Saturday Fun Machine

It was one hell of a Saturday weekend that I had last June 30. My early day began at 12am on the floors of the Emergency Room at Makati Med where I waited for almost an hour to have my eyes checked. I'm really glad that I had my trusty cellphone and of course Rednax and his swollen lip story to keep me entertained during that time. Believe it or not, but an ant got into my eye, and because of that (and due to the fact that I was trying to remove the damn thing myself a few hours before I went there), my eyes were hurting, the slow hurting kind. Thank goodness, it was removed! My eyes felt a bit numbed and kinda red, and it was still a bit painful, but nevertheless it felt better. Thank goodness I have maxicare!

We then celebrated my friend's Astro's birthday that afternoon by having lunch at Dampa (the one in Macapagal Ave). We actually had a seafood pigout and hogged (actually , they did!) the videoke microphone for the entire 2 1/2 hours we stayed there. Sinisterbucks also came (to Astro's delight!) but was a bit tipsy because of the beer he drank at a party he just been to before joining us. It was fun since the most of the original Troopers were there, and I couldn't help but feel nostalgic about it as we left the place. I soon realized how much we've grown, how pretty much we lead our own lives, but still, we managed to be there for each other, never failing to let our presence felt to each other.


After that hearty meal. we went to the Mall of Asia to watch Transformers the movie. Katqt, CoolAmy and Kakeru went ahead since Katqt has to be with Nadj for a baptism, CoolAmy, has to sleep for that night's shift, and Kakeru was off to celebrate he and Al's monthsary together. (eww!) Hehe!




Transformers was really cool! I have to admit that I really enjoyed the movie. Hooray to Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay for giving it justice! I was thrilled to see the autobots and decepticons come to life.. although there were some minor flaws in the movie, I still give it an 88%, and I could say that it was one of the best movies I've seen so far for this year!

Some of us went to work (with Techy rushing off after the movie, and Jaggy being a few minutes late!), most of us went home with Astro and Sinisterbucks going off to different directions.. while Rednax and me were stuck in a bit of traffic. I felt the excitement and lack of sleep catching up on me at that moment when I was at the FX cab while listening to Rednax as he tells me his amusing stories about his friends. It suddenly rained but I still went home dry since Rednax, the ever gentleman that he is, lent me his "manual" umbrella.. I actually came to work with barely 2 hours of sleep, with tons of deliverables to finish (which went to waste eventually but that's a different story!) but what the heck, it was worth it!

Sad to Say Goodbye

"Tin, nagsumbit na ako.. last week ko na nga to eh.." "Ows?"
"Oo nga.."
"Ayyy..." (Hug!)


That was what transpired when Keith told me one last Saturday that he already passed his resignation and this was going to be his last week. It never occured to me the gravity of his decision it until now, when I realized that I won't be able to see much of him anymore. Yeah, I know that this is inevitable, that we really can't expect that we'll be staying in PS forever, and that he might have better opportunities outside, but it's quite different to see someone who's close to you go, and you know that he's not going to be there all the time anymore whenever you need him.

Keith was may batchmate from New Hire, all the way to Experian.. I remember the first time I met him when he joined our noisy ,little group ( DuaNE, eD aND mE) on our first day for lunch and Duane joked about his age. Hehehe...but we then became good friends when we were already full pledged agents for Experian. I know him as sort of a law abiding citizen ( I remember when he refused to cross the intersection of SM Dept Store to Ace Hardware if he was not in the pedestrian lane..with a dash of perv in his blood (my sister's wet panties anyone?) =)

Hmm.. the best times I probably remember Keith are for those times when he cheers me up whenever I'm down in the dumps..Even if he can be the crankiest person ever..

Like that time when I cried when I was an agent when a supervisor reprimanded me for taking my break without asking permission.. and I went down to the 30th floor and I was so upset, I cried. He treated me to french fries At McDonalds afterwards.

and there was this time when I was so upset because I discovered something heartbreaking about my so called lovelife that really messed up the illusion.. he just kept me company, and we just went to Starbucks and talked to me about it..

and of course the time when he brought me flowers for my birthday!

The times when he would visit me at JG..

and of course, he was the one I bug whenever Alex is not around.. and now Saturdays will be so lonely now since Alex will be rarely around now.. (due to Tennis matches,his budget, and his upcoming review for his board exams)

At our Bible Study today, someone said, 'You'll never know the value of someone, until they're gone.." I suddenly realized how valuable my dearest friend really is.. and now,I feel like crying.. I will certainly miss him terribly..

..and now another one expressed his sentiments of going away.. for good.. Great! Saving the worst for last!

Back for Good..

C'est la Vie!

Life is Kinda Nice After All

I've been on a break from blogging for quite some time because I got into trouble for it. So what's a blogger to do if her privacy and right are invaded? Change the url of your blogsite and keep the postings flowing...

Anyways, it's been a month since I last posted anything here and to keep you updated, let me fill you in on what I've been up to...

*I was regularized as a Team Supervisor effective September 1. No more feelings of uncertainty and doubt. Atleast not too much anymore.

*I just celebrated 3 years of stay at PeopleSupport as well. Another year? Do I hear the ticking of a Kenneth Cole watch? I don't think so..

* Got the award for being the Best Team for August. After months of being last amongst the micro team rankings, my team (MCROCKERS) got the highest rated team for last month..and hopefully if I get to fix our team's SAF, we will be gettig this month as well.

*Was the highest rated supervisor for August as well. =)

*One of my agents was promoted as Supervisor Trainee for a different account effective this October 15.

*Became a full pledged popcorn eating,soda drinking, movie buff for the whole month of September.

* Cancelled membership with Fitness First. Gained weight. Hoping to lose it by October.

*Sold my stocks...Should've not done it since it's much higher right now and the dollar rate is lower. Still finding time to bring my check to the bank.

*Bought the entire season of DVDs of TV shows that I want to watch on Saturdays, and come Sunday, watch all the episodes the whole day.


*Always had a great weekend for the entire month of September. was always looking forward to it all month.. sigh! =) Hopefully, it would still be the same for next..


Hmm.. I can't think of anything more. But basically, the goals that I want to achieve as a Supervisor that I have listed in my mind back then are already coming to life one by one, and I'm so proud of it. Thanks to God! Now how about giving me the same for my personal life as well... =) Well, a girl can't wish for too much..
