before the end of 2006

You are a Performer!

(Dominant Extroverted Abstract Feeler)You are a PERFORMER (DEAF)— personable, self-assured, and excellent under pressure. You are extroverted and strong-willed, which, in combination means you are good with people and aren't willing to let opportunity pass you by. Congratulations. I'm sure all the peons you've stepped on never saw it coming and didn't feel a thing. You have formidable creative talents, and you often follow what your heart tells you instead of your logical mind. Your exuberance can earn you many friends and admirers, despite your ambition, or it can intimidate the less confident into keeping their distance. It's also possible that you're Madonna.

Happy Weekend!

SE on 007

We just saw the latest sequel of 007, Casino Royale, and to be honest with all of you guys, I enjoyed the film not because it's been a while since I last saw James Bond and his stunts, but because I love the way they actually featured various Sony Ericsson phones on the film. Well of course the film was produced by Sony Pictures so SE phones will definitely be a part of the production, but the way they actually make them visible on each scene, plus they featured most of the coolest units there, is the part that Carlo and I really loved.

We've been SE users for sometime now so forgive us for being biased. We just love their unique design, cool-funky features, plus the fact that they're being manufactured by one of the leading companies in the field of technology, Sony, merged with one of the leading company in telecommunications, Ericsson, what more can you ask for? ;-P I remember that Carlo's first ever mobile phone was a one-liner Ericsson which I already forgot the exact name of, he switched to using a Nokia 6150, then a Nokia 3510, but he was never satisfied, until I got him an SE S700i as an early Christmas present last year (please don't remind me of my stolen p910, please!). And now, he's been eyeing that K800 since the beginning of the year, and after seeing Casino Royale, he said that the silver Limited Edition K800 is not worth the wait (even if it's set to be released anytime soon) so I'm getting him a black k800 by next week, ha-ha! I'm just wondering if it's really waterproof ... ;-P

Let me just play a little game and see if I was able to identify the phones featured on the movie right. I'll try to enumerate the model units used by the characters ...

• James Bond = K800 (limited silver edition)
• Vasper Lynd = M600 (I like this phone but it doesn't have a camera)
• Solonge = W810 (the camera of this phone rocks! Mic have it)
• Mathis = K700
• Mollaka = T68
• Alex Dimitrios = W300 (the black one which looks really cool!)
• Mr. White = Z520
• Airport Bomber(I dunno his name) = K608 (a 3G phone)

These are just the ones that I can recall, just feel free to correct me in case I got some of them mistaken since that's one of the reasons we have a so called "comment box" ha-ha! By the way, you can check out my full review for the film here.

Have a great weekend everyone! =)

The fake me!

It's just one of those forwarded text messages we regularly receive, but this time, it requires other people to participate and it's really fun. I spent an entire day (or two) laughing my heart out of all the replies I received. So, let me just go ahead and share some of them with you all, here it goes ...

"What if one day, may dumating na fake na NICOLE, how would you know na fake sya?"
Give me 3 facts, Don't break, it's fun! =)

Nice answers guys! ha-ha!

Anyways, FYI for the people from outside the Call Center world, AHT stands for "Average Handling Time" for calls. For example, you took 45 calls a night, 5mins. AHT. And in case you still don't get it, ask any of your friend from the same field I am to explain more further/go into details. ;-P

What about you? How would you know if it's a "Fake Nicole"? Ü
