I just got home. I'm actually tired from the information overload that I received today. But it's okay, I can manage. :)
Well, things are good with work. Aside from the fact that we are bombarded with lots of information almost everyday, we get along well. It's just that there are still some people who are not cooperative enough to abide by the rules.
It's actually something that should not be called out over and over... Because when you work, you are supposed to focus on the task at hand, rather than to dwell on things that you should not be doing during those 8 hours that you are inside the confines of your office building. It's really easy to abide by the rules and regulations of the company especially if you are a learned person and if you value your job.
We're actually a pioneer batch. So let's just say that it's a 'Make or Break' scenario. It's tagged as such because there are just so many things that people or even clients are expecting of us. We're expected to act accordingly, excel in what we do, focus on the things that we need to accomplish and not do anything stupid. It's easy to digest rather than to say it out loud.
It's just that there's this one person in our group that is best considered as the 'Rotten Tomato'. Why you ask? Let's just say that the person is actually doing the opposite of what we are supposed to do. It's really frustrating in a way because if someone fucks up in the team then we might lose the freedom that the job provided us. We might also lose our jobs for just one simple hiccup like that.
It's automatic. Go to work, cover your ass, do your part well and you and the team will succeed. But if there's someone like this, the team might go akimbo or something. It's just that I HATE people who are very indifferent. To the point of even breaking so many fucking rules just to make their own point. Sure, you are a rebel but you also have to consider your team. You have to consider the many possible consequences of your actions. You just have to use your damn brain to do everything right.
Ugh! I'm just tired. Nah, I won't elaborate on this. Maybe some other day. I just want to sleep today. Haha!
Toodles!

Refresh...
It's been a while since I last updated this blog. I have been very busy with my work and with school, that is why I could not keep up with the blogging thing. but as soon as my schedule is all fixed, then I'll blog a little bit more. Haha!
Anyway, I have been training for almost a week now. I just hope that I'd be able to pass all the exams and stuff. I just want this to work. There.
Anyway, so many things left to do. I still have to research about my thesis so there... It's all crazy and I am just so frustrated with how things are in the academic department. I just want everything to work out perfectly. That's it.
Anyway, I have to go sleep now. Have a shift in a few hours. Haha!

Flashback...
I have been checking my previous blogs and I must say, I had a lot of time laughing my ass off from those previous posts. Haha! It was super funny. Not to mention that I was all too emotional from all the effing stuff I had to go through before. Haha! Oh golly. Haha!
I just turned 26 yesterday. It was a very good celebration. I celebrated with my family and with Ted. We just stayed in the house and it was sooo good. :) We finally had the net reconnected. It usually takes them 24-48 hours to reconnect the internet but yesterday only took a couple of hours. Hehe!
It was a very good birthday celebration. Though it was quite sad at some point because this is the very first time that I celebrated my birthday without my father. :'( Though I know he's also celebrating with us from heaven. I briefly smelled flowers last night, so must be an indication that he paid me a visit to wish me a happy birthday. :)
The video above is my birthday song. My nephews are super cute. :) I just love my nephews to bits. :)
I will be starting my work Monday at around 5 PM. I came back to Sykes so there. I also liked the account. I am again assigned as a TSR so there... I guess I should follow my sister's advice "Nasa I.T. ang pera" so even though I am used to being a CSR (and only became a TSR once in my career), I just have to check this out. So there. We're also not going to work in one of their sites. Heard that we will be deployed at the clients' site so it's another new thing for me. I'm also excited as hell. I hope for everything to sail smoothly.
It's also our 5th anniversary on the 1st of October. I hope I'd be able to give him something (like a token or something) and I hope that we can celebrate this anniversary of ours. Waaaahhh!!!

Mood: Happy
Listening to: Find You (Zedd ft. Matthew Koma and Miriam Bryant)
I am so happy and I feel accomplished. Haha! Finally, my mom taught us how to make her famous Rellenong Bangus (stuffed milk fish) and it was good! :) I like it very much. :)
I cannot wait to be with my hubby. I want to fast forward everything... I miss him to bits already. I really want to feel his hugs. It's super comforting. I want to be with him and never get separated from him... Literally and emotionally. Haha! Lovestruck puppy! :P
I cannot think of anything right now. I am currently thinking about him. Haha!

Of Designer Brands and Group Buying Sites....
Okay, I just got to post this because I heard something a while ago...
So my boyfriend's cousin told us earlier that a couple filed a case against a popular group buying site for selling fake designer items and calling these so-called items "authentic". Basically, from what I heard:
- A couple bought a luxury bag from the said group buying website for I think Php 6 thousand pesos or so (not sure of the exact amount...)
- They received the item just fine, but were a little bit iffy about the bag's origins
- They went to the store where the original bags are sold and asked if the product they received from the group buying site is really authentic
- Store inspected the bag and declared the bag as fake
So now what the couple did was they went straight to DTI (Department of Trade and Industry) to file for a complaint against the group buying website because they were selling fake items and declaring them as authentic or original. This is the first time that I am going to write something regarding this so if ever you are planning to get yourself a luxury brand or something from a group buying website, you must read these things first:
1. Just because the ad says it's original, does not mean that it is indeed original
- Surely, would you buy something that says "imitation only" or "fake" or "replica" on the deal itself? Let me tell you this: This is a tactic that all group buying sites use. You can not single out any group buying site that does not do this type of thing. It's a tactic to draw people's attention to the merchandise.
2. They only get the images of the merchandise from the internet. It's not always the real bags
- Obviously, this is for creative purposes. They get an image from the internet and paste it on the deal... BAM!!! They get people to believe that's it's actually the same thing. Hell, NO! It is not. Sometimes, you still get the "Made In China" tag inside the bag.
3. You get what you pay for.
- Seriously speaking, if you want to get a designer bag or any luxury item, you have to think... Why are they selling the items for more than half the price? Well, if you have the common sense, then you'll get the answer immediately... Because they are not really the original item you thought it was meant to be! Sure, sometimes the items that they sell also came from the same factory... But do not expect for it not to have flaws because the items that they sell are mostly rejects or overruns. You do not have the right to look for any authenticity cards, tags, protectors, and whatever marks of authenticity. If you want something that's really original and not fake, better head to the store itself. You're sure to get your very own authentic item there.
4. Don't even think of having the item authenticated at the store
- It's really ridiculous if you head to the store and ask the sales personnel to check if the bag is authentic. Because chances are, you will walk out of the store feeling embarrassed and at the same time enraged because they're probably going to tell you that it's indeed fake. So don't even bother. You know deep down that the item is fake. Stop with the false hopes...
Some tips when browsing through your favorite group buying sites:
1. Research before you click that "Buy" button
- Check the deal's Fine Print and details carefully. If it is for a food or service, check the participating branches. You might think that the branch nearest your vicinity is actually part of the deal when in fact it is not. Check the seller of the company of the deal first. If you have extra time, search Google and check reviews on the establishment. It pays to be a smart shopper. Sometimes, there are deals that require a minimum amount of vouchers before the establishment honors the deal. So make sure that you have the ample amount of vouchers (if necessary) to claim the deal that you purchased.
2. Check the Validity Date of the deal
- Sometimes, people get sooo excited to click the "Buy" button even if they do not read the deal's totality first. Another tactic of some group buying sites: They provide the validity dates on the very end part of the deal's creative article. You have to make sure that the deal is still valid come claiming time. Or else, you will just spend something for nothing at all. Total waste of money.
3. If you need to schedule or reserve for the claim date, do it at an earlier time
- This is the number one issue for people with vouchers... They usually procrastinate. "Wala pa yan, hindi pa end yung deal, pwede pa yan"... Is the usual thinking of these people with vouchers. What they usually do is that they will cram on the last week or last day of claiming. Sometimes sellers or establishments are unable to honor the procrastinators due to seating capacity, limited something, etc. So you need to reserve a slot at an earlier time or you might waste that voucher of yours for not enjoying anything at all.
4. You need to follow the rules.
- You are governed by the deal's Terms and Conditions. By clicking the "Buy" button, you agree to the deal's detail/s and you are expected to follow them. Need I say more?
Okay, they are not that horrible, come to think of it. But I would usually check the deals first before clicking the "Buy" button. As a general rule, you can never count on the items that they post as original or authentic. However, you can actually enjoy the services that they post like spa, manicure, etc and also the food deals (most of the time popular establishments have them) than the bags and accessories.
Oh well, I guess I will have to post some more should I come across something that's helpful.
Toodles!

I totally hate my phone right now...
A couple of days ago, I was having issues with my phone's Skype app. I tried logging out of Skype and log back in. Well, my phone did not do what it was supposed to do (log me back in). I was tempted to uninstall the app and reinstall using my phone's Windows Phone Store. No Skype app found. I tried and tried and tried and tried and finally, I searched for an article regarding my app's current condition.
So basically, what happened is that Windows retired the Skype app from Windows 7 users (I got my phone updated to Windows 7.8) and it will no longer be available to anyone with a Windows 7 OS. It worked perfectly fine without the updates, I can do seamless video calls and chats with it, no problems. But with the BS article that Windows released regarding the issue, I can say that this is totally an unnecessary thing to do. My phone is a Windows Phone. Even if it was already phased out, iOS and Android still has it... Not yet retired from those Operating Systems... I am a fan of Windows and I am very happy with my phone. But when Microsoft bought Nokia, I guess that's when things went downhill...
I am actually thinking of moving to iOS or maybe going back to Android. Maybe then I will be able to utilize the apps for free and I will not have the displeasure of having an app retired from my phone because it's more accessible. To be honest, I am quite impressed with my phone. It's fluid, user friendly and super easy to use. I like my phone very much (BTW, my phone is a Nokia Lumia 900 - Windows Phone 7.8) and very much willing to buy another Lumia phone. But the way Microsoft is playing the field is really irritating. I know that iOS and Android are two very stiff competitors for Windows OS but Microsoft should have known better. I know that they're better than this and I am still hoping that they reinstate Skype on Windows 7 users like me. I will be more than willing to upgrade to a new Windows Phone device should this miracle happen.
But for now... I am super pissed off!!!
