Episode 10: Getting upset

2006-04-07T11:19:00.000+08:00

I woke up at around 2:00 AM this morning and with a bit of a headache and disappointment on what happened to American Idol last night, I went back to bed again and sleep. I was awaken by “warning – Incubus” on my ipod, set it as alarm. It was really a Warning! It’s 3:00 AM already!!! As I was done fixing myself for work, I called up the guard post for a cab. I was planning to go to the gym today and because of what had happened, I wasn’t able to prepare for my stuffs. Oh yes.. I know… I should be preparing for my work out things at night before I go to bed… but what can I do, I got irritated to the A.I. result.

What happened to you America? You’ve did it again!!!

The last time I got irritated (because of the show result) was the time when Fantasia wasn’t still the winner of American Idol… Actually, my final three that time was Fantasia, Latoya London and Jennifer Hudson.. Yes, I know… what can I do?, no good male performer… That’s what you call, the battle of the DIVAS!!! I was so upset one night because I haven’t watch the Barry Manilow show… Then, when I watch the elimination night, I was shocked, together with the audience, the judges and even Barry Manilow for the result… My 3 bets are the bottom 3 for that night!!! I was very upset on the result as they casted the votes and it was Jennifer Hudson who needs to leave the competition. I can’t believe that Jennifer was elected to move out.. I can’t believe America spoil the competition by ousting one of the power houses that season. I remember that Simon onced commented, after Jennifer sang “Circle of Life during the Elton John night”, that she is creating a battle of the DIVAS!!!

History repeats itself… Last night, again, it was my 3 bets that were casted as the bottom 3… Paris, Mandissa and Elliot... It was only Paris whom I didn’t like the performance. She keeps keeps on shouting on the entire song. Though, Mandissa’s song selection that time was not the best for that theme… but still, she have showed her real talent, her unbreakable, power house voice… Elliot, why I picked Elliot? Well, he has a great voice… very versatile and I think the best male vocals they ever had… Again, America ruins the competition… disqualifying Mandissa on the run… How can you overthrow such talent? I don’t know how Americans thinks before dialing the 1866 number…. America... WAKE UP!!! This talent is your future billboard topnotcher!!!

Episode 9: Nightmare

2006-03-31T11:48:00.000+08:00

Late at night when all the world is sleeping I'd stay up and think of you And I'd wish on a star That somewhere you are thinking of me too Cuz I'm dreaming of you tonight Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be Then here in my room, Dreaming about you and me Wonder if you even see me And I wonder if you know I'm there If you looked in my eyes Would you see what's inside? Would you even care? I just wanna hold you close But so far, all I have are dreams of you So, I wait for the day and the courage to say How much I love you(Yes, I do) I'll be dreaming of you tonight Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be Then here in my room, Dreaming about you and me Ahhh...I can't stop dreaming of you Ahhh...I can't stop dreamin Late at night when all the world is sleeping I'd stay up and think of you And I still can't believe that you came up to me And said, "I love you; I love you too" Now I'm dreaming with you tonight Till tomorrow, and for all of my life And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be Then here in my room, Dreaming with you endlessly...

Episode 8: Dans Memoriam de monsieur Lacoste

2006-03-24T04:20:00.000+08:00

PARIS - Bernard Lacoste, who spent more than 40 years at the helm of the Lacoste clothing empire best known for its crocodile-embossed polo shirts, has died, the company said Wednesday. He was 74.

Lacoste, who is widely credited with turning the family sportswear business into a major apparel company, died Tuesday in a Paris hospital, said company spokesman Philippe Lacoste, nephew of Bernard Lacoste.

The family did not provide the cause of death, but said Bernard Lacoste had been suffering from a "serious illness" for more than a year. He stepped down last year as president.
Bernard Lacoste succeeded his father, tennis player Rene Lacoste, as president of the Paris-based clothing manufacturer in 1963.

The Lacoste polo shirts adorned with the little crocodile have for generations been the company's staple. The famous insignia comes from the father, whose nickname was "Le Crocodile."

The nickname apparently originated when Rene Lacoste admired a crocodile suitcase in a store window, and his Davis Cup captain promised to buy it for him if he won an important upcoming match. He never got the bag, but U.S. sports writers took up the name because it described his style on the court.

The company was founded in 1933. Bernard Lacoste presided over its international expansion and added women's and accessory lines to the company's sporty look.

Bernard Lacoste, born in Paris on June 22, 1931, handed over the reins of the company to his younger brother Michel in September but remained "honorary president."

He is survived by his wife, Sachiko, and three children from a first marriage.

If I didnt roam around our station, I was not caught by our Admin Manager and forced to join the meeting for the up coming Family Fun Day!!! I am not planning to attend the event since it might fall on my loving nephew's birthday... but I think Ms. Michelle moved it to May 7 since Ateneo is only available at that time... I was again appointed as the head of the food committee... and again this means, I will be harrased and my gym schedule will be all messed up because of the food tasting and meetings!!! Oh I hate myself!!!

Well, after the meeting I just went to our area and found out that my friends are just hanging around, I asked them to go with me and eat early dinner... I am on my after 6 diet and its doing fine, I have to have to have to have to eat dinner early for my diet... after 6 PM, I am already an anorexic.. I cant take in foods anymore, only liquids!!! lol ..... we, myself, chester, bhambie and my e little crocos (I am wearing two lacoste items this day, lol), headed to Jack's Loft and ate the usual... Chicken stir fry and calamares.. we shared for fish bowl iced tea and have water..... then we texted our friends, sheila, ems and sally to hop in to Jacks Loft and share our food...

I am back in the office now and checking out the new Lacoste site... well I missed this site because my old workstation doesnt have flash in it... I cant view it at home since I dont have computer... at least for now.... (seems like forever) :(

Here's the new site:

Episode 4: The dilemma of a Call Center of Agent

2006-02-18T04:23:00.000+08:00

It's around 4:25 in the morning and I am sleepy. Who in the hell will not feel sleepy in a Saturday morning!!! Most of us are still sleeping, not worrying what life leads them since its weekend... most of us are still up and still clubbing... most of us our in someone elses house doing thesis (for students) or still fooling around with the person you meet last night... but for me, I am here in the office waiting for my shift to start and feel sleepy!!! Well who is to be blame??? No one but me... I choose to work in a call center company and in signing the contract, I already accepted to myself that I cannot decline whatever schedule workforce will give me... well, lucky me, I have been to the morning shift for almost 2 years already (well, at least some other months are in mid shift 11:00 AM)... Well I am so thankfull for my Team Leaders...

I always get this thinking on where should I go this year... Last year, we went to Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia... This was planned to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary of our missery in our company... lol... just kidding... that was a blast!!! though tiring, but fun!!!

Here are some pictures:

JA, Jules, Heide and I at Wheelock Place, Orchard Road... this was taken at the entrance of the Mall after we bought Sheila's ibook accessories

Jhel, Heide, JA, Me and Jules at Hardrock cafe in Orchard

The group with Rico (Jhel's husband, Bex and Sally)... On our way to Indonesia...

Lunch in Batham, Indonesia...

Inside the Cable Car on our way to Genting Highlands... Mind you guys.. I would highly recommend this place to all of you who are planning to visit Malaysia... to know more about Genting, click http://www.genting.com.my ...

In front of Genting Hotel...

Inside the First World hotel reception when we are confirming our hotel reservation.

At Kenny Rogers right beside coffee bean..

This year, I am planning to go back, even alone, in Singapore since I have to buy something. I need this stuff so that I can start the future plans that I am longing to push through... After Singapore, I am planning to go to Macau then fly to Main China to visit The infamous Great Wall Of China!... Then hop to Hongkong for my last stop to check out Disneyland... I know this will require lots of money, but I will try my best to acquire those requirements...

Well, I really don't have plans to go out of the country this year but I really HAVE to HAVE to HAVE this stuff!!! The only reason why I need to buy this in Singapore is because its less expensive there than in the Philippines... I know, it will cost me much if I buy it in Singapore (due to tickets and accommodation)... but hey! I also need to have a vacation.. right? right!

I am also thinking to just fly directly to Macau and not go to Singapore since Weng, Eva's boyfriend will arrive in July. Its cheaper of course in the US than in Singapore... but I might not receive freebies and free upgrades... But still, that depends if I have enough money already...

Oh... if only I have money right now... :(

2006-02-14T10:27:00.000+08:00

What shoulud I blog about? I dont know.. I woke up at around 3:00 AM and prepare for the day and took a cab to go to the office... I hate to do this now since I am trying to find ways on saving up money... I am planning to buy something for myself to start my future plans.. well I don't want to disclose yet all the things that I want to buy or I NEED to buy because it might ruin the excitement...

I scanned my magazines yesterday and I found this bracelet that I really like the first time I saw it... And the great thing with it is its not expensive even if it has gold or diamonds in it..

This is the Morellato Link Double Bracelet... I saw this one at Metro HIM magazine.. the one with John Lloyd Cruz on the cover... I am thinking to get the one with diamond and color black... But still, I am not considering to buy it now since I have to cut-back my expenses... :(

Episode 2: The tale of the lost sweetness of Sugar Towne

2006-02-11T09:43:00.000+08:00

Here I am again in the office doing nothing but monitor the CMS, Call Management System. Yes, I am working at a Technical Call Center Industry in Quezon City in which I've been staying in this company for more than 3 years now. I can say that with my stay in this company, the only thing that I am treasured of is, aside from the Knowledge and the recognition I received last Christmas Party 2004 in which I was selected as one of the Employee of the Year... thank you... flattered... lol, the friendship that I built with my co-employees. I got to know a lot of personalities in which I considered as my friend. I don't want to enumerate them because i might forgot to include this person that may lead to, you know, "tampuhan"---> you know they might got mad at me...

For now, I am planning to pay a tribute to one of my favorite friend in this company... He just recently had his 27th birthday last February 9... Hale from Sugar Towne, yes its with an E, Batasan Quezon City, he is loved, was loved , still love, the favorite, the most awaited to be a Point Person and VAR Technician of the Escalation Team... The person who is so fond of buying immitation items as well as pirated things... a person who won't buy anything, shoes.. clothes that has a price of more than Php 300... A person who will beat Oxford and Webster for their vocabularies, A vegetarian who eats pepperoni and bacon and wont eat carrots... A person who is well loved by his mother... to the point that his mother won't accept to herself that her son is gay, lol, ... a person who's after anything for FREE, a person who wont buy expensive things but DVDs... what else? NOTHING else... guys, let's all welcome.... MR. JOHN PAUL SORILLA....

Well I know, all of you will gonna ask me on why did I befriend this person... All I can answer is this person has pure heart and always makes me laugh... yes he makes me laugh... even if he is not doing anything... just looking at him... i always end up laughing my ass out... wait till you hear his vocabularies...

ME: Japoks, you're fat..

JAPOKS: Heller! Look at yourself, mirror...

another one...

Im wearing some Armani Exchange shirt, and he told me...

JAPOKS: Is that original?

ME: Yes,

JAPOKS: Oh para namang hindi...

ME: I don't buy immitations, like your, you're just jealous

JAPOKS: I'm not jealous, nina (because of nina's jealous)

hahaha well if it's not that funny for you, well in our case, we had a blast whenever he utters a lot of new vocabularies... we even immitate his accent and diction, without knowing it that we are speaking like Japoks already...

These pictures were taken yesterday to celebrate his birthday... oh no no no no no... we paid for our own bills... he ordered his 10-inch pizza of cheese and bacon... yes he claims that he is VEGETARIAN... that's him, JA, Sally, Sheila and me (left to right)

This was taken the time we went to Japok's residence. I got a chance to strike a smile with this fancy collection of him... These are all orginals... at least all that you can see in this picture...... CALLING MR. EDU MANZANO... GIVE ME A CALL IF YOU WANT TO GET IN TOUCH OF THIS PERSON... don't be so amazed on what you see behind me... all the fancy pirated ones are on the next level of this desk... I tell you... 1000+ titles of pirated films.....

Of course, Japoks is a LOVED person by many... he also give love to his friends especially to these two men of his life....

Meet his number 1 LOVE... Darwin Retuya... this man is his great love because, according to him, he is sweet, nice person and loving husband... yes audience... he is married!

Next is Nelson Reynon... this guy abuses Japoks.. not because they are living together and Japoks became a battered live-in partner, but because this guy keeps on hurting Japoks and playing tricks on him... he keeps on grasping Japoks tits, oh yes, all of us do that... lol!!!

Eventhough, these two guys hurt Japoks feelings (not that serious), he still loves them....

Meet another Japoks lovely friend Janays.. its actually Janice Rivera... this girl just recently tender her resignation in our company and will move to DELL...

... this was taken inside the Cinema 4 of Gateway movie house... this is where Japoks bumped into the wall because he didn't notice that you have to turn left for you to push the door... don't blame him, the movie house including the hall that leads to the theatre itself is really dark.... we watched Little Manhattan....

Well, all i can say is japoks is a nice friend to have and I will treasure the friendship that you shared with me... though, you've done lots of illegal things and always deceived me, i will still treasure you as a friend... Our day will not be better if its not with your presence...

Again, belated HAPPY birthday to you... JAPOKS!!!

Episode 1: The maiden issue

2006-02-10T08:16:00.000+08:00

I woke up at around 3:00 AM early today, which is normally 1-hour late from my usual waking hour. I used to get up at around 2:00 AM, which is enough for me to eat my breakfast, if there is, take a bath, take some time to watch TV, look at a certain point in my room, think, and arrived at the office before 4 quarter. My shift starts at 5:00 AM and I always wanted to come in the office or school, way back then, at least 1 hour or 15 minute less before the bell rings or should I say to beat the barcode time, for now.

I watched American Idol, Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition and Grammy's last night that is why I got a bit late to wake this morning. Well still, I am not late. I arrived at exactly 4:34 AM and read out bryanboy's blog---->http://www.bryanboy.com. As I was watching the audition of the American Idol last few weeks ago, one very, AS IN, very talented girl auditioned for a ticket to hollywood. Her name is Paris Bennett and she awed Paula Abdul, Randy and, believe or not, Simon Cowell. He even say "Where have you been hiding?". She took her second audition on the elimination round and I was WOWED!!!, what a term? lol, on her performance! She sang can't fight the moonlight by Leanne Rymes from the movie Coyote Ugly. I love this song because of the movie. But I most like the version of the lead star... forgot her name... I heard her rendition of this song and it was really good! I hope she'll make it to the top 10.

As for the Grammy's, I was amazed of Madonna! How old is she? 40+, 50+ but GOD, she still has a great body! She performed last night at the Grammy for the opening with Gorillaz and I accept now that she is really a TOTAL PERFORMER! Even my friend George, whom I was talking to last night while watching the TV, agreed that she really can sing and dance. Her voice is not changing and still she has a great thighs.

As the primer of this blog, I included this picture with my Lacoste Grey body bag. This bag was a gift from a friend Popo last Christmas. Some of the pictures included on this episode are taken early today with my officemates.

This bag is actually a body bag but since its too small for me to strike it up for its use, i, instead, use it as a shoulder bag. This carries all my things and stuff to the office.

Thanks Popo!!!

Here are some pictures that you can check on:

Me, Al, Bhambz, Sally, Nelson, Ms. Jepay and Erms

Till here.. Will go home in 45 minutes..
