"Gifts"

Wendy went to HK last weekend and came back with a gift for me. I opened it and saw this cute little bear, Duffy. She told me Duffy is the newest character in the Disney, I can buy clothes for those bigger Duffy and change it whenever I want. (I know it’s cute and it is really! But I asked myself, Am I not too old for this?)

On the other hand, I’m thankful cause she me something. I’m always touched by the gestures whereat someone would remember to bring back something for you. Even the smallest tiny weenie thing I would appreciate (as long as it is not garbage!) And Wendy remembered I like bears! (well.. not those scary ones!!) Wouldn’t you want a colleague like her? ^_^

***********************************************

We were just talking about Grey's Anatomy where Kelly got into an accident, and it was where the cast all sang! W said when our boss asks me next time if I understand what she's saying, she advised me to sing it out like from Grey's. LOL.

So who said that people only gossip in the office? I always have a good time having conversation with E & W. and this conversation definitely made my day! Thanks PPJ =)

P.S Oh and sorry. I couldn't upload any photos coz my subject today is my boss!. 

hmp! hmp! hmp!! *bwichit* (gusto ko na mag mura!!!!)

Moving On

Time’s up. One more day and one of the co-creator of this blog will be bidding her farewell to her Kyubikel. “A”, it was indeed a pleasure sharing the same Kyubikel with you for the past year and a half.  It has been an interesting journey to say the least. First time I experienced working with a friend in the same Kyubikel. People say that it is difficult to work with friends. More so if you work under them but with “A” she never made me feel she was my superior. During my first six months, I tried to leave the Kyubikel and she encouraged me to stay. She is that kind of person. When things are not going well, she will be there to give you support and provide words of encouragement. I mentioned this because if I bade the Kyubikel farewell that time then I would not have met greenie missie. For this, I thank “A”.

“A” and I have been talking about her impending departure from our Kyubikel. What’s next? What to do? A lot of question marks to answer. As I told her before, “It’s your turn to be happy, do something that will make you happy.” On a lighter side, I envy “A”. She will be having her much deserved time off work. I want vacation too! On the other hand, there are a lot of uncertainties ahead. Though it seems like all the uncertainties ahead are challenges, for me, we should think that these uncertainties are actually opportunities. It gives us choices. It is up to us whether we make the most of them or not. We might make some wrong turns but eventually, I believe that everyone is bound to end up in the destination they are meant to reach. It’s just a matter of time whether we take more or less detours to reach our destination. I wish “A” will get to her destination with less detours and hope that she will have someone holding her hand when she reaches the finish lineJ. All the best to you, “A” and don’t be a stranger.

Now for my WTF! Through the past one and a half years in the Kyubikel with “A”, we have shared countless WTF! moments.  The one that stands out is …. (I’m sorry “A” but this really puts a smile in my face whenever I think about it.) “JAILWALKING”. This happened outside the Kyubikel but I still consider it part of our time together in the Kyubikel. There was this one night, we were going back to “A”’s place and we were crossing the street. I distinctly remember it was a red light. While we were waiting for the light to turn green one of our friends couldn’t wait and was about to cross. “A” suddenly blurted out “Don’t cross, else you might get caught JAILWALKING!” No one noticed. Suddenly, I thought to myself, shouldn’t it be Jaywalking? I corrected “A” and told her it should be Jaywalking. We argued for a bit and eventually I told her, yeah, JAILWALKING can also be used since you might get jailed after walking on a red light. It was a laugh trip. It was one unforgettable night. So guys, remember not to Jailwalk! :D - "X"

"Forwarded Emails"

You know those forwarding emails we get every day? I don’t like all of them, especially those chain letters. So you can say, the subject must be very interesting if ever received a forwarded email from me! =)

Anyways, I received one from my Mom today. And it made me smile, especially the cute photos. *Just Sharing*

1. Stay out of trouble

2. Aim for greater heights! (wooopeee!)

3. Stay focused

4. Exercise to maintain good health 

5. Practice team work

6. Rely on your trusted partner to watch your back. Take your time trusting others

7. Save for rainy days

8. Rest & Relax

9. Always take time to smile! =D

10. Realize that nothing is impossible! *you can do it!*

"Monday Blues"

You know those days when you just know deep inside that nothing will go right?

Well, that was yesterday.

Eva came in the office with her voice raised (again!), though this time she had a valid reason. She was going to meet a client and she needed the samples from our factory, it was said that it will be sent last weekend. But when they didn't send it out, The reason they told her was because they were busy doing Wendy's shipment that they didn't bother doing hers. MADNESS!!!! I really feel sorry for her.... like these are the samples that she would present to her client, and at the same time, her future orders will depend on these samples. What a way to start our Monday, huh? ;(

I've been in this company for almost six years now, so I probably can understand what she felt yesterday, the huge disappointment and lack of support not only from our factory but from our boss as well. Eva was just so quiet the whole morning, even when we had our meeting with the factory, all I heard from her was, "ok", "好", "嗯".. no more than that! If it's only us in the meeting room, we usually pass notes to each other and this was what Eva wrote on her memo, "爛透" = sucks!!!!! I know we do meet these shitty stuffs sometimes, and I don't want to think I have those monday-blues, but it's a crap why does it have to be Mondays. (Don't ask me why, I won't have a decent answer :p)

Anyways, Wendy baked banana cake last weekend and she brought it. I think that was the only time when I saw Eva started smiling. (I'm serious!!!!) She asked all of us if we want ice cream, because she wanted to eat the cake with it. I think only one nodded, but when she came back, she bought ice cream for all of us! *sweet*  All I can say it was pretty weird Monday yesterday. So quiet..... you try to be here next time and you'll get what I'm saying :p

Nothing (‘ ‘)

I have been staring blankly since I came in today. It’s unusually quiet in the Kyubikel. I can’t figure out what’s with me today. Everything seems to be moving so slow. What I mean is that it is like somebody pressed the slow motion button and whenever I turn my head around, it’s like I’m in the matrix. This entry will just be about nothing. Everything I write will not make any sense. I just want to write something and let time pass.

Earlier I was staring at my monitor; I suddenly lift my head up and WKA! Willie Revillame(Filipino Artist, if you consider him an artist) is in our office! I couldn’t stop smiling. I just realized that one of our colleague look like him. Now, you might be wondering what WKA stands for. WKA means WAKANGA! I just came across this yesterday when I was chatting with a friend (K). WKA is a Fukien expression (I think) used when surprised like “Holy Cow!”  I haven’t heard of this expression for quite some time. Usually this expression is used by older guys. Moving on to the nothingness lets drift away from the Kyubikel for a while. I was with a couple of friends last weekend. We were talking about the topic of short shorts for the ladies. I hope I won’t get any violent reactions from the ladies out there. This is just something from the nothingness in me. My lady friend (G) and I were discussing up to what age can a lady wear short shorts? I was telling her that like Barney Stinson from “How I met your mother”, there should be a rule on this one. I suddenly thought, when a lady reaches the age of 30, she must add one centimeter on the length of her short shorts each year. What do you guys think? Reasonable or nut? That’s the bad thing when being in the state of nothingness for too long. You just begin to sound insane.

WTF! What’s this thing about Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street being a gay couple? People really don’t have anything else better to do? Just leave them alone. Who cares if they’re gay or not as long as they continue to educate the kids? Leave Sesame Street alone! -"X"

Training

(Photos Later)

My Kyubikel is in training mode. Since last week, I have been attending internal trainings and have even conducted training. What do we do in the training? Well, it’s three excruciating hours of lecture about mechanical, electrical parts, and their so called sales technique. Take note that we have to sign an attendance sheet and it is a video recorded session. We have to be in our best behavior. Otherwise, when the big boss or as I shall call him from now on, “Potato Head” review the game tape, we won’t get shot by his “spudgun” or be greeted with a Happy Mother’s Day (an English translation of Potato Head’s favorite expression “媽的”)! Luckily, the video recorder only takes a certain angle so I always sit in a blind spot. The blind spot is my refuge in the training room. It lets me yawn to almost falling asleep; use my phone to check my mail and other “stuff”(You know what I mean). On the other hand, it is nice to attend the training. It saves me from having to wait for 3 hours before lunch break.  Well, going to have more training for the next few days. I just hope that I won’t fall asleep and at least get to absorb some of the things being discussed.

WTF! Is going on with the weather here? Rain and shine. Hot and Humid. People are getting sick already. I hope it will be winter soon! I’m getting sleepy now, so that’s all for now. I’ll just make up for today next time.
