Hey, I have new shirts designs which are primarily inspired by one of my passion, photography. So check it out and tell me which design you like the most so I would know which design I would release. Here's what I got so far. I'll be adding new designs as soon as I find time for it.

Sa Marso, pag-uwi ng aking Auntie mula sa Australia. Magkakaroon na ako ng aking pinapangarap na Holga Lomo Camera (120 CFM). Matagal ko na gusto subukan ang "Lomography". Kakaiba ito dahil ang Holga ay mayroong plastik na lente at kung tutuusin, ang mga litrato na nagagawa nito ay produkto ng sablay na pagkaka-gawa ng camera. Madalas na "Over-saturated" at may "Color-Leak" ang mga litrato na kuha mula sa isang Lomo Camera. Pero, iyon mismo ang nagpaganda sa mga litrato na kuha mula dito. "Retro" kumbaga. Sa susunod, POP9 naman ang bibilin ko.

Masaya to. Subukan ninyo, sa bahay!

Paano mo malalaman kung LOVE mo ang
isang tao?

1.Kapag hindi nag-text nang isang
araw, nami-miss mo o nagwo-worry ka.

2.Kapag may iba siyang katext,
nagseselos ka.

3.Habang katext mo, biglang nagpaalam
na matutulog na… maiinis ka.

4.Tuwing aalis siya, inaalam mo kung
saan siya pupunta.

5.Curious ka sa family niya.

6.Kapag dumampi ang balat/kamay niya
sa ‘yo, iba ang feeling mo.

7.Pagtunog ng cellphone mo, pangalan
niya ang ine-expect mong lumitaw.

8.Bago ka matulog, siya ang iniisip mo.
Paggising mo, siya pa rin ang una mong
maiisip.

9.Iniisip mo siya habang binabasa mo
ito right now…

As of this writing, I already handled 34 customers and I stil have an hour left for my shift. This is not right. Having like 20 calls per day is already hell. This is not cool. Hazelton is having a snow storm and that is why we're taking LARGE volume of calls. Hassle.

I just remember the time when Philippines was struck by "Milenyo", we are still asked to report for work. Keyword here, "UNFAIR".

The rules: The first player of this game starts with the "6 weird things/habits about yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a blog of their 6 weird habits/things, as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their comments and tell them to read yours

6 weird things about me that you might not know:

1. I have the tendency to become a cheap drunk if I am drinking beer but if you'd dare me to have a drinking marathon and what we have to drink are just hard drinks like brandy, vodka or tequilla, I can go on an on and on. From sunset to sunrise.

2. I learned how to drive on my own. Nobody taught me how to drive. I still drive without license and I have never been caught by any police.

3. I have been commuting all my life and there suddenly came a time when I got afraid of crossing the street. I got over it already though.

4. I have a collection of cigarette packs before. My Mom saw it and she dumped everything.

5. One more alcohol related thing about me, I can drink a glass full of brandy with just a little bit of soda for my chaser. Beat that!

6. I am an impulsive buyer most of the time. ;p

I tag whoever would be able to read this. ;p

YOUNG BLOOD
Inside call centers

Source: http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/columns/view_article.php?article_id=104671

Perhaps many people have already written about the wonders and benefits of the call center industry: how it has been providing generous pay, perks and privileges to the twentysomethings, or how it has provided jobs to thousands of Filipinos all over the country.

These are the known facts. But what about the unknown bits and pieces that make up a call center?

Oftentimes, things “unknown” are interpreted to mean scary or ugly or even taboo. In the call center industry, however, it does not need to have always a negative connotation. So I am writing to share with everyone some unknown facts: anecdotes, procedures and other crazy stories that make an entire industry. These are basically experiences someone inside the industry encounters almost on a daily basis that may shock, disturb or simply amuse.

Here then is a chronicle of my not-so-ordinary, five-year, call center experience.

Fact No. 1: The call center is the new church of the gay religion. Work in a call center for just one day (or night, since most call centers are on graveyard shift anyway) and you will meet dozens of gorgeous, uh, men. They can be divided into three groups: (1) the homophobic straights (these are the guys who would pulverize over-aggressive gay men in public restrooms), (2) the curious straights (their primary preference are women but when enticed or seduced by gay men, they give in), and (3) the certified gays, who can be sub-categorized into two groups -- the peppermints, a.k.a. “Pa-MHIN-Ta,” (discreet, still-hiding-in-the-closet gay men, and the flambouyants who either cross-dress or are just too loud and proud of their homosexuality).

Fact No. 2: The call center industry is the breeding ground for “college bosses.” Gone are the days when a typical boss was an old, fat, balding guy who ordered everyone around and asked anyone to fix him a cup of coffee. In the call center industry, you get to meet very young bosses whose ages range from 22 to 25 years. They are definitely not the classic “The Devil Wears Prada” bosses, instead they are your carefree, fresh-from-college bosses who love to party and drink Starbucks coffee as if it’s water. Oftentimes, these bosses get to where they are not because of their superior skills and intelligence but because of their great “talent” to smother their own bosses with praises and compliments and their ability to kiss butts.

Fact No. 3: The call center industry is slowly turning into a haven for the “plastics.” The movie “Mean Girls” glorified the “plastics” as portrayed by Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams. They are basically persons who do not show their true colors, and most of the time they engage in backbiting.

Working in a call center exposes you to the world of “plastics.” Beware of those who treat you extraordinarily nice, those who appear too friendly, because they are oftentimes the same persons who say the unkindest things about you behind your back. Once I took an elevator, with two colleagues whom I will just call Gorio and Tekla. We made small talk and I heard Tekla say, “Gosh, Gorio, you’re so funny talaga…” and ended with a sweet, melodious laugh. Gorio laughed with her and got off the elevator. As soon as the poor guy was out of earshot, Tekla looked at me, made a face and said, “Gosh, Allyn, I hate that guy! He is so 'pa-bibo'… taking out our boss for cocktails just to get promoted. He’s so undeserving! Duh!”

I wanted to ask Tekla, “Wasn’t it just seconds ago when you were cracking jokes with Gorio? And now you’re telling me you hate the guy?” Like, duh!

Fact No. 4: The call center industry is the modern-day Garden of Eden. Remember it was in that garden where Adam and Eve met and fell in love, and now the call center is a paradise for lovers. It is where single men and women meet, work together and fall in love. It is also where married men and married women meet, work together, fall in love and leave their wives or husbands. Morality and social obligations are often overlooked, if not, deliberately forgotten as lust triumphs completely.

Fact No. 5: The call center industry is a ticket for foreign travels. Most call center companies nowadays include training abroad as part of the job offer to entice the best applicants. True enough, there are call centers that send their employees to places like United States and United Kingdom on all-expense-paid trips. There are so many stories about young men and women who had the wonderful opportunity of traveling overseas, thanks to generous companies.

These are just some of the many things that very few people know about the call center industry. In writing about them, my intention is not to expose or mock people working in the industry or expose some ugly, hidden truths, policies or procedures. I am merely writing about the experiences I had while working in a call center. After working in the industry for five years, I think I can say I know its ins and outs. Indeed the industry is worth venturing into, as it promises an unbelievable and magical journey.

I took a break from watching the Senate Hearing about the ZTE NBN Deal and switched channel from ANC to MTV. One of my favorite band is on MTV. I'm like, oh my god! It's Paramore. I really, really like Haley Williams! She's so cute!!!

I'll be having a new schdule by next week. I'll be part of the so-called "Normal Employees" since I will be working 8 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon and I was able to get the weekend off. So I am only available at work during business hours and during business days. ;p

Well, I didn't bother to choose the schudule itself, the only thing I considered is the restday since my Auntie from Australia will be here by March 1st. It's gonna be fun! Beach! Here I come!!! After two long years of wait!!!

I can now go with my friends whenever they will be going somewhere to take pictures of anything under the sun. Damn, I really can't wait to get my hands on a lomo cam. I might get the Diana+ instead of Holga though. But it's all good. It's a great camera anyway.

The only downside here is that I'll be going to work during rush hour and I'll be going home during rush hours as well which sucks since there's gonna be a traffic jam.

Hmm... Let's see how this will work out. Wish me luck with me my new sked!
