Poll: Smart, Globe, or Sun Internet?

I have been contemplating on which internet provider I will go for. It's been like, what, a couple of months since I started comparing the services of major internet providers; Globe, Smart, and Sun. When I say comparing, I mean reading about what other subscribers have to say about these providers.

But it still seems not enough for me to finally pick one provider above the rest. or should I just pick one? 

If it's not too much, guys, can you share me some of your ideas about this dilemma I have right now?

There's Nothing Like Good Customer Service

Just few minutes ago I was in one of the well-known BPO's in the Metro. For a company known as one of the best, their 'receptionist' was not as friendly and courteous as one would expect. The experience with this receptionist's way of addressing visitors and future employees of the company left a bad taste in my mouth. I just hope the company will be able to make it up with their excellence in what they are known for---oddly enough, customer service.

Things like this should not be taken for granted by even the big guns in every business industry. Customer experience is a vital aspect of a company's reputation and later on their business. If customer service sucks, possible clients or customers might not even be interested to even check out the good stuff the company has to offer.

Companies who are aware of this fact, don't take this for granted and would really invest on improving their front-liners.

I will be coming back to that company soon and I just hope she's going to be nicer to people next time. Unless she wants her superiors to call her attention after some "little bird" advised them about her bitchiness. :-)

Keeping It Cool

This morning, I was feeling a bit tired and exhausted than the usual. I dragged myself to work with eyes a few more tons heavier. I fought hard to keep myself awake while walking to the office. I think there were even moments when I was walking like drunk. My tummy might give out that idea that I love drinking but the thing is that I don't drink.

Because I was so feeling worn out and off today, I was easily agitated and pissed off. My co-workers can attest to that-- specially those I lost my temper at. It wasn't something I am proud of but I would like to believe that I really never meant to be a pain in butt to others today.

Waking up on the wrong side of the bed is the most common excuse we blurt out when we don't understand why we feel bitchy. This actually gives us a safe excuse of not being in control of how we deal with things. But if you really give it a thought, it just doesn't make sense.

I know we sometimes don't have any control on how things can stir us to react. But how we react or feel the whole is definetely in our ability to control. We slip once or twice but there should be a moment we attempt to pick ourselves up. If you are off at the start of the day, you still have the rest of the day to make it better. It doesn't have to end as bad-- or worst.

What Are The (Second) Chances?

Just few days ago my relationship was rocked hard that almost reached its apocalypse. It really scared the wits out of me. And the situation really caught me off guard which is regretfully one of the reasons why I got into this mess. Fortunately, I was able to convince her to give it another shot...thank God!

Life is not always like that. Sad as it may seem but it doesn't always give us another chance to change things. We can't always bank on the idea that there will always be a 'next time'. And even if there will be a next time, that won't even guarantee a better outcome than the last time.

So how do we deal about it? Well, one thing I can think of right now is to do things according to its value to you. If something is that important to you, may it be a job or a task for someone, give it efforts it deserve. We should never give less value to things/people that means so much to us.

Probably you can suggest more on how not have regrets. I know there are still a lot but I want to hear from you too.

Any other suggestions?

7 Tips To Get Yourself To Sleep

I've worked in this industry long enough to know how things are in this part of the hood. I had my share of hard times-- to the point of wanting to shoot anyone who would make some noise-- getting some precious but elusive slumber too. Countless are the days, or nights, when I don huge eye bags at work and had to wear sunglasses due to lack of sleep during the daytime.

For those times when getting some sleep has become arduous, I have tried some tricks or routines to work it out. These so-called tricks have worked for me and allowed me to adjust to the graveyard shifts easier. But there's one thing I uncovered; one trick sometimes just won't cut it that I had to combine one with the other.

So here are some tips on how to doze off and be in dreamland with ease.

• Freshen Up. Although taking a shower wakes you up since you'll get a fresh and light feeling, it can also make sleeping easier.
• Clean clothes. Wear something light and comfortable. As much as possible, wear something clean!
• Read. I'm not saying reading is boring but reading something which bores you helps you get sleepy.
• Light exercise. Exercise can help too. But don't overdo it since you don't want to go to sleep feeling uber tired. A couple of sit ups or clicking every button on the T.V remote can help.
• Milk up! Drink your milk like your mom would use to tell you. It works for me, sometimes. You're never too old for milk.
• On alarm clocks. Set your alarm clock then put it where you can't reach it easily. The idea is to avoid checking the time.
• Close your eyes. Yes, you need to close your eyes. Sometimes we are tend to open our eyes when we hear some sudden noise/sound. Fight the urge to check it out.

These are just few of the many ways to fall asleep. I know you have your own tricks or suggestions. Would you mind sharing with us some tips? You could be helping someone finally get that much needed sleep.
