Wah! I've been awake for 15 hours now. I woke up at around 6pm yesterday for work and I was out at work by 7am but my office buddies Gayle and Say decided to have breakfast. Of course when girls eat together, they talk for like hours after eating. I feel so bloated right now coz I have a full breakfast meal and a slice of chocolate cake (I just can't avoid chocolates).
I was late for the nth time at work last night coz of all that Christmas traffic so my team leader was so ready to give me a memo but thank God he didn't. Nothing much really happened at work just the usual calls of credit card applications and rush shipping on the products for Christmas.
But for next week, Tito Manny (our team leader), gave us the dreaded "hell week" (lifted from the UP tradition coz most of our bosses at work are from UP) and we have to do tasks to get to know the people at work better especially the team leaders. Good thing I have team leader Lawrence as a friend and schoolmate. Haha! But we have to be prepared for doing "stuff" just to get the signatures of the team leaders. I just hope they won't let me do "unwholesome" things. I really am not comfortable with the people on the floor except for my wavemates, my team leader and some schoolmates and other mentors. Like I don't feel welcome. Even my wavemates feel that. Maybe it's coz of the whole newbie vs. tenured employee issue. Whatever! I go there to work my butt off, that's just it. No strings attached.
Since my days off til the end of the year are Saturday and Sunday, I could still spend Christmas eve with my family but I'll spend Christmas night at work. Doesn't matter, I'll be getting double pay for that night. Same goes on New Year. Tito Manny wants us to file vacation leaves but I don't want to coz I don't have a reason. What would I do on that day? I'd rather work and get the dough.
Ok... Now I'm getting sleepy. My eyes are already drooping... I'd better go under the sheets now.
More updates... hopefully... I usually spend my weekends hibernating nowadays.

I'm back! I have so many, as in so many things to blog about. I don't know what to blog about first. Let me see...
My jobs:
As I've blogged before, I'm back to teaching Elisse and Carla. I teach them before I head to Ayala for work coz I'm in the graveyard shift. I'm now a vamp. Haha! I sleep in the morning and I hussle at night. I get big bucks for my jobs but I still do some random hustling for more money. It's not that I'm a material girl or something (I rarely hit the malls since I started my full time job), I just love working. Am I a workaholic? I mean, I'd rather go to work and get paid than just be a bum. But I treat myself at the salon to get my nails done and my hair treated with the best protein treatment ever or go to the spa for a calming massage.
I'm loving the financial account that I handle at Convergys. I guess I found my niche. Haha! As compared with the direct response calls I have to take for ProActiv, Bloomingdale's, Windsor Pilates, etc., I love taking credit card applications more and persuading callers to get their car loans refinanced by HSBC Auto Finance. Haha!
But my team leader told me, I just have to be aware of piracy. When he found out I used to be an ESL teacher, he told me I could be one of the communication coaches or trainers at Convergys but of course, CSG (the name of the account I handle) would lose an agent. It's so early to tell that. I don't even know what's my next career path coz I haven't thought of that. At the moment, I just love what I'm doing. No boys, just work, family and friends (and the salon and the spa).
My friends:
You bet I have new friends at work. But I still go out with my college friends most of the time. Camille had a birthday bash. We brought our "gays" to a sucky five-dollar bar but they never liked the girls. Haha! I had an issue with them coz they weren't texting me during the times I was depressed and just started my job. But everything's fine now. They're texting me whenever there are school events or when they just want us to be together. We watched Marky's dance competitions at La Salle where the UP Streetdance Club got the roving trophy and the Skechers Streetdance Battle at the Araneta where the UP Streetdance Club won (as always). Mae-ann, my high school friend who stayed in Italy just came home and I can't wait to hang out with her. What else? My myspace account has been so "sensational" lately, I've been getting messages from people I don't know. But hey, I'm trying to be friendly nowadays. But they're all boys. I don't know why. Maybe I should start dating again... No!
I honestly don't know what to do with my life. All I know is that I don't want to be involved with any guy anymore unless that guy is Pharell Williams or that random guy at school. Well, he doesn't have classes anymore at school that's why I don't think I should call him "that random guy at school" but he goes there for org matters. Damn! I miss him! I don't know why, but I'm trying so hard to avoid seeing him but circumstances make me see him. Like whenever I have to watch Marky's performances, I also have to see him and I should've never promised my cousin I'll have her songs mixed for her dance audition so I won't have to bravely approach that random guy and ask him to mix the songs for me coz my other cousin who usually mixes our songs doesn't wanna do it anymore coz I always get copies of the songs he mixes for his clients without his permission. But if I don't see him, I miss him. I hate feeling this way. I just wish I could see him as a normal person not as the guy who makes me lose my cool. Not fair, he doesn't go through everything I'm going through right now because of him.
