Mysticx Year End Party

December 18, 2009

My December schedule has really been hectic and I am thankful. At least at this time of the year, I am one of those social butterflies who flits in and out of social scenes. Eversince December started, I’d be lucky enough to get 4-5 hours a sleep per day. On top of the 9 hour shift we have in the office, we usually rendered an addtional 1.5 hours o.t. It’s really tiring and  I know my agents are already too tired but hey duty calls. We’re just happy though that ot means there are still high demand for our products and it also means job security. Aside from my day job, I am also doing part time work online rewriting articles. I love what I’m doing and getting to earn extra money is really rewarding. It’s hard sometimes when I’m not quite familiar with the subject on hand but I’m thankful to Google for providing me with the information that I need.

 The office had our Christmas party last 14th at the Atrium. It was a so-so affair. The only thing that made it fun was the good times spent with colleagues. The food catered by Gloria Maris sucked and I developed extreme allergies because of the calamares I ate. Only the leachon was pleasing to the palate. The performances were not that great either though I really had fun with the opening number done by the dancers, managers and team captains. For me, the highlight of the program was when our big bosses had their rap number. I still could not believe how impressed I was with one of our American bosses who really took the time to memorize the rap in Tagalog. Goodness! That was one hell of a number.

What disappointed many people who attended the affair was the raffle prizes.  It was so extravagant in the first 4 Christmas that most people expected a lot. There were no foreign trips this year and none of my agents won a minor prize. Oh well, how can they when most of them were late for the registration?

 Bamboo delivered though but it would have been more fun if they tried to work out the crowd with a few meaningful talks.

 Majority of the people can’t wait for the survey. Over-all our party rates a 5 in the scale of 1-10.

 

These are the pictures taken during the party:

 

     

 

  

 

  

 

   

let’s party, party, party!

December 12, 2009

Being single again after a long time means that I get to join all the parties and gimmicks I’ve been invited to without feeling guilty that I have neglected someone. All the events and parties I have atteded the past weeks have been more than what I have attended in the last 2 years. Which is a good thing though coz it kept me too busy to think about my problems. I’ve been really busy lately with  my kids, my work, my online offer and just chillng out with friends.

 

We had our Christmas party last night at Zen’s place. This is also her despedida party since she will be joing her hubby in San Francisco. JCI Bai Lawanen’s Xmas Party  wasy such a blast. Everybody really had a great night.

     

The next morning, my agents and I went to Thai Me Up for lunch. It was quite funny. We arrived around 10AM and they open at 11AM. Good thing, they allow us to wait inside the cabana while they were still cleaning up the resto. The hour long wait for the food was worth every penny of it.

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

BFB with Alabama Crimson Tide

December 10, 2009

My agents and I pleaded not to render overtime yesterday since we have already decided to go somewhere after the shift to eat and relax. We left the office around 10 and went straight to Big Flat Bread in Ketkai. We ordered their penne pasta as our appetizer then we had their chicken. The “highlight” of that food trip was a monstrous 30 inch pizza that even wuth the 7 of us, we were not able to consume all of it. The food was okay. Nothing spectacular but it is way cheaper than Shakeys and Yellow Cab. Amy was able to take some pix using her trusty cellphone.

   

More Party

December 8, 2009

 Last Saturday was finally Oro Jaycees International Bai Lawanen’s Induction night. I almost failed to miss the ceremony. I woke up at 8:30 PM already and the Induction was supposed to start at 7PM. Good thing though that when I texted Merbee, she mentioned that they just started with the program. Good thing I was able to get dressed and did my make up in less than 30 minutes. The program was halfway through when I arrived in Gloria Maris. I did not miss the good parts though. We then proceeded to Pjoes for the fellowship night. It was lots of fun, fun, fun and I’m hoping to have a lot of new wonderful frineds with them.

 

 

 

 

    

So Sad but so true

December 7, 2009

I was browsing through Facebook earlier and found this in my friend and colleague June rey’s profile. I just decided to repost it here. This really made me sadder when I realized that whoever wrote this has gotten it so right. Sigh…..

I ’ve finally realized the people that you love who don’t love you back are just another lesson in life… It’s like God is teaching us that there can be so much better than what we thought was the best.

Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance and realize that you still love that person.

How do you leave the past behind, when it keeps finding ways to get to your heart?

Our lives are shaped by people who love us and people who refuse to love us.

I know I’ve made a lot of stupid mistakes in my life, but the worst one was thinking that the person who hurt me the most wouldn’t hurt me again.

It’s easy to let go when holding on hurts so bad.

It’s sad to think you’ll never be mine, it’s even sadder to realize I knew it all the time.

Only the one that hurts you, can make you feel better. Only the one who inflicts the pain, can take it away.

Want my advice? Stay mad as long as you can ’cause once you stop, it hurts like hell.

The only thing standing between me and total happiness is reality.

That’s the most frightening aspect of loneliness…You think you’re being damaged while loneliness is happening to you, and the worry amplifies the pain.

I love sleep…my life has a tendency to fall apart when I’m awake.

My biggest fear is that I will become too comfortable with the idea of being lonely for the rest of my life.

Things are never what they seem, I’m stuck inside of someone else’s dream. Problems never go away … I’m sick of being caught in yesterday.

They say what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. Well maybe some of us are just too sick and tired of being so damn strong.

In a world of pollution, profanity, adolescence, zits, broccoli, racism, ozone depletion, sexism, stupid guys and PMS, why the hell do people still tell me to have a nice day?

Sometimes I don’t know where the bullshit ends and the truth begins.

I pretend to be happy so I don’t have to explain myself to people who’ll never understand.

Some people are just not meant to be in your life no matter how much you want them to be.

Sometimes when one person is missing, the whole world seems empty.

Sometimes I wonder why words can mean nothing and silence can mean everything.

It’s just not the same when you wake up in the morning with a smile on your face when you know you lied yourself to sleep to make it better.

The loneliest place I’ve ever been wasn’t when i was alone.. It was in my room when i was in love with someone who wasn’t in love with me.

One of the hardest things in life is letting go of what you thought was real.

I’ve been broken before. I know what it feels like to see something funny and not be able to laugh.

There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy.

The saddest part isn’t that with each passing day I feel like I need you more, but it’s the fact that you don’t need me at all.

There is no sadder feeling in this world than to feel forgotten.

What do you live for.. When all you were living for is gone?

You may not realize it, but on the inside I’m crying. I may smile and laugh, but that’s my only way of hiding.

I’m trying really hard not to cry because every tear reminds me that I can’t let go.

Sometimes it hurts more to smile in front of everyone than to cry all alone.

And you know what the hardest part is? That now, when I cry, I don’t even try to stop my tears because I know they’re going to fall no matter what.

Even the softest words can’t heal the deepest wounds.

Silence is worse when you know it won’t be broken.

I hate listening to all these sad love songs because every single one of them reminds me of how much you hurt me.

Pretending that feelings aren’t there, doesn’t make them go away.

You can tell your heart to move on… it just sometimes won’t listen.

Being heartbroken is an agony. A complete, excruciating agony.
It’s like your heart is being ripped out of your chest and stomped on.
You can’t breathe, you don’t want to eat, you can’t function. It’s the
most intense pain you’ll ever feel, and the worst part is there’s no way
to relieve it. It’s unyielding, merciless torture. And you know it’s yours for life.

Why is it that no matter how much pain it endures by holding on… the heart refuses to let go?

Forgetting doesn’t make it all better; it just makes it hurt again when i remember.
