Somewhere in the course of life, you'll learn about yourself and realize that there should never be regrets but a life-long appreciation of the choices you made. Be Happy Always, Bluerlyn! =)
(Allen was also my agent before. I helped him prepare for his interview as a subject matter expert. He's really good and humble no wonder he's now an s.m.e./transition coach.)message 6: from DTV-Chachi (04/06/05 - 11:51am)

Mommy tnx 4 d words nainspire ako tnx, d prn sure f il go 4 it, pro tnx tlaga tnx 4 being a pillar of strength. nyt sleep na me.
(Majo is one of my agents from wave 3.2, admittedly she's one of my weaker agents, i coached her before on her areas for improvement and now im proud to say that she is being delegated more responsibilities by her new team leader. Likewise her stats is really very impressive.)message 8: from DTV-Allen (04/12/05 - 4:54pm)
Talaga Ma'am? Thank you. =) I dont really think i have a ghost of a chance of getting the position. I can accept failure but what i cant and wont stand for is not trying. Thank you so much for believing in me bluerlyn. =) take care din ma'am. God bless!
(He sent me this after I told him i'd be more than glad to process him again if he decides to apply for the team lead post.)message 9: from DTV-Abby (04/21/05 - 2:57pm)

(Abby is an agent of my co-tl and one of the clowns in the program. She is begging me to take her to be part of my team. hehe kasi bawal maingay sa team ni mark sa ken deadma lang. as for the pet name, there's this one website wherein you have to key in ur name and then it will generate the pet name ur better half should call you. as for her its puppy and since nagpapaampon sya sa kin, she calls me mommy doggy.)message 10: from DTV-Chachi (04/22/05 - 12:43pm)

message 11: from DTV-Ronch (04/23/05 - 1:43pm)
Mother! Mis na kita! =)
(Ronch is my pretty agent now that never fails to turn heads whenever we hang out. My divisoria buddy and soon 2 b boxing buddy. Hehe humabol pa sa post ko tong batang to.)these are the things that makes me smile. when im at my wits end and is very much tempted to submit a resume to another company, i get to restrain myself by reading these messages in my inbox. somehow, working for this company is still worth it.
