Our class hosted a seminar, ” Communication Development: Public Speaking, Accent and Interview Strategy” wherein we had invited Mr. Christopher Delacruz a specialist from American Institute for English Proficiency, Philippines to give us some tips and information on how to enhance our communication skills.
Another Crazy Year For Me
I never imagined that I will have a chance to be with my family on my special day of the year. It took me months to file a leave (just to be away from work for a day) but due to luck I guess, I got two days off from work and I didn’t have [...]

Me and my friends had a blast last week at Ram’s place in Timog, QC. Harlan and I met in MRT Quezon Ave. station around 9am. Funny thing happened because we never realized that we rode the same train that day, haha! I send him an sms” “Hey mars, I’m two stations away from Quezon [...]
In Eat Bulaga
From F4 to 2ne1 then wonder girls, I’m not a K-Pop fan or whatever but I caught myself staring at these guys kanina when I was watching Eat Bulaga. Hindi naman dahil sa I know their song or whatever, as in na amaze ako sa kanila. I guess, I must say I was starstruck upon [...]

It may be raining outside but that didn’t stop the spectators (including me!) to spend a dime and watch the fireworks display in SM Mall of Asia yesterday. Well, it was Ram who invited me to go with him then I got a ping from Faith, reminding of the invitation to watch the competition.
Nark
March 6th, 2011 niceykels Should I feel guilty if I feel aggravated with the recent unenviable changes at work?
I know that I do not have any right to feel this
but I can’t help it!
I used to the fact that we’re supposed to be the only one who’s using our stations. As far as I can remember, I asked one of our Tier 2 (who visited our account here in Manila) why we have dual monitors. He answered because of the tools that we’re using which are only limited to LM support staff only.
This has been a long running issue the moment I set foot on the account-as far as I can remember.
I miss hearing my previous Team Captain singing her famous videoke song during our shifts, loud chit chats with the ex LM peeps, meetings during our shifts-basically, just having fun at work.
I’m not saying that I’m not having happy right now.
But, the noises that I hear during my shift at the moment are pretty aggravating. I know I shouldn’t be complaining about this one but I can’t stand the fact that this is happening. I somehow can’t withstand of the scent of a smoker at my left.
Why oh why?
Maybe the fact that I don’t know them yet personally could be the culprit.
It feels like I’m alienated in my own world.
Honestly? I still don’t know how to embrace this one. I know we have to adjust with all recent changes but I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels this frustration and it’s like a torment within me.
If only they can hear my unpleasant comments in my head…
Good thing they don’t!

“This too shall pass”
A shot I had while on my way home from school yesterday.
All I need is to get that damn certificate
that’s it. I don’t want to stress myself more-period.
Debate
March 3rd, 2011 niceykels I can’t believe that I heard myself saying this out loud:
You have to be nice with the person you’re going to ask. They’re not the one who’s going to adjust just to please you. If you want to get the answer you need, you have to ask them with RESPECT.

March 2nd, 2011 niceykels We were told by our instructor to take an article that we can share in class by tomorrow. I spent most of my time reading anything that my eyes can lay onto.
Actually, I’m starting to have this daily routine wherein I browser Website for news, entertainment, politics, book reviews and all those stuff that has words. So finding another article is no biggie for me. However, I browsed everything and yet I didn’t find anything that suites my interest.

February 27th, 2011 niceykels How do you know yourself?
A question that was asked by our instructor today on our first day for the week. Actually, I find the module is somewhat related with our internal issues within the class.
We’re now on module three: Interpersonal and Communications Skills
After Long Vacay
February 27th, 2011 niceykels Time flies so fast and a couple of hours to go and I’ll be going back to a hectic schedule between work and school. Reality bites and now I’m waving hello to non-stop reports, memorization and information overload about nursing care.
Cold War
February 27th, 2011 niceykels According to an article that I read this morning, it was because of ‘armistice’ that somehow ceased the war between North and South Korea. The word got my attention and I looked it up in an online dictionary.
armistice:
temporary suspension of hostilities by agreement between the opponents : truce

I’ve been busy with school for the past three months and I already missed a lot of gala, drinking spree and bonding moments with my friends.
So, when I learned that we will be having a one week break from school,
I was like-yehey! Time to spend more time with my family and friends!

The moment I login to my facebook account, I saw most of my friend’s statuses were about a shocking news that happened today. I thought the incident happened locally but I can’t stop my curios mind to click the button to find details in a search engine on the Web.

I just can’t stop myself listening to One Tree Hill’s songs. Actually, I’m pretty thankful that I learned to love the album after the years (yes, years) when I was in deep depression over life and bulshits in between.
One song really caught my attention was Mixtape by Butch Walker. The lines were sad but somewhat thankful in a way-I think. There’s also Everybody’s Changing by Keane, First Cut is The Deepest by Sheryl Crow and so on.
