doing it right (i guess)....

so far im having quite a hard time to adjust here at work, though i somehow find the job very challenging becuase of the calls i'm doing and the quota to achieve a day... but somehow i'm still trying to achieve to the goal of at least / more than 8 passed applicants. i'm still working on how to reach the 100 call-outs a day, cuz so far, i'm still at the range of 50-65 call-outs a day, w/c can be a big point against me if i'm gonna be evaluated.

and add to the fact that i'm just the only guy in our group... it's quite hard to adapt to what they are talking, plus i feel like somehow alienated and intimitated by them... but though i see that during work they encourage me to strive more, but i somtimes feel a "dead air' around it... but i guess i'm just feeling insecure and somehow still trying to understand them and women in general... (sighs)

and yeah, i was able to go the gym yesterday with my best friend... buti naman at natuloy yung plan and i'm really hoping it will continue and the plan na magtutulungan would really be real... and yeah also, i was able to try-out the free trial work-out at fitness first last thursday, though i somehoe enjoyed the work-out at fitness first, i really felt OP when i was training there... and while training with my best friend, i felt like yung samahan namin is really getting stronger...

though there was a thought to back out a few days ago, because it made me remember the things we planned before or talked about pero di naman na tuloy... kaya i was quite assuming na this plan of going to the gym would be part of those things that wouldn't happen, just gonna be mentioned or talked but never gonna materialized... but i'm really happy that it materialized yesterday and it will be a continuous thing... sa totoo lng, bonus na lang yung pagiging fit eh, it's more of spending more time to hang-out with my best friend, kasi i know he'll be a lot busy this time becuase of his thesis and researches kaya the time spent hanging out would be lesser than nung summer... pero atleast nagawan ng paraan to hang-out by going to the gym during weekends... ayon lng. c",)

i guess i did choose the right way in continuing the gym gig with my best friend...i can't wait for next weekend uli and the next engagements to come...

ayon... i guess thats it for now... im really happy for the gym gig, cuz it really happened yesterday... and the thing with work, im hoping i can adjust fast by this week... so i cud make a few more calls, more than 60+ (or make it a hundred)... heheh :P

so... yon na muna...

here currently at work... and having my stomach rumble...

it's lunch time... so that means i can use the free internet access here at work...

anyways, i was 15 minutes late a while ago... the reason, i can't do #2... though, there was a slight poop that went off... i still feel constipated right now... and add to that my tummy is rumbling too... oh men!!

anyways, i think that's it for now... i wish my parents would fetch me later so i won't be commuting later... nakakapagod rin eh...

oh yeah, ill be starting my gym routine this weekend with my best friend... it's a good start to be fit, lean & healthy!!! c",)

nways... that's it muna...

so far so good...

i got to start working last tuesday (6/13) at TDS in Ortigas, then i was shipped to E-Telecare in Libis last thursday (6/15)...

somehow, i was having quite a hardtime on the first day in e-tel, becuase the script was quite a tongue-twister at first, but then i got the hang of it later that noon and did my calls as a phone screener for e-tel... then the following day (friday, 6/16) i didn't made any calls, becuase i'm still a newbie and i observed the right way to make calls... so far, i'm getting the flow of the script and how to properly screen applicants. and by 2mrw (monday, 6/19) i'll be starting to really screen applicants and also i'll be observed by the head recruiter officer of e-tel, which i see nothing wrong but anyways makes me kinda nervous too...

oh well, so far, im quite enjoying the job i'm doing... though it's quite tiring for my voice and my saliva, plus commuting home is also tiresome... a good nights sleep is always a desire every time i go home form work.

oh yeah, 2 weeks from now, on the the 30th of this month (friday) i'll getting my first salary!!! yehey!! :P

once i got the salary, i'll save the following (for gym, for my comics and a portion for my remaining balance for my tuition) and the rest (or half of what's left) will go to my savings account. and what's left will be our the family and my allowance... i know it's not that much yet, cuz i started almost half of the month... but it's a good start na rin, dba?

hay naku... i think that's it na muna... if i have the time during work (more on my lunch breaks) i'll try to blog what's happening to me...

oh yeah... i forgot... i have my own local number and my own cubicle (with a PC!!!) though i can't save my files, cuz it's used for recruitment purposes, having a PC and my own local # is quite something to brag paminsan-minsan... hehehe :P



aahh... i think that's it for now... :P

thus it begins...

tomorrow starts a new chapter in my life...
being a young, early 20's urban professional in the Human Resource industry.

a Yuppie for HR.

though it is connected to the course that i finished, i'm still in search for what my other potential are. yes, there are more potential that can be triggered inside my head. and i'm not being mayabang, i'm just being modest to tell. :D

anyways, the 1st 2 days of my work, starting 2mrw, i'm assigned at TDS at Ortigas then on thursday, the 3rd day of my work, i'll be assigned at E-Telecare in Libis. and i'll be assigned there until my bosses decides to either put me back at TDS or assign me to other call center. and i'm assuming that the relocation would be after i'm eveluated three months from now... so, hopefully, i'll be working in Lbis for three months...

though, i miss being in college and, somehow, leaving some of my friends there... i have to move on and have a place in society, right? and i see that the connections and bonds i have to my friends are still intact... though i cannot check on them always, because i tend to gain new friends in every new situation i am into, i can still contact them in a lot of ways. with technology getting bigger, the world is getting small by the days... though, yeah, i'll really gonna miss them, specially the ones at kalay (some of the psychs-pips & FA pips), i'll do my best to keep in touch with them... :D

hay, this is it... work... so far, clothing-wise, i'm somehow prepped-up na rin... i have 3 slacks already and the polos are sufficient enough to survive a weeks work...

i am ready... to face this new chapter... i can (and proud) to say that i have survived a lot of things... whatever things i face, i'll see it as a challenge... and i can face MY challenges (focus on the MY part... 'cuz it's my life. my problems. my decisions. MY CHALLENGES)

nways, wish me luck on 2mrw's adventure...

laterz... c",)


O yeah... HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to all FILIPINOS!!! Mabuhay tayong lahat!!! (and i hope & pray for POSITIVE changes for our country and to our fellow men)

a new leaf by tuesday...

i was able to pass the training yesterday... well not to be mayabang or something, i was the 2nd highest in the class, with a 91% overall score... yey on that! :P

anyways, i'll be starting on my first job this tuesday... then on thursday, i'll be assigned in Libis, the E-Telecare call center office, but i'm still an employee of TDS.. i'll just make phone screening interview for E-telecare...

i'm quite excited, cuz i'll be earning money for myself... but quite scared, becuase it's a new environment for me, working environment to be exact. and though i still have an uncertain feeling, i'm seeing it as a new oppurtunity for me to widen my potential...

(sigh) i'm still thinking on what to buy on my 1st salary... though, still, i'm really gonna pay the remaining balance at kalay... i want to reward myself on something... hmm... pero sa 30th pa nman yon eh, mdyo matagal pa... plus i'll be saving some of my salary for gym, cuz i made a commitment with my best friend that we're gonna be gym-buddies (and yeah, fix my gym sched with my work sked)

haay... this is it... something new... and just more than a month after i graduated from college... hahaha! :P

o cya, that is it for now...

NEVER EAT at a Mini-Stop shop...

this is the leasson i've learned for today, and hopefully for the rest of my working life...

the food, even if it has a tasty look... it's just the looks. and as the saying goes... looks can kill (literally, with these kinds of food they sell)

anyways, 1st day of training for my improvement of my english skills was quite a-ok... though it was really tiring (add the commuting going there & going home)...

and the pressure of my potential bosses to pass the training was quite noticeable a while ago... and i'm guessing that there's a possibility that i could get assigned at their office at Libis, QC... w/c is also good for me, but im not expecting anything yet. i'm just focused on getting 85% or higher on my english skill by friday...

nways, hope for the best for me on this....

now... i have to rest, cuz im really quite drained out for the day... i'll just eat dinner and sleep early, cuz 2mrw i have to wake up early again... buhay xavier nga uli ako... and this time, i'm getting paid....hehehe :P

the perks of being a taong-bahay

yeah... my last weekend before i settle down to being a 'yuppie' (bwakang ina to!! i hate that term... i miss college life!)

anyways, my parents and my sister are out... and im just here... chillin' down... i wish i could invite my best friend here right now to hang-out (but he's out of town)... anyways, i'll just clean my room and just try to watch some dvds here...

hay... so far, im excited to go to my first job... it's like going to school for a new school year... and yeah... there's the jitters of meeting new people and having new friends (and new people to abhor)...

so far, so good... i'm quite relax of all things right now... just keep an open and clear mind on things...

i think yon na muna... for now... i'll blog now and then (kung may oras, pero i'll try to make time para just to blog-in what's happening to me...)
