Blogging Again

I has been a while folks. I hope everyone is doing great. To all mommies, Happy Mother’s Day!

Year 2017 has been alright. I would not say not perfect but all creases have been ironed-out. Mostly work related issues.  To those you have been following my blog, I mentioned I have transferred to chat from being a voice tech support agent. There was a bit of struggle at the beginning of the year, 2017. It was all about my monthly score.

To call center representatives also known as call center agents, like me.  They know what I am saying here. Passing our annual score is a must, if we want a salary increase. It also helps management to know if the agent is performing. Or, the agent needs help. Worst, if they agent needs to leave the company. I had a bit of struggle for six months, getting not a passing customer survey. Luckily, I made it towards the middle of the year until year end.  Why did I not aim for promotion? Not worth it for a lot of pressure. I would rather retire looking young and healthy.

Family and love life is great I have no complain. They are very supportive. Busy at home on my day off and vacation from work.  It is normal for me to mind my organizing my small space.  I do not want to arrive from work to a topsy turvy home.  I am not a traveller, other than team building activities at work. I do not want to spend money when not needed. I would rather spend money in buying appliances and home maintenance.  I live frugally and in the most practical way. Please do not get me wrong. I am not against travelling.  Go ahead if you need to. I am speaking for myself.

Here I am back to blogging again. Just like saying hello to my blogging buddies and readers.  This blog is still alive. I may not be consistent with my post but  I can assure everyone this blog will stay until such time I can no longer type and run out of ideas.  I will be in touch with more stories.   My pillows are now waiting for me in my bed. 

From Cool to Warm Weather

No more cool weather in Manila, Philippines. Yes, it seems our summertime will come early this year 2013. As oppose to the previous prediction of our weathermen, we are to enjoy cooler temperature until March, it is getting warmer now especially at noontime. At least it is still cooler at night in my place. 

I hope no intense heat come summer time.  This could result to plenty of rainfall during rainy months and possibly cause flooding. I guess I am getting paranoid a bit. I had not been affected by flooding in Manila. I pity those people who are more likely to suffer from weather disturbance. The government funds allotted to fortuitous events could be used for livelihood of Filipinos. In this way, Filipinos could feel the growth in Philippine economy. My appreciation goes to some government officials, businessmen and Filipinos who worked so hard to contribute to this achievement.

Ah, well, que serra serra ... be positive. Life is a challenge. The option to be happy is within us. To my Chinese friends, Chinese bloggers, and to all Filipino Chinese –

Make It Short and Simple

Thursday and Friday are my day off from work. Oh, yes I am back to work for the info of my blogger friends. I will write a separate story on how it happened, soon. I had a chance of reading some blogs.

What caught my attention are blog topics about relationships. A.K.A – Tips and recommendations how relationship would work and last in the days ahead. I read many kinds books about this topic. It seems all of them have same recommendations. Why not simply point out the simple ways how relationship would work? Here are what I have to say. -

1. Be a responsible partner – Relationship is partnership. Be it among family members or among friends.
2. Shun white slavery – Strong words but I simply mean abuse in relationship. You should know when to take control of the situation. Most of those who knew me personally, know I am easy to please. I seldom complain. But when I sense something is amiss. I distance myself or let the other person know, it takes two to tango.
3.  Avoid complicated relationship – Life has so many challenges. You may not be strong enough to handle the pressure.

Friendship at World Wide Web

This blog post is especially dedicated to one of my blogger friends who despite her busy schedule had given me the time and space on her blog. Folks, please feel free to meet Stephanie at this link. -

http://www.bittersweetlife.co.cc/ 

My award says - The Kababayan Award. Kababayan by the way is a Filipino language stating you are from same country. 

Stephanie, I would like to say, much more than thank you for giving me a space in your blog. I am greatly honored for the award. I never thought I could bring sunshine to some of my readers. My blog posts are what I do everyday, my lifestyle, work and anything just to express my feelings. It is a hobby for a while. Now, my blog became my window to the World Wide Web. Likewise to my blogger friends and readers, thank you all, for your continued support.  ♥)

A Matter of Concern

Blogger friends, I am having issues with my internet connection lately Please bear with me if I had slackened visiting your blogs. I would normally visit several blogs coming home from work in the morning. However, lately I had been having difficulties opening some of your blogs. To some, I could view your blog but unable to write comments. The comment portion of the blog would not load fully. I am not sure if it is because of my slow broadband connection, my browser or the website itself. If I am able to write comments to some blogs I am visiting. It takes a while before I could.
.

I thought you are likewise encountering same difficulty visiting my blog. You probably noticed I kept rearranging my blog widgets. I am experimenting on them. I am putting all those that load slowly at the bottom. In this way you could read my post even before the whole page loads. If you are unable to see some of my widgets, it would be helpful to reinstall flash player. You could search for the link by simply typing flash player. My desktop is set of auto update. There is a dialog box that would prompt if I need to update or reinstall an application.

Soon as everything is back to normal expect me as your regular blog visitor again. Thank you for the blog visit and comment. Happy blogging everyone.

Page Error

One of my blogger friends from India advised me she was trying to write a comment on my blog post titled Mall Hopping. However she was unable to see the comment box. I guess some  of you had experienced the same. I am using Mozilla Firefox internet browser and I can view my blog alright. When I was alerted by my blogger friend saying she is unable to post  a comment. I tried browsers Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Apple Safari. It was then I had known the comment portion of my post Mall Hopping and the title of my post Big Breakfast do not appear when I used the browsers other than Mozilla Firefox.

I edited the photos attached to my posts, reduced the pixels even edited the blog posts but to no avail. I received three comments on my Mall Hopping post. I guess these three blogger friends were able to view my blog post alright. I thought it is unusual I received three comments only from my blogger friends. It looks like most of you are unable to view my blog post properly, unless you are using Mozilla Firefox. I took the photo of the missing part of my blog post when I used IE, Chrome and Safari. I really do not know what happened. I hope this error will get fix as soon as possible.

Friends and bloggers, please standby. I will miss your comments if this concern is not fix the soonest time possible. However, the situation is beyond our control. Thank you for your continued support. I apologize for the inconvenience. :(

Few Good Men

Friends and bloggers, I am writing this post with a heavy heart. I am not superstitious person. However, Monday, 23^rd of August is not a good week to start with. Personally I always look forward to the start of the week as a new beginning. I felt so sorry the inevitable unfortunate events took place. In your own living room you must have watched live the hostage taking incident in Manila. I wished it never happened. Yet it did, watched by the whole world while some inept uniformed men struggled to end the tourist hostage frenzy. Where was the boss anyway?

A candle for peace

I normally report for work early, to avoid rush hour traffic jam.  I got lucky I got a ride at once and arrived at least an hour before my log in time. We have two cafeterias at the office and both have television stations broadcasting the incident, live. Most of my officemates were cursing while some were teary eyed. We watched and listened to the panting voices of the radio, television and other media personalities who were eager to have details of the story. I was very much disturbed when I got home at seven in the morning. I cried for the fate of the innocent people who just wanted to have a little enjoyment in life. I cried for the fate of Filipinos.

I do not blame anyone, yet I am a person bruised and wounded emotionally. I pray for forgiveness and understanding from the victims relatives. I abhor, apologized for the strong word to my readers, the ways of coward uniformed men for the settlement of their undue demands. Gentlemen in uniform, like you and most civilian Filipinos we are warriors in whatever ways to uplift each of our lives. By going berserk to reiterate your demands the more you hurt yourself, your families and your countrymen as a whole. Because of the latest incident, we became a laughing stock to the whole world. We have threatened possible investors to our country that would alleviate our economic turmoil.

I challenge you uniformed Filipino gentlemen to go by your sworn duties, to die in dignity for protecting lives of innocent people not protecting your own. I challenge you to pass on the legacy to your descendants with pride the Philippines Flagged wrapped on your lifeless body. What a great honor for a gallant Filipino, is it not? There are only few good men, count yourself in.

Weather Update

Weather in Manila, Philippines is back to normal warm temperature after typhoon Conson. The sunshine brings a smile to many after the storm.

The city folks were stunned by very strong wind last Tuesday night, 13^th of July. The following day however most houses had the electricity service resumed in the early afternoon. The aftermath of the strong typhoon could not be seen much in Manila, compared to those in the nearby provinces.  Badly hit by typhoon was nearby provinces. I felt sorry for those families who lost their loved ones. I pray for their immediate emotional recovery.

I was happy to receive text message to my phone from my American friend from Tennesey. He said he saw in the news about the typhoon. No teasing here folks. The two of us are just friends, okies? Getting defensive? Nope! I just do not want his girl friend to break up with him. By any chance, his real sweetheart reads this post. To my blogger friends from World Wide Web, thank you so much for your concern. You are my treasures. No worries. Your princess was hardly affected by Conson.

Yes, Manila is back to its normal warm weather now. I am glad I have earlier work shift. The schedule helps me to save on sun block lotion. My umbrella though had been a great companion, rain or shine. It is just that, sometimes I get lazy to give it a room inside my shoulder bag.
