-la luz-

check out la luz resort.


I still have a hang over with regard to our trip to la luz. It was breath-taking, I swear. We all had our moments, and the most romantic part is that we arrived there at almost 5pm so we got a spectacular view of the sunset. I was amused by coocoo’s insights while we were lounging at one of those shaded bamboo beds (whatever u call it) fronting the beach. In the first place he was not supposed to be part of that out of town trip since it was my team’s team building activity, but with a wonderful twist of fate and much cajoling from my ops manager who happens to be a good friend of his as well he gave in.
He was telling me about his realizations while we were cuddling up on the beach under the sunset. He was genuinely amazed at how God works in such mysterious ways. He said if his atm card was not demagnetized and card captured then he would probably be in divisoria that morning purchasing gifts for Christmas instead of him going to alabang to borrow money from me. I just had to smile at him while he was telling me about his insights.

The whole trip was worth it but quite bitin. The food was sumptuous and free flowing, yup di sha tipid! The massage made me doze off. Had my 3 agents did not wake me up I would have slept on the cabana for till sunrise. There was a bonfire but I was too tired to go down again and stay up. I woke up really early ‘round 4am and I was so hungry I ate the food that alex (one of my agent – who brought his wife and daughter along), brought inside the room for his kid. I was dying with excitement to watch the sunrise, and yes we were able to do so.


Babe and I took a dip really early and it was freezing cold and after that we had a big big breakfast. The whole trip back was also great we were all laughing the whole time. Funny coz babe doesn’t want to go there initially since that date coincides with their xmas party at the apartment but then when he got there he got all too fascinated with the place he ended up planning his own team building to be held there as well.


Oh well, God certainly has a way of making me smile.

-toxic-

im so toxic! in Filipino translation, ako ay nakakalason! Hehe joke. What I mean is that i’m going gaga over the things that I need to accomplish, my backlogs and all that stuffs that are going on at work. Everytime I feel like giving up and resigning, I just try to remind myself that this is what I want to begin with. I chanced upon a good friend of mine the other day thru yahoo messenger. She’s already resigned, she is really good though but she just isn’t patient enough. I told her about my predicament but she told me I should stay since this is what I really wanted in the first place.

On the other hand, things are looking good for some things. I’m quite happy and I just had a last trip to the beach for this year. My team had a team building at La Luz Resort at Batangas last Sunday and it was totally memorable, the place is breath-taking, its as if you were not in Batangas. It was so peaceful and quiet, like a world of its own. Best of all, my baby came with us.

by the way here are some pics of our xmas party @ the nbc tent.

as of the last 3 mos, from the time that i have been promoted i haven't been absent, which is so unlike me. not that i am always absent, i doubt that i'll get the promotion if i were but its just that once in a while i feel that i am entitled to my leaves aside from the fact that my previous supervisor is lenient when it comes to sick leave consumptions so we could just call him up and tell him we'll be using our sick leaves regardless of the reason he'll approve of it. we just need to be honest with him.

yesterday our nasty senior operations manager had an hour talk with me. she's been meeting with everyone on the management team. she is a talking embarassment i should say for the call center that we are working for. on top of that she also very much full of herself. i had so much of the "I" talk. I have a winning spirit... I have passion for my work... Hmmm it figures kaya pala di marunong ng tenses sa sentence construction. my gawd gusto ko tumambling kahapon when she said "Respect for the individual - the agents should know that, so if they are done with their calls the best thing to do is to went home that way others wont be disturb." Good luck!

Her consistency in being stupid when it comes to the english language is something that we could accept, we need a comic relief once in a while but what i find totally abominable of all that she said is the fact that we are not allowed to take vacation leaves for the next 6 months! putangina nya!!! kasalanan ko ba na may leaves na ko at sya wala??? grabe sarap nya pasabugin!!!

i went on a 2-day vacation leave last week (friday and saturday) which was prior to my days off (sunday and monday). we are starting to be inseparable again, which suits us both i should say. after my shift on friday morning, i went home to him. he has training that night since he moved to a different account where the company is grooming him to be an ops manager. but he asked me to stay at the apartment that way when he goes home in the morning i'd still be there.

saturday morning we went to alabang to pick up the cradle of his hp jornada, which he bought from my former teammate - armin. prior to that he went to digicafe with his new team. i on the otherhand had to go home to change into something decent. we were supposed to meet up at insular bldg but since he was already at digi he told me to just pick him up there. i was surprised coz he texted me telling me to go there that way he could introduce me to the team. well, last minute he decided against it ayaw daw nya madaming tanong since di pa naman daw kami. oh well wag nating i-pressure baka makulitan. right now, the fact that he's there would suffice.

after dropping by at the alabang site we went to starbucks beside frank provost where my agents were hanging out. they were so ecstatic when we showed up. my agents call me "mommy" and so when we showed up they were too hyper and coocoo got the shock of his life when they were all calling him daddy.

we stayed there till noon time. we cant get enough gabbing. and coocoo warmed up as well he was telling them stories as well about work. afterwards we went to alabang town center where he scouted for a new phone. we looked around and decided we'll have lunch first that way he could make up his mind on what kind of phone to buy. and speaking of lunch well with him there's no other place to eat but kfc.

while we were eating, i happen to sit beside a little boy who's so cute and charming. he's wearing eyeglasses too and was conversing with his dad in perfect english. coocoo and i were talking about the phone when all of a sudden he said:

"gusto mo makita ano itsura ng magiging anak natin?"

i was shocked to hear that come from him. i learned my lesson in the past not to talk about anything concerning the future especially something that serious. it really warmed my heart to hear that from him, at least it made me feel that he's still considering a future with me. at least i know this is going somewhere not only on my part but on his as well.

-almost there-

on the road to reconciliation.

a few days after having that ym conversation which i posted on my last entry, he sent me a text message on a sunday (three weeks ago). sunday and monday nights are my off. surprisingly that sunday - november 14, prior to the time that i was about to sleep, coming home tired from the office from my 8pm-5am shift and after roaming around the mall with my bosses - ayee and mel and a fellow supervisor - ekaye, i was really really tempted to send him a text message. pardon the sentence construction. anyway moving forward, i decided against texting him. i slept almost 1pm, i was so exhausted that i got up at 1am.

when i woke up my stomach is screaming with hunger. but then again instinct dictated that i should check my mobile phone first prior to the fridge. so i did. and surprise of all surprises he sent me a message. he asked me if i had a shift that night. then what's all the more surprising (sorry i know i used it so many times but i cant find a more apt word) is that he tried calling me up, coz there's a missed call around 6pm. so i sent him a text message apologizing to him and explaining that i was asleep for 12hrs and asking him why he called me up. im not expecting him to respond right away since its already 1am but i was all the more surprised when he called me up. nangangamusta lang daw sya and then he asked me out at that time ha. sobrang shocked ako. parang heller anong oras na un at nagaaya sya ng lakad at san naman kaya kami pupunta di ba? we went out and talked and well started acting like we were an item again.

its been three weeks now and there are developments. he's still not ready to commit but at least he doesnt hold back anymore when he feels like telling me he loves me. like this morning instead of going home i went to his place and slept there. he had to call up HR since 2 of his new agents called him to report problems about his pay, i was already half asleep when he went up already. then he kissed me on the forehead and whispered "i love you" to me. i tried responding and somehow i croaked so he ended up laughing before kissing me again. =)

oh well i still have a lot of things to blog about but that will do for now.
