that was IT???

what happened to the 4th Harry Potter movie???!!!

Now that was anticlimactic...after the long wait and all, watching latest intallment of the movie rather burst my bubble. Granted that I slept through some scenes (I watched it after work and after a 2 bottles of beer from an afterwork bday celebration), I didn't miss much and I mean that both ways. I've read the book obviously and while some shortcuts from the book are forgivable there was just too many of them that the movie seems rushed and without direction. I wasn't too happy with the cinematography either, Harry's world is a magical place, the viewers should be awed by it. Instead it came out quite dingy and gritty, I don't know maybe the cinema I watched it on was at fault...the screen was too small and the seats were atrocious (not that they have anything to do with the movie's visuals). The colors weren't that crisp, they were outright boring. Am willing to give it a 2nd chance, I'll find a better cinema just to check if it looks better elsewhere...the theaters in smf are ok, no need to go to gateway and waste money.

----------------------------------
It just dawned on me that it really is almost Christmas. Time for Kris Kringle and whatnots. I was asked what I wanted for Christmas and I didn't have a ready answer. Well I do want a new fone, an ipod, a new pc monitor (coz this one's nearly busted), a digicam, a mouse that's not temperamental, a radio with tape deck and mp3/cd player...but those things I have to buy for myself they're not the type that someone gets for christmas, especially not for office kris kringle.

So I have to go for the usual...a book or a cd. Sigh, I think I better do some window shopping later.

flickr is busted

Today's shift was another one of those that'll make one think if their sanity is still intact. We had downtimes and systems problems galore...it was fun, half the night was spent goofing around...gossiping and playing games. As bad as the system was some calls did come through and this is one of them....

While it is a receptionists job to transfer calls to the appropriate person and their speed to do such is a quality to be valued in any busy office...haste is another matter. We often get brushed of by getting transferred to answering machines and "somewhere more appropriate" (which usually means anywhere else but here) simply because they must keep the lines open.

I talked to one such receptionist. She was so eager to get rid of me that right after I introduced myself she transferred me to someone else who was equally eager to get me out of her hands.


I ended up talking with the 1st girl again which I didn't know immediately so introduced myself again and asked if we had the company's business name right. The very efficient receptionist replied irritably..."Yes that is the correct business name but you've already called earlier", then hanged up on me.

I wanted to shout at her "Of course I already called, you were the one who transferred me less than a minute ago. Its the same call idiot!"

But of course there's no point talking to dead air. Sigh!

So what does the pic I'm supposed to post here but does not upload because flickr is busted and I had to upload this manually have to do with this? Nothing.

It's just that I finally had the baguio pics developed (buy digicam...buy new digicam...). It seems that I went overboard posing for the pics so there aren't many pics to post on that trip that didn't have my bungisngis face plastered all over. So...I dug up my friendly baul of old pictures and posted some old stuff...from the my first trip to Baguio some 3-4 years ago

LMAO

Laughing my ass off...

Its been a long time since a somebody over the fone made me laugh

Me: I only have a few questions maybe you can help me...
Respondent: I really can't. Call back. I have a client on the table.

Now if he was a doctor this would be a different story but doctors seldom call their patients "clients", do they?

----------------------------------

got these from apwil

this one I agree with but the other 2 are off...i am definitely not an only child (actually, an only daughter if that makes a difference), I don't think I was a naughty child either...not really ^____^

How You Life Your Life

You have a good sense of self control and hate to show weakness.
You say whatever is on your mind. Other people's reactions don't phase you.
You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences.
Some of your past dreams have disappointed you, but you don't let it get you down.
