Last week, hubby and I got to watch Knight and Day because we used the SM Movie passes that I won from an online contest of Red Mobile. Well, technically its is more of a raffle rather than a contest. Facebook followers of Red Mobile were asked to answer something. Two days after I left my comment I got a message in Facebook stating that I won and that I need to provide them with my address and contact details so they can send over the tickets.

Last week, I won another contest! They merely asked which team you are routing for – Edward or Jacob. Well of course I said I love Jacob. Lo and behold! I got another message from them telling me that I won again! I was absolutely thrilled!! But beyond winning, I was thrilled that God knew I wanted to watch that movie and had other money matters I needed to prioritize. In fact last week, during the first day showing of Eclipse hubby and I went to SM hoping we could use the pass we got before, but we were told we can only use it once the movie has been shown for already a week. And that’s how we ended up watching Knight and Day. But well, all’s good since hubby and I had a great time still. And well, God is spoiling me lately, so He got me these movie passes for Eclipse this time. Thank you God and thank you Red Mobile!

Back in the time when I was still working in the BPO industry, I’ve heard numerous stories from representatives, from the mundane to the downright horrendous stories as to why they were absent. Some are completely creative, some are habitually absent because of family issues, and some due to health concern. I remember one rep who became the topic of a hot debate in one of our management meetings. She apparently used up all possible health reasons she could think of just to have her poor team lead excuse her absence. Apparently, she the only things we thought she wasn’t able to use is athlete’s foot and hemorrhoid. Anyway, she cried her way back to work when she did a drama special in front of the senior manager (who could barely speak English! but that’ll be another story.) and had her sweet revenge on her team lead when she got her termination revoked by the senior manager. Later on my co-team lead, got her vindication when the problem agent, finally went on AWOL because she got another call center job in the Middle East.

And yes it’s another blog! When I found out that there is a .info sale at godaddy.com, I went berserk and got into a domain name shopping frenzy! I bought hubby 2 domains, and 4 other domains for me. At the moment, the others are still waiting to be fixed, where as the first one I decided to take care of is still half-done.

Anyway, I’m hoping you guys can spare some time and try to take a look at my other blog. I’m hoping to get a PR for this blog real soon. It is a goal blog, one that is aimed to motivate me in completely changing into a healthy lifestyle. Please check out Projectprettyandfab.info when you have time friends. I’d really appreciate it.
