He is not a teacher, but he taught me ABC's and 123s,
he is my mentor when I was tasked to do a speech at the age of 5,
He encourages us to be the best in school but he puts no pressure at all,
He teaches us to be hopeful and not to be easily discouraged in life.
He doesn't Nag,
when he gets mad, he just tells me what I did was wrong.
He always reminds me to pray whenever problems come our way.
Words are not enough to describe how lucky I am to have him in my life,
So caring, so loving,
My Dad, My first Love.
To my papa, i can't give a more precious gift than my deepest love. God knows how gratefuk I am for giving me father like you. You may not read this, but I want to tell the whole universe, that I am blessed with a wonderful father.
iloveu papsie.. :)
Happy birthday!!!!

Giving Satisfaction to the Unsatisfied
It has been one year and seven months since I've shifted my career, from an ISO staff to a Purchaser. At first, it was quite a difficult adjustment. But, as days passed, I've learned to love my job. Previously, one of our campaigns to our colleagues in the company is CUSTOMER SATISFACTION to both Internal and External Customers. It is how we meet and even exceed our customers requirements and expectations. I have never forgotten this concept even if I have made a big career shift because I know anywhere I go and whatever I do, this is very applicable. In fact, most of the time, I apply this to my current work.
But, lately, something happened and it made me realized that you really can't please everybody. I really got pissed off to a colleague who asked me a favor. She requested office supplies and asked me the status of her PR (Purchase Request). I gave her an update and even the details of it so that it would be easier for her to claim the items at the warehouse. She then asked me to print the PO (Purhcase Order). Unfortunately, it took me quite awhile to print because of sytem error. Then, that girl nagged at me why it took me so long and that she still has to distribute the supplies. I commented her being so demanding and told her she's not my only customer and I have so many urgent things to attend to. What pissed me off so much because she uttered words that hurts me a lot because I feel I don't deserve to be told as such. In the first place, she's not my boss, she's not even at higher ranks, she's just a clerk. I don't intend to put her down or to clerks out there, but what I want to emphasize, she definitely has no right to criticize me as bad as she did. As far as I know, I have extended my efforts of giving her requests and yet, I'll be treated this way. So unfair, unreasonable and so brat of her! I have lost my temper and patience because of that incident. Worst, I got stressed and hard time going to sleep because her words keep bothering me. Then, I've realized I could have opted not to print her requests because she can actually view in our online system the status and other details. But, because I want to establish good working relationship and satisfy them I grant their favors and requests. Maybe, there are just some people whose satisfaction level is so high. And, she's one of them. I pitty her for that because the person who doesn't know how to appreciate little things is not being appreciated at all.

My First
As they say, there's always a first time..my first post and blog account. =) I've been invited by a friend to start making blogs because she is enjoying it so much now. She's sharing to me the good news of blogging. It awakens my interest aside from the fact that i love writing. Actually, I used to think, I don't have talents, not even one. I was insecure then, but my husband always believed in my craft. He pushes me to develop my skill in writing especially in literary articles. He gave me confidence that I can make it if only i have to believe in myself. Thanks to him that I'm starting this one now.
Let me share with you my passion in writing. I've been married for just 2 months but my hubby and I had been together for more that a decade now. No, not what you think "we're living in", but we're sweethearts for ten years. And in those years, he has kept all my letters and poems. I think, I can't count them with my hands and feet combined. =) You know why? Because If we have petty quarrels, I write my anger and frustrations through poems. Also, if I'm overwhelmed with happiness, I show them through writing. And, if there's special occassions like birthdays, anniversaries and the like, I write poems dedicated to him, especially if i don't have money to buy gift. For me, my poems handed to him in customized packaging, is sweeter than any thing bought in the malls. It's one of a kind and comes from the heart. For so many years, he once teased me, "You're so unfair baby because you can easily make poems as a gift. But as for me, I should save money because i don't have an alternative."
Now, I thank God for this gift. =)
