Dreaming of A New House

For the past two years since I had this computer, I never fail to search for an affordable house that I can purchase through a loan. I've been wanting to have our own house in a nice subdivision since we're only renting our place. How exciting would it be to design your own house and buy custom fit chairs and tables. Though I really don't know when would it happen, I am still fervently wishing and praying that I could afford such a house. I already have my plans for it as early as now. I would definitely buy one of those cute tiffany table lamps that I'll use on the living room. I love their glass table lamps! Then I would purchase those huge chandeliers to have a more dramatic effect. I also would like to have it painted white and brown, two of my favorite colors. Have I told you that daydreaming is also one of those things I love to do during my rest days?

Cheap and Reliable Hosting Services

Being a call center representative was my dream job before. When I came here in the city to look for a job, I have always dreamed of working in an office, wearing headset, sitting in my desk, talking to people over the phone, assisting them with whatever they need. When I see billboards or posters of call center companies with pictures of their agents there talking on the phone, I have always wished I was the one on that picture. Fortunately, my dream came true, not that I am seen in one of those billboards now but that I am working in one of the country's prominent contact centers. Maybe due to the high number of support needed in the technical department, I was hired as a technical support representative although I am not at all technical when I applied for the job. I have just learned basic technical skills in the training and eventually from being on the phone everyday fixing technical issues of the callers.

  At first I was a bit scared, because I was not so confident with my English and that I might get lost and dont know how to fix the issue they are calling about. But for three years of being in this field, I have learned and quite master the craft. Sometimes I log in on the phone without tools at all yet pulled up on my screen because I came in to work late or sometimes the system is down. Sometimes we talk with our seatmates while assisting someone on the phone. Some things have became really easy for us but still not everything. There are a number of issues that I still fear hearing about and really get lost and stutter trying to make myself sound so knowledgeable about the issue. Some of those are email, assigning static IP addresses, and some software issues. Include there the business account issues like webhostingmanaged hosting and the like. What I do when I encounter such issues is that I transfer the callers to another department if my make-believes do not work. There are a lot of things and issues about networking I still have to master, like this new thing I heard called colocation. Im looking forward for a more techy me to be more efficient in this career I am on now.

Updates on My Restday

Today I celebrate my fourth year in the office...one more year before our retirement yey! I am really excited about my retirement as it would symbolize a new chapter in my life. I would be then resigning and would put up my own business. I would try to be a full time blogger for maybe six months and would again apply as a part time technical support representative. I would most likely invest most of my time serving the Lord through the church. I can't wait until such time I would again be able to get closer to God the way I used to before.

Unfortunately, my shift today was not that good. I don't know what's wrong with me but I don't really feel like working. I guess it's because I am still affected by what I've dreamed of yesterday. It's about a guy I like. I really feel that this feelings I have for him was not reciprocated accordingly. It felt so real and it hit me real hard. Theres' been a lot of attempt to forget about him but all failed. As my friend told me earlier today, it must be a sign that this one sided love affair won't have a happy ending.

Anyways, since it's my rest day...I have a lot of time checking the net for my early Christmas shopping. I prefer buying Christmas gifts online as it would save me time and energy as I need not go to a retail store to buy stuff. I also do get a lot of discounts and most of the time, it's a lot cheaper than buying on a specialty shop.I want to buy a cute kids backpack for our baby Empoy and a personalized duffle bag for Eddyson. They are our little angels in the family. I also saw a something through Dallas lawn maintenance that would be a perfect gift for my mom so she could maintain her garden. I still don't have any idea on what to buy for my sisters and brothers and of course for my dad. I would try searching online for the perfect gift for them on my next rest day. For now, I would first watch my favorite movie. Good night everyone!

Home Coming

Went to Montalban and visited my mom a and my dear angel Empoy earlier today. We were supposed to go jogging and after that go to Church but since we made it to the house at around 9 am na…sobrang init na, we decided to just stay at home na lang. Empoy was still sleeping when I arrived. After about 15 minutes, I already saw his smiling face and my heart melt literally. I missed him so much! Since mama is going to the Church, were left with Empoy and Kuya Elmer. We ate our pasalubong na burger and palabok. We also bonded with dear Empoy the moment I checked the photo albums I was supposed to bring home from Montalban. After that, I rested and slept for about two hours until my mom came home. We had a hearty lunch and just had small conversation while watching Paparazzi after which we went home with my Kawaii Piano Organ. I really want to know how to play the piano and serve God through my music. I really pray I would be able to learn how to play the piano before the year ends. Went home at around 4pm riding a cab, spent P600 all in all for this day. Tsk, it’s already a lot for me. Well I guess I would just do overtime writing some paid articles. I know God will help me in my finances. I love this day!

Finding Love Through Online Dating

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone on planet earth has a partner? Someone who will be with them through thick and thin. Someone who will support them in every endeavor they have. Well, I guess that is just a mere impossibility but I also believe that if there is a certain desire in a man's heart for a lover, God would not hesitate to give it to them, in due time. I also believe that you need not just wait for love to arrive, you need to also do your part. You also need to search for it. One way to look for a possible partner is by joining dating sites. One success story is of my friend Melai who joined colchester dating. It is a site where colchester singles meet and search for possible future partner. There are a lot of colchester personals available so you do have an option to meet the person that would best fit your personality. Check on the site now and I hope you can find the love of your life soon!
