Happy with the job but sad with the Celts

Posted in Scattered Ideas by Dustin on June 11, 2008

I am currently employed with TeleTech-Bacoor as a non-voice agent.  I said before, when I resigned at PeopleSupport that I won’t be in the contact center industry anytime soon. I said that I would want to have a career in the media industry.  I tried my best in trying to get enlisted in any media entity that I knew but I failed in doing that.

I saw myself so low, thinking that I am not fit enough to work in that environment, because if I was, surely some company would have seen my potential.

But with the job slump that I had (bouncing from one job to another), I saw myself crawling back to the doors of this current industry giant. I had to swallow my pride.

So I got into TeleTech Bacoor. Given the opportunity, I now see the value of working in this industry. I am happy with the way things are going with my job now. I can see so many career opportunities here that I could enjoy using God-given gifts that I have.

I used to be over confident that I could land myself into a job that I want. But with the turn of events before, I was humbled with the experience that now I am just very grateful that I have a job.  I promised myself I will work hard and try to get promotion with every opening I am given.

***********

The Celtics have a 2-0 edge against the Lakers, with them winning the first two games at home.  Paul Pierce was hurt but it seems to just have hardened him and given him the push to go get the elusive gold that he has always wanted.  He was spectacular both games one and two, giving his 100 percent in every play.  Garnett also was spectaular, delivering his double-double figures in the games. Plus with the all-around effort from an unexpected person, Leon Powe, the Celtics seems to have all the weapons they have to emerge as victors.

Buut earlier, the Lakers was able to grab a win at their home turf. I just hope the Celts could regroup and win the series. If they could snatch a game in the Staples Center, I think they have a good chance of getting that ring this year.

Family Tree

So here’s the hierarchy of our family. As I have said in some past posts, I have no father present that’s why I love my sisters and my mother. :)

From the top is my Inang Reyna, Dolores Carbonera.  Then after her are my sisters (all married):  Gina Bensan, Janet Gonda, Beth Panis and Lanie Liveta. That’s me at the bottom obviously.  I’m a fat pig now. :’(

Siberian Husky at Tiendesitas
Now this is my dream dog (?): the Siberian Husky!

If I only had the money to buy this dog, I would. But then again, taking care of this dog would be high-maintenance. The food should be special plus the environment that the dog would live in should be at least colder than what we have here in Cavite. Blast! :(

This dog is just five months old, as told to us by the store owner at Tiendesitas (Ortigas).  It also costs around 25,000 pesos.  If I had that money, I’d save it first and buy a dSLR.

Akamaru!

Akamaru!!!

This is the dog/puppy of my sister. His name is Akamaru. Actually, he had his own name before, but it sounded unfit for the dog so I suggested the name.

Akamaru came from the name of a cute dog in Naruto. How cute! I just wish this dog will now grow up. T_T

Ordinary People

Ordinary People by Dustin

Ordinary People. We are, but our love isn't just ordinary.

We’re just ordinary people.. We don’t know which way to go…” (John Legend in “Ordinary People”)

True. We are ordinary people, living our own lives. We breathe, we sleep, we eat, and we live for another day. We may plan and plan for our lives but we don’t really know what’s planned for us. Only God knows.

Everybody’s Bes(31) Friend.

Posted in Deviators Unite! by Dustin on June 2, 2008

Starting today, I will now be making feature blogs of artists, specifically graphic and illustration ones. This one is inspired by articles made in PSDTuts.com. I will be featuring artists here and abroad, but I will try to focus more on artists here.

First stop, we have an artist that I see as one of the many bright spots of Philippine graphic design even though he is still now yet on the map. But I know he will given the chance. He is Rigil Kent B. Ariola a.k.a. Bes. He hails from Bacolod and is on his last year of college education. He is just 22 years young and is under the star sign of Sagittarius.

When asked to describe himself, I was able to get this answer:

“A wanna be porn star. A pseudo rock star. Mahilig mang-asar! (Joke lang yun.) Simple but intricately detailed. Professional Slacker/Loafer. Job Description: eat-sleep vice versa. Just like Spiderman and Superman, maintains a low profile on public. You’ll never know, I might be the one sitting next to you.”

He calls himself “artless.bum,” but I would like to disagree. Just look at some of his works and it will explain why I contradict him on this matter.

Welcome to the Good Life

Posted in DjDustin Designs, WhoHearts23 by Dustin on June 1, 2008

I am so addicted to Kanye West’s Good Life song right now. Well, it’s not a new song but I just liked it now. Maybe it’s because of the video. Oh, erase that, it’s because of the video.

I really love the animation within the video. Very cool.

So what I did, I patterned the new multiply design of mine and Jacque’s site. Here are the banners from our sites that I made.

This one is mine. Obviously. As of the moment, I’m not finished with the CSS coding for the site so if you try to visit it as in now, I’d still be a mess.

And this one is Jacque’s banner. I like the colors on this one. It suits her but it is not that girly for her. And I still haven’t made the coding for this one too. :( Give me another day then it will be.
