Last Saturday night we went to Ryan’s to check out Rockathon – a battle of the bands activity sponsored by the Xbox committee of Callbox. I realized that this was going to be the last party I’ll attend as a Callbox employee. I have resigned and my last day is going to be on the 4th of November. But I haven’t been to the office for a week now. I kind of miss my friends – especially Shey but I don’t miss being a telemarketer! Thank God I’m over that.

I went with Tim and my brother – Vinboy. I met up with Shey and Dianne. We gave all out support to our department’s band which is composed of Louie, Roger, Richard and Lynn. They were awesome and as expected they won. Of course – IT na guid na!

I’ll miss you guys. Text text lang ah.

Here are some of our photos:

As always, the drone of my job is constantly boring me. So I try finding ways to amuse myself.  Usually what I do is I just browse the internet for useless topics like celebrity gossip, read horror stories, jokes and other people’s blogs.

 

But today, I found a very fascinating distraction—interpreting the DTR mottos of my co-workers, particularly the people within my department. J

 

            Here are some of their mottos:

 

i had a wish that everything would turn out well in the end.. with all i have, i did what i thought was right.. i spoke words that i thought would heal and bring the truth to light.. but i fear that all i have said and done were all wrong for it seems that everything is lost.. with hopes of having a new start, instead, i brought the end.. but i still look forward to the bright side amidst hollowness and hurt, regret and self-pity.. i can only hope and wish..

It doesn’t matter what the other is being, doing, having, saying, wanting, demanding. It doesn’t matter what the other is thinking, expecting, planning. It only matters what you are being in relationship to that.

A person isn’t born with the intelligence to be with someone special, you learn it, and you fail in the path of life, but you don’t have to give up the chance to love.

                        –Vincent (The Jake Cuenca of IT)

 

It’s impossible to surpass those years that you’ve been together, those happy and sad memories that made both of you stronger. But that won’t stop me from loving you. That won’t stop me from believing that there are still chances. I can take the pain but what I can’t bear is you leaving me in between roads with no directions to go to.

ABBA and the Movie Mamma Mia!

I grew up listening to ABBA’s songs. Actually I grew up listening to the Beatles, the BeeGees, the Carpenters, Eagles, Chicago, Kenny Rogers, Dr. Hook and other popular bands in the 70s and 80s. My parents are big fans of classic country and rock bands, especially my father. The group I particularly like listening to is ABBA. I love their songs. Its not like the songs of today which have mostly ‘shallow’ lyrics. Their songs describe life. They talk about everything we go through everyday. People can “relate” to their songs. And I think that’s the reason why they became so popular during their time, that’s the 1970s and even up until now.

ABBA is a Swedish pop group composed of four members; two guys and two gals. They are Benny Andersson, Agnetha Faltskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Bjorn Ulvaeus. What I know about their group I learned from Papang. Benny Andersson actually co-produced the film version of the musical Mamma Mia! Thank God he did! :)

Mamma Mia made me feel good!

And based on Monica and the other movie-goers that watched the movie the same time as we did, they obviously enjoyed it too. And I based it on the reactions that I heard while Monica and I were on our way out.

We watched this movie last evening at SM City before our shift. I was with Monica because Tim’s at Cebu attending one of their company seminars. We opted for the last full show so we can come in on time for our shift which starts at 11 PM (Its 8 AM Pacific Standard Time). Mamma Mia! is a film adaptation of the West End stage musical, based on the songs of ABBA. The title of the film comes from the group’s 1975 chart-topper “Mamma Mia.” It was produced by Universal Pictures in partnership with Playtone and Littlestar.

Meryl Streep heads the cast of the film, playing the role of single mother Donna Sheridan. Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard play the three potential fathers to Donna’s daughter Sophie Amanda Seyfried. Imagine Meryl Streep’s “iciness” at The Devil Wears Prada and then imagine her singing, dancing and playing around. I really admire her versatility. And now imagine Pierce Brosnan’s “coolness” as the secret agent James Bond and doing the same things as Meryl in this movie. Plus Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard also romping around! God you’ll really get your money’s worth. I didn’t even know that these four actors can sing! Amanda Seyfried also did well as Sophie.

Today, I’m campaigning for everyone, particularly my officemates to watch this movie. They had to endure my ranting for the whole day especially Nang Cat and Abert who are both sitting beside me. Call me OA or whatever you like, basta nami guid ya ang Mamma Mia! ;)

You’ve got to watch it too to know what I mean and to know that I’m not over-exaggerating. You’ll miss 1/10 of your life if you won’t! ;)

Panawagan ky Nong Jeff!!!
