Sure I have to work during the first three days during the holy week but luckily for me, my day-off was on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. My sister and I went to Baguio Cathedral not becuase we want to see the President of the Republic of the Philippines but to go to confession. It is the only church that caters to confession at night. Our parish church does not have confessions on Holy Thursdays.
My sister went there and there was no priest. So we decided to eat dinner at a fast food and stroll a little. When we got back to the church we saw a long line in the confessional booth. The bad thing is, there was only one priest! Anyway, to kill time, my sister and I exchanged stories about which one of us has a morbid sense of humor and about Religion. I'm sure the man behind us was annoyed for us being so noisy in church but was too polite to say so or he just ignored us.
I was able to confess but not my sister and she was so annoyed.
Good Friday was ok. I nearly fell asleep during the seven last words and I have to scracth myself to be awake. But before that we had stations of the cross my mind was thinking of what I have become and where I should be going and what goals to reach. For the past years I never made a definite goal or plans in my life because I never realize them. I planned to be a doctor but ended up in tech support. I planned to be a coach, I wasn't promoted.
But now I guess it's time to start setting goals huh? No wonder I never get anywhere.
Goals in life:
1. Get a job- done that
2. Get promoted- almost there but not quite
3. Get laid- not yet there, but wish was there
4. Get married and have kids- not yet found a man foolish enough to marry me
5. Die- obviously not yet since I'm still alive
Ok, ok, don't take those seriously since I was being sarcastic (again) about my plans in life. I'm still formulating my plans and goals in life along the way.

new coach...awkward situation...resolved
Recently, our old coach was transferred to another department called ABAY (no, not Ebay we're not a shopping site), which is an area where the newly-deployed trainees would be given a certain time period to adjust on the floor. You know to be ready if they get an idiotic customer or an extremely irate one, which made most of the not-so experienced agents cry or contemplate on resigning. So we got a new coach who had been through with so much hell, I wonder why he hasn't died yet.
Anyway, the new coach is ok and very technical. He is a nice guy (even took us out at Nevada Square for a drink after work) and easygoing, not to mentio giving basta 'wag lang abusuhin. Good right?
NOT! During the time at Nevada Square he told us the reason why he didn't want to be deployed in our team. The first reason would be confidential but the second one I don't mind exposing it. After all, this has something to do with me. It is because his ex-girlfriend is one of my friends since high school. So, it is understandable why this is awkward for both me and the new coach.
His ex might think that having me and him in the same office gives her the privelege to use me as their watchdog. No way! I am not a third party software or router that would connect two people who are obviously NOT meant for each other, whose union could mean disaster.
I told my friend to dump him since he's just screwing around but she refuses to do so. I called her martyr and stupid but she still refuses to leave him.
Stupidity or true love?
Anyway, I spoke to him last night and had a talk about that issue and luckily for us, we manage to fix it. He also felt the same way as I did and hated being hounded. After our talk, he instantly spoke to my friend since he came back a few seconds later, he told me that she was sorry.
Good.
Now I can be his subordinate without feeling awkward.

symptoms of falling in-love
For once I am not going to write something bad about the office. It gets boring eventually, making me look like a whiner or sounding like one.
Anyway, just like the rest of the Homo sapien I have feelings even if I try my best to deny that. Well, bursts of temper would count as emotions right? But falling in-love? I'm not sure if I feel that. Except lately.
I thought I experienced that feeling since I first met one of my friend's brothers during my freshman year, but it was just a long-term infatuation. I thought I fell for one of my classmates during my senior year in college yet I backed out since he is taken. We became friends though, which is much better.
Now here I am in my mid-20's, battling not to become obese but got past caring about it and feeling something but not sure if that is love or not. I met him from the moment I stepped into the office. The funny thing is, he was he one who introduced himself first and me, the ever charmless woman, just showed him my name tag since people have a tendency to pronounce my name wrong no matter how I try to corretc them (actually I don't bother).
We kinda hit it off and ended up being the husband and wife of a skit we had to present then. Of course I had to tell myself to stop dreaming and get real.
After that first meeting, we get to meet frequently since we are in the same office though not the same classroom. He is a charming, friendly and reliable man even quiet at times but he is so sweet, which is what is so attractive about him. One flaw I noticed is that he has a tendency to leave people when he sees someone he knows or maybe that's just me. At least he is not an asshole, thank goodness.
He is a handsome and tall man, which is great since I am a tall woman myself. Anyway, being called darling and sweetheart by this man has a way of letting my mind work on its own. In Filipino nadadala ako sa emosyon ko. It took so much self-control not to let my feelings get the better of me.
My feelings are on and off when it comes to him since I rarely see him around. We have different schedules and if we do see each other, it was brief. He always passes by our team's stations and just a hi from him is fine.
But first and foremost we are friends. I gave him a CD of Seal for his birthday and got a hug from him. He asked for when my birthday is and after telling him the date, he said he will keep it in mind. Well, my birthday's over and it's already March. But I don't want to be pushy.
Even if I told Ice that I love him, I'm not sure if I DO love him. Gets? Maybe I should acknowledge it. I am a 'fraidy cat when it comes to love even if I am an irate agent extraordiniare.
But with everything else...I leave it to God.
