wow!!! i went to the DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) and i was amused with the thickness of the crowd.. i can't believe the volume of people i have seen. whatever time of the day, it's still the same...jam-packed as how they described it. I went there to apply for my passport for i am planning to go somewhere else aside from my home country. Am pushing my luck somewhere else..Going back, i can't imagine the volume of people whom i guess has the same thoughts as of mine. You can easily make a conclusion that most of the people nowadays are trying to find means to find better oppurtunities. But that was speaking in general for we don't know others' reasons...I saw kids with their parents squeezing their way in...After long hours of standing and waiting and chatting with strangers just to find diversion of your boredom..Well, am done with the processing but the releasing will take weeks...for the regular it takes almost 15 days and for the overtime processing it takes almost 10 days..because it excludes the weekends which are non-working days for most of us. i prefer to have it delivered home when it was released...
At the end of the day, one thing is clear to me..."in a world like ours, surpassing obstacles coming our way leads you on the path of better oppurtunities...there is no room for turning back...if you have your purpose and your means...don't think twice...just do it..."
"an average person's view is packed with all the reality of life, no one can offer..."

frustration.............
Frustration kills many people... It's an enemy unseen, enheard but exists in each and everyone of us. It's the product of too much expectation, mistrust and failures. How to cure it? it depends on us, we built it within us and therefore we are the only ones who could destroy it. It may look that easy but it is not, if unmanaged it may lead to more serious and more complicated one. It is normal to feel such but it becomes not normal if you let it control you. It's within you so take control of it.
There are so many ways that can be suggested as a cure or therapy but the thing is, not unless you are prepared to take these you'll never make it to the stage of moving on. The first thing is acceptance....accept everything has a reason and time can't be brought back...what is done is done...the next thing is the thing you need to think of...letting go is the next step.
There are times where you need to fight yourself to redeem yourself... confusing? yes it is but it is the way it is done...

reality bites!! ouch!
I once again caught myself in a middle of knowing what to do next and when to do it. Well, I always wondered why we ever need to be in this situation where we need to pick between black or white, high or low..But there are times when I fully understand why we need to and that is to teach us something that will leave a great lesson that we will lived with. Like my psychology teacher always put as an example, if you once slipped on a peel of banana you'll keep that in mind so whenever you come across with a peel of banana on the floor you'll make sure that you'll not step on it. It's the same with us, not unless we experience something we'll never learn from it. If you're careless with your words, and a tactless type of person well you'll never learn to choose your words not unless you'll encounter a person who'll make you realize you need to or just a simple but hard slap on your face. It's the same when you fall in love, when you're there you feel there is no world outside and everything is just the two of you. No one can tear you apart as how others say it. But when your fantasy moment failed to make it to paradise you'll then start to realize the lost time and lost opportunities that you let go because you thought nothing is more important that what you have. That the only thing you need to live is just each other.
Well, failure sometimes plays a good part in our lives. Although its really hard to recover that easy from the effect of failing but sooner or later you'll learn to. That's life in deed, a journey that we are all taking and the finale depends on the roads you take and decisions you'ved made.

motorshow!!!!!!!!!!
Have you ever been in a motor show? I bet if you are not a motor interested type of person try attending a motor show and see how magnificient a person could be in making their imagination to life, you'll be thinking twice...I have a motor 110cc only.. not the expensive ones that drops your jaws down and i could say i only have it because i need it.. but in a sense where i am taking time looking at it and fixing things or even finding new things for it..well, nah...but last week i accidentally attended a motor show and even if its not that huge motor show like what you can see in racing movies or sort of those movies still, i went from being just a motor user to a motor critic. I then begun to appreciated the efforts and hardwork that is thrown to these bikes that was so amazing...(maybe one thing is that I just saw some..)Well, I thought it will not take time to stay there but believe it or not I spent time staring again and again to those bikes and asking myself why do the owners did this? what's their purpose? Is this a hobby or what? well, the thing is i appreciated it alot...up to the point where i begun surfing for motorshow all over the world and searching for hottest models of bikes...crazy but true... but one thing is for sure..if you want to pursue in this kind of thing you have to full your pocket because this is not just tens or hundreds of money we're talking about in here..if you want to caught the attention of the crowd be prepared for the cost...anyway, you'll find alot of self-fulfillment and it'll boost your confidence and self-esteem i bet...

call center life
Being in the call center industry is one of the best part in my life. Aside from the fact that it was my first official job, I learned alot...Lots of things I could say that had helped me become a better person. You will learn to discipline yourself whether you like it or not..haha. You'll be attending shifting schedules depending on the time difference of the country your calling on behalf of and you'll learn to communicate with people in different aspects and that is a must... I begun loving this kind of work aside from the fact that it pays more than other jobs for my age in the Philippines well its full of surprises.. Every working day is exciting, you'll learn something new, something different everyday.. No specific thing to concentrate to or to master.. you can master a campaign for now then the next day you'll be training to start up a new campaign.. Can you imagine how complicated yet exciting that can be? If your a type of person who loves proving others what you can do and loves to on shiftings especially at night.. Well, this is the right job for you. I could say that for the last two years I'ved improved alot.. I am more confident in saying what I want to say, my typing speed increase tremendously, I am more open and more friendly.. My comprehension improved alot as well.. I learned to read between the lines and became more sensitive with others feeling.. Things like that might be unnoticeable but it suddenly became part, a huge part of what I am now... There are lots of people working in a call center that has lots of potentials and capabilities that all companies are looking for but for some reason they went contented to what they are doing right now.. Of course in everything there is always a disadvantage, in this case the disadvantage of being in this kind of business is.. One, its hard to determine the true friends and companions.. Most of the people here are friendly and approachable therefore its really hard to tell if they are true of not.. They know when to say and not to say things and they can make themselves sound sincere even if they are not. After all that's what they do over the phone and that's what they are trained for... Two, they became lazy... Since the work only requires your skills in communication, comprehension, computer literacy and some minor inter personal skills... some tends to feel proud and lazy.. when your on the floor (as of how they call it the place with tables aligned with computers and phones each..basically the operations area) you'll be sitting there for the whole shift of course that excludes the breaks and lunch, all that is working in your system is your eyes, mind and mouth... You later on will develop backaches, ear aches and some muscle aches since you are no longer exercised... after work you'll travel your way home and sleep... You'll wake up and eat then do some roving around your room or house and then dress up for work... Good for people who manage to find time to do extra curricular activities such as playing sports and exercising.. If you notice most of the people working in a call center do drinking and loves going to bars and pubs... That's what they do during they free time.. And also if you notice its a common thing with people working in this kind of business has minimal patience with the company they are in.. They gain too much confidence that they sometimes tend to misuse it.. They are sometimes overwhelmed with the idea that they are on the right side and they deserve to have more or better.. That's why its seldom to see people staying in one call center for how many years.. usually months.. funny in a way but true.. complicated yet exciting... easy in a way but boring sometimes... one true thing that's hard to explain.. If this set up is what you are looking for then go grab a seat in a call center...
people are people
Life can be unfair at times. But we must always read between the lines. There are things that we might have forgotten to say thanks. Like having other things others are unfortunate to have one, like having to feel love and being loved in return while others are dying to have one..Such things that we often don't say thanks... Well, people will always be people as the saying birds will still be birds no matter what color and feature. We people are never contented, i guess that word never put a permanent position in anything.. When you were a child you wish to grow up fast, when your already a grown up you wish to be child again after seeing the advantages of being a child and the conflicts of being a grown up. Its like wishing to have a beautiful bag that you almost dream every night then when you had it you tend to look for better ones and started dreaming about it again...huh,,life is confusing because people make it confusing.
