i have always thought of life as a major exam with only different sets of multiple choice. if you still remember the kind of tests we were given during the time we were students (Shocks! some of you are still into school, dang! makes me want to forget my age), there's the essay type, which i think everyone hates; the matching type and the fill in the blanks, and of course the multiple choice. growing up, i aquired this notion that life is a big set of multiple choices.

right now, im faced with a lot of things that requires me to decide which i would prefer - every aspect of life! and it doesnt get any easier. when i was still a kid, since my folks decided to call it quits after 7yrs of marriage, my constant dilemma then was which parent would i spend christmas and new year and of course my birthday. believe me its traumatizing! going back, now, i have to consider a lot of things as im at a cross road at every aspect of my life.

career - im thinking whether its already time to go or if i could still will myself to go on with the kind of set up that we have. i can certainly take the easier path, which is to stay. my job is fairly easy, as compared to other leads - my counterpart in voice. since im now with cyber response, im forever done with putting up with ill-tempered customers who demands the best kind of customer service when their payment history is every bit horrendous! i can temper my boss which means i know how to assert myself when it comes to his decisions. he certainly could not say no to me as i am not only the most tenured lead that he has, more so, i am the most valuable lead, since im the only resource person for conducting the training. but im not learning anything anymore when i feel that there's still a lot to learn. if i just want to settle for this, then i could most certainly stay. besides, that seems to be more appealing as compared to moving. imagine, out of more than 7 thousand (and still growing) employees our company has, im employee number 62! so go figure! that means i know everyone and the higher ups. but then, whats the point of staying if there is no more room for growth?

love - lets not talk about it okay? but that is another cross road. a huge one take note!

family - i had a talk with my dad the other day. i told him im getting tired of playing this reverse role with my mom. i know that when you start working, you kinda have to give back something to your parents. im not complaining about that, in fact, i made that a self obligation. but the thing is, my mom demands a lot from me. the sad part is, that she was the one who left us not my dad. and she never extended any help for my studies. now, dont go on thinking that i still hold a grudge against my mom for that. i have already forgiven her for that, but then i feel that its becoming abusive. since im living with her (proximity to work), she demands a lot of things from me. come to think of it, if there's a parent that i should be more giving to, that should be my dad, since he raised me and my brother up with the help of his siblings. but my dad, as understanding as always, refuses to accept whatever i give him when he knows i have other obligations. during the talk, my dad told me to go home if ever i would transfer to another company. i thanked him and told him i would think about it, as my dad's house is still very far from the other company. aside from that, the place is not very conducive to people who work in the call center industry. if im going to transfer, im most likely have a graveyard shift again which will of course make me very impatient with a lot of things. im really a morning person.

i just hope God will enlighten me so i could make the right decision. i know where i should stand for one aspect and i pray God that He gives me the stength to carry out that decision.

this post is long overdue. anyhow, sometime on the second week of december, on a lovely saturday evening that i happen to be on a rest day, i received a text message from theyie (known as 25 in the blogging circuit). i wanted to savor the night as i haven't had a decent saturday night at home for the longest time, since my sched is 12nn-9pm and my restdays fall on a week day. so there i was at 7pm, having a hot chocolate the one with mallows on it, then i played a dvd - Harry Potter. All of a sudden i heard my jurassic phone's message alert tone signaling i have a message. i picked up the phone and read thru theyie's text and this is what it says:

"Oi, oi no0d ka ng tv, sa channel 7. si gina alajar pala ang pumatay kay nida blanca. nahuli na sya, iniimbestigahan na sya ng nbi."

shempre naloka ko! i called my mom and tita jean and told them about the text message. chismis yon eh! so i immediately switched to tv mode and turned off the dvd player. we then turned to channel 7 and all three of us were talking in excited voices thinking how the hell gina a. would find it in her heart to kill nida blanca. however, the said channel was then airing something else, sort of a documentary on health conditions of a certain barrio. i was suppose to text back theyie and tell her we weren't able to catch it, but then i decided to scroll down. and here's what i've found as a continuation of the text above:

"pero nung tinanong sya sabi nya, karen po, si karen po ako."

we all ended up crestfallen and feeling darn foolish for buying it. eventually we ended up laughing really hard for being so stupid. i told theyie all about it and since i had this habit of deleting the messages as soon as i read it, i asked her to send it again to me, coz my mom wanted to fool some of her friends as well.

lesson learned: scroll down to the end of the text message all the time. hehe

im feeling pretty much the same as DeN lately, although she's feeling damn worse about getting up each day and going to the office. the holidays went by and oh yeah i felt it, not to mention i was overwhelmed with the gifts agents gave me, even those who weren't part of my staff anymore. plus the fact that whatever pounds i lost when i started boxing, i gained over the said 2 weeks. darn!

oh well i got myself a new phone now. sorry this update is really boring. well i guess that would have to do for now. im really in a hurry to get back home. ingats peepz!

Shout-out:

Raquel!!! i got the card many thanks sis. mine is long overdue. but dont worry ill make up for it, promise! ^_^
