free time: work and enjoy

I work during my free time because I'm enjoying what I'm doing. Thanks E for being so great.

It's been a while, long while

It's been a while, long while, that I haven't shared my stories here. I think I had but failed to hit publish post button. (whew)

Year 2007 was full of overwhelming surprises. Actually, positive surprises. To name a few: had salary increase, met reliable-fun friends, travel-travel and finally committed to a special soul. (lovestruck)

In the year 2008, I could say that the world was against us. I don't know why and what's behind all of these. It was very difficult but still moving on. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. I'm scared, really scared. I cried a lot but only few saw tears falling down my eyes. I'm a strong woman, that's what all people think. But hey no, despite the funny-strong look on my face, inside me was entirely different. I felt really bad. I was weak, sickly and felt like a mentally deranged patient. Although it was a total blackout in my part, I managed to survive because He never failed me. I was granted a year and four months to enjoy life with my mom. I'm her number one fan. I loved her so much. And I will surely miss her. Everything will for always be in my heart.

Moving on time. 2009 was no joke. New things. New life after our mom rested in peace with the Lord last May 1, 5:25p.m. The scene before she left was last April 26 was full of surprises. My mom asked me to accompany her to the hospital because she felt very weak. Knowing that she was in great pain, she was still able to speak to me with gentleness and concern. Concern as a mother that her child won't panic. Wow, she's one great woman. I salute her for everything. So we went straight to the hospital with my eldest brother. There she was well taken care of...of me of course. I savored every moment when we were together. We played the role of mother and child. Now, I'm the mother and my nanay, the child. She was very fragile but she never complained. Many of her friends, relatives, and even our classmates visited "our beloved nanay". Everyone shared happy thoughts and all of these were captured in our cameras and most especially in our minds and hearts. If someone was taken away, something best comes in. We are very much happy and fortunate that we have tita Nonoy, my mom's elder sister. She's very generous, loving, understanding, caring and ever supportive. Despite our combat, she's there for us, ALWAYS. I love you tita Nonoy and thank you so much for the entire thing. Christmas and New year were spent in our home with lola Trining, tita Nonoy, Manong Jude, Manong Jack, Inday Teresa, tito Ed and myself. We savored every moment. So much praise were given to our Almighty for all the blessings in life we received.

Year 2010. Great time, new life, fun, love, acceptance and respect enveloped our family. I had a break. My brother Peter Jude, Dave and I went to Singapore for a 6 days vacation. (unfortunately my brother Jack wasn't able to come with us because he had a his early vacation to Palawan) The trip was fun! And of course, I'd like to say thank you so much to my cousin Rolla, and friends :Jenny, Ralph, Erwin and Ardy for being with us during your free days.

Anyhow, I learned so much about life. Every thing that comes along my way, may it be big or small, are for always treasured. For all the people who have been with us in our difficult journeys, thank you for the love, support and most of all your prayers. Praise God.

what's next?

2006 was full of mixed emotions. Emotions which gave me a package of betterment for the next big thing.
For the next big thing--that's another 12 months to combat every circumstances, I am certain that I could color up my whole year around again.
For now, it's hooked in my plan to stay long in the room which made myself a "special hotcake"--@ Callbôx.

Recovered

I have recovered...
I have survived...
... those vampire nights!
I could sense Mr. Sun shinning upon me.
I just loved mornings.
Those river eases my being..
The laughter of kids that surrounds me.


a Hotcake product of Callbôx.

...indeed, sacrifices has greater reward(s). Promotion! hahaha.

I ended up being too scattered with words but I am sure you got my point.

bye bye for now.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

Hi blog page.

It's been a long-long time that I haven't touched this page. I've got so many things to share but to make it short: Life in call center is tough and will make you go crazy if you don't know how to handle pressure, frustration and among others. However, in the far end, you will be victorious on how to communicate much better, learn how to convert every mistakes you perform into an interest, and the like.
There are so many people in this business that I value, thank and put my thumbs up towards them.
The only thing which I will never forget: make a lead is the only matter and enjoy!

Batch 14

Take a look...

Peace of mind

I don't feel like finishing my training. I can sense no enjoyment. I experienced bunch of pressure and my peace of mind have gone far away that even myself can no longer find it. Sisa where are you???. hahaha. But honestly I am not the type of person who quits immediately. I do combat and hold tighter to my ability if ever struggle comes along with me, but right now I can sense no worth if I will hold on it. I am suffering. I simply ask that at the end of my work, I will feel serenity but no room for it. Everytime I am home after my 12 a.m.-9a.m. duty, supposedly resting, my heart is not at ease. Pressured and enveloped with stress. It doesn't sound and feel good. So I am deciding to quit yet place things in good hands. Pray for me.

::Results will be updated.

Have a great day.

Recap

I went to Iloilo last February 28 for my training at Callbox Costumer Contact Solution as a call center agent and still on going. The first week was our classroom training and a portion of it is getting to know each other and more of familiarization of key things in a call center. I belong to batch 14. According to the pioneer and the trainors we have, our batch is a package of good individuals. I can attest to this because everyone in our batch are versatile. We have a dentist, a French teacher, medical technologist, two laides and three gentlemen who have call center experience, two Korean tutors, a real estate employee before, medical representaive agent, a nursing student but he prefer to focus to have a job at the age of 18, former callbox agent, and two athletes who happen to be in the same school in college as well as able to excel in sport they are in. I know you can point out where I am there in the lucky 14. I am so happy to belong in this batch because our personality merged together. I have mature minds to approach when my low self-esteem rings. Child-like buddies to pour out the loud laughs we have within. I also have my three sisters to share "the girl thing" thoughts. And I am the prettiest. hahaha. And with this, I am reminded of my sala-set sisters I left in Bacolod (April and Joan). I guess both of them were opening right and then my blog and always open no new blog update. I apologize for that alert pals!. But hey, here I am trying to give you some experiences I have in Region Six. I miss my HOI pals. I'll try to post the pictures I took the next time I happen to surf the internet. Oh, by the way, Last March 5, our company held its sportsfest. And ofcourse, I have my nerves on for volleyball and won the game. The championship game is on going today but I did not join since I took the last trip yesterday for me to go home and celebrate my birthday here then. So Happy Birthday to me. ( * *,). Happy 21!. Oh, thank you for greeting me guys!, you know who you are. After my two nights sleep in my real home, I'll catch for Monday's 5:30p.m. trip because I need to report for work from 12:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. My work schedule is from Mondays until Fridays; 12:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m. It is a vampire body clock. But no worries because most vampires has gorgeous and few handsome faces, hahaha. Count me in the gorgeous! (- -,).
Behind all those likeable details, the most difficult part being a call center agent is your call quota and must have success calls to accomplish for your account. And unkind interaction from prospects your are calling--especially those gatekeepers! I honestly do have this difficult time having all those things being taught to me all set in my mind since I am not a night person. Maybe it is the reason why my mind is no full. But I am trying to absorb it gently as much as I can. I'll be used to it. And I can attest that everything can be learned as you go along. I am much thankful to those who are possessing their fulltime patience on me. Thank you. Thank you. You'll have something from me soon. For the meantime that's all I can share.
