I miss my Data Info Core Family

This blog post goes out to the two teams I met in Data Info Core. Team Kurt and Team "i dunnoh" (our team under Zack doesn't have a name or maybe I just don't know what it is.lol) Anyway, there are plenty of reasons why I miss these people. Some of my reasons are stupid, while some are really worth reminiscing.

Let's start with Team Kurt
First day of work and it felt like we all knew each other for months. Working for an Adult-content account probably is the reason why we thought that there's no space for shy or too demure people. In fact, I will never forget that day, when one of our supposed-to-be team member backed the hell out because she saw this "Penis Enhancer Ad" (it was a GIF image of the organ's enlargement) on the projector. Who wouldn't be shocked right? Yet, all of us were smirking, kept calm and I thought to myself "I'm with my elder brother, nothing will go wrong."

It all felt better when we realized we won't be doing any adult videos and we're just article writers. Yes, sad to inform you, we're just article writers - not adult entertainers and we write "normal" articles. With a little adult on the side but still normal.

Moreover, the account lasted for just 4months. Sadly, we've gone our separate ways. I miss how our team tease each other with our flaws without getting really pissed off. And my favorite part is how we secretly kill the 2 feeling-gorgeous-yet-not-so-pretty girls with our morbid mouths.
  • I miss how the whole team made fun of Pervert Bautista (Steve) just because everyone wants to see him pissed. Don't worry Steve we really miss you. ;)
  • I miss talking to Kim Tak Goo/John Estrada/Magic Temple actor (Gio), simply because he knows how to ride with everybody's jokes (even the corny ones. haha). And Gio, don't you just miss the smell of Bulanglang? :D
  • I miss how we tease Ace every time Yanee calls him "Popcorn" and how he stutters when he's talking to Kurt. :D
  • I miss the compliments Twighlo's giving me for my articles/bios. I looove you for that Twy. :)
  • I miss chitchatting with the intimidating yet friendly Twins (Grace and Lane).
  • Pao, you will always be our Budoy. Good luck on your new career as an erotic massage provider. :p
  • Yanee, despite of you unfriending us on Facebook,  I must admit that I still miss talking to you, too. And by the way, everyone still remembers your "Nightlife in Angeles City" article because of your "kapit sa patalim-line", so please let bygones be bygones. ;)
  • And I miss working with my elder brother.
  • Of course, who wouldn't miss working with Kurt? He's the nicest foreign boss I've ever met. (Too bad, I can't get a raise anymore with this compliment I'm giving you, Kurt) :D

And above all these, I wouldn't forget Kurt's hilarious email.
"Guys, this is a very odd announcement but something has to be said. there have been complaints of people "passing gas" in our teams section. Please respect our clean air and go outside or to the CR if need be, just not in our teams section, I've noticed it to, its not cool. Regards,-Kurt"

There's just a lot of moments, happy and sad. I wish I could go back to spend it with you guys. Too many memories, that I can't include them here. I just miss all of you. :(

The Latter Team
So, after a month. I was thankful of Kurt for helping me get a job back in Data Info Core. The account is not as hardcore as the first account but I found it difficult than my first account. At first, my walls are so high and I hardly talk - afraid to say things that might make them think that I'm weird. Well, I am weird but I try not to be weird on the first day of work, of course. It's a good thing that my brother's exotic friend (well, not really exotic. I just call him that because they share the same interest towards exotic pets), Jayson and smurf-like Aiko (knowing that I love Smurfette, that's a compliment Aiko) was there to talk to me. As an added bonus, Marla, a former officemate was there too.

I noticed that this team isn't as jolly as my previous team but I know I shouldn't compare. Even so, most of them are friendly. Yes, only most of them. Therefore, I'll just include the friendly ones in this blog. In just a small period of time, I lowered down my walls as I get to know them better. However, just like any other team or family, misunderstandings will pay a visit and leave a gap among the members. And as the plot thickens, stress among team members weigh in along the stress with our daily tasks.

The storm passed soon and everything went back to normal and probably even better than the usual. Everyone was more comfy with each other, more jokes are being thrown at everyone - everyone was just closer. Unfortunately, little did we know that the brewing friendship is gonna end soon by a shocking news.

Nonetheless, the owner of the company decided to shut the company down, leaving each employee in a state of shock. Yes, we're all jobless in just an instant. Instead of mourning, me and my teammates
joked around, took photos and just believed that everything will be alright.

People I'll miss? Read the following:
  • Jayson- our Team Leader who often spells words incorrectly. Believe me, he can make our day with just one misspelled word (i.e. Heather instead of Header, Snickers instead of Sneakers)
  • Aiko- the jolly Smurfette of the team. I'll miss how we chat all day at the office. And how we talk about other people's lives/businesses. In short, we gossip all day. [-o<
  • Marla- ever been with that sexy friend that eats like an elephant? Well, that's our Marla. You'll be amazed with the amount of food she can take in. lol
  • Chris- left the team earlier than the others but I am sure as hell that you'll want him around.
  • Shey- I'll definitely miss the smell of her fruity-scent lotion (Oh God, I sound lesbian). May I ask where you bought the lotion? haha
  • Nelson- the only one I can talk to when it comes to Fliptop Rap Battle. \m/
  • Jovie- 2pm? Movie time!
  • Darewin- As much as I want to deny it. I'm addicted to Anime (Japanese Animation). And this guy right here, is an expert with Anime! Well , we're the geeky ones.
  • Jessica, Ate Anna and Jhong- yes we're not close but it was such a pleasure working with you guys as well. ;)
  • Ma'am Maricar- i'll miss you too. I'll miss your spaghetti. :3
Well, as they say "Change is the only permanent thing in this world". There will be a lot of changes but I'm glad that all of you has touched my life. I wish you all the best in life. Let's all be thankful that we're out of Shad's life! Cheers to us and see you guys around! :D
