biggie steps for me

CAMZKIE'S FLIGHT TO FREEDOM:

i filed my resignation last tuesday. it was a first for me. and you know what they say about first times.

if you wanna know just how much i loathed my job, here's a picture--i am nearly always in a state of almost-crying by the end of every shift. that's how bad it was. i've gotta admit that a big reason why i applied for the job in the first place is because of the big bucks it promised. but as i've obviously and painfully learned, money isn't everything. not if the job your doing does not fulfill you in ways you have dreamed.

oh of course there are perks--things i've learned, friends i made. i improved my english beyond recognition that i came from customers demanding to talk to someone else coz they can't understand my accent to them actually saying that they couldn't tell that i am not an american (which, coming from them, is actually a very good thing to hear). man, i so wanna go back to college, i will rule and rock the world with recitations and presentations..if i bothered to prepare for em at all. hehe. okay, im blabbing, i'll stop now.

a word to fresh graduates: think twice before going for a call center job. the money you get--it's certatinly enticing. but time will come and you will feel that there's gotta be more to life than this. not that i'm looking down on this job. it's just that, very few would choose to answer phone calls for the rest of their careers--and that in itself is a challenge. i suppose it's a job that someone must take care of, but i'm sure i'm not that person.

a few more weeks and i'll be off working with Riz (and i hope she won't regret it, herher). i feel a little sad knowing that i have established a name for myself here, proving that i can rise and meet the challenge.

but i just think that i can carve a niche for myself over at that new job. meet expectations, beat challenges.

that thought always makes me smile.

OUR SECOND LEASE ON LIFE

as some of my friends are aware, daddy was infected by dengue a couple of weeks ago. i was so worried that i lost it in front of my monitor while i was sending an SR and just bawled like a baby. of course, my former teammates all tried to get me talking, and they all stated categorically (and probably untruthfully) that they all, at one point in their lives, got infected by dengue but look they all lived so nothing to worry about. haha. and yeah.. it prompted a flurry of stalker-like SMS messages to unsuspecting friends who were probably minding their own businesses at that time.

my sincerest gratitude to those who replied. you have no idea how much it meant to me that you were all there, asking how he is and just checking in. it made me feel that somehow, i am not alone in my battle.

and yeah. i know what friends are for. when death is looming and danger is passing, you would forget to think about anything else, even you. and it's nice that i've got a bestfriend who thinks of me for me.

and in case you did not notice, the subtitle reads "OUR second lease on life".

ours. because life as i know it would cease to exist without him to share it with. God truly reserves the best blessings when you need it most.

DVD/GETAWAY NIGHT

wanna know just how addicted i am with Gilmore Girls? aside from scouring youtube for snippets of videos and episodes, i decided to go through all of their transcrpits from season 1 to season 6. so far, im now in season three. crazy, i know. i love the shoe. and it's definite. i am a hundred percent jess-rory fan. did you know their loveteam was called illiterati? that is so cool. all right, i'm probably freaking you out wit all this psycho/groupie-ish babble. i'll stop now.

hopefully, in a few days, i will be a happy, happy owner of a set of Gilmore Girls DVDs, from season 1-6. that, and a cutie Tamagochi. hihi.

looking forward to DVD night with daddy, and getaway night with daddy and joey and..this other friend that we have. im gonna bail and we're going to antipolo, how cool is that? sorry, im just excited.

LURVE, LURVE, LURVE!

13 months and counting. I love you, dad.

PS. take a peek at his brand-spanking-new layout. my monthsary gift.

camie girl. just as i thought. you have this i-wanna-resign-thing when I saw your monitor days ago looking for "sample resignation letters" hee hee. being in a contact center business might probably train you to speak well, gain more friends, learn to live like a vampire (you know, sleep in the morning and being awake at night), drink beer at 6am and stuff but it really takes a lot of strength, for one, getting ready for work during the night and endurance to get it done and most of all its either loving your job without hating other people (the customers) or totally swallowing your pride because you have to. I actually learned both. =) hope you'll be happy with your next career.


Is today your monthsary? with your daddy? congrats!! I always felt a sudden rush of blood when I see or hear somebody celebrating their annivs, not because I envy them but maybe because i will miss my anniversaries and I will miss it forever. dengue is one scary illness but what's fatal? is losing somebody and dont even know what to do when you miss him. so you better take care of each other. **hugs**

andami kong sinabi eh no! ^.^

i know it takes alot of strength, and i don't have that. at least not that kind of strength. but im glad i worked here. at least i got to try it, and i met a lot of nice people. i'm sad coz we were just getting to know each other. but you can bet i'll keep in touch. :)

DON'T WAIT
Dashboard Confessional

The sky glows
I see it shining with my eyes closed
I hear your warnings but we both know
I'm gonna look at it again

Don't wait, Don't wait
The road is now a sudden sea
And suddenly, you're deep enough
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down

You get one look
I'll show you something that the NIGHT took.
A bit to early for my own good
Now let's not speak of it again

Don't wait, Don't wait
The road is now a sudden sea
And suddenly, you're deep enough
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down

Don't wait, Don't wait
The lights will flash and fade away
The days will pass you by
Don't wait
To lay your armor down [x5]

I LOVE YOU, MOMMY. :loveeyes:

things are looking up for us. i remember you say that. and i believe that; never will stop believing. i know we're up for some things greater than we've had. i know this because of you, of your existence in my love. again, i would like to thank you for all your efforts. you have proven every bit of things that are expected to be proven, asked or not. you're really a wonder, girl.

for that, i promise to get you that cute ol' tamagochi soon. :)

I LOVE YOU, MOMMY. :loveeyes:

i believe in us too, daddy. :)

i know that troubles are still to come, and i know we'll get over all that. just because we love each other so much. and remember this: even when i'm trying to walk away, it doesn't mean i'm leaving. i'm just trying to find my way back to you. to us.

i'll count on that. :) eat well, oki?

I LOVE YOU TOO, DADDY.

Paradise Philippines

The Philippines is an archipelago with over 7,000 islands located about 805 km off the southeast coast of Asia. The Philippines has several wonderful vacation spots: Boracay, Baguio, Palawan, and lots of other paradise-like haunts. Join us as we take you to the wonders of Paradise Philippines.

Filipino Pride


The Philippine flag was first conceptualized by Emilio Aguinaldo. The first flag was sewn in Hong Kong by Marcela de Agoncillo, her daughter Lorenza, and Dona Delfina Herbosa de Natividad, a niece of Jose Rizal, the Philippines' national hero. The flag is displayed with the blue field on top in times of peace, and with the red field on top in times of war. (Source: Wikipedia)
