Winning a Million

it was raining really hard... i cant go out...
there was brown out... and there was super high flood outside... it reached the second level of the building where i am residing... (good thing we are on the third level)
there was typhoon Ondoy, raging on metrol manila!...

neweiz, i dont have anything else to do... after the typhoon i still cant go out since the flood was very high plus it was all muddy...
my roommate is already asleep.. we dont have anything else to do... all we were doing was sleep, check the flood, wait for rescuers that might give us some food (we were never lucky to receive food from them) then sleep, check the flood and so on....

i cant sleep, ive been sleeping the whole time... suddenly i remember about my sister's friend who won a million pesos from SM, by using his advantage card... that guy was not even aware that he was qualified for the raffle.. he was totally surprised when he won the raffle...
it made me think, what if id win a million too?... if that would happen, probably half of it will go to the bank for a time deposit, a portion of the other half will go to my mom and dad (probably pay all their debts), a portion will be for a business (computer shop), then, probably i would have a hundred thousand pesos for shopping for my place and id pay the rent for the half of the year, id shop for a new TV, refrigerator and a DVD player, id shop for my apt... how cool is that?

neweiz, after that thought or shall i say hopes and dreams, i become excited of my life.. i become excited of getting my own SMAC... hahahaha... i may not be really lucky for things like that, but at least im excited about it...

moral of this post?

you will be bored of your life if your not aiming for something.. if you dont have dreams and hope for the future... i felt excited after dreaming about it... feels like, there is still hope... someday, id win a million too.. ;)

im excited about updating my resume because i am hoping for a higher position...

Hand washing

fulfilled

i helped an old woman today...

i was walking on the way to the bank this afternoon when i noticed somebody is calling at my back until she finaly tapped me with her umbrella..
i turned back and saw a small old lady teary eyed...
she asked for apology and asked me where is the way to Jenny's... she was pissed off with the driver... she said the first jeepney driver let her get off somewhere near the bridge and asked her to ride another jeepney... the next jeepney, let her get off somewhere near our place i guess and just gave her back her fare...
i can see her wet eyes.. she told me she dont have enough money anymore... i gave her all the money i have in my pocket... she accepted it, thanked me and asked apology for the inconvenience... i accompanied her in crossing the road until she was able to find a jeepney..

i felt fulfilled although i realized later that i still have money in my pocket and i should have given it to her...

i feel proud of myself... at least i realized i am not totally bad after all.. lol

pontytail

recently, people have been asking me if i have a ponytail..
waaaaaaahhhhhhhh... are you insulting me?.. i am a human.. not a pony.. lol.. and we are not even in a magical world... hahahaha
and oh, cant you see?.. im wearing my hair down.. its not in ponytail... ok?... lol
anyway, they were actually just trying to borrow a hair scrunchy...

guys, you should know the difference between a ponytail and a hair scrunchy...

Ponytail is the hairstyle while scrunchy is the band to tie your hair... ;)

< this is the hair scrunchy



 
< this is the ponytail... its the hairstyle.. ;) 




 
oh come on... thanks to me you learn something new.. lol... peace... ;)

relord

i was telling my customer on how to reload her card when i got tongue-tied and said

me: You can reLord...

my supervisor who was seated beside and my colleagues who heard me were all laughing... i laughed too that made my customer to asked me why i was laughing..

i dont know if she even noticed my mistake... lol

the line is choppy

my friend can barely hear his customer because the line was choppy..
he kept telling his customer to repeat what he said since the line was choppy until he said.

"Im sorry Mr. CX but the choppy is..."

we laughed and he then realized his mistake... put it on mute and laughed with us.. hahaha


==========

another friend of mine was telling the customer that the line is choppy... she pronounced it as chappy... my other friend who was seated beside her, corrected her pronounciation right then and there... whew.. that was just so mean... he said, " choppy kasi pag chappy, chupa=chups yun... " hahaha

Mr. Customer

this happened in my past company..

a friend of mine while talking with his customer suddenly said...

"thank you for patiently wating MR. CUSTOMER"


hahahah.. we were really laughing when we heard him said that..
instead of adressing the customer his last name, he addressed him as Mr. Customer..
and he had a loud voice... i guess his phone/headset volume was on max that's why he didnt noticed his loud voice... lol
hahaha.. i guess he was panicking and was too focus with the spiel.. toinkz...
and oh we were in our A-Bay/Nesting period that time...

halloween pictures

Scene 1: While walking inside Robinsons Galleria towards the dept store we passed by the Halloween display of Toys are Us with the sales person in his Halloween costume.

Me: Ate, I want a picture with Mr. Halloween Guy.
Sis: Ok ok, go. Oh no, you’re a Christian and you support Halloween.
Me: (laughing) yeah right, it’s a pagan celebration… but why did you take a picture of me inside that giant pumpkin in SM Makati yesterday?
Sis: Coz, it’s a fruit. (laughing)
Me: Yeah, and its not Halloween Guy right?... (laughing)

Scene 2: Inside Bestseller National Bookstore in Robinsons Galleria while waiting for my sister’s friend, the two of us were taking pictures of each other. I posed with the books then picked up WITCH.

Sis: Ahh, because I didn’t allow you to have a picture with the Halloween guy, you’d rather have a picture with WITCH..

(Both laughed)

borrowed words?

article = artikěl

uncle = ankěl

sparkle = sparkěl

google = googěl

single = singěl

these are just some english words that are commonly mispronounced by Tagalog speaking Pinoys...

two months ago, while hanging with a friend in Robinsons Galeria, my friend suddenly gave a comment about how the tagalog speaking pinoys pronounced these words and how he disagreed with it. it is just so wrong as what he said but he can do nothing but just follow it or he will sound funny...

actually i have noticed this a long long time ago... i believe most Visayans noticed how Tagalogs pronounced these words... we would actually laugh at it.. sorry, no offense meant here, ok?...
it just that during my PS days, i heard somebody talked in straight english but pronounced the word google as googěl... it actually rang into my ears... it gave a big question mark in my face... made me think what is so wrong with this guy?... hahahaha.. its just that its a little acceptable if he was talking in tagalog... oh come on, we're expected to pronounce it correctly coz we work in an industry where English is the only means of communication and also we are college graduates.. duh!... :D

neweiz, i noticed another thing why Visayans speak english well...

its because when Visayans utter english terms they think of it as an english word while Talagalogs, when they utter an english term (speacially those i mentioned above) they still think of it as another tagalog term.. borrowed words, i guess... lol


neweiz, here is another example to this....



i just think that it sound awkward... its I'm Sing-guhl not Im Sing-gěl.... duh!... lol

few things i hate in mIRC

I usually park in mIRC every time I feel bored with the net… when I have nothing else to check in my friendster and myspace… well, I just park in mIRC and wait if somebody will throw me a Hi!… hahaaha

Neweiz, I noticed a chatting pattern in mIRC..

Its like, first is the hi-hello thingy, then knowing the ASL.. then, asking if your still studying, knowing the course and what’s next?… “Do you have friendster?… or Got friendster?.. duh, this lines sometimes irritates me… I don’t know.. but we haven’t even talked a lot… then they already ask for friendster… we even havn’t got any topic… duh… and after getting each others friendster, nothing will come next…

And what irritates me more than this is some IRC people pm you and just ask for friendster… hello, im not collecting friends on my friendster list… I only add people I know… although I also add people I know from the net or mIRC, at least I know a few background of them.. hahaha…

Neweiz, I don’t really give my friendster account to people who are just collecting friends…

And to be honest… people who don’t know URL sometimes irritates me… there is one time that I was chatting in mIRC and this guy was asking my friendster so I gave him my URL… and he told me im a liar coz it wasn’t my friendster.. hahahah.. he copied my friendster URL and paste in the search box… hahahah… that was supposed to be ok, telling him to just click the URL isn’t hard but he was being mean… waaaaahhhhhh

Another thing that I hate in mIRC is the people who ask me if im still a virgin… HELLO!… of course I am.. im a Christian… I value virginity… and I believe that sex is gift from God for married couple… I don’t really tolerate those people… I hate it when, you already got a topic and suddenly the guy on the other end asks about sex… I don’t think it is polite… if it we were only talking face to face, I could have slapped those guys… and what irritates me more than that, are the people who pm you and ask for sex… HELLO again!… im in a community chatroom... we are not in cybersex chatroom/channel… neweiz, usually tell them that they got the wrong girl and then, ignore them…

And oh, I hate it when they ask me for topic… I don’t know.. why don’t they just let it flow… talk about anything… why I really hate it?.. its because usually when they ask you for topic, they meant the topic to be sex… I don’t really think it’s polite to ask about that… ask if you have tried it and if your still a virgin… (close ta? waaaahhh) we don’t even know each other… and you are asking me those things… I’ could have slapped you if we were talking face to face… I need respect.. ok?… again, Im a virgin.. Im a Christian and I value virginity… Sex is a God given gift for married couple only..

Actually im in mIRC right now… and yes, there goes the pattern again.. waaaaahhhh
