I thought, it looked like it, that I did good in my first week with the software department… I was making sales left and right… my TL can’t actually believe, “may benta ka nanaman…!” or “ang dami mo benta…!” but then, taking a closer look, I didn’t… even my handle time failed… I was reeking sales, true… I was selling more than most of my team mate, but I was also taking so much calls… thus my close rate is failing… and comes last day of the week, suddenly, my jinx is back… out of 8 calls, no sales, two were almost escalations… almost, I insisted to my customer that my supervisor will not entertain them mainly because they don’t have software warranty despite them spewing the f word by the buckets…

20 pesos, a fine they thought I would not pay, for not making any sale… there goes my Q4 BSC… maybe I should go back to core…

Y is certainly way cuter with his cap on… and I understand his snobbish demeanor… but… ah… not worth talking about, I guess… anyway, I went to message Kitin, she said yes to dinner… I am buying, “fishball at samalamig lang ha…” she know I won’t even eat Paot’sin—not for anything, I actually think it cost too much and that it will not fill me in… she agreed… but cancelled on me and Che in the last minute… which I really don’t mind, Che is much more interesting than Kitin… Kitin is fun… but Che or Shellerey Espineli is an artist/designer with good business sense… you should check out her facebook profile, she is into crocheting, creating beanie worn by such personalities and celebrities… she also designs sneakers—hand painting them to make them one of a kind… and all stuff crafty… you are going to love talking to her… I asked if she does get clients through facebook, she said just that day, she got two orders which she priced 500 each…

With her, I feel inspired again… I can do that too… and have me started thinking…

She named her beanie enterprise as “I want that hat”, planning to register it… I advise her to register her name instead and do “I want that hat by Espineli” sound Italian… but mainly adding premium to her name… as in truth, it is mostly the name you are buying, only 20%of the total price tag is the cost of production… I know she will make it big, one day… with her talent, wit and charm, I am actually planning on passing her my resume to work for her already…

I am to start designing… the designing part is easy… making the design into reality is the difficulty… production… she will be an asset on that…

We had dinner at Dencio’s as usual… though not sinigang, talong ensalad again, we opted this time for pochero espesyal… ordered manga’t bagong and three rice… it was a sumptuous dinner as usual, I just insisted on after dinner coffee to get myself a sticker for that blasted planner…

I better get myself a sketchbook and pencils… drawing materials…
