His Reign Is Ever-lasting
As the clouds roll in to cover the sky
Like a heavy saturated grey blanket gone, black
Near by lighting begins to streak, begins to strike
With thunder crashing, sounding close behind
Just as quick it begins to fade to silence
As the sound of pitter-patter rain hits against the pane
Like tears of sorrow against the woe some soul
As I begin to trace each drop’s path, I recall your face
As the hours pass, and the clouds begin to part
As light begins to slice its way through the darkened sky
To form a sign, a most translucent arch of color
To recall His Promise of Grace
I cry out: His reign is ever last
I’ve been working for two weeks now. I mean truly working, coz I’ve attended their training but just for pre-employment with allowances. But now I’m in fact a certified eTel employee! I officially started last August 19. I’m really thankful that I got the job, when I applied for eTelecare we were about 27 applicants but at the end of all eliminations there were only 3 of us left. I realized that it’s hard to find a job now since there’s too much competition when you go out and apply. There are a lot of people who are more eligible than you, have a lot of working experiences and are really good. By the way, I have so much to say about the job since at first I was so hesitant to continue TechPet (Technical Pre-employment training) coz being a Technical support is exactly for IT, Comp. Sci. grad obviously far from my expertise. After the training, I was happy to know that I passed for Dell BUT I realized that there are still a lot of exams to come, and lastly we must pass VERSANT!!! Arrggghhh! It's probably curiousity and wanting to learn more about it that's why I decided to continue, though we were really warned that Dell is the most difficult account to handle in eTel and that our clients would be from US government/offices so we must seriously know what we are doing. I have to work hard, in short. Hehehe (I can do this!). At home I’m the one who puts viruses on our computer until it won’t switch on from downloading a lot of stuffs and if there's something wrong regarding hard drives I just let my brother do the dirty work (haha) and now I’m going to be the person solving the problems of a certain client regarding his computer from the other side of the globe. It’s totally freaking weird thinking about it. Honestly, before I was thinking of continuing to study and review for NCLEX and IELTS but I think I made the right decision to experience working first. Why not in a hospital? Cause most hospitals in RP are now in FREEZE hiring state. (Sucks) Then again I also want to move out from my comfort zone to experience and learn new things. Being a student is challenging but being an employee is a different thing especially with a whole new setting, it's way too far. Plus, I also want to know how it feels to have my own paycheck/money and not wanting to spend it all from shopping since I earned it through my hard work and that I have to save. And be able to say that I’m not asking money from my parents anymore since I’m already 21. Thank God. So far, it's been fun. Stressful and tiring at times, but fun overall. I enjoy all the interaction with folks of different strokes. Learning and having fun at the same time is really a wonderful experience. So, back to my first ever real job! Despite the stress and the pressure, I feel like I'm alive and breathing in this job. We’re for CST this week, I’m looking forward in tearing up a computer, fixing it back and making sure it works and not explode, how to properly answer calls from clients by being relax, knowing how to probe and dealing with different clients especially the irate ones. Before, I thought that it’s easy to be a call center agent because all they do is talk in english and earn big bucks, but upon entering the world of night shifts and endless calls now I can totally attest that it’s not just how good you are in communicating in English but it requires hard work. Before we can handle calls we must pass every exams to be competent and capable enough and every month there are criterions (quality assurance, ratings and more!) that you must pass. With all honesty, the best part of my job is the people I work with. Most of us our still in our 20’s but they’re so up to the challenge, committed and so enthusiastic. Even trainers and supervisors are so young. And it's also a good sign when there are co-workers you look forward to seeing. So, that's me, Arianne the working girl! 
(during my short visit in Mindoro, it was worth carrying my heavy books there) Makes sense diba? It's actually a motto ripped off from Goethe. 
Sometimes we have to experience adversity but at the same time, we must know how to take pleasure in our life in every possible way.
I just passed the board exam for nursing which is actually a big achievement. The 500 items examination was difficult and the process that I went through when reviewing and preparing wasn’t easy.
I’ve sacrificed a lot of my time and effort but upon seeing my name in the computer screen brought delight to my being (Thanks to Charmaine, she was the one who told me that I passed!). I've even cried and can't stop thanking Lord God for such a wonderful gift. It's like winning a lotto, big-time talaga! hahaha and all the hardship was expunged. And when I saw my grades just last friday, I felt even happier! It’s really surreal!
I’ve endured and now I can enjoy!  Always be optimistic... don't take life TOO seriously... Why should you suffer when you don't have to? Easy lang dapat!
First thing I would like to say I love BOB ONG! wahehe now I even decided to collect his books (their cheap which is a good thing, go na ko sa Powerbooks haha) his works shows the realities of life and many lessons in a somewhat funny way which is also good coz we can't always be serious... "Mangarap ka at abutin mo. Wag mong sisihin ang sira mong pamilya, palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta, o mga lumilipad na ipis. Kung may pagkukulang sa’yo mga magulang mo, pwde kang manisi at maging rebelde. Tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, mag-asawa ka, mag-drugs ka, magpakulay ka ng buhok sa kili-kili. Sa banding huli, ikaw din ang biktima. Rebeldeng walang napatunayan at bait sa sarili." I say, AMEN! Grabe this is so true! Why blame others when YOU can do something to improve your life. Ayt? Meron mga taong lahat na lang isinisi sa mga nakapaligid sa kanila when they can do something. Be productive, help other people and improve our lives! Aim ko din ito sa buhay na huwag maging bum at pasaway na anak! haha "Nalaman kong hindi final exam ang passing rate ng buhay. Hindi ito multiple choice, identification, true or false, enumeration or fill-in-the-blanks na sinasagutan kundi essay na isinusulat araw-araw. Huhusgahan ito hindi base sa kung tama o mali ang sagot, kundi base sa kung may kabuluhan ang mga isinulat o wala. Allowed ang erasures." Para ito sa mga taong masyadong matalino at matataas ang grades, mga mapang-api sa mga average at below average! wahaha ganti ba ito ni Bob Ong... siguro hindi siya matalino sa klase hahaha... Pero seriously, totoo naman kasi di basehan ang talino mo sa klase pero sa pagiging matalino at madiskarte mo sa totoong buhay. Di naman nirerequire sa buhay natin ang perfect score. Kapag mas madami kang mistakes it doesn't mean loser ka but actually in the end of the day mas madami ka naman natutunan. We can commit mistakes PERO kung mauulit ang same scenario dapat alam na natin ang mga dapat gawin. Dahil sabi nga ng mga nakakatanda di sagot sa isang pagkakamali ang isa pang pagkakamali. But for me, syempre I would like to have good grades mahirap din maghanap ng trabaho these days if di kagandahan ang nakikita sa TOR mo :) kailangan may balance ang buhay. Madiskarte and smart dapat tayo "Tuparin ang mga pangarap. Obligasyon mo yan sa sarili mo. Kung gusto mo mang kumain ng balde-baldeng lupa para malagay ka sa Guinness Book of World Records at maipagmalaki ng bansa natin, sige lang. Nosi balasi. Wag mong pansinin ang sasabihin ng mga taong susubok humarang sa'yo. Kung hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon, hindi pa rin tayo dapat nakatira sa jupiter ngayon. Pero hindi pa rin naman talaga tayo nakatira sa jupiter dahil nga hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon. Kita mo yung moral lesson?" Ang masasabi ko lng... walang pakialamanan ng pangarap sa buhay! Respetuhin ang bawat isa. Take risk! Period. Sabi nga sa ad ng Nike "Just Do It!" We can make difference we just have to trust ourselves and stop listening to what others have to say. "Wag magmadali sa pag-aasawa. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon sa hinaharap, mag-iiba pa ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong di pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang sa kaboses niya si Debbie Gibson o magaling mag-breakdance. Totoong mas importante ang kalooban ng tao higit anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan sa eskwelahan e nagmumukha ring pandesal. Maniwala ka." In short huwag magpalinlang sa ka-gwapuhan at kagandahan lang ng isang tao kung ang ugali ay parang galing sa kailaliman ng impyerno at pag tumanda ang mukha ay para rin namang matigas na tinapay and amoy lupa. hahaha And by the way, don't be in such a hurry to fall in love or get married ienjoy muna ang buhay single. And you know what, one of my ultimate fave line from a song is Jason Mraz' Remedy... "when I fall in love I take my time there's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind"...
"Ayokong nasasanay sa mga bagay na pwede namang wala sa buhay ko."
Cellphones!! ---dami cguro makaka-relate dito. but I guess dami n talagang tao ngayon na can't live without their cellphones or gadgets. Lovelife?!?! sounds familiar ba to many? i smell bitterness.. hahaha Huwag basta maniniwala sa mga taong magsasabi na mamamatay sila kapag nawala ka... ano ka OXYGEN?!?! "Mag-aral maigi. Kung titigil ka sa pag-aaral, manghihinayang ka pagtanda mo dahil hindi mo naranasan ang kakaibang ligayang dulot ng mga araw na walang pasok o suspendido ang klase o absent ang teacher (haaay, sarap!)." WoooohooooO! Special days of every student's lives! one point in our high school/college days ikinaligaya din natin minsan ang pag-absent ni sir at ma'am. bwahaha specially if terror si teacher.
"Obligasyon kong maglayag, karapatan kong pumunta sa kung saan ko gusto, responsibilidad ko ang buhay ko." Ito dapat mga linya natin sa parents if gusto natin maglakwatsa at mag outing kasama mga friends! I love it! magamit mga minsan hahaha  Pero hayyy... i love this one coz pangarap ko tlagang maging isang traveller.
"Hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka." waaaaahaaaa ang sad nito... I pray lahat tayo magkahanap ng "true love" mapa-babae, lalaki, bakla, tomboy at ano pa mang kasarian! para walang babanat ng ganitong linya. "Nalaman kong marami palang libreng lecture sa mundo, ikaw ang gagawa ng syllabus. Maraming teacher sa labas ng eskuwelahan, desisyon mo kung kanino ka magpapaturo. Lahat tayo enrolled ngayon sa isang university, maraming subject na mahirap, pero dahil libre, ikaw ang talo kung nag-drop ka. Isa-isa tayong ga-graduate, iba't-ibang paraan. tanging diploma ay ang mga alaala ng kung ano mang tulong o pagmamahal ang iniwan natin sa mundong pinangarap nating baguhin minsan..."
This is so true, napakaganda ng sinabi niya dito. We can learn a lot even from the strangest person on earth. Ang isa sa mga favorite hobbies ko ay makipag chikahan sa mga matatanda at talagang madami akong natututunan sa kanila, masaya kapag nagkukwento sila ng mga experiences nila noong bata pa sila. And even sa mga kapitbahay, driver sa dyip/taxi/fx, street vendors, waiters, katabi sa sasakyan, pedicab drivers, etc., pwede silang maging teacher mo... Gusto ko ikwento ang isang incident kung saan may isang tao na para siyang naging isang guardian angel and teacher at the same time for me. Few months ago na ito nangyari, papunta ako sa mall para imeet si mother dear at si ate, malapit na ako bumaba may tinulungan akong matandang babae para isakay ang napakalaki niyang bayong, at sa kinasamaang palad ang aking mahal na havaianas ay naipit epal from brazil pa daw at ito ay naputol! (booo! hehe still love my havs anyways) back to my story... bumaba ako dahil malapit na nga and mega hanap ako ng mabibilhan ng tsinelas this time at sa kainitan ng panahon wala akong makitang vendor na mabibilhan! ang Saya. ang hirap maglakad! naisipan ko magtanong sa isang Manong, cigarette/candies/newspaper vendor siya. Sabi ko: "Manong, may alam po ba kayong nabibilhan ng tsinelas? MANONG: wala hija, bakit? AKO: (problemadong mukha) eh... kasi po... naputol yung tsinelas ko... MANONG: (ngumiti) AKO: (sabi ko sa sarili ko... tsk tumawa pa... hayyy..) MANONG: akin na ang tsinelas mo... (ikinabit niya strap ng putol kong tsinelas gamit ang isang pardible) at huwoooow! grabe! ready to use na!!!!!! ang saya! super nag thank you ako at pinilit ko siyang bayaran para sa mng pardibleng ginamit niya. pero ayaw niya! tulong niya na lang daw sa akin yun! hay! ang bait! bumili na nga lang ako ng candies sa kanya! ang nasabi ko talaga sa kanya bago ako umalis "Manong God bless you talaga!". Isa siyang mabait na nilalang dito sa mundo handang tumulong kahit kanino (Angel talaga). AND also a teacher, bakit? kasi tinuruan niya ako ng isang lesson na kahit ano man ang meron ka sa buhay mayaman man o hindi, pwede kang makatulong basta gugustuhin mo lang.
 Today is Earth Day and it is not just a normal day but somehow it should remind us that we should be aware that our earth is dying. I'm not getting any younger and I want to contribute in saving our world. We don't have to be superheroes or the richest person on earth to do something. Simple actions can be a big help this is also for our future children to have a clean environment to live in the future.  Global Warming is drastically changing the planet. It has changed the face of our planet, from melting glaciers to drying up lakes, and it is only getting worse. Let's spread the news about global warming, this will help.
Get educated. Educate yourself about global warming. The more facts you have as to what mainstream science says about it, the more you can persuade others to make simple but effective changes in daily behavior. Energy-saving techniques are either initially expensive (for example, solar power), or take extra time (for example, recycling), so many people need convincing that their efforts matter. Always keep in mind that you are aiming to demonstrate the benefits of these activities and highlight how each person can play a vital role in helping to reduce global warming; equally remember that "[c]ivil society does not respond at all well to moralistic scolding." Use education to enlighten, not frighten.
Recycle more. 15-25% of people don't recycle. Recycle more using recycling bins, composting etc. Encourage neighbors, superintendents, colleagues and businesses to do likewise. Lobby for improved recycling incentives and tougher penalties for using non-renewable where viable alternatives exist. You can be active in this by writing letters, producing blogs and simply conversing with people
Use recycled paper. Make sure your printer paper is 100% post consumer recycled paper. Save 5 lbs. of carbon dioxide per ream of paper. Decide if something is really worth printing out. Leave a signature at the bottom of your e-mails reminding the reader to think twice before printing the e-mail. And make the most of scrap paper for shopping list, notes, scrapbooks, school and college note-taking etc. Only recycle your paper when it has been thoroughly used up! (And don't forget the potential for making origami and other paper crafts.)
Buy locally made and locally grown products. Buy locally to reduce the energy required to transport your goods. The consumable products we all purchase represent over half of the average family's carbon footprint! If you successfully encourage neighbors to do this, store owners will be forced to stock local goods.
Grow fast growing plants. Plants like bamboo grow faster and produce 35% more oxygen than trees like oak or birch, and require less chemicals and care. Make sure that the plants are appropriate for your area; prefer native over introduced species and do not plant problem species.
Take Public Transportation. Taking the bus, the train, the subway or other forms of public transportation lessens the load on the roads and reduces one's individual greenhouse gas emissions (an average of 1600 pounds of GHG emissions per year can be saved). As an added bonus, some new buses are even hybrid already, depending on where you live in the world. Taking public transport removes the stress of long road commutes and gives you a great opportunity to read, think and relax. On some train services, you can even use a computer. You also save on parking money and time wasted looking for parks.
Ride a bicycle. Taking the bike instead of the car is a very simple solution. However, if you experience such problems as lack of suitable bike paths, having to deal with congested traffic or hilly terrain, you are faced with a few challenges. They are, however, challenges that you as an individual can overcome with a little determination.

 Tanong: Guys, meron pa ba kayong mga ways na alam para ma-save natin si Mother Earth that you can share with us?
I need a lot of money to have all of these. This probably the things I would buy if I was the one who got the jackpot price in lotto last week! bwahehe I was in dreaming mode... 1.) Chanel handbags I'm dying to have hehehe, I like the.. este I LOVE the black and red 
2. Christian Louboutin Shoe, this shoes can make anyone feel sexy, glamorous and rich! 
3. Black Balenciaga Hardware Bag, If for the next two years I will be able to go to New York or Canada the first big splurging moment for my salary would be spent on a branded bag. I really love this Balenciaga since it has this "rock chick" style which I really love. But I also want a classic, like a Louis Vuitton Bag (pics below) 
4. Louis Vuitton Bags 
5. Vacheron Constantin Watch, the most ambitious item that I would like to purchase, but if I'm rich enough to buy this million-worth-diamond-studded watch why not, diba? hehehe 
This is by the way a big influence brought by my favorite magazines I knew and learned it all from them and all of the celebrities in Hollywood who keep on wearing and letting me see these beautiful creations hahaha. Blame them - wink!
Its kinda weird that I always feel HAPPY after having a hectic and stressful day or week (take note: eyebags and wrinkles formation), maybe because I'd felt like I accomplished a lot of things or maybe because its a nice feeling that I haven't wasted my time doing nothing.
I'm starting to realize that I'm now excited to work, (seriously) gosh! I'm graduating already and of course very anxious for the coming days, weeks and months! hay, I know life can always be unpredictable.. Real WORLD Here I Come!
I feel so blessed today because yesterday was hell for me! It is because I had a lot of things to do, pass, and finish. I had to take care of our OR/DR cases, clearance and upcoming seminar on Monday. waha! I'm thankful I was able to beat the deadline! OR/DR cases done. clearance done. Seminar na lang! ahaha! The second one was, I was able solve my financial crisis! VERY stressful problem.. haha I know! Because I'm all stressed and burned out by all the deadlines that I have to meet this week. Arrgggh now i'm excited to graduate! it's because that would only mean I'm graduating from being a president.. haha Anyways, I wrote this entry because even if I'm busy and wasn't able to pray as much, just like before.. I'm thankful and happy that God has always been there and forever will be here for me! Had a lot of mistakes but had been very patient with me! I AM BLESSED!

That is the place that must be reached. Only dead fish go with the current. Never confuse a street address for where you actually live. |
