Live, Laugh, Love then SMILE =)

So there! My family went to this restaurant named Brazil, the branch located just beside Market Market in Fort Bonifacio, and gosh it was so satisfying! Though since it is a fine dining, eat all you can type of restaurant, expect it to be a little expensive hehe. But at around 700php I'm telling you it's worth every penny, or in this case worth every peso hehe. Let me tell you why.

First off, they have the usual buffet table where you can find a delicious pasta ( I forgot what it's called), a seafood viand, etc. What's unique about this restaurant is their "yoyo".


There hehe, basically their yo-yo is part of their "mode of service". When you flip the yo-yo and show it's red side to the staff, that's the self service mode, basically you go to the buffet table getting the food you want and so on, but you're missing out on the fun part bwahaha. The fun and eating begins when you flip the yo-yo on the table and show the green side to the staff, later waiter after waiter will come at your table and serve you all of their specialty barbecues, so many to choose from you don't know where to begin, soon you'll realize that you no longer have any room on your plate. They have a wide range of barbecue and grilled food ranging from 3 types of pork barbecue, beef barbecue, cuttle fish, sausages and even fruits like banana, corn and pineapple. My personal favorites are the spare ribs and chicken sausage. What's good about it is that once you've tasted all of their grilled goodies, you can specify what you want them to bring you next, if you feel a bit full and need to rest just flip the yo-yo and show the red side so that they stop sending you one grilled food after another. Once you feel you're ready to eat again just go ahead and flip the yo-yo to show the green side and say hello to the food again nyahaha.

Anyway, I rate this restaurant a perfect 10 hehehe! Very unique concept of service hehe. If you're the type who has large appetite and you like grilled food and barbecue, then this is a place for you hehe. Ciao! 'till next time, chill and God Bless

Alright. Saw the movie Max Payne last night and I have to say it didn't meet up to my expectations. Yeah right this is my review of the movie. This film is the rendition of the popular PC and console game. Though I haven't really tried playing the game I thought the movie was gonna be interesting but I guess not. Generally the story is about revenge. The only interesting part on it was the twist on the storyline. So there nothing much to say really. I wouldn't recommend watching this movie but I won't stop anyone from watching it either, it just didn't appeal to me that much. Oh well, to each his own hehe, ciao! 'till next time

Yep! That's right, frozen at 4, you'll know why in a bit. By the way, when I write blogs like this one it's never a short one so brace yourselves, if you're a blog reader or blogger fan or whatever, if you're fine reading lengthy blogs then you might find this interesting but if you're not really a fan of reading then be my guest and turn away from this page ahaha, your loss not mine ahihi. Anyway...

Frozen @ 4? Basically it's been four months since I resigned from my previous job, to put it more bluntly I've been a bum for 4 months now. I liked it at first, able to rest and all, getting a good night's sleep, spending weekends at home with family or friends, you know, the works. Like being back to a normal life or reality for me, escaping the paws of "you know what" hehe

I had this blog drafted previously so I could edit the entries but thanks to a crappy internet connection I lost most of what I've written here, darn it, what's left was the first two paragraphs so there, I have to redo most of the stuff written here...

Anyway, it was hard resigning from my previous job since it was my very first employment record and I enjoy the people I work with. Though the pressure and constant changes with work itself took it's toll on me, that's why I resigned. I was sad at first but I realized, it was the job itself that I'm actually leaving, the people that I've met and learned to love will always be a part of me... here are some of them...


                                              Miss you guys! God Bless
                                                              

Of course there are two sides to every story, or rather a disadvantage and an advantage. The bad thing about my resignation, obviously, being frozen @ 4 and of course NO INCOME, no source of cash, moolah, money or whatever the world may call it. A major disadvantage for me but hey, it was my choice anyway and besides, I do try to look for another job online so no one can say that I'm not really doing anything.

During my frozen @ 4 days a lot of good things happened too, and I enjoyed all of it hehe. First off, at last me and my closest friends were finally able to go out together, spend time with each other and have fun, lots of fun and all in time for summer hehe.

Me and my friends went to a resort to enjoy summer (while it lasts), also to celebrate a couple's birthday namely Myel and David's, it was a very fun and memorable outing since our barkada was complete, we were one and it has been a long time since we actually went out together. Not to mention the girls were allowed to go on an overnight outing hehehe. Words are not enough to describe how I felt during that time so here are a few captured moments



So there hehe...

Another good thing is that my bestfriend from the US visited the Philippines. It's been a long time since we've seen each other and I'm glad we kept in touch over the years. Although a lot has changed, when we got the chance to see each other we realized that many things also remained the same, we still enjoyed each other's company . By the way that friend is actually a Filipino who migrated to the US, and it was also because of him that I got to see my other highschool friends hehe.

And of course another captured moment...


OK I'm cutting this short, basically because I'm running out of ideas wahaha. Anyway, while I'm jobhunting online while frozen @ 4, I'm playing an online game called Cabal. It's fun actually, it's the second online game I've played since Ragnarok online. My character's a blader currently at level 113 completer, not a really strong character since it was too late that I've found out that aside from character level, skill level is also necessary. I even found out that a college friend plays this game hehe. (Hi jeng, here's our online pic hehe)...

Here's a queer moment bwehehe...

And a frustrating moment after a pvp...

Ahaha... Now I'm really out of ideas. So there, being frozen @ 4 is not that bad but I do hope to get a job soon since I need a source of income and I have a debt to pay hehe.

There are a lot of things ahead of us, trials, outings, happenings, failures, jobs, opportunities, this and that and whatever. It's not about what goes in our way or even against it, it's how we deal with it. I told you this ain't your short blog hehe, just a rant of someone frozen @ 4 bwahaha. If ever you were able to get this far, all I can say is thanks and I hope you found this interesting hehe. So let me just end this with something I just made up, it's actually written at my multiply homepage but here...

A friend emailed me this, and since I worked in a call center before, I can relate to these things and can tell that they really happen. I was laughing my heart out while I was reading this, it also reminded me of my call center days...

CALL CENTRE JOBS: PEOPLE WONDER WHY THEY ARE PAID SO MUCH......FOR

JUST BEING ON THE PHONE. Read on:

1)

Tech Support: "I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop."

Customer: "Ok."

Tech Support: "Did you get a pop-up menu?"

Customer: "No."

Tech Support: "Ok. Right click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?"

Customer "No." Tech Support:: "Ok, sir. Can you tell me what you

done up until this

point?"

2)

Customer: "I received the software update you sent,but I am still

getting the same error

message.

" Tech Support:" Did you install the update?"

Customer: "No. Oh, am I supposed to install it to get it to work?"

3).

Customer: "I'm having trouble installing Microsoft Word."

TechSupport:: "Tell me what you've done."

Customer: "I typed 'A:SETUP'."!

Tech Support:: "Ma'am, remove the disk and tell me what it says."

Customer:: "It says '[PC manufacturer] Restore and Recovery disk'."

Tech Support:: "Insert the MS Word setup disk."

Customer:: "What?"

Tech Support: "Did you buy MS word?"

Customer: "No..."

 

4).

Customer:: "Do I need a computer to use your software?"

TechSupport:: ?!%#$

 

 

5).

Tech Support:: "Ok, in the bottom left hand side of the screen,can

you

see the 'OK'

button displayed?"

 

Customer: "Wow. How can you see my screen from there?"

 

6)

Tech Support:: "What type of computer do you have?"

Customer:: "A white one."

 

7).

Tech Support:: "Type 'A:' at the prom pt."

inside."

 

14).

Tech Support: "Just call us back if there's a problem. We're open 24

hours."

Customer: "Is that Eastern time?"

 

15).

Tech Support:: "What does the screen say now?"

Customer: "It says, 'Hit ENTER when ready'."

Tech Support:: " Wel l?"

Customer: "How do I know when it's ready?"

 

 

16).

A plain computer illiterate guy rings tech support to report that

this computer is faulty.

Tech: What's the problem?

User: There is smoke coming out of the power supply.

 

Tech: You'll need a new power supply.

User: No, I don't! I just need to change the startup files.

Tech: Sir, the power supply is faulty. You'll need to replace it.

User: No way! Someone told me that I just needed to change the

startup and it will fix the probl em! All I need is for you to tell me the command.

 

10 minutes later, the User is still adamant that he is right. The

tech

is frustrated and

fed up.

 

Tech: Sorry, Sir. We don't normally tell our

Customers this, but there is an undocumented DOS command that will

fix

the problem.

User: I knew it!

Tech: Just add the line LOAD NOSMOKE.COM at the end of the

CONFIG.SYS. Letme know how it goes.

 

 

10 minutes later.

User: It didn't work. The power supply is still smoking.

Tech: Wel l, what version of DOS are you using?

User: MS-DOS 6.22.

Tech: That's your problem there. That version of DOS didn't come

with NOSMOKE. Contact Microsoft and ask them for a patch that will give you the file. Let me know how it goes.

 

1 hour later.

User: I need a new power supply.

Tech: How did you come to that conclusion?

User: Wel l, I rang Microsoft and told h im about what you said, and

he started asking questions about the make of power supply.

 

 

 

Tech support: Click on the 'my computer' icon on the left of the screen.

Customer: Your left or my left?

 

===============

 

Tech support: Good day. How may I help you?

Male customer: Hello... I can't print.

Tech support: Would you click on "start" for me and...

Customer: Listen pal; don't start getting technical on me! I'm not Bill Gates, damn it!

 

===============

 

Customer: Hi, good afternoon, this is Martha, I can't print. Every time I try, it says 'Can't find printer'. I've even lifted the printer and placed it in front of the monitor, but the computer still says he can't find it...

 

===============

 

Customer: I have problems printing in red...

Tech support: Do you have a color printer?

Customer: Aaaah....................thank you.

 

 

===============

 

Tech support: What's on your monitor now, ma'am?

Customer: A teddy bear my boyfriend bought for me in the supermarket.

 

===============

 

Customer: My keyboard is not working anymore.

Tech support: Are you sure it's plugged into the computer?

Customer: No. I can't get behind the computer.

Tech support: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.

Customer: OK

Tech support: Did the keyboard come with you?

Customer: Yes

Tech support: That means the keyboard is not plugged in. Is there another keyboard?

Customer: Yes, there's another one here. Ah...that one does work

 

===============

 

Tech support: Your password is the small letter a as in apple, a capital letter V as in Victor, the number 7.

Customer: Is that 7 in capital letters?

 

===============

 

Customer: I can't get on the Internet.

Tech support: Are you sure you used the right password?

Customer: Yes, I'm sure. I saw my colleague do it.

Tech support: Can you tell me what the password was?

Customer: Five stars.

 

===============

 

Tech support: What anti-virus program do you use?

Customer: Netscape.

Tech support: That's not an anti-virus program.

Customer: Oh, sorry...Internet Explorer.

 

===============

 

Customer: I have a huge problem. A friend has placed a screen saver on my computer, but every time I move the mouse, it disappears.

 

 

===============

 

Tech support: How may I help you?

Customer: I'm writing my first e-mail.

Tech support: OK, and what seems to be the problem?

Customer: Wel l, I have the letter 'a' in the address, but how do I get the circle around it?

 

===============

 

A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.

Tech support: Are you running it under windows?

Customer: "No, my desk is next to the door, but that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his printer is working fine."

 

===============

 

And last but not least:....

 

Tech support: "Okay Bob, let's press the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter "P" to bring up the Program Manager."

Customer: I don't have a P.

Tech support: On your keyboard, Bob.

Customer: What do you mean?

Tech support: "P".....on your keyboard, Bob.

Customer: I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT!!

Whoooooo!

Peace y'all and God Bless

Had nothing much to do today, suddenly stumbled on Inday's Blog (from Julie's post). Check it out, I was laughing my heart out when i saw it, here are a few entries you can find in Inday's Blog:



Nagpagupit ang Amo ni Inday:

Sir: Inday pakisabi na lang kay misis pag-gising nya na nagpagupit lang ako ha.

Inday: Alright.

Makalipas ang ilang sandali, nagising si ma’am at hinanap si sir.

Misis: Inday, ‘lam mo ba kung nasan…

Inday: Ahh your husband went to the abode of a tonsorial artist for a bit to have his hirsute appendage diminished.

Misis: Ano?!? May tonsilitis asawa ko tapos nagpatanggal ng appendix?!? (hinimatay) 

Inday: (sigh)

Regalo para kay Junior:

Malapit na ang birthday ni Junior at di pa makaisip ang kanyang amo sa ipangreregalo kaya’t naisipan nyang lapitan si Inday.

Amo: Inday, ano kaya ok na regalo para kay Junior? Toys ba? Ano ba yung uso ngayon? Beyblade? Pokemon? Yun ba mga pinapanood nya?

Inday: Madam, those things are so ancient…

Amo: Ahh games sa PSP, tama konti pa lang games nya diba?

Inday: I don’t think so. His 4-gig memory stick is already full of games and he still haven’t tried the rest of the games I’ve stored in my laptop. Trust me, he doesn’t need more games. Hmmm… (napaisip si Inday)

Amo: Hayy, damit na lang siguro.

Inday: I got it!! Buy him his own laptop for school. This would make his notebooks obsolete which takes up a lot of space in his schoolbag. May I suggest the Asus Eee 701 laptop? This is so perfect for him. It’s light and compact and is already loaded with all the necessary programs that he needs in class. Not to mention that it’s quite inexpensive for a laptop as well!

Amo: Hmm… pwede!



See? Check out http://www.blogniinday.com for more nosebleeding fun and laughter hahaha. Peace and God Bless y'all

OK. It's been a while since i've made my last blog, don't really know where to start but here it goes. I'm currently a bum, recently resigned from call center work about a few weeks ago. I do miss the friends that i made there and i miss the times that i see them almost everyday, but a lot of things happened and i took a few unexpected turns in my life that... i don't know... somehow lost me, and also the work itself, i can no longer bear, sure if other people look at it, call center work is an easy piece of crap! People might say that's it's a very easy job since all you have to do is sit around and talk to someone over the phone until the call ends. HAHA! easy for for some people to say. Call center work has never been under the classification of a walk in the park type of job, the way you have to handle calls, keep up with a lot of info, maintain your performance and stats, attendance, sudden schedule and policy changes, not to mention the type of people that would really push you WAY beyond you limits.



Call center work means CHANGES... changes changes changes... At times there are so many at a time that it overwhelms me, can't keep up with those. I mean change is constant although there are a few exceptional things that remain the same, change is generally constant, I mean, can't really do anything about something about to change but please! ONE AT A TIME for cryin' out loud. The only thing that makes a call center work stand out from the rest is... MONEY... yes MONEY! MOOLAH! CASH! Whatever you want to call it PERIOD! Alright, enough about call center makes me happy and sad and mad and whatever all at the same time hahaha. Now that i'm currently a bum i spend almost my whole day in front of my PC playing online games, checking emails and stuff but i do plan to look for a job soon, after a week hehe. And that stupid online game that i've been playing just initiated a server rollback to which i lost most of my items and stuff! Grrrr! Now i totally don't wanna play that online game anymore! Damn you DarkRO admins! No matter how many times you do a server reset or rollback people will keep duplicating your damn items! Wahahaha. When i think about it, maybe that rollback was what i needed to get back to reality, not to mention start looking for myself again. Apparently, I lost a part of myself, years ago, way way back, i have no idea where to find it, or who has my missing piece wahaha! Anyway, relationships are really hard to keep, there are times that the people you are most dear to you, are the ones whom you'd never expect to make you cry the most. Why does that always happen? How could a person throw away such a relationship because of one single forgivable mistake? Why is it that even with 1 million good deeds that one person does whole heartedly can be easily erased by one single fuckin' honest mistake? A mistake that one did not really mean to do? Thus the expression, "Life is unfair". But really, is life really unfair? Or is it that people tend to focus and even REMEMBER all the bad things that happen in their life and forget all the good things, the good things that make them smile, laugh, feel fulfilled, i mean why do people focus on the negative side? Hey! Earth to Ronn, reality knocking! OK fine, people will say it's reality! Again thus the saying or the expression "Reality bites" Yeah right! Reality Bites my ass! It's the person's actions that make his own reality bite him, so if people really think that way, then hell, let your reality bite you till there's nothin' to bite out of you! See for yourself how soon you'll die! wahahahaha! Here i go again being uber negative hehehe. Anyway, one thing that i would like to try, is to be always positive, sure there are gonna be bad times, but before I go complaining to the world why this and that happen to me, I'll reflect on the good things that happen in my life, look for a reason in me to keep me going, and if i can't find that reason within myself, then I'll just have to look for the reason through somebody else. One of my former office-mates said "God never gave me something that I couldn't handle" (Gene that's from you haha), and that should be people's mindset, change starts from within so i'll start now! If there are some things i can't do on my own, hey there are friends and family, i know there are people out there willing to help. So there, I strictly believe that no man is an island, if there's a point in time that you start losing yourself, surely you'll find yourself from other people whom loves you and who are true to you! Again! Life and God, won't really give us anything that we cannot handle, if we encounter something a bit overwhelming, it's just their way of saying "Hey, let me remind you that there are others willing to help you out", life may have purposedly given us something that requires us to remember the people around us, that's all, who knows, one day it's those people who might call on you next time.

So there! Hence, there's NO SUCH WORD AS "alone", everybody needs somebody, whether family, friends or lover.

Just LOOK AROUND AND BEYOND.

LOOK AROUND, there are a lot of good things happenin' by the minute, expect and REMEMBER those good things to happen to you only a few minutes away.

LOOK BEYOND, bad things happen to strengthen us and it happens for a reason, again and again! LIFE and GOD, they won't really give you something you can't handle, so smile , LIFE IS FAIR! cheer up!  Make REALITY YOUR LIGHT! ^_^
