Check My AUGUST 20 2009 Post

AUG 20 2009. "i started opening up to humanz."

🤣🤷🏻‍♀️🙈🤦🏻‍♀️

...and my world was a roller coaster ever since.

Ga-fangirl ra jud ko way way way back then. It's my kind of fun. I stopped because I got teased for not being social enough to people im with but i was very interacting so well with netizens. I'd go to the nearest internet cafe ( year 2002 onwards) after school hihi usahay makaingon ko peaceful to ako life ato na time. I was happy. At peace. No dramas, way suya, way chismis, way away, wala ra. and to think, people call up my attention all the time so I had to step out of what im reading or looking at on the net to talk to people. And then when I got used to talking to people that's when I realize they don't like talking diay. They don't wanna be asked how they are, what's up with their lives, who they're out with, and whatnot. They just don't. Unless it's you who they wanna talk to. Everyone's attitude is way confusing. Either they want you around or not or they ignore you for so long and when they are bored that's the time they call you up. Or worst, they only talk to you when they need something from you.

It is not a good habit.

I have to be honest and admit that I fell into that very bad habit. I used to think it is right? But eventually I thought that it is draining. You get exhausted just thinking the role of the person in your life at the same time, people you actually are with having experienced that habit from you would question you. It's a cycle that happens in anyone's circle. And I do not like it.

Over the past years that I have been MIA. It felt like I was in a class. Reality as you call it a Subject. And I keep having very great realizations everyday that is surely going to help me for the next day. And I am still learning everyday.

I have experienced happiness, overwhelmed by everything around me. I felt so much Pain, experienced betrayal. I was judged, mocked, bullied, used, confronted by my attitude, I was embarrassed. I over react, I was questioned, I was named or labeled plastic or coward, not a real friend. Name it. We all get to experience it believe it or not. In any way, we do. And we actually end up, not doing things we used to do because we get so pre occupied by things in our head. We experience delay in everything we do, just cause we are emotionally unstable. And people would say go find a boyfriend or a girlfriend, go somewhere, but you stay where you are and what you are and not move yet. Simply because you are stucked. And it is not a bad thing. And as they say, the common line, ya say it.... It is okay not to be okay. But it gets better and better. You become better in time. And You will heal. I will heal. We all just experience the same things in different times in our lives.

Happy 10 years to my blog!!!

Bantayan Trip (AUG 2016)

Last August 2016, Mear (IG: mear_mewin) and I headed to Bantayan Island to begin our travel plans and ideas. She makes sure everything is set before we go such as transportation details and fare rates, accommodation and the beach sites. I don't have much idea about these things although I am guilty of loving the thought of travelling. Like who wouldn't, right? I just held back from getting technical about these things because it could be really addicting. So, she takes care of them, while I tag along as planned. We both are into bikinis and I love the thought that we really do love channeling our inner mermaids and island girl persona when we're together and and when we're by the beach or on an island. And while I am writing this I really miss being on the beach. I told you, it's addicting.

I love being on the beach. I just have to say that first because it's the first thing that came to my mind after the first sentence. Just so it's very very clear. I miss blogging and I miss travelling so much. I miss taking pictures and telling a story every shot. I miss it so much. I just didn't feel like I have enough to tell anymore. But I've always checked my blog and I wished words came out already so I could begin my stories, well, until now. I'm happy that I am writing right now.

The Bantayan Trip I had with Mear isn't the first time I've been there. I've been there for a couple of times already and it's a new experience every time. I always read this line and I'm reminded by it as I was writing. So, it does feel like that. We went around some beaches and had photoshoots together. She had a GoPro and it's magic every time. Every shot just so good I can't even help it, I think I am getting one. But for now. what I have is a Supermo1. My mother got me one because she knew I wanted to have an action camera and she then sighted the package deal with promo at Globe Communications while she was paying our bill. Haha I have a couple of shot and I am going to post it up soon too. Ah~ this is getting addicting now. And I am starting to post things up again. This is good!

So here are a couple of pictures we got through her GoPro. :) I'm going to update soon, again.

August 2, 2016

What a great feeling it is to actually feel like writing again. I thought about it so many times.

I have a lot in mind right now and what I'd want to do next is make sure I got the right words to say on here when I finally write my thoughts on my blog.

I missed my blog.

I am more content these days. Nothing much has changed.

Everything seems to be better now.

I will be back.

May 6, 2016

I took the time to browse through my journal, the physical journal, and I began writing again. I felt weird at first like I couldn't hold the pen properly because I haven't wrote stuff in there for a long time, or maybe because I had not got used to writing through a pen anymore unless if I wrote a number from our sales.

That was really awkward.

But as I was writing, I also felt the freedom to express. It's like an offline journal. Cos it is an offline journal. I have kept it for so long already. A journal which is almost a decade now and I am still writing on it every time I get the chance to, or when the urge of writing something that has been happening in my life occur.

I mentioned that it's been a long since I wrote there. It's true.

And when I flipped through my last entry, I figured that it was such a sad entry to begin with.

It's about a break up that I experienced with a friend. We've been friends for 2 years but the impact seem to last a lifetime. I considered her actually as my little sister and a bestfriend. But things got a little rough and the friendship really made its bitter end. I sent her my last message via gmail and did not receive a reply so I guess, really, for the nth time. It's over between the two of us.

and im moving on.

My relationship with my family has been stronger also since I thought about not meeting new people so I won’t get any more friends, and so I can guard myself from getting hurt cos apparently no one understands me outside my house. The only person who understands me is my Mother and some cousins and/ or maybe my brother does. It’s given I think? haha And to me, they’re enough. My mother is enough as a company in anything. and my cousins and my brother, and some relatives i think. You know, you have those times when you search for who you are in people, and thought maybe they would understand you because you are on the same grade as they were, you’re workmates, you guys hang out a lot, but actually,. or sometimes, they don’t. It doesn’t apply/ or even happen to a lot of people. I’ve come to a point that I’ve stopped seeing people actually even the friends I’ve made. I just totally stopped seeing them especially when they don’t reach out to me, when it turns out that I was the only one trying to reach out to them- but when I did, they started doing it to me. They reached out to me more than they did before. I don’t know why? hahaha

I'm gonna talk about some websites/ app. I have a couple of accounts online. I got tumblr which is my visual diary http://mkmariakristina.tumblr.com

I got my twitter @ twitter.com/operariomk and instagram @ instagram.com/mkmariakristina. Well, I do have facebook which I think had 1,500 plus friends/ contacts but I trimmed it down to 68, that only includes my family and relatives. 68 People only. I got one friend who freaked out and got mad and blocked me off her account. But she wasn't a real friend. She really wasn't. Damn--- also my other friends were okay with my idea of just using the Messenger as our way of keeping in touch to each other. It's open for everyone.

The reason behind why I decided to cut down contacts is simple. I got tired of just lurking on timelines and not TALKING TO EACH OTHER. So, I decided to cut out people and leave my Messenger on. A CONVERSATION WITH A HUMAN BEING/ A FRIEND/ A FAMILY/ A RELATIVE/ OLD FRIEND/ STRANGER/ ANYONE IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME. SO LET US JUST TALK ON MESSENGER OK?

There. I actually really just felt writing stuff.

That's all for today ;-)

February 2, 2016

There comes a time when you really can't write things in a blog.
Sometimes, I may have the idea on my mind but all I can write are limited lines. Never the kind that share something about something.

I even got to a point where I made another one and neglected one. Did't show the links as if it was hidden. But it's not. It's just there.

the feeling of writing again is almost back. I may write again..

thank God blogger has kept this. Thank God they're still here. my blog is still here...

i am just so thankful for this!!!!!!

i will be writing soon!

Dear Life

Dear life.

I’ve had this on my mind for quite sometime now. And I think I’ve come to a point where I can really fix my mind and finally put it into writing. I think my life has become more organized, serene, peaceful by cutting off people who belittle me. They do that to me without even noticing that they’re doing it. And although I feel alone sometimes, cause literally I am because I am single, but it’s better this way. No gossips, no pressure of night outs, no spending too much on alcohol, fare and time for doing things over and over again like just simply “holding on for tonight” (got this from Sia’s Chandelier) kind of life? So, I guess it wasn’t YOLO kind of thing cause we were like slowly killing our organs inside for drinking almost every other day for two years, for staying up late from partying and shooing our probs away, temporary happiness and for contributing to arguments for almost not going home and for what we thought finding bestfriends and sisters outside our family circle was everything and fun. If you have friends whom you’ve become so close you sometimes forget you have family whose supposed to know every single thing about you. lol we could just be jamming, we weren’t doing significant things with other people anymore. I got stagnant and absurd, and foolish, wild and a pain in the ass. It’s not just me, everybody does become like this at one point and then realizing change has to happen. Thanks to Dear Life it doesn’t make us miserable all the time. We stand up again back on track for what we live for. Our family, some close friends, love, faith and dreams and Our Purpose.

I found a thread that's totally just about networking. I'm still so curious about it.

http://www.istorya.net/forums/business-finance-and-economics-discussions-16/497174-ngano-man-daghan-nag-lagot-sa-networking-business.html

The more i read the negative posts, the more I want to say that hey " networking is a thing" "negative thoughts about it is a thing" "it's job you gotta work on and not depend too much on other people although some will back you up as a starter" But it all boils down to attitude. IF YOU LIKE IT, THEN GET IT. WORK IT. EARN IT.

and finally.. SPEND IT.

do it again...

WORK AND EARN IT

SPEND IT....

anyway, so there.

It's so sad networking has a bad image already here in the Philippines. I used to ignore people doing these stuff because of the notion that I got from observing people who does the job and work on it. I've seen people succeed, earn daily, monthly, yearly, for as long as they chose it as their job because it's legit, instead of applying for a company with a contract and time for work. I have learned that with if you become a "network marketer" you are making yourself your own boss 24/7 where in all these things take place. You own your time, you choose your work time, you feel lazy in the morning you do the work in the afternoon and whatever is right for you. But the products are not yours. They give you a bundle. Something you have to work on. This time not papers with deadlines and stuff, photocopies, uhmmm drafts, research papers. You are not selling your OWN products coz apparently you did not create/ manufacture them. A company did it for you, and all you just gotta do is spread the word and sell them to people who might be interested with them. Take note! Who might be interested. Leave those who do not and get back to them next time,they might wanna get it next time. I didn't like this before, too. But change came, a switch of interest just hit me. US.

So my mom and I, registered as well. That's when we totally understood it. I'm just glad that we found a good company.

We are part of Alliance in Motion, Global.

Hair and Curls

Most of the time when it took us for awhile to write something in our blog we get confused which one to write about especially when our blog is spontaneous and includes all the random things that you can think about it before. Unlike other blogs that only featured all things Fashion, Food, DIY or Photography among others. There are too many things and many categories. My blog just happened to be a random blog. But today I thought about writing about my Hair.

I would have to say that I have been taking care of my hair and I have been so conscious about it. I read magazines a lot and I really like articles about hair and how to take care of it. It's a girl's crown. It's one of the best accessories a woman could ever have.

Today I chose to put up some images I took with my handy phone.

For girls like me who takes care of their hair, GOOD JOB! That's a woman ought to do. Never take your hair for granted. Just don't. OKAY?! haha

So, naturally, I have a long wavy hair. I had it coloured only when I turned 25. I was a late bloomer myself but it is not a competition. It is when you become comfortable deciding things for yourself that make you one. This is risky for some because dying your hair may not always give you a good result. That tube you use may contain harmful contents for your hair and it might just cause damage. Hope it doesn't though. I never wish that to happen. There are girls who have colored hair, actually a lot of them. But don't be pressured by people around you, it happens naturally. It often takes time but you will also know what you like and what you're comfortable of doing.

My friends and I did this one to our hair, sometimes with the help of my friend's sister who volunteered to put the color on our hair. So, yes, dying your hair doesn't necessarily mean going to the salon right away, if you have someone whom you can trust who knows about hair can do it for you. Or if you are more comfortable to have it done in a salon that would still be fine. It's going to save you so much time, more girly time with your girlfriends and your squad. Make sure to arrange schedule so it would be more fun! But for my hair I have not made it done in a salon yet. I had somebody do it for me. Maybe the next time I decide to color it again. hmmmm

I talk so much!!

Here are a few pictures I got. And I must admit that I got addicted to doing massive selfies because I was lovin' my hair everyday because it didn't look the same every single day. Perks of having a wavy hair. It was never in place but it was a good thing #WavyHair

Take a pic of yourself and be comfortable ;-)

VACATION BY G.R.L

Hayooo!!!! HOW WAS YOU VACATION SO FAR???! HAVE YOU HAD FUN ON YOU CHRISTMAS PARTIES AND OTHER EVENTS??!! I SURE DID!!!

I actually going to write something about G.R.L and their songs. They sang Ugly Heart and Vacation, which happens to be my current favorite ;-P

The sad part is that Simone Battle on of the girls in this band died which was really really unexpected. I was shocked I couldn't believe it. :( She has the potential as an artist, singer and dancer. She was a grand finalist on XFactor USA. ONE of the BEST!!!!

Anyway, on the lighter note, VACATION HAS BEEN COVERED BY MANY DANCERS AS WELL.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS I HAVE WATCHED!

Addicted! Addicted!

HELLO THERE!!!

My title is too deceiving! No, I am not talking about DRUGS! I know for a fact that when people say addicting, it can always be associated to DRUGS. But not in my case, ever.

I will be talking random things here from my childhood discoveries that had a great impact on me that even today I am still addicted to it.

My very first addiction was being #REGINIAN. I am and will always be a Solid REGINE VELASQUEZ FAN. YES MA'AM!!!!! I have bought a few CDs of her, magazines, pictures and posters. I still have them and I will never think of throwing them away. I just love the #AsiasSongbird a lot. She topped my list of favorite singers such as Avril Lavigne, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift among others. They're my favorites but I don't have cd of them but I do have magazines of them being on the cover sometimes but not much unlike my huge collection of magazines with Regine on the cover, I will take a snapshot of it and I will edit this entry ;-)

KPOP. Yes a huge fan here and has been a resident Soompier @ www.soompi.com. it is a kpop global fanbase. I've been there for 7 years. I've seen badges and icons coz they do give you badges for your loyalty as a soompier and I felt treasured in a way. THANK YOU!! Please join us!!! It's a fun place to have new friends that has the interests as you not only kpop as you get to know more ;-)

Korean DRAMA. I can say that some girls can be very addicted to KOREAN DRAMA because we love love stories. The first korean drama I have ever watched that lead me to this kind of addiction was #MyNameIsKimSamSoon. And because some substitle groupies had made introduction of themselves through wetpaint in videos and credits and that lead me to soompi.com ;-)

Internet and BLOGGING.

MUSIC

and

TV.

OH I ALSO LOVE SENDING MESSAGES and RANDOM CHITCHATS hahahahah!!!!!!

Do you want some Cornicks? THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ADDICTING!

Saving Tips

I have been thinking about writing something about SAVING. Well this doesn't only apply to money. Saving can be very applicable to almost anything. This piece of blog today will share mostly about what I have done about saving what I can save. It could even save Mother Earth.

When I was a youngster I never had a single piece of a nerve to save. That's true. I have been wasting a lot from money, water, food, even material things, recycled things among others.

Money. I spend way too much! I spend more than I deserve to spend. I have learned to save only recently when I stopped working and started a tiny business. I thought that when I work it will save me financially. In a way, in a weeks time it does but as weeks and weeks go by I always ran out of budget for things that I have written and been wanting to do way back grade school and college. I am one of those people who like to travel but how will I ever get to travel if I would spend my money abnormally :( :( I'm 26 and I have only been to a few places. I want to add some in my list especially that I am still single and still able to do what I may want to do.

As a tip: If you are working, don't think about treating yourself every payday. Treat yourself every month or every two months. It's okay. You don't have to go to every great place in the city. You can go there without thinking about your budget b/c you have more than what you expect. SOMEDAY.

Food. When I was young, I don't consume everything but as I grew older, little by little I do consume everything I order. we cook, or what's on my plate. If I can't because I am too full. I share with a bestfriend.

Material Things. Buy what you need.

Putting it on trash already? Think twice. DON'T MIX NON-BIODEGRADABLE WITH BIODEGRADABLE ONES . . . . . . . PLEASE RECYCLE!!!!!!!!!!

I have learned these things the hard way. It's part of maturity I guess that you get to think that you can still do something on something.. . . ;-)

If You Work in Call Center

How was it like working in a call center?

Let me share my own experience while I got the chance to work in a call center.

Okay... so....

I was a fresh graduate in college then when I applied and started working in a call center. It was one of those ramping seasons when I first applied. Ramping meant companies are going to hire excessively more people to work for them. I was one of them.

I was a walk-in applicant then because I did not want to rely on phone interviews without getting any follow ups. The very first company I tried to apply was Qualfon. I went there around 9 am and got my Initial interview. Commonly, initial interview meant talking about what you have on your resume such as name, school, academic achievements, your work experiences if you have any already prior to your application. An addition to that would be the most striking questions " Why did you choose to work in a call center", " What are you looking forward in 3-5 years from now". Well that only meant staying in the company for good.

The personal question is, " Are you going to stay in the company that long? Or is it just very temporary?"

Before you apply, you need to make sure you have assessed yourself already. You need to assess your capability, English skills, your communication skills, socialization skills, availability, understanding, patience and your determination.

When you speak of capability well it goes with English and communication skills.

Socialization, hmmm for me it's just about how you blend well with your new friends from training and production. You have to blend well or else you'll be tagged as OTHERS. Call center peeps mostly are up for almost anything so you better be ready. But of course if you have obligations and you are the type of person who doesn't really hang out with friends but would rather hang out with family and old friends then that should still be fine. No one forces anyone to be like the rest. You don't have to change who you are.

Availability, most call centers prefer individuals who are readily available once hired. That's it.

Understanding, I know for a fact based on my experience that understand the whole scope of call center jobs or BPO can only be understood once you're there. I can say so much about it. The fun, the hardships and success. I've had it all. But the main scope of the work itself is that you are going to be a full pledged Customer Service. You're going to be giving assistance to people who are troubled with a certain product. Your assistance to them can either be sales, technical or simply inquiry. Got more questions? Let's chat about that EMAIL ME! hahahaha

Patience. I have to be honest, working in a call center is a mixture of fun, hardwork, stress and you have got to have a full bottle of patience. Patience is a virtue and it can lead you far from what you've thought. THAT IS SERIOUS and CERTAIN. BE PATIENT.

Determination. You determination for independence and success, yes you've got to have that. Working in a call center isn't all fun and fun. You've to have the determination to achieve more as it is also a career just as your are working in a bank, in a store, in a law office. You have to be your best version to elevate your position as well.

There I am glad that I was able to put my thoughts into words today hahaha!

That's it for now.

So I guess this is for now ';-)

Thumbs Up for A1 Driving School

I have attended a driving lessons with A1 Driving School, the website is http://www.a-1driving.com. I've always wanted to drive since I was 20, it actually took some years before I could actually enroll for reasons I don't know why. But I have to admit, I was busy with school and other engagements before I enrolled. Lame reason. Hahha! It's true when they say when the need arise, you will really need to learn how to drive. As for my opinion, driving is cool whether it be automatic or manual. I specifically like manual. I like wheels and speed since I was young. Thank God my Mamane finally gave me the budget to enroll to a driving school. I need to drive for our business. I am sure this is for errands, groceries and driving around in the city. I will definitely take the pleasure in driving. I am so excited for it, I am very excited to finally learn it the way it is in real setting as I drive from this day onwards. I should learn it by heart. At the age of 26, I am pretty sure it's never too late for it! :)

For safe driving, I really recommend A1 Driving School. Their staff are very accommodating and respectful. They listen to their clients as well. They're so known and they have garnered many awards for it :)

The photos above are the pictures I took during the last day of my lesson. I had two hours straight. I made it! Yey! I made it and I am so proud! Big big big thanks to Mamane who took care of my fee hahahha!

Tried Burgundy Red by Miss Beauty

This is me inside SM City, Cebu. You won't really see the color that much. It looks light brown inside the mall.

I asked my mom to take another photo of me. Hahah!!!

So I actually took this one on my bus ride to Danao City. Took a Ceres bus so the travel was smooth and safe ;-) #ChasingTheSun #NoFilter. I was just waiting for the sun to show up on my window hhahaha

Here's another picture of me just posing with my red hair. This was taken inside our shop. hahaha! The red hue is still there and I like it ;-)

So, basically it's just a random post again with my new hair. I dyed it around a week ago and I am lovin this color so far. I recommend you to try Miss Beauty. It actually says it's just for professional use but I tried it anyway. Just make sure to constantly treat your hair with conditioner and other organic products made for hair treatment to make it more silky and shiny ;-)
