Birth of ATO Uno Animo

Congratulations to the ATO Reactive team!!! We celebrated our 6th month as members of the Account Takeover Team last March 2. This also marked our regularization, meaning increase in our salary.(YAY!! BATCH 7!!!)

We also won the Superbowl contest in our account since we met our metrics every week. Kudos!!! Amidst the success, unfortunately, there are intrigues and controversies. I'm just glad that even though we don't see one another everyday, everyone's just there to support one another. Thus, the birth of our team name, UNO ANIMO (Latin, meaning "with one mind; unanimously". Pretty cool for a team name huh?
I LOVE THIS TEAM, MORE OF A FAMILY THAN A TEAM IN THE OFFICE. :)

Kumain kami sa Shakey's and mega picture taking. It was soooo much fun. Parang hindi matagal nagkita, parang kahapon lang.

After the celebration, Joel, RJ and I went to Gateway to watch the movie, "300". Astig yung movie. Magnificent cinematography. Juxtaposition of some sort. Libre ni Teddy bear. At the end of the movie, all I can say to RJ is: "Spartans are sooo hot!!" Hahaha.. You should watch it guys!!!

love myself


Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie

When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I'm lovin' what I see

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the
india arie

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but, what she knows
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the
game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change
but,Don't be offended this is all my opinion
ain't nothing that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with
y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cuz everything's gonna be all right

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie

Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Kristal and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your silicone I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be india arie


**i love this song the first time i heard it in Oprah (Love her...) This song is very timely since we are now in a time where fashion models, superstars and doctors have a say on who and what is acceptable. i don't have anything against beauty as I believe we human beings always aspire and struggle for perfection. but I wonder why never for fulfillment and peace and always end up with discontentment and worse, MISERY. Suicides and suicide attempts became rampant because of the feeling of not belonging anywhere or of not being loved at all.
