GooDbYE doeSn'T meAn FOREVER
The months that passed in 2011 was so much fun i can't seem to contain the GRATEFULNESS in my heart to the people who helped me achieve something i promised for myself when it comes to my career. There might be sadness but i can only reminisce with smile in my face the Fun and Laughters i had with you TEAM PONG.
Boss Pong: To be honest, I thought i'm gonna be more hopeless when i joined the team but i was amazed that I have learned something I will always keep in my heart all through out my life (not to mention one person who believed in me when i was studying apart from my parents) and that's "HOW YOU LOOK AT THE KINDNESS OF A PERSON DESPITE WHAT PEOPLE THINK TO MAKE THAT PERSON GIVE UP & HOW YOU DEAFEN YOUR EAR IN DEFENSE OF THE PERSON WHO YOU BELIEVE CAN STILL CHANGE".
I'm sorry if I said something or acted rudely towards your leadership out of pity or anger. I didn't mean to do so. This doesn't mean i don't respect you as my leader, i still do (kahiT puro green lang pinag-uusapan natin! hahaha)!
Take my SUP call pa rin if my new AMO is not around ha?
Thank you for ALL the GIMMICKS @ Getaway, BK101, ClubZen, Timog night outs and Carinderia dinner. The youth in me awaken coz of those Gimmick days (naman! hayz!)
To all my team mates:
Thank you for calmly tolerating my IRATE mode (hehehe). I hope this will not stop you to believe in what i can do and what can be changed in me because of this. I presume that I can still be conspicuous in your lives in some other ways. My prayer is to see each one of you reach the goals you have set for yourselves to succeed.
Please forgive me if I somehow made you bruise inside (heart) for words I have said & actions I have shown.
I enjoyed each time with all of you. Though we encountered misunderstandings during our year together, I still look forward to the FRIENDSHIP i can only find with HONEST people like you. I will always bear with me your smiles and laughters even if I leave this industry.
See you ON THE FLOOR @ HSBC!

MISSING THE OLD TIMES
I was browsing pictures in my laptop and I happened to see TEAM TRICIA's file... Can't help but miss the people I used to laugh with and cry with.
My tears can't seem to listen to my mind! There's something in my heart that stab the very core that words can't explain. Longing? That keeps me looking forward to spending ample time with them again?....Joy? That saddens me knowing the fact that it might be impossible to be together again?
I laughed when I saw how childish we were when we were out of workstations and just did crazy things we can't do at the office! But I cried when I bumped to the Astoria escapade. I missed the day when all of us from the team made effort to be there despite of our busy skeds. I missed the TALK, the BIG LAUGH, the WEIRD acts! Why does it hurt so much when you miss people? They were happy faces (in the pictures) and unending laughs (that keeps ringing in my ears) but it brings me to tears? Such a HUGE MISS! Hahaha.
I miss You Guys!!!!!

LAST MINUTE BLESSING
Thank GOD I was able to make it to new year at home!
It was a favored day... last day at work (before the year ends and my day off). Public holiday was declared a day before 31st december.Ii was expecting high avail on calls during the day. Everyone is excited with the celebration of new year with families and friends but I was so worried I may celebrate it alone. I was told by my sister couple of days ago that bus station (victory liner) is not accepting any ticket reservations not later than 12nn on Dec 31st."I'll just try my luck when i get there after my shift ends at 630pm, if not I'll just go back to our apartment and watch dvd all night long." I told my self, but somehow, had a feeling I may not make it to province.
Due to very limited calls coming from customers in Malaysia, all employees approved for OT were dismissed unexpectedly. I was crossing my hand with so much hope that the management will still have to choose some people to send home especially those who are travelling far from work. I was trying to persuade my boss to send me home and have undertime instead. ehehe. The moment I was asked if I have a call... I was so hopeful I will be sent home (with of course a condition - I will make it up on the remaining hours next week), and I was!!!! I logged off at 230pm and hurried to people to say my last new year greetings for 2010 ( i was even reminded i have sched swap on jan4 - thanks Jen, i almost forgot that!) and to my locker to keep my things and picked up my stuff from the baggage counter!
My excitement still remains though I got an upsetting encounter with a lady guard at work when she's not friendly enough to assist me for a small favor - check with a friend - Bob, the order I took from the pantry to make sure i didnt make mistake taking the stuff (not to mention the incident report i did before i took off).
Few minutes passed and when I heard the announcement for the last bus bound to Baguio is accepting passengers (ticket will be given in the bus), as soon as I heard the bus number I hurried myself to the bus' door and asked the conducter if i can go in right away. I got the first seat to my favorite place in the bus (window4 right side)!!!!
I can't help but thank God many times for the favor! My heart is leaping while texting people, I even accidentally sent my message for friends to my family. I just realized it when I received a message from my sister (Sasha). hahahah!!!!
God is never late blessing his children. A last minute can be the best minute for the year! Thank GOD for the last minute blessing!

Bus station (victory liner) - when I joined the people on the line to get the ticket and the line is not moving a bit for minutes already, part of my heart felt sad that it'll be another sad new year for me. still part of my heart is so hopeful miracle can still happen the last minute ( i know God is never late).
Few minutes passed and when I heard the announcement for the last bus bound to Baguio is accepting passengers (ticket will be given in the bus), as soon as I heard the bus number I hurried myself to the bus' door and asked the conducter if i can go in right away.

ONE LITRE OF TEARS
I cried "ONE LITRE OF TEARS" watching the true story of Aya who got terminal illness at the age of 15 but somehow survived the 10years of fighting until the last breath and falling in love with a classmate, Asou-kun, who never abandoned her despite the family's disapproval of the relationship. it's an inspiring story which will definitely move you to tears and think of how grateful you are because you're living without the fear of closing your eyes.
As I watched this story I’ve got a lot of thoughts whisking in my mind. How did she manage to smile despite the fact that her life is counted day by day? The courage that Aya had on that very edgy experience heartens me. If she can smile though she knew that she will not have what other youth can do, why on earth am I so frustrated about me not having what other people have and get so downcast? Why do I frown when I get very low stats in my work? Why do I stop asking God when I don’t get what I have asked Him? When I recollect the scene where Aya chose to be grateful of what she had right at that time and not settle on the stare of questioning eyes of people, I fully understand why. She was CONFIDENT of what she got – a FAMILY that completely and unconditionally love her!
That panorama brings me back to the CONFIDENCE I have and will always have – the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF THE SAVIOUR. I may be unfortunate in the sight of people but I am truly blessed in the sight of God because I got a life that will surely bring me to a destiny where God had prepared for me. I might be unpopular in my work because I don’t excel much in terms of numbers yet I am definitely well-known in heaven where everyone is cheering for me including the KING! I could be unnoticeable but my GOD certainly knows even the smallest thing I do everyday! That TRUTH made me realize where I have to go back – in the ARMS of the LOVING GOD.
Sometimes we thought that watching movies or television series is just a hobby (addiction if I may say… for me) but if you would dig deeper to its meaning and messages you’ll find that God will speak to you in a very different way. (Tsk. Tsk. That’s a good transition!)
Live your life with purpose. Aya did live it and touched many lives especially those who have the same illness she had.

Decide To Choose
I've gotten back from a four-day vacation in the province (Pangasinan). I spent time with my family and took advantage of really sleeping which I usually am deprived because of the kind of work I have in a call centre. Now I realized how sleep really runs after you! Hahaha.
I had my eye check up yesterday because I still have this swollen eye for a week now. If not for this, I would have been away from Manila for couple of days more. Tsk. Tsk. While waiting for the time (because I need to meet a friend later) I attended the Youth Service in Pasig which I was not able to do when 2009 hit in. I saw old friends and acquaintances, had a small talk (updates...updates!).
I was seated behind all the students who are all ears to the preaching, and something just strikes me in - I lost the passion for these lost souls! That feeling scared me and I can't seem to pick up the pieces in my heart to get back to who I used to be! I’ve lost that touch which boast my confidence to speak to the lost, and that joyful and inflamed heart to be present at those services and talk to lost sheep.
I asked myself, “Why?”, and God answered me right away! It was a throbbing response in a form of question which I was aware I would surely get. These are the query that up to now I’m trying to grasp in order for me to get back on ME.
“When was the last time you read your bible? Really READ your bible?”
"Have you REALLY sought me in a PRAYER?”
“Are you still excited to get HOME and spend time with ME?” and
When was the last time you have a SONG for me?
These four questions hit me hard I could hardly get up! It was a verity I can’t deny. I did not dare asked God “What should I do?” as I know for certain what I have to hear. No more questions were uttered but a heart that’s assured what step I ought to choose to get back to Lorie who knows the heart of Jesus.

WHEN PRAYER IS ABSENT, SURVIVAL IS AN ENEMY
Just before I finished my shift at work on january 28 i happened to see the update for our team @ staffcom. I was saddened by the news about one of the agent of our company whose 20year old brother died because of an asthma attack. I was teary eyed knowing the fact that her brother has a long way to go and could've done more in this life. yet because of such tragic asthma attack, a life was taken away instantly.
I was reminded of my mother whose been in that condition for several years. i was so thankful, very thankful to GOD that she always survive during those attacks. the last time she was laid up made me realized how precious her life can be and without prayers, survival is an enemy. medicine can't heal alone. prayers does. and i told myself, "will i wait for the attack to come before i fight? Why not fight right now? Why not pray right now?"
Right at that moment, I prayed and thanked God for my mother's life and for her to have good health everyday.

HOME ALONE
Since i was not able to go home (hometown, Pangasinan) on January 2 (after new year celebration) I was home alone in the apartment (Caniogan). My housemates (counting my sister, Sasha) made it for New Year.
I filched picture of myself with our tiny Christmas tree to reminisce the moments of holiday celebration. It somehow alleviates the yearning I had for my family during this time. I put my Santa hat (as they say) on, it's just a hat anyway and smile and click!

I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
While I was looking at photographs of my FAMILY joining the world in celebrating the Christmas, I can’t help but feel at bit cheerless. I didn’t see my face in any of those.
This time (2008).
A poignant truth that I was on board the bus heading to our province whilst they party. It was supposed to be a surprise for them that I’ll be coming home for Christmas, however, it was not as I planned. I had a hard time getting a bus untaken.
The moment I've known the bus I’m boarding will be leaving at 9pm, I was certain I won’t make it on time of the gala. I was deeply asleep on my seat that I was not aware it’s already 12midnight. Amidst the celebration is a heart full of longing and excitement. One odd thing, though, is that my cellphone ran of battery and I can’t even call my family to greet them “MERRY CHRISTMAS!” and “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” to my mother whom we especially make every year a very special festivity for our family.
It’s good that we have camera to capture every moment of happiness and merriment. Their happy faces in the pictures lead me back to our cozy house. I was really HOME on christmas!
