So gais, I hope this will not generate another behavioral warning unlike someone I know who sent spam last time –  please… nobody replies to all!

I’m going to miss seeing all of you as much as seeing my incentives roll up in my payslip.

To my supervisors, thank you… Papa Lito, Mamy Maris, ‘Tay Mark and uh.. [insert mom address in the future] R’Love… There has never been a time when I was late yet still is fully madeup and dressed to the nines so you can really tell that I hastily put on clothes just to beat the time considering that it is so unlike me to show up for work underdressed according to Mammy Maris’, “Gihilanat ka geng?” (Do you have a fever?) she said the last time she saw me wearing a tshirt and a pair of jeans which I really have to digress how much pressure it is to appear to work overdressed all the time so Nhemz, cut me some slack. The best be overdressed motto is sometimes taking its toll on your schedule adherence. Did I just say that??

To the pioneering WWTE Care – Sales — team! Haha! I will miss you like hell and until my bangs grow, you will forever be tattooed on my forehead. Let’s not forget to switch back to avail mode after the camera flashes have died down. You are the most unwholesome lot I know I cannot count the number of times nabastos ako. *wink*

outsync me

m starting a new 8am to 5pm schedule this week which means new teammates, a new supervisor, and a new body clock. Crazy, crazy not to mention the traffic at Gorordo Avenue at 7am! I’m seeing normal people I must be hallucinating. And I need to take off the shade on my windows to block out sunlight no more. At the pretext of being in the normal time zone, I will still be forever the nocturnal indulgephile that kowtows to the nightlife, silog meals at 3am and Starbucks at 5am.

There was a farewell party at my teammate Ciara’s house Saturday night and everybody didn’t notice I came late because the men were pretty much hammered and the girls were trying hard to get a last minute attempt to seduce my former supervisor.

Holiday Blush

RED is this year’s Christmas Party theme!The much anticipated christmas party of the office which left everyone clamoring for the perfect RED outfit, red emsemble, red pair of shoes, red bag, ANYTHING WITH A HINT of RED. And because everyone wanted to look the bestest and sooo together of all among the lowlies – some came out ppfft. Haha! What is with all the fuss is beyond me. If you dress up all the time, getting riled up for any party is very ordinary. *coughmecough* But the pressure of living up to people’s expectation is heavvyyy soo… Okay, this is THE parrtyy of PeopleSupport : HOLIDAY BLUSH which everyone wanted to be talked about after … so bring on the cinched belts! the red pumps! The red headbands! The red eyes! **Rolling eyes at this**. By the way, What Dress code?   

I left Body and Soul after getting my hair done at 6pm. I was still talking to my favorite boy Marlon at home before I realized that Oh, I was supposed to get dressed. My favorite stylist O was busy with the rest of the girls and I was already done doing my own ensemble already after he was relieved of his duties lol. No, i wasn’t draped in all red but a baby doll dress with puffed sleeves. Pimp the red outfit? My handbag!  

At eight o’clock Parklane Hotel was already milling with people in every imaginable red outfit. Registration was at the second floor with employees logging in with their ID numbers or they wouldn’t be given food AND beer stubs. Beer! Beer! No cocktails??! Sorry to the people who are not on leave or restdays because beer wouldn’t be served. Hahah. Lots of glamarazzi moments, phots here.

  Since one floor can only accommodate half of PeopleSupport, the third and fourth floor were reserved entirely for the night. Sadly, floors separated the crowd because of that arrangement pfft pfft and not everyone can bond together with the new faces. (Oh my God, I didn’t know that guy works here!) Good thing Gruppo Tribale was present to show the employees a taste of what a real party is like! The rest of the bands developed an attack of the blahs.

We had to conclude at 2am at Starbucks and my friends from Convergys texted that they were heading over to Vudu because their party from Waterfront ended at the same time. I so wanted to go but medrep amazingly followed. Kit eyed him warily if he was drunk and lo, he was. “Feel ko he is forever drunk,” Kit had to say. Feel ko she doesn’t trust the guy driving her, Sheila and of course Zizou home but she had no choice teehee. Nightcap with a sleepover and forget about the goosebumps after hearing the girls tease, boyfriend. Shudder. Shudder.
