The Real Me

Writing this blog for Team Raymond is very hard, I cannot think of anything on how to describe this team, for i know , we are the best.

It has been 5 months since i've known this team ,but for me it was like i've been with them for a very long time. Seventeen agents and one TM, such a wonderful team-up. Different personalities, different likes, different views in life but hey, I am glad that we got together just fine. No angst, no jelousy, no squabbles. For we treated each other as one family.

One blood, One family, One goal. I really can not ask for more.. I am happy to belong to the greatest team ever! The flexible team ever, who have been to different LOB's of Microsoft, and still standing and proud to say that hey, "wherever you put us in, we know, we can make it bigtime".

Though there were tough times wherever we are being profiled to a new LOB, still everyone are willing to share their new learnings... and of course ate Ghe is always there to answer all our queries..daig pa VTL, naka smile pa yan ha....

Masaya! One thing na masasabi ko sa team na to, pinaka maingay sa mga team sa ops, dati akala natin nun nasa Abuse pa lang tayo na hindi masaya sa Live ID, tahimik, parang bawal mag salita, lahat seryoso habang nagpaprocess, yun pala hindi, wala pala yun kung san man tayo mapunta, dahil tayo na mismo, nasa atin kung magiging masaya tayo, and we chose that, wala naman umapela eh, hahaha, we were the noisy - happy team, coolest team ever. Lokohan, kantyawan ...kulitan para lang magising.:..at syempre andyan din ang team support lalo na pag Q.A time na, "Did not Pass" waaaah, sakit sa dibdib, pero andyan kayu para sabihin na, " ok lang yan, it's not your day :D" at pag "Pass" palakpakan. Iba kase ang feeling, overwhelming , mararamdaman mo talaga ang concern sa bawat isa, lalo na pag gigisahin ka na ni sir.. "Bakit? anong ginawa mo? Inaantok ka ba? " hehehhe the usual question, pero syempre pagkatapos nun oks na lahat, you just have to promise na you will improve the next time around, na ginagawa naman natin, not just for us, but for the whole team. Dahil points ng isa, points ng lahat. :D

"Ang laki ng hotdog ko!, Sino may gusto ng hotdog ko? Jack gusto mo?" eeeew, di ko yan makakalimutan syempre sino pa ba , kundi si sir Raymond, laging hotdog ang baon hehehhe.

"Tess oh!," "tingnan mo na tong akin" sabi ni chard para ma check ni ate Tess ang Kronos niya. at
"Jack! padaplis! hehe" hmmmm pasimple ni chard... nood daw sila sine hehehe...

"Jack! kailan ka magpapa canton?" at "Sir o!!! - sabi ng pinakamakulit at maingay na si Den
at xempre ang "tender bear " ni den courtesy of JP....kalurkey!!!

at pag dating ni sir sa station nya- "Kronos POC?, tracker POC, ok na? Update POC, meron ba? ghe?"
kaw na puro POC , hehehe pero syempre, it thought us how to be responsible enough sa mga task na binigay satin...

At ang pinaka malupit... "Guys! huddle! with matching come closer, closer pa" oh ha... pero masaya, lahat ng to, hindi ko makakalimutan...

, xempre si Jack! na super kulit sa kakwelahan!with matching pasayaw sayaw pa at ang lines na "hindi kami mga robot'" .. naks...

Isa pa tong si Rice! hinarass ako nung last day ko,, di ko akalain, daming tanung!!! haahha,, i will miss you boo**ie! hihihi

Mamimiss ko ang sopas time namin ni ate tess... :C

at marami pang iba...

And now, the time has come, ayaw man natin mangyari, pero hindi naman kayang pigilan, masyado yata silang na threathen at pinaghiwalay ang best team ever!.. I may never understand, but i am learning to accept.. Pinaghiwahiwalay na tayo, siguro para magkaron ng best agent sa mga team na lilipatan natin, hahahha :D Life is what it is and I cannot change it. I am Learning to go on and do what i can to make the best of it...

Parting time is what I really hate the most, maybe God has His own reason why these happened, we may not grow together as a team now, but forever in our hearts we will remain as friends even we're apart..

Maraming salamat sa lahat, sa walang humpay na kwentuhan at tawanan, iyakan from time to time, na nagpatunay kung gaano katatag ang samahn ng bawat isa... surely i will miss team Raymond..

I will never say goodbye because goodbye means forever. I will only say see ya later which means sooner or later.

See you in Libis! :D

"When you run so fast to get somewhere, you missed the fun of getting there... life is not a race, so take it slower... hear the music before the song is over."

I had the chance to join my friends on a backpack adventure to San Antonio Zambales, a three and a half hour drive from Monumento Caloocan via Victory liner last Saturday, Sept. 17, 2011.

We were ten lucky adventurers, who witnessed one of the spectacular creations of God, the beauty of nature : experienced joy , fun , and laughter as well as established camaraderie that tied the bond of friendship among us. Five (5) of them are my friends from Stream: Nadz, Paule, Roxanne , Anne and Grace and four (4) from Accenture: Mamarhu, Coleth, Lian and Michelle (Nadz friends, then eventually became ours as well).

My friends and I met at Boogies (in Shaw) then waited for Anne until 10 pm. We've decided to ride a taxi from Shaw to Caloocan to beat the time, we needed to be there by 11 pm. Luckily as what Nadz predicted we just arrived on time, as the bus was about to go.We paid the Taxi 205.00

Pag akyat sa bus, paunahan na sa pag-upo sa may tabi ng bintana, but unfortunately, all seats by the window were already taken . Hinintay ko pa namang makababa ng Pampanga yung katabi ko, tapos biglang tong si Nadz siya daw uupo dun... waaaaah, wala din.. We enjoyed the trip going there mostly kwentuhan at tawanan dahil sa umuugang upuan ni Paule hehehehe.

By 2: 30 am we were already in San Antonio Zambales, we stayed in front of the Munisipyo and killed time for two and a half hours more. Rox slept most of the time, even by just sitting on a chair, Panalo!!! By 5:00 am Nadz and his friends went to market to buy our food and other things that we needed before we headed to the island. But before that, a policeman approached us and asked if we were going to Anuwangin, when we said yes he gave us a paper to write our personal identifications.

We rode a trycicle for a 15 minute drive to Pundaquit, Zambales, where Mang Vic our bangkero was waiting. We paid the trycicle P30.00 each. Syempre pagdating dun, picture picture muna.. malakas ang alon, mang Vic said , that we have to let the rain passed , before we go. Ang galing ng mga bangkero, alam nila kung paulan na.

While we were on the boat on our way to Anuwangin we were awed by the beauty of the mountain, it has waterfalls everywhere. Someone asked, San kaya nanggagaling ang tubig sa mountain? Sabi naman ni Rox, sa ihi ng higante! hhahaha , San nga kaya?! :D

After 40 minutes, Yey! we were already in Anuwangin!

Hidden Paradise as I may call it, a virgin island hiding in Pundaquit Zambales, also known to people as Anawangin. Seeing the place makes me feel that I am on another country. What amazes me more was that , the island was dividied by fresh water coming from the mountain and salty water from the wide deep blue ocean. Additional attraction were the tall trees planted on the other side of the lake. God is really good in creating such a wonderful place.

Michelle had her tent and fixed it, while we rent a kubo for P500.00.

Mamarhu was the head of the kitchen. We get to cooked just like the old ways, sa kahoy, tapos hihipan mo yung apoy gamit un kawayan na may butas... Mamarhu cooked the best Tortang talong. Yum!! Tahimik lahat habang kumakain, ang dami namin gutom! We had inihaw na tilapia, inihaw na porkchop, adobong manok at baboy. At dahil wala pang kumukuha ng isda, Paule asked "pwede bang kainin to tilapia? We said yes, then he replied, akalo ko display lang! Palusot pa eh! hahahaha

cooking just like the old times- cge rox hipan pa ....

After the hearty meal, picture picture muna sa lake, then tinawag na nila kmi to start the real adventure.. we went to the other side of the island near the mountain, picture picture, then nagulat na lang ako kase aakyat daw kami. Syempre nagdadalawang isip ang lola mo , coz i'm afraid of heights!!! What duh!!, nakaakyat na sila, ako nalng naiwan then Nadz and Paule. Grabe!!! It was my first time na umakyat ng mountain. Super kitid ng daan at madulas pa, things were running on my mind, i am so damn nervous, then there was this place na walang bato, i was so afraid to move.. Nadz, left us to looked for our friends who were ahead of us. He left me and Paule for almost 5 minutes, and i thought that was the last minute of my life, super ngalay na ko, di naman ako makagalaw kase baka mahulog ako, pag ginagalaw ko paa ko nadudulas sia sa lupa,,, waaaah, then sabi ni Paule," mali si Nad dapat di nia tau iniwan,"ngaun pag naalala ko yun natatawa na lang ako.. hehehehe... Paule was also tired at muntik na ring madulas, at that moment, habang wala si Nadz, tahimik lang kami ni Paule, for me everything was black and white, things went running on my mind, akala ko katapusan ko na..naisip ko kung tatawag pa sila ng tulong para kunin ako after two hours pa yun, hehehe,,, i thought that i would never get to see my family again, flashes of scenes, happy moments, things that i still wanted to do, things that might still happen in my life if hindi ako mahulogsa baba, many things, grabe! ganun pala talaga yun!. ibang iba yung feeling, maybe other people won't understand me why, madali kase ko malula coz of vertigo. Even panoramic escalator takot ako eh hehehe... Then Nadz came and helped us moved. he kept on saying, Bato bato.. damo.. damo.. on me to keep my feet on the stones and hold on to the grasses. I was so scared and grateful as well coz we made it!!! Even with lots of bruises, yes i made it!!! Thanks to Nadz and Paule who kept on their patience. Though when i reached the top, the feeling was different, as i see the beautiful scenery, tiredness was paid off. Then when they said we were going down, nagulat ako, dun ulit ang daan.waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, huhuhu, medyo madali na bumaba, and i know pagod na si Nadz sa pag alalay, kakahiya na pero wala akong magagawa, i want to live hehehehe

Kudos! to Anne, Rox and grace, thay made it ng sila lang, Pati na sina mamarhu, hehehe.. while we were on the train in manila, sabi ba naman ni Grace kung nahulog daw ako, siguro ako daw ung first na manghihila sa ibang hikers. weh!! bad hahahah ;D It was absolutely a mind boggling experience for me.
<><><><><><><> <><><><><><><>

We did it! We did it! Hurrraaaay!!!!

<><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><>

Yey!!

<><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><>

hurray!!

<><><><><><><><><><> <> ;

the whole gang

When we reached the water, Mamarhu , grace, Rox and I stayed for a while, kwentuhan to the max.Then we went to the beach and played with the big waves. Beating the big waves was so so fun!!nandyan ng maalis and damit , bumaba ang short at tumalsik sa lakas ng alon! Parang mga bata lang, precious happy moments with them..

After mapagod sa pagsalubong sa mga alon, as usual natulog muna si Rox, ako naman sa kubo, maaga silang nag dinner , bago magdilim , dahil walang kuryente. We had bonfire, then tagay session, special part was the question and answer portion, but what happened in Anuwangin, stays in anuwangin.. hehehehehe sorry, i can't tell... We went to sleep at around 11: 30 pm

<><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><>

the birthday girl anne & Nadz ang taga tagay

Next morning, bayaran na! hahaha our sharing was P600.00 each for the food, boat entrance in anuwangin (100) cooking charges (150, we borrowed kawali and other plates)

By 7:30 am we were on our way to Pundaquit. We rode a bus bound to Olongapo, then transferred to another bound to Caloocan.

It was really a great experience. An experience i would never trade for anything. I was lucky to be with these great guys and still looking forward for another adventure with them.. wag lang aakyat ng bundok,, pass ako dun hehehe :D

Thank you so much!

Every minute counts, never waste an oppurtunity to be with the people you love and care about, there you will know that happiness can be found even in simple things you never can imagine!. Now i know, that there are other things i can do, though it would still take me time , to think if im going to climb a mountain again, yet i know i've conquered my FEAR! yeah!!! :D
