Taray Queen

Yesterday sa mall., I saw a familiar face sa pila ng Pizza hut. She looked familiar kasi siya ay isang team leader sa callcenter na pinagtratrabahuhan ko noon. And never ko siya naging team leader but her team is always number 1 sa floor.

I  greeted her and she said "Hi: din to me. Then yung service crew na lalake ng pizzahut was doing his own thing. Chinicheck niya ang pera at receipts niya for  like 3 minutes and di niya tinitingnan si TL or he didn't even asked kung ano oorderin ni TL. So nagsalita na si TL sabi niya "kuya isang bacon and cheese pizza".

Hindi kumibo si service crew at patuloy pa rin sa ginagawa niya. At after a few minutes sabi ni kuya "Wait lang ma'am ha"

Tumaas ang kilay ni TL then she raised her voice "CAN I SPEAK TO YOUR SUPERVISOR"!!!

Service crew: Ma'am sorry busy po siya

TL: I won't accept any excuses!! I want to talk to your supervisor NOW! Or baka gusto mo ako pa mismo lumapit sa manager mo!!!

Service crew: Okay ma'am, tatawagin ko po ang manager ko


Manager: Good evening ma'am.

TL: I have been waiting for like 5 minutes here sa pila and your service crew is ignoring me!! He didn't asked for my order.  Anong klaseng customer service meron kayo!! At anong klaseng training ang bininigay niyo sa employees niyo!!! Do you have a customer survey!! coz if I'm gonna answer it.. Walang duda zero ang score niyo!! YOU should train your employees to serve their customers well.

Manager: Sorry Ma'am

TL: Next time!! ayoko na maulit eto

Naisip ko tuloy grabe si TL dinala ang pagka TL niya sa situation at mukhang siya pa ang manager hehehehe. Pero sa totoo lang may kasalanan din naman ang service crew kasi di niya kinuha ang order agad  at kahit pati ako nainis din sa kaiintay.

Siguro nakasanayan na namin sa training namin noon sa callcenter ang good customer service skills. Kasi masyado obsessed ang callcenters sa customer satisfaction at customer surveys. And knowing sa pinas our customer service sucks compare mo sa american customer service,  lalo na sa government offices. And ako kahit naiinis sa restaurant or foodcourt never ako magtataray kasi baka duraan ang kakainin kung food mahirap na.

Friendship

Kahapon while working out sa gym nagpunta ako sa banyo para umihi. Then medyo nagulat ako sa nakita ko kasi may dalawang big muscular guys na nakaholding hands at noong nakita nila ako. Inalis na nila ang kamay ng isa't isa at biglang umalis sa CR.  Those 2 muscular guys na yun ay madalas ko makita sa gym at lagi magkasama ang dalawang yun. Mukhang mga mid-30's or early 40's na ang edad ng dalawang muscular guy.

Di halatang bading yung dalawa. Pero hmm bading nga kaya talaga sila? Kasi its unusual for 2 guy friends to hold hands. I mean okay lang yun sa magkaibigang babae na magholding hands or minsan maghug pero not for men.


Naalala ko rin noon while I was working sa call center. I had a customer na ang email niya ay combination ng name niya at ng guy friend niya. For example adamandsteve@yahoo.com. And he called kasi gusto niyang gawing benificiary ang BFF niya. And di sila related kasi iba ang family name nila. Hmm siguro lovers nga ang dalawa hahahhaha

Superheroes on film and television

 I'm a big fan of Superheroes. In fact I have a collection of Superhero action figure. Kasi noong bata ako ayaw ako ibili ng nanay ko ng lauran kasi mahal daw. So ngayon may pera na ko eh bumibili na ako ng superhero action figures. Meron din ako ng collection ng DVDs ng superheroes.

And I'm really excited sa upcoming superhero movies and tv na ipapalabas this year (except Spiderman)



1) SPIDERMAN (2012) Andrew Garfield as the new Spider-man, I don't like his costume and masok pa rin si Tobey Maguire



2) GREEN LANTERN

Can't wait for this movie. Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern (June 17, 2011). It's about time na magkaroon ng movie ang ibang DC characters besides Superman and Batman. Kasi sa totoo lang talo ng Marvel ang DC kasi halos lahat ng Marvel characters may movie version.








3) X-MEN FIRST CLASS

Too bad wala ang pinakapopular na X-men characters like Wolverine, Cyclops, Rogue, Storm, Jean Grey, Gambit etc. Pero papanoorin ko pa rin to. (June 3, 2011), Prequel kasi siya kaya di siguro naisama ang sikat na X-men characters.

Jennifer Lawrence -Raven Darkholme / Mystique
Michael Fassbender- Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto
January Jones- Emma Frost
James McAvoy- Professor Charles Xavier
Nicholas Hoult- Hank McCoy / Beast



4) THOR
Never been a fan of Thor. Pero panoorin ko pa rin siya (May 6, 2011)






 5) CAPTAIN AMERICA: The First Avenger (July 22, 2011)
   Chris Evans as Captain America

I noticed that Chris had his chest hair removed and his bulkier than before. I hope this movie will be much better than the 1990 movie.




6) WONDER WOMAN (TV) NBC
Adrianne Palicki as Diana/Wonder Woman

Masmaganda pa rin siempre ang original Wonder Woman na si Lynda Carter. And I don't like the new costume kasi di siya  nakapanty hahahaha...



7) CAPTAIN BARBELL (TV) GMA 7
And of course our very own, Personally sana this time tong Captain Barbell will be much better than the last one,. Coz the last Capt Barbell show sucks!!!! kasi copycat ng Smallville. And sana naghanap sila ng ibang actor coz Richard can't act!! Sa hosting lang bagay si Richard






8) WANNABE superheroes! LOL!
 NO comment hahahahaha

Top 5 weird things about Milch




1) I love to smell yung nagamit na damit  lalo na sa mga ex-girlfriend ko noon,  pati yung kama niya gusto ko amoyin lalo na yung unan. Noong araw natempt din ako nakawin yung damit na gamit na niya na nakalagay sa laundry basket. Pero di ko nagawa kasi di naman ako magnanakaw. Hmmm well at least damit lang inaamoy ko,  at di panty kasi mahirap na baka may regla hahahhaha. In short kung may love ako na tao gustong gusto ko amoyin ang scent nila sa unan man nila or damit. (yeah I know para akong aso)



2) Everytime I had sex with someone I pray first and pray act of contrition kasi alam ko nagkakasala na ko




3) I'm a neat freak I can't stand yung madumi lalo na sa house. Gusto ko paligid ko malinis lagi.  (Please watch the video above. kasi ganyang ganyan ako hahahaha)





4) Everytime I go shopping sa mall. I prefer to be alone at ayoko ng may kasama. Actually sometimes,   I’m kind of a loner.  I interact with other people on a regular basis and have plenty of friends. But, I always feel a sort of peace when I’m having my “own time.” Sure, everybody enjoys some alone time now and again, but I think sometimes I like it a little too much.




5) I love to collect and wear different types and brands of underwear.

Girl Power



Today (March 8)  women all around the world celebrate "International Women's day"

Did you know that most feminist today hates the Disney princess characters?

Most feminist said that old fairy tales are anti-feminism coz most of the female characters  would just look for a prince/man to solve their  problems, then marry the prince then  live happily ever after. Some feminist said that the Disney princess are a bad influence to young girls. And young girls should make Wonder Woman, Lara Croft, Power puff girls etc. as their role models coz these women don't need men and they are independent, strong and beautiful.


Feminists points of view:
http://www.quora.com/Which-Disney-Princess-best-embodies-feminist-principles-and-why


http://www.bukisa.com/articles/191842_bad-lessons-from-cinderella-story

 I think I have to agree with these articles coz fairy tales are not applicable today to women today. But some feminist sounds like they hate men. I also believe that at this time it's really a womans world and its not a man's world anymore. Kasi sa totoo lang masmaraming trabaho sa mga babae than sa mga lalake. Like sa banks, gov't offices etc. mostly babae empleyado and maraming babae ngayon ang may mataas na position sa company.


 Speaking of  female empowerment here are the top 4 most popular feminist icon:

1) WONDER WOMAN

The first widely recognizable female superhero. She was created by psychologist William Moulton Marston with help and inspiration from his wife Elizabeth and their mutual lover Olive Byrne. I'm suprised  that Marston lived with his wife and mistress and they lived under one roof and he  had children with both women. Wonder Woman will be back on television soon. And the new Wonder Woman is Adrianne Palicki



 2) LARA CROFT
The most popular female videogame character of all time! She was created by Toby Gard. Croft also scooped awards for the Guinness book of world records as the most recognizable female in a video game; most detailed game character; most real-life stand-ins; highest grossing game spin-off and most successful live-action transfer.


To all  Tomb Raider fans I want to share something. This is a unofficial hacking tool in where you can play Lara Croft NUDE. This applies to both Tomb Raider Anniversary and Tomb Raider Underworld

Check these websites:

http://tomb-raider-anniversary.com/tomb-raider-anniversary-cheats/nude_patch/

 http://actualgameplay.com/tag/lara-croft-naked/


3) X-MEN Ladies

If DC comics have Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Batgirl. Then Marvel has the X-men ladies like Jean Grey, Storm, Rogue, Shadowcat, Emma Frost etc.


 4) DARNA
 And of course our very own. Darna created by  Mars Ravelo. Darna is more popular than Captain Barbell unlike in the United States coz Superman and Batman is more popular than Wonder Woman. There is a total of 15 Darna movies produced, that's much more than any other American comicbook hero can claim.


=============



I also want to share something its a straight japanese porn. And kakaiba siya coz this time ang babae mismo ang nagmomolest sa lalaki. At yung mga lalaki ang maingay sa pagungol at may kasamang  paiyak iyak pa.  This porn also shows female empowerment

Nagkaroon  ng survey noon and the question  for men was "Do you want to be raped by a woman" and most male respondents answered YES!!!

Pisssed OFF!!



My friend is working in a call center. She filed her for a vacation leave 2 weeks ago, because her cousin is getting married sa Boracay. So excited na excited si friend, in fact kasama ko nga siya sa pagbili ng mga damit  na isusuot niya sa boracay at  wedding gift niya for her cousin. Nagpasukat na rin siya para sa gown  na susuotin niya sa wedding ng cousin niya. Kasi siya ang  maid of  honor sa kasal. Her cousin is getting married na  this coming  Monday.

Yesterday she texted me and she was really pissed off.. Sabi niya her vacation leave is canceled because queuing sa dami ng calls. And lahat na nagfile ng vacation leave for this month eh canceled  so di lang siya nagiisa. Plus, may forced overtime pa sila ng additional 2 hours after ng shift nila. Kasi nga sa dami ng calls.And this will last for a month kasi this month eh maraming calls.

To add insult to injury, pinagbawalan din sila magabsent sa month na to. At pwede sila magabsent pagnaospital lang sila. And if ever magabsent sila na walang medical ceritficate eh automatic terminated sila.

When I received her text natawa ako ng sobraa. imbes na maawa ako kay friend eh natawa ako. Coz the same thing happened to me when I was working in a callcenter before. Nagcancel din sila ng vacation leave ng mga agents nila and because of that nagkaroon ng massive resignation. I can still remember noong inannounce yung pagcancel sa vacation leave ng agents eh marami nagdabog sa mga agents. Yung iba sinipa yung pinto at iba binato ang headset sa floor. Ako I can control my anger unlike sa ibang agents. Pero naisip ko baka si friend eh baka nagwala din sa office nila. Coz my friend has a short temper. bwahahahahaha

Anyway since napagusapan na rin ang callcenter eh irerepost ko ang isang essay about callcenter life:
Medyo mahaba siya pero worth it naman basahin



===============================
 CALL CENTER LIFE

To my great shock and horror, I have been employed at a call center. Every evening the sense of dread that envelops me is overwhelming, and I am not sure how I have managed to muster up the strength to show up every day. Every day when I'm off to work I have to fight the urge not to turn right back around, go back home, and go to bed. I've done that a couple of times and it was great, except for the grief I got the next day due to the strict and impossible attendance guidelines.


Every day while sitting in my itty bitty cubicle I dream about making a run for it.
Call center work is demeaning and soul sucking. I feel a little piece of me dying every day. Being literally tied to a headset for 8 hours a day is hell. I am yelled at constantly by people and by the end of the day I have been called every nasty name in the book.

Being tied to a desk by a headset, having to deal with the rudest and most arrogant human beings in the world

My supervisor says this is just something everyone has to get used to and that I need to develop a tougher skin. I don't want a tougher skin, and I am sick of this place telling me who I need to be and how I need to think. The supervisors don't care anyway. All they care about is average handle time and how high your scores are on the calls that were monitored.

I'm not sure what keeps me going back every day. The health benefits are great, but you can never get the time off approved to actually go to the doctor. Maybe I secretly enjoy being tortured every day, who knows.

I have not made any friends. I choose to call then acquaintances. If you get to close you will become one of then. The seasoned agents here all are bitter, angry men and women. You can even smell the whiskey on the breath of some of them. I do feel myself slowly becoming more like them though, angry all the time, too wiped out at the end of day to enjoy my life. Why am i still here. I used to be happy. Life is too short to be miserable.


Call Centers, ugh, they are a necessary evil, however I have stories to tell you about call centers.. The horrors are all true. Not being allowed to go to the bathroom, no breaks, except for the 30 minute lunch where you wolf down your food, then right back at it for the next 4 hours or so. Not getting up from your cubicle for coffee, water, or soda.
Your thirsty? Forget about it, don't dare go and get a drink. Your in jail now so deal with it.

No snacking in your booth, even if you are diabetic and need it. I am not kidding here people. This is all true! You are basically chained to your booth through your headset. There are no sick days, there are no excuses for anything! They don't care if your child is sick or if you are sick. They don't care about anything except you making or taking that next call. Calls are money, and most call centers have automated dialers that continually dial. You barely get to breath before you are talking again.


. I don't even like having to constantly talk all day-there's hardly anything left of my voice by the time I'm done. I can forget about ever making it as a singer if I keep this up.


Working in a call center is simple, go to hell and take a right. You are locked in a cubicle and that is suppose to be your life. The pressures that are put on you on are not about your job. I did my job, I did my job well. They are about control! Control! Control is all that seems to be their game.
You are constantly stressed, dealing with a never ending stream of calls, unable to pause to think. Most of the people who speak to you are angry, impatient or upset. You are blamed for everything: the time people spend in the call queue, the problems they had with your service, the lack of assistance you can give them. Since I had no real power, all I could do was apologize and promise to pass it on to the right department - not what a customer wants to hear after they've spent six months trying to sort something out, and being ferried from one department to another

As a call center worker, we have absolutely no respect! We are even less than the common household pet. There are no laws to help us, no unions want to step in and make it better. Why? Most people who work in call centers are poor, undergraduate, single parents, older people ages 30 and up.. So companies feel that they can easily manipulate us into thinking that we will have nothing else if it weren't for this great job. I have never felt more humililated than when I worked in a call center. . I was so beat down mentally, that I felt I was not good enough to work anywhere else. The way that they treat you completely strips you of any dignity or self esteem.

I will not name the company or companies that I have worked for, but trust me when I tell you, they constantly treat their employees like mud

In reality, I hate working in a call centre. Unfortunately, there are limited options for employment near where I live, as I choose to live in the province. This is just the thing I need! For some unknown reason getting up on a Monday is harder than any other day of the week; I guess that everyone feels the same and that is why everyone is running a little later and that is why the traffic is a little heavier than usual.

I would often be humiliated by superiors in front of others in the call center for taking too long in the bathroom. Can you imagine being a 20 plus something adult and being required to raise our hand to ask permission to go to the bathroom? God forbid if someone else was already in the bathroom, you had to wait your turn which often would be a half hour or longer. A lot of the time, I was asked to wait for the lunch break which would often be over an hour away!


I would always have to go to work deathly ill with the flu or cold because I had no vacation time to cover my illness. Then if I would accidently sneeze or cough while in a call and Quality Control heard it, I would get a bad qc (quality control) rating. Yet I was not allowed to stay home to recover. Then if while sick, your production percentage fell, you would be wrote up for bad production and put on probation. Simply, you were no longer allowed to be human while working there. You were nothing more than a robot who was not allowed to get sick, not allowed to have bodily functions, not allowed to cough, sneeze, or yawn. Not allowed to talk to co-workers sitting beside you, not allowed to be one minute late or you were docked for 15 minutes. If you were standing in line to clock in which sometimes seemed like an eternity, if that clocked clicked onto 9:01am, you were immediately docked 15 minutes. To make matters worse, you were expected to clock in 5 minutes early to prepare for the days work, yet you could not log out of your computer until exactly 5pm or you were docked and wrote up. None of this even begins to point out the other horrors of the job.


The actual calls and the way you are treated on the phones. We are cursed at, threatened, reported and other horrible things. We are not allowed to respond in anyway, we are not allowed to hang up, we are expected to just sit there and be verbally abused no matter what they are saying. If we were to respond in anyway or hang up, pay is docked, your job is threatened, and you are then abused in the call center by your superiors for a length of time.

The joke going around at work. Why do call center agents die early? Because they want to. So why do I do it. Why do I get up every morning and drag myself to one of worst working environments I have ever had the misfortune to experience? Because at the end of the day, I walk out of my cell with a feeling that I am not the dumbest, most incompetent, worthless person in the world. It's a good feeling.




As a call center employee, you are always treated as though you are their property, never a human being. There did come a time when I decided that I was better than that, and the mental anguish was no longer worth the paycheck. I quit!

In closing, to those who are on the other end of the phone call. When a telemarketer calls you. Or if you decided to call customer service. No matter how irritated you are by the call, please try to be somewhat respectful. Please remember that is a human being on the other end just doing what they are told. That is a human being on the other end who is probably poor and desperately needs this job to live and raise their family. Please try to keep that in mind.

If you relish your freedom and enjoy having control over the path your day takes, then I advise you to never accept a job in a call center.

Class reunion



Its my first time to attend my class reunion. Kasi dati di ako nagaatend ng class reunion. Of course gusto ko na magpakita sa mga dati kong classmates noong highschool,  kasi siempre I look better na right now dahil sa pagygym.And I want them to see me na still looking good at my age. Kasi yung iba kung classmates eh nagtabaan na at mukha ng mga matatanda. Yung isang female classmate na crush ko noon eh nawala yung ganda niya at ang taba taba na niya like sharon cuneta. Pero i also have this one female classmate na masgumanda ngayon than before kasi noong araw tinutukso siyang negra. Pero ngayon ganda na niya kahit maitim pa rin siya.


Buti na lang at di lang ako nagiisang single sa class namin. Kasi sa hirap ba naman ng buhay ngayon eh mahirap makapamilya. Usually mga guys lang ang single at masmaraming girls ang married.
Yung isang pinakaclose ko na classmate nagsuggest na magtayo kami ng sarili naming club. And it will be called the single men's club. So ang plano eh we will go on group dates.  Naiingit na kasi ako sa ibang bloggers eh may love sila ngayon.
