No no, customers are not always right !

Today is my one-year anniversary in the working industry! I’ve started my part time job November 30. 2005. It has been a heck of one year, I have suffered, I have cried, laughed, got a lot of blue marks in my legs, got back pains. I almost faint because of being too dizzy, but I have also learned a lot of things.

I have learned to earn money! Yes of course that is obvious, I now know how hard it is. I now know how to spend money correctly, or do I? Hehe, well I still tend to use money for things that aren’t important, but I am better now. I really feel good earning my own money, now I no longer have to ask my mom every time I go out and also, I can give them gifts from my own pocket! There’s a lot of good reasons to why you should start earning your money, first you don’t really have to ask your parents permission if you can buy this or that, because if you don’t have your own money you have to tell them what THEY are buying for you, you are more independent when you have money!

I have learned to be nice to clerks! Oh yeah when you go eat outside please do me a favor, clean after you! When you pick a piece of cloth and you decide you don’t want it anyway, please take time to put it back there where you took it, neatly! When you stand in a row waiting for your time to get service, please don’t begin saying bad stuff, like for example the service is so slow and bla bla, first of all even you whisper it and we are busy we can still hear you, and secondly we are not super women or men, we do our best to make the service faster. And one last thing I AM NOT THE ONE DECIDING THE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT YOU ARE BUYING, so please don’t ever tell me that I am crazy or what so ever because you thing the price is too high. Go ahead complain to our boss you are more than welcome to do that! It is like some of the customers haven’t tried working before, or maybe they just don’t care, they think that they are spending the money so they can do whatever they want. Maybe the money we get in our salary is a part of what you have paid for the things you have bought, but cant you just stop and think for a while that maybe we have 100 else to do than to clean up your mess or to hear your silly coments? I am not saying that you should never leave a mess or you should never complain, all I am saying is to help, don’t make us look as a complete slave.

I have learned to be really pissed! After working for a whole year I’ve only seen the true colours of the customers. Or let me say it like this, in the beginning I was so naive, when customers got mad I almost cried, when customers gave silly comments I just smiled, when customers had ridiculous complaints I just smiled and said sorry, and after having a bad confrontation with a customer I feel sad and sorry for the rest of the day. I can tell you that first after many months that attitude changed after few months my smiles turned into: fake smiles. Those sorry turned into letting them know the reason of the incident. I only smile when they are nice, and I only say sorry, when I really think they deserve that word.

It is about time to let all you customers that NO! CUSTOMERS ARE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT! Just because you pay you have no rights when you are wrong! I know we live of the customer’s money, but I also know that God taught us to treat our neighbours correctly! YOU TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED!


After working for a year I actually don’t know why it is first now that I wake up and start being mad at those unfriendly customers, maybe I really just have had enough. Even though I really want to shout to some of them, for really getting enough I still stop myself, coz when I was a child I learned to respect other people, I learned to just shut up even though there were rude people. My family taught me that fighting wont make anything better, that I should just let the person say what ever he or she wants to say cause even though they are not right I know in my heart what is right.

This made me wonder, did my mom and grandparents teach me to just be plastic? : p

I wanna sing, not cry!

yawn, I'm tired again after a ling nap in the after noon I think I'll put my slef into bed soon. I almost just finished my article about the culture of the Philippines( the one I wrote about earlier) After sitting infront of the pc for a long time I've finally finished it, or well I wasnt doing it the whole time, coz I was wathcing tv most of the time. bad me huh! Yes I know, I shouldnt have done that, I could have finished it earlier if I wasnt being lazy! Well I like the ending on my article. giving advice about making ligaw! hehe! yeah so if a danish guy goes to the Philippines he will know how to catch her attention =)

Oh about my title. yes I want to be able to sing! Well I CAN actually sing, I can sing but I dont have a singers voice! If you get what I mean? well every body can sing, some sing like they are reading a peom, some changes the tone all the time (which is like what I do) and some sing like they can bring you to heaven, well that's the voice I want to have! I was listening to yahoo radio whil making my article, well I chose the love songs haay I envy those singers voice!! I dont remember the name of the song, but there was the one I have heard where I just stopped writing and just listened to the song and the voice of the singer.. tsk wish I have good voice!!!

God, why didnt you give me such gift?

I cannot dance well, I cannot draw well, I cannot write stories or peoms well, I cannot cook well, what else cant I do? I dont have those kind of gift! I can't even act well, but I can cry? hehe! Yeah I think thats the gift God gave me, to cry easily! =p I cry so well ! hehe

Actually me and Tristan have talked about it, about talents, about gifts, he said, as far as I recall, that maybe God didnt gave me those kind of gift, but my gift is something else. Like being succesful in the future. Isnt he mean and sweet at the same time? He really proves me that I have no talents(hehe) but he says that I can be succesfull in the future! That would be a very nice gift!

But still! I want to be able to sing well, so I can sing with a microfon or where theres alot of people, without being ashamed of my voice. but I guess I'll just sing when I am alone, or in the bathroom when I bath instead of big scenes where people can enjoy my voice. I can just let myself enjoy my own voice! =p

I kinda have a head ache right now. I got home at 12 today, after eating lunch I went to my bed and fell asleep. It was nice, but I woke up at 3 and felt that my head was heavy (Head ache)

Well I found out that my group is really good! I mean yeah they are willing to work so that is great!!

I have gathered some informations but well I still think theres something missing, will you help me? tell me anythin gyou know about the philippines culture? especially about the youth.. that is our target group in that magazine..

waaa

I just found out who I'm in group with this week for our culture project! We are 3 or 4 classes who are going to be mixed! And I am going to be with people who isnt from my class, people I dont know, well I kinda know them coz I see them at school, I see them at the hallway, but I dont know them personaly or with there names, only one of them and he is kinda annoying as far as I have observed! I am just afraid to be in a group with lazy people!! Coz last time we had this kind of project one of my friends from my class ended up with lazy people, and guess what? they got bad grades! =(
waaa... But I have to be possitive! Sabi nga nila, be positive daw always! so I will try to be!

wish me luck!
hehe para naman mamamatay ako :p

A love crime

So while I was making the picture collage I kept on listening to the song: Lie about us - Avant ft. Nicole Scherzinger.
Chorus:
So please don't say you wanna give up.
How do I tell her that I'm fallin’ in love,
And I know you’re waitin’ patiently for that day,
When we no longer have to lie about us.
When I'm with her all I want is your touch,
And when you call me I don't wanna hang up,
And I know I say it often but I can't wait
Till' we no longer have to lie about us.

The song just gives me sympathy for those girls who can't get the person they love. Well the girl almost has him but something is hindering, the "x". I am writing "x" like that because the guy havent broke up with his first gf yet. That is what that song is about. He ends up being with two girls at the same time because he is afraid to hurt the first girl when he breaks up, but... but why does he say that he loves the new girl if he's also hurting her? Can't guys see that? It is actually not only for guys, that question. Coz.. girls do that too..

They find a new one, fall in love, but cannot tell the gf/bf. Cant he or she not predict that maybe it will be worst if he or she wait longer before he or she tells his or her gf/bf? Ok if you only think that you are falling for someone else, then it is ok to wait, wait and see if the feelings are real. But if you start going out with your new love, then something is really wrong. Thats a crime! And fear the judge coz it will be God. But who is the real victim? Is it the girl you hurt because you haven't told her you where falling for someone else or even start dating someone else, or the girl you are with but can only be with secretly coz you havent broke up with your gf yet or.. Or is it You who is the victim, victimized by your own heart?

Tricky tricky love eh?

I wanted to go watch movie today, but! But I was too lazy to go out!

I really want to go to the cinema, theres alot of good movies now. Like Borat and The World Trade Center movie? hmm! I just dont understand that everytime I get off from school I would rather go home than go out, well I guess thats a good thing too, that way I wont use alot of money!
speaking of money, I cant wait to get my salary this month! I think I'll get it thursday! yuhu, but I am kinda upset, coz I think I wont get much, hay how sad =(
I have to work tomorrow, my shift, I am just too lazy! I really dont want to, but have to. waaaa.. I am too lazy again, see? I just want to stay home and sleep, or lay in my bed or watch tv, or listen to music, or sleep again! Thats how Jasmin's life should be! :P

I'm actually kinda sleepy now, just want to wait for my mom to get home, maybe she have something to eat! hahaha :P

Oh well, bare with my boring entry.. I have nothing more to say. Bu-bye!

Love < Money?

Today at school while we had break time we suddenly ended up in a weird discussion that turned out to be something I have been wondering about when I was my way home.

My classmate Ifa suddenly asked me: "Jasmin if a fat guy really loves you and suddenly asked you, would you then say yes or no?" She probably heared me and Comfort talking about the prom. I replyed with: "What kind of question is that?" Well what she ment with the question was if he asked me to be his girl not only to go to the prom with. I told her again that it all depends, of course if I like him the answer will be obvious right?

Then the question suddenly turned in to something like: "Would you date a rich guy even though you don't really like him?" This time the question wasnt only for me but for everyone, coz Adie and Kate joined our conversation.
But you know what most of them said? YES they would, of course! I was the only one who refused and they called me naiv?

They say that when money is involved anything can happen. Is money greater than love?

Why are people so blinded by money that they forget anything else?

I asked them if they would just marry a guy because of the money he has, but thank God they said no! They would only date a rich guy...

I cant continue my writing now. I have to watch something on the tv, hehe ! Sorry,, see yah!

Another day

Another tiring day, nothing really happened but it was still tiring. Imagine you wake up monday morning prepare yourself for school, you get there and expect to learn something but it shows out that you don't coz there will be a demonstration. Our school is not getting enough money from the government and they should of course do something about it. Actually it was the first time I have been apart of a demonstration, it was nothing special, 1700 students shouting for the same thing and some has posters of course. We were standing there for an hour or more and it was could I can tell assure you that! Tomorrow I hope we'll learn something. SOmething interesting perhaps, we have Marketing tomorrow in our schedule, Marketing is always fun, because of our teacher! I also have math tomorrow, again we have to work with equations, I love working with it even though it is confusing and I end up not getting the right result most of the times because I always forget to write if its a negative number when I go further, you know if you make one mistake you have to find that mistake or just start all over again!

And danish too, yeah boring danish subject! I only have that for an hour thank God! I really cant take it anymore, danish is just pure boring subject, before I used to dislike science, but now that I no longer have it I found something else to dislike, but actually no, I dislike Social Study more than I dislike Danish.
Danish is not so boring again, coz now we are talking about media and articles so its interesting!

Tomorrow I have english too, what can I say? well english has no change I still like the subject, and now my teacher is much better than before, shes just funny and interesting and nice! But when it comes to giving grades? well she is.... uhm what word can I use.. fair? yeah well maybe is fair the right word for now..

Do I bore you with this entry? hehe, well you don't have to read it if you did't want to you know :P I'm just writing down what I am thinking about now.

By the way I am listening to Luther Vandross now, his songs are really good, I'm trying to find a song that I want to be played in my wedding (of course not now, I am not going to get married now, in the future it is!)
I know before I said I want the song: I finally found someone to be played right? Well I still want that song, but of course its good with alot of options ! :p
You know, getting married is such an important everything should be arranged of course, and I know theres alot more important thing than choosing the perfect song, but right now thats the only thing I can do. I'm not planning anything, I am just looking for a song that would be good for that time=)

weekend!


Weekend is my hero!
I get to rest the whole day, and it is relaxing!
The good thing about this weekend is, I just checked our grades in the net for our welfarestate project, and oh we did it well!! Me and my group got 10! It's is unexpected! Awsome! We all know that we could have done it better, we didnt expected to get lower grade, but we got 10? Imagine if we really did our best, then we could have gotten a higher grade, which is 12! But we really appreciate 10!

I'm sleepy now. the time is 3.49 pm maybe I should get a nap? :P

until next time!

.Sunday, November 12, 2006 ' 7:26 PM

Too fast....

I didnt even really enjoy the weekend! haay, it was too fast! I wish tomorrow we didnt have to go to school, but we have to! of coure, It is already MONDAY! why does the weekend flies so fast? why does the time flies so fast!HAAAAY!

So today what have I done? I slept until 11am, when I woke up I watched tv, and then did my homework, and until now I am still doing my homework, or actually I'm taking a break for now. I was doing my english essay but it is first due to nov. 24, nice nice!

I don't have much to tell, nothing much happened this weekend and its alright, all I wanna do in weekends is to sleep anyway! That would be the best thing to do.

About school.
Well soon I'll be getting an exchange student who is going to live here for one week, the student is from Dublin. Lets see what will happen.
I think the student is coming two weeks from now. The reason why I'm using 'the student' insted of 'he' or 'she' is I dont know if it will be a male or female...


Oh well I have to correct my social study paper now. so bye!

1st November = 1st Snow

Yeah so the first snow came out today!
Me and my friend Dj were on our way to school then when we got up outside from the ounderground train it was snowing! =)
I think snow comes to early, usualy it comes few days before xmas, but now its there!

I like snow the only problem is now its very cold! grrr
Now I am home and have just finished a warm bath =) nice!

We didnt do much at school today, we just made groups for our welfare state project (oh another project!!) and then organize the program on friday (Spirits day) and then some students told us about the study trip on March
We can choose to between 3 places: Dundee(scotland), Viena(Austria) and Dublin(Ireland)
I really want to go to SCotland-Dundee it seems like a cool place when they told us about it, but seems like theres alot from the class who wants to go there, so perhaps I will write dublin too as my second priority =)
Oh I'm excited =)


I need to go now... work is calling =p
