College ako nung makabili ako ng album ng eheads (katas ng scholarship allowance hehehhe)yun cutterpillow. Halos muntik ng kainin nung cassette yun tape kasi paulit ulit na lang sa pagplay..

College din ako nun nung nagkaroon ng concert ang Eheads sa Legazpi City. Super excited ako non at talagang pinamalita ko sa classmates ko.. ang kaso... gabi ng concert yun best friend ko na nangako na sasamahan ako nagback out!!!!!!!! Ayun hindi ako nakapanood tapos yun mga classmate ko na wlang ka interes interes eh sila pa ang natuloy at nasa unahan pa.

At sa hinaba haba ng panahon.. sino ba ang mag aakala na sa wakas ay may reunion sila... sa tulong ng aking friend na moderator ng The Dawn Listers na si Anjabel.. sinama nya ako sa VIP list ni Buddy (o di ba ang saya!!!!)...

Excited na talaga ako...super super super!!!!

Cebu Pacific, Its time Your Money Flies!

Last April, my friend requested me if I could use my credit card to purchase her ticket, so on April 14, 2008, i bought an online round-trip ticket to manila-singapore. However, much with my carelessness, I mistakenly inputed her last name on the first name field without checking it had it confirmed. The following day, I called the customer service hotline and I was infomed that its imposible to change the name so she advised to cancel the ticket instead, I was also told that I can get the refund in 4-6 weeks. On April 16, I cancelled the ticket and apply for a new one. On last week of May, my friend informed me that she needs to cancel the flight, so I had it cancelled through Cebu Pacific's website.


After six weeks, I was surprised to see that the refund was not reflected in my credit card statement.

I called the customer service hotline... after 45 minutes of listening to Cebu Pacific's jingle and recorded messages, finally I heared a live human voice (HORAY!).

I followed up on the refund's and found out that my refund request has not yet been attended to. After 6 weeks???? The CS told me that she already forwarded the request to their accounting department so I need to wait for it na lang. Still hoping that they would process my refund... I just said ok ang hung up.

After a month... there's still no refund reflected in my credit card statement. So I called Cebu Pacific again. The second time I followed up on the refund, And to my surprise, at the beginning of the call, the rep was clueless about my request and told me that they do not have those transaction numbers, losing my patience and with a high pitched voice, I said, I have a record of those transactions SO CAN YOU PLEASE CHECK?!!!! After 15 minutes, she found my transaction numbers and to my dismay, i was given the SAME RESPONSE. There was no progress at all, the account is still on que. She tried to calm me down by giving me the number to their accounting department, i took it down and called the number right after. GUESS WHAT. No one answers the phone! I gave up.

After four months, still no refund reflected in my credit card statement, I am getting the same response from their customer service and the sad part is... the credit card company is charging me interests for FOUR MONTHS NOW!!!!

So.. those who are planning to cancel their cebu pacific tickets.... think think think!!

ITS A BIG NO NO TO CANCEL YOUR TICKET, YOU WONT BE ABLE TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK!

Its part of their motto, "It's time everyone flies... if you wont be able to fly, they'll still let your money fly"!!!

New Core Hours

Nagkaroon ng bagong policy sa office namin.. from 9 sets of core hours, ginawang 3 na lang at imbes na 4 hours naging 6 hours. C1: 8am - 2pm, C2: 2pm - 8pm, at C3: 10am - 4pm. Ang buong grupo namin ay naassign sa C2. So kung dati ay pumapasok ako ng 11-8:30pm so dapat ngayon ay either 8am or 9 ako pumasok para hindi ma late. Kung dati rin ay kaltas lang sa sweldo ang ginagawa kapag nalate ka, ngayon ay buo pa rin ang sweldo mo pero may memo naman na naghihintay sa iyo.


Ngayon ang implementation ng bagong shift namin pero kahapon ako nagsimulang pumasok ng maaga para makondisyon ang katawan ko. Grabe ang hirap pala... mula sa paggising ng maaga, hanggang sa pakikipagsiksikan sa nag aabang ng jeep dahil rush hour. Hay hirap. Pero ang kagandahan naman ay maaga akong nakakauwi at madami akong nagagawa sa bahay..

Sana lang ay di ako tamarin gumising sa umaga para hindi ako mabiyayaan ng memo...

Sweldo day for Makati Senior Citizens

Napadaan ako sa Barangay Hall kaninang umaga at napansin ko na ang haba haba ng pila tapos may sumisigaw ng mga numbers. Nakausap ko tuloy ng wala sa oras si Manong Pedicab.

Ako: Manong, ano po yun, bakit madaming matatanda at saka ano yun tinatawag na numbers?
Manong Pedicab: Ah yun ba, sweldo ngayon ng mga senior citizens. Binibigyan sila 1000 pesos.
Ako: 1000 pesos wow naman! Para na din silang pensionado ng gobyerno!
Pedicab: Oo, 3 beses sa isang taon sila kung makatangap. Tuwing ika-apat na buwan. Pero makati lang ang gumagawa nun.
Ako: Sana sa ibang municipalities din meron din nyan...


Bukod sa 1000 pesos na natatanggap nila, meron pa silang cake tuwing birthday or wedding anniversaries, P3,000 burial assistance at libreng sine! O san ka pa!

At least naman sa haba ng panahon ng pinagtrabaho nila, naranasan din nilang ma-enjoy ang tax na nakaltas sa kanila.

4 Months Maternity Leave

Good news mga mommy!

Posibleng maging 4 buwan ang dating 2 buwan na maternity leave na prebilihiyo ng mga nanganganak.

Ito ang panukalang inihain ni Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV. Sa Senate Bill 2383 ni Sen. Trillanes, ikina­tuwiran nito na mahalaga ang ginagampanang pa­pel ng mga kababaihan sa ‘nation-building’ at dapat lamang mapangalagaan ang kapa­ kanan ng mga ito lalo pa’t dumaan sila sa pa­nganganak.

Ang tanong, umayon kaya dito ang mga kumpanya lalo na ang mga nasa private? Hindi kaya masyadong matagal ang 4 months lalo na't paid ito? Meron kayang gagawing hakbang ang SSS or GSIS para iadjust ang benefits nila?

Pero para sa akin, sana matuloy ito para sa ikabubuti ng mga ina at ng kanilang mga baby.

GMA's No Uniform Policy

Engot tong si GMA, pagbaba kaya ng presyo ng gasolina ang atupagin nya hindi yang mga kung anu anong kaistupiduhang idea yang pinagbibigay nya.

Karamihan ng mga studyante sa pinas ay mahihirap, tuwing pasukan nakakuha ng uniform ang mga public school students sa pamamagitan ng: (1) pabigay ng kanilang baranggay o munisipyo, (2) hand-me-down galing sa kapatid, kamag anak, kapitbahay, o kahit kanino, (3) patahi. Karamihan sa kanila ay merong 1-2 pares ng uniform lamang.

Dahil sa kakontian ng uniform nila, karamihan ay wash and wear lang, yun tipong pagkahubad laba agad. Kung tutuusin tipid ito sa karamihan dahil iyon ang susuutin nila sa araw araw.

Dagdag pa dito ang seguridad ng mga bata. Sa internetan, hindi pinapapasok ang mga batang nakauniform kapag oras ng klase. Bawal din sila sa bilyaran at mga malls

Ngayon kung ipapatupad ang civilian, mas hindi yan afford ng mga magulang. Sino ba naman ang magkakagusto na mag araw araw ng damit?? Karamihan sa mga batang iyan, nagkakaron lang ng bagong damit kapag pasko o bday. Buti naman kung pagsuotin sila ng pambahay yun tipong tshirt at short ok na. Idagdag pa dito ang mga epal na teacher na hihigpitan pa ang mga studyante at oobligahing magsuot ng shirt na may kwelyo at magsapatos para magmukhang "neat".

Pagdating naman sa mga high school students marami dyan ang mga sobrang fashionista na porket bago at magaganda ang suot ng kaklase eh pipilitin ang mga magulang na bumili ng bagong damit kahit na ang mga magulang eh gumagapang na sa katatrabaho at lubog na sa utang. Tapos kapag hindi napagbigyan, magmamaktol! Hay naku!

TEN WAYS TO MARRY THE WRONG PERSON

TEN WAYS TO MARRY THE WRONG PERSONBy Dov Heller

With the divorce rate over 50%, too many are apparently making a serious
mistake in deciding whom to spend the rest of their life with. To avoid
becoming a "statistic," try to internalize 10 insights.

1. You pick the wrong person because you expect him/her to change
after you're married. The classic mistake! NEVER MARRY POTENTIAL!! The
Golden Rule is, if you can't be happy with the person the way he or she
is now, don't get married. As a colleague of mine so wisely put it,
"You actually can expect people to change after their married...for the
worst!" So when it comes to the other person's spirituality, character,
personal hygiene, communication skills, and personal habits, make sure
you can live with these as they are now. It's as good as it gets!

2. You pick the wrong person because you focus more on chemistry
than their character. Chemistry ignites the fire, but good character
keeps it burning. Beware of the "I'm in love" syndrome. "I'm in love"
often means, "I'm in lust." Attraction is there, but have you carefully
checked out this person's character? Here are four characteristics to
definitely check for:
· Humility: Does this person believe that "doing the
right thing" is more important than personal comfort?
· Kindness: Does this person enjoy giving pleasure to
other people? How does s/he treat people s/he doesn't have to
be nice to? Does s/he do volunteer work? Give to charity?
· Responsibility: Can I depend on this person to do what
s/he says s/he's going to do?
· Happiness: Does this person like himself? Does s/he
enjoy life? s/he emotionally stable? Ask yourself: Do I want to
be more like this person? Do I want to have a child with this
person? Would I like my child to turn out like him or her?

3. You choose the wrong person because you do not share a common
life, goal and priorities. There are three basic ways we connect with
another person:
(1) Chemistry and compatibility,
(2) Share common interests and
(3)Share a life goal.
Make sure you share a deeper level of connection that sharing life goals
provide.
After marriage, the two of you will either grow together or grow apart.
To avoid growing apart, you must figure out what you're living for while
you are single-and then find someone who has come to the same conclusion
as you. This is the true definition of a soul mate. A soul mate is a goal
mate... two people who ultimately share the same understanding of life's
purpose and therefore share the same priorities, values and goals.

4. You pick the wrong person because you do not have deeper
emotional connection. To evaluate whether you have a deeper emotional
connection or not, ask: "Do I respect and admire this person?" This
does not mean, "Am I impressed by this person?" We are impressed by a
Mercedes. We do not respect someone because they own a Mercedes. Yes,
you should be impressed by qualities of creativity, loyalty,
determination, etc., but do you actually respect and admire this person
who possesses these qualities? Also ask: "Do I trust this person?" This
also means, "Is he/she emotionally stable? Do I feel I can rely on
him/her?

5. You pick the wrong person because you choose someone with whom
you don't feel emotionally safe. Ask yourself the following questions:
Do I feel calm, peaceful and relaxed with this person? Can I fully be
myself, and express myself with this person? Does this person make me
feel good about myself? Do you have a really close friend who makes you
feel this way? Make sure the person you marry makes you feel the same
way! (That's why best friends usually fall under this category
perfectly! But that's another story...) Are you afraid of this person
in any way? You should not feel you need to monitor what you say
because you are afraid of how the other person will view it. If you're
afraid to express your feelings and opinions openly, there's a problem
with the relationship. Another aspect of feeling safe is that you don't
feel the other person is trying to control you. Controlling behaviors
are a sign of an abusive person. Be on the lookout out for someone who
is always trying to change you. There is a big difference between
"controlling" and "making suggestions." A suggestion is made for your
benefit; a control statement is made for their benefit.

6. You pick the wrong person because you don't put everything on the
table. Anything that bothers you about the relationship must be brought
up for discussion. Bringing up the uncomfortable stuff is the only way
to evaluate how well the two of you communicate, negotiate, and work
together. Over the course of a lifetime, difficulties will inevitably
arise. You need to know now, before making a commitment: Can you
resolve your differences and find compromises that work for both of
you? Never be afraid to let the person know what bothers you. This is
also a way for you to test how vulnerable you can be with this person.
If you can't be vulnerable, you can't be intimate. The two go hand in
hand.

7. You pick the wrong person because you use the relationship to
escape from personal problems and unhappiness. If you are unhappy and
single, you'll probably be unhappy and married, too. Marriage does not
fix personal, psychological and emotional problems. If anything,
marriage will exacerbate them. If you are not happy with yourself and
your life, take responsibility to fix it now while you are single.
You'll feel better and your future spouse will thank you.

8. You choose the wrong person because you get involved sexually too
quickly. This can be a big problem because it often precludes a fully
honest exploration of important issues. Sexual involvement tends to
cloud one's mind. And a clouded mind is not inclined to make good
decisions. It is not necessary to "test drive" in order to find out if
a couple are sexually compatible. If you do your homework and make sure
you are intellectually and emotionally compatible, you don't have to
worry about sexual compatibility. Of all the studies on divorce, sexual
incompatibility is never cited as a main reason why people divorce.

9. You pick the wrong person because the man doesn't understand what
a woman needs most. Men and women have unique emotional needs (Men are
from Mars...Women are from Venus!) and more often than not, it is the
man who just doesn't get it. The unique need of a woman is to be loved,
to feel that she is the most important person in her husband's life.
The husband needs to give her consistent, quality attention. Sexual
intimacy is always on the woman's terms. Men are goal oriented
especially when it comes to this area. As a wise woman once pointed
out, "Men have two speeds: on and off." Women are experience oriented.
When a man is able to switch gears and become more experience-oriented,
he will discover what makes his wife very happy. When the man forgets
about his own needs and focuses on giving his wife pleasure, amazing
things will happen.

10. You pick the wrong person because he/she is involved in a
triangle. To be "triangulated" means a person is emotionally dependent
on someone or something else while trying to develop a relationship.
But of course, being "triangulated" with God is the best triangulation
you could have with your partner! A person who hasn't separated from
his or her parents is a classic example of triangulation. People can
also be triangulated with things as well, such as work, drugs,
Internet, hobbies, sports or money. Be careful that you and your
partner are free of triangles. The person caught in a triangle cannot
be fully emotionally available to you. You'll not be their number one
priority. And that's not basis for a marriage. Ability is what you're
capable of doing.

Unchanging Love

An excerpt from helpme.com...

Love is a very powerful word. It is that feeling inside that warms every heart. It is what brings people closer together. It is what everyone is searching for. If this love is true, it will live on. William Shakespeare makes this very clear in his Sonnet 116.2 The physical body will decay, but as long as love is loyal and persevering, it will live on forever. To better understand the theme of the poem, I am going to explain it bit by bit. The seamark in line five serves as a guide to passing ships; love serves as a guide to people who are lucky enough to be in it. “Love’s not time’s fool,” in line nine means that love is not fooled by time. Time will march on, things will change, but love stays the same. All of these principles tie into the theme that love is constant and unchanging.

Movies seem to portray this theme very well. In City of Angels, Nicholas Cage has to make a decision. He can choose to stay as a death angel, and live that way forever or he can choose to become mortal, but never be able to become a real angel after death. He makes the ultimate sacrifice for love. He chooses to become mortal so that he can be with Meg Ryan. Their love is so strong, that he is willing to do anything for her. That is what love is all about. In the movie Ghost, Patrick Swayze is killed in a mugging. His girlfriend, crushed, does not know how she will be able to live without him. But because he loved her so much, he finds a way to contact her. He does this through Whoopi Goldberg. He wants her to know that even though he is not with her, he still loves her very deeply. This is a perfect example of unchanging love. This illustrates how love, if persevering, can live forever. This universal theme seems to repeat itself through all of time. From Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers, to Tim and Jill on Home Improvement, it is proven that love lives on. It has been established throughout time that love, when strong, can conquer all.
