IM BACK!

Im back on the blogging world! Hehe, thanks to my friend Ruthie who reminded me to update it...Grabe its been almost a year na since I last updated my this. I dont know, maybe I lost my interest in blogging because it will just remind me of the past....past that I dont want to remember anymore...and one of them is my bestfriends death....


But life must go on, I know that Divine is very happy wherever she is...


Anyway Im enjoying my shift now, Im working from 8:30 pm to 5:30 am. Tulog pa ang mga amerikano ng mga panayong yun kaya di masyadong kyowing...sweldo kahapon kaya medyo masaya rin ang mood sa office kanina, natatawa nga ako parang lahat nakangiti at walang masyadong irate tech kagabi.

I came home at about 6:30 na, walang traffic because all classes were suspended for high school and college level and one more good thing is that nung pag uwi ko kaninang madaling araw...its soooo malamig. Nakatulog nga ata ako sa gliner. Its such a wonderful day and I hope all the days to come will be as beautiful as this day or even better.

I had the chance to chat with my kuya edwin and he asked me to help him sell his van, anyone interested just email me at melaniesabile@yahoo.com...ill try to post it in ebay as well if i have time. Heres the specs (specs?) or description of the van:

Model is 1998 .L300 Exceed Mitsubishi. WCZ 265 plate number. With Mags ng Mitsubishi Adventure, Pioneer Stereo, with Khaos Fuel Saver gadget

starting price is at 300k - almost new because well kept. I have been a living testimony (huh?) kung gano kasmooth ang takbo nito coz ilang beses nako nakatulog sa van na ito habang on the road.

well thats all for now. I hope through this, my friends will be able to know what is happening in my life now kahit di ko sila masyadong nakakasama. Its almost 9:30 am...im soooo sleeppyyyy na! Will continue tomorrow...ciao!

agape globe!!!!

Its just an ordinary day for me...I woke up at 10:30 am - still feeling sleepy, but I must get up. Its my last day in the office today. I have to bid my final farewell to my officemates for the last time. I saw the clock its already 11:30 am. I must hurry now, we do have a team meeting at 1:30 pm...my mind is telling me to go but my body seems to say, its enough. But I need to go, I forced myself to go to the shower, fix my things and head off to globe telecom tower which have been my workplace for almost 1 1/2 years. Im proud to be a part of a very dynamic company who is also the leader in technology and innovation, and im very thankful for all the things this company brought to my life. ive learned to be tough, to stick to my principles and master the art of helping people. Ive been technically inclined (in some ways) and brought smiles (?)to hundred of thousands subscribers whom Ive talked with for the past 1.5 years. But this day...it will be over. goodbye to irate subs, goodbye to 7 hours log in, goodbye to my semipermanent post (hehehe) and goodbye to "sapilitang pagpasok" days ko. Its not all bad naman, sa globe ko naranasan ang mga 20k na salary for 15 days lang ha (take note) - makakuha ng 40k na bonus from union and so many perks and priviledges , not to mention the "it" feeling whenever someone says "talaga sa globe ka nagwowork?" when someone asks my workplace. Ill gonna miss those feeling and those "happy days" definitely, but I again have to move on...to attain greater things, one has to risk something and that's what I did. Hopefully the next road I'll take will take me to somewhere "greener" and more "fulfilling" life than the one I had before. It's already 9:48 pm, the clock is ticking...I still have 2hrs and 10 mins time to log....hopefully no irate subs for this remaining hours. The last irate subs I handled today is ms. agarpe --- (*@@###**) with her. Is it my fault if 3g facility is not yet provided in her area? It seems she wants to me put up a 3g cellsite in her hometown, duh? cagayan de oro?! She is speaking in english language but you'll know very easily that she is from somewhere in the visayan province. tried assisting her to set the phone in dual mode so she will see for herself if 3g is provided in her area but she refused saying she will not do it and I should be the one to manually shift her phone in dual mode which is next to impossible because it should be subs initiated. She is so insistent that i almost lost my grip - but thank God she conceeded after 1 hour and 20 mins. She ate up almost half of my remaining log in time with globe, but its ok. I believe in Karma. Tomorrow will be a great day, a new journey awaits ... a long vacation to spend (long daw eh 1 wk lang naman) ... and a promising career ahead of me (hopefully). syanawa, amen!

my resignation

Im planning to give my resignation letter on May 15,2006. I really cant continue in this kind of job that every second is counted. I can still remember when I asked my friend if he wants to work in a call center...sabi niya " ayoko nga parang yung upuan ko may relo..." , yeah its true and its really hard to comply with a seven hours talk time. I dont know what's in front of me but I know that this is where my heart leads me. I hope and pray that the next job that I will have would be fulfilling financially, emotionally and spriritually. I know in time - God will give me the desires of my heart.
here's my resignation letter: (second time hopefully the last letter that I'll gonna forward to
a company would be a retirement letter)

TO: Ms. Tajmahal Sulaiman
SUBJECT: Resignation
DATE: May 15, 2006



Dear Ms. Sulaiman:

This is to formally inform you that I am resigning from Globe Telecom effective June 15, 2006.

I would like to thank you for the good opportunity you have given me. I know that with the experience I have acquired since the very first day I got here is worth reminiscing. But I need to look forward to another opportunity that is knocking in front of me. I would like to find out and know more what else can I do and realize my other capabilities.

Once more, thank you so much for letting me become a part of a very dynamic environment of Globe Telecom and teaching me how to be a responsible individual.

For Globe Telecom, thank you and may God always pour His blessings to the company to continue its vision of making great things possible.


Yours truly,

My Bestfriends Birthday

It's my bestfriend's birthday today. Usually I text her asking her where will we celebrate her birthday...but now, no reply from her. I can still remember her birthday jan 23, 2003...she keeps on asking me kung what time ako punta sa kanila but i really have no intention of going...
but instead i told her i do have a terrible headache. she is indeed expecting me to come, but i cannot directly tell her that i cant because I dont want her to be dissapointed. Sobra if only I knew that it would be her 2nd to the last birthday...I would have come. I miss her...I miss her a lot!!!! I hope and pray she's happy wherever she is right now....

iTs a GreAt ChrisTmas!!!!


Lord I thank you for all your blessings to us. You indeed blesses us
financially...You are always there when we needed you...finally we can now start the business we are preparing for.

Trully I should never regret my decision to leave Maersk. Never in my stay with them have I received an amount of php 40k that we will receive in our CBA here at Globe. I myself cannot believe it - management and union have agreed to give all it's members php 40,000 signing bonus on
December 23, two days before Christmas besides the 13th month and the Christmas bonus they gave us...All the incentives and an increase of 15% of our salary will increase next year. Im really overwhelmed regarding this.

Indeed...Globe is making great things possible....

last few memories....

until now i have'nt recovered yet...i dont know, maybe this is the feeling of someone who lost a very important person in her life...yeah, she's a very important person in my life...ewan ko ba, nung drinadraft namin yung mga abay, naiyak na lang ako bigla. Kasi si Vhine ang maid of honor ko supposedly, pero di man lang niya nahintay ang kasal ko...so sad.

anyway, Ill post some of our conversation thru email so that lagi ko maalala ang mga kakikayan ng bestfriend ko...

Bestfriend Mimi,Hi! Hows my ever sexy and charming bestfriend? Im here in Davao mall wala magawa sa barko. I decided to go here and open my mail. I missed those times na kapag sad ako anytime i need you and pipa, you're there magkikita na agad tayo. Remember, the night na naglayas ako : ) kayo ang kasama ko. hehehehehe. i really missed those times. Last night a passenger soldier threatened me. He first asked if im single and then asked about my virginity... how gross... gusto kong sampalin nagpigil lang ako. Tapos kinulit ako for my cel# for 5 minutes, nung hindi ko ibinigay tinakot na ako na sya daw ang bahala sa Surigao. tinakot na ko. Pinatawag ko agad ang security natakot talaga ako.... Madami nangyari kwento ko sayo pag uwi ko sa Manila. Regarding Lui, i am really thankful that God gave me a chance to make him part of my life. Pero hanggang dun na lang talaga yon..... dumadating pala ang time na all the magic and love will lasts. Kahit minahal mo ng sobra ang isang tao tapos nasaktan ka, nawala ang trust, kasunod na ang love. I just want to have my life to be peaceful and happy. Ngayon wala ng ex-gf na nanggugulo sa kin.... o mas ok na nagpapa- konsyensya at umiiyak. I am more happy now.Just tell him na masaya na ko and i pray that he will be happy and successful in his life... I have a boyfriend here papakilala ko sya sa inyo ni pipa siguro sa december. : ) i learn a lot from him. Kung paano humarap sa problema at kung paano maging matapang. Sa work namin kelangan kasi malayo kami sa family and close friends. I am planning to have my resignation probably January next year apply na ko for abroad. By then, 8 months na experience ko pwede ng ipanlaban sa labas. : )Bestfriend, thanks for everything. Marami ng nangyari sa buhay ko. Since high school tayo na magkasama.... In my ups and downs, my happiness and sadness, secrets, kalokohan, mga crushes. Im so thankful coz God gave me someone like you. madrama ba? heheheheYou take care lagi ha. I miss you. Regards kay pipa, jojo,odette pati na rin kay louie. : ) \Love you and Godbless! mwah mwah mwah/.

farewell to you my bestfriend!!!

I lost my bestfriend last oct 20...that was my off. I was busy fixing our house because I was supposed to go in our house in montalban when one of my good friend, odette, texted me asking me not to go home today because of my bestfriend Divine. My heart thumped so fast because of the text so I called Odette up. She told me my bestfriend is gone...at first, i cannot believe my ears so I asked her once again if it's true and she said it is. The first words that came out of my mouth was " Odette, ang laki ng kasalanan natin kay Divine..", having in mind that she is asking me to visit her when she was still in the hospital. Actually I visited her thrice, but on her last request I wasnt able to do that. I never texted her after that because I just want to surprise her when I already had the chance to visit her maybe not in the hospital anymore but in their home where I could see that she's ok already. I hate to see her suffering from the sickness that she had.But now, I will never be able to surprise her...I would never be able to see her again. Not in another 50,60 years from now...I will definitely miss her. After I heard that, I immediately called up Jojo, I want to be with him. I want him to accompany me thru my despair and im happy that jojo is very supportive, in less than 30 mins he's already knocking at the door. Im not so sure if I would collapse after hearing that, being with jojo makes me feel a lot better.Then we proceed to the Paz Funeral Homes, at the entrance, I already saw her name in the list of dead people that would have their wake in that place. I cant believe it! Whenever I see her name, I can sense a feeling of being happy, being at home...but now its a terrifying scene...Louie fetched us at the gate of the funeral home, according to him Divine was still being embalmed as of the moment. So we went straight to the embalming section, and there I saw her cousin Michelle. We hug and cried together - it such a great grief. And there lying in the bed, I saw my
bestfriend - very stiff. I can't believe it up to this day...the person who gave such importance to our friendship..the one who gave me special mention on her salutatory speech, the person who made me her 18th candle, the person who made me feel part of her family, the person who introduced me as her bestfriend in her friends and family members...is gone, lying on that cold bed..lifeless....
i can still remember our last meeting, it was June 24. I received a text message from her while in the office asking me (actually, begging me...) if I could go to Odette's place for San Juan Fiesta.
Actually, it was indeed on my plan that I together with Jojo would go to Odette's place later that night, and her asking me to go and accompany her makes me certain about my decision to go.

I told her Ill gonna fetch her at 8 pm but it was so traffic so she finally gave up and told me to just go directly to Odette's place, anyway, her college friend Jen is already with her so they will go ahead. When I finally came to the vicinity, I texted her... I asked her if they could fetch me im already on the next street...but no one replied, so I went straight and found my barkada and jojo's kada as well. I was looking for her and I saw her hiding in one of my friends shoulder joking so she can surprise me that she is wearing a long wig. She was so pretty in that wig, its as if she never suffered from her recent chemotheraphy session. We laughed all night, she even took a picture of us in her phone and she also took some picture of herself in her phone, as if she was
mesmerized by her gorgeous look. My gay bestfriend Pipa also took a picture of us together and I saw that picture in her wake and I really cried...I never thought that would be the last portrait of us together. Divine had to leave early because her mom, tita linda would definitely get angry if she went home later than the designated time. so we accompanied her together with her college buddies outside the house and I hugged her tight, so tight that she the wig almost drop off her head. I never thought that it would be my last embrace to a very dear friend...and that was it. I will never ever see that lovely smile ever again as long as I live...

I could still remember the time we (me,jojo, pipa, louie (her ex) , and vhine0 went to Bulacan for an overnight swimming - we were
very happy sobra...we are even looking forward another time like this and we planned of being together again in our company outing in montemar. But unfortunately there has been some schedule problems so it was never facilitated. After that she worked as a stewardess at negros navigation...she even gave us foods from Davao as our pasalubong (thru her ex louie, my former officemate also). She was such a thoughtful girl...a very loving and a caring one. At the last day of the wake...we were given the chance to have a speech and a testimonial on how Vhine made an impact in our lives...when it was already my turn, as the bestfriend, I was the second on the line after her mom... I talked about our competition when we were still in highschool, I discussed about how my greatest competitor became my bestfriend...I have a thousand of things to say at that time but I dont know why I only said a few. Maybe because I was nervous, shocked, and most of all...lonely.

Because of her lost, I suddenly realized the importance of time...the importance of family...the importance of close relationship with God. Ive learned that we can never tell when is the moment that God would fetch us to be with Him. Learn to seize the day, always look at the bright side of life...life is too short to worry about small things...


to all my friends- pipa, odette, ruth, malen, syana, mean, shai, jag, pam, pinky, tope, dhang,cel,maricris,mama wendy,mhay, aileen, jen, hannah,kat, atey and many more...
i love you. I will try my best to be a good friend to all of you...


and to my bestfried Divine, who is now my angel....I love you. I hope I have uttered those words personally to you but i know in the email we sent to each other, i know you know that whenever I say I love you at the end of the message ..its from the heart.


as what the song says..."farewell to you my friend..well see each other again...",i know we'll see each other again...maybe not in this lifetime...but in eternity....

kaya ko to!!!!

How would I rate my life right now? medyo ok, medyo hindi. there were times i am very certain of the things I want and then in just one blink of an eye...iba na naman. I want to have a drive, to have consistency...I just hope i could be able to continue with the plan I have in my mind today...Lord, I know this is a tough thing to do, a near impossible plan, but I believe I can make it. It is only me that is responsible for my own success and downfall, I really hope this would
push through...

Ang Dami kong project!!!!

last friday is my off and i have nothing to do at the apartment so I texted one of old buddy Syana wayback college and I asked her if she wants to go to Divisoria and go naman ang lola mo although medyo bumabagyo bagyo na..ewan ko ba, I just dont like the feeling of being alone in our house. It makes me feel that Im wasting my off without doing something or going somewhere. Then we met at gateway mrt station. I intend to buy an art project, something that will make me busy and some ornaments for our humble home. I want to reverse my attention out of my work and focus on my art project instead. I intend to resign definitely by april next year after I received my cba bonus and midyear together with my educational allowance, besides I already have my vacation leave, sick leave, leave with the family and additional day offs at that time..mabilis na lang yun...We first went to tutuban mall, grabe nakabili agad ako ng pucca pillow for the office, then we proceed to the tiangge sa baba wherein nakabili ako ng cross stitch project (winnie the pooh) - it costs me almost php 200 for that..and then we strolled because syana wants to buy shoes for her cousins. then we bought cd's at the tiangge also, syana bought an mymp cd and i bought 3, one is from janno gibbs (my favorite singer); michael buble (because of the song "home") and one from the corrs (summer sunshine). Afterwards, sobrang lakas na ng ulan, kaso desidido kami na maghanap ng beads, so punta kami sa tabora market (kahit saksakan ng lakas ng ulan) and at last we saw a certain store na ang specialty yata is selling all kinds of beads, i was really overwhelmed. andaming beads and accessories...medyo nagcram ako kasi andaming pagpipilian. we stayed at the store at about 1.5 hrs kasi sobrang di kami makapili, pati si syana na walang kabalak balak mag beads naengganyo...hahahaha! I spent almost seven hundred and syana six hundred for all those kakikayan.It's such a wonderful experience, afterwards jojo waited for me at gateway mrt station and we ate out dinner together. Im so excited and one proof is that I already made two pcs of bracelet in just one hour. It's really fun doing beaded bracelet. Thank you Lord for this wonderful day!
