Google features Pac-man's 39th Anniversary
Going back to history, Pac-man is an arcade game developed by Namco. It was released in Japan on May 22, 1980. It has been universally considered as one of the classic and the most famous game of all time.
Going back to basics, the player controls Pac-man, that yellow smiley like thing through the maze while eating pac-dots, after eating all of them, Pac-man will be taken to the next stage. There are four monsters in the maze, Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde. Follow through the picture below:
They would roam to catch Pac-man and if a monster touches pac-man, a life is lost. However, those monsters also has weakness, they turn blue when Pac-man eats power pellets and during this time, Pac-man has the ability to eat those monsters. They turn white first before going back to their normal states. The game is pretty simple it is just a matter of controlling the cursor or the joysticks. This is a simple game yet an exciting one. As for me, I would always scream when those monsters are already running after Pac-man when I play. This is the most enjoyable part because it has thrills on it.
Happy 30th Anniversary Pac-man!
Happy Anniversary Wave 60!
Just to mention, if I could still remember, my wave mates were Kevin Pulvera, the first one to resign the very first night we took calls for the main reason that his customers were much more knowledgeable than him. I could not remember who were the next to resign or to go on AWOL but we had Nikolai, forgot his last name, I believe he is still studying today, we had EJ, Houer Baduel, this guy is really unique, I could not forget his line when he asked the customer "Sir, can I hold you?" instead of "Can I place you on hold, Sir?", good thing that was just when we were doing our rehearsal with a teammate and not with an actual customer. Next was Voj De Guzman, this was the sleepy head of the group, this is primarily because he was still going to school at STI in the morning and works at night, one instant where in I could not forget him was when he was documenting his call and suddenly, I just noticed there was a continuous beep by a keyboard, looking back since I was just seating beside his station, I found out he was actually sleeping. His document page was already full o letter 'A'. We also had the fashionista gal, Tina. I could not forget her star tattoos around her waist. She is sexy and the reason she resigned was because of family problems. Next was Jeansen Dianne Torre, a Boholana like me, she went on absent without leave, she was sick that time and was not able to call in for two days, she was then shy to go back to work and just let it be that way. We had Louella Jane as well, we call her Lae. She was so fond of this Korean guy named Heartbreaker, I am not sure but it sounded like that. I just love his shoes anyway, hehe. She was the one who gives us updates about the group of Sandara, the 21 girls. Next was Aya, a very outrageous lad, I believe she was the most experienced wave mate I knew. She had worked in Convergys, in a callcenter in manila and one in IT Park as well. She was also a Prodigal daughter and just like me, she was a daddy's girl. I believe she is now in Manila working as a callcenter agent still. We also had Mark from Tellecare, he was a bisexual and was a kind of a "mahangin". Well, I just let him be like that when we were seatmates and I thank him, I really learned many things about the job. We had John as well, a registered nurse from Cebu Doctors' University. He also had worked in Convergys before and he need to resign because his granny was ill and he needed to attend her. On facebook, I had found out that he was a music lover, cool side of him. We had Dyreen, Ilongga, she was so cute that you will be surprised when you ask her her age. The first time we met, I thought she was 17 or 18 but found out she was already 26 and is married. Shocking really, it looked like I am older than her. The special thing about her was that she has been into a relationship for five or seven years, I guess but ended up breaking with that guy and then got married with another guy whom she has been for seven months only. Super!! I would not forget Mercy as well, also a Boholana. She was the Miss Friendship of the group because she had earned a lot of friends on the floor. She had a great crush on this guy named Alberto and we would always tease her about him. Well, she had a bad experience though and was the reason why she had to leave the account. But, as I can see, she is happy and contented with her work today. We had Bern Angulo as well, the small but terrible licensed engineer of the team. We get along so well with this man, he has a girlfriend who is also a Boholana so we talk much about her and Bohol. He was a cool guy, he had been a top agent and was good in taking calls for me. The reason why he resigned was because of the financial side. Well, as of now, he is with Convergys already and supporting Windows 7 account.
So those were the teammates who went on their ways, so the persons left are, yours truly, Tanya Mae Pinili, Daryl Gapor, Reggy Sultan, Kyle Magallano, Malvin Kim Diaz, Evan Marie Penzon and Loreto Gaerlan. Happy Anniversary guys! Way to go... Looking forward to more years together!!!
Team Building Day 2
As promised, I will be updating you with the things that we have done during the second day of our team building at El Paradiso Resort Alcoy, Cebu.
As for the second day, we started it with a good breakfast and we had fun with our games. We played "Pinoy Henyo" which was taken from the noontime show of GMA 7, Eat Bulaga. It was a funny game actually and we also played Charades which is really common to outings like this. Team Michelle won the two games, supposedly, there were prizes given but we already ate them before arriving at the resort, so we ended up swimming though. The sea was alluring but the itchy thing is still there. We went to a deeper part where the ramp was located, the boys had fun jumping over and diving to the sea. I was able to get there by swimming but most of the girls were not, as a solution, they rented the paddle boat which cost them Php 100 an hour. They were able to reached the ramp part but they did not get out of the paddle boat, instead they returned to the shallow portion. I also rode on the boat, in fact, we tried going to the much deeper part but the boat was so slow that in which I had thought it was better to swim by yourself, haha.
After the sea adventure, we also went to the pool, this time, we opted to just stay in the kiddie pool since the bigger one was like sort of dirty. Good thing though was the gentleman who maintains the pool cleaned it and also increased the water in the kiddie pool, it was like jacuzzi that time. Daryl also massaged some of us, he was good with that actually, we also exchanged conversations until it reached the topic of "waxing the private parts." Funny it seems but there are really people out there who do that. Well, going back we got out of the pool when the time was already one in the afternoon and we need to eat our lunch. As usual, our food was really good. There were fried fish, grilled beef and fish, there was calamaris, my all time favorite and also chicken curie.
Unfortunately, we were only allowed to stay up to 2:00 in the afternoon. So after lunch, we packed our things and bid goodbye. We had picture taking of course before we left. There was a funny stuff when we went out, there was a lettering at the wall of the resort, here it is:

Team Building location changed: Alcoy Everyone?
Three days before the team building, the location was changed due to some safety problems. Instead of spending it in Bantayan Island, ( :'-( huhu Bantayan ohh bantayan!) we decided to spend it in Alcoy, Cebu. The problem with Bantayan is there are rumors that the place is not safe since election is coming up and the NPAs are active right now, they said the place has been listed as a danger zone in times of election. Well, we will not be risking ourselves of course just because the place is nice.

29 Chinese Children Killed
Was shocked with the news on yahoo about the man who stabbed 29 children at a kindergarten in China. The crime took place in Taixing, China and the suspect was an ex-salesman in a local insurance company named Xu Yuyuan, 47 year old who was fired in 2001 and is still unemployed today. He was concieved to have some kind of mental illness and was sought to be copying this kind of act with existing cases before.
Witnesses say the suspect was stopped by a delivery man through a fire extinguisher. Later part of the news would state that China's cases of mental health disorders are increasing and too bad there were no professional help to those eventhough their country is a prosperous one.
This kind of crime was not new actually to them, there were already cases before with same nature. I don't know what are the reasons of this cruel killings to poor little children who are surely innocents but whatever the reason might be, surely it is not valid and unacceptable.
May the children's souls rest in peace and hopefully they will be given justice. The suspect must be given the corresponding sanction to what he has done. China must give attention to this kind of case and do the right move to stop this.

My first Post
I was thinking for two days already on what would be my first post all about. Today is the third day and I am still thinking on it, just then, a light bulb just popped out above my thinking head...I might just post something about myself. Weeeh.
Yeah I know, I have this page right here on this side----> that is all about me but I guess that is just a bit of me. I love to let you guys know more about myself. As if you would love to but, who knows, somebody might be interested to read this part here. Yay... here I go.
I am the only daughter of Architect Narciso Olaer Beltran Sr. and Rebecca Butihen, and that made me Jean Beltran y Butihen. Today, I am 22 years old, I was born in January 31, 1988 at Guindulman, Bohol. You might wanna know the history of my name, well...I was actually named Jane from the month of january, but due to the midwife's carelessness or I don't know, she named me Jean, so be it. You must learn to pronounce it as a hard jeeen. So much about that, I have three brothers, Steven, who is in Dubai right now, Jonas, he is working at Tagbilaran City and Jay-r, our youngest who is still studying. My father is a district architect in DPWH District 2 in Bohol and he also has sideline projects there. My mom has a small sari sari store.
About my educational background, I was actually a good pupil/student eversince gradeschool. I spent my elementary days at Guindulman Central Elementary Schol. During my first grade, I placed 5th in the class, second grade, I was 3rd up until grade five. I also garnered the First Honorable Mention place when I finished gradeschool. Wayback in high school at Guinacot National High School , I was also popular, I would always get the third spot on the honor roll. Up until fourth year when I had gained the salutatorian spot, which I never expected and I would not want to accept it, but I have no choice but accept to. I joined so many extra curricular during my secondary years, since fresh year, I joined the Press Conference, unfortunately, I never won.hehe, well it's not a joke, our school would send us there, expenses were free and I had never win a category that I joined. Too bad for me, well for the record, when I was in grade five, I actually got the sixth place in Copy Reading Category and that was it. Anyways, I also joined Girl Scout Campings, I trained in the CAT, which unfurtonately was removed by DepEd from the program, I had been with our Drum and Bugle Corpse and we won first place and Second place. I also joined the STEP competition, with the House Planning Category, I placed first for the Provincial Level, I went to the Regional Level and I was not able to bring home the bacon. So sad, but it was all charged to experience... In college, I was just a common student at Cebu Institute of Technology and the only outstanding thing was that I was a scholar for Department of Science and Technology, which has helped me a lot in terms of financial problems, they offer Php 4000 for our tuition fees and also a monthly allowance of Php 2500. The scholarship also served as a way for me to take major exams without paying my tuition fees. At the Office of Admissions and Scholarships (OAS), we would just have our admissions marked and then we can take the exams. Pretty cool huh? I was also able to join a couple of extra curriculum activities such as the Supreme Student Government (SSG), I was an IT representative, I was also a part of the officers in our DOST Scholars' Association in our school, as a matter of fact, I was once the President in our Batch during the third year. When I graduated, I was really glad because I was able to make it even though I didn't take my course seriously. I was also glad because during the last year of my college, I had a relationship with James Figues, one of my classmates and co-DOST scholar. I never thought that I was able to make the top IT dean's list after we graduate, It's a reward!
