Just About Nothing

Hmm I am feeling refreshed. I had a great weekend bumming around and doing absolutely nothing hahaha! Well, when you work your a** off the entire week, wouldn't you feel the same way?

The husband and I just wacthing friends, eating a lot of chips (goodbye diet! lol!) and drinking a lot of soda. Tsk! There goes our health. I know it's bad but sometimes I just want to throw my cares into the wind and never think about anything at all.

I am actually contemplating if I would go to work today. My tasks are going to really pile up and I wanted to get a head start. But if you think about it, even getting a headstart wouldn't help because tasks will pile up again.

Blah I am talking nonsense here. Better get a grip of myself.

Babbling and Babbling Along

The dollar exchange went up a notch and this is really good news for me. Good news for my online earnings doing blogging. ;)

So how is everyone today? I've been quite hectic but I am loving my new schedule. It gives me enough time to blog when I get home in the morning while getting enough sleep after. Too bad my schedule next week is different because of the launch of our new account. Oh well, it's only for next week anyway. And besides, like Spiderman says: "With great power, comes great responsibility." And while I don't have great power, I believe that quote is true in our careers. When you get promoted, be ready for more responsibilities. ;)

Speaking of work, it's been really crazy juggling 2 accounts but the wierd thing is, I am enjoying it. Enjoying the challenge, loving my work more and the new tasks does not bother me a bit. Aaack! Am I a workaholic now??!?

On the home front, I am grateful that God asnwered my prayer of helping me find balance between work and home life. I am having the time of my life with the husband. Well, we do not see each other often within the week save for a couple of hours when he arrives home and me getting ready for work, but that is still something, right? I mean, I'd rather have that than nothing at all. We talk more, share more, love more.

Things aren't perfect though, we still fight, we still get on each others nerves but lilke Aggie says, everything is a choice. Being happy is a choice. Loving someone is a choice. And I committed myself to choose to be happy; choose to love; choose to share and be selfless. It is no easy task but it gives my life meaning and direction.

Hmm...what else? Oh, Saturday is Lala and Ronnie's wedding. Lala is Lala Roque of Channel 7. She and Ronnie are part of our Spiritual family (which I miss badly by the way.) She and Ron have been together for 12 years (?) Basta super long long time na hehehe! Lala, Ron, I do not know if you guys are reading this, but I am really really sorry I wouldn't be able to make it to the wedding. (The husband already did the RSVP thingy for him though ;) ) The husband will be there. I hope his size will be enough to represent us both hehe. But seriously, all the best to you both. I speak blessings into your lives, as individuals and as a married couple. I pray for abundance and prosperity, happiness, understanding, love and as Jackie would like to say, lots and lots of "tingaling!" *wink* LOL!

So enough of my babbling! Have a good one y'all!

Finally, Updates =)

Finally able to update! I am really sorry for being MIA. I'd like to thank all of my guests and visitors who dropped by. I really really appreciate it.

So what happened? Well, every 3 months or so, our agents get to do a shift bid where based on their performance for the past 3 months, they get to bid on the schedule they want. It's a gruesome process for our department as we need to generate schedules that would meet client requirements. We need to make sure that the schedules we give the agents to choose from would align with the requirements or else we fail big time. After the agents pick their schedules, we need to plot them in the software we use and make sure that everything is balanced - meeting client requirements and giving humane break schedules to the agents. Then we need to give transition rest days and the whole crapola. It's actually easier said than done as I handle close to 500 agents.

That said, I got sick the past 2 days - hehehe!

Enough about work, what are the recent updates?

1. I was finally able to buy that 30Gb iPod Video and Nokia 5300 and I am enjoying them immensely. My iPod keeps my stress level to normal and the phone brought me back to communicating with the world. :)

2. The Ilocos trip was cancelled indefinitely - boo! :(

3. And just tonight the husband and me watched The Transformers. I know, I know, pretty late, but we didn't want to watch it the first weekend it was released as the lines were pretty long and the cinemas crowded. No offense meant, we just didn't want to :) But the movie was AWESOME! Definitely worth buying a DVD copy (the original DVD :) )

4. The husband is now joining my weekend walks, yey! Both of us are now trying to lose some weight so wish us luck! :)

That's so far of the updates I can think of right now. Now that I have time to update, I promise to back soon :) Hope all of you are well! Happy weekend!

Sleeping Beauty

It's 12 midnight and I'm awake. I slept the whole day and I'm feeling refreshed. Nothing beats the weekend.

Hubby and I had a really wonderful talk a while ago when I woke up. I was able to tell him about my frustrations and all. I miss talking with him like that, deep and heartfelt. That's one of the downsides of working in a contact center, working nights and missing out on stuff like these. Sigh.

We're planning on going on a movie date later. Hmm I'm really thinking about what to watch. Do you know any good movie?

Hectic Week = Stress+ Realizations

Hello! How's everyone doing? I hope all of you are in great shape.

I've been such a bad blogger this week. Tsk tsk! I really am sorry for not posting any updates. It's been really overwhelming at work this week and I don't think things are going to settle soon. Heaven help me. lol!

I'm tired and stressed but I really love what I'm doing. I guess I am just overwhelmed with the many tasks pouring in it feels like I want to just put camp in the office - sleep there so I could finish the mountain of tasks.

Allow me to be sentimental for a moment. You know, there are times I'd ask myself if I still want this job or just give up and leave. But then, I walk the streets and see things that make me realize I am blessed to have a job that pays the bills and buys us the food we need - with some luxuries on the side.

I see the kids selling "flower leis" (sampaguita) on the streets just so they could have food to buy. I see people sleeping on different parts of the sidewalk with only boxes as mats. And it is at these moments that I feel ashamed for even whining about how hard my job is and how tired I am.

I am truly humbled and I thank God for opening my eyes and letting me realize how blessed I am. I may not have the luxuries of the rich and famous - but I have food to eat everyday, a job that pays the bills, a home with a comfy bed to sleep in. In short, I have enough of what I need.

I have to go sleep now but I promise to update soon.

Nits, Amore and Mich, sorry I haven't gotten around to doing the meme's you've tagged me with but I promise to do it during the weekend. :)
