Goodbye DKS....

It has been 2 years since I set foot in this company.... Deutsche Knowledge Service....

I admit I really wanted to be part of this organization when I was still in Splash. I have heard good things about the company, about work, schedule, pay and bonuses. And a friend of mine confirmed that what i was hearing about the company are all true... Like the bonuses... she was hired in Sept 2008 with twice as much as her salary in her previous work and she got a month bonus in Feb 2009. Gosh! a month bonus?!? I want that! I never experienced that! So I was really eager to apply for any post... And I didn't get a hard time applying for one. It was a 3-day hiring process. 1st day - phone interview, 2nd day interview with HR and 3rd was with my team lead Nic and feeling team lead Jezer hehehehe just kidding!

After that I got a call from HR that I passed the interview and I need to drop by their office for the JO (Job offer). Though I was a bit disaapointed when I saw the offer (it was not what I expected...) I still accepted and just looked forward to the bonuses hehehehe.

The work was really different, it was a total shift actually. I was shocked initially but I have learned to love my process. The people also are quite different, it seems that they have their own world and I cannot penetrate! I felt so alone but I have also learned to accept that this is the BPO world... fast changing! people come and go!

But DKS gave me opportunites and memories i will never forget, i was able to have our house constructed because of the pay and the schedule. Me and my family were able to travel to bohol because of the MTA policy... things that a normal company won't offer and of course the car service, no worrying of going home late since the service will bring you home safe, right in front of your doorstep....

Now, as of this writing, I only have a day left with DKS. Tomorrow is the day, my last day with Deutsche. And I am feeling a bit sad honestly... I am worrying about my process and every thing.

I will miss the people who made my last day with DB memorable... I never thought I had made so much friends here. I will surely miss my superior who understands when I needed to take a leave because of family matters. I will miss my circle of moms friends and the demanding onshore. I will surely miss DKS.... my home for the last 2 years...

....Sa giled ng Computer...

it was wednesday morning, after manalasa ni Basyang sa Pilipinas, I received a very heart breaking letter from my grade 1 daughter, Ate Bea...

She was probably asking why I had to go to the office that day since their classes were suspended due to the typhoon after effect. I know she was not feeling so well that morning, she was having low grade fever kasi. But since it's low grade, and i have things to do at the office, i decided to go to work.

While I was preparing to leave, she approached me and gave me something rolled and tied with her red sanrio rubberband. It was a letter, a plead i guess... and as i read her handwritten note I felt something warm flowing below my eyes... It made me teary eyed...well, it made me cry... her letter literally was cutting my heart into pieces... then I rolled it again.

I secretly wiped my tear, and told her... "Ikaw talaga Ate, alam mo naman bakit kailangang pumasok ni Mommy diba?!"... then she asked for her letter... Of course I refused to give it back... I told her "Ipapabasa ko to sa Boss ko, para payagan ka nyang isama sa ofis namin." Then she smiled and said "Ok, Mommy".

Then she happily went down the stairs... took some food at the fridge which she shared with denise and waved goodbye to me...

While I was travelling on the way to the office, i was very tempted to read her letter again, pero kasi ayoko umiyak so hindi ko na ginawa. But as soon as I arrived at the office, i took it off in my bag and reread it. Again, it made me cry... and until now, whenever I get a glimpse of it, even just the paper where it was written, napapaiyak parin ako.... I love you Ate Bea and Denise... you know how much I do...

Greatest Disapproval

Greatest Disapproval


Many of us unconsciously believe that we're unworthy. We adopt this belief very early in our lives, when the people we looked up to disapprove our demands, wishes and behaviors. We then conclude that we are no good.

The greatest disapproval is not when others put you down, it is when you put down yourself.

Lead me Lord...

These past few days... i have been feeling so low and sad. I don't exactly know why. Nalulungkot lang ako and marami ako masyadong iniisip. I guess yun yon eh... marami akong iniisip... mga bagay na pwede namang hindi pero once it crosses my mind it stays there and won't leave for a while..

Do i need a friend to talk to? I am not sure... Probably a psychiatrist? No...
I just need you Lord to guide me in my decisions during these low low days. Please make me strong enough to face all challenges each day... Please dont let go of my hands oh Lord when my faith seems to be slipping away...

My faith in you will help me overcome whatever difficulties, worries and fears i've been feeling these days... Lead me lord...

Lead me Lord
Lead me by the hand
And make me face the rising sun
Comfort me through all the pain
That life may bring
There’s no other hope
That I can lean upon
Lead me Lord
Lead me all my life

Walk by me
Walk by me across
The lonely road that I may face
Take my arms and let your hand
Show me the way
Show the way to live inside your heart
All my days, all my life

You are my light
You’re the lamb upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay by Your guiding love
All through my life
Lead me Lord

Lead me Lord
Even though at times
I’d rather go alone my way
Help me take the right direction
Take Your road
Lead me Lord
And never leave my side
All my days, All my life

You are my light
You’re the lamb upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay by Your guiding love
All through my life
All through my days
Lead me, O Lord
Lead me Lord

Our house...

As i've promised, here is a glimpse of our home... almost done pero marami pa ring gagawin. No paint yet outside though inside there is 30% accomplishment already on the paintings.

sana matapos na... we are about to move in by end of May... I hope medyo ok na by that time. Kahit naman hindi pa sobrang tapos basta lang wala na masyado alikabok, ok na kami...sana talaga matapos na! ***cross fingers****

Congratulations to COMELEC!!!

I would like to commend the COMELEC for being able to successfully implement the first ever automated election in the history of the Philippines. Despite some glitches, issues with the PCOS machines and more, i would like to conclude that it was indeed a successful one! Kudos COMELEC! Cheers!

Were you counted? Did you bacame part of our country's history? Were you able to exercise your right to choose the people that will shape our children's future?

I DID!!!! I am proud to have done my part as a citizen of this country.

Despite the long voting queus, the hot weather, the long wait... I was able to cast my vote!


I almost gave up when i was not able to find the precint where i was suppose to vote. I admit, it was my fault. I forgot to check my precint number in the IDs being given by the local candidates, i can check it in the posted list though but because of the number of people looking at the list, i decided to go back home and get the ID. Too late, i found out that there's a helpdesk where you can ask for your precint number! Gosh! I should have seen that earlier than going back home!!!! And stupid me, I do not even have an ID, i was just so lucky that mama is going back home to get hers, she volunteered to get mine nalang. Thanks Mama!!!

Anyway, going back to the queu, i'm very blessed that Chec, Papa and I belong to the same cluster (various precint nos. in one cluster) hehehe, I did not have to fall in line again since they've been on the line already early on. Thank God!

Now it's time to cast my vote... we spent less than 10 minutes in the voting area. First, presented my ID, casted my vote, fed the ballot in the PCOS machine (glad that the machine accepted my ballot on my initial feed), finally, indelible ink. Yehey!!!! Done at last!!!!

I know that the future is uncertain, but i still believe that we can change it now by choosing the right person to lead us. I am not loosing hope with the system, I believe that the Philippines will be able to cope up and be at par again with the other developing Asian countries. Maybe not in my time. So i am entrusting the future of my children to those I have voted!
Go Philippines!!!! Mabuhay!
