Sad to say so...

~~~

Extra ordinary excitement is what we feel whenever vacation is about to come... but in our case or rather should i say, in my case i'm not that excited... yah, of course i'm happy 'coz we will be seeing our families, but to contrary there are lots of things at the back of my mind...

A week from now we will be boarding a plane, 12 hours connecting flight... i know it will be tiring, but it doesn't matter just to be with our love ones...

~~~

NO text message/s received from them...

NO trace of concern and excitement shown by them...

NOBODY dare to ask, what time we will arrive...

NOBODY shows interest about our vacation...

~~~

Would they be glad to see us after a long time?

Would they be more excited to receive our humble pasalubongs?

Would they care enough to ask us if everything went well during our flight?

Would they love to catch up with all the events we missed?

~~~

What if.............................?

oh god, my head really spins...

Tears slowly drips to my cheeks...

My heart started to torn into pieces...

It's really hard to please everyone...

Do we have to beg, just to get a little importance?

We're not expecting anything extravagant or out of ordinary...

We just want to feel that we're well loved all this time...

~~~

Why?!?

Can anybody tell me WHY?

I know we have short comings and we're ready to rectify it...

Are we neglected because we're not from a famous country such as US of A?

Is that the reason why we doesn't deserve even a little value...

~~~

To be honest, i am expecting the most dramatic and worst vacation in my entire life...

I hope all my perceptions are wrong and later on will fade away...

Cross my fingers and hoping that everything will be well...

To Our Families, No Even If's and No Despite of's...

We LOVE YOU no matter what...

~~~
And how I wish......

WHY EMPLOYEES LEAVE ORGANISATIONS?

Azim Premji, CEO- Wipro Every company faces the problem of people leaving the company for better pay or profile.

-

Early this year, Mark, a senior software designer, got an offer from a prestigious international firm to work in its India operations developing specialized software. He was thrilled by the offer. He had heard a lot about the CEO. The salary was great. The company had all the right systems in place employee-friendly human resources (HR) policies, a spanking new office, and the very best technology, even a canteen that served superb food. Twice Mark was sent abroad for training. "My learning curve is the sharpest it's ever been," he said soon after he joined. Last week, less than eight months after he joined, Mark walked out of the job. Why did this talented employee leave ? Arun quit for the same reason that drives many good people away. The answer lies in one of the largest studies undertaken by the Gallup Organization. The study surveyed over a million employees and 80,000 managers and was published in a book called "First Break All The Rules". It came up with this surprising finding:

If you're losing good people, look to their immediate boss. Immediate boss is the reason people stay and thrive in an organization. And he 's the reason why people leave. When people leave they take knowledge, experience and contacts with them, straight to the competition. "People leave managers not companies," write the authors Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman. Mostly manager drives people away? HR experts say that of all the abuses, employees find humiliation the most intolerable. The first time, an employee may not leave,but a thought has been planted. The second time, that thought gets strengthened. The third time, he looks for another job. When people cannot retort openly in anger, they do so by passive aggression. By digging their heels in and slowing down. By doing only what they are told to do and no more. By omitting to give the boss crucial information. Dev says: "If you work for a jerk, you basically want to get him into trouble. You don 't have your heart and soul in the job." Different managers can stress out employees in different ways - by being too controlling, too suspicious, too pushy, too critical, but they forget that workers are not fixed assets, they are free agents. When this goes on too long, an employee will quit - often over a trivial issue. Talented men leave. Dead wood doesn't. "Jack Welch of GE once said. A company's value lies "between the ears of its employees".

After reading, i came to realize the reasons why i have moved a couple of times for the past 9 years... Since 1998 'til date, i have been with 7 different companies, still considerable though... Gaining friends was the best, but finding an awesome Boss is quite tough... Needless to say maybe few are lucky that their immediate boss/es are good enough...

-

At present i could simply say that my boss is kinda good though more often unpredictable... Before, as in few years back, he's considerably easy to approach or to deal with but since our petty-ugly fight things became difficult 'coz of the gap, a certain wall that keeps the distance between us... After the incident that happened, everyday seems to be a tough day... From then on, thoughts of What if's lingers in my head... So sad that things turn out in such a way that i have never imagined... anyways, GOD has his own plans why such incident took place... I believe that we're both trying and waiting who will first swallow his/her pride... knowing that he will not initiate that since he's the Boss and as we know they have the highest level of pride and ego... I have plans, i'm just waiting for the right chance --- hoping that it will come a little sooner...

-

On the lighter note, i am still happy and grateful for all the ups and falls in my life... in each fall i have learned to slowly stand up on my own...

End of March, we decide to sell the car, we post our add at Spinney's!!!
Exactly on April Fool's Day, my sistah got her driving license (mabrook!)...
since she's a new driver, she's eyeing for a 2nd hand car, so i did ask her if she's interested to buy our car... not even thinking twice and the fact that she knows how well my hubby takes good care of his car, she agreed to buy it ASAP...

Now, we're in panic, we have to get a new one before she finally take it from us...

-

Last week, we searched for his desired car...

after two days, we agreed to purchase M.L., we went back to the dealer...

good thing, the sales agent is a kabayan... we discussed all details and alas, the agent told us that we can collect our new M.L. on Saturday (07 Apr. '07)...

-

The most awaited day, my hubby was so excited and so am i...

Our loving baby VW Polo was taken by my sistah on Saturday Morning after dropping my hubby in the office...

-

Now the problem will be, how can we go to the dealer to pick-up the car?!?

It's actually a bit far and riding a cab will be costly...

Well, a good friend of my hubby offered us a lift (thanks N...)

So N, picked me up and then we fetch my excited hubby...

The release of the car was smooth except for the amount eror in the insurance policy

dunno if that was indeed a mistake, better check with the insurance company!!!

first hands on the wheel

officially we're driving our new beep--beep

Hop in and Enjoy the Ride!!!

What is the meaning of Easter?

~^~^~^~^~^~

While the focus was once on Easter Sunday, now it is on the Easter Bunny. But Easter Sunday is much more than a day of colorful plastic eggs and chocolate bunnies; it is in fact a day that left the world forever changed. It had been three days since Jesus had received the death penalty by popular vote. His friends and followers were devastated, as they had come to believe that He was not just an ordinary man, but the Son of God. He had performed miracles, healed every disease, and even brought a man back from the dead. On that third day—the day we now celebrate as Easter Sunday—His friends went to His grave, but instead of finding His body, they found an open tomb with no body in it. In fact, what they saw was an angel who told them, “Don’t be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He has been raised from the dead, just as He said it would happen” (Matthew 28:5, 6). Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday; now He offers to you the gift of eternal life and forgiveness of sins. This is the true story of Easter, and this salvation is for you.

Glory to GOD in the Highest!!!

The Big B and Little S...

Lord, if this is a sign for me to move on, let it be...

.

I’ve been working here for 3 years. Those years are full of adjustments. Ups and downs I may say... Nevertheless, I am confident to say that I’ve been a good employee, colleague and a friend to my co-workers. I’ve never been absent and maybe I’ve been late for sometime. I have tried my best to be as what they expected... I have tried to jive with the needs and wants of each and everyone. Nobody in this group can tell that I’ve been rude nor arrogant... I have been kind and sweet enough in everything I do and say. But I think they never counted it.

.

Today is the proof and finally I realize that what they said was true, “People don’t see the good things you have done, they will always peak on the negative side and then pull you down ‘till you can’t get on your feet”. This is what I have learned after an incident happened yesterday.
.
Yesterday was just an ordinary day I may say. Nothing much to do in the office, maintenance people also did some painting works in the office during working hours. Time was running too slow yesterday, we’ve been waiting for the clock to tick. It was a cloudy, windy and rainy day… Alas, finally the most awaited time has come, it's time to go…. As usual, I have to inform Big B that I will be leaving…
.
Little S: Bye (with my usual wave)
Big B: NO YOU CAN’T GO
Little S: Bye (still smiling and waving)
Big B: NOBODY CAN GO AS LONG AS I AM HERE STAYING
Little S: ?!?! (Surprise and don’t know what to say)
Big B: YOU HAVE TO STAY
Little S: I’ll just call my car lift and tell him to go
Big B: (High tone of voice calling my name)
Little S: (Turned my back away from him to return to my seat)
Big B: (Still shouting my name)
Little S: (Back on my seat, crying while pretending that I don’t hear anything)
Big B: (Came to my seat) WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, YOU CAN’T TAKE ANY JOKE

FROM ME ANYMORE? STOP THAT… YOU CAN GO
Little S: (My head bowed and still crying)
Big B: (Went back to his room with anger)
Little S: (Still trying to hold back my tears, but I can’t make it)
Big B: (Called my extension)
Little S: (Answered the phone) Yes Sir…
Big B: IF YOU CAN’T TAKE ANY JOKE FROM ME, STARTING TODAY I WILL
NOT CRACK ANY JOKE TO YOU…
Little S: Sorry….. (still crying)
Big B: FORGET YOUR SORRY, YOU CAN GO (Hanged the phone)
Little S: (I stood up, get my purse and without looking at him, I left the office)
.
I was surprise with those words he uttered, never expected that things will turn out that way… Honestly, I have tried to control my temper then, but unfortunately I can’t… I know it’s very shallow, well sorry but I can’t help it… This scene mostly happened (excluding the crying scene) and I am really fed up… I know he is the boss, but what the heck, give me the chance to be the boss of my own self after office hours… Hey Big B, if you can only give a damn to allow us to express our hurt feelings sometimes… Be considerately sensitive, not all people can play jokes with you anytime and the fact that your tone was so flat and there’s no trace on your face that you’re joking, who the hell can tell that you’re just kidding… don’t ever take away our rights as an employee, we’re also human, we also have feelings… Sometimes it’s hard to move my feet forward… If I’ll say my goodbyes after office, there are two things to expect, it’s either he will just nod or pissed my ass off… If I’ll run away after office without informing Big B, I am sure the next day he will ask me why I didn’t inform him that I’ll be leaving… Now, can somebody tell what to do in this kind of dilemma?!?

.

To be fair with Big B, he’s quite good but still be ready to expect the least expected… I’ve mentioned to Big B before that it’s really hard for me to differentiate when he’s joking and when he’s serious on what he is saying… Anyhoo, maybe he stands with the saying “THE BOSS IS ALWAYS RIGHT”… I think it would be better for him not to joke with me, at least I will know that he’s serious on the things he’s saying…
.
Today, he came early (as in surprisingly early, beyond his usual timings), he went to his room and shut the door close… what a crap… he then went out and pass by my table, As usual I greeted him Good Morning, well he just stared at me and never replied… and now he left for the day… what to do yani…
.
I am sure this will be settled, but when, that I don’t know… Though we can never win back the old ways we had...
