Customer: Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot
Benz: Hello?! May I have your phone number beginning with the area code, please?
Customer: Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot
Benz: *Whattadafuck* Sir, please stop dialing the number on the phone.
Customer: Huh?
Benz: I need your phone number so I can pull up your account.
Customer: F*ck! What’s wrong with this Automated Phone System?
Benz: *What freaking phone system are you talking about!?!?!* Absolutely nothing, sir. I just need you to give me your phone number.

I’m busted! I just found out this evening that our helper arranged my stuff in my bathroom cabinet. So what, right? But the thing is, she even managed to sort my packs of condoms! LOL It’s not really a big deal for me as a matter of fact I find it hilarious but I’m worried for her. You know, she is still virgin with the ways of the world (as far as I know) so I can imagine what’s going on her mind whilst arranging my “THINGS”. My packs of condoms (supplied by my very liberated mom. Yes, you heard me right, my mommy! LOL) contains very graphic illustrations (leaves nothing to your imagination!) unlike the pack of condoms you buy locally where you only have the boring-black-and-white visual. As if it’s important right? LOL Anyway at least my things are clean and organized now…. by flavors. LOL

Here we go again…

My new schedule for this quarter was rolled out today. I have to bid adieu to my 7am to 4pm shift and welcome the stressful hours of 9pm to 6am shift. Urgh! My body clock will be screwed up again. If you work in a call center, you’re probably used to the shifting schedules, right? But not for me! I hate transition big time. Why? Well, night shift means no more barkada night out... abnormal sleeping hours… irregular day offs… and no social life. Wahhh just kill me now, please. This shift is prone to E.T. or mandatory overtime as well so better expect longer phone time on the floor. Tsk tsk tsk Im sure brent can relate to this LOL But on the other hand I will receive more thanks to higher night differential pay, which is always good! $$$$ Oh well, enough ranting its 11am and I need to catch some sleep. ZZZZzzzzzz

Did you know?

The word "sex" was coined in the year 1382.
(Just curious… what’s the term before that? Any idea? Hmmm…)

The Heartbreak Kid

Written by Benz on Tuesday, January 15, 2008


I was invited last night to watch the advance screening of The Heartbreak Kid starring Ben Stiller at Megamall. It was a boring Monday night so I decided to join the gang. I really don’t know but I’m so disappointed with the Farrelly brothers, the same guys behind the hits there’s Something About Mary and Dumb and Dumber. This one failed to reach my expectations. Some scenes are poorly executed and the jokes are lame. I tell you the movie is painful to watch. Me being so harsh now eh? hahaha Oh well Ben Stiller is always great. He is hilarious as usual. I fucking love his breakdown scene with the Mexican band. LOL You gotta see that part. Anyway; just watch the movie and let me know what you think.

By the way, a big thanks to my good friend DJ Justin Ray of 103.5MAXFm for the invite, you’re the best!

Purple Pepper

Written by Benz on Monday, January 14, 2008



Ohhh lookie lookie what I found, a purple bell pepper! It may not come as a surprise to most of you guys but this is the first time that I have seen such kind. Probably I’m the last one to know that such variety exist. Where have I been all this time? Oh well there’s always a first time for everything. I always thought they come in green, yellow, orange or red but oh boy I was wrong! They even come in white, purple, blue, and brown, depending on when they are harvested and the specific cultivar. How enlightening!

 

At first glance I thought it’s an eggplant! Really! Hahaha How am I supposed to know? I’m not a vegetable expert.

A day in the office…

Written by Benz on Thursday, January 10, 2008


My Pod .... what a boring work station :)

A post about work, yes people I work! LOL I’m a technical support representative for a direct home satellite provider in the States. So basically I take calls everyday to assist customers with their technical issue. Just so you know its not a glamorous job. This type of job requires a lot of patience I tell you. I mean you sit all day and be bombarded with calls from unsatisfied customers while me trying to be empathetic and all even though your sick and tired of hearing all their complaints. Most of them irate callers ready to eat me alive. Frustrated callers who keep on blaming me for all the difficulty they are experiencing though they are perfectly aware that I didn’t cause their problems. They will shout at you, they will curse you and name you names. Ohh blood never fails to run out of my ears! Just wanna share a call I received today.

Benz: Thank you for calling _________. My name is …(Customer interrupts)
Customer: I have a problem with my TV. It’s not working!
Benz: I’m sorry to hear that … (Customer interrupts me again)
Customer: Me too!!!
Benz: I understand where you’re coming from but …(Interruption again! tsk tsk)
Customer: No, you don’t. Just do your freaking job and fix my problem, will you?
Benz: Sure, not a problem (At this point I’m starting to get irritated, the biatch is sooo demanding!)
Customer: So what should we do? I don’t have time for this.
Benz: ok just to verify … (Yes, I was interrupted...again for I dont know how many times now! Shit! How can I do my job if you keep on butting in! Geeezz)
Customer: You’re useless!
Benz: Can you just please tell me exactly what’s on your screen? (trying my very best to keep my composure.)
Customer: Just a black screen. No picture!
Benz: I need you to press the power button on the remote.
Customer: Its working now.
Beep beep beep …Customer hang up.


Urggh the nerve of that bitch hanging up on me without even thanking me for helping her realize that she’s a big stupid dumbass. Im so pissed!

Hady Mirza – 1st Asian Idol

Written by Benz on Friday, January 04, 2008



I’ve been playing Hady Mirza’s album for a few days now non-stop. I just downloaded the album just last week. I really don’t know why since there’s nothing special about the album, the tracks are mostly revivals. Oh well at least there’s something new to play in my playlist LOL. What’s Left is my fav track. Btw he just recently won the Asian Idol competition in Jakarta-he represents Singapore (I miss Singapura- I want to go back there soon!)

This TV ad literally knocked me off my seat-big time! This stuff is fucking hilarious I tell you. I heard this ad is highly noted and won numerous awards and now I know why. How can you not love this kind of ad? I mean the storyline is superb, the cinematography is amazing and the cast, oh boy they are highly amusing. Just looking at the lady makes me want to shit in my pants laughing. Just see for yourself and let me know what you think. Enjoy!




P.S.
Will post the second series next time. Watch out!

Bring it on 2008!

What a better way to start the year but blog. Yes! You heard me right. Since dear family is away and enjoying the holidays in our town house in Batangas, while me all by my lonesome here in manila, I'll just indulge myself in writing here in my new blog. It has been a crazy year for me. Alot of things happen, some are good and some are not so good but I enjoyed the ride and still looking forward to a new year. On that note beautiful people, I wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Stay happy and keep loving. Cheers!
