thank you for calling jvc....

i barely have an hour to go before i log-off from work.. and i have to say i'm a bit sad coz today is my last day with my jvc account. for the past 7 months, i've been taking calls from jvc customers to help them out with their stuff... i have to admit that there are days when you just want to bang the phone especially when your callers start to call you names, and blame you for their stupidity... while there are days that you get lucky and encounter nice people at the other end of the line, from the other side of the globe... i'm sad because whether i admit it or not, i did had a fun working with jvc people.. i've met a few friends and learned a lot of things along the way. it would be weird going to work next week with a totally different set of people, saying a different opening/closing verbage but i know i'll adjust.

so for the last time... let me say ...

thank you for calling JVC and have a nice day !!!!

TGIF !!!

it's 8:32 am.... in an hour and a half, i'll be heading home. can't wait to be with my little princess. and can't wait to end my shift coz i have the weekend off. simply means i'll be spending 48 hours with my julia (and of course with my hubbie).

funny a couple of days ago i was complaining about going back to work. if there was only something i can do to stay home and be full time homemaker... now after five days, i'm looking forward to logging off from my computer .... i've survived my first week at work. if there's something i enjoyed about reporting for work, its seeing old friends whom i've lost contact with when i went on a maternity leave.... i also enjoyed browsing through the internet during lull times.. and g-talking with fellow agents in between calls... these made my shift tolerable..somehow...

i know when monday comes i'll be dragging myself back to work... i'll be complaining ... and will be praying to the high heavens that i'll get lucky and win the lottery so i don't have to work anymore... but monday is 48 hours away ... so in the meantime, let me count the minutes until i sign off... and shout to the top of my lungs.. "THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY !!!"

back to work

Feb 20 was a sad day for me.... (actually its feb 21st to be exact) because i had to report back to work with a heavy heart.... it was difficult for me to leave behind my little julia after being with her almost 24/7 for the past 2 months. i couldn't forget the look on her face when i had to leave her behind to earn a living. everyday is a struggle for me as i prepare for work, and every single day i would hope and pray that benjie and i will win the lottery so i don't have to report for work .....

but if you look at the brighter side, i should be thankful because i have work ... that simply means i am capable of earning to provide for my little one and pay all my bills. during these hard times, one should not complain but instead appreciate what you have. if you always dwell on the negative side, you'll end up having a miserable life.

it's 11 am... time for me to log out from work... i'm excited to go home to be with my hubbie and my little one... cant wait to be with them....

a different birthday gift

I turned another year older last Feb 4, 2006 ( i'm now 33 years old !)... ... and unlike my previous birthdays, my natal day last saturday passed by without frills or hint of happiness... aside from the Ultra Stampede tragedy (that killed 74 filipinos and injured almost 500), benjie and i don't have any reason to celebrate because benjie's workplace got burned down the day before. you could just imagine how sad and devastated we were when we went to 22nd St cafe/bar to check out the damage. The place was a total mess and it would definitely take months before the place would be fully operational. This would mean benjie could be displaced for a couple of months... something that really scared the hell out of us because with barely two months after giving birth via ceasarian, and nothing left in our savings, we are just starting to raise our little julia.... we suddenly found ourselves in tears as we hug each other tightly.

but situations like this has a way of bringing out the best in every individual... it keeps your feet on the ground and makes you appreciate the simple things in life... and this i believe is the special gift i have received from the Lord above for my 33rd birthday. yes, benjie and i are still problematic financially, we are still scared about the future, but this does not stop us from moving on with life, instead it gives us a reason to strive harder for our little julia and for each other. we are confident that one day we will bounce back with smiles on our faces, and overflowing love in our hearts .

my 33rd birthday passed by quietly and unnoticed but it sure gave me a different birthday gift, the best birthday gift ever... i have benjie and little julia in my arms to love and cherish forever
