Why Being a Friend Is Key

Terminus


Who said dating was easy?
Were all here to help you get your love life
back on track!

This post will show you simple rules and tips to date by. Don't let another Feb. 14 go by dateless. With advance planning and
a little encouragement, you'll be well on your way to meeting other eligible singles.

Rule No. 1
A Friend Comes Before a Lover

Who wants a mate who doesn't enjoy the same things you do? Success lies in finding things that bring you together -- not apart. The more you're together learning about each other's likes & dislikes, you're able to set the stage for something meaningful.

Rule No. 2
Don't Let Familiarity
Breed Contempt

The better we know people, the more likely we are to find fault with them. Don't let bitterness come between you and others -- it will only push you further apart. Have new experiences to keep it fresh and moving. That might just mean being a friend first.

Rule No. 3
Listen for Once

It's not always about you. Step back and look beyond your immediate self to learn what makes others tick. You can learn a lot -- open your eyes to something new. And who knows, maybe your friend now becomes something more.

Rule No. 4
Make the First Move

Don't wait for them to reach out to you, make plans to catch up today, whether it's a long lost love or someone cute you met just last week. Don't let your destiny fall in someone else's hands -- pick up the phone now. Maybe something can be rekindled after all.

Rule No. 5
Share the Spotlight

One is a lonely number, but two can be lots of fun. Shifting your vocabulary from ''I'' to ''We'', says you understand the basis of any relationship. This can provide an immediate connection for others who are just starting to learn who you are and 'if' you'll become something more

High Hopes

Well I’m still dead-tired after a two 3-hours/day OT scheme I’m doing. Nice thing about it is that I get to take in more MAC Calls than Windows, which make it worthwhile (windows users are so stubborn while MAC Users are more sensible). Bad thing about this is the volume of calls I’m having for the past 2 weeks. After the Tucson and Albuquerque sites had closed down. Most of the call bulks are being routed here in Manila. You’ll be surprised of how much pressure a newbie would feel handling an average of 40 calls a day and a high of 60 for tenured agents like us.

But hey I don’t really mind that now. OT hours are for the taking. Well it pays so much that I can’t believe how much money I’m going to be making this January alone. Hmmmm. My Salary was not yet adjusted for a month, which means retro-pay. My PA for 7 months will be coming out by the last week of January or first week of Feb. Heheh! What makes it more exciting is the fact that I double checked how much the N80 or N91 cost right now and it is still very feasible for the N80 will tally at around 21-22 while the N91 at 18. I am also planning to get a second white PSP for myself if the phone idea doesn’t really ring a bell.

I am back being single again, and it's kind of nice coz now I know that I really don’t have the time and the drive right now to run a relationship. Were still friends (Sam) and we'll just try again some other time but for now it is going to be I, work and family. Well that’s it for now. I just want to thank everyone for the wonderful 2006 you gave me and I wish everyone all the best this 2007. Hehehe! Happy New Year! Time to go home




Welcome to the Black Parade

by: My Chemical ROmance

When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said,
"Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"
He said
"Will you defeat them, your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have made?"
Because one day I leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade."

When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said,
"Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should go. Through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.
When you're gone we want you all to know We'll Carry on,
We'll Carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on
Carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I cant contain it
The anthem wont explain it.

And we will send you reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Lets shout it loud and clear
Do you fight it to the end
We hear the call to




To carry on
We'll carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on

And on we carry through the fears
Ooh oh ohhhh
Disappointed faces of your peers Ooh oh ohhhh
Take a look at me cause
I could not care at all Do or die
You'll never make me
Cause the world, will never take my heart
You can try, you'll never break me
Want it all,
I'm gonna play this part
Wont explain or say i'm sorry
I'm not ashamed,
I'm gonna show my scar
You're the chair, for all the broken Listen here, because it's only..
I'm just a man,
I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who's meant to sing this song
Just a man,
I'm not a hero
I -- don't -- care
Carry on
We'll carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry
We'll carry on



Happy New Year!

Terminus

Hello Guys!

It’s the Start of the year and what else could I say. I wasn’t able to do a Christmas post and I’m ready to start the year off with a bang well of some sort. Ok lets begin. First of all I just want to greet everyone a very happy New Year.


Feeling very optimistic cause this is my year, (well I know I am as big as a boar) and hope everything goes smoothly. Now with some new plans for the blog. No more tear-jerky and melodramatic post. (I’ll try to switch back and forth form serious and fun stuff). Again time to do features and other write-ups about the different buzz around town. I plan to do my own Metro Manila Expedition and go back to the old-fashioned photo blog that I utilize before. I am also a month away form getting my brand new Nokia Phone (Well N93 or N91) I’ll let you guys decide what phone should I buy (answer my poll ok)… Now lets get down to business.

New Years Resolution…

1.) Financial Rebound and Growth

The last part of the year was really a big financial slump for me. I wasn’t really able to get my bearing. This time must manage my finances in a more productive manner. These include not emptying my salary account and also keep a constant budget on things. I’m going to start laying off on my Magic expenditures and cut off on the food trips and petty dates. A reward scheme for myself will be implemented and I’m going to try keeping personal stuff (A new phone and a secondary gadget should be enough for me this year).

2.) Fashion

For this year I intend to clean up a little bit. I plan to sport a trendier and sharper look for myself. Well I plan to have 2 new pairs (A brown and black business/ formal shoes) by Feb and then invest on at least 2 pairs of dress shirts or round necks). I haven’t bought a new pair of sneakers/rubber shoes last year so I still plan to have one later in the year. Well other things should come up as the weeks go by and well see what progress I could make.

3.) Work


Well as for work my stats seem to drop a notch after my mental instability during the last two months. Starting the year with two sales, a commendation and a revived call taking energy, things are looking beautiful. I managed to find that same grooved that made me excel during the last 6 months of my stay here at E-ETelecare. I plan to get my second promotion by either Feb or March, but that still depends on my Q4 Score Cards. But hopefully everything will still hold. Attendance is also a big factor this time. I’ll try my best to avoid unnecessary absenteeism and stay healthy for as long as possible.

4.) Family Relations


Well I’ve been very secretive about some of my activities and it really affected my family relations. So this time, no more unnecessary secrets and miscommunications with my family. They’ve stayed there the longest and I am very lucky to have them behind me all the time. I think it’s time for me to return the favor. I am very fortunate to have a


5.) Relationship and Love

Sorry got to do more important stuff.

6.) Faith


Well got to step it up when it comes to my religious responsibilities. Got to thank him for everything that comes into my life. For always being there when the going gets tough and always providing me when I really need it. All I wish for is good health for my family, friends and enemies.

Well that’s it for me for this year. If ever there are other things that may contribute to this changes, then I’ll keep you updated ayt! Happy New Year Guys!
