--Jumpstart.

I'm back again. I promise myself to blog a little often than usual.Now that I'm completely floored by the House MD series, a lot of things in my head a rushing to be written without ado.

Life has been just quite well. I'm slowly managing how to stop stalling paper works. I'd be honest enough to admit that I am awful at it. Everyday I pull up my little tracker and cross out the stuffs I am supposed to do. Now, my team is on a training, learning cultures, mores and tradition we have not really experience first hand.This initiative is done to be able to bridge the gap between how it is knowing how Canadian culture goes comparing to Filipino culture. They've set up different workshop such as Amazing Race game, classroom activities and watching a TV series called "Outsourced: One thing I have noticed is the natural bonding that this workshop has developed between each members of the team. We got to find out little something from each of them, jokes they can share after and memories to remember as we go along. Working in a call center has been my longest job ever, and I found life and value in it. I have learned to transform each experiences into another with deeper meaning. A lot of people has allowed this industry to jeopardize their health, as they smoke and drink and loaf around sans sleep. Take coffee than water in every interval of break instead of drinking water or just take as breather. And when giving time to relax during team buildings, they would choose to prohibit themselves from coming because the guilt of spending time outside of family premise is an act of selfishness...which is not. Yet, when they go drink all night, smoke all packs of ciggies, it isn't at all an act of selfishness? Some have even gotten to wrong relationship, casual dating with sex and some to the worst.

It's approaching seven years now, and I am happy to be able to manage how to avoid acquiring these vices. I dont find pleasure smoking, and anytime I smell it, my head thumps,the pungent taste of liquor, coffee til you drop and the likes. I've other sisters who've found career in BPO, they have even managed to climb up to the promotion ladder without having to witness them turn into someone like those stereotypes.

I'm lucky that at an early age I was taught what self esteem and self worthiness is all about. To my parents, I love you the most!
