Last year, I spent most of my days weeping about my mediocre love life. If you’re interested in reading about my previous relationship/s, here’s a recap of the tragic love life I had last year…
The new dude I’m dating is 9 years older than me. Some people say that we have a huge difference in maturity level but I completely disagree. My boyfriend doesn’t look anything like his age at all. He just looks like he’s still 20-something years old even if he’s already uhm… older than that. Hehe.
One of the things that I loved about him is his bad boy aura. I’m not saying that he’s not a gentleman, it’s just that, the way he looks is like he’s always ready to put up a fight. He also has a tattoo on his left arm, which makes him look really maangas or astig, but I find it really sexy. He’s really a good guy when it comes to girlfriend stuff, and he’s the first guy of his kind who’s super caring and loving, despite the bad boy look.
We’ve been together since December 23, 2009, and this is the most exciting relationship I’ve ever had, because even if were still just a few weeks together, it feels like it’s been forever. I love it when he makes me keep on guessing what could happen next between us. He always surprises me.
Valentine’s Day is coming 7 days from now, and I can’t wait to see what he has in store for me. And you know what? I’ll just park my thoughts on Valentine’s for now and just update you guys the next time I log in, okay?

By the way, I’m really sleepy while I’m typing this post so you’ll notice a lot of grammar errors here. I’ll probably just update this later so this post would make sense to you. Ciao.
Yeah. I’m a call center agent. I’m a technical support rep for TVs. Last week was one of those weeks that working in customer service makes you hate humans who live in the other side of the planet so much.
Spending the days… err… nights helping customers correct the mistakes they have done on the TVs they bought that they don’t even know how to use properly, makes me hate my job sometimes. And after all the troubleshooting, and doing everything I could to fix their TV, it would end up as a service issue then I’d have to tell these customers…
“I’m sorry ma’am/sir, apparently this is an issue we can’t resolve over the phone and the best that I can do for you right now is to refer you to an authorized service center of Sony…” and when the TV is out of warranty I’d add, “…and the repair cost will be at your expense” and then… BOOM! The customer suddenly rants and yells some profanity at me.
“WHAT THE HELL? I’M NOT GONNA PAY FOR THE REPAIR! I can’t believe Sony can do this to their customers! I have a lot of Sony products in our house! And this is what you’re gonna do to me? What kind of technical support are you if you can’t even fix my damn TV? I WANNA TALK TO YOUR SUPERVISOR!”
I’d take a deep breath and tell the customer, “Mr. /Ms. (insert customer’s last name), our supervisors are busy taking in other calls right now. I understand that you’re upset sir/ma’am, but I hope you understand that these things do happen because your TV is still just a machine. It can’t heal on it’s own, and right now, the best we can do is to have it checked by a service technician. Now, once we have determined the exact issue of the TV, feel free to call us back so we can provide you with other options” <—One way of ending a call without escalating to a supervisor. Hehehe.
Then the asshole would say, “I’m sorry for yelling at you darlin’. Please don’t think that I’m angry at you ‘coz I know you’re just doin’ your job, Rose.”
But of course, my customers are not annoying all the time. I also get good calls. I had some irate callers from the start of the call but then I was able to pacify them. But sometimes if it’s a really bad call, I tend to do some bullshit to these customers and unleash the evil in me. I’d save these stories on my next posts. That’s it for now okay? I still have to meet my boyfie later. Ciao! =D
God can take everything away from you in an instant. Ondoy destroyed our home, our belongings, our fancy cars… everything. It was raining so hard and didn’t stop. The flood started from the basement. The water was rising really, really fast. Then it reached the ground, second and third floor in no time. It was like the Titanic sinking. We didn’t know what to do.
While we were trying to save our expensive things, we forgot to save some food. But all our things got swallowed by the flood anyway because we couldn’t escape our house if we were carrying too much stuff.
When the flood already reached our top floor, we had to destroy some windows so we could get to the roof before we could get trapped inside the house and drown. We escaped through an aircon slot in the master’s bedroom. When we were already on the roof, we watched our things get destroyed inside.
It was really devastating. Below are pictures taken after the flood.
You can view more of these photos in my facebook. Hopefully this nightmare will be over soon. Thankfully everyone in our household’s okay.

I won’t be actively bloghopping at the moment ‘coz we have to fix a lot of things. I’d get back to you guys as soon as I can. Today’s my first day of work by the way, so I’m really, really gonna be busy the next few days. Ciao for now. =(
