PANAGBENGA!!!

spent the weekend in the Summer Capital of the Philippines, Baguio City!!

we went there to experience panagbenga, a.k.a. flower festival. :) ang saya. i went undertime nung friday shift, then we met up at my office. our bus trip was at 6am, and 5:55am we arrived at victory liner bus terminal at cubao. the bus trip was half a day long, but i didn’t mind. the view was fantastic along the way. we got to baguio around 1pm, with no place to stay. akalain mo yun. :) buti na lang there are people there (i dont know, tour guides would suit them best i guess) that would go around the city with you to find a place to stay for only 5o bucks. luckily we didnt have to search long, we found a place after around 20 minutes of searching ala mary and joseph (minus the bun in the oven, of course.) it was called king’s court, and the rate was 1,500 pesos per day. ang mahal, panagbenga kasi. regular rate would have been 800 ata. imagine.

 anyway. so yun. when we got to the room, we rested a little, tas nagpunta na kami kagad ng victory liner bus terminal para bumili ng ticket pauwi (just to make sure na hindi namen magagastos yung pera pambili for other niceties) then went to SM Baguio to have lunch at KFC. hahahaha, nasa baguio na’t lahat, SM at KFC pa din! :)

***im gonna stop right here kasi uuwi na ko. this is an after shift activity that im doing and its taking its toll on my eyelids. hehe. ndi ko na keri, baka mag commute ako nakapikit. :) ***

nuninuninuninu…

 another day of training is done. little by little it’s finally sinking in… i am going to do sales. or rather, help agents make the sale. akalain mo yun. i still have sooo much to learn though. i actually like it… a new challenge… something entirely different out of the usual tech support stuff. and its gonna take another learning curve for god knows how long. yeeh.

 on an entirely different note, it’s amazing how relationships start. and im not just talking about the usual romantic, boyfriend-girlfriend, head-over-heels type. this also goes for strangers becoming friends. ang galing diba? aaand it almost always starts with a smile. or a… uhm… lifting of the eyebrows!Ü i just thought of this while taking a bath before work. apparently that’s the only time i have to think of such things. haha. wala lang. naisip ko lang kasi, more than half of the reason why i cant leave my present job is because of the friends i’ve made here. sure, the compensation is great and the benefits and all that, but i daresay i’ve also made relationships to last a lifetime. with my bosses, my teammates, my colleagues. it’s like a family outside of my own. :) and im happy about it.

***********************************************************************************************************

 granted that you’re already happily involved with someone… do you ever come to a point that you ask yourself

“what if?” or “sayang, pahulihin ka naman eh”

does it make you a bad girlfriend/boyfriend if you think of something like that? does that count as cheating already? or does it only become cheating when you act on it? if that’s the case, does that mean you are allowed to fantasize about that person and think of as many “what if” questions as you want granted that you dont do anything about it?

or am i just overthinking again?

see food!!

wow. one weekend has passed and i got 5 comments from my girlfriends. hehe. :) good to know we’ll always be in touch. warm fuzzy feeling. hehehehe.

 anyway, what a weekend it was.

saturday =  seafood day. i met up with ryan at his office and then went to dampa with his team where we had seafood kung seafood lunch. wahehehe. nagpaluto ng buttered sugpo, stuffed squid, steamed mayamaya, baked tahong and calamares. shempre, madaming kanin!! meron din pork sinigang para may sabaw tsaka stir fried kangkong para may gulay. TALAP TALAP!!! :) as if it was all wasnt enough, we then moved on to oyster boy para, well, mag oyster. hehe. madaming madami!!! si tl stuart kasi, parang wala nang bukas!! hahaha!! panalo talaga!! may fresh oyster where you can squeeze calamansi on top at meron din baked oyster na may cheese. woohoo!! i prefer the baked one, pero either goes well with beer!Ü i got home 9pm ata. wahehe, take note, galing ako sa previous night’s shift, so i was awake 24+ hours. i lost count hehe.

 sunday was our one and a half year anniversary :) we were together the whole day, at nag foodtrip na naman!! kaya ndi ako pumayat payat eh!! hehehe. we had crispy pata for lunch. tas nag banana split AND waffle bowl sa DQ nung late afternoon. talk about sugar rush! :)

life’s good. :)

imbalance.

 TGIF! this has been one heck of a week. i changed schedule right in the middle of it. monday off, tuesday was 6am-3pm. then on wednesday i went to work 6am again, but had to go home at 12pm because i had to go to work at 9pm SAME DAY until 6am. and this time its training for tech support with sales. SALES!! SALES!! graah!! it’s bad enough that we do tech support. but sales?? c’mon. as i quote, “i can’t sell to save my life!!” up one stress level. kamusta nman ang body clock ko. at hindi na din uso ang tulog. im pretty sure a law was passed banning sleep especially for people who need it most. lalo lang nawawala mata ako at natatabunan ng eye bags. im also having this lower back pain that shoots up every now and then. thank gawd Forever Flawless goes well with the weekend! it’s about time i pamper myself… just think: facial… whole body massage… foot spa… the works!!! just thinking about it makes me feel better already! good thing they have conveniently located branches inside malls, i can easily go to the nearest one. YEY!!! i just really need a good 8-hour sleep first before i try it so that i wont just sleep through the entire thing. hehe.

do not make mountains out of molehills. do not deliberately look for hidden meanings. dont make such a big deal out of things.

 if you could just… stop and trust me and not expect my world to revolve around you and you alone…

 things will be much better. hay.

inevitable.

talk about change being the only thing that does not change.

 il be training for d2t* starting 9pm tonight. i’ve only been in dave’s team 2 short days. kamusta naman yun. and i’m perfectly fine with dave’s team. no problem agents. no problem tl (not that there was anyÜ).

 iniisip ko na lang na atleast balik ako night shift. tsaka balik training. parating masaya  training. kaya lang i dont want to be in a new LOB*. im perfectly settled dito sa CORE*. Why they have to shake me up i dont freakin know. hay.

 *d2t – Direct to Tech – tech support with sales

*LOB – Line of Business, like:

*CORE – purely tech support.
