QLC as per Kalye Kwatro

QLC : Quarter Life Crisis...




Just happened to hop by this blogspot this day when i was bored doing nothing this day in the office. I have to say I was really amazed by the thought that I am currently going through that stage.

I was thinking that I am just not successful enough with my everything (except for my wonderful baby and understanding wife of course) most especially when it comes to my career. I always compare myself to my tropas since they are all enjoying their jobs, getting all their wants by now (material things to be exact) but me, just enjoying my ok-na-rin sweldo. They have time to travel. but me?... just stucked up being here having no time to explore the world... They still have the time in the world to do whatever they want, unlike me being stagnant doing my job in the office and a little time at home.

Kalye kwatro, repa, you are right to say not to compare your self to others because I ended up feeling pity for myself.

Why the hell do I need to feel this? to undergo this crisis?

I was thinking that this is just nothing but after knowing this QLC, I ended up aiming a better future now and not minding those hindrances around me...

I know that blog entry I read was really meant for me to know that I still have the power in me that I haven't released yet. So now, I will start a new ME.

I CAN MAKE IT TO THE TOP! I knew it...

Kalye Kwatro, If you will ever read this (if ever), KUDOS to you! Keep it up dude and thanks... I know I can reach the top of this mountain as I dreamed of. I just need to persevere to achieve and meet my goals...

Fast Car

love this song... I remember my highschool days whenever i hear this.

I posted the lyrics of it together with Music Video of Tracy Chapman



You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I've been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And fin'lly see what it means to be living

See my old man's got a problem
He lives with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his bodys too old for working
I say his bodys too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebodys got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

I remember we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

I remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

JobsTreat (ment)

ano b naman? Kelangan ba talaga magtrabaho? Marami sasagot sa tanong na yan ng... "para kumita", "para mabuhay", "para sa pamilya"... Oo nga naman. Alam ko rin naman yan kaya nga kahit ang hirap hirap magtrabaho bukod pa sa nakakapagod mentally at emotionally eh tuloy pa rin tayo sa pagtatrabaho. Di lang nmn mga nasa Work Force ang maituturing na nagtatrabaho kundi pati mga studyante. Bakit ko nga ba naisipan itong idea na to? Kase merong isang nangyari sa office na talagang naging reason para mapaisip ako ng... empleyado ba tayo o alila?

It all started ng dumating ako sa office. nag log in sa PC, nagtimpla ng coffee habang naghihintay mag full start ung jurassic na PC dahil sa tagal mag boot up. Nagsidatingan ung mga office mates ko. Kwentuhan ng konti bago nag concentrate sa pagpindot sa KB ng PC.

After an hour, yung isa ko officemate (itago na lang naten sa pangalang Jovs) nag break. Tapos yung anak ng Diyos na supervisor namen, lumapit sa seatmate ko. medyo mataas ang boses.

Sup : Anne?! anong nangyari dito sa Queue? baket d pa natatapos yung mga due nung isang araw? Bat nauna pa maubos yung kahapon pati yung mga bagong dating ngayon?!!!

Anne : Di muna namen ginawa as per instruction kc unahin daw namen yung mga pumasok kahapon pati ngayon.

Sup : Sinong tanga ang nag instruct nyan senyo?! ha?!

Anne : C Jovs!

Sup : C Jovs?! Bakit ininstruct nya yun eh kelangan nga naten tapusin yung mga naunang pumasok! Nasan si Jovs? lagpas 30 minutes na yang naka break ah.

Tumawag c sup sa guard...

Sup : Manong, lumabas ba c Jovs?!

Guard : Ma'am hindi po...

Ibinaba ni sup ang telepono ng padabog. Sakto dumating c Jovs...

Sup : Jovs san ka galing over break ka na ah!!!

Jovs : Boss jumebs ako sa CR.

Sup : Bat d ka nagpaalam!

Jovs : Di ko na kase mapigilan...

Sup : naka log in ka tapos kung san san ka pumupunta. You should be productive kpg naka log in ka...

Jovs : Sorry na boss...

Sup : Sino nag instruct sau na unahin tapusin yung mga queue na pumasok kahapon saka ngayon at itengga yung mga mas nauna? This is a big stupidity Jovs... I'm trusting that you would do what is right kase ikaw L3 (level3) hindi yung tuturuan mo ng mga katangahan yang mga kasama mo! In-email ako ng boss ko tinatanong what happened...

Jovs : kase boss mga me problema yung mga yun kaya hindi muna namen ginalaw. Asan yung email. pabasa nga po...

Sup : why will you read my email? it's personal! and it's really humiliating Jov's... (sabay taktak ng mouse ng ilang beses tipong mababasag na sa ilang taktak pa...)

Jovs : boss why are you shouting? I can hear you... No need to shout!

Sup : I'm not shouting, I'm just explaining...

(expalining yun pero rinig na rinig ng buong floor sa lakad ng pag sabon nya ke jovs...) Umiyak si jovs habang pinapagalitan pa rin... Tapos inakap cya ni Sup sa bay sabi sa mahinahong paraan...

Sup : Jovs, we need this sometimes para mas makilala naten ang isa't isa... Mas magiging maganda samahan naten dito kung naiilabas naten yung mga gusto nateng sabuhin sa isa't isa...

Biglang bumawi...

After an hour, nag lunch c jovs. Di na cya bumalik sa station nya. Kinausap nya yung mas mataas kay Sup... Later that day, hayun na-escalate sa HR... hahaha!

Kung sa kin ginawa yun... ewan ko lang...

Professionalism? Take it and forget what happened, if that's what it means sa ganitong situation pero my point is... Lahat tayo kelangan ng trabaho. In order for us to stay in out job is to be happy in what you are doing and to have a happy relationship with your colleagues. It doesn't permit anybody to humiliate somebody kung meron cya nagawang mali kase tao lang tayo na sinuswelduhan ng kompanya naten at meron kamalian sa mga ginagawa. Kahet nga PC minsan me downtime eh tao pa kaya...

Bottomline is... Hindi Diyos ang mga Superiors naten. Lahat tayo kelangan ng trabaho para sa fulfillment naten bilang isang tao.

First Entry...

Eto na! Eto na! Hay! ang tagal ko plinano magblog. At last I find a time to do what I enjoyed reading during my spare time (lalo na sa office...).

Well, to start my post and my blog, I would like to do a tribute to my highschool friends.

If you are asking why?, then simply because it was the time na talagang nabuo ang half ng kung sino ako ngaun. Let me tell you this... kahit na almost 12 years na kong nakagraduate ng highschool but still, I do have goosebumps everytime I am with my hiskul friends.

To start the story, I entered highschool in 1995. Whoa! nakakatakot kc biglang ibang environment kaagad yung nilalakaran ko bitbit ung mga books, notebooks sa loob ng isang malaking bag. Mukhang tanga talaga ako kase palingalinga, hinahanap kung san pupunta. But eventually, nagkaroon naman ng mga kaibigan. Until nag second year na.

Medyo maangas na kase di na engot sa campus. Mabilis lumipas ang 2nd year and of course, here comes 3rd year!

Bakit ako excited sa 3rd year ko? Kase jan ko nakilala ung mga totoong kaibigan ko until now. This year ako natutong maging isang tunay na kaibigan. Dito ako unang nanligaw, nagkagirlfriend, nag cutting classes, escape sa class, tumambay till midnight sa tropa, maglakwatsa, gumimik at kung anu ano pa...

Dito rin ako nangambang magkaroon ng bagsak... chemistry! F***s**t! buti na lang eh nadaan ko sa pa-cute ung teacher kong bading... hehehe... Dito rin ako unang nagka-attend ng JS Prom. WOW! ang saya...

Bakasyon.

Palagi kame magkakasama nung mga tropa ko. Gala dito, Gala dun! Para bang walang sawa kame sa mukha ng isat isa.

Para ngang ang bilis nung panahon na yun kase eto na naman pasukan time na naman, Nandyan ung pahirapan sa paggising ng maaga.Kaya naman palagi ako late sa first subject ko nun (THE before but now TLE na ata).

Naka-close namen yung mga teachers because they are asking us some favors and errands everytime me event sa school. Kame yung nabansagang mga kaaway ng teachers sa loob ng classroom pero bestfriend sa labas.

We can't stop the hands of time kc the dreadest time came. GRADUATION. Di man ako naiyak nung time na yun pero this time everytime maaalala ko yung mga times na yun saka ako parang timang na naluluha (di nmn iyak na pangdrama...).

for all the high school guys and gals out there, live your highschool life to the fullest. It's ok to do something naughty sometimes but not to the extent of ruining your future because your where you are right now will be the foundation of your tomorrow. You just have to balance life at the same time. Too much of something isn't good.

Para sa mga tropa ko na until now eh nanjan sa tabi tabi everytime magiinom, me problema or me kung ano p man kahet me kanya kany na tayong mga pamilya, isang tagay para sa ting lahat! CHEERS to all of us for the good job we've done!
