Born Again

BlasterQ Leave a comment
I would like to ask our fellow kuronians who call themselves 'Born Again' to share to us their history, as well as answer questions relevant to their group.

Let me start by asking by what authority does the Born Again group operate?
Are religious leaders or pastors undergo official training to become leaders in their group? Or does the most articulate of the group assume leadership just because he seems to know what he's doing?
How sure are the the members that what their pastors are teaching to them is in line with other Born Again groups.
If Born Again pastors teach or preach on personal understanding of the bible, what if their teachings contradict with the teachings of other pastors from othere Born Again groups?

Thank you very much.

Director of First Impressions

This article by Rebecca Morgan appeared in the CATS Recruit section of The Sunday Times (Singapore) where she poses the new perspective of looking at call center agents as “Directors of First Impression”.

Truly, call center agents that answer the phone for and in behalf of our clients really ‘direct’ and impact the first impressions the callers have about the principal’s company. How well we do or don’t directly affects the perception.

Here are some things we can do to put our best voice forward:

  • 1. Remember you are the voice of your organization.
  • 2. Answer the phone every time with focus.
  • 3. Ensure your voice is upbeat and friendly.
  • 4. Enunciate your words.
  • 5. Respond pleasantly but briefly
  • 6. Use hold and mute only where appropriate.
  • 7. Dont make the caller repeat his story.
  • 8. Stay on the line when transferring a call.
  • 9. Repeat the caller’s name while taking a message
  • 10. End the call politely and professionally.

When a Cat Meows From Under The Vehicle

Bloggers’ Kapihan 3.0 has come and gone. All thanks to Mr. Dohn Nalumen Jr. of Kape Tasyo, Bayan Muna Rep. Satur Ocampo, Cristina Palabay of Gabriela, and all the attendees for the support.

Vencer did live blogging while I did live twittering (well, I tried). Hot damn that was hard! I easily lost focus on things partly because Robby was badgering me all the time. Blah. :) Tonyo released a press statement shortly after.

After the event, brother and I went to Gateway to meet up with our mom. I finally got to spend the Rustan’s gift certificate my dad gave me last year, and what better item to spend it on than a pair of new sandals from Havaianas? My first Havaianas, actually. I had to settle with the it because everything in Rustan’s was overpriced and absolutely way out of my league (both in size and price, haha). I could feed a family for a week with my goddamn slippers. How frigging unnerving. Imagine stepping on a thousand-peso cake.

Moving on…So my mom and brother and I waited for my dad at Seafood Island. This time around, we ordered the Bento Boodle - a classic feast of tuna sashimi, tofu nuggets, miso soup, salmon belly teriyaki, crab tempura, beef yakiniku, pork tonkatsu, chicken teriyaki, sauteed vegetables, and Japanese fried rice - all for PhP660. The order is good for three to four people, but we still had a little difficulty licking the leaf plate clean like this one. And agaaaiiiinnnn :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: when I tried to order Piña Colada, the guy inspected me and told me it’s an alcoholic drink.

Like, really! Do they do that all the time?!

Now where am I?

Oh, yeah. The title of the post.

My brother’s feeling a bit sick (no doubt because of his kakulitan) so my dad went to fetch the car instead of all of us going at the parking lot. And just when my mom and I were about to get in, mom heard meows…coming from under the vehicle. At first we couldn’t find the damned cat that was doing all the meowing. After a few minutes parked in front of the restaurant looking like complete idiots, looking for an invisible meowing cat, the security guard of Seafood Island approached us and asked what was wrong. A couple of eras later, a black kitten finally emerged and ran off to where the car was parked earlier. Like hey, we could have catnapped a damn black kitten!

And to think that if my mother’s hearing ability was a little less sharper, the poor kitten would’ve been home with us, if not poor-kitty dead.
