I finally resurrected from the dead. Or should I say zombie state-of-mind? Oh I am unpredictable alright... And my mood today dictates that I should be back in the blogsphere! <br /><br />As for my schizophrenic persona online who went on hiatus, I decided to take it one step at a time. Maybe I'll update the others, like my art blog, music blog, photo blog and whatnot.. but for now, I better "<b>cure</b>" myself by sticking to one alter ego. lol...<br /><br />So for starters, here's an amazing video (more like "photo-slides") from a painfully beautiful song...<br /><br /><center><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JzZ-Mgi1My4&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JzZ-Mgi1My4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><b><u>To Wish Impossible Things</u></b><br />by <b>The Cure</b><br /><br />remember how it used to be<br />when the sun would fill up the sky<br />remember how we used to feel<br />those days would never end<br />those days would never end<br /><br />remember how it used to be<br />when the stars would fill the sky<br />remember how we used to dream<br />those nights would never end<br />those nights would never end<br /><br />it was the sweetness of your skin<br />it was the hope of all we might have been<br />that fills me with the hope to wish<br />impossible things<br /><br />but now the sun shines cold<br />and all the sky is grey<br />the stars are dimmed by clouds and tears<br />and all i wish<br />is gone away<br />all i wish<br />is gone away<br /><br />all i wish<br />is gone away</center><br /><br />---<br /><i><b>note to self:</b> don't be gone off too long.. again</i>Irvine's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04878274447105965757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714216314156167066.post-50692746295258594342009-10-17T18:58:00.000+07:002009-10-17T18:59:37.819+07:00Working on a Weekend<img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2307/2447322662_dd0ccd3673.jpg" width="300" align="right" hspace="4"> <br />It's cold and silent at the call floor now. All that I hear are cars vrooming outside, on the busy highway. Once in a while I hear beeping jeepneys and an ambulance passing by. Only the hiss of my computer keeps me company.<br /><br />My fingertips are starting to feel numb and rubbing my hands before placing in between my knees do not help. How could I ever forget my jacket?! Tssk! <br /><br /><br />Two hours from now about 5 agents will join me in this <strike>freezer</strike> room. But after a few minutes they will transfer to the Conference room because they have a training. <br /><br />No calls yet. Nobody yet. And its the weekend. The schedule just came in and they need me tomorrow as well. So I go straight for 2 weeks! But that's not all. The bad news is (or should I say worse?), the schedule for next weekend is not definite. <br /><br />Wow! What a way to start a campaign. I can just imagine the agents who will be assigned in doing this. I just hope they choose people who would not waste their time sleeping while waiting for calls to come in. <br /><br />Well let's see... the client did not choose me to handle this if they didn't trust me. And besides, once I'm done training the new agents, the campaign will be given to another Manager. Then I'm back to my old sked.Irvine's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04878274447105965757noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714216314156167066.post-7680493238228141362009-10-12T23:14:00.002+07:002009-10-13T01:59:44.282+07:00McDonald's at the Louvre!?!OMG!

Well, Honestly, I have only been to Paris once and I do not live there so I have no right to protest! But c'mon... I may be a tourist but I won't fly all across the globe just to see a golden M arching above the Louvre!<br /><br />It's one thing to see McDonalds sprout like mushrooms everywhere but destroying the centuries old architectural beauty of a place for the sake of this junk is another.<br /><br />Strangely, some French citizens do not see this as a big deal.

When the author died October 7, 1849, his cousin, Neilson Poe, neglected to tell anyone. As a result, just a handful of people showed up at Poe's funeral in Baltimore, Maryland to pay tribute. <br /><br />Tomorrow, at two different times, amends are being made in Baltimore. It's expected that 300 people will attend each of the TWO funerals being held Westminster Hall. The hall, which used to be church back in Poe's day, is next to the cemetery where he is buried. From the description of the building's Gothic architecture, it sounds like it would be a perfect setting for Poe's funeral even if Poe and his wife weren't already buried next to it.<br /><br /><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8301128.stm" target="_blank">Read the story at BBC</a>Irvine's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04878274447105965757noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714216314156167066.post-12458626817826893632009-10-09T22:48:00.002+07:002009-10-09T22:48:00.441+07:00TOP 10 EC droppers for September1. <a href="http://www.thirdworldgeek.com/" target="_blank">thirdworldgeek</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">19 drops</span> (<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">sent 296 credits</span>)<br />2. <a href="http://www.mercblogger.com/" target="_blank">Mercenary Blogger</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">16 drops</span> (<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">sent 160 credits</span>)<br />3. <a href="http://agiledeals.com/" target="_blank">Philippines Travel Blog</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">15 drops</span> (<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">sent 414 credits</span>)<br />4. <a href="http://www.joetaxpayer.com/" target="_blank">JoeTaxpayer</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">11 drops</span> (<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">sent 86 credits</span>)<br />5. <a href="http://goyzmartinez.net/" target="_blank">blogging tips by goyz</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">9 drops</span> (<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">sent 146 credits</span>)<br />6. <a href="http://vugh.net/" target="_blank">The Puncher's Chance</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">9 drops</span> (<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">sent 274 credits</span>)<br />7. <a href="http://www.iresearched.info/" target="_blank">Research</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">6 drops</span> (<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">sent 140 credits</span>)<br />8. <a href="http://www.buckrobin.com/" target="_blank">The Way I See It</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">6 drops</span> (<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">sent 1,036 credits</span>)<br />9. <a href="http://yashirokuru.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Yashiro</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">6 drops</span> (<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">sent 44 credits</span>)<br />10.<a href="http://gnacfunkytown.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Funky Town Disco Music</a> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">5 drops</span> (<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">sent 266 credits</span>)<br /><br />Thanks to all those who have visited this blog during my <a href="http://callcentales.blogspot.com/search/label/travel">vacation</a> and since I was back.<br /><br />And although I only received a few EC drops during this period, to show my appreciation, I am giving back the credits x2 to my top 10 droppers!

But just last weekend, the worse flood in 40 years hit the country and left hundreds dead, almost two million people affected and 80% of Manila was submerged. <br /><br />Then Ondoy (local name) / Ketsana (international) traveled along the South Asian belt, leaving more people and countries devastated. And when you think that Ketsana is over, super typhoon Parma (international) / Pepeng (local) is currently over the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8285721.stm" target="_blank">Philippines</a>, which made the President declare the whole country under a "<a href="http://ph.news.yahoo.com/afp/20091002/tap-philippines-flood-typhoon-5cc1ef8.html" target="_blank">State of Calamity</a>"! And forced 10,000 families flee from their houses at Albay due to volcanic mudflow raised by the waters from the <a href="http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/video/nation/regions/10/02/09/10000-families-flee-lahar-mt-mayon" target="_blank">Mayon volcano</a>. <br /><br />After leaving the country, Ketsana passed <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090929/ap_on_re_as/as_vietnam_typhoon" target="_blank">Vietnam</a> where more than 30 people were killed and almost 200,000 people fled their homes. Then it went to <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8281950.stm" target="_blank">Cambodia</a>, where reports of about 20 killed. Now, it's battering <a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/SE%2BAsia/Story/STIStory_437351.html" target="_blank">Laos</a> and adding more to the death poll. <br /><br />But Ketsana is not the only storm and disaster that occurred in just a span of 7 days. An earthquake hit <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8286635.stm" target="_blank">Samoa</a> which resulted to a tsunami that killed 129 people and another earthquake shook <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8287573.stm" target="_blank">Indonesia</a> killing thousands. <br /><br /><center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6AIir9XS72_LcHgQz4xebKEvKNnb8km3BIMPjTRLYNUfoWMIpLpOUlD0VG_xWQBmc69IeweqyMzV-sMl4ycMNfp5JDdtTvmXGibKQ7jG2uJg5P_ekML5vtx1NDkcY1VDJrsOW1UTQ_HY/s1600-h/samoa.gif"><img width="300px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6AIir9XS72_LcHgQz4xebKEvKNnb8km3BIMPjTRLYNUfoWMIpLpOUlD0VG_xWQBmc69IeweqyMzV-sMl4ycMNfp5JDdtTvmXGibKQ7jG2uJg5P_ekML5vtx1NDkcY1VDJrsOW1UTQ_HY/s400/samoa.gif" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388164587985575042" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_1xhkSQrQSK782gcgYLduskae_ZcqetCBNvklbKlED4NUJZWFTcyZJpwVTEi41sCId8qqqvsa_DDDlMqdbUcG8U2RnsX2ZnSfaafW_9_tckaGutGjY6CUhTu56qXGZcbSshkGvWYGpv0/s1600-h/indonesia.gif"><img width="226px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_1xhkSQrQSK782gcgYLduskae_ZcqetCBNvklbKlED4NUJZWFTcyZJpwVTEi41sCId8qqqvsa_DDDlMqdbUcG8U2RnsX2ZnSfaafW_9_tckaGutGjY6CUhTu56qXGZcbSshkGvWYGpv0/s400/indonesia.gif" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388164596816992242" /></a></center><br /><br />And that's not all...<br /><br />Three days of torrential rains have killed at least 125 in <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8286446.stm" target="_blank">India</a> and affecting thousands.

Please bear with me as I pour my sentiments out here today... comments are welcome, pro or con.<br /><br />I know it's awkward to ask help from a person who's also a victim of the Ondoy flood. But when a relative from overseas was able to gather a huge amount of donation, I would like to ask, does it mean it's only for one household?<br /><br />I know somebody in this case where a relative was able to send almost 100,000php cash to someone who's house was flooded chest deep. Luckily, they have a second floor thus, they were able to save most of their appliances and things except for the heavy ones that they can't carry. <br /><br />On another hand, I constantly hear horrible stories from colleagues and friends. And seeing the news from both online and on TV, I can't help but compare the magnitude of devastation.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3481/3962112728_16d92bc909.jpg" width="250px" align="left" hspace="4"> The only major thing that this household lost was one car, submerged halfway in muddy water. Most people would totally replace such a loss. And practically, that donation is not enough to replace one. But honestly, would you think about just getting ONE CAR with this amount?<br /><br />I am volunteering in a feeding mission and our group aims to feed about 400 people in one day. But the amount we have is not even half close to that donation (mentioned above), but I was advised NOT to ask from them. And this, I can't understand WHY!??!!<br /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2444/3969435508_8a218bc410.jpg" width="250px" align="right" hspace="4"> These 400 people have totally lost EVERYTHING! And need to start from ZERO. This is just ONE house, compared to hundreds! <br /><br />The person who advised me said, "it's the principle behind it." WHAT Principle?!? Which one??? And what happened to the Principle of GIVING?<br /><br /><center><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2466/3967248973_ee9d4d8c75.jpg"><br />one car vs a hundred houses...<br /><br />I am not asking them to save the world, but please people... if you are lucky, it won't hurt to share a bit of your blessings.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2532/3967693291_b5b5519954.jpg" width="350px"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3467/3967759379_02c05c26e7.jpg" width="350px"></center><br /><br />photo credits (in order): <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/magnifique_f8h/3962112728/" target="_blank">magnifique faith</a>, <br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/27673812@N05/3969435508" target="_blank">caritasinternationalis</a>, <br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36081899@N08/3967248973/" target="_blank">PIDC Toronto Y</a>,<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mar1ec2/3967693291/" target="_blank">Mariessima</a>, <br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilovestrawberries/3967759379/" target="_blank">ilovestrawberries (Carmi)</a>Irvine's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04878274447105965757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714216314156167066.post-24687078409789028432009-10-02T22:30:00.004+07:002009-10-02T22:30:01.419+07:00Live Streaming of Philippine News<a href="http://www.gmanews.tv/livestreaming/"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 327px; height: 170px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDo-E6tKJnDuQgW9bSNqvlq-t9aPdLj9_N4z3XDPsXrqCxCTtud0X9pk6PZ1E7PKNOEd4OVob0TLUuMKPQ_H9nB5PHLq7nGhPg3fJqJbMdcuCmfCmRWPD9S8eZkfatV90OjIUDCTmuqIY/s400/livestreaming_head.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387037258966558210" /></a><br /><center><a href="http://www.gmanews.tv/livestreaming/" target="_blank">GMA NEWS TV</a></center><br /><br />If you have a Facebook account, you can also <a href="http://www.facebook.com/widgets/livefeed.php?app_id=146049506928&width=335&height=658#" target="_blank">connect here</a>. <br /><br />And speaking of online tv, a colleague of mine gave me a site where you can actually choose from the Major local networks and watch them on your pc.

Individual donations for private or personal families will not be accommodated. <br /><br />source: <a href="http://www.philippineairlines.com/news/free_pal_airlift_of_donations_for_ondoy_victims.jsp">Free PAL airlift of donations for Ondoy victims</a>Irvine's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04878274447105965757noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714216314156167066.post-52658093861628520492009-09-29T01:39:00.001+07:002009-10-02T05:20:38.233+07:00Ondoy Ketsana Tragedy...If You would like to help...<br /><br /><center><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2443/3960792856_c0a0ab4835.jpg"></center><br /><br /><a href="http://www.timesnewsnetwork.com/how-to-help-typhoon-ondoy-victims" rel="nofollow">how to help typhoon Ondoy victims.</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.timesnewsnetwork.com/typhoon-ondoy-floods-manila-philippines" rel="nofollow">Typhoon Ondoy floods Manila, Philippines</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.timesnewsnetwork.com/typhoon-ondoy-emergency-contact-numbers-list" rel="nofollow">Typhoon Ondoy emergency contact numbers list</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.timesnewsnetwork.com/typhoon-ondoy-flood-videos" rel="nofollow">Typhoon Ondoy flood (MORE VIDEOS)</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.timesnewsnetwork.com/typhoon-ondoy-floods-manila-philippines" rel="nofollow">Typhoon Ondoy floods Manila, Philippines</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.timesnewsnetwork.com/typhoon-ondoy-emergency-contact-numbers-list" rel="nofollow">Typhoon Ondoy emergency contact numbers list</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.timesnewsnetwork.com/how-to-help-typhoon-ondoy-victims" rel="nofollow">How to help Typhoon Ondoy victims</a>Irvine's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04878274447105965757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714216314156167066.post-67669988679699090092009-09-28T05:34:00.003+07:002009-09-28T05:51:53.699+07:00Please Pray for the Philippines...<center>This is just one of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ondoy&search_type=&aq=f"target="_blank">hundreds of vids</a>...<br /><br /><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dqAdaiCZBQ4&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dqAdaiCZBQ4&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object><br /><br />see flickr <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=ondoy&m=text" target="_blank">photos here</a></center>Irvine's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04878274447105965757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714216314156167066.post-63202835473758878562009-09-24T23:42:00.001+07:002009-09-25T01:01:29.074+07:00While I was Away...<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3505505516_224b37b52e.jpg" width="200px" align="right"> The day after my flight... only 5% of the agents showed up. Gee! I hope they didn't take it against me that almost everyone went on leave. Well that was their decision, and I have nothing to do with it.. Now after that humiliating turn out, the big boss said that moving forward, any agent who wished to be absent should text him first and he will decide if it is allowed or not. Previously, they text me. And I only allow a certain number of agents per day. SOmetimes even none. <br /><br />Anyway, that was a bit funny to hear about. Someone from a different department told me while we were chatting a few days after the incident. And soon as I got back, I asked the ones who were present if all these were true. And the story is confirmed. <br /><br />LMAO...Irvine's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04878274447105965757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714216314156167066.post-82297153202869367162009-09-23T21:04:00.003+07:002009-10-02T05:23:43.272+07:00For the Kids...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE1IDLgKsSiIb9Pja70VhrQEbQEBYd-oXPLD_AOqY4kCQjR8KCVO1Zrta5Bit9FnK8FX1pz-z4zNMjmUMZnk6Ml5DCOrBWLfC1CQutC7JwVFrGrsq0QdGUeC1uqgW6UkL5pK8Pr9YaE0Q/s1600-h/ActiveFun.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE1IDLgKsSiIb9Pja70VhrQEbQEBYd-oXPLD_AOqY4kCQjR8KCVO1Zrta5Bit9FnK8FX1pz-z4zNMjmUMZnk6Ml5DCOrBWLfC1CQutC7JwVFrGrsq0QdGUeC1uqgW6UkL5pK8Pr9YaE0Q/s400/ActiveFun.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384663858819511538" /></a><br /><br />Maybe I'll be there with my nieces... a small treat from being on vacation. <img src="http://media.bigoo.ws/content/smile/happy/happy_206.gif">Irvine's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04878274447105965757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714216314156167066.post-26498511839914815092009-09-22T22:40:00.001+07:002009-09-22T22:45:40.317+07:00I'm back!Just a quick posty to welcome myself back to the Corporate World!<br /><br />Now daydreaming is still allowed, only its gonna take a few more months again before it happens!<br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1136/1428763297_87f67999c0.jpg">Irvine's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04878274447105965757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714216314156167066.post-73114667016423915472009-08-26T23:16:00.003+07:002009-10-02T05:21:24.363+07:00Work and Blog Hiatus...<center><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/145/404805507_de32c641db.jpg"></center><br /><br />As some of you may know, I am going away for a while as I take my Vacation Leave outside the Philippines.
