I don’t really know what triggered this. Lately I’ve been going on facebook more and playing more games on it. I wrote about me playing some games on facebook about a year ago. And the funny thing is now, I’m not playing those games anymore. Currently, the games I play on facebook now are Restaurant City, Biotronic, Typing Maniac, Who Has the Biggest Brain, Bejeweled Blitz, and just yesterday, Mafia Wars.

Recently, I find myself checking these games every now and then, and then I’ve also been checking status updates now. Before I didn’t really bother. I couldn’t care less. A couple of days ago, when I went to Quiapo, I subscribed to Globe’s Surf All Day on facebook for P20 for 24 hours. Even though I could check facebook when I get home, even though there’s hardly anything you can do on the mobile version of facebook except check status updates, I still went ahead and got it. And I probably really just used it 4 times, about an hour each. The 4th time, I just forced myself to use it again before it expired because it would be a waste (even though it was really a waste to begin with).

Now, I could be doing something else, like blogging more. Like updating my food blog. Like listing down top rated diet pills for someone I know. Or answering the questions my team leader threw at me a month ago. Like cleaning my room. Basically just being productive instead of playing on facebook. But nooooo~~ =_=

Arrr… *me goes back to Mafia Wars*

For the past 2 months, I’ve been going home early. At work, we call it VGH or Voluntary Go Home. We get to go home early, and we only get paid for the hours rendered. So for example, I only worked for 4 hours, I only get paid for that 4 hours. And since we get paid on a bi-monthly basis, we get a deduction instead. Since I lost 4 hours, I have a deduction worth 4 hours. Instead of getting more money because of the 20% night differential, I lose that altogether.

Well… I don’t really mind much. To be honest, I’ve been feeling a lot healthier lately. I’m not that stressed and I’m pretty well rested. We’ve been joking around at work that we’re like part-time workers, because as soon as VGH is offered, we’re always taking it. It’s not that I don’t want to work, but if given the chance to rest more, I’d take it. Once I go up the ladder (LOL! As If), there won’t be such as thing as VGH anymore. It will always be Voluntary Over Time Without Pay.

And here I was, planning to buy a new desktop, fly to Hong Kong, and even get a new cellphone. I’m such a slacker. Today, I got my VGH form by 1 am, and I could have gone home right after that. But instead, I chatted with my team leader about random stuff, not just about work. We talked about computers too and how these get obsolete in a matter of months.

Computer parts now are kind of like expensive car parts. Like … like… Ferrari parts, I guess. For example, my Pentium 4 parts won’t really be useful to a new Core 2 Duo or Quad Core system. My old RAM won’t be that useful. I even having a problem with what to do to my IDE drives. I’m sure I can still use it on newer systems, just that it will take a lot more work.

I saw a nice computer package at PCBodega.com. I’m eyeing the PC bundle they call CONQUEROR.

*siiigh* I waaant i waaaaant

but i don’t need right nao =/

I just had this for breakfast

I ate that over 3 hours ago in my air-conditioned room, and I can still smell it in the air. I’ve sprayed Lysol and Lavender-scented air freshener, and I’ve put some lavender oil on the oil burner and I can still smell it. It’s like the scent clung on the sheets.

Don’t get me wrong. I love this flavor of Mi Goreng by Indo Mie. I really do. I love its smell. I love its taste. But I don’t like the smell of it clinging onto my skin and hair. And speaking of noodles…

AAaarrrghh I hate noodles again. I know it’s carbohydrates, and I know that this junk just makes me fatter. Instead of taking some fat burner pills I keep chomping on noodles. But hey! it’s been a while since I last had noodles. Maybe … like 3-4 days ago.

No… I’m not complaining about my weight again. I’m not. Really.

These past few weeks, my team leader has been bugging me about applying for a higher position whenever there’s an opening. He makes me evaluate myself as an agent, as a leader, and as a person, to find out for myself if I’m ready. He makes me answer questions that are like the ones that would be asked in interviews. He makes me evaluate and look at my team mates objectively. He has made me floorwalk to provide assistance to other agents. In short, he’s preparing me to become either a team leader as well, or part of the support team.

I want to move up. If I don’t feel like working somewhere else other than a call center, I might as well make it a career. It’s not like I can’t. I’m defying my words from before, but yeah. Whatever. And I really do want to get promoted, a real promotion. But whenever I think about it, I get really scared. I start shaking and I feel like I want to cry. It’s like I have stage fright or something. I want to go out there, but I can’t.

I know I should leave my comfort zone one day if I want something else to happen to me. I can’t just stay rooted to where I currently am. I know the end would also bring me comfort, but right now, if I keep on feeling this way, I just might not be ready.

And so… yes, 4th of July came, and I had work, of course. I had a customer today who asked what kind of luck I had to make me work on the 4th of July. I told him that I had rotten luck, that’s why. He said he was also feeling lucky that tech support was open because he really needed to get some work done. I told him that troubles don’t go on holidays. Suddenly losing the service and what not, these things can happen, just like accidents.

Anyways, he had all services–TV, Phone and Internet–down. He was a little alarmed because his home alarm was going bonkers (I could hear it in the background as well). I don’t really know how home alarm systems work, but I know that they’re connected to the phone, and when something (I don’t know what) happens, they get notified or alarmed that something happened.

Anyways, it just turned out that this customer shut off the gateway where everything was hooked up because he was planning to leave for a couple of days and he didn’t want it on. And when he was about to call someone, he found that the phone was dead.

Well, fun fun. We just switched it on and everything came back up. I don’t blame the customer for incidents like this. I blame the dummy technician who didn’t inform the customer that that huge silver box with green lights is the brain of their service and it has to be on all the time. I’ve had over ten calls like this, because the technician didn’t tell them that teeny bit of information.

Ah… good thing he was in a pretty good mood, and he had good humor. Some other calls, the customers are freaking angry.

*sigh*

Life.

He’s not fat at all, but he said he was too fat and I wanted to just kick him in the face. Anyways, he said he plans to eat oatmeal for 2 weeks, and nothing else, and was asking me if that would be a good way to lose weight. Of course I said that it would, but I think that would leave him unhealthy. I’ll have to see in the next few weeks if he’ll be able to do it. I don’t think he can. I know I can’t. That’s why I’m constantly looking into slimming pills reviews to find out what’s the easiest and most effective for me without having too much hassle.

I know that I should do some exercise, cut down on food, change my eating habits and what not, but I don’t really have the time, or desire to change my food. I love instant noodles too much to even think about completely stopping it. I want to slim down but I don’t really want to. It’s not in my top priorities. Heck, it’s not even in my priority list at all. My doctor said that I’m abnormally healthy, aside from the fact that I’m a little too over heavy.

As long as I’m healthy and happy, right?

I have never tried running on one of those treadmills before. I imagine that they might be hard to run on based on those funny accident videos. My brother tells me that it’s easy and it doesn’t require much brains for application. You just turn on the machine at low setting and run. You can increase the speed or difficulty of the settings as you go along. Awesome things they are, they way they can tilt for harder workouts. Some even have programs you can choose for varied results.

I want one. So I can wear something nice for a change.

I am a fan of good food and sweets so it has been hard on me on my attempts to trim down. The other day, me and my brother were shopping for some pants and it has been relatively getting harder to get good fitting ones that are actually comfortable and wearable for work. The old lady at the store kept offering “Skinny” pants for someone not so skinny like me. Internal Miii was laughing her head off.

Recently, I have been checking out diet pill reviews to see the best ones on the market. I have come across a few that have already piqued my interest as of the moment and have referred some to my brother who; for the life of me, has taken an interest in these things as well. I pretty much look up these things for reviews and other related matters like price and availability and the ratings other happy customers have given it.

Who knows, the idea of me wearing Skinnies might not be so funny in the future. :p

I was sitting back as I was reading this magazine that featured Mikee Cojuanco and suddenly I remembered watching some of her movies. She had this pretty smile and a sunny disposition. I decided to look her up and noticed that she was also an equestrian that represented the country a few times.

My brother saw me looking her up and he casually told me that she was hot in full equestrian gear. With the helmet, breeches and her little horse-whip. i raised my eyebrow at him and continued my little research about that person that was I was currently interested in. He just laughed and and went straight to the fridge.

Come to think of it, those kind of pants were sexy to look at to begin with as they seem to be streamlined to produce the least amount of drag. It looked comfortable too. Maybe I’ll fit in to one someday or they make something in my size. Whichever comes first.

My poor brother seems to have developed lactose intolerance so that pretty much means that he has to stay away from dairy products with lactose in them. Just thinking about it, any food blogger might think that it would be like living in purgatory because most of the good deserts have some form of dairy on it.

No more Starbucks for him. *chuckles* He was even joking about using it as a form of weight loss program as it gives him a really bad case of diarrhea. He should use something like ephedrine as an effective means of losing weight. It’s not as uncomfortable as how he wants to do it and it would cost even less to just buy a bottle compared to drinking a Frappe everyday. It’s effective too as the reviews put it.

The never-ending quest to lose weight tarries on.
