just a day to go before new year's eve... waaaaahhhhh! it seems like everything's happening within a blink of an eye... yes i know it sounds exaggerated... but for me, it really felt that fast!
sigh... i really can't believe that the year 2008 just passed me by... literally and figuratively. a lot happened this year... and i really mean A LOT! below is just some of the memorable events i remember...
JANUARY. from being a back up mailbox point person, i became a mailbox officer. mainly because the the previous officers were ramped down and transferred to another program along with the other agents. i was also anticipating new tka (they kiss again) episodes uploaded weekly @ ovestream.net as the sequel had started airing in taiwan the last week of december 2007. going gaga over joe cheng's new hair cut... cuteness!!!
FEBRUARY. still finishing the mailbox backlogs left by the previous officers. in a way getting used to the tasks i've been assigned. lots of overtimes to meet the deadline of the deliverables. and as usual, i'm weekly checking on the newly uploaded TKA episodes online. just getting a lot crazier each week... so crazy over jiang zhishu!!! :)
MARCH. done with the mailbox backlog. mailbox running on a normal mode... but still, there are a lot of mailbox tasks/deliverables to accomplish. TKA is nearing its end, almost 3/4 of the series had been shown by this time. there was even a time when overstream.net was down due to system overload. the server can no longer accommodate the number of users checking/viewing the uploaded episodes. a lot of course was disappointed. INFAIRNESS -- etel libis' site GA was held in eastwood.
APRIL. the new Unused Expired policy was implemented by our HQ (American Express Incentive Services). lesser entries in the ue spreadsheet because lesser cards qualified for replacement. but as expected, there were overflowing complaints received due to the new policy. the last episode of TKA aired the last sunday of this month. i was quite saddened by this. i really wished the sequel had more episodes on it... but there was also a news that it will soon air in ABS dubbed in tagalog. currently crazy over the song "WITH YOU" by chris brown. i also got my braces taken off this month and replaced with retainers.
MAY. rumor was that TKA dubbed in tagalog will be aired by the end of may... but it wasn't. again, another disappointment. i saw the american idol teaser in Q showing david cook's version of always be my baby.. and right after that moment, i was completely under his spell! david cook rocks!!! :D
JUNE. my alma matter's centennial month. UP @ 100 years on June 18, 2008. i started feeling that everything's going on a fastforwarded mode. i started watching OneTreeHill and i was eventually hooked, for the love of chad murray... hehe :D joe cheng celebrated his 26th bday on the 19th. he was rumored to have a new series with barbie xu entitled love or bread. TKA still not aired in ABS. rudy fernandez passed away.
JULY. wu chun and calvin of farenheit visited the philippines for their romantic princess promotion. everybody was going gaga over this two guys.. and i became a fan of wu chun. :) TKA finally aired in ABS. barbie xu taken over by ariel lin in the soap love or bread. the long awaited carletz GA was finally held, again @ dampa in Libis courtesy of tl carlo. my Q2 stats qualified for promotion.. yey!!! :)
AUGUST. jamie (chiqui's daughter) @ 1 month old was baptized and i was one of the godmothers. i finished watching my dalja's spring dvd and i became a fan of lee min ki. i'm still crazy over wu chun.
SEPTEMBER. marked the start of the BER months. my granny passed away. my promotion was released. the UP pep squad were champions for the 2nd time in a row in the UAAP cheerleading competition. i turned 25 by the 29th of the month. melamine scare issue started.
OCTOBER. the scare grew larger. this milk scandal made me so paranoid that i was always checking updates online for lists of melamine positive and melamine negative products. if before i was only checking the expiration date on edible goods i buy, this time i was even checking the ingredients and where the product came from. before the month ended, we were advised that we'll be transferred to another program after we took and passed the exam. there was four of us.. chiqui, ching, jenni and me.. i felt so sad...
NOVEMBER. by the 10th of the month, we were scheduled for training for our new program. unfortunately, 1 had to be left behind as requested by our client. so the other 3 went to training earlier. i had to stay for 2 more weeks for the mailbox tasks transition. i started training only on the 24th alone and it was so frustrating because i cannot seem to understand anything from the lectures.. before this month ended, twilight began airing in cinemas and i watched the movie with a friend on the 30th. and after watching, i was completely under EDWARD CULLEN's spell.. :D
DECEMBER. the first week of this month marked my 2nd week in classroom training. so far, i've been able to cope though most of the times i'm still struggling. i was sick the first weekend and i was not able to attend the program's christmas party on the 7th. we've also started phone lab, where we're already taking in calls.. etel libis' christmas party was held on the 14th at the bmw showroom in libis. rolex also had a christmas party on the 21st at the outback restaurant in libis. i met my high school friends on the 28th for our own christmas party, we stayed overnight at bani's house in francisco and we all had a great time.
that's quite a lot don't you think? and now, we're left with just a day to go before new year's eve..
well i just hope that this new year would bring more blessings and fortune to all of us! a new year... a new beginning.. and hopefully a good start... welcome 2009!!! :)
