about Leomar

Been working as a call center agent for more than 9 months now and throughout the timeline of my profession, I’d say I’ve learned many things so far and that I aim to learn more. (CHAROOOOT!) Lack of sleep, stressful days, lousy scores, and shifting schedules are just one of the few things I can complain about and how ironic those are the same things I should be thankful about since it brings out the best in me, testing my capability to be under the pressure no one would ever wish to be in and then survive.

"Do it with passion, or not at all."

-Rosa Nouchette Carey

At first, I don’t see myself being on this job because yes, it’s kind of stressful. I even thought of looking for a new job a few months back but when I came to realize how fortunate I was compared to those who are busting their assess in hopeful journey to find an employment, it suddenly came to me that I’m feeling too entitled to myself as if I have all the qualifications every employer in this world desires. If I can perform with the current then what's there to start anew? Ghad! I've invested a lot! I've sacrificed my weekend bonding with friends, an hour(s) of sleep, my connection to the world, and even the period of time during the day because it's always "good morning".

I have nothing to complain about my job (at least for now LOL!) I'm actually lovin' it. I don't think there exist a kind job in this world that doesn't hurt physically, mentally, and emotionally. Because how can we define happiness if in the first place we don't know how it feels like to be in pain? (Awwwwwwww) Plus, I'm lucky to be part of a team that feels like my own family! Gone are the days when I feel so proud of myself, so proud I’m not taking almost everything seriously. Yep! That’s me! But I believe everyone has its fair portion of opportunity to grow in life becoming a better version of our previous self, it’s just that I never thought I found mine in a COLSENER.

Hello! Thanks for reading. :]

At long last, I have finally experienced what it is like to board an airplane and travel from one place to another, and I’d say it was terrifyingly astonishing! I love traveling (my wallet doesn't), exploring new places, meeting new people, learning about their cultures, and being in awe of wonderful spots I thought I’d only see in pictures on the internet. Most of my travels have been by land and sea, which is why I was very hopeful and excited about my Siargao getaway. I had been yearning for this trip for three months since I booked the flight.

Onboard PAL flight 2395, I was seated right next to the window (PERFECT!), while my friend was seated behind me. I’m not sure how it happened; I just followed whatever he instructed me to do at the airport. Anyway, without an experienced person to talk to about the dos and don’ts of flying, I felt like my life was suddenly on the verge of extinction. I thought it could be my last day on Earth and even considered recording a farewell message to my loved ones. But thank God, it didn’t take long until I found the light at the end of the tunnel! THERE’S A GUIDE CATALOGUE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, BEACHES! Suddenly, I felt the love and care of all the people who, to me, love and care? Yeah.

Soaring high in the sky with clouds so white and light so bright (huh?!) was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Back in the days when I was just a kid (fragile and innocent), whenever I heard that loud, roaring noise from above, I’d quickly run outside, gaze into the sky, and, while pointing at the airplane flying by, my friends and I would shout out loud, “ERPLIN! ERPLIN! ERPLIN!” Ugh, good ol’ days. Now that I’m inside the airplane (it makes me wonder if there’s a seaplane or a landplane

*UPDATE: Googled it, and lo and behold, there is!), I somehow felt the same feeling I had as a kid, with a little extra on the side. I saw structures so small they looked crumpled together, roads curving like snakes, hills and mountains at eye level, the VAAAAST OCEAN, lands dominated by the greenery of trees that I could almost feel the touch of fresh air, and the clouds: so fluffy, so white, so massive, and so majestic I can only imagine there could be another civilization out there. Like when I was a kid, my ignorance amuses me to the fullest it can. Next could be a rocket ship! LOL! That's it, my first-time ERPLIN experience!
