I was once a child dreaming to be part of public media.Taking mass communication could be my stepping stone in realizing that dream. But then, the school where I got the most coveted scholarship is not offering the course I want. So,I ended up taking a course which made me sick in computing millions of billions.I graduated my Bachelor’s degree in Accountancy at the top of the class last March 22, 2006. I can never forget the look on my parent’s faces when they stepped on stage to accept my silver medal. At last, my four years of struggle in college has been rewarded.
Life after graduation wasn’t easy for me. Looking for a good job in every corner of Bohol made my head aching.Job offerings to be employed in Manila as a computer teacher and an accounting assistant knocked my door. Though, far from my family, I accepted the offer. It’s not easy to be a teacher and a student at the same time. I couldn’t imagine myself being an educator at a very young age of 20. Student life is still in my system because I studied education after my work shift. I exerted my best effort to perform my job extraordinarily well and I managed my precious time so at least to excel in all my subjects at school. For some reasons, I stopped studying and focused my mind in teaching.
One school year of molding children is more than enough to realize that just like every one else, I am looking for a greener pasture. I sacrificed my career in teaching and call it quits. I try my luck in a call center industry. Luckily, I’ve got the coveted job offer instantly.Currently, I am on the wildest ride of my life. I’m now a call center agent, a certified travel expert, they say. But I’m not stopping here, I am looking forward of taking CPA board exam in the near future. I’m planning to complete my unfinished education course or take masteral degree perhaps.
As of now, I’m tired of being rich and famous.

After Eleven Years
Natawa ako sa kwento ng isang close friend.
This is a true-to-life love story daw.
May isang teacher daw in her mid-forties na in-love daw sa isang 20 something na co-teacher din. Let’s call the girl, Ms. A and the guy, Mr. B.
Ms. A is madly, deeply in love with Mr. B for no reason at all. They’re in the same school kaya obviously, lagi silang nagkikita.Ms. A is totally concerned sa welfare ni Mr. B at ito namang si Mr. B ay parang wala lang. Sabihin na nating, the feeling is not mutual. Thinking of the age gap, parang it’s something strange.’ Kaw ba naman ma-iinlove with someone in your mother’s age range. In rare cases, di ba?Dahil kay Mr. B, bumili ng cellular phone itong si Ms. A for one and only reason–to send messages via text or even to call Mr. B.
Pag-ibig nga naman!And worst…may awayan daw’ng nangyari dahil kay Mr.B.
Ganito kasi daw ‘yon……..Umeksena kasi daw si Ms. C. Na-watch daw ni Ms. A in her two lovely eyes na k-in-iss lang naman ni Mr. B ang lovely hands ni Ms. C. Aray ko po! Jelly-jelly fish agad si Ms. A. Of course, papayag ba naman siya na maagawan? Of course not! Parang shooting sa movie. Pang- award winning actress ang dating ni Ms. A .She’s crying. Dahil kay Mr. B. At dahil din kay Ms. C. Maraming sinabi ang ating bida sa maharot na kontrabida. At ang naging famous na linya ay ang……AFTER ELEVEN YEARS……Kasi naman daw, after eleven years of teaching sa naturang school ay ngayon lamang ang ating bida na fall in love. Grave ah!Wish ko lang,sana mabigyan siya ng FAMAS AWARD. Hindi nagtagal, nagkabati na rin sila Ms. A at Ms. C. Sana later na lang silang magkabati para may thrill ang story.
Ano kaya ang magiging ending ng love story ni Ms. A na horror story para kay Mr. B?
Abangan….

Nagmumura ka na ha!
The moment na napadpad ako sa call center, natuto na akong magmura which I didn’t do before when I was a teacher.
Gosh!!!
Marunong na akong mag:
“Putang-ina mo”
“Shit ka!”
“What a fuck!”
“Fuck you”
“Go to hell”
Aq ba 2?
People change, ‘di ba?
Gosh!!!

From Work to Inuman to Mass
December 7, 2007. I ended my graveyard shift around 6 am. Well, I went immediately to the PS sleeping room to sleep. I didn’t go home yet ‘coz I covered the shift of agent VDIOQUINO from 10:00 am MNL to 7:00 pm MNL. I badly needed money so, I rendered some overtime.The opportunity is there, so why not grab it?
ALMOST LATE
I woke up 10 minutes before 10 am. Gosh! I was almost late then. I went to restroom first to do something then, I proceeded immediately to my station to set up all the necessary tools in taking calls. Exactly 8:59pm CST (9:59am MNL), I logged in.AUX 3It’s Aux 3 again! My favorite! The favorite of almost all of the agents. Thanks to Supe Roma! I was exempted in taking calls for almost half day. Why? I helped some morning shifter agents in creating some decorations in the floor. It’s a great honor to be mingle with them for the first time. There are still lots of agents in the morning shift that I’m not familiar with. Sup Roma introduced me to them: “Guys, I want you to meet Earl from graveyard shift.”Taray!
ON THE WAY HOME
I was on the way home with co-agents Kathy and Mitch.It was a terrible trip! It was super traffic talaga! We’re still in Gil Puyat avenue and the traffic is- Oh my Gosh! We’re standing position inside the bus. After half an hour, we reached the LRT station. When I took the line to buy a ticket, I found out that I lost my wallet. Gosh! I was worried! Not with the amount I lost but the sentimental value of that wallet. I remembered, it was given by my student last December 2006. The amount I lost was……..charan…..barya lang…bente ata. Goodluck sa nakakakuha! Hehe
INUMAN BLUES
My hauzmate, Andrea received a phone call from an old friend inviting us for some social drinking. At first, I declined. I was tired then. But then again, si Andrea naglalambing. Miss na daw niya si ……. Well, hindi naman ako ganu’n kasama para pagbigyan ang isang munting wish. Midnight, we headed our way to ……… I with Andrea and her cousin. Inuman talaga ng Gilbeys. Then, smoking cigarette pa kami. Mighty ung brandname. Hehe. Then, practice pa sila panu humawak ng baril oh! Aztig talaga. Umuwi na kami no’n bandang 4 am na.
FIRST COMMUNION
I woke up the next morning around 7:30 am. Well, I prepared myself to attend mass. First communion kasi ng mga Grade 2&3 pupils ng SRPS. Andrea should be there kaya sumama na lang ako.
SLEEPING TIME AGAIN
Pag-uwi ko after the mass, kain muna taz tulog agad. Bawi muna tulog!

The Laguna Invasion-The Second Time Around
We supposed to invade the land of Bulacan. But for some reasonable reasons, we ended up heading our way to Laguna.
What a nice trip!!!!December 1, 2007. It was a very busy day for me. We arrived home with my housemate, Andrea around 3:00 PM. We came from Sir Blancia’s residence somewhere in Malabon.While Andrea’s sleeping, I headed my way to Tutuban Mall to buy some stuff there. Then, I went to Ms. Pastrana’s Residence to take all those San Mig Lite bottles and return them to the retail store beside our boarding house.At home, I prepare all the things I’ll be needing for our trip to Laguna. I supposed to attend the anticipated mass at 6:00 pm, but to no avail.
In the house was Sir Joel transformed into Joyce with her/his girly look.Josh and Kuya Dong were in the house as well. And with Andrea, they tasted some San Mig Lite. Laughs!
I received a text message from Sir Michael asking me where we are na. As I checked the time, it’s a couple of minutes before 7 pm. So, we finally headed our way to the jeepney in front of the school that would surely bring us to our destination.I have to acknowledge the late arrival of the sweethearts, Mr. Escobio & Mr. Peñaflor. Laughs!
The trip started with a prayer. Storytelling, eating some chips, sleeping…were just some the things we did inside the jeepney while we’re travelling.We reached our destination….We’re nowhere to stay yet!!!! After the select and reject process, we ended up staying in Lynn’s Private Pool. Well, the place is quite nice. It has three separate rooms, a pool and a videoke machine.Honestly, I wasn’t in the right mood. Why?Nothing. I couldn’t even answer my own question.I felt there’s something different. Laughs
!Basta!!!! I don’t want to share the whole story!!!!
