Call Center Confidential

Dear Callboi,

Good morning to my favorite blogger ever! Actually ate, ikaw lang yata ang blog na binabasa ko. So no choice ako hehehe joke lang.

Just call me Beauty. At tulad mo Callboi, isa akong baklush, badets, badings, homo, faggot, baklita, chabelita, and last but not the least, travel agent.

I really adore your blog Callboi. Isa kang huwarang diwata na nagpapasaya sa araw namin dito sa isinumpang account natin. I wish you would write more often, pero alam kong napaka-hectic ng social life at social calendar mo, kaya may-I-wait-in-vain na lang ang drama ng beauty ko lately.

One thing I really like about you is that you are not suplado. I see you a lot on the Ops floor and lagi kang nakangiti. Once, I smiled at you, and even though you don't know me personally, you smiled back.

The reason I am writing to you is because of something that happened to me sa may restroom natin dito sa fifth floor.

You see, isa akong baklitang nangangahas na magbihis babae, Transvestite ang label sa akin. At alam mo naman na dito sa account natin, dumadami na ang mga tulad kong nangangarap na bagayan ng stilletos and plunging necklines. Paborito ko ay ang pagsuot ng turtle neck sweater na white on top of black silky leggings with shiny silver high-heels. Charot!!!

Anyway, one day, while I was wearing the ensemble I described above, I walked in sa CR natin dito sa fifth and pagpasok ko, may-I-brush-away pa ako ng bangs ko when I bumped into this guy from Sales.

Siyempre pa ang ate mo, super-gulat ang drama, napasigaw ako ng "Ay p*ke!" Nasiko naman kasi ako nung guy sa fake kong boobelyas!

Eto ka, yung kalbong guy, tumingin sa akin ng super to the mega over na galit! Mukhang iritang irita ang powtah. Constipated yata ang lintik.

Tapos sabi niya sa akin, "Kasi naman dito ka pa nag-CR eh! Dyan ka dapat sa girls!" And then walk away siya.

Super shocked naman aketch! Siguro kung may rosario ako noon napa-clutch na lang ako sa kaniya. The nerve of that brute di ba?

I've had these kind of experiences before in the CR, pero nothing this blatant and bizaare! Naranasan ko na ang matignan ng masama, mapagtawanan ng patago, but this was a first for me.

Seriously, it was kind of scary for me and sobrang nakakabastos at nakakapanliit. I heard rumors of HR actually thinking of setting up separate CR's for homosexuals daw.

How true ito dear Callboi? What are your views on this?

xoxo,

Beauty

Dear Beauty,

Honestly, if I were in that situation, malamang pinadugo ko na ang ilong ng gagong yun. Pero since we beauty queens rarely resort to violence, I would have just reported him to HR.

If ever that bald guy is reading this entry, ito ang sa iyo: PAK YU.

I doubt if PeopleSupport is really planning to set-up separate comfort rooms for individuals like you and me. Even if they did, I wouldn't use it.

Separation means segregation. Why should we have our own rest room when we have every right to use the appropriate ones we have right now? We're gay but we still use the rest room like every other man.

Building a separate rest room for us implies that it is wrong for us to use the men's room. Kahit saan mo man tignan, pare-pareho lang ang ihi na lumalabas sa atin. It's just that sometimes, some people think na mas mataas ang ihi nila.

A real man would have no issue about pissing next to someone wearing women's couture. Why is it that a lot of straight men think that gay guys want to sleep with them?

We're gay but we still have taste.

Love, life, and lechon,

callboi♥

Dear Readers,

Welcome welcome welcome to this year's Top Ten Men!!!

It's been a grueling and arduous road for me, collecting all these people from all over.

You have no idea about the pressure I am feeling right now, hoping that my readers would love and appreciate the list I've come up with.

Throughout the weeks, several changes were made to the list, some were taken out, and some were, of course, added. Actually, the last person was added just about two or three days ago. Most of the guys here are with PS, some have resigned already, and only one of them I think was never connected to our company.

Ganun ka-hectic. Tapos, ang mga bwakanang mga tao sa floor, ang kuleeeet.

Tanung ng tanong kung san na yung list.

Ka-pressure.

I wonder if you're even reading what I'm writing here, or nag-browse ka lang ng mga pics sa baba. Hay naku, without further ado, here is the list.

TOP TEN MEN

Everyone, I'd like you to meet Mr. Jay-R Paguirigan.

Besides being the only person I know who has a punctuation mark in his name, he's the only Team Manager on the fifth floor who's a good-looking chinito.

He's been with PeopleSupport for more than 5 years, and is a good friend of my co-trainers.

A self-confessed DVD addict, he enjoys table tennis and badminton.

Don't you just love an athletic chinito?

Look familiar?

I know most of you will call me biased, pero I just had to include Chris, or most famously known here in my account as Pumpkin.

As far as I can remember, although I must admit I was terribly intoxicated with infatuation for him back then, mabenta sya ng sobra noon sa floor namin. The neighborhood badets even dubbed him as Mr. *xpedia, because he was such a "crowd favorite".

Although I am no longer attracted to him or in love with him (I swear, I'm not, promise, walang biro, hindi ako defensive, totoo), I felt that my list would not be complete without a shoutout to him.

Mas kilala si Ron sa third floor, as he is one of the supervisors of our rival account.

His boyish smile is only outshone by his most-charming capability to speak Spanish. Can you imagine him whispering sweet nothings in your ear in Español? Kakiligs.

He used to be in our account, kaso because of his bilingual skill, he was promoted to a higher position elsewhere in the company.

And now we have RJ. I call him Shortstuff, kasi, well, he's small, although I think he doesn't like me pointing out that fact.

He's relatively new to our account, but has already attracted lots of attention, due to his boyish-good-looks.

Actually, super cute siya para sa akin, kaso, ang bata eh. BTW, he's a registered nurse.

Our resident bad boy, Khaled Abbas!

Mukha siyang mambubugbog, pero mabait siya, mga tsong.

Among everyone here in the list, siya lang yung nagpakita sa akin ng sobrang tuwa na kasama siya sa list ko, and he was also the most eager to participate.

In fact, nag-"photoshoot" pa kami sa isang tagong kwarto dito sa fifth floor. Shocked nga ako sa mga muscles niya eh, kala ko kasi lampayatot siya. Dehins pala.

Ito si Jake, Jake Tamayao. Pero dehins Jake ang tawag ko sa kaniya. Ang tawag ko sa kaniya, Sawsaw.

Bakit Sawsaw? Kasi ang bata-bata niya, tapos lagi siyang nakikisingit sa usapan naming mga matatanda. Nakiki-"sawsaw" baga.

Aaminin ko ha, crush ko siya noon, noon yun. Kaso nung malaman ko kung gaano siya kakulit, nawala lahat. Kaya friends lang kami. Chos! Pero alam niyo, ang benta-benta nitong si Sawsaw sa mga badets sa floor. Daming nag-eemail sa kaniya. Dati nga, pati isang sikat na HR guy, nilalandi din siya via email eh.

Of course naman, dapat may representative ang training department!

Ron dela Cruz got a lot of nominations, although feeling ko yung iba si Aubrey lang, na nagpapalit ng username. Joke lang.

A graduate of Computer Application in DLSU, this Scorpio is really into backpacking and was recently trekking around Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.

Pangarap kong magkaroon ng balat na katulad ng kay Ron. Ang kinis eh. Pang-anak mayaman.

Donn was the most recent addition to my list. Nakita ko siya last week sa smoking area sa fifth, tapos naisip ko, "In fairness, cuteness."

Kaso dehins ko siya knows, kaya ginamit ko ang aking mga koneksyones. Marami pala kaming common friends.

Buti na lang pumayag siya.

An Accountancy graduate, this 26-year old is reputedly able to charm his way with the womenfolk by serenading them with his angelic voice. I hope he joins this year's PS Idol. Killer looks with a killer voice? Panalo.

Here's a quote from Mr. Donn Gregorio himself: "I don't believe in dating."

Sigh. Sorry girls.

Two words: BILLY HERMOSURA

He used to be with PeopleSupport before. He even joined one of our PS Idol competitions. I helped him practice for the audition, his piece was "Shout for Joy". Maganda boses niya, in fairness, sing-ganda ng katawan niya.

He's a part-time commercial model, I think. Di ako sure. Pero punung-puno ang facebook account niya ng mga professional photos eh. So malamang model siya.

I mean, look at the picture below. With a body and face like that, dapat modelo ka:

Hmmmf. Kagigil.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you how I met this year's number one.

I was in Cagayan De Oro with some of my closest friends.

We had gone swimming in a beautiful pool topped by an awesome waterfall from a mountain.

As we left the mountainside, one of my friends bumped into him at the exit. It turns out they were also there for a vacation.

We were introduced to each other, pero super tahimik lang ako, unlike my usual bubbly and super-cute self.

His name is John Serrano. And upon seeing him, I swear, ang pumasok na tanong sa isip ko ay "Can you be my number one?"

Number one sa list ha. Baka kung anung isipin niyo.

My girlfriends were screaming everytime they saw John. We bumped into him twice during out trip. The first time was by the waterfall, the second was before our river-rafting activity.

Haaay. I don't know if the pictures do him justice, pero friends, I swear, malakas ang dating niya in person.

I know nothing about him except what his friends have told me (Hi Shayne!). I think he used to work for FTV.

He was a contestant in a singing contest in ABS-CBN. I think Star In A Million, pero not sure.

His favorite quote? "Love is not blind. It sees everything but doesn't mind."

Grabe, na-miss ko na rin ang mag-blog.

Super busy ako these past few weeks, pero, because of events that are beyond my control (or my understanding), I will no longer be quite as busy as before. I'm back to my regular programming here in my blog.

So, let me just tell you this:

Bukas, at 6PM. For sure na ito, tapos na siya. Tapos na ang Top Ten Men ko. I-edit ko na lang ng kaunti. Kung ayaw niyo maniwala, eh di wag!

Aaminin ko, nahirapan akong kumpletuhin siya.

Sana magustuhan niyo. Kung di niyo magustuhan, eh wala na akong magagawa diyan.

Mag-calls na lang tayo.

I know, I know.

I promised you the Top Ten List today.

And, all I can say is, sorry. Hindi pa talaga siya tapos.

Ganito kasi, there's this guy I'm working really hard on including in the list.

He's from the fourth floor. And I have the strongest feeling that he should be number one in the list.

Unfortunately, he's a little hard to reach.

Bawal kasi ang mga ibang tao sa fourth floor. So...

I know it's not much of an excuse, and that this thing has been long delayed.

I really am sorry for keeping you waiting.

If you feel bad about this, how do you think I feel?

If all goes according to plan, by next week. Sana.

Sorry talaga. :-(

Some friends of mine went to Palawan recently. I just looked at the pictures they took, and I must say, mukhang panalo talaga sa Palawan ha.

Although, they did mention na magagandang beaches and islands lang ang meron sa Palawan, and not to expect a taste of their culture kasi, well, beaches and islands lang ang ma-i-o-offer nila.

I prefer to travel to places wherein I would really get a taste of the local flavor. Cultural flavor ha, hindi local men.

Marlon was one of my friends who went there. May pagka-photogenic pala itong Sales Trainer na ito.

He's single, by the way, so consider this my advertisement for him.

To be honest, ito na yata yung mga pinakamatinong pictures niya na nakita ko. Yung iba kasi para siyang sinto-sinto.

He was also recently promoted, so this adds to his pogi-points.

He likes to run marathons and do video-documentaries.

Yun nga lang, pag nakakatulog siya, ganito ang itsura niya.
