Wow.. two weeks have passed since my last update! Am I really that lazy?
We went to Bagiuo last week, so that would be one excuse. But still, I sure wish I owned a laptop. It would make blogging a lot easier. Anyway, I'm going to try something new with this blogging thing.. I wonder if I'd be dedicated enough to continue with it.
Okay, since it's been a long time since I've updated my journal, I'm going to give you a brief summary of what has happened during those days that I was too busy to blog. According to the last entry on my other journal (on my website).. which I think is already very very old.. I just finished with our training and I just started taking calls. Well, Its been three month now. Yep.. I'm still working at that certain call center and I'm still a technical support engineer. What changed during those months was - I got to know the ISP team better - and everything seems to have gotten affected by that! Remember when I kept whining about my job? It's totally different now. And remember when I told you that the tech girls were scary.. well.. I was pertaining to the people from the webhosting department (hehe.. not all of them - lagot ako!) and not our team.
You probably would be hearing alot about my teammates on this journal so think I should introduce them to you. Now, who do I begin with?
You all know Corinne right? She needs no introduction anyway... harhar! Besides, she's from a different department. Hmm.. okay, I'll start with the current morning shifters (I'm now in the morning shift so I get to hang out with these guys more.) In alphabetical order, they are: Cris, Darwin, Jeff, Louie, Mheng, Mike, Patrick and Peapie. Cris and Louie are the Tier 2s, Darwin, Jeff and me are the neophytes, Mheng, Mike and Peapie are the oldies. Hehehe.
Cris is the official 'crush ng bayan' in the office and believe it or not, he is also the youngest to ever get promoted to Tier 2 - I'm even older than him.
Darwin is the newest victim of GTS. He's also a fresh grad and he also claims that he's only 20 years old.. plus, ang ganda ng asawa nya.. hehehe.
Jeff is a month older than me - in GTS. He's one half of the most famous couple in GTS - America's Sweethearts Devie and Jeff. He's rich and he's a 4x4 freak. Right now, he's in Hong Kong doing some studying about Cisco networks or something like that.
Louie is the other Tier 2.. the self proclaimed most deluded man. He already caught a girl in web dev and he's still searching for more! Yari ka pag nahuli ka!
Mheng... hmm.. this guy also doesn't need any introduction... Mhengdy is the bachelor of all bachelors! Having courted every girl in our office, he's still proud to be a bachelor!
Mike on the other hand, is our resident father.. his wife just gave birth a month ago.. He is also the guy with the really long hair - and good American accent - whom Liza noticed when we first entered GTS.
Patrick used to be a member of the web hosting team. He is a friend of Karl so I get to see him before during our training days. He looks alot like Legolas - the elf from Lord of the Rings.
Lastly, There's Peapie! I voted her as Miss Congeniality during our Christmas party because thats how she really is.. Allan R even told her once that the name Peapie really suits her personality - she's very 'kikay." Did I mention that she has a tatoo?
Okay, So these are the people in the morning shift. Next, here are the night shifters...
Visit my other blog, the side projects project, for more useless information. Emo crap stays here, non-emo crap goes there.

It now only takes me a bottle of super dry to get me tipsy. After three years of training in the drinking field, it all comes down to just a single bottle of super dry... Well, it was proven yesterday. We went to libis last night on such short notice - it was just planned two night ahead. What I think happened was, the five girls of the isp team's night shift were planning on another 'girls' night out'. I don't know how the boys got involved in it but afterwards, the boys are tagging along. Then the night before the actual event, thanks to my thoughtful twin sister Joni, it even officialy turned out to be my birthday celebration - which is still two weeks away... Anyway, we went to the ever popular bargo and pier 1 - bargo being the concert queen Donna's turf and peir 1, Gerry's favorite night spot. Hehehe... It was a good thing that when we were at bargo, we just played billiards, thus donna wasn't able to perform, besides, Aries was sporting the sexy bedroom voice that evening - it wouldn't be right to waste in on videoke... hehehe... I really did stunk at billiards that night.. maybe its the super dry... or maybe it's really been a while since I last played - wait - we did play billiards a month ago and for me, that is just very recent. Well, it's either I'm not really good at it or it's the beer.. uhm.. it's really the beer... hehehe... seriously. Darwin is good at it. He's at his 'pa-humble' mode at first - "di ako marunong e... pano ba to?" - later on, the cue ball was spinning different curves and those colorful balls kept dissapearing one at a time.. It was a good thing that he was my partner during the doubles - hehehe.. i never did shoot a single ball! Devie was even playing better than me... even Rose.. well, what more do you expect from those girls. They can even outlast us guys in a drinking competition!
And then there was Pier 1! Gerry's night spot! hehehe.. They were right, the calamares are great!
I'm not really in the mood to give out the details about that yet.. maybe later.
I have my bread stick and my mongolian barbeque - what's missing is my mug! They really must have thrown it away when they were cleaning the cubicles. We don't have lockers here in our office, where do they expect us to place our mugs?! Wait... isn't it forbidden to eat in our cubicles? Hmm.. who cares? There are only three of here for the isp team. Tier 2 Louie, Tier 2 Cris, and me. They're both eating breadsticks anyway.
Another boring day in the office. It's always like this. We usually don't do anything after 4pm. That is why I've got time to do this journal now.
