My Chronicles #14

Been lazy in posting a blog this past few days but I promised myself that I will continue posting so that it's easy for me to remember whatever has happened to me. One day last week, my daughter was telling me she was angry with her daddy and she won't tell me why. Then the next day, when I woke up from my day sleep at about 4PM. I saw her silently crying while eating her afternoon snack. I kept on asking her why she was crying, even asked her even her dad spanked her or if she was scolded. She said no. So I asked her to go upstairs and I told her we will play with her stuffed toys. She obviously didn't want to tell me so I had to reach out and figure out what she was feeling sad about. After a few tries, I finally guessed that the reason why she was feeling sad because her dad uninstalled one of the programs I downloaded and installed for her. It was an educational game. She really enjoyed the program however one of the punishments my husband did was removing it. My husban...

My Chronicles #13

June 16 (Thu) - Janel's Kumon day. We didn't have to move it when we found out the change of schedule. June 17 (Fri) - Attended a Parent's Orientation (after work) at about 9AM. Had a chat with one of the parents of Janel's classmates. I was the one who brought Janel back home. She seems to be feeling cranky, probably due to waking up early. June 18 (Sat) - Went home early to wash my dirty pants. I also had to wake Janel early since we plan to wake up early next morning for our trip to Olongapo. I also planned to bring my Brother printer for repair, but then I canceled it because my husband volunteered to help me take it to the repair center on Monday and he just asked me to rest until we go to my in-law's house to sleep. June 19 - I wasn't able to sleep too well, but then I felt though that our trip to Olongapo got canceled so I got to sleep longer than it is expected. Too bad, we had to cancel it because of the heavy rains. The road can be too dangerous duri...

My Chronicles #12

June 11 (Sat) - Slept in the office, ate at my favorite resto then went straight to Ever Gotesco to have my first Pap Smear in Medical City, Pasig Clinic. The doctor advised me that I have minor Cervicitis and I will be able to get the results after 10 working days. It's also Janel's Kumon day so I asked them to come over so Janel can play in McDonald's play pen. Went home to rest for a while, but I was too anxious to print out a few work papers so I start trying to print out a few however I found out that my printer is only printing out cyan and yellow ink. Arrrgh. I'm gonna have to bring it to Sta. Lucia for repair. Too much hassle. Tsk tsk... By evening, we went to my in-laws place to sleep over for travelling to Olongapo the next day. June 12 (Sun) - My family and my in-laws left at about 7am. Stopped over at a gasoline shop by 8am and then I also bought 2 boxes of Bibingka from Bibingkinitan for us to eat along the road. We arrived at our destination at around 9am....

My Chronicles #11

So far I'm getting the hang of our tools at work. Still trying to figure out though how I'm gonna lay out my windows. I was able to make a sale this morning at about 3am almost before getting off work. It's true, the sale would just come to you. I was almost thinking of giving up because it seemed that the work can be too challenging considering you still have to callback a customer after a few days to check if they have received what they bought or to update them of the delivery status of an order. Then there is setting up dispatches, arrrgh, but when I did it again it seemed simpler when I already knew what to do. So hopefully I can bear this up to at least 1 year. I also document one my calls that made my day less stressful . A lady at the onset of the call was too happy just by hearing my name. It went like this: Me: Thank you for calling. {},My name is Nellie...How may I help you today? Caller: What? your name is Nellie!? (laughing) That is my favorite name in the worl...

My Chronicles #10

Training's done, passed the practical examinations and just finished my second day in the transition queue. Call handling is not very hard, I'm mostly having difficulty about how the calls are logged and how cases are owned. As for last weekend, just stayed at home nothing much to do but a few simple house work I guess. Monday, I finally went to the bike shop to have our bike setup with a side car. It would be extremely difficult though to use it since our gate is not wide enough to accommodate it. Also had the chain of Janel's bike fixed. Later that afternoon, I picked up her books, went home rested for an hour then prepared for work! I was surprised that I wasn't as tired as I thought. Taking calls kept me awake. After work, I just slept in the female nap room. When I woke up, felt really hungry then ate Pork Chow Fan in Chowking. Also bought plastic covers for Janel's books, and markers for use at work (Each of us have our own white board and cubicle) When I go...

My Chronicles #9

After work yesterday, woke up my dearies because it's Janel's Kumon session day. Kulang pa rin sa tulog pero kinaya ko naman today. We got our Maxicare health cards at last. Will schedule a check up this week for myself probably this weekend. I'm kinda worried about the pain after urinating and I also feel tolerable pain in my lower abdomen. (This entry was for two days ago....was cut short while blogging it) ************************************************************************************* Already done with our call certification at last! Practical exam na ngayon for care and tech, then next week, off to TQ. Before going home dropped by at Janel's school. Wasn't able to pick up her books yet but at least I found out her classes won't start until June 13. Went straight to bed when I got home. Medyo kinulang pa rin sa tulog dahil may nang-istorbo na tumatawag sa phone ko. Pero mukhang kayanin ko naman kahit paano. Off to prepare for work again.... ciao!
