"You are the truth that has been missing in my life"
"When a man found his truth, he would just act like me. Thats why I say I believe in you"
"I just need ur love and I know,even if I give u the whole world I wont be satisfied
because your my world"
"You are my queen my woman and my veverything. If I dont show my love to you to whom would I be showing it?"
"Welcome to my life"
My two cents:
"I could never ask more than u....everything to me is like an answered prayer...sometimes... I am even thinking that Im happy the way that we are right now.
Just having someone to love me, is like completing me...so thats why I say, I can never ask for more....than u..."
" I love u soo much Maj. Lets keep this forever babe. Let us keep the same respect for each other... Let us grow our love more and more each day and let us work to be more than just partners.... I want us to be lovers...for the rest of our lives."

Fiesta! Fiesta!
In line with our team's effort to have a blast in the month of May, the R & R Council (Rewards and Recognition), has come up with the Fiesta Theme Day.
Fiesta is part of the Philippine Culture. It is the official or unofficial observances of religious, national, or cultural significance, often accompanied by celebrations or festivities. Some provinces have their own month for their patron's celebration. But mostly, they are celebrated in the month of May in the our country.
Fiesta is fun! There are games for everyone, young and old. There are also times that they would have Sportsfest (like basketball, volleyball etc.) We also have Santacruzan, where beautiful ladies parade in their most elegant gowns with their ravishing escorts.
Look at how we celebrated Fiesta the Protege style!
From L-R: Raech, Yron, Sherrie, Ash, Lissa, Me, Stephen and Hazel
Lissa, Sherrie and Me portraying the Santacruzan ladies. Aren't we gorgeous? Where are our escorts?
Eto ang nakakasira ng poise! Aheheh!!! One of the common games is this - drinking using 3 straws! Man! What a hassle! Sipsipan to the max!
Me with Valerie as Pluning, ahehehe!!! We're already down to 2 straws but still makes the drinking difficult!
Another game: Paper Dance. Joy as my partner. We won!!!
Look at how Joy held me! Tight kung tight! No wonder why we won this game aheheh!!
Waiting for my turn for the "Putukan mo ako Alex Game". Before me is Lissa.
My turn! No luck.... :-(
Can't wait for R & R's project in June. Protege Pinoy Big Brother. This will be FUN!

Third Kid in my Family
Yup, there is a third kid in our family. I may not have been taking much about her since she doesn't live with us.
Every summer and Christmas are the only two occasions that she gets the chance to visit us. I would pick her up from their house and would let her stay with us in a week of two.
Since summer has arrived, my niece Alych has irritatingly reminded me of picking up her sister. I know I should be the bigger person here, however sometimes I just don't find the time to do so and that's when I begin to be irritated.
Anyway, she is my sister's second child. 10 days after my kid was born, she delivered my second niece. How nice isn't it. Can you imagine having 2 preggies at your own house bumping into each other with our big bellies?
So it's bonding time once again. Time to catch up with the lost time with her, Aleeia.
Look at the crazy faces!

My Son's First Entry
Since my son has been observing me whenever I'm in front of the computer, I guess he has noticed that I do compose thoughts and post those in my blog. Since children has the natural level of curiosity, I bet my child got the idea of creating his own.
Here it is!
Hello there I am ASEJIA I am 9 years old and IM a boy I live in ADELINA (deleted) San Pedro, Laguna BLK (deleted) Lot (deleted). I have one big happy family. I have a mother, her name is DREY she has a great work and she cares for me. I have a cousin her name is Alyssa. We kind of hate each other and we kind a fight and disagree on everything but still she is one of my family. And I have a grand mother her name is Angie. She is my mother’s mom. She always like to go to her friends and she sells toys for kids . And I have a grand father he lives in America and he is nice to us. He gives us everything we need and he is funny. Those are my family . THE END
I intended not to edit and make the necessary corrections. No doubt when he grows old and finds this blog, he would laugh at how he has done this. I hope when he reaches the right age, he would also keep his old blog. :-)
Like mother, like son :-)

The People Have Spoken
A recent survey has been conducted in the team to measure our "Likeness" and "Effectiveness" factors. And the results not only brought a big surprise for me but also a fair dose of reality.
It was announced during our team meeting last Friday morning. After the lunch treat, we were silenced by the announcement of the survey results. This was not really something we were expecting, not anyone. None...
The survey determines your teammates' thought if you are likeable or not. Meaning if you are someone that they can get along with, without any hassles. At the same, it also measures your effectiveness with the tasks that has been assigned to you. This is manifested thru your works in the council.
And then the first category was announced... (only the positive results were given so as not to dishearten other teammates who has received most votes in the negative aspect)
It was me!! *Applaud! Applaud! I was voted as someone they would like to be with if in case he/she will be transferred to another team!!! Being the perky person that I am, I was flattered and I can’t stop myself from jumping! Just like a little kid who just got a present. (Yehey!!!)
Second, I got the runner up. Imagine me jumping up and down again.*Tee hee! Most liked teammate to be his/her seatmate because of your HAPPY aura!
Third, got the most votes as the teammate who is seen to be a good person for motivation (?). This is something I was really surprised with because never have I thought that out of my ordinary ways, out of just being the simple me people see me as someone greater. Am I just being loved? Hmmm... lets see the next set of categories....
Next category, voted as second to be the most wanted partner in a big project. On this part, I remember Valerie who got the highest vote if I'm not mistaken. This is something I am happy also because I know that she is highly qualified and most likely to be competitive as well. Congrats Valerie!
Again, voted next to Rain who got the most votes in the succeeding category; team mates who has demonstrated the CULTURE - the "Office Culture". Culture is actually a big word in our company WB. And this is what makes our company different from any other companies :-).
Next, voted again as the runner up for being a good team player. This was actually when my teammates started realizing what's going on. Ahehehe!!! I'm getting everything. In tagalog, "Pinakyaw mo na naman Drey!"
(At this point, napagod na sila kakapalakpak, ahahahha!!! At ewan ko kung may bahid na ng pagsisisi un iba sa mga sinagot nila sa survey.)
Lastly, is the effectiveness as the head of the council. This is something I know for a fact. Sherrie is the most effective in our council, no doubt! But then again, I was voted to be the second! *** Clap, clap, clap...
Click on image for larger view of the survey results.
Legend: YELLOW = Top in the survey (mostly voted for me)
ORANGE = Runner up (which means of course, next to the TOP)
GRAY = none or 1
Would u believe this? I cannot believe it either. I mean... Tell me I'm bragging but I am just overwhelmed with how people see me at work. These people that I come across with everyday. My second family.
Now tell me, am I loved? :-D

Last Hurrah/Hoorah!!!: Performance Council
How would you like taking in calls and doing your task at the same time?
They may call it multitasking; I call it challenge!
This is what actually makes my job different and productive amongst all the call centers that I have worked with. It is only in this company that I felt that I am more than a customer service representative. That I am more than a front liner of the company, who is expected to assist customers with their issues and concern. That I am more than a representative who just sits down on my station, wear my headset and talk tirelessly most of the day. Tirelessly is not really the correct adjective since it is the opposite. But in this type of job, you would need to pretend that you are perky and sincere even if you are tired.
For the last 8 months, I have been privileged to be in the Performance Council. We call ourselves the Performance Coaches. This is a special group in our team that motivates, influences and strives to bring out the best in our teammates. We handle concerns regarding performance and the first point of contact in terms of any issues in our micro team. We monitor their performance by doing regular coaching sessions and continuously communicate with them for anything that they may be having challenges with. We also launch projects that we believe would help them improve their stats and be able to be recognized for a job well done. This, I think has been the most important part that we play – recognizing teammates and rewarding them for a job well done.
For the last 10 weeks of being in this council, I am proud to say that we’ve always had good scores – based on customers’ point of view. Anyone who works in this BPO industry would understand how important this survey is. I firmly believe that each coach has made an impact on the good results that we been getting. The fruit of our hard work! The Team Leader’s morale and influence has also boosted our performance. Why not? He, who brags about our team scores to the entire company (that’s what we call recognition) and boasts about the fun that we’re having while at work (that’s what we call creating an environment of great place to work). Actually, mahihiya kang hindi magachieve ng target sa stats kase hindi ka makakasama sa listahan!! Aheheh!
As with any beginnings, there must be an end. This is not a sad ending though. By the end the second quarter, we might all be assigned to a new council, with new tasks, new challenges, new "ngarag" moments, new pressures and new set of people to deal with. Did mention dealing with pressures?
With a lot of these new "whatever", we take them as a challenge. Embrace them. This is part of the honing process. We need to expose ourselves in different tasks. To be a Jack of all trade. To be more efficient. To be well-rounded. To be a certified Protege.
This would only be the chance that I can say thank you to the Performance Coaches that I have worked with.
To Sherrie, who has been very effective in all sort of ways. You are the asset in this council. I can not thank you enough for being the pillar of the team.
To Roxee, who has grown up to be more matured with all the challenges in this council. I am very proud of all the improvements that I've seen in you.
To Rain, who has also embraced the task without any doubt and has freely spoken your mind. I appreciate your straightforwardedness. This is not something I have so I admire you for this.
Lastly, to Carol who despite the new environment, didnt falter and has found ways to fit in. Who has also contributed a lot of ideas and sensible comments to make the council productive.
Also would like to thank Rob and Valerie, who used to be Performances Coaches as well and has now been assigned to a more challenging task.
This is not the end but a start of a new beginning. Goodluck to all of us!

My Skywalk Adventure
Are u afraid of heights like me? Have u tried something to overcome this fear? Well, friends... I tried this Skywalk Adventure and guess what... I finished the race!
Skywalk Adventure is in Cebu, on top of the Regency Hotel. It is 126.55 meters high and it is on the edge of the building. How nerve-wracking that could be! Believe me! I dont know how I was able to walk around the building with my knees shaking and my eyes glued in the walk way! Hahahah!! I couldnt even walk without my harness being ahead of me. It should have been a 5-10 minute walk but our batch took 30 minutes to finish it because of me. I was really scared to death! And my boyfriend was teasing me all along. Mean guy!!
As you go along the way, there will be different thrills. On one part, you will be walking in this glass floor and sit for your photos. There is also a part where you will be asked to sit on the ledge. This is the scariest since you will begin to realize how high the building is and that falling will cause your death. Being the chicken sh*t that I am, I sat on the ledge but my feet was not completely hanging. I felt that with just one false move, I might regret trying this adventure.
It has a beautiful scene though. You will see the overwhelming scene of the entire busy city and you will feel the calm of the air. It was like you are on top of the mountain in the center of the city. It is really a must see!
Me and Maj with the Cebu City Hall on the view.
See my feet half hanging, ahahahha!!!
The glass walkway. See we were asked to take a picture in this glass walkway. Its good that I can still smile despite my fear..
Pretending to be brave
Before the walk

Hilarious EJ
Just want to share a video of my friend EJ when we were in Cebu. This was taken on his birthday, April 4. This guy is really funny... and I really miss him!
What more can I say? Even if we live islands apart, we try to keep the friendship that we've shared. We may not see each other but our friendship has been proven by the test of time.
Note: Videoke to pero di ko maintindihan lyrics ni EJ! ahahahah!!! May sariling version si bading!!!

His Words
"I love you more than u said that u love me more than i love u "
"I love you nd thats enough fr me Andrea"
"When I said I love you and thats enough, it means I dont need any thing in this world... only ur love Andrea"
"I will miss u until I see you and when I see you I miss you even more."
"When I am feeling low,you make feel ok and when I am feeling crazy, you calm me"
"The day we made our promises, I am keeping my part"
My words:
"Stay with me tonight babe
hold me close and never let go
even if the dawn breaks,
let us welcome the morning sun
with us wrapped in each other's embrace
and wake up with the seal of kiss of forever from u"
"My heart is like a reservoir of love when i met u...
overflowing with good words and sweet talks...
waiting for the right time and right place to say all my heart's desires"
Mom's Day '09
Among the many sweet thoughts sent to me thru YM and SMS on Mother's day, I have received this simple but very memorable gift from my team. Of course initiated by my TL!
Well, for single moms like me, Mother's day is not a day where her husband and her kids would be taking her out for a treat. Most often than not, its just one of those regular days. Though I remember one time, when I was still working in CVG, I won the Mother's Day picture contest. I won a treat in Vivere but I didn't get the chance to use it for reasons I can no longer recall. But then again, I guess there are just some people who are making a good change on how u see life. And my colleagues are doing great with this. :-)
Anyway, my mom and my dad had a celebration that night. I wasn't able to join them since I have work. Though I should say I miss going out with the entire family. Whew! Sometimes life can be just easy for me.
For my mom, I know I have not been the best daughter that you could wish for. I know a lot of things hinder us from being a good partner. And I know that sometimes we do things that both disappoint us and draw us farther. But let it be known that despite all these, I would not replace you with any mothers in the world.
I saw you suffer for us. I saw u crawl. I saw how u bore the pain emotionally and physically of bringing me and my sis up for the most part of our lives. I heard your cries of hurts of being a father and a mother. I heard your complaints. I heard you wished that things would be easier for us. I felt the longing in your heart to give us what can make us happy. I felt your sadness when you climb up the stage to receive our awards and you were all by your self. I also felt how you could have wished that you could turn back time and made a good decision.
I hope I can be brave as you are. I hope my friends would also call me a survivor for all the things that life has challenged me. I hope that just as you are, I can still smile despite the load that you have in your heart. And I just hope it is not too late for us to make it up for all that you've done and may God help me to make life easy for you.
Me, my Mom Angie and my stepdad Bill

Could it Be?
Gloomy as the weather
I sit still in the edge of the cliff
My sight reaching as far as the eyes can see
Trying hard to envision the almost blur figure
And groping at the slightest warmth of his skin.
Colors of the sky has turned to gray
And my spirits are at low ebb
Almost waiting to complete the darkness
And cover the rest of my existence.
My thoughts give feign impression
To slake the longing of my desire
Picking up all the puzzles
That I have scattered in the field.
Humid is almost high
Drying up...
Suck me, suck my will, suck my dreams...
Reality replaces then the memories
Fading into dimlight and history.
I sit still in the edge of the cliff

Almost waiting to complete the darkness
