Kudos to me.. finally



Hold your thoughts, there! I'm not self-centered, egotistic or anything like it. I'm just happy today after my coaching session with my supervisor.

Got my stats for Week 1 of August (08/03-08/09), and I’m just ecstatic!! I’ve been struggling for months to get a decent number under my name. Finally!!!

CSAT: 78.57 (Target 77)
FTR: 85.71 (Target 76)
Quality: 85.00 (Target 80)
EPH: 8.20 (Target 7)

**to some, these numbers may not mean anything, but to me, these are the FRUITS of HARD (and I mean, haaaaard) labor, man. Hahaha…

Can I get a “Woot! Woot!”?!! =P

surprise treat from bubi

Sinorpresa ako ni Ceasar kahapon. =D Sinundo niya ako sa office at ON TIME siya para pumunta kami sa Robinson’s Galleria to have dinner in celebration of our 4th anniversary.

It was really such a pleasant surprise coz I know he really went out of his way to get there on time. He lacked sleep since Saturday coz we attended my Daddy’s 54th birthday celebration after both coming from our respective shifts.

We just walked around the mall first, just looking. I can’t really buy anything on impulse since I’m saving my money to buy my first-ever digital camera. (I have my eyes on the following: Canon Ixus 75/Ixus 80, Sony Cybershot w110 or Olympus FE320.) But it was still fun, we get to talk which we have not done much recently since the change in my schedule.

We decided to have dinner at Kenny Roger’s coz we’re both craving for roasted chicken. Di namin kasi kabisado yung mall kaya hindi na kami naghanap pa ng ibang resto na nag-se-serve ng roasted chicken. Haay, grabe busog kami. Looks can be really deceiving. Kala ko ang liit ng servings sa KR pero kakabusog din pala. After eating, we then ordered Josine’s dinner and went on window shopping.

I saw this FIC stall and I had the urge to buy their Pistachio ice cream and definitely, no regrets!! Love the taste and texture, although I would have enjoyed it more if I ate it while sitting since it kept me from checking out my favorite boutiques I saw while we were strolling.

We went to AstroWorld and found that the House DVDs and Planet Earth DVDs are both on sale. Aaarrrgh!! I’ve been wanting to buy those goodies for so long but I really find them too pricey then, until now, when all are for less than a thousand pesos each?!! That’s really a bargain – I’m going insane!! I really should make up my mind on what camera I should buy and where so I can move on to my next projects (books and DVDs).

We then went to National Bookstore and looked for any interesting book on sale, sadly none. But I think I’ll soon get a set of the Twilight series, about a vampire and a mortal in love and their struggles. It was announced this week, (days after Warner Bros. announced that The Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie’s debut was moved to July 2009 from November 2008 – super bummer!) that its first book’s movie version will be shown this November 2008 and was said to get the same attention as the Harry Potter series. (Of course, we have to wait and see.) I got excited when I heard that the actor who will be playing Edward Cullen’s character (the vampire) is Robert Pattinson, the same guy who played Cedric Diggory in the Goblet of Fire!! Such a hottie. =P

After rummaging through the pile of books at NBS, we realized that we have to go home since it was already half past seven and poor Josine, we have her dinner. (Bad big sister, bad!!!) We just made a stop at Le Couer de France to buy bread and off we went.

It was a tiring day from work and malling but it was worth all the energy spent. I realized that I’m blessed to have a best friend, barkada, boyfriend, confidante and critic – all rolled into my only Bubi Pachiez, Ceasar – coz we don’t get tired talking about anything under the sun, we have similar interests that keep us together and differences that make us unique and a mystery to each other.

@Ceasar: Thanks, baby for a wonderful 4th anniversary celebration! Love you!
