Kerfuffle =)

I saw my cousin Marquis last night at my tito's birthday party. He's in 4th year colllege and he told me that this is hell week for him. Several papers are due this week. When I saw him he looked tired. He told me he was so sleepy. I couldn't say enough. I've been working for four straight days now but I feel so tired also. The calls in this office... endless. I was even placed on the priority split yesterday and I was so pissed off. I also had to finish a lot of pendings this week. The accounts I monitored and the memos I had to close. I felt nostalgic this afternoon. I felt like I was doing school work and it included cramming! Wah! Thank God it's Friday. Thank God my best friend emailed me this morning and told me she'll come home this December. That really perked my day. I was so happy! =) I'm so excited to see her and spend time with her. I'm actually saving up so that when she comes home we could go out. Well, no matter what, I'm still thankful that I survived another week. I'm grateful that I have my friends and my family to support me and for several weeks now I have this special something in me that I look forward to everyday. Something that is worth keeping. =)

Priority Split?!

I'm actually feeling good today for some reason. I'm logged today from 6am-3pm(so early!) but I need it anyway because I'm going out with my 2 girlfriends later. Yahoo! I'm on the priority split but I really don't care. Maybe it's because my TL is the one playing with the spilt so it's like I don't have a reason to complain. ;) I really don't know but in some way I feel quite inspired. I'm having these mixed feelings of delight, joy, happiness, calmness, and probably contentment? :) Lately, I've been feeling all these although there is quite a lot of work to do because it's been kind of stressful these past few days. Thanks for the unending que. :) I really don't know yet what has gotten into me. I'm still confused? Some things are quite hazy. Hehe=) I just hope that I can sustain this until next week and the week after and the week after.... :)

Where I Belong

Recently, my boss announced that there will be a regional incentive late this year. It is a sales training in Vietnam and she'll pick three people from our department to join the training. When I heard it... wow! was the first thing that I felt. Darn. I felt really excited. I told myself I want to be in that training!=) Suddenly, I felt inspired and I realized something. For the first time in my life, I realized that I've finally found the one thing I'd like to do. It's like I already found my purpose and my gift. It may sound cheesy but I guess I belong to sales. For the past 2 years, this is what I've been doing and it's certainly growing on me. I think I've finally found the one thing I'm good and I am bent on improving on it. It feels really good and I thank GOD for it. These past few days, I've been really praying hard that I may have an opportunity like that. I have never wanted anything in my life so bad as much as this regional training. No matter what, I will continue what I am doing and will further improve on this. Oh man, this is where I belong. =)

Aliza=Bestest Friend

The other day, I spoke with my best friend. Her name is Aliza Reyes. We've been friends since 7th grade. I remember when she was introduced by a common friend, I was so shy to even say hi and come near her. She was the one who made the initiative. She spoke to me and asked things about my life. Little things like where I live, how old I was, favorite subject, favorite food, etc. The things that elementary kids talk about. Hehe=) From then on, we became close friends. Regular conversations at school and on the phone. Even if we'd see each other everyday, we'd still write letters to each other. Corny but it was really a lot of fun. The friendship deepened and a lot of times we'd find ourselves talking about life itself. Different insights on love, family, friends, and career. About three years ago, she migrated to the U.S. with her family. The friendship is still there. That will never fade and I will not let that happen. I don't have a lot of good things in my life. I'm not rich. My friendship with her is one of the beautiful things I look forward to everyday. It is one of those things that I treasure in this life. Definitely, I will not let go of it no matter what.
I miss this person so much that most of the time it hurts and it makes me cry. I miss her because she knows me inside out. I cannot lie or deny to this person. It's like she can read my mind even if we're just talking on the phone. This person is truly... amazing and no one can replace her.
There was one thing though she didn't notice when we spoke the other day. I sounded happy but I was actually crying. I guess I got one over her that time. =)

Sunday Morning

Sunday morning I'm wake up
Can't even focus on my coffee cup
Don't even know who's bed I'm in
Where do I start?
Where do I begin?
Sunday morning is my favorite part of the day. I don't know why but I'm always delighted and excited whenever I wake up on a Sunday morning. It gives me a feeling of... redemption, maybe? Not that I'm excited to work on the next day which is Monday. I've always felt that Sunday is for family wherein you spend time with them just hanging out at home or maybe going out. Just basically spending time. Now, I don't feel so good. Mainly because I have work on a Sunday. Grrr. Another thing is that I don't like my calls for today. I believe I'm on the "priority split". My seatmates don't have too much calls. I hate it. I want this to be a good day. I hope it will change. Maybe I can call my best friend later. I miss her so much. I know that will definitely perk up my day. I wish she's here with me. She just seems so far.
