four-by-four..

Seriously, this tag has been around my "Drafts" section for about a month now and I can't believe I haven't published this! oh well, i guess now's that time to let it all out..

By the way, i got this tag from my favorite blog designer, Daisy .. thanks much, dear! :)

Four Jobs I Have Had

1. I basically started as an OJTrainee in SSS-Dagupan (February of 2000).. after my graduation, one of my immediate superiors offered me a typing job as a starter. i thought, why not? so i grabbed it. a month after, the Loans & Payments Manager, (Eunice) took me under her wing.. during my stay there, i met her unico hijo, Cezar (who was a tad older than me). i had always noticed him looking at me much too often. i was getting irritated then. one day, he followed me up to the cafe and he grabbed my @$$. i was totally freaked out! i resigned from the company the next day.. sheesh!

2. an e-mail/chat technical support forboth Windows & Macintosh applications. yes, i was an ISP TechAgent when i was still in my old company AOL.. usual scenario: clients have computer problems, they go to our help Portal, they either send e-mail or click the Chat button and boom! i'll be on the other end of the mouse and then I think of the possible resolutions to the situation, afterwhich, i'll click this or that and the trouble-shooting steps will be sent to the member. yeah, pretty techie stuff.. i enjoyed 7 years doing that, i had the time of my life! then i scrammed..

i'm still grateful to my old company, though.. it's there where i've met Marc, my husband - the man i am spending the rest of my life with.. :)

3. hmm, i don't know if this is considered a job, but, at least i was earning.. actually, i'm referring to my short stint as an e-loader (you know, sending electronic loads or pre-paid cards to small-time sukis, hehe). i still had my techie job when i decided to be an e-loader (is that how you really call it? ugh!) i said to myself, sayang ang extra income, may pang-text pa ako..

4. last job i handled was doing the manual restore/suspension/dish disconnection of US phone accounts. it was a quite monotonous routine.. more often than not, i finish my tasks on a half-day basis.. then i got promoted to being a Financial Analyst of court cases.. pretty demanding job.. pretty exhaustive and mind-tiring too! but i'm enjoying it.. yes i'm still analyzing finances up to now.. hehehe..

Four Shows I Have Been To:
1. the most memorable - of course- is - or should i say "ARE" all the F4 concerts i've attended! i met a lot of new faces and made a lot of new friends because of F4. i was really quite a fanatic - or more like a fangirl! i loved their songs, their aura, their charms, their chinese accents and their hair!

first concert of the F2, i was there in Ultra (there was almost a stampede - my goodness!) and i sang my heart out with those "Quing Fe De Yi" and "Oh Baby, Baby" tunes.. oh yes, i almost cried when i finally saw Ken Zhu & Vanness - my two fave Taiwanese men.. i screamed at the top of my lungs while they were singing!


second concert of the other F2, (with Jerry & ZaiZai) that's when i lost (or more likely, someone stole) my Nokia 7650 cellphone. at that time, my Nokia was just about a month old.. and then, out of nowhere, those pesky "mandurukots" managed to get it.. huhuhu.. it happened after the concert, by the way..


2. another show I have been into was a Jolina fashion concert (in dagupan) when i was still in college. Jolens was still in ABS wayback then. i was not actually a fan of hers, (never had, never will) but my friends and i weren't doing anything that night (we just had our semi-final exams at that time) and one of my boardmates happened to have 4 tickets, so she tagged us along to the concert.

3. the Grand Finals night of Star Circle Quest (First season), in Araneta Coliseum.. I was with my whole family (mom, sisters, cousins, aunts and other friends) and we joined forces to support our beloved kapamilya (literally speaking!) - CJ Navato (SCQ Kids Edition)- who is my cousin Christian's son. yes, i am a very & beaming proud aunt of a childstar.. yes, i am referring to that cute guy in Goin' Bulilit who looks like a miniature of Matt Ranillo III.. i just wish he's gonna have more projects this year..


4. of course, how will i ever forget? I've been to Backstreet Boys' Phillippine concerttour! oh yes, the backstreets, my ultimate crushies..Kevin, Howie, Nick, Bryan & AJ, in that order.. oh yeah, quit playing games with my heart, you Kevin boy!


Four Cars I Have Had:

hmm, can i just make this Two cars?

1. I have no driver's licence yet (yeah, i'm pretty lazy to get it from LTO) but my hubby has taught me how to drive. and i think i was ok. i drove our first car, a dark green Nissan Sentra which goes by the name, Boom-boom. (my son baptized it!)

2. The other car we have is a Mitsubishi RVR, which my father-in-law drives ... so far, Mitsubishi doesn't have a name yet.. i guess, i'll just call him Mitsu..

Four Favorite Foods:

1. Adobo - my favorite. i love love love chicken & pork adobo, i love love pouring the misture of soy sauce & vinegar onto my rice. yumyumyum! i can finish about 4 plates of rice if this food is served on the table... yada, yada, yada!

2. next in line would be Sinigang na Sugpo! yeah, love it! the king Prawn is the best seawater creature there is under the sea!

3. Pizza Pizza! everyone loves pizza, right? lots of cheese, sausages, ham, bacon ... i couldn't ask for more!

4. this summer, i think it's gonna be Halo-halo galore! inasmuch as i'd love to steer clear of all those sweets & coldies, i really can't resist the temptation of a crushed colored ice with lots of sweeten banana, sago, pinipig, ube, nangka, macapuno & lecheflan.. yummy!!
