with Ben: Bring Prof, play one night, and all winnings will be yours, and don’t come back again.


 


       Ben goes back to Boston, and found all his money, which he keeps in his bedroom ceilling, all gone. He suspected that Mickey Rosa was behind it. He reconciles with Mickey Rosa and his 2.09 friends. Terry and Cam came with them to Las Vegas, and they made a plan to turn out Prof. to Cole Williams.


 


       During a game, Cole showed up, and the team ran. The big players, Ben and Prof split up, and Ben switches the bag of chips, replacing it with a bag of chocolate coins. Cole caught Mickey Rosa and tie him into a chair. 


 


       Cole took the bag of chips from Ben at gunpoint and told him that he needs to work hard for the things he wanted. Jill and Ben walked away.


 


        Movie closed as Ben finished telling his story to the Harvard admin, who lets him in at Harvard Med.


 


      Well, it’s some sorta happy ending, minus the fortune. It’s a good movie, but not good enough. Plus, did I mention that I hate math? Anyway, Ben was smart and intelligent, and he’s quite a tech-savvy person; he should’ve thought of depositing his money in a bank, and it’s 10 times safer than keeping it in his bedroom ceilling. Tsk. I watched the film with my brothers, and they were like, “Hey, he said Jill was the prettiest girl in school? She wasn’t even close to the word ‘pretty’!” Sorry Kate, you’re not their type.

Watching American Idol, the best singing contest in the whole world. Week’s theme: Songs from the Year the Contestants Were Born.

1.) Danny Gokey: “Stand By Me” Cheesy arrangement, but good vocals.


2.) Kris Allen: “All I Wanna Do is Dance” Nice arrangement. Very groovy. He’s so cute, like a boyband, member! Haha. But I don’t like the performance. I mean, it’s really boring, and it’s just the same old performance he gives.

3.) Lil Rounds: “What’s Love Got to Do?” Same old performance. I don’t like it. Very karaoke. But she’s hot, though.Wrong song choice. I’d really love to see her.

4.) Anoop Desai: “True Colors” Mesmerizing! Beautiful!At last, Anoop redeemed himself. Very nice vocal! Well, what do you expect from a member of an acapella group? Indeed, he showed his true colors. I love the top, by the way.

5.) Scott MacIntyre: “A Search is Over” Pitchy. He’s talented, but it’s not enough. Simon was right, “It’s horrible… the song was atrocious.”Time to go home, dude.

6.) Alison Iraheta: “I can’t make you love me” Nice vocals. Reminds me of Kelly Clarkson meet Pink meet Stacey Ferguson with a mix of Gwen Stefani (what?) I like the vocals, but not the song. She could’ve chosen a better song, for goodness’ sake, it’s 90’s, there’s a lot of great songs during the 90’s.

7.) Matt Giraud: “Evening Lovers” Now, that suits him! At last, with a jazzy tone with a touch of JT meets Jason Mraz. He’s certainly back on top! Anyways, I have a list of songs here that I want Matt to sing:

1.) Apologize- One Republic

2.) Geek in the Pink- Jason Mraz

3.) All Alone- Chris Richardson

4.) Superman- Five for Fighting

5.) Cry Me a River- Justine Timberlake

6.) How to Save a Life- The Fray

7.) What Hurts the Most- Rascall Flats

8.) Made- Jaimie Scott


8.) Adam Lambert: Wow. He’s the next American Idol. Great vocal range, but be careful with the falsetto, dude. It doesn’t matter, he’ll win anyway. You know what, when you first look at the person, you’ll know if he’s a winner, like what happened to David Cook. When I first saw him singing “Happy together”, I really thought he’s the one. Adam is oozing with sex apeal, he has a great vocal range, and the song choices are not bad. Well, sometimes, he does have some bad song choices, but he makes it up for it by making that particular his own version.

TOP THREE PICKS: Adam Lambert, Matt Giraud and Dany Gokey

        Work was fine. I can’t sleep right, and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s the schedule, or maybe it’s the people who snore in the sleeping quarters. I caught Angie snoring to death, and when she woke up, I told her that she’s snoring while sleeping, but she denied. Duh. I pointed out to her that my racoon-like eyebags were caused by her loud snoring. Plus, the girl who wears long denim skirst everyday joined forces with her They’re really driving me crazy.

        I mentioned that I saw TL Ray, right. The next day, I saw Alex, one of our trainees in First Source, wherein I worked as a floor sup. He said that First Source will be opening a new account, which is Barclays. I heard it’s a collections account, and I really wanna try. But I remembered what happened to me and to other 300 plus employees. You know, they chucked us out illegally. Anyways, that’s like a year ago, or something. Plus. I didn’t take HSBC’s offer. I’m happy with Anthem Blue Cross.

        That’s just a thought, you know. But you know what, I think I’ll apply, and then, I’ll see if I can train for like, a week, and then, I’ll fail the exams and evaluations, but I’ll get paid anyway. But that’s just a thought.

         I finished “Shopaholic Ties the Knot”. It’s not as good as the first Shopaholic book, but it’s actually entertaining.

“SHOPAHOLIC TIES THE KNOT”

By:  Sophie Kinsella

 

         Becky was back in Manhattan, and she’s the best personal shopper in Barney’s. She’s living with Luke, and she loved everything about New York, except Luke’s real mother, Elinor.

        Becky and Luke travelled back to London to attend Suze and Tarquin’s wedding. Luke proposed to Becky during Suze’s wedding. They picked June 22nd for the date. Becky’s Mum started preparing for the wedding, and you know how corny Mums are.

        Elinor jumps in the scene and tells Luke that they should get married in New York, and forget about the wedding in “some unknown backyard”. So Becky was torn between two weddings, and she couldn’t cancel one of them.  Suze gave birth to Ernie, making Becky a godmother.

Aprile Sei, 10:52 AM (lunedi)

April 6, 2009 · Filed under present

The week had  been crazy. It’s super queuing and we don’t have time for chats. It’s so tiring.Anyways, it’s better than not to have a job at all.

Last mercoledi, I found Max online. Like me, he was banned in the chatroom, and he couldn’t log in for some time. He recommended that I use paltalk.com, instead of the old website we’ve been using. I wasn’t able to install it, because there were some problems in my PC.I let Max fix it, and before I go to work, he’s finished. I didn’t know that someone hacked my computer, and until now, they’re manipulating it. I think that’s the guy who hacked my first weblog. Anyways, it’s all over now, I got that blog shut down, and I relocated here.I was fascinated with the remote access, which Max used to get in my computer. I went to work, and I left him working on my PC.

On my way to work, I saw TL Ray (Yray). We had a talk, and I heard that First Source is gonna open a new account, which is Barclay (did I spell it right?). It’s a collection account, and they’re hiring new agents and TL. I thought about going back, but I changed my mind because I don’t trust First Source anymore. They screwed up by life before, and I’m not gonna let it happen to me again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Ray introduced me to his officemate, who was on the same van with us. He said, “Yung TL nito, kadikit ko, so she endorsed her to me.” Yeah, I remember, and he chose me to be the floor sup. But he didn’t really know what Fraya was saying behind his back. Oh gosh, I never wanna think about that, because I love them both.

Next day, I saw Mark, and he was running late. He has to go, so I waited alone for the next ride. I was on the van when I received a text from him, saying that he was sorry that he didn’t reply to my last text,  honestly, I don’t remember what, maybe it’s the tennis thingie or something, and he said that he’ll make it up to me. I hope so. I really missed him. But, what can I do? I can’t just grab and keep him around, I”m not the girlfriend, you know. Whatever.


Someone sat on my work station, and I was pretty pissed off. That started of my bad day, and it’s all messed up. Geez. That old woman was so irritating. Of all those stations, she picked mine, where obviously, there’s someone sitting there, with all those jackets, mug, papers and everything. Plus,my headset just stopped work. It was really a bad ay that I couldn’t just do anything but to cry. Thank God, James was there, and he fixed my headset. That’s why I love James; he does everything he can just to help out people. He’ll make a good TL someday. Unlike the one we have right now, who has nothing to do but to make fun of people, and when you ask him about something, he’ll just say, “So, anong gagawin jan?” Oh gosh. Obviously, I don’t know, that’s why I’m asking him.

 

Bad news, baby. Literally, it’s a baby. Well, Arcel is having another babe. I was on a call, and I saw her covered her mouth, trying not to puke.Yikes.

When she got back, she told me that she thinks that she’s pregnant. I was so sad for her. You know, she’s been struggling to raise her first baby, without the help of her one-full ahole of boyfriend, and now, there would be two under her responsibility. Honestly, I was like, “terminate the baby!” Oh gosh. I can’t believe that I thought of that. Well, like Mark said, abstinence is the key.They should’ve used birth control, or just simply stay away from sex.

She told Angie, and Angie girl was so gullible. That’s my problem with Angie. She doesn’t know that there are some things that you can’t say when you’re in the ladies’ room. You never know who’s inside those cubicles.

Saturday shift. I was over-break. Twice. I got a CAF. Oh gosh. Haha. Well, I just wanted to sleep.

Sunday shift: RD ot, actually. All of us where there, except for Carlo and Mommy Cecile. Man. I was so sleepy, because I wasn’t able to sleep at home.I begged for a VTO endshift, and thankfully, TL Janett gave one.

I logged out and James told me one of Carlo’s Mambo Jumbo:

Carlo’s Mambo Jumbo #1:

James said he heard one of Carl’s funny calls:

Carl: “Can I please have the pharmacy’s NPI number?”

Caller: 1234567521.

Carl: “Thank you. Can I please have the NPI of the pharmacy?”

Caller: I just gave it to you.

Carl: Okay, can I take it?

Carlo’s Mambo Jumbo #2:

Rance heard him

Caller: I need a vacation o/r for this patient.

Carl: Is the patient going outside or inside of the country?

Carlo’s Mambo Jumbo #3:

Caller: Hablas espanol?

Carl: No. Let me transfer you to a “Spanish-speaking- speaker”.

Carlo’s Mambo Jumbo #4:

I heard him:

Carl: Can you verify the member’s name and birthday?

Caller: It’s <bleeped> <bleeped>, and the birthday is <bleeped>.

Carl: I’m seeing here a very different patient name and a very different patient date of birth.

I logged off and went to the sleeping area. I slept there for like, four hours. Jessica waked me up around seven in the morning. I saw Angie and Arcel sleeping on the bean bags. They gave up too. Haha. We went home and I dropped by at Fruitas from Babbot’s Farm to get a mango smoothie. Goodness, there’s no smaller size available rather than 32 oz, that can satisfy me. I was forced to buy it, since there’s no other size available. We went home and I logged in.

Before I started checking my mails, I went out to deliver some pastillas to Ate Marge. I now dominate the monopoly of pastillas. My officemates tease me; they said that I never ran out of pastillas to deliver because I get those from my boobs. Yikes.

       Ha! Ha! Well, Megan Joy Corkey was sent home packing. I like her, because she’s cute and all, but she doesn’t really deserve to be on the show. She should try her luck in America’s Next Top Model or Make Me a Supermodel.

        I just ran through votefortheworst.com, and I read a fresh article that Megan’s brother, CJ, yelled “Broken Record!” when Kara Di Guardi commented on Megan’s performance. To read the whole story, go to www.votefortheworst.com.

 

 

       The bottom three were Anoop, Alison and  Megan. Yikes. You know what, I really like Anoop, but he always let me down, with really bad song choice. Geez. Now, I’m tired of being his fan I had enough. And for La Princessa Mariachi, I really like her to see her go home. She’s great, she’s young, but she doesn’t have what it takes to be the next American Idol. When the heck did you see the potential American Idol who’s always in bottom three every week? Once you get in the bottom three, you’ll never make it to the top. You need to be consistent. Have you seen David Cook or Kelly Clarkson in the bottom three? Never.

 

 

         After watching American Idol, I went to bed. I decided that it’s early to go to sleep, so I finished “Shopaholic Takes Manhattan”.

 

 

SHOPAHOLIC TAKES MANHATTAN

       Becky was now dating Luke Brandon. She’s now working in Morning Coffee, for a regular segement wherein she gives out financial advices. She’s the show’s finance guru.

 

       Tom married Lucy, and Becky went alone to the wedding. Luke was four hours late, and everyone thought she’s just making up the story that she’s going out with Luke, because she’s so bittter to the fact that Tom was getting married to Lucy. Luke arrives at the last minute, and everyone was wowed. That’s when he broke up the news; he’s moving to New York, because he’s opening up a branch there, and he’s taking Becky with him.

 

 

       They went to New York, and Becky shopped non-stop, as usual. She lied to Luke, saying that she went to this and that museum. Luke left the London branch to Alicia Bitch Long Legs.

 

 

        Luke’s backers backed out because The Daily World published a nasty article about Becky and her debts. Turned out that Alicia was the source, and she was putting up her own PR company, the Bridges and Billington. Luke blamed Becky, so Becky went back to London. Becky was fired from Morning Coffee, and she was replaced by Clare Edwards from Successful Saving, her ex-officemate.

 

 

        Mel phoned Becky to pick up a parcel in Brandon Communications. Becky found out that Alicia was a traitor, and she’s spreading the word to the employees that Brandon Communications will close. Becky called Michael Ellis, Luke’s friend, and told him to tell Luke what’s going on. Luke goes back to London and fires Alicia and sues them, because they poached a client, which was the Bank of London. He took them by surprise, and search their desks on the spot and found the evidences.

 

 

       Becky sold all her stuff and went back to Manhattan to start all over again, and she worked at Barnes as best shopper. By the way, Suze and Tarquin start making out. Yuck. They were distant cousins, for goodness’ sake. Luke followed her and they made up with each other.

 

 

       Not as exciting as the first book, but I simply loved it. It was so entertaining. 7 out of 10 stars.

Aprile Uno, 8:12 PM (mercoledi)

April 1, 2009 · Filed under present · Tagged

      Today is Ryan  Carl’s and Ed’s graduation day. Ed is really weird, you know. I’m kinda see myself into him, ’cause he’s really anti-social. Well, maybe not, but he’s not really the frequent-go-out person. He doesn’t go to the fieldtrip, prom and graduation. I wasn’t worried about Ryan ’cause at least, he considred going to the graduation today.

 

 

        Well, I can’t help but to worry. I don’t want Ed to end up being labeled as freak, like me. Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with that, and he’s just being himself, but I’m just worried that what people would say will affect him. You know, just like what happened to me. Well, I think he can deal with it because he’s a tough boy, unlike me, a weakling.

 

 

        So, we stayed home all day, while Ryan went to their graduation.

 

 

        Before going home, I went to SM Molino, and hauled off all the girly magazines. I bought them and read them before going to bed. Actually, even if they’re girly magazines, all people here in this house read them.

 

 

         Still watching American Idol:

 

 

1.) Anoop- “Caught Up” I don’t like that song. He sounded like a copycat.I really like him, but that was a bad song choice. Geez, when can Anoop finally choose a right song?

 

 

2.) Danny Gokey- “What Hurts the Most” That’s a tough song, I like it, and he did well. It’s just, you know, Danny was pretty dramatic lately.

 

 

3.) Alison Iraheta- ”Don’t Speak” Good song choice. But what’s up with the hair? Oh gosh. I really ahted it. I know the outfit doesn’t have to do anything about her performance, but it was really really disturbing. She nailed the song, though.

 

 

4.) Scott Macintyre: “Just the Way You are” What’s so special about that performance? It’s the same every week. Just go home, man. I’m really sorry. Plus, I said, fix the hair, not ruin it. Haha. Sorry, I’m so mean.  

 

 

5.) Matt Giraud: Bad song choice. Well, if he sang the Fray’s “How to Save a Life”, he could’ve done better. I kinda agree with Randy and Simon; One Republic songs will suit him, especially “Apologize”. Or anything Justin Timberlakis or Robin Thickish.

 

 

6.) Lil Rounds: “I Surrender” She sucked. Oh no. I know she’s good and all, but that was a very bad song choice. She should’ve sang another Mary J Blidge song, since it’s personal choice week.

 

 

7.) Megan- She’s really pretty. I wish it’s a bueaty contest, because if it is, she’ll win. Unfortunately, it’s not. The voice was pitchy, and that was really bad song choice. I agree with Kara, she’s definitely in trouble.

 

 

8.) Adam- “Play the Funky Music” He’s really handsome. But what’s up with the song choice? it’s so corny. And the get-up was even worse. Get rid of the big hair, man. At least, there’s some improvements: he doesn’t have the eyeliner anymore. Just take of that earrings and dye your hair back to blonde, like the rest of your family. It’s so karaoke, I agree with Simon.

 

 

9.) Kris Allen- ”Little Sunshine” He’s so cute (cute like a boyband member!) but he could do better than that. He’s so talented, by the way.

 

 

        Work was fine. As usual, I’m facing the never-ending drama of those pharmacists and pharmatech who needed to be rescued from the mean-machines that they can’t handled. Sometimes, I really think of faxing them my hand-outs. Haha. But at least, I’m getting better at lying. Well, not actually lying, but sorta, kinda. Because I can’t just simply tell the truth, “Oh, I’m sorry, I can’t help you with your problem.” Instead, I really need to give out a “real-sounding” solution to their problems, even if it’s a hopeless case. As much as I want to, I really wanted to help them, because those are sick people out there, but what can I do? I’m just the rep. If I can only be a princess, who’s rich and powerful, I can all help them.

 

         But I’m really happy because my relationship with my team mates is getting better. I started to appreciate the existence of the girl who never shuts up, who, by the way, was always helping me looking out my lost or stolen stuff. Haha,

 

 

       You know, in the resort, I lost my newly bought orange flip-flops. I wasn’t really worried about that pair of flip-flops, because I don’t like it, and I just bought because I don’t have one to use in the resort. i was like, “Yeah, it was missing.” and dippe back in the pool. But she really looked for it, and she found it, worn by someone, and she really retrieved it for me. 

 

         And then, the other day, I was really having a bad day, because someone stole my headset, nad replaced it with a malfuntioning one, or not really working at all. When I told her that, she was like, “I’ll help you find it, and she/he’s gonna pay for what he did.” I told her that there’s no need for that, because TL changed the batteries, and it’s working fine.
