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.

Home Hobby



Whenever I am on day off from work I would slumped on my red couch to watch television for early morning or evening news. Mostly not good news, but at least I am updated with what is happening around Manila, the entire Philippines and other countries as well. 

My television is the first appliance I bought since I started working at the Call Center. I call it call center baby.I still do not have cable as I am still debating what provider to choose.  Well, I guess not a priority for now. It is alright, I have access to international news anyway through internet.

Jolly Princess Is Four Years Old

My blog Jolly Princess @ World Wide celebrated its fourth blog anniversary last Jan 11, 2012. Yes, the birth of this blog was Jan 11, 2008. Since, then until now this had been my window to the World Wide Web.

Jolly Princess is my personal journal. I write whatever I feel I would like to share with my readers. This blog absorbs my feelings. Who says I am alone when I have the World Wide Web to share my thoughts with?  This is the beauty of being a blogger. You communicate and learn to share your feelings with others. Most of all you gain many friends.

Tokens of Friendship


I got these awards from two of my blogger friends. I would like to share these with everyone. Yes, with you all. I do not want to name a few because there are so many of you who are dear to me.  Space may not be enough if I type all your names in here. 


Enjoy photos of different places she visited. Here she is

Laughter is the best medicine. Get to know my adopted son Baby Batman :)

Inspired by the novel pocket books I had been reading, fighting with my insomnia years back. Jolly Princess at World Wide Web was born, to share the ideas of an aspiring writer in me. Blogging helped me fulfilled my dream of being a writer. Oh, well I mean partially fulfilled my dream.

Some says be careful with what you wished for. I do not mind really wishing for something good. Who knows the good fairy might be around and cast her magic wand. If miracles do happen then maybe a magic will do as well.

Kidding aside, what made me attached to the blogging world, without letting up writing are my blogger friends. Since the very day I decided to publish my blog by joining several blog communities. I had enjoyed the warmth of friendship from by blogger friends throughout the World Wide Web.

Few Days of Silence


Hi folks … missed me? Sorry for my silence for the past few days. Quiet frankly when I got home I felt too sleepy and tired. I managed to visit few blogs then would fall asleep in front of my computer. Now, you know another talent from your Jolly Princess. I bet you can not do it, can you? I told you I have multitude of unique talents. Kidding aside, upon reporting for work after my vacation leave I missed several updates. I had to report for work at least half an hour early before my log in time. Stayed for another half hour after I logged out to read all those updates I missed. The updates are within the computer system we are using. Updates are being loaded to a computer program and we retrieve them by logging on to the program. It has username and password. Only authorized persons could access the program.

My computer, phone and headset
The log in to start accepting calls is done through the computer. Our headset is attached to Avaya phone through a removable cord. We key in our username and password to the computer assigned to each one of us to log in. The Avaya phone and the computer have to be in sync to property capture some calls that are recorded for quality assurance purposes. Our computers have screen captures. Anyone monitoring our calls could see where we move the computer mouse by seeing the cursor within the screen. We are barred from logging on to other websites except those websites that are work related. To make sure the barring is strictly followed our technical people disabled some applications that would prevent us from accessing prohibited websites. I am not aware of on how they do it exactly. We have highly trained techs that lavished our clients with much attention when it comes to security.

Our account deals with electricity. From time to time there are updates we need to read and study for the benefits of the customers of our client. Be it updates on company policies or the regulating bodies. These are also the bases used by our quality assurance people. To them ignorance to the rules and policies is no excuse. Whether you got sick of went on vacation leave they demand our full understanding of the knowledge about the account. Difficult you may say? At first, yes it was. However, after being in this line of work for quiet a number of years, I had adapted to these demands. Knowledge is Power after all.

Giant Animals

I noticed most of my friends love animals and flowers. I am fascinated by their blogs showing photos and paintings of these beautiful creatures next to humans, of course. I guess no one would challenge me if I type in here I am more beautiful than any flower on earth. Okay, hold that thoughts folks. No violent reaction please… This is my blog remember? Your Jolly Princess is free to give a little credit to her humble self. Okay… Before I get peppered with comments, I would like to let you know I am likewise an admirer of these lovely creatures. I am mesmerized on how they inspired us and to some extent loved us like that of a Knight to his Princess. Let me share to you my friends at the World Wide Web the photos below. I shared these already in my earlier post but for the benefits of my new friends, here they are… Rolling up curtains!
Giant animals at the mall!


Do not fret they will not bite.:)
These photos were taken from one of the shopping malls I visited. Sorry folks I cannot do better than these photos, unless I go to Manila Zoo. I hope you like them.

Blog Update

I became too busy over the weekend. What made your Jolly Princess busy? I would like to make a formal announcement I made some revisions again in my blog. For those who had been tediously following my blog. I hope in some ways I could make you smile reading my post to commensurate the effort. And hopefully my humble blog would be remembered across the World Wide Web. For the new revision, I added a language translation and widgets for ads. I noticed some of my visitors are from non English speaking countries. Thanks to some blogger friends for the idea of language translation. I apologize for being a copycat, once in a while.

The language translation may not be the exact words in your language. But I guess the essence of my blog will be there. I was laughing when I clicked the translation for the Filipino language. Some of the words are colloquial, they are so funny. Oh, you must have noticed I removed the LinkWithin widget. It did not look good in my blog. I had to take the widget off. Should you want to rock your brain with my previous posts, you may simply click Older Posts at the bottom portion of my blog. Or another way is to go to my Blog Archive.

The idea of adding ads to my site is just another innovation I thought of trying it. I had to subscribe to AdBrite because I was banned by Google AdSense. It was a long story. I had some friends who used to borrow my computer. I showed them my blog. Alas! They thought they could help me earn by clicking my ads using the same computer I used to set up my AdSense. So, you know what happened next. I know AdBrite will still approve my site. I thought there is no harm putting those widgets. I might as well be of help to some bloggers and blog visitors. Who knows?

I had some blog hopping and I noticed most of my blogger friends had updated their design into a more comment friendly template. When I visit a blog I would normally leave a comment and follow the blog. The exception is those blogs insinuating promiscuity. My parents are strict you know. I do not exactly understand why some sites sell those ideas. We could cross the bridge when we get there, after all. I guess this is all for now folks. I will keep you posted for any catastrophic change. Jazzzzzz kidding! Have a lovely blogging days full of smiles! Remember, smiles are for free!

Fun at Sports Fest


T. G. I. F.!  Thanks God, it’s Friday! I am not advertising a restaurant here. That is usually the most- friendly phrase to everyone working from Monday to Friday.

After logging out and taking off my headset at 6:30 AM. I went to see my team captain to sign my evaluation for the month of July. He was discussing with our lady Office Manager the upcoming office sports fest. The event was actually held Sunday, the 8th of August. They invited some people as cheerers to boost the morale of the players at our division. Our Call Center has several accounts. The event is kind of intramural sports fest. Our lady boss advised my team captain I am coming, with a wide grin on her youthful face. I could not say no to my boss. She seldom asked me a favor. I kidded if there is going to be a free lunch. She said our team captain will take charge of our lunch. The lunch was a sumptuous siopao from North Park, a Chinese restaurant. Siopao is steamed rice flour with meat and egg filling inside. It goes with a sauce especially made for sipao.

There were four of us from our team who attended the event including our team captain. We were early birds. The event was held at a sports complex not too far away from our office. It was a pity no award for the early twitters. Our office van driver was tasked to bring the cheerers to the place. There was already a volley ball game going on when we arrived. We kind of snubbed the effort of the players being not our athletes. I know you could guess what we did? What else but took our photos from my didgicam and our cell phones. I do not have permission from my officemates to publish their photos so I am posting mine.  
 Oppps! Hold on to that laugh, okies?

I couldn't shape the balloon like a crown. I guess this will do  for now :)
We were advised to wear something with yellow. Your Jolly Princess wore yellow tight jeans. The yellow balloon was an added accentSorry folks. I did not stay very long. I went home early. I could not tell who won. I was just too tired, clapping and shouting on the cheering competition. It had rained upon getting off the van. I did not bring umbrella. I stopped by a cafƩ closer to the place I live. My favorite blueberry cheese cake tasted so good with a cup of coffee, of course.

Typhoon Hit Manila Philippines


Manila, Philippines was hit by typhoon, Tuesday night, 13th of July international code name Conson. It was signal no. 2 in Manila area but wind was very strong. Some areas in Manila do not have electricity as of yet and no internet connection. The power was shut down to avoid accidents or further accidents. I am glad however that at home, waking up at 3pm  14th of July, Philippines time, our electricity service was back on. My internet connection is also working as if nothing happens.

I was at work last night and hardly felt the strong wind. The building where our office is housed is quite sturdy. I did not even feel what happened in the entire Metropolis. It was in the morning coming home from work when reality bites. Our neighbor advised me she was so scared and could not sleep keeping close watch at their roof that might be blown off. Thanks goodness the roofing was intact sparing them from major repairs. The rain was not that much. It was that wind apparently that was so scary.

At home except from missing cold water to drink everything seemed alright. I missed the electricity for a while. I slept after drying my hair with a hand fan after I had taken my shower. I just turned on my electric fan at its lowest. I woke up at the cool brush of air from my osciliating electric fan. I checked on my internet connection, typed this short post to let you know folks your Jolly Princess is still smiling.

New Blog Template


Surprise! I got a new blog template!

Yup! I did change my blog template because I am having trouble viewing my blog using Internet Explorer. I thought if I update my blog template to one of the new ones recommended by blogspot.com. I would be able to view my blog just like I used too with IE. To my dismay, my expectation did not happen. Since my previous template was on old one. I was unable to go back to it anymore. If you had been visiting my blog, this used to be how it looked. 
 
Well, I would say not bad for the update I did. I chose the simple template for me to be able to design my blog.  Pink is not actually one of my favorite colors but it denotes being young. Being a princess, I chose the color. My favorite colors are red, black and gold, extreme right? I like other colors of course and I can match colors to create a design. You got it!  I like every flower that grows on planet earth. However, roses and orchids are my favorites. It is not easy to design a blog. The thing is. I had to allot a certain time to do it. I love designing my own blog. I want my blog to look happy.  I am Jolly Princess after all. 

I had great time putting all together all the gadgets to make my blog looked this way. It was a bit tiring though. Yet it was worth it, when I see the end result. I mentioned about my internet browser. I am using Mozilla Firefox this time. I am not sure what will work for you. For me, my internet connection is faster when I used Firefox. I can view my blog in the manner I want it. I still use IE on other Websites, though. So I have two browsers I used alternately. I guess maybe there is something I need to do with IE. My busy brain has not figured it out yet for now.
 Thanks Josh Peterson!
I hope I made you happy with the blog template you designed.

My blog list. What they are blogging about. ♥
