It's already the 15 of January and we still haven't started on the franchise we bought a month and a half ago! I don't know what's taking the franchise consultant so long. Grrr...
Mood: 
aggravated!

Our training was postponed indefinitely. Arjay, our franchise consultant, said that we are advised by Raymont Choachuy, the General Manager, to just take the training soon before we begin operating so that we would not forget what we will learn from the training.
Since that was the case, Misyel and I decided to meet up and play Badminton instead. We agreed to meet up at the McDonald's store across from the Rodriguez Sports Center in Marikina. We got there before Misyel and Daphne did. Below are three pictures taken while we were waiting for the two to arrive.
It so happened that Hamburglar came out from the kitchen to go to the Party House and we asked if it was okay to have a picture taken with him.
We got to the sports complex at about 12:30 PM. We thought they would not let us in because the cashier went to lunch & she has the tickets. Luckily, the lady who's in charge of the reservations was there and we were able to reserve a court from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. While waiting for 1 o'clock, all of us sat on the ground and had ice cream first.
In the beginning Sam didn't want to play because she said she didn't know how to. So, only the four of us played.
Lorenzo Miguel
Daphne
MisyelSince Samantha didn't play during the first hour, she got the chance to have her picture taken with me, Misyel and Daphne.
We forgot to change the settings of the cam and this picture was taken against the light (that's why it's dark).After the first hour, Misyel and I went to the cashier to pay for the Badminton court reservation (Php75.00 per hour) and our entrance tickets (Php5.00 per head). When we got back, we saw that Sam was already playing with Daphne and Miguel.
After playing, Misyel and I bought fishballs, squidballs, chickenballs and kikiam. Then we all sat on one of the benches facing the football field ...
! HeeHeeHee!

Last November 5 [2005], Misyel and I were supposed to attend the training for our franchise. It was scheduled at 8 o'clock in the morning. We left the house at 8:20 and it takes approximately 30 - 45 minutes to get to where we were supposed to have the training. Therefore, Misyel and I decided to just postpone the training to this coming Saturday [Nov. 12]
We went back home and got my laptop since she brought her's with her. We initially thought of going to Tiendesitas to take a walk. We got there at 9 o'clock. The guard let us in but after a short while he told us that the stores won't open till 11 o'clock. So we decided to hang out at MetroWalk, instead. While driving to get there, Misyel and I started talking about thyroids and stuff. This lead us to decide to go to Seaside [in Ortigas Center, Pasig].
We bought half a
kilo of prawns (PhP330/kilo) and a kilo of live crabs (PhP360/ki
lo) from the market shown in the photo above. Afterward, we w
ent to one of the restaurants on the other side of the market to
have them cooked. This was already at about 9:40 A.M.
We both wanted
the Buttered Shrimp with Garlic and Chili Garlic dishes and couldn
't decide on which one to choose. We ended up ordering the Butt
ered Shrimp with Garlic but we asked the cook to put crushed ch
ili pepper in it ... and ... TaDaH!!! This is what we got ...
The picture above was taken when the crabs were served.As for the live
crabs, we just requested for them to be steamed. That w
ay, we could enjoy eating them with spicy vinegar. We ate all
the shrimps but we were only able to finish one crab. We eac
h brought one crab home.Misyel used all of
her ten fingers and enjoyed the food. I began using both pointer
fingers and thumbs on each hand when I ate, but after a while,
I couldn't stretch my other fingers anymore.
Yet, even w
ith that premise, I still ate in that manner for a few more minutes
until I got my other fingers already "dirty", as well.
We left Seaside /
Dampa a little past 11 o'clock in the morning to go to
Starbu
cks, MetroWalk.

who's straight who's not?! 
Finished blogging at 6:52 PM
I left work at exactly 2:15PM ... just 15 minutes after I actually clocked out. Misyel was waiting for me at Gloria Jean's Coffees with Eteng (Borja, - Wave 1104) and Ghelo (Morales - a former Team Jader). 
(He's the one standing.) Oh man! I miss the old days when we were still having fun taking in calls and assisting customers resolve their issues.
There are times when I wished I were still an Technical Representative. All an agent should worry about is to meet his/her target and the team's will follow - well, provided that the other members of the team would also perform well. Agents' get all the incentives - prices, OT pay, 6th day OT pay, bonuses, etc.
With what I am doing now, I need to worry about evaluating the way 40 (on the average) agents transact with our customers; their sentence construction, thought organization, speech and pronunciation, volume/rate of their speech, their call control skills, their courtesy and professionalism, the way they guide customers through troubleshooting steps by providing logical and sequential steps, etc. 40 people every week - we evaluate them then we need to coach every one of them.
40, you might think ... "Oh such a small number!" HaH! That's not very stressful if all 40 agents have recorded calls. The problem is sometimes only 10 out of the 40 agents on our weekly list have recorded calls and we'd have to barge into the others calls and evaluate them based on a live call. Here's the thing, though ... if the recorder gets f&#ck*d up, there'd even be ZERO, yes ZERO recorded calls.
Oh geeze ... I'm ranting on the wrong weblog! hahaha ...
later then

On Saturday, October 1 (2005) Misyel and I had already decided that we're going to get a franchise instead of starting a business of our own.
Hee Hee! Misyelipooh has fallen asleep while waiting for me to decide on where to put the food cart. Our 1st choice was Cyberpark, Eastwood City but we later on found out that Sam's have not made any transactions with the developers of Eastwood yet.
When Misyel and another friend, Jaymee, went to pick up some documents from my lawyer, we thought of stopping by at Tiendesitas - a new enclosed flea market in town - and the moment I set foot on the place, I already felt that it would be a good idea to set it up there.
The St. Francis Mall was also recommended to us but they charge too much. Just for us to be able to set up a food cart in their Tiangge area, we need to pay Php55,000.00 for 50 days. We didn't take it. And besides, when Misyel went there one time, she observed that although this place was already in the center of the commercial district in Ortigas Center, not too many people stop and buy stuff here ... unless they're really looking for a specific item.

There are actually two females and one male in this team, but I just fell in love with the skin the moment I saw it. From left to right: Ricky, my boyfriend; Misyel, one of my closest friends this past three years; and yours truly.
Misyel and Ricky, separately, had been planning to put up a business for quite a while now. They just didn't know what to venture in. As for myself, I need to make more money in order for me to provide the needs of my children and to start on our own (literally) soon.
My mom lent me two of her Entrepreneur magazines. I browsed through it and shared ideas with Ric and Misyel. Then we thought of sharing expenses to put up a business. The first question was: "Own business or Franchise?"
You'll find out as I share stories with you! =)
