This made my night

CUSTOMER SERVICE

This has got to be one of the funniest I've heard of in a long time.  I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the WordPerfect Help Line which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say, the Help Desk employee was fired. However, he is currently suing the WordPerfect organization for "Termination without Cause." This is the actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee (now I know why they record these conversations).

"Rich Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, my name is Lori & I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
"The words went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmmm.  So what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's a blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
"Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
"Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
 "No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle, it's because it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes, the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power failure."
"A power...... a power failure?.... Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now".
"Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"

"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it.  Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose.  What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too f***ing stupid to own a computer."

HAHAHA. Nice

Craaaaaaaaap. Last normal high school day tomorrow!

Exactly a month from now, I will be on a plane to see my daddy-yo! Yahoo!

Last normal HS day..

BOOOOOO.

Funny how I super wanted this week to end already last Monday. I wanted to get it over and done with. But then, as the week was ending, I didn't want it to end anymore. Tss, Freak.

Last Wednesday and Thursday, we had free CLE periods. But then, we were all senti and shit coz we were saying what we'll miss about the class. *all curse words come out* It's hard to put that into words ah. REALLY. So what did I say?

Marj: " I'm going to miss..." *stutters* "basta.. each and everyone" *starts to cry* "it's hard eh... basta, everyone. There." *more tears*
Random people: “Marj is so senti”
                           “Awww…”

                           “You’re gonna make me cry!!”

Haha. I love it.

Seriously though, I'll miss a lot of things about my class. No else can be the Kahunas except us. So those freshies who are planning to call themsleves Kahunas when we leave, WEH. Haha! Anyway, here's a list of the stuff I'll miss:

Ø      going in classroom in the morning then you see the same early people. Lialb, Andymac, Andy Ng, Marga, Marnee, etc.

Ø       eating Eunice's lunch during recess.
 Ø        Lialb's iced tea.
Ø       Talking and not listening during Physics time.
Ø       Writing on Tet’s notebook.
Ø       Thinking of songs all day just so I can write something on Tet’s notebook the next day
Ø       Giving away paper when there’s a quiz. (PARASITES!! WAHAHAHA!)
Ø       Doing Physics homework during Physics period.
Ø       Colleen’s Pinoy recitation answers
Ø       Laughtrip math time with Ms. Luna
Ø       Getting nervous during English (haha)
Ø       “Cam-beaux-deeah” by Sir Rod
Ø       impromptu skits à ANYTIME OF THE DAY. English word for the day, Pinoy talasalitaan or lunch gaguhan with Jiv, Pata and anyone else who wants to join in. Haha!
Ø       Bevy bonding moments
Ø       Practicing for presentations
Ø       Having Kahuna merchandise made. Haha!

Those are the ones I can remember now.. By the way, I'm not crying. Nyahaha! If anyone (from IV-3) can add to my list, comment!

CONGRATULATIONS TO MY LOVE, MEG PANOPIO! SHE'S ONE OF THE 10 OUTSTANDING STUDENTS OF MAKATI! I'M SO DAMN PROUD OF HER! LOVE YOU BABE!

Raina, Anaj and I attended the ceremony in PCI bank yesterday. All of their speeches were really good! I loved Meg's though! Very nice!

After that, Raina and I were dropped off at school coz Aina left her stuff there. We changed then walked to Kat's house. We came at 9 and only Carrie, Pia, Michelle, Jiv, Pasia, Patb and Kat were there. Great. So Pia called sila Berta to come and we played "cards". They wanted me to get drunk. Boo. I hate Asahi! Ekk. But the game was cool. Maybe we'll play it again soon. we were all just chilling, learning poker, drinking, dancing, watched our winning routine, etc. When Nica came, drinking was THE thing! I love Coco Lychee Nica and Naughty Nica! AHHHH! The best! I wasn't tipsy or anything but I was speaking in a weird manner.. But then I wasn't feeling hilo or anything. It was just the way I was talking. GIA GOT DRUNK! WOOHOO! Haha!

Awww. Whatta fun day.

It's official

I am not a high school student anymore. All I have to do is pass all my subjects,  march up that stage and get my diploma. YAHOO!  College na 'toh!

This means I won't see the same people everyday anymore. Pata kasi eh! Super senti kanina! She wanted to cry after the Physics test. We had our last class picture "as high school" students earlier. I mean... It's just graduation till were not NOT in high school anymore. Ahh. I don't get myself anymore. Is there an "I-miss-high-school-even-if-it's-not-yet-over" syndrome?  

One person will surely get what I'm saying... Tina?  

DAMN.. How schizo can I get? Haha. Ohwel carousel.

But since it's our last day of tests today, it means that pre-ball is TOMORROW! YEAAAAAAH! I'm so excited!! I can't even pinpoint the main reason why.. Nyahaha. Labo!  Time to get drunk!

A tribute to the greatest class, IV - 3 KAHUNAS

     class pictures 

A tribute to the greatest class, the IV - 3 kahunas..

Because we had a batch recollection yesterday, I was reminded all the more of how much I will miss each and every person in our class. It's crazy how fast 2 years of being together seem to just pass by. Since I made an entry already about the stuff I will miss about the class as a whole, I will now make a tribute to each person because our class wouldn't have been the same if one person is missing. (That’s why we still miss Abbey! ) So anyway.. I may not be each person's best friend but as cliché as it may sound, you guys will always have a friend in me. *toy story theme song playing at the background* HAHA. Sorry... I don't want this to be super serious or else my sister will find me weird just crying alone in front of the PC.

By class numbers na 'toh! Haha.

  1. Pata - I will miss having someone to confide in. You will always be my perpetual living conscience since you always make me guilty and think of *ehem* other possibilities. I will miss just hanging out and laughing about anything with you. Oh yeah, I’ll miss your impromptu skits that always make my day. We can probably make an hour-long compilation of all your skits. Haha!
  2. Eunice – I will miss your facial expressions and hirits any time of the day.. May it be English (best friend! Haha!) or any othe subject for that matter. I will miss impromptu gimmicks with you.. Especially eating and pigging out. I will miss your delicious lunch, especially your kakaibang rice. I will miss teasing you to *ehem*. (He reads my blog eh. Haha!)
  3. Jennica – I will miss being your backmate… “Nagbasa ka ng Fili?” questions then we start cramming. I’ll miss being introduced to Martin everytime I see him. Haha! I will surely miss your creative hand.. You will always be the “drawer” and I will be the “explainer.” I will miss being able to tap you when I space out during class and ask what the heck the class is talking about.
  4. Robin – Oh man! I will miss A LOT about this girl. 4 years of high school will never be the same without her. My forever classmate, math seatmate, scba partner, etc. I will surely miss putting intonations into every Shakespeare choral, being able to compare math answers with you, you being my math tag team , teasing you to Carlo, asking you about anything under the sun, being log committee with you, doing physics homework during break (sounds dorky! Haha!) so that we have free time when we go home, drawing the school grounds, measuring every corner of AC, marking the floor with masking tape, EVERYTHING about log. I wouldn’t have done it without you darling! You rock!
  5. Lia – You and Macky will forever be my favorite couple! I will miss being able to approach you to rant about *ehem* boys. I’m so happy you found Macky.. I still have to find youknowwhat. Haha! I will miss being able to call you at anytime of the day to talk about anything! I will miss your laugh!! And the talasalitaans! (yeah right.) HAHA,
  6. Char – My fellow G! I will surely miss your OCness. You are auch a freak kasi eh! Numbering your pens pa! Haha! I bet everyone BUT you will be super sabog in college! I will miss being your secretary even if I barely did anything coz you were barely absent. I will not miss collecting reply slips though… That job you can have back. Haha! I will miss hugging you and always knowing that I can count on you for anything.. especially help with homework. Haha!
  7. Tet – I will miss teasing you with sila Pata as our foreigner classmate. Your nose is the best! J I will miss preparing sentences for words for the day with you so that Mrs. E and Ms. V never calls us unprepared (naks!). I will miss doing Physics homework with your during Math time, going down to buy food with you, the chocolates you give us!, having “car talk” with you…. And many more. But we’ll be blockmates in Ateneo anyway right? Haha!
  8. Ria – I will miss being able to talk to you about outrageous things. You never find me weird when I ask you questions about… Stuff. Sorry na! Curious eh! Haha! I will miss knowing that someone would want to eat my food when I don’t like it or someone to finish my food. Haha!
  9. Kris – I will miss talking to you about anything from clothes to diet foods. I will miss hearing your voice… Coz I just know it when you talk. Even if you whisper, I still know you’re talking. Haha! I will miss exchanging shoes with you, comparing clothes, exchanging name necklaces, etc. Oh yeah, I will miss saying “shhh” to you! Nyahaha! I know you hate it .
  10. Anna – I will miss your voice. Like Kris, I just know it when you’re the one talking or singing. I will miss you asking me “what’s your answer?” “what did you get?” (referring to physics answers. Haha!)
  11. Gayle – I will miss not having to ask anyone else but you for the meaning of words. You will forever be our one and only walking dictionary. I will miss your wailing to Pata about Gabriela and all of your other advocacies. Haha!
  12. CJ – The fashionista rocker… Love the headband darling! Haha! I will miss comparing math home works with you!
  13. Uniz – I will miss teasing you with sila Pata! I will miss it when you go “who has tissue?” coz you have to go. HAHA! I will miss your angas-ness!
  14. Zimri – I will miss taking pictures of you and picfesting with you! You are such a model, darling! Don’t forget me when you become famous! I was your first photographer! Haha!
  15. Tina – Crazy, silly secrets.. That actually says it all but since you and I are the only people who can understand that, I shall elaborate. I will miss being able to rant, talk, make kwento and laugh about anything with you. It’s a great thing to know that I have someone to share my stories right away with someone. I love it when we get excited about the same things! I will miss you borrowing my notes… You don’t take down notes kasi eh! Haha! Basta!! I will miss writing on each others’ notebooks, making little notes for each other.. Everything man! I will miss just hanging out with you!
  16. Isen – 5 words: I will miss your cooking! J
  17. Vera – You are the other person in the class who will surely be a model in the future! You are stick-thin dear! Magpataba ka naman! Haha! I will miss teasing you to your prom date even though I know you guys were never together. haha!
  18. Berta – The forever smiling gal! I will miss your smile!! Promise! I don’t think I’ll ever meet someone who, even if she’s mad and crying, can still put a smile on her face! And you’re laugh is contagious! Oh! And your uber hott butt! Haha! I bet we’ll all miss slapping your butt! Nyahaha!

  21. Lara – I will miss your.. bitchy-ness! It’s different eh when you’re being so sungit to everyone! It’s not the “crap I’m going to hate her for being a bitch” kind. It’s more like “haha! That’s SO Lara!”

  23. Colleen – My one and only secret crush keeper. Haha! We always tell each other our secret crushes.. We say secret because DUH no one else knows about it. May it be past or present. Mmm.. juicy issues! I will miss being able to tell you my secret crushes! But don’t worry, I will text you my new crushes in college! Nyahaha! We can share coz you’ll be in La Salle and I’ll be in Ateneo. Best of both worlds! Haha! I’ll miss you Paco! You know how I much I love you? No? I’ll prove to you… I remember pa your old number! 09176000715! Nyahaha!

I will also remember you as the very famous ECO GENIUS! No one will take your place! I will miss teasing you to your Indian-looking, Chinese promdate!
  28. Anela – “Guys, do you have money for the STEP box?” I will definitely not miss that! Haha! But I will surely miss your generosity… Especially with tissue. You are just one great person inside-out!
  29. Raina – Miss MME awardee! Even if you don’t get that award, screw the formality coz as Robin said: “that award was made for Raina!” I will miss seeing you bouncing in the corridors.. But I bet your new classmates in UP Manila will see a lot of that! Haha! I will miss missing you during lunch time coz you’re always busy running around school. I’ll miss running around school with you! Even if I did it like twice or 3 times lang. Haha! I miss your curls!! Have your hair curled again for college! All the boys will run after you! I will miss your charm and generosity with your precious free time.. Not a lot of people have to patience and love for other people that they’d sacrifice eating just so they could help others complete their work. I will miss teasing you to *insert name here* HAHAHA! Love you darling!
  30. Pia – I will miss your FAAAAAACE! It amazes me how you can make all kinds of facial expressions! I love it! I’ll miss comparing math answers with you also! I already miss Pep training!! Let’s have again! Haha! Just kidding!
  31. Pau – I will miss having sessions with you! Haha! It’s always fun teasing you about being high or being always late even if you live in the dorm or being sleepy all the time. You never fail to make me laugh with all your nonsense jokes and stories! Haha!
  32. Corinna – “You have the potential to be a great student!” OH YES. I agree! I miss asking you for answers to histo questions! And for any other matter in that case… You are just naturally smart that even if you sleep through class and left your brain in 2005, you still manage to get good grades.. Idol!
  33. Marj – I will miss being a KAHUNA
  34. Nicca – I will miss being LSS with you.. I’ll miss singing Crazy with you during Computer class. I’ll miss talking to each other through pen and paper.. I’ll miss always sitting in front of you during assemblies! But I will still see you around Ateneo diba?
  35. Camille – My forever partner in the front of the line! But now, we’re not the smallest anymore! YAY! Haha! I’ll miss having you as my constant partner… I’ll miss your perky-ness and hyper-ness anytime of the day!
  36. Jiv – My undying group mate in almost all the subjects! I’ll miss having impromptu gimmicks with you to either buy coffee in Starbucks or Holy Kettle Corn or just anything to eat. I will miss hanging out in your house like EVERY week. I will miss your mom’s spaghetti! Haha! I will miss your resourcefulness. You never cease to amaze me with your creativity with anything! I will miss going to Pep training with you, eating lunch with you everyday, going down to buy food with you, making you fix my bangs before training, etc. I just cannot pinpoint all the things that I will miss about you because HELLO?? 5 years of being classmates is just a long time! Haha! I love you deary!
  37. Pam V. – I will miss you hating my scent! Crazy how everyone likes it then when I sit beside you, you make me go away. L BOO. Haha! I will miss eating lunch with you during recess! And our Amici adventures! What happened to every Friday? Haha!
  38. Mady – I will miss hearing your mumble every time you talk.. I never get to understand what you’re saying right away. I always have to make you repeat it… Especially when you are talking in Filipino. Haha! I will miss your flash presentation too!
  39. Marga – I will miss your stories… Wait! What stories? You’re so quiet! Haha! I will miss you just listening to me when I blab about school! Haha!

Got home at around 3 am.. Had a good night! It was fun just hanging out and tripping on everyone.. Especially Jobett! Haha! Our dates clicked which was good too! Sucks that it's the last time we'd get to invite someone to get all dressed up with us. Maybe we'll have one just for ourselves? Haha.

TCCIC

During lunch, I was with my kada in the Assumpta Court eating lunch. We were just hanging out and talking about our Grade school days. We remembered how we used to write TCCIC (take care coz i care), JAPAN (just always pray at night), etc. before we end a letter. We were all laughing about how stupid they seem now.. We also talked about how people use LOL and LMAO a lot. So... We decided to make our own! Hahaha!

1. KMA - I said it meant "Kiss my ass" but then I remembered Raina... If she'll be one to use it, it'll probably mean "KISS ME ALREADY." HAHAHA! But then Jiv had a better idea but it fits Aina only. It's "KISS *TOOT*, AINA!" OH YES. You fill in what the *toot* is. Haha! We just LOVE teasing Aina.

2. MACI - This is a kada secret... But then again, if you want to know, you can ask any of us... We'll be nice enough to share it with you. Haha!

This is what we talk about when we have more than enough free time and we get all sabaw already. Haha! I love my girls!

2 more days

We're leaving in 2 days.. A 16 hour plane ride to see my daddy and all our other relatives. Am I excited? I dunno. I can't decide. Something inside me is hindering me from enjoying the trip.. Maybe it's the uncertainty of ever coming back. Wait, let me rephrase that.. It is the uncertainty of the trip. Haaay. My dad's undecided pa kasi eh. Ohwel..

Enough drama... I was out with my dear kabarkadas last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We were with Job, Mikey, Miggy and Diego last Tues. Watched Glory Road in Promenade then stayed in Floyd's to hang out. Laughtrip grabe sila Mikey and Miggy! Haha! Brokeback na 'toh! The best!

Left for Bern's house at around 11ish.. We brought her home then we went to my house to get my bag and the game boards then we headed for Budda's house to get her stuff then finally, we were on our way home to Jiv's house.. Haha! Naging school bus yung van ni Jiv. Ahloveit! We slept at 1230.. Actually, Budda and I fell asleep at that time. Jiv, Aina and Cas watched Dirty Dancing pa til around 130 or 2. I woke up pa when they were talking about the underground Salsa club that Aina will put up.. It will be called RAINA NEGRA. Hahaha! You are all invited to the opening.

Bern came at 730 and woke us all up! She slapped Cas' butt real hard that it woke us all up! Hahaha! Then we ate, showered then left to pick Meg up. By 11, we arrived in Jiv's Tagaytay mansion.. It's the best hang out house in the world! Better than my family's rest house! Nyahaha!

We just ate, watched dvds, indulged in iced tea, and played board games all afternoon... When it was dark outside, Ate Tina brought out the Magic Mic and we were all singing at the top of our lungs.. Laughtrip! We dedicated a song pa to Budda as our "goodbye" song for her.. She taped it. then Jiv and I went off to the kitchen and made screw drivers! After that, we played the drinking card game.. I dunno what it's called talaga eh. Haha. I got the first consequence card and they told me at first to call Job then they changed their minds and told me to call Carlos then Meg suggested that I should just call Miggy and they ALL agreed. No choice, I called him. But luckily, he didn't pick up. HAHA. Then Budda had to call someone.. I cannot put his name here coz of vertain reasons. Then Meg had to call someone also.. Cannot reveal their names, sorry. Haha! Then lastly, Cas had to call Miggy.. But we all ended up talking to him! He's super laughtrip man! Haha! Bagong kabarkada! Niiiice

When the cruisers (Meg and I had 5, I think..) and the screwdriver was taking its effect, we played Taboo. More laughtrip moments man!

Raina: It is used by babies.. To protect babies.

Meg: Condom??

WAHAHAHA! Answer: Playpen

Raina: *says something about Globalization*

Marj: Global warming?

HAHAHA! SABAAAAAAW!

Meg: It's a chair with wheels..

Everyone: Wheelchair!

Meg: Ay shit. Taboo nga pala!

HAHAHA! Dami pang sablay moments but I'm lazy to put them all.

All pictures will be posted soon.. Hopefully tomorrow
