Unexpected Appreciation!

With my job, I'm so used in talking to other people about their problems, complaints, expectations and stuff. People who are irate, upset, frustrated or whatever would you call it is a usual thing. However, someone called in last 9th of May 2010, 10:47 PM EST and changed my way of thinking.

8255123456789012 Susan called in. She doesn't seem to be so nice over the phone, she narrated how the problem started and how was it solved. She gave us a ring to let us know that she is thankful for the service and for the people who helped her all through her bad experience with the company. She did not call because of another problem nor to complain but rather to let us know that our job is appreciated. What a customer! I was so touched and it was the warmest thank you from a customer. It made my day. I realized that work is not just about the upset people calling us, someone out there appreciates the thing that we do. Love it. She made me realized that i should be thankful with the help that i am receiving from other people, no matter how small it is, it is an effort from someone, it is not insignificant.

Election 2010

Up until now I'm still confused who should I vote this coming May 10, 2010 National Elections. At least now my confusion was down to two. Yeha, you heard it right, I'm still thinking who among my two presidential candidates should I entrust the next six years of my country. I dunno, but I'm so excited to vote not only to exercise my right of freedom but somehow, voting next month is like hoping for a better tomorrow. You guys should decide to vote, to be involved, para pwede kang magreklamo. hehe! Act Now! Kudos!

Bagyong Ondoy sa Pinas

It was a disaster. Once again, we faced another challenge from nature. I was one of the lucky people who did not experience the scenario above, and i keep on thanking God. I feel for my fellow Filipino. I was a bit worried and scared about the weather and i can't imagine how much more are the people in the calamity area. I wish a could do small things for them, i just prayed. While watching the news on tv i feel so overwhelmed because of the help coming from different people, different sectors, different companies. Ang Pilipino nga naman, kahit gano kakuripot, lumalabas ang pera sa oras ng pagtutulungan. I was and am so proud that I am a Filipino specially in times like this. People help each other without expecting anything in return. Kahit gano kakonti they make it a point na naiishare nila sa iba. Ansarap sa pakiramdam kapag nagtutulungan. Once again we proved the world how united we are. I knew it from the start, and I am confident about it, we can make it through the storm. Nakabangon tayo dati, makakabangon tayo ulit. Kudos! =)) My prayers for those who lost their loved ones, houses and valuable possession cause of the tragedy, for those who are still coping. Let's continue hoping for a better tomorrow while keeping our faith burning. God bless Philippines. God bless Filipinos.
