Lea Salonga in 'Cinderella'

This I got to see. The last Lea Salonga concert/musical that I attended to was the 'Baby' final run on Meralco Theater last September 2005! YAY!

Toad the Wet Sprocket - Windmills

This is song is played mostly on the movie "Latter Days".

It was even on the DVD menu that I decided to look up on it because I fell in love with the melody and the lyrics as well! Definitely a new addition to the soundtracks of my life. LOLz

The DVD copy (whom I only borrowed) has some scratches on it. So up till now I wasn't able to watch the entire movie. I hope I could see a copy kahit original. Huhu! It's nice pa naman sana! The Mormon guy there is so cute! Hehe!

Sikil (Unspoken Love)

(photo courtesy of Josh)

Josh and I finally watched 'Sikil' last Sunday night. Supposedly it was Saturday, kaso nalula ako sa DVD collections nya when I stayed for the night over his pad. I ended up watching them on his laptop!

I'll post some of the clips soon, beginning with "Sex Drive". But, I digress yet again!

Anyway, technically and story-wise, mas maganda ang 'Sikil' compare sa 'Parola'. But there's no much nudity on this one, yun nga lang.

Overall, I would give the film 8 out of 10 points.

>>> WARNING: SPOILER ALERT BELOW <<<

Nga pala, mega-shopping muna si Josh sa Trinoma before we left for Robinson's Galleria where 'Sikil' has its exclusive screening.

First half of the movie, super bagal ng pacing. I like the second half of the film though. Ung intense na ang scenes between Will Sandejas and Ken Escudero.

Speaking of the two main actors, okay din acting nila. I would also like to commend Ken on the scene where he found out Adong (Will Sandejas) was beaten up and tortured. Galeng!

Cute ang story. Minsan mushy and corny, but we must admit lahat tayo dumaan sa ganoong setup. I myself experienced it when I was in Junior High. I like this girl, but my bestfriend liked her as well. Since bestfriend ko siya, I went out of the picture. Straight pa ata ako nun! LOLz

I cried on the mother-and-son meets again scene. Really! Bato ang puso mo pag hindi ka naiyak dun. I instantly remembered a similiar scene from "Blue Moon" but with Boots Anson-Roa and Eddie Garcia. Waahhh!!!

Kudos to Ms. Sylvia Sanchez who played the role of Enzo's (Ken Escudero) mother.

And finally, a non-tragic Pinoy gay flick! I thought merong mamamatay sa kanila. It's not a happy-gay-ending, but ok na rin. At least feel-good pa rin paglabas ng moviehouse. I'll definitely buy the original DVD when it comes out.

I was especially shocked when I got home in Muntinlupa around 11pm and received a text message from Josh saying, "...ingatz Adong!" Nyahaha!

Sa uulitin So.... err, Josh pala! Hehe!





PS: Now ko lang fully na-appreciate si Ken Escudero. Nyehehe!

$10,067

*UPDATE: I have no sales calls for October that's why I have no data for it and I am fully aware that October is part of Quarter 4. Pwede ba?! I'm not dumb.



That's my total sales for Q4 2007 (November to December 2007).*

It's not that much, but achievement na sa akin pumasok sa 10,000 dollar mark.

My score for the month of December is 2.90 (highest is 3.0, passing is 2.0). YAY!

Plus, today's my regularization day. Well, technically speaking. Di naman automatic salary increase but I hope I'll get my promotion from Tech Support Rep Level 0 to TSR Level 2 (instead of Level 1) next month.

What a great year to start! I feel so blessed that I don't know how to thank Him anymore...

My former Team Leader in Phase 1 (I'm in the last phase now, Phase 4) sent me a text message when she heard I was one of the Top Agents for Site Libis, to just focus on my work and I'll get really promoted soon. (Like I mentioned before, it's too early to be promoted as a Team Mentor at this point)

A.C. on the other hand told me (via AIM) that I have to be confident and never doubt in anything that I will or can do. The scores that I'm getting daw is a reflection of how I deal with people.

Yes, I'm pretty shy. But hopefully, I could overcome that in a few months from now if I will really step up to the next level (or makuntento na lang ako as an agent).

Keeping my fingers crossed! Hope I could meet future metrices and requirements since sobrang taas na ng expectations sa akin; Sales, Call Handling, Technicality and Customer Survey Returns.

Haaayyy...

Aga Muhlach on Men's Health

Men's Health Philippines January 2008 issue featuring Aga Muhlach on cover.

Special thanks to Josh for a copy of this one! LOLz

Dinotopia and #26

(not the actual cover for Philippine release)

Nyahaha! I finally bought a DVD version of this one before New Year's Eve! It's a 3-disc set for only PhP100! Cool beans eh?!

I literally grabbed it when I first saw it at Odyssey XL in the new SM Muntinlupa Mall. Baka may makakuha pa kasing iba, hehe!

I haven't had the time to watch it though during my offs kasi I've seen it a couple of times. What I took time to watch is the 'Sound of Music' 2-disc that I bought along with 'Dinotopia' for only PhP199! Wow!

But I digress!

The reason why I like Dinotopia (besides from Wentworth Miller) is of course the cuddly, lovable and very cute baby dinosaur named #26!

Here's some pictures of her I found on the net!



I am looking for a stuff toy of it online that I could buy but to no avail. She's really cute!


(#26 with Wentworth Miller)

I half-cried during the scene where she jumped off the clip to follow Karl when he attempted to leave Dinotopia. The poor thing almost drowned! Waahh!!!

Sara Smile

I actually first heard this one from Pido when I finally bought his CD last December.

Knowing that most of the songs on the CD were cover versions, I decided to look up this song and try to sample other existing cover versions out there and here they are.

Originally sung by Hall & Oates, Boyz II Men made a cover of this one on their "Throwback" CD and our very own Pido last 2005.

It's too early

My SME (Subject Matter Expert) a.k.a. Team Mentor told me after the shift yesterday, "Bukas nga sumama ka sa mga meeting ng mga SME's para ma-experience mo".

If he's joking, it's okay. Otherwise, I am deeply flattered.

Today I was named one of the two Top Agents for the month of December 2007 (and for Quarter 4 for 2007) due to the 5 Customer Survey returns I received, all 100% Satisfied, 100% Resolved.

I still don't have the details for the 5th survey but I have been coached regarding the first four with our Team Leader.

I can remember way back even before when I was starting here at work that I'll aim to be at most a Team Leader in the future. First step of course is to become a SME.

But my actual first day on the floor (operations) and seeing their workloads, I automatically backed-out of the idea.

I wasn't actually expecting those returns. I just make sure that all of my issues are resolved and verify the customer's e-mail address so they'd get the surveys. At most times, they don't answer the surveys at all even if the issue was resolved.

Actually, those 5 all-100% survey returns worries me. It would set a huge expectations not only from my Team Leader & Team Mentor, but with the Shift Manager's as well. Heck, my name is posted on the Agent Top Performance board twice! One for the month of December, and one for Top Agents for Quarter 4 2007. Sheez!

And as a treat to myself, Starbucks ito sa sahod! Haha!

I'm also thinking of treating my team to two rolls of cake or maybe ice cream. 16 agents plus a Team Leader and a Team Mentor ba naman mag-request eh, makakapalag pa ba ako? LOLz

The smash summer hit of 2007. I am not sure if there are still other 'Umbrella' versions out there. Let me know, ok?

But I decided not to post the McFly punk version since the end part was truncated for some reasons. I can't get a full version.

I Am Legend

I am planning to watch this when it comes out either in SM Megamall or Robinson's Galleria wherever near Pasig/Shaw area. Or probably on my hometurf in Alabang say Festival or Alabang Town Center.

Sino gusto sumama? Text-text lang! LOLz!

It'll be the first movie I will see in months, I think, and first of course for 2008!

Matt Wertz - 5:19

I got this from a co-worker's computer when I went to her father-in-law's wake last December 22. And after that I started downloading for other songs of Matt Wertz.

He sounds a bit like Ryan Cabrera or Paolo Santos at times.

This is the first of three songs that I'll be featuring from Matt Wertz.
