GMA's on-air apology noted

Reeling from the guilt of remaining silent towards the audio conversations, PGMA finally came out last night and spoke about the illicit wiretapped conversation involving her and Commissioner Garci. I happen to be watching 24 oras at that time when suddenly Gloria's face popped up on our tv screen. In the past, I never put value or importance everytime Gloria comes out in our tv screens and say and/or comment about something that is of interest to our beloved country, I even never remembered the last time she spoke like that. The broadcast was something that pulled my attention to the point that I ignored a phone call which I believe at that point was coming from a call center that I applied to online. It was really something that meant my full attention since PGMA was put into the hotseat and grave threats of her leaving the position too soon gave so much dent into my life.

Commenting on this one is really a tough task since I only know a fraction of the issue. Honestly speaking, I wasn't able to keep track of this issue, I just don't want to. Maybe, it's just that I don't have the time to listen and really understand what the both sides are trying to prove. I don't want to pretend that I know a lot about it and then present my opinion which might lack coherence in it. What I do is just to hop on to several blogs and see if my POV matches or differs in many ways.

But with what I heard from what she declared, I am not so sure whether she is apologizing for speaking to Garci which is really inappropriate in the time of election bickering or whether she is saying sorry for cheating last elections. That we must let go of the past and move on to working as one Philippines. While saying that particular line, I've seen her smile a bit, an indication that, well, she has to do more practice. But nevertheless, she conveyed it with conviction.

Well, back to training. Im actually right here in our training room, really dozing off. I wish I had more time to read about this issue and eventually give my opinion on this concern.

First day of training

Today is actually my first day of training at ACS, a call center located in Makati. I was assigned in the US Airways account and I'm really looking forward to learning different things about the company as well as various info about the United States. Im really interested in learning more a lot about USA since it was included in the curriculum of this training, I will put efforts in knowing some of the things thats still unknown for me.

Actually, prior to this training, I underwent a one-week Soft Skills Training. It's all about enhancing and possibly shifting our accent to the standard American English accent. We also tackled about the American Dream, the aspiration of setting foot to America and achieving beyond what our parents has so gone far. The trainer also introduced us to the American history, culture and some other stuff and we went along memorizing State capitals and abbreviations. Each day our trainer is giving us quizzes, technically a classroom-like test, to determine whether we're learning something or not. Passing score is 90%. At the end of the soft skills training, we had a little party where we had boodling and singing.

This is bullshit!

Darn it! I haven't updated this blog for like an eternity!! If there is a supreme court for blogging, I would have been sentenced guilty for obvious reasons.

The Wit and Class of a Filipino

A Filipino walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to the Philippines on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Filipino hands over the keys of a new Ferrari. The car is parked on the street in front of the bank. The Filipino produces the title and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Pinoy for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Pinoy returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The Pinoy replies: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

The American Excuse

Her sister was also sick, fever and sore throat, her brother had a low grade fever and ached all over. I wasn't the best either, sore throat and fever. There must be something going around, her father even got hot last night.

Please excuse Jennifer for missing school yesterday. We forgot to get the Sunday paper off the porch, and when we found it Monday, we thought it was Sunday.

Losers in Paris

Matagal-tagal na rin pala akong no-watch ng Lovers in Paris, kaya hindi nakapagtatakang wala akong masyadong updates na pino-post re LIP. Nagulat nga ako na may blog na rin at yahoo groups na dedicated sa korean show na 'yun. Sa sobrang kawalan ng updates, hindi ko na rin namalayan ang kumalat na tsismis ukol sa ending ng show. May mga tumaas ang kilay na malamang ganoon na lang natapos ang LIP, ngunit marami naman ang natuwa at sinabing unique ang ending.

Nalalabi na lang ang mga araw ng LIP sa Primetime TV. Kaya't sa pagkakataong ito, marapat na 'di ko palampasin ang ending ng show sa friday.
