appraisal

i just got my fifth month appraisal and i'm so happy that i'll be extending my stay here in PS. i'm very grateful to my supervisor john for his recommendation.so,I’ll be here for the next 6 months and my regularization will be effective on may 2 which will also be my birthday.i could still remember when we(me & js) were still in training,we wished that we will be regularized in may as our birthday gift.haha.it came true to me.(js has resigned and she is now connected with nestle.good for her.)I’m having my exchange training now and by july we are expected to be universal agents.i hope my batchmates got the same result as mine for their fifth month appraisal.

The One That Got Away

just wanna share this article to all of you.it struck me like lightning.*wink*wink*haha.

By: Mark J. Macapagal, The Manila Times

In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There's the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with...and the one that got away. Who is the one that got away? I guess it's that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn't fall the right way, I suppose. I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance. How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you're not ready to commit in that mature manner; it doesn't matter whom you're with, it just doesn't work. Small problems become big; inconsequentials become deal breakers simply because you're not ready and it shows. It's not that you and the person you're with are no good; it's just that it's not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact. Then one day you're ready. You really are. And when this happens you'll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it'll work because you're ready. It'll work because it's the right time and you'll make it work. And it'll make sense, it really will. So that day comes when you're finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, and you finally understand who you are and what you want, and you've become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there's no telling when this day will come. Hopefully you're single but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn't matter. All you know is that you've changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about. You'll think about them because you'll wonder, "What if they were here today?" You'll wonder, "What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?" That's what the one that got away is: the biggest "What if" you'll have in your life. If you're married, you'll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you're mature enough to realize that you're already with the one you're with and this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you'll think about him/her every so often, but it's alright. It's never nice to live with a "might have been," but it happens. Maybe the one that got away is the one who's already married. In which case it's the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you're old and gray and reminiscing. But if neither of that is the case, then it's different. What do you do if it's not yet too late? Simple: find him; find her. Because the very existence of a "one that got away" means that you'll always wonder, what if you got that one? Ask him out to coffee; ask her out to a movie, it doesn't matter if you've dropped in from out of nowhere. You'd be surprised, you just might be "the one that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away." You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won't make a difference. If the timing is finally right, it'll all just fall into place somehow and you know, I'm thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you're the one that almost got away."

bloopers

we do speak english on the floor and practice makes perfect but there are still a lot of bloopers on the floor.some may not be able to catch up what i'm saying but these scenarios create a burst of laughter in the office.in my case,here are some;

opening spiel: "thank you for calling _____.com. my name is shania. is there a reservation i can help you with today?"

closing spiel: "have i answered all ur questions? thank u for calling______.com.have great day!"

that's the standard opening and closing spiels but instead of having the closing spiel:

scenario 1

me: have i answered all your questions?

caller: yes you have,thank you...

me: alrighty...thank you for calling expedia.com. my name is shania. is...is...

(then i stopped,realizing that i was supposed to end the call)

scenario 2

me: have i answered your questions?

caller: yes you have.

me: ok...thank you for your help...

(i thanked her instead of her thanking me)

scenario 3

our job requires us to call our vendors(airlines,hotels or cars) and we do ask assistance from them.instead of thanking them,i said: thank you for calling! (oh...my God...i just called them and i thanked them for calling...hehe...it is too scripted..)

scenario 4

i had this caller who wanted me to search for available flights from denver to baton rouge.oh,boy there could have been something wrong with my auditory nerves because when i gave the recap for the flights that he wanted.....

me: this is a flight from denver to bangladesh.

caller: No, i'm not going to bangladesh.i said baton rouge.B-A-T-O-N R-O-U-G-E....

(hahaha...)

scenario 5

before i ended the call,i advised the caller regarding the documents needed for travel.

me: you have to print a printed copy...(haha...stop me awardee)

scenario 6

when i tried to spell-out the letters of the airline confirmation code...i said, K for killer.

(it was a big no-no.what a boo-boo...my batchmates were laughing during the call upon hearing my own composition for spelling out the letter K.)

scenario 7

at the start of the call after caller gives itinerary,we start pulling up the record and then i always advise the caller to bear with me and to stay on the line while i pull up the record.then the called said,"try using DSL,it's faster".

scenario 8

caller: where are you located?

me: philippines

caller: really?owh, you have a great english.

me: thank you...

caller: you're welcome but there is just something wrong with the way you say Charlotte.... it's C-h-a-r-l-o-t-t-e. say it...

me: C-h-a-r-l-o-t-t-e

caller: say it again...

(haha...he was like a teacher teaching a kid...in fairness, great english daw.)

Prayer to St.Anne

“St. Anne, St. Anne, give me a man to be my husband…” sister luz shared this short prayer for me to try it and to see if it works.i tried it the other night but I’m not sure if it works. i’m keeping my fingers crossed. haha.(asa ka pa!?!)i spent my Sunday afternoon with jasmine and sister luz chatting at the park.we talked about jasmine’s decision in joining the congregation,Q&A portion, doona’s wedding, we talked about love, admirers,crushes and me meeting boice.haha.it was a funny Sunday afternoon. we sat at the park and it was the perfect venue for chatting.i love the view plus the fresh air and the sunset.i just couldn’t get enough of it.

most unlikely

me,my sis aden and bros elvin,warren and john ate out last Sunday at kan-anan by the sea.the food was great.we were talking about my friend who decided join the RVM sisters.chika-chika lang and then it came to a point when my younger bro asked me if I would also do the same.i laughed.and then my older bro said,” nah, most unlikely nga magmadre.” hahaha… am i?is it true?gotta find out why…

1.1 the night that was

I don’t know how to describe what I felt at that time but my heart was really beating fast.it happened after the wedding on our way home.haay…terrible… that was around 11:30pm.I didn’t know what to do…I wanted to run and report it to the police but I’m afraid. We happened to meet 3guys on our way home and they were mad. They are ready to fight.uhm…never mind… it was strange...gotta keep it to myself. i thought the night would end up with a bloody fight. Thank God…no one got hurt. praise God...no fight took place.we were still able to go home safely.i'm really thankful it got resolved.

girl meets boice

i met someone new last Saturday,he was the friend of my friend’s hubby.he came all the way from cebu to attend his friend’s wedding. I saw him at the church,he got my attention because of his outfit.i liked the laidback style.i was supposed to go home early after the wedding because I was scheduled to watch my batchmates play basketball.(I just wanna shout…shot..)me and my friends LA and jasmine decided to watch the game.well…that was around 7:30 so we decided to bid goodbye to the newlywed doona but she won’t allow us to go because she wanted to spend some time with us. ok..there we go.we stayed and pinagbigyan ang bagong kasal.my friend melody was telling me,”hala...ipaila-ila gyud ka karon diha.” And i was like,”duh..”I didn’t mind what she said and we just laughed. I totally forgot that metrosexual guy I saw at the church because I was chasing after a beautiful moon.i didn’t recognize I was being followed by a patient little cloud.I enjoyed chatting with my friends but was also making palusot that we could go na.nope,it never happened.and then, my friend was telling me that he’s gonna introduce me to someone but I didn’t mind.the next thing I know,I was talking to one of his friends. the guy was nice and cool. the conversation went so smooth and we had a funny conversation, it’s not the corny and boring conversation but I guess he got intimidated by me.haha.one of the funniest lines was this:

guy: can I have your number?

me: nope…sorry,I don’t text.you’ll hate me because I seldom text.

guy: it’s ok.i won’t text.i’ll call.

me: owh, guba akong phone(it’s true)

guy: I’m gonna buy you one.

then I laughed.it was like”did I hear it right?”.i'm not gonna give in to that.well, I shared that line with my friends and they were like…”cge,go…” hahaha… and then my friend was telling me that we looked good together,this and that. well,well,well… finally they found someone new to pair me with. i’m not anymore stucked with the old loveteams they used to tease me with.. haha. eww…

my friend's wedding...

doona’s wedding

One of the reasons I went home was to attend my friend’s wedding.she got married last Saturday and it was a blast.i was the earliest to arrive at the church.i wonder if there was a prize for that.the ceremony was scheduled to start at 2pm but the priest came late.haay..buti nalang gwapo siya.it was worth the long wait.i was the psalmist so I needed to pa-cute.haha…everything went out well.the couple with their two angels looked great and it was picture-perfect.my friends were there and I enjoyed the chika madness.haha.
