It has been a great year folks!

Now it's 2015 and let us all hope for another good year ahead! =) 

Happy New Year!

Hello Fellas!

Few more days to go before the year ends and it's not fair to bid goodbye to 2014 without any holiday greetings to everyone =)

Merry Christmas and a blissful New Year to all! I wish us good health, peace of mind and good life ahead. 

Keep Calm and Rejoice the New Year!

Hello World! 

<test>

As promised, I'm gonna share a piece of my life story as a customer service associate a.k.a waitress/cashier. 

Yes. I was a waitress and I am proud that I was once a waitress :) Not everyone can actually do the job. I must tell you, it wasn't an easy one. Ten months almost of being a waitress was way beyond my expectation. At first, I thought I would only last for 3 months or less but alas! It lasted for 9 months over and it's unbelievable. It really was. ^_^ But anyway, I'd like to share to you a few details about my former workplace. 

It's a French-Mediterranean cuisine. It's a fancy restaurant for a small city like ours. To be honest, I didn't even know it existed for more than 4 years already. Funny no? If it wasn't for a friend who really persuaded me to apply, maybe, just maybe, up until now I'd be clueless about it. Tsk! It's embarrassing. I was an HRM graduate yet I was not aware of its existence. 
I should have known. Ugh. blah blah blah..

Moving on..

I started my first day feeling a little rattled. I came in just in time, everyone was so busy doing their routines and blah blah blah and then that's it. I was told to have a straight sched (11-8) but ended but broken (11-2, 6-11)..ugh! Guess what I did for my 4 hours break? I went to the mall and stayed there then went back for my next shift and felt a little comfortable when I noticed a very familiar face in the counter area. Oh. a facebook friend, someone from my school! thank God! atleast, I have someone I know that I can talk to, I mean, we're not really friends but atleast, someone I'm sure I could get along with. 

Later that day my lady boss called me in just to tell me that I should wear make up/s (I actually had my make up on at that moment) and then I said, I am wearing it already and then she looked at me and said, then have it retouch! And I was like (in my mind but uttered it anyway), do I have to take a break to retouch or I can do the retouch tomorrow? and she was really really shocked and said "Now". lol. Guess I blew it off on my first day, eh? 

Moving on..

See me in my training period..

That is me wearing my most friendly smile (lol), in my favorite place at that time. Yes. If you're there, you will see me standing, actually, blocking the cashier's area-almost away from the diners. HAHA! Neal and Julius would usually teased me because I look like a standee, as they described me. At my back is Irish (our pastry chef, one and only lady chef in the kitchen). Oh! She was tough and scary one.  HAHA! 

Can you see the chiller at my back? Inside are variety of cheese, sausages and ham. Do love those? because most foreigner does, Americans in particular. 

Know the worst part of my training? It's when I was told that what I learned in school were all wrong! I mean, c'mon? Are you guys saying that all the money spent for school was ALL for nothing? Haha! Okay, whatever! they know best, so, got nothing else to say! ^_^

Anyway, I learned the basic though: Smile to the guest, open the door for them, greet them as they enter, lead them to their tables, grab the chairs for them and serve them water before or after you give them the menu list. Take their orders, write it down and call it out to the kitchen, set up the table and serve the food after then observe them keenly as they devour their food, so if something went wrong, you'll be prompt to approach them and there'll be no need for them to raise their hands to get a waiter's attention.

After training period. 

Yay. Finally! Worn this after a month. Imagine that! It took me a month just to wear that uniform. Hah! I thought I would never see myself wearing this :P

After training, meaning, I can finally entertain guest independently this time. Though sometimes they'd still don't trust me with some guest, those complicated ones and blah blah blah..

Of course, I screwed up too many times already and every time, it made me wanna quit. but it's normal, right? Many thought about it, I bet. But I still survived :D

Moving on..

During one of the event..

told ya! It's my fave place :P 

shared this one already. :p

I don't look different in three photos, aye? was it a good or bad thing? 

Moving on..

Things turned upside down, it all started when I decided to apply abroad and then there, resignation followed :P 

Now, all that's left to me are the memories with the team :D 

-to be continued-

..you will get to know them one by one: Kitchen Staff: Neal (Saucier, if I'm not wrong), Julius (Sous Chef or Chef de Partie or better ask them? lol), Irish (Pastry Chef), Don2x (Baker)..

Cashiers: Nats and Gale

Bartender: Mac

Dining Staff: Rhyn (Sommelier) and Kurt (Chef de Rang) :D


Until next time! ^_^

So, here's how I would start my serious come back, I mean, the real thing, not this kind of writing, the usual one (not that this isn't my usual or whatever). I'm gonna go a through a throwback series. From my first (and following day) at work til' my last day. What I've been up to last Christmas and New Year, this year's valentines and holy week. Where I have been after the resignation and what's keeping me busy now. Oh la la! I have a long list, mind you!And of course, I'm gonna flood you with photos. :D It won't be me blogging with no photos, aye? :)

First thing first, I need to gather my photos-edit and put them up on collage so it won't be too annoying to see :P Problem is, I can't find it yet. I know I stored it somewhere. I swear, I will find it tonight :) So, that's all for now. Gotta go bloghopping first before keeping up myself busy for the next post. 

Later :)

It occurred to me once that this would happen, then it happened and it breaks me apart. I spent my savings and partly someone else's money for this. I can not be regretful. I have to look at the bright side of this situation. But anyway, the fact that I'm still enjoying being jobless aids the frustration I'm currently feeling. Hay, thank you blogger/s for filling me in.

Since I'm still confused on what topic to write, why not help me instead? Do you think "featuring" certain people could be of help? I mean, do you think it's an interesting topic or do I just have to continue the part where I left of? Remember my challenge? I still have plenty of those. Or maybe I should do both alternately, aye? What do you think. Oh! Men!

Anyway, what's up everyone? I'm so sorry for the long absence, I've been too caught up with my job that I can no longer find time to blog. Hooray for being jobless! ^_^ I missed a lot, I know, I am well aware of that now. I lost track of what's in and out in blogsphere. What a shame! But I am back for good, I swear I'll keep up :)

As of now I'm quite busy feeding up myself with tv series and movies-lots of it. HAHA! Anyone? Did you watch the most shocking, cliffhanger season finale of Game of Thrones? Omg. It was a disaster. It really was. Lots of characters has been removed in the series, though I've heard that one I guess is coming back-in a flash, with vengeance. Hay. I'm so excited for its come back, till then, I'll just try to enjoy myself with other films. Any recommendation? Anyone? :0

Oops, gotta go now..(",)

Till next time fellas! ^_^

Edit:

I don't see why I titled it the back up plan. LOL

..will go rambling in a few days :D

I'm so glad to be back! ^_^

#bloghopping now#

When I was still a bum, I used to spend an hour or two thinking of something useful or more appropriate things to write/share, but now, I only got a few minutes to gather my thoughts and blog nonsense, (ahuh! like I don't blog nonsense before)-LOL. I mean really, I would usually spend my time thinking and thinking and now? it's sleeping and sleeping..but anyway, here we go..

I said in my previous post that I'm about to resign, right? but things changed, I'm still resigning though, it's just that, it might take a week or so..I don't know..

Anyway, hay..

I've been longing to share this photo when we had our Octoberfest..cutest outfit I ever wear in my entire life :p

just me and the background, lol.

Do I look weird? hehe..I haven't shared anything yet about work, love life and event since I started working aye? so, this would be the first :)

with Gale

Mac, Mai, Gale and Kurt

Aren't we cute? hehe. 

Oh, and uh..My boyfriend-Mac :)

and I will leave you with this blurry pic :)

-blog hopping now! ciao!

What's up everyone?

Don't worry, this won't take long :)

I know, I know. It's been like..what? forever?

hmm..

I don't know what to blog about actually, I really just wanted to greet everyone in blogsphere a Merry Merry Merry Christmas :)

Obviously, my work has taken over all my leisure time and deprived me from my guilty pleasures in life.

So, whatever. I hope to blog more these days..there are so many things that I can't wait to share :)

that's all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Another break from work..yay!

Gosh. If you only knew how much I miss blogging..

If only I have so much time off work, I'd probably blog everything out..

Well, about my boyfriend? 

He's the nicest thing on earth that ever happened to me and the best thing I never asked for. that's all for now. hehe!

As for today, I have so much things to do. 

I'll be meeting up my cousin to meet this sewer to fit us for my brother's wedding in 2months time. yey. I'm so excited and worried at the same time :) 

Anyway, I'm wishing everyone a happy day today and the rest of the day :)

-bloghopping now-

Hey guys! It's been quite a long hiatus, aye? the longest hiatus ever, I guess? :( I've been enjoying your posts but I really don't have the time to comment with everyone since I can't log in to my co-worker's (Gale) phone (I've been using her phone to check out your blog because she's on postpaid plan and wifi is not available in our area) because I'll be needing some verification code and blah blah blah..

Anyway, again. it's Wednesday and my day off. 

The title has nothing to do much with my post, it's just that, today we went to watch this movie "The Mistress" and I did not enjoy it. It's boring and boring and boring :(

Oh. one more thing..

Got myself a boyfriend :p (that's news, I guess?)

-bloghopping now :)

So it's my day off today and gosh! I have so many things to share but I don't know where to start..

so, I'll just leave you with my "hello" and "I miss you all" 

-blog hopping now..

xoxo

This isn't how I imagine my life on a Wednesday morning (it totally screwed up my whole weekend plan) but I think it's a good thing, aye? :D will talk to you about it when I'm not in a hurry. As for now, I gotta go. My shift will start at 11a and it's almost 10 but I need to suit up! ^_^ kisses!!!

P.S

I just got home from my interview.

It totally ruined my day. Gosh! I just hate myself so much! I've been in to a lot of interviews and I learned nothing. I was doing okay on the way and then everything just went black. I didn't even have the chance to apply everything I've learned in my training. The exaggeration of the mouth when pronouncing a word/s, tongue positioning, how to read it properly and blah blah blah. I was lost! I couldn't even deliver my answer appropriately. I stammer, my hands were sweating and trembling at the same time. I had everything (in mind) in control. I only need to speak with confidence, with smile and proper pronunciation and I fucked up! I freaked out!!! I got one chance..one chance and I blew it. Threw it all away just like that. Shit! Shit! Shit! I hate me!!! I really really really hate myself right now!!! Gosh!!! When can I ever get things right?!!! Ugh! 

screw this day!!!

P.S

I love you guys. xx

Here's what happened yesterday.

We don't want to watch the last full show of Bourne Legacy (because I don't want to go home almost midnight) so we did everything we could to catch up..

We had enough time to catch but we're hungry, so we decided to eat at KFC, but we don't want to be late so we had take outs. I was standing on the line for almost 15mins before I was entertained (they had a big order before me which was acceptable) and then I only ordered a krushers and a bucket of fries but they run out of fries so they asked me if I could wait for 5mins, I said, Okay! 

I went back to our table..

I've been checking my watch every now and then..

after 5mins..

Shit!!! the order is not yet served. I raise and waved my waiting number or whatever you call it and they were just looking at me. I am so pissed!!! We are seriously running out of time and it's almost 6.15p (the movie is about to start already) and where the hell is our order???

I keep telling the crews to follow up my order and what they did is to nod and nod and nothing else. 

until it reached to 6.20p, finally! the fries came naked! I mean, not naked but I said it was for take out, it should be in plastic right??? What are they thinking??? whatever! we did half walking/half running to the cinema..

It's 6.2o on the clock and the guard did not let us in because we're 5mins late :( we still can watch actually but the question is, "is missing 5mins of the scenes really is okay? OF COURSE NOT!" 

Hay. So we have no choice but to wait for 2hrs and 5mins for the next viewing :(

With food in our hands we went around the mall to look for a chair or a place to kill time and then we saw this..

tada!

Perfect place, isn't it?

This spot was in the center of Lacoste, Gap, Springfield, blah blah blah and obviously Marks and Spencer boutique.

We stayed there for 2hrs and been getting too much attention by shoppers and sales staff! HAHAHA! Everyone (not one person missed to look at us, I'm sure of that) was looking at us, as if..I don't know. I have no idea of what they're thinking. =p 

Killing time!

the usual us..

the usual Kaye..

After hours of waiting..

We head back to the cinema and find ourselves standing on the line again :((

there were too many already who got in first before us. Oh! What a tiring night :(

so that's it. we finally were able to watch the Bourne Legacy after missing its first screening. Thank you KFC for wasting our time!!! Please serve fast next time :((

I went home almost 12midnight so darn tired. I hope this will not happen to you. :( 

This is it!!!

The video is finally here..

check the steps here in HOW TO GET A GUY'S ATTENTION. 

we're supposed to get a guy's attention, right? but take a closer look whose attention we got instead. HAHA! 

though I spotted one guy who actually did pay some attention but it was after the crew/staff sang that birthday song to Kaye a.k.a Stel :)

nevertheless, I wanna thank Kaye for giving this video a try. She laughed too much for trying, we all did. So, I hope you'll enjoy this one. We did try it yesterday in the mall and we're successful of getting some guys attention but Kaye deleted it thinking that the previously recorded video was a lot more better than the second one. :(

Hello guys! 

How are you? What makes you busy? Anything new? Any news? 

Well, last night, I had a blast with my friends (Janine and Kaye) playing a prankster to Kaye. Yes. You read it right. I played the "prankster" part and Kaye was the victim, but actually it wasn't really Kaye..

let me explain..

We met to have dinner..

we do this a lot, usually, one in two weeks or whenever Janine is free from her work :)

So here's what happened.

This was planned way back College. It was my idea and I dragged Janine into this and then yeah, obviously, Kaye too. The idea was, to dine in at this specific restaurant (who staff/crews will sing for free for anyone celebrating their birthdays and will give you a sort of cake or whatever). Get the picture? ^_^

It wasn't Kaye's birthday but we pretended it's hers so they will sing for her -for free. It was flawlessly done. Kaye was a born actress. She acted perfectly. Her surprised face was priceless. If only I was able to get her reaction but everything was done fast. The crews came out of nowhere and started singing happy birthday and me?I was totally unprepared. I panicked. I turned the camera on, put on video setting but it was too late. I missed her face already!!! sucks!!! 

You will get to see the rest though, 

They were so loud, aren't they? I almost lost my soul when they all started singing. I can barely hear my own voice. I was startled. Oh!  a few secs you will see an upside down video, sorry about that :)

Look what we have here..

isn't this cute? :)

So? How was our little joke? 

Was I so bad to pull that kind of stunt? I do feel bad playing trick with all those people but it feel so good at the same time :(

I sincerely do apologize to all the crews. You guys were just a victim of our silly (practical) joke :) It was fun fooling around though. It really was a one hell of a fun night ^_^ Oh Please! Don't get me wrong. That thing I did? It was part of my bucket list. ^_^ I know, I know! I'm stupid, playful and whatever you wanna call me. Again, I do feel bad about it but I'm not sorry. :P 

Let's all fall in love at this newly discovered cafe :)

What recently Kaye can't live without :)

You still love me, right??? :)

Oh! One last thing..tomorrow I will share to you the How to get a guy's attention in action (video), courtesy of Kaye ^_^

Tick tack tick tack..


In two days, our most awaited movie of this year will finally be released. With the title (up there), i'm pretty sure you already have an idea what the hell i'm rambling about. Yes! Yes! Yes..it's no other than the BOURNE LEGACY movie itself. 


I am so excited. 


Why? 


Hmm..I guess you knew that it was shoot here in the Philippines right? I mean few scenes in the movie were shoot here and guess what? It was shoot just near our dormitory. 


Remember that? 


We had our OJT in Manila late November of 2011 and left (back home) 3 weeks on January 2012?


We did not get to see the stars though, which was sad. But I don't mind, it wasn't Matt Damon anyway :P


But still, I'm excited. I can't wait. ^_^


Are you gonna watch it too??? I swear. I will not read any movie reviews about it until I get to watch it myself. 


Ugh. Shit. I'm really excited! HAHA!

Remember I told you about how fun it was in my training class? Hmm..You'll be the judge to that..


Here's the thing. How to get a guy's attention? It's simple.


I don't know how we got into that topic but our trainer said that for a girl to get a guy's attention is just a piece of cake..a few gestures will do.

here's what you need to do.

Pa-cute TIPS TO GET A GUY'S ATTENTION. 

    1. Of course, first thing first. Look for your crush, (our trainer didn't tell this exactly but I kinda just figured it out)..then do this in front of that guy you like, I mean, not necessarily in front, any side will do, just make sure you are visible.  Using your hand, move (slowly) your hair (not all your hair, okay? you know what I'm trying to say right?) and bring it to the back of your ear..try to do that and see if I'm making sense here..^_^ If it will not work, it's time to do the next one..

      2. WINK ;-) I think you guys do this more often than girls. Aye? This may sound awkward but girls (I for instance) can do this effortlessly too, but still it's not a guarantee to get someone's attention. If still won't work, it's time for our number 3.

3. LICK YOUR LIPS (I'd love to put pictures here but I guess you know exactly what to do). I think out of the three, this 3rd is the most effective one, don't you think? but then again, if none of these three tips will work..It's time to reveal our last and final card..

for sure, even you guys would surely agree with me on this-NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

In your honor, the final card is..

TRY TO DO EVERYTHING DOING IT ALL TOGETHER (the three) AT A TIME and we'll see if you will still be left unnoticed because I'm pretty sure you will get his full attention this time. Geez. Yeah yeah..you'll get his attention but in return you'll be his laughing stock (or not). 


Can you picture it out? I mean, imagine yourself girls (or guys, imagine the girl) bringing your (her) hair back to your (her) ear and winking at the same time while licking your (her) lips???


Did you just do it? :D so, how was it? funny? no? we tried it in class and we all looked like a fool but it's worth it. I did it with my sister and she laughed so hard. It's cute :) But I don't think I will ever have the confidence to do it in front of someone I like. I mean, I can do it one by one, but not the other way around :) 

That is how to get a guy's attention pa-cute tips! 

HAHA!

hug and kisses here (*_*)
