The Time Keeper Experience

I'm so proud of myself...last week, I saw a book in my teammate JCs cubicle. It's a hard bound book and the title is quite interesting... The Time Keeper. I recognized the author as I've read his first two books "Five People You Meet In Heaven" and "Tuesdays with Morrie" and I've known him to be an inspirational writer. He said he borrowed it from our other teammate Nonia. I got excited to see what the book is all about so while he is on a call, I asked him if I can borrow just while were in the office and he offered to let me borrow it first. According to him, he wont have time to read it anyway since our rest day is still four days to go. So I grabbed the chance and tried my best to read it as quickly as I could, knowing I need to send it back before our rest day and lo and behold...I finished it in two days! It's like a 250 page book and I was able to finish it for like a total of 4 hours as it's not a continuous reading. I read it in the bus and in the jeepney while I'm commuting and in the second day, I proudly send the book back. It feels good knowing that when I put my full attention and I have willingness to finish a specific task...I could do it. I have a number of books at home which I never finished so this is really a new experience for me. Reading a book could really bring you to places and it matches the not so adventurous person like me. Thanks JC and Nonia for giving me this nice experience!


Here's what I've learned from the book of Mr. Albom.

... That you cannot stop nor speed up time...all you can do is savor each moment knowing you wont walk in the same path ever again and that the reason why God didn't give us unlimited time is for us to realize what its worth...

made me cry...

Not So Good Day for Me

SEPT. 29,2008 MONDAY I don't really feel well today. Actually, I came home before 4:00 am and luckily I was able to see one of my teammates and had the chance to seat next to them. I had 2 sup calls on the first 3 hours of my day, my head is aching throughout my shift, we ate at Mcdo spending a hundred bucks for a meal I should've not ordered...imagine, they charge P10 for a small chicken gravy! I thought I already passed my scorecard only to find out that another "Very Dissatisfied" survey came which is really not intended for me. I had a coaching session with my very considerate TL and I he said he would have it exempted for ADP. ADP is like a performance evaluation...if your are on ADP - you need to pass the next three consecutive scorecards to still continue to work for Convergys - and a lot of people, including my friends, was'nt able to pass it which means... they need to find a place to work elsewhere. I don't want to leave CVG now...not in the next

August 25 Saturday Afternoon 5:22 PM I was about to get ready to go to work as my shift tonight will start at 8:15 PM however I feel I need to blog about what happen to my day in a daily manner to make it a habit. So here I am documenting important things that happened earlier. I and Icey was invited  by Mark Yu, our batch mate (actually I forced him to invite us) for a quick breakfast at Borough Podium. I've never heard of the place but Ice told me its cozy. So after our shift,we went directly to the place and yes it is, the place is indeed cold, cozy and class. Mark is already waiting for us inside. The reason why he will treat us for breakfast is because he was promoted as a Quality Specialist. Well, I was shocked to know at first that I was not even asked to be interviewed for the same position. As far as I can remember, I passed my application last February and haven't heard of any openings yet. However, I've learned that the position are already being offered to

Sept. 12 Friday Finally, it's my OFF! Yahoo! After my shift, I've waited for my dear sister Mamu coz' I want my hubby to meet him. I've told Jojo everything about this gay este guy, how he crack jokes, how he lives his life, and how hard he tries to hide his true personality. Actually, Jojo really feels that he is not gay. Well, if you could only see him...he looks like a matinee idol with mustache and beard like a real tough guy. But what lies beneath those mustache shows the answer and unless you have a "radar" for third sex, you would never think that he is in fact a she. Anyways, off we went to MiniStop where my hubby is waiting and because me and mamu is so kikay, we planned a scheme. He would put his hands around my shoulder and I would put my hands on his hip as we approach Jojo and pretend we were shocked to see him. I want to know what his reaction would be. While walking, I thought of fooling mamu and told him that the guy next to the pole is Jo
