gud bye

this was the last email of mark on his last day with the company.. so sad that we're lossing members of the team and has to leave the company but life has to move on....

JM - Pre, text-text pa din. Good luck sayo at sana mapromote ka na TSR3. Stick to one para wala masyado sakit ng ulo. Tingnan mo ko. Loyal. Ü Iwas ka muna sa “commercial.” If you need anything (discount card, etc) text ka lang. Ü

Molester - ‘Tol, wag masyado mainit ulo. Hindi pare-pareho agents. Me fast learner at merong not so fast learner. Karamihan sa mga yan mas matanda sayo. Konting respeto naman. Eventually mawawala din mga yan. (scenes from the movie “Walang matigas na SME sa mainit na Agent” played by Lester and Ward) Hehehe. Pero wala ako masabi sa galing mo kumalikot ng computer. Kala ko dati itlog mo lang alam mo kalikutin. Hehe. You deserve your position. Kaw lang nakakaintindi ng CM ng buong-buo. Good luck with the newbies at ke Abbie. Pagbigyan mo na kasi. Deepthroat yan.

Remy - Pare, d ako magtataka kung magtayo ka ng UNION isang araw. Just out of curiosity, nung college ka ba madalas ka sumali sa rally sa Mendiola? Hehe. Joke lang. Bilib ako sa prinsipyo mo sa buhay. Keep fighting for what you believe is right. Konting bawas lang siguro sa init ng ulo. Oh, and one more thing… stay away from firearms. Ü

Ward - Wag ka na magalit ke Pol kung sinira lovelife mo. Marami ka namang reserba. Hehe. Ingat ‘pre. Imbitahin mo kami sa kasal mo. Ipon ka muna bago ka magpamilya para wala masyado problema. Ü

Jess - ‘Pre SME ka na. Tingnan mo nga naman o. Payong kaibigan lang pag dating sa babae, magkakaiba yan. Me hard to get, meron ding palaban. Kelangan marunong ka mag-decipher. Kung ako sayo, sunggaban mo na si ano at baka maunahan ka pa ng iba. Wag ka babagal-bagal. Kiss to kiss basis yan. Ü Nga pala, wag mo kalimutan close yung windows. Hindi wendows… Pambehera ka naman dudung. Ü

Lea - Good luck sayo at sa pamilya mo. Sana some day magkasama-sama na kayo. Salamat din at naglalagay ka na ng “attempts” sa case logs mo. Pinagrosaryo ko pa yun e. Hehe. Ingat.

Abbie - Put@#$in@! S%I&! Ga$o! Hehe. Hinay-hinay sa pagmumura at baka magulantang newbies sayo. Alam ko namang you do understand English. Hehe. Kumusta mo ko ke Jun Fabros. Ü

Ning - Isa ka pa. Hinay-hinay din sa pagmumura lalo pag di ka naka-mute! Hehe. We’re glad that you’re on your way to recovery. Ingatan mo na yang kalusugan mo at tigilan mo na kakayosi. Wag ka na din masyado magalit ke Lester pag tinatalikuran ka pag nagtatanong ka. Wag mo gigripuhan. Hintayin mo na lang dumaan ng Caloocan. Ü

Ai - Eewww! Pagbigyan mo na kasi si Lester. Eewww! Thanks for sharing your “videos” with us. For that reason alone, we’re glad that you became part of our team. Eewww! Hehehe. Ü

Pol - Di na kita kelangan sulatan dahil sabay tayo mawawala hunghang. Hehe. Pero sulatan na din kita at baka magdrama ka pa. Bihira lang taong katulad mo na sobrang bait. Pareho kayo ni Jed na parang di marunong magalit. Ang kaibahan lang si Jed matangkad. Ikaw mataba. Haha! Pero pareho namang gwapo. Ayun e. Brokeback pa ata. Joke. Good luck sayo. I know you said you have some financial problems that’s why you still have to look for another job at a call center even if you have a degree and license in MedTech. Wag ka mag-alala. Sa bait mong yan, di ka pababayaan ni Lord. Sobrang bait mo nga baka kunin ka nya agad. Kidding. Ingat. Text mo ko.

Jed - Good luck sa inyo ng bata mo sa 31^st. Mukhang seryosohan na ata. Hehe. Ingat. Pag ayaw mo na magcall center try mo apply sa PBA. Laki din kita. Hehe.

Stan - Wassup nigga? Hehe. Mukhang marami tayong nabolang chicks ha. Ano ba sikreto mo? Ilang inches ba? Thoroughbred ka ata. Haha!

Ponty - ‘Pre, pareho tayo wave 3 at matagal na magkasama sa team pero di tayo nag-uusap. Siguro kasi pareho tayong tahimik. Mas close ka pa ata ke Len. Anyway, I still see you as my friend. Good luck sa mga plano mo sa buhay. Kumusta mo kami sa gf mo. Ingat.

Lindy - Kelan kasal nyo ni Ron? Balita ko pumasa ka na ng pagiging flight stewardess. Yun naman. So di ako magtataka kung maging member ka na ng “mile high” club. Hehehe. Are you familiar with that? Ü

Mina - Ikaw sakitin ka din. Ingatan mo kalusugan mo. Tingin ko kulang ka lang sa exercise. Di na ba kayo nagaabot ng asawa mo? Ü

PJ - Salamat sa pagshare mo sakin nun ng pagkain mo. Sensya ka na kung nauubos ko lalo pag asar ako sa customer ko. Hehe. Good luck sa plans mo of going to the States. At last makakasama mo na fellow Caucasians mo. Keep in touch. Ü

Dyan - Salamat sa pagbigay mo sakin nun nung SIL mo nung aug 3. It was my son’s birthday. It meant a lot to me. Thanks for being kind. Ingat ka ke Lester. Hehe.

Vic - ‘Pre, good luck sa mga plano mo sa buhay at sa pagweweights mo. Baka sumobra laki ng dibdib mo nyan. Wag ka magfocus sa isang part lang ng katawan. Baka lumaki nga dibdib mo pero lumiit naman ano mo. Wala rin. Wala kang magiging syota. Ü

Jasper - Hi! Nag-usap ba tayo ever? Hehe. Di tayo masyado close pero salamat na din sa mga naitulong mo sa team lalo pag magdedecorate ng kung anu-ano.

Mitch - Kumusta Lola? Sayang nahuli ka lang. Ikaw sana ang aking yakap-yakap. We had something special going on between us. Bwahahahaha! Joke. Good luck with your trainees. Sana makahanap ka na ng papa.

Nova - Thanks for being a very kind and considerate QA. You’re the kind of QA who looks at the bigger picture. Yung totality ng call. You don’t focus on minor details. We appreciate you because you THINK LIKE AN AGENT. You UNDERSTAND what the agent goes through during a call. We were lucky to have you as our QA for quite a while. Thank you.

Betchang - Salamat sa words of wisdom mo. Meron ba? Puro pambababae ata alam mo. Hehe. Ingatan mo yang mga bata mo. Stay neutral especially during these times na merong mga problema. Maaayos din naman mga yan basta tama ang proseso at hindi personalan ang banatan. Salamat sa mga payo. I’ll keep them in mind.

Des - TL! Tingnan mo nga naman. Pareho lang nating best friend si Jerus but look where we are now. TL ka na. TSR3 ako. Si Jerus? Ayun nagcocols. Hahaha! How the tables have turned. Seriously, salamat sa lahat ng nagawa mo at paghihirap para sa team at sa program. Alam ko minsan gusto mo na bumigay with all the work that you’re doing tapos ang liit pa rin ng sinasahod mo. Sensya na sa mga sakit ng ulo mo minsan samin, sakin. I appreciate everything you’ve done for us. Alam ko you did your best. But I guess it’s really time for me to go. No one can question your integrity as a TL dahil alam ko ginawa mo lang trabaho mo as fairly as possible. Pagpatuloy mo lang ginagawa mo. As long as you know that you’re doing the right thing then don’t mind what other people think. You deserve to be where you are right now. You don’t deserve the way that you’re being treated. Kung me kelangan ka, wag lang pera dahil matagal ako magbabakasyon, text ka lang. Thanks ulit sa lahat. Ü

TL Anna - TL, sensya na dahil yun pa din tawag ko sayo kahit alam kong SOIC ka na. Miss na miss ka na namin kahit kumain lang tayo recently. Mula ng nawala ka nagbago na lahat ditto. Marami na nagresign because they’re not very happy with the program. Ibang-iba nung ikaw nagpapatakbo. Things would have turned out differently if you were still here. But we had to accept that change. Di naman talaga habambuhay tayo-tayo magkakasama sa team. We’re happy that you got promoted. You know, Dek often told us that he was on our side. Kakampi daw namin sya. The problem is we never felt it. You never told us that you were on our side. You never had to. We always knew that you were. You were willing to take the heat for us, basta hindi sobra-sobrang kagaguhan na ginawa namin. Dun ka namin namimiss. Pasensya na TL dahil sabit na naman ako. I’m sure you’re disappointed. Pero wag ka mag-alala. I’ll make you proud. I learned my lesson. Salamat sa mga payo. Stay cool. Ü

P.S. Sana wala ako nakalimutan. Hehe. Pahinga muna ko guys and gals. For donations (pambili ko ng Nintendo Wii habang nakatambay sa bahay) you can reach me through my cell phone numbers: 0918-5018983/ 0906-4634817/ 09063038745 or email me at buratsky@gmail.com <mailto:buratsky@gmail.com> Seriously, a text or email from you guys saying “hi” is enough for me. Thanks.

deal or no deal

I've seen today's episode of deal or no deal and the player just won 1,250,000 pesos. he chose number 5 as his lucky number. he said he chose number 5 since it's his younger brother's birthday who already passed away and he dreamed of his brother the other day. also one sign that made him took number 5 as the lucky number was that he found a 5 peso coin in the abs cbn compound. he was offered 1,250,000 and he made a deal with it. as what would Kris says to her players " where will your fate bring you" and " which one will you chose is it the peace of mind for having a lower amount of money or regrets that you should have accepted the offer of lower amount than chosing the wrong decision"

butch's daughter

just last friday that i've heard the news that the 11 years old daughter of butch, one of batchmates when i was hired in etel, died because of dengue. actually two of his siblings was confined in the hospital because of dengue. luckily the younger brother survive dengue due to obvious symptoms. unfortunately the eldest did not survive since there was no signs of dengue like the others because in her case it was internal accumulation of fluid around the heart that force her heart to have difficulty in pumping blood. if only she was able to breathe a few minutes she would have escaped death. but maybe it was her time to that God took her life away from this world.

we went to the wake with some friends and spent few hours with butch. late in the afternoon some of his friends and relatives arrive to spend sometime. TL Ruwi bought a tarpoline of clarrise, butch's daughter, that reminds him more of his daughter so much. he had fallen into tears seeing the picture of her daughter on a big tarpoline. it's hard for one to have lost member of there family but that's life. we all are going to the same direction only that others will have to go ahead of us. we don't know when will be our time but it's better to be prepared. so how prepared are we? are we prepared now or do we still have to wait for tomorrow to prepare?
