Kiss, Mucobron and the Elevator

My life right now has been filled with lots of things. Pressure, new friends at work, new lifestyle and culture, and new people whom I feel are deserving to be considered role models. Let's talk first about Kiss, the woman behind every agent's success in Convergys.

Kiss or Krst'll is one of a kind. If you see her at first, I assure you you'll dislike her to the highest level because of her arrogance, and toxic presence. Yes, she's VERY pretty and smart and she really pisses people with all her "ew" and "stuff like that" and most of the time, she gives rude comments to those who really need to be guided in the right direction. She's an A type person and very perfectionist which makes you feel uncomfortable. But what else do I forget? After all, as days passed, I discovered that she's a very nice person. I know for the fact that she's already offensive sometimes but if you just listen to what she says, "sticks and stones might break my bones but words like shit won't touch my whole." Words after all do not matter. Just believe in yourself and be open to correct your mistakes. This makes her an icon to me at the end of the day. You only meet her in CVG who strives for the company's excellence in the business arena. Go Kiss!

Yes, our training may be full of pressure but here are some things that add spice to my life. The story about Mucobron and the Elevator is only the same. It's just it only happens with different characters which turn the cake upside down. Well, my share about Mucobron started with my health condition at work. I've been sick of cough and flu for 8 days which forced me to visit twice our company clinic to take this tablet. Here's the good thing. Ang cute ni Nurse. Parang Indian na Arabo na Pinoy. Do you see the picture? Hahahaha... We know one of the challenges in this kind of job is to face boredom while repeating routines DAILY! Basically, at least I'm happy God provide me something that puts heat on my shoes and allows me to think why life is very wonderful and is something to live for. (I'll give you more details soonerrr!)

My elevator routine also makes me sick all the time since we're trained at 9th, check in at 11th, and take lunch at 12th floor. The clinic is even located at 11th floor and there are no other options but to ride in the elevator because the building doesn't have stairs. Foul ass. I saw this person and we used to ride together before our shift starts. For the first time, it forced me again to stare like hell and search for identities para ma add sa facebook. Bitch! haha.. That's just the bottomline but you know what, these events bring joy to me and at least encourage me not to think about missing home for as of this moment, I'm already starting to have a home in Cebu.

I am Back in Cebu: After 4 Years


 "Eyeing Cebu, I miss you is not enough"
Dalipuga, Iligan City last June 2009

Twelve hours ago, I was on a plane bound for Cebu City when I realized what's happening to me had been predicted by a friend last June 2009. He told me I can't continue my studies for a reason. He told me I'll be back to the real world of what people should do in order to survive. (Well, it came true).

I was able to recall this moment when my flight became the worst travel I had on air. Strong turbulence. Bad weather in Misamis. God, I really felt my plane would be devoured by the Mother Earth or Neptune. So like what I always do when danger comes in, I prayed and asked forgiveness so hard. (I was so damn afraid, swear).

I am now billeted in Alicia Towers Banilad. And for those people who are not yet aware why I'm here, definitely, I'm back to work as an Associate of Convergys. I took my first journey in this city way back 4 years ago but as a student. My point here is that even if 4 years have already passed, it's still like it only happened two months ago. Time is so fast. I just wish I will still see those people whom I shared a golden moment with and if ever we'll meet, hope they never changed. To me, welcome back and I hope I'll be having a great life here.
