All I want for Christmas is the No. 1 by Clive Christian. It has been awarded as the World's Most Expensive Perfume by the Guinness World Records. A bottle of the No. 1 Imperial Majesty perfume, which is "made of Baccarat Crystal and inset with a white diamond on the neck, valued at over $200,000." Thirty (30) ml of the pure perfume is ONLY $2350.
No. 1's ingredients are "top notes of pineapple, plum, mirabelle, bergamot, lemon, and cardamom. Heart notes of rose, jasmine, ylang ylang, orris, and orchid. Base notes of vanilla, tonka seeds, cedarwood, sandalwood, and musk amber."
So if you want to smell like Katie Holmes on your wedding day, this is definitely a "MUST HAVE/WEAR" perfume.
I was almost late on our first day of technical skills training.
Our team was merged with the other team (my friend's team).
So new trainer… new faces… new experience… new distressing moments?
TRAINING PROPER: (2 to 3 weeks)
We were trained how to: configure a router, troubleshoot it, et cetera.
I thought that it was a "no-brainer" because I'm an IT graduate. But it somehow "squeezed my brain," so pretty much, it was challenging.
Then, we were taught how to make some small talk, which was kind of exciting.
For instance:
"How's the weather there? Oh, we have a lot of bitches here…I meant beaches, sir."
Well, anyway the training went on… more or less eight hours a day, but I got the hang of it.
But one day, I received a "confirmation call."
I enjoyed learning new things with my co-trainees. I shared some embarrassing moments with them and eventually laughed about it. We had some slight altercations, but managed to fix it. We made a "bond."
In as much as I wanted to stay, I had to leave. I weighed my options (career advancement).
And that was the end of it. (Was I a good riddance?)
I've been recently tagged by call center gal (one of the engrossing sites I've been to).
Since I'm new to this, so please just bear with me.
My job is to "reveal six unspectacular quirks about myself and challenge other bloggers to do the same."
Good thing it's just quirk/s, not DDS (Deepest Darkest Secret).
The rules are: 1. Link to the person who tagged you. 2. Mention the rules. 3. Tell six unspectacular quirks of yours. 4. Tag six bloggers by linking. 5. Leave a comment for each blogger.
And so my "quirky-quirks":
1. When I read a fictional book, I always start at the end to know the ending, especially when it's a thrilling suspense novel.
2. When I'm alone at home and have no chores to do, I will play my favorite songs, and not just play it, I try to dance and lip-synch, like I'm having a concert…waving to my imaginary audience.
3. I love watching horror films but right after watching those, I won't turn off the light/s in my room. It will take me months to "get over it."
4. I list every expense I make, up to the last centavo.
5. I'm squeamish…just by the sight of a "house lizard's feces," I feel queasy. (ironically, I'm a registered MT)
6. My body wash is Zwitsal hypo-allergenic baby bath (white one) and can't go out/leave the house without wearing my favorite perfume.
7. I want to add one but the rule says 6, so I'm tagging these bloggers…
All of a sudden, "Let's watch a movie. It's my treat" said Inday. (Not her real name of course)
"Let's," I simply replied.
Okay, so there were four films shown in four cinemas.
We could have chosen Death Race, Altered, Harold & Kumar (Escape from Guantanamo Bay).
But of all films, they've chosen this…
Yep…For the First Time.
For the first time I've seen Noypi film in a theater. It's not that I loathe watching "our own," but let's just be honest, only few have the best quality, in general.
Anyway, with popcorn on my left hand and bottled water on my right hand, I obligedly sat down to somehow make a rationale of why they've chosen this film.
The movie was… yeah, yeah… average.
The location… it was shot in Greece, so what can I say?
But the overall acting of those two leading stars?
I would give Richard Gutierrez a passing grade (besides being really gorgeous, I just realized).
But KC Concepcion?
Nah… I know she's pretty but…c'mon her acting? It was dull, monotonous, and humdrum throughout the movie. I was not impressed at all.
But I can forgive her for that because this is her first movie. There's still a sizeable room for improvement.
The movie lasted for, I think, about 2 hours (I must have slept).
And it left me asking myself, "If KC Concepcion were not the daughter of the Megastar and Gabby Concepcion, will she still be as famous as she is now?"
