taking a break..

Today is my rest day. The one day of the week i have for myself and can spend any which way i want to. I've had a few ideas as to where i can go today but i end up here, at home all day. I watched tv all day and tried to sleep at the same time. It's fun to just leave everything behind for a day and think of nothing but mindless fun like tv shows and blog posts and celebrity buzz etc.

Work can really be toxic if you make it your whole life. There's got to be something to look forward to after so that your mood does not depend on your work life. So that even if work provides a heavy environment to be in, there's an alternative place to be. It means being able to give enough, but learning to keep something for yourself.

"Give love on Christmas day.." Hehe. Inside joke.

ms. sungit

Medyo napapansin ko ang pagiging masungit ko lately.. Hindi naman sa magkakaroon ako or something, sadyang madali lang akong magalit lately. Especially sa work. Actually, hindi naman galit talaga, more on pagtataray at pagmamaldita lang talaga. Haha. Nahahawa na ako sa cashier kong maldita! Joke. Mas nasi-stress ba ako ngayon? Or mas nakakainis lang talaga pag morning shift compared to closing shift? After ng pagmamaldita moment ko, i immediately feel bad about my behavior. Wala lang, in the heat of the moment lang talaga ang nangyari.. Hayy tatanda talaga ako ng maaga pag ganito ako ng ganito.. I need to relax.. Friends? =)

crybaby

I never cry in public.
..well almost never.

A few days ago, i embarrassed myself in front of some of my PHI Q.Ave team. Bigla akong umiyak. As in yung iyak na ang hirap pigilan, ganun. My eyes were all red from the tears i refuse to shed. Ask my friends from college who've known me for 4 years, most of them would tell you that they've never seen me cry. When i think about it, maybe i cried once or twice pa lang in public. Pero yung hagulgol effect, maybe not since i was young. Grabe, i can't believe how hard it was not to cry that day. I know i looked like a fool. Here i was the supposed leader of the store and then with one bad incident, i go running to my office and cry.

The whole time they were asking me what's wrong, thinking it was because of an almost-left-check amounting to P2800. Tingin ko it was a combination of things that happened not only during the day but during my whole stay at the store and my work responsibilities. Lumabas lang talaga lahat nung instance na yun--lahat ng sama ng loob, lungkot, inis, galit, stress etc etc sa work and everything else (but mostly sa work). I'm a person who's really hard on myself. It's not that i expect things to be perfect, but i'm easily frustrated when i know i can do so much better but i end up disappointing. I'm a people-pleaser talaga. Masakit for me pag may iba akong taong nasasaktan. Mahirap pala maging ganun sa trabahong ito. I need to build a thicker skin and learn to separate my personal feelings and business. Ang sensitive ko pa naman. Hayy nakakahiya talaga pag naalala ko. :p Oh well, lesson learned. Never again.

You're certainty, it's like armour. I wish I had that.

..wishlist:

- sana matapos na ang adjustment period ko sa work. Sana fast forward na sa point na gamay ko na ang gagawin at hindi na kailangan ng masyadong guidance from superiors. Wala lang, less stress kasi and more time to improve.
- sana madaling mag-erase and edit in real life.
- sana masanay na ako sa 3:30am wake up call pag opening shift ako.
- sana no more complaints this coming weekend.
- sana i can see my highschool and college friends more often. we're all so busy na ba tlga na matinding planning and scheduling pa ang kailangan just to see each other? ang sad hehe we're really getting old ;p
- sana magkaintindihan na lang ang lahat.
- sana enjoy ang every day ko sa work. hangga't enjoy pa ako sa work at gusto ko pa ginagawa ko, walang problema and pagod at stress. =)


Happy start of Christmas Season everyone! ^_^

wow. *edited :p

Just when i thought na..
Just when i thought wala na talaga..

=(

Let me be sad today..
Then tomorrow, i'll (hopefully) wake up to a brand new day.,.




Let me be mushy and gross na rin today,
let me mourn the death of my college "chever" (hehe) for good.
Time to move on na tlga.. Hayy..




Friends! Pa-hug!!!



Haha. Para akong baliw. Dbale ngaun lang toh..
Bukas, i'll be so over this. :S

working girl part 2

So ayun, i officially started working for Pancake House Inc. as a Management Trainee last July 8 and started training last July 15 at the Gateway branch. I'm still not sure where my real store would be after, because my training head told me i'll be deployed at the soon-to-open Capitol Hills branch but that still can change. Sana dun na nga lang kasi one jeepney and tricycle ride lang yun from our house. I'm at the point where i'm telling myself to get used to the fact that i'll be working 6 days a week and most of the time working during Sundays and holidays from now on. That's the hospitality industry for you.

I'm enjoying my work so far naman, the hours just seem to fly by because of all the things we need to do. Physically demanding lang talaga siya pero so far keri naman hehe. =) Natutuwa akong mag-bar and cashier kasi busy pero fun! Yung dining naman ang pinaka nakakapagod for me, tapos sa kitchen pinaka ako nahihirapan so far. Kelangan ko magreview ng bongga before August 4 or else, baka hindi ako pumasa! Haha.

Rest day ko tomorrow so lubos-lubusin ko na talaga pagne-net ko tonight. ;)

watch pda! =)

No, i'm not in it nor do i know any contestant/"scholars" personally, i've just been hooked ever since the show started. My bet is Bugoy for the talent and Van for the looks. Hehe. Well, isa talaga yan sa mga luxuries ng pagiging bum, sobrang updated ka sa lahat. =)

Job hunting update: ayun, waiting. I have 2 opportunities that i am currently seriously considering. Mas gusto ko man yung isa, mas nandyan naman yung option. Ayun, bahala na c God kung saang path ako bagay kasi sa ngayon, im still a bit confused (but contented nonetheless).

I spent the day with Tina today. I helped her with the layout of some of the pages for the College yearbook. Nakakastress pala talaga. I bet sanay na siya, pero nastress ako kanina sa mga taong kulang-kulang pa ang stuff. Ang hirap nila hagilapin, i swear. Oh well. Best not to think about it before everything is finalized. I had a fun time today. Suprsingly. Kala ko xc all work lang kami, pero natuwa ako at marami pa akong natutunan about life sa girl na kasabay kong pauwi (i forgot to ask for her name, pero gradcomm din sya). Talagang masayang makinig sa storya ng ibang tao. Lalo na sa kanilang may ibang pinagdaanan at pinagdadaanan sa ngaun. Parang ang liit liit lang tuloy ng pinoproblema mo after hearing their story. Ayun. Realizations.

top chef mania

As i've said, the only thing that occupies the majority of my time these days is watching top chef at youtube. I've watched the 3 seasons already and i'm currently in the middle of season 4, which i believe has not finished filming in the states yet. But blabbering about my opinions on the winners of each season would not be interesting. I would rather post the hotties of the show. ;)

Any guy who can cook is alright in my book, especially if they're as cute as these chefs..

Harold Dieterle Top Chef Season 1 Winner.

From Wikipedia:
A 1997 graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, he was a sous-chef at the Harrison Restaurant in New York City before leaving that position in early 2006 to plan the opening of his own restaurant. His restaurant, Perilla, opened in May 2007 in New York City. On Top Chef, Dieterle won the first Elimination Challenge as well as the whole competition. His signature dish is Spicy Duck Meatballs.

Ilan Hall
Top Chef Season 2 Winner

He was kind of a jerk in the show so i wasn't too happy when he won but his appeal can not be denied. =)

Sam Talbot Top Chef Season 2 Finalist

For me, the rightful winner for the second season. He was not a jerk and he always produced the best dishes. He really should have won.

From Wikipedia:
Sam Talbot (born December 27, 1977) is a Sicilian-American chef from Charlotte, North Carolina, best known as a semi-finalist on Season 2 of Bravo's Top Chef, eventually placing third. He also became the fan favorite for the season. Sam received his education from Johnson & Wales University in Charleston, South Carolina. In New York City, he has held the position of executive chef at several restaurants, such as the Black Duck, Williamsburgh Cafe, and Punch. Talbot is a diabetic and wears an insulin pump attached to his leg.


For me, the cutest guest judge Top Chef has ever seen. =)

From Wikipedia:
DiSpirito is primarily known as a celebrity chef and a prominent cookbook author. He is known for his involvement in Union Pacific, a restaurant he opened in 1997 in the Gramercy Park section of Manhattan to good reviews. He left Union Pacific in 2004. In 2003 and 2004, DiSpirito was the subject of the NBC reality television show The Restaurant, which followed DiSpirito, his mother, Nicolina, and restaurant co-owner and financier Jeffrey Chodorow during the opening of their restaurant, Rocco's 22nd Street. Due to disagreements between DiSpirito and Chodorow, Chodorow closed the restaurant and reopened it as Caviar and Banana.

Ayun.. Sila yun. Hahaha. Puro about guys eh noh.
Anyway, I really hope we can have a Top Chef Philippines here already. It's just such an addicting show. Parang after mong manood ng episode, gutom ka na agad because of all the great food produced in the program. Pero after eating lunch or dinner, parang walang masarap kasi exagge sa galing yung mga taong napanood mong magluto. Si Voltaire nahawa ko na sa panonood! Haha. Pero mas enthusiastic pa rin ako between the two of us, kahit siya naman talaga yung nagluluto. Having a Top Chef Philippines would be a great showcase for all our upcoming chefs here. Also, it would create a way for people to recognize the greats of the culinary world (like CPGM/HIGM's exec chef cyrille, my friend hehe) we currently have in the country. Tapos pag recognized na sila, mas marami pang tao ang magdedemand ng higher quality for their food whenever they eat out, and thus starting a new era of gourmet cuisines in the country. Ang daming gusto eh noh?? Haha. Wala lang, napaka-talented kasi ng mga Filipinos in general dba, especially when it comes to cooking.. Kaya magandang idea yan haha.

*****

uneventful weekend

Sometimes you just want to escape..
And just when you thought you finally did,
Reality suddenly pulls you back in..
Then it's game on again!.. Ahh life.

I need a job.
I need a great job to occupy my mind.
I need the best job for me..
I need to be productive again.

I'm rambling.

Tomorrow's a new day.

****

unemployed

I resigned!

I'm not very proud of myself because of it but i'm happy nonetheless knowing I did what's best for me. At least napatunayan ko sa sarili ko na kaya ko talagang mapanindigan ang desisyon ko at mapaglaban ang tama para sa akin. I'm not very proud of what happened talaga. Hindi ako sanay na maging "quitter" or maging taong madaling mag-give-up sa kahit anung bagay, i've survived more and tougher challenges in my 4 years in UP than that. Pero at the end of the day na-realize ko na: tama lang na piliin mo kung anu ang makakapag-pasaya sa'yo; tama lang na panindigan ang desisyon na alam mong makabubuti sa'yo in the long run at higit sa lahat, tama lang na tanggapin ang consequences ng iyong mga pagkakamali. Kahit gaano man kahirap, you have to learn to take responsibilities for your actions. Masyado kasi akong nagmadali.. I didn't think things through first before accepting a responsibility that will change my life in such a big way. Hindi pa ako prepared for that big of a change.. I need to figure things out first (about myself, my life and my future) before i'll be able to handle all that.

At least ang dami kong realizations out of the experience. Ganun naman yun eh dba.,. Everything happens for a reason and at the end of the day, every experience is an opportunity to learn. I don't regret any of my decisions and if I have to do it all over again, I would not change a thing.


Courtesy Point Technologies Inc. has been really good to me throughout my whole experience. I will surely treasure not only my brief stay there but most especially the people I met along the way.

Ms. Sheila - Ang kachikahan ko about showbiz and Hollywood news as well as the latest about American Idol. Isa sa pinkatotoong taong nakilala ko sa buong buhay ko, she'll say it like it is and you may not always like it but you'll learn to appreciate it. Very mataray at the same time very mabait. A contradiction of sorts but truly a mix of traits that always completed my day.

Sir Joaqui - Ang boss ko! ..na sa araw-araw na ginawa ng Diyos lagi kong tinitext at ini-email! Hahaha. Feeling ko kulit na kulit na sya sa lahat ng paalala ko, pero that's the only way i'll feel productive eh.. Pag marami na akong prospects na nabigay sa kanya! =) He's been very understanding of my whole situation (having 190 for school while working full-time) and only wishes the best for me. He is a truly an ideal boss to have..

Kuya Bryan - Panalo sila ni Ms. Sheila! Mami-miss ko talaga tandem nila. Kuya Bryan never fails to ask me how I am whenever he sees me. He's always concerned and one of the people who really made me feel welcome in the office.

Sir Lester and Dodge - Makulit. Makulit talaga. Parang dumami tuloy ang JP sa buhay sa kakulitan at sa pang-aasar. Mamimiss ko din mga hirit nila.

Sir Omar - Onti lang interactions namin pero sa mga panahon na yun, sobrang bait nya lage. Ayun hehe. Makulit din toh, parang c JP pag tumanda!=))

Miko - Ang practicumer namin na mas matagal pa ang stay sa akin! Haha. Tahimik to the nth level pero sa tagal kong nakikita, medyo unti-unti na ring nakikipagusap at nakikipagjoke. Kasabay ko din maglakad hanggang sakayan paguwi.

Ms. Val - Parang sister ko na sya. Idol ko sa lahat ng achievements nya professionally. Wish at goal kong makabili ng similar sa car nya someday from my own money. Hehe!

Ms. Susan - The CEO of the company and another one of my idols. She's been nothing but nice to me throughout my whole stay and even told me i'm welcome to come back when things don't work out for me in my other endeavors. She's such a cool boss.

JP - Anu na nga ba?! Haha. Ang nagsimula ng lahat. =)) Salamat, kasi pinagkatiwalaan mo ako. Sori ule kung na-disappoint kita (nde na ako iiyak haha). I'm happy for you cause I can that see you really enjoy your work. Sana magtuloy-tuloy pa ang success mo at sana mabahagiaan mo ule kami ng kayamanan mo. Haha! Salamat talaga. Ayun lang. =)


I will miss CPTI talaga.. I will miss Makati.. Ayun back to bum moments ule until graduation.

PS.Andame pala talagang gastos bago gumraduate! I'm hating this! Haha.

Realize by Colbie Caillat

Take time to realize,

That your warmth is. Crashing down on in.

Take time to realize,
That I am on your side
Didn't I, Didn't I tell you.

But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple
No I cant spell it out for you

If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
and will never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder if
we missed out on each other now.

Take time to realize
Oh-oh I'm on your side
didn't I, didn't I tell you.
Take time to realize
This all can pass you by.. Didn't I tell you

But I can't spell it out for you,
no its never gonna be that simple
no I can't spell it out for you.

If you just realized what I just realized
then we'd be perfect for each other
then we'd never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder if
we missed out on each other now.

It's not always the same
no it's never the same
if you don't feel it to.
If you meet me half way
If you would meet me half way.
It could be the same for you.

If you just realized what I just realized
then we'd be perfect for each other
then we'd never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder
Just realized what I just realized

OoOoOOo

missed out on each other now
missed out on each other now

^LSS mode because of the CTS.

Anyway..

Mistakes in life are not to be regretted but rather should serve as a learning experience. I hope I can figure this out soon and be able to do what's right for me. I am still confused but do have a better understanding of things now than more than a month ago. I just have to take responsibilities for my actions and be able to face the consequences. Kaya ko toh. Sana. =)

finally...

I'm feeling so much better today.

Feeling lighter and calmer about things.

The dust has finally settled and I can now enjoy my work and new friends.

I'm happy cause now I can finally concentrate and not have to divide my time as much anymore.

I'm just so thankful. =)

half-hearted efforts

Ngayon ko lang na-realize na medyo seryoso pala akong tao. 'Pag may kailangan gawin hindi talaga ako mapakali hanggang tapos na sya. But that doesn't mean i do it days before the deadline. The thing is, I don't think I can or maybe i just don't have enough motivation to do it ahead of time. Cramming is the name of the game.

Right now i'm at a point where even if i want to concentrate on one specific aspect of my life, I can't. Hindi pwedeng isa lang iniisip ko at gingawa ko. Andami kong responsibilidad na minsan nakakapagod na talaga. Nalulungkot ako kasi i know i can do better, but the circumstance does not permit me to do so.

Practicum Report..

....you're killing me.

............slowly but surely you're killing me.

ick! :P

working girl?

Last monday, Feb18, I became an employee of Courtesy Point Technologies Inc. with an official title of Account Executive (Sales Manager) in Training. =) I love the "in training" part. Haha. Makes me feel more comfortable with my role because I know I have so much more to learn and I need time before I can be on my own. Last friday I had the chance to see how an official sales call/presentation works. Sir Joaqui (Director for Sales and my mentor) did all the talking and i was by his side taking notes. I got stressed out after because i don't know when or if i'll be able to reach that level of "sales and communication greatness" (with lack of better term to use). I feel like i have long long way to go before i'll be "useful" to the company. That, and the fact that i still have my 190 class and practicum report to finish got me all stressed out. When i feel that much stress my body gives in and i get paranoid with all these kinds of illness. Just this morning my mom and i rushed to the university infirmary to check if i have mumps. But as it turns out, the throbbing pain on the right side of my neck was nothing more than a stiff neck. I felt so stupid but in the end my mom and i had a laugh about how paranoid i got over it. Too much stress can really affect your health but in my case, can cause my paranoia to really kick in. I think i need to find a way to destress...

happy, happy birthday sis!!!!

To my one and only 'sister':
I'm truly blessed to have someone like you.
Naks. hehe. iluvyah! May God bless you always!

jozebelita!!

haha andumi ng background.

heaven and eggs

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Ang masasabi ko lang? Alam mo na yun. Hehe.
Hanap na kasi tayo nung sinasabi ko sa'yo kanina sa text. ;)
May nabibili ba nun? Sana yung mura pero sulit. Hahaha!

I also want to share what i made as jozy's write-up for the yearbook. ^_^
Yess.. proud. Haha nde naman.

Still waters run deep…

She may seem quiet at first but don’t let that ‘taray’ perception fool you. Jozelle or Jozy, as she’s fondly called, can crack the funniest jokes and make that great “hirit” with the best of ‘em. She’s a great listener and adviser, truly one of the best confidantes out there. She is a very smart person who can easily find the simplest solution in the most complex of problems.

Jozy has such diverse interests from learning different Asian languages to designing dream homes as an Architect. She’s an Executive Chef that makes killer desserts and at the same time shows her school spirit by cheering the Maroons on during her free time. She may get high grades because of her responsible nature, but she doesn’t forget to have fun as well.

She’s a strong person who will stand up for what she believes in but at the same time she’s mature enough to admit mistakes when she commits them. I am lucky to have met such a multifaceted character such as Jozelle, but even luckier to call her my friend.

end of practicum, chocolate buffet and vday..

The end has come and the start of bum moments begin.. I learned a lot during my practicum experience at Crowne Plaza. I met a lot of really great people and have wonderful moments to look back on. It was hard work day in and day out but at the end of the day i always had a great sense of accomplishment that tells me it's all worth it.

I don't know why, but the end of my practicum was not the "sad" day i pictured it out to be. I was not as sentimental as some people and was more relieved that i don't have to wake up super early the next morning. I guess there's still a lot of other things to think about other than the end of training.

I didn't really have that much of bum moments after practicum because there's still the chocolate buffet to think about. Because we need something to do and in dire need of responsibility to get our mind off the practicum report(hehe), dona and i volunteered to be in-charge of sales and marketing for the chocolate buffet. The job requires a lot of monitoring and takes up a lot of our time. I'm not gonna lie, some people really made our life just a bit more difficult but i guess it comes with the responsibility. Aside from being s&m managers, we also volunteered to be part of the pre-prep group the day before the event. It's funny because i think i had more fun at the pre-prep than at the event itself. It was more unforgettable i guess. The day of the buffet was one big blur in my mind. I had little sleep and i felt like i was sleep-walking the whole day. The highlight of the night was spending time with rusan, steph and joyce and also kuya and kria.

Vday was spent with friends and i had the best time. The day started with a big news that I've been waiting for and a stupid move i tried to cover up by yet another stupid move. Then i went to school to reconcile the payments and other stuff from the choco buffet. After that i had nothing to do so i called steph up. In the afternoon steph, rusan, jozy and i met up at the tambayan to have a vday date at trinoma. We ate burritos at mexicali and spent the rest of the night at timezone. That impromptu trip really made my day. =)

the one with apples, trees, girls and boys

Girls are like
apples on trees. The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough
to climb
all the way
to the top
of the tree.
