4th of july

And so it begins.....8 weeks of hell on earth. Product training started today and as i've expected it would'nt be fun at all. Not as bad as i've imagined but still not good enough for me to say that it will be ok. I don't normally feel sleepy during trainings, but today is very different. I can feel my eyes closing and it seems like it doesnt want to open again, as if it needed a toothpick pegged in between my eyelids for it to be wide open. Fortunately i did not fall asleep. Partly, because i dont want to disrespect the trainer and i dont want to suffer any consequences it may incur. Besides i'm still a good trainee. (No violent reactions pls... hehehehe)

Bad News!
By the end of the week they will be splitting the class into two. Bullcrap! I say, Why would they do that? in the first place they told us that all of us will be assigned to a particular channel. I know its kinda emotional but truth is, it really feels bad to be separated when you're just starting to bond together as a group. Eventhough we know that we will still be separated when we hit the floor. It's different when you are being split into two groups 3 weeks into training. If they want a group for another channel then hire new employees since their primary reason is to ramp up. Splitting the group into 2 is not a solution. Somehow it lowers the morale of the class. HR should know better. They should have forseen this need even before we started training. Well, we really can't do anything about it now but to say its all bullcrap!

Good News!
There will be no work on wednesday! and its with pay! why? because its the fourth of july!!! I think i'm gonna pay attention to US holidays now just because we will have no work if its a major holiday in the US. hehehe

My muscles are still aching from playing basketball last sunday night. It just goes to show that i havent had any exercise or work out for the longest time. Come to think of it, i really dont do exercise or work outs even if im going climbing..hehehe with some exceptions of course. I think i need to work on my cardio and lessen my marlboros coz last sunday, after running the whole lenght of the basketball court 3x i felt like passing out....hahahaha. and did i mention that i dont know how to play basketball anymore...hahaha i wasnt able to shoot the ball during the first half... it was like 0/10 field goals. i usually score a couple or some during the first half. My three pointers was so bad its not funny anymore...but i somehow redeemed myself during the second half. oh well there will be a game again this sunday and i hope if we lose again, it wont be a massacre...hahaha just to give you an idea it was like a 30pt. lead.

and yes the cannibal did pay us a visit! hahahaha

Chunkee

After 2 weeks V&A training is over(Voice and Accent). I know most of us really don't want to get into product training just yet. Partly, because we had a blast with V&A training. It was fun at the same time a good learning experience. It was not the usual training wherein we have activities, games etc etc... so how was it fun? Simply because we did'nt need all of those activities and games to enjoy the training. We never had to try hard to have fun and enjoy. Personally, i liked his way of handling a class. Stories here and there, Jokes flying around, Bloopers etc. and still absorb what we have to learn in the process. So after the class we headed right away to chunkee boy's to have a celebration of some sort. Too bad the trainer wasn't able to make it. Surprisingly everyone made an effort to be there, because most the time a couple or a group of people usually can't make it. I think everybody had a great time yesterday, specially the freeloaders hehehe.... Oh well can't really get rid of them. Trust me, ive been with too many training class and groups and there's always a freeloader hehehe. Honestly, tell me how do they do it? hehehe. I shared a story with some of my wavemates yesterday and its good to know that somehow they shared the same sentiments with me. It kinda relieved me in some ways because they understood my point. Around 10am we have had enough beers or should i say we don't have enough funds left so we decided to call it a day hehehehe. So as monday night comes near we really dont know what to expect on our product training. As much as we want to have the same atmosphere as V&A training we really can't do anything. I just hope it won't be some form of hell on earth. Watch out the cannibal might just pay us a visit!... hehehe

V&A training officially ended today. So after 4 beers and a thousand stories we decided to call it a day. I got home around 11am then went straight to bed. After 2 hours i woke up already..what's wrong with me.. hehehe i thought beer could help you get some sleep??? Anyways im going to post some more later. Im not yet in the right state of mind to write something.

The Cure

i feel like posting this song today....

I would say I'm sorryIf I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this timeI have said too much
Been too unkind
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do
So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with liesI try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
I would tell youThat I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've alreadyGone away
Misjudged your limit
Pushed you too farTook you for granted
I thought that you needed me more
Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

i need a cure!

Two more days until our voice and accent training ends. The past two days had been great, we were doing nothing. We just come to work to chit-chat and the good thing is that we get paid for it hehehe. I really love training you just sit there and you get paid every two weeks. So while sharing stories with my wavemates today someone asked me about my ex-girlfriend and how long was our relationship. I told her that we were together for five years, then all of a sudden she asked why did'nt you guys get married? I was stunned for two seconds thinking of what to say. Then i asked myself why? Honestly I really dont know. We had plans before but i guess it was not that serious. I'm more in favor of "living-in" concept, its more practical i guess. Right now if your going to ask me im quite doubtful about marriage. It's not that i dont believe in it, It's just that if i'm getting married i really want to make sure that it will last. It costs a lot of money here in the philippines to get an annulment and divorce is non-existent. That's why im pro-divorce/annulment (rolleyes). I remember my religion professor way back in college saying that marriage is just paper, It's just a legal way of using someone's body. Maybe he has a point. come to think of it, if the mariage was not consumated. It's a ground for a divorce. So technically if you did not have sexual intercourse with your spouse you can file for a divorce.

So after four months of being a BUM i am working again. It finally came to my senses that i need to work again hehehe. Unfortunately im in the call center industry again, i really tried to look for a non call center job but can't find a good one. Good thing is that i have a fixed schedule, weekends off. Which means i can climb again! For a while i lost interest, but now im good. I miss it. Well, so far so good. I like my wavemates. Can't say anything bad about them. I hope it stays that way until we hit the floor (literally or figuratively). I think im gonna stick to my work for a while... not because i love it but because of the 100k bond hahaha...

Here's where the story ends.....

This is my second attempt to write a blog. I've been out for the past several months due to some, as i would like to say it "slight complications". It has been a roller coaster ride for me. I was, at some point pushed to the limit. You have no idea what i went through. For the first time, the words "stressed out and depressed" existed in my vocabulary. Maybe in time i'll write the whole story in this blog. But since im lazy and not that good of a writer, don't count on it. hehehe.
