A Hard Day's Work

Perhaps all of you might be wondering about all the bickering and shit I write on here. Well, it just so happenned that this has been my therapy after a hard day's work of solving problems of other people who don't even know how to express their gratitude. But a gesture of goodbye that seems to have been the only thing to say before they put their phone down in a rush.

Sheesh, not even a simple thank you. Fucking retards! No wonder majority of all these people don't know how to party. You won't even imagine. Folks here drink at 9pm and end their party at 12mn. Few barely could walk home. Drunk. Sitting on alleys. Sleeping on the cold pavement while WE enjoy the music and the scene of people making out and exchanging tongues on the dance floor. I can't believe how much they're missing by just being drunk, haha!

I guess the saying work hard, party harder won't apply here. All they do is work from dusk to dawn. And then work harder and then just give up one day due to exhaustion. Whether they admit it or not, they're fortunate that they have Filipinos around. They could use a little humor and party action.

Singapore, get ready to be conquered!!! :)

Ancient History

Ancient history. That's all I have to say. I used to update my blog everyday or every week whenever possible but due to some things, I wasn't able to in months.

I recently moved from the Philippines to Singapore for a job I had applied for eight months ago. And I think everything is doing okay. I get paid more to the things I used to do back home. But clients are more demanding and are devil incarnates. So I guess it's but a fair bargain.

All the while I thought Americans are hard-headed. Wait till you meet Singaporeans. I don't know, it might just be the cultural differences that made them the way they are. There's just a whole stretch of things that you would have to understand before getting them. It's just a matter of getting used to.

A lot had happenned since I moved that I don't even know where to begin. If I have some spare time in the future, will update and write about everything.

I need to rest my case for now as I have an early day set for tomorrow. Early shift tomorrow.

FOR ONCE we were...

Convergys days had passed so soon. Soon than everyone expected. And I find myself now at the crossroads where everything seems foreign. Everything new. Everything that I used to be and used to have, now set aside to open the new chapter of my life.

I remember something that my uncle told me. And it goes like, "When you resign or retire from work, you are missed. You will be missed today. And after a few days, life would go on. Business as usual." My uncle may be right but I refuse to believe everything would be just the same without me. (ahem!)

My presence is so not to be ignored. I am a star in my own right. I invented the word spotlight. Much better, limelight. Celebrities won't be celebrities without me. And models are not the same without me. :)

My point being, I may not rock the walls of Convergys One again. Other people may try to do it. But nobody does it better than the one who made it all happen, me.
My friends would always be my friends. They will forever be treasured.

BITTERSWEET

I don't know how to emphasize this enough but things had been a bit hazy for me lately. I have made major decisions in my life and never had I been so powerful and firm in my lifetime.

Two weeks ago, I decided to call it quits and leave Convergys for good. I thought about resigning before but that did not materialize, not until now. Thanks to the friends I have and the bonds that I made, I procrastinated my plan.

I am writing this blog entry as my last one while still at Convergys. It will be that last one entry I am ever going to post. The rest that would follow are entries that would pertain to the new chapter for that road uncharted. The falls, the stumbles, the rises, the joys and the grims I have to go thru, not really in that order.

Bittersweet memories are running thru my head while writing this entry. I have been part of Convergys long enough to meet and bump with some interesting friends and other walks of life. Some that became friends. Some that became an inspiration. Few that became foes and that relatively small portion that I have had misunderstandings with. And yes, that one person that made my heart thump. That one person that made me experience the shivers, the excitement and the thrills of sneaking and stalking all for love's sake. All of those are but a past. The past better off reminisced but not relived.

I have made my resignation as quiet as possible. In fact, a few people only knew about it which I wanted. It was not because I hate dramas but because I preferred graceful exits over hysterical ones. After all, I am a model in my own right.

Many were shocked with the decision that I had made. I have always been the "perky one" among the flock. The hyperactive and the jolly one could ever meet. And I intend to keep the title. I don't want friends to see me crying with tears all over my face. I want them to remember that God damn jolly person they met. That happy-faced. That guy with a genetically unusual high-pitched voice not the crybaby.

I don't know if people were really sad I resigned. But I know majority did. There will always be that marginalized few that were happy I was gone because it was minus one to competition. Genuinely enough, I felt their "I-miss-yous" and the "I'll-text-yous".


I am a firm believer of that saying, "no goodbyes only see you later". And friends, we will see each other later still. It has been fun working with you guys.
