What a Year Ender!

2009-12-10T10:39:00.000-08:00

Next week is the most exciting week for me this whole year. After more than three years, I will be going back home to the province. I could not believe I stayed here for that long without visiting home. Well, a lot of reasons held me back to do so. Shameful but true, it all boils down to finanacial matters. I might have worked for years now here but I don't really have even a single penny saved in the bank. I therefore dont have the fund for the plane ticket and the stuffs that my folks might expect from me when I go home. I was always scared of that. That they might be expecting that I have something for each of them when I go home, but that would not hold me back anymore this time. They have been straight forward to me not to worry about buying anything for them, and that all they want is to see me after the past years, so sweet of them. I have also been longing to see them so much. So now's the time to break the distance.

Though my folks said they do not expect me to bring anything for them, I still have that desire in my heart to be thoughtful enough to give them presents even just for my little cousins. I got a few days to go now before my flight and I really don't have much time to shop around so I thought of just shopping online for kids stuff. Luckily, I stumbled on a website that sells great stuffs for kids and do same day shipping. So now, I got here simple gifts for my cousins that will surely make them joyful. A very cute jellycat stuff toy for DJ, a marshmallow-soft barefoot dreams loungewear for ShanShan, and a very cool appaman shirt for Shahar. They're all just perfect!

So now I am all ready for packing up. I could not wait any longer for Sunday and fly back to my hometown. I know this will be such a marvelous week. My greatest week this year!

Medical Interview

2009-12-04T11:43:00.000-08:00

Time slips away so fast. I could not believe I have been here in Manila for more than 3 years straight now. I thank the Lord for arranging everything for me. He blessed me with a good job that had sustain my and my family's needs all through this time. And this was also because of one person that God used to help me, my kind and sweet sister in Christ, Norleth. She was the one who helped me come over here and work. She had helped me a lot, financially and morally. She paid all the expenses in coming here as well as everything that I needed when I was still looking for a job for almost two months. Her patience and kindness can never be denied.

She is working in one of the country's renowned hospitals and currently taking up
medical management course for doctors. Inspite of her busy schedule, she still finds some time to hang out with me on weekends which I really appreciate. When there are some affairs at work, she also invites me to join and introduce me to her colleagues. She is also blessed with such wonderful office mates. One of them who had also became a close friend of mine now is Aisah, who is taking up the spr medical management course for doctors. It's always fun to hang out with them. I found another family in their circle. I thought it would be hard to cope up with them since we are from different fields of profession, them in the medical and me being in the education profession, but I was wrong. They haven't allowed any instance that would make me feel out of place. They appreciate my field of study and even asked me to teach the teacher course for doctors, which I found funny and exultant.

If I am to look back at the past when I am old, the picture will never be complete without Norleth in it. I am so much grateful to the Lord He blessed me with such a wonderful sister, such a channel of blessing. I promised to myself that I will always be there for her through thick and thin in any way I can.

A Spectacular Christmas Wish

2009-11-26T16:09:00.000-08:00

We would be getting our Christmas bonus this coming Friday, yahoo! I am so excited! I have so many things to buy this holiday season... gifts for my family and friends, a new mp3 player for myself and of course, I need to save also for the Christmas feast as my sister will be coming home for Christmas from Singapore. I bet it will be a very Merry Christmas for all of us.

Just a while ago, I've listened to a Sunday sermon from Bro. Bo Sanchez and he said that before you could love others, you should be able to love yourself first. He said there is no love to share if you yourself does'nt have an overflowing love to share. Makes sense... and that is indeed what I would need to do from now on. Before, I thought treating myself in a movie or a concert is like wasting money and is being selfish because I am the only one who's happy. But now I've realized that I need to treat myself once in a while. I need to pamper myself and take care of myself as well. So for Christmas, I'll gonna buy myself a gift... and that would be an MP3 player i've been wanting to buy for so long. I would also like to watch a concert or a play with my friends sometime. I heard there are affordable Radio City Christmas Spectacular tickets available and would love to avail one someday. I bet me and my friends will have a good time.

Speaking of shows and concerts, I've heard that the famous David Copperfield is having a series of shows this holiday season. I've known him as the greatest magician alive and the one who made statue of Liberty disappear. I hope I can have enough money to buy David Copperfield Tickets for the whole family. I am also a fan of broadways and plays... and one that intrigues me a lot is the play "A Steady Rain" by Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman. If there is one thing I really want to have this Christmas is a pair of A Steady Rain Tickets for me and my hubby. I would really love to watch it.

Home for the Holidays

2009-11-28T19:54:00.000-08:00

I got a text message earlier from my sister living in Singapore that they would be coming home for the holidays. As you all know, I with my hubby, is the one taking care of their house since she and her family migrated to Singapore. She is the one paying all the bills and in return, we need to take care of the house and everything in it. Yes, I am indeed very lucky to have her in my life and she is indeed a very generous sister... but I don't know why I get so nervous knowing they would soon be back.

It's just so happen I am afraid that they will know that my hubby is still unemployed after two long years since they left. I am afraid my sister might misinterpret my hubby's unemployed status to being dependent on me. Actually it's my own personal decision. I asked him not to apply for a job as I want him to manage our business, unfortunately, the business never materialized. I was not able to save as much as I want to and because of that, I was not able to save for our business start up capital. I know this is also not what my hubby wants. I know oftentimes he gets bored as well. He normally spend the day serving me, cooking for me, washing my clothes, cleaning and maintaining the house and just plays free games online or watch free movies on the internet for his own enjoyment. I am afraid she might find it odd that her sister is the one working for us instead of him. My husband is a loving and a giving partner... someone who takes care of my needs first before his and someone who shares so much of himself to me. I hope they could see that kind of person in him rather than someone who does'nt have any dream. I am planning to start a business next month, fortunately, I got my bonus from the company I worked for and is now ready to invest in a small business. I hope my hubby can finally prove to everyone that he can also be successful.

You Will Be Missed, Imee

2009-11-28T18:34:00.000-08:00

It's final...the verdict has been given, my friend for two years will need to leave the account and would be transferred to a different one. It was really a sad night for all of us in the team most specially to me as she is one of my closest friend at work. She is my confidant and my usual "yosi buddy" (cigarette break buddy). We would normally go downstairs after lunch time to smoke and my lunch time would definitely be different now that she's not around anymore...

We would normally talk about office stuff, our love life, our dreams and plans for the future and we would occasionally talk about our plan to quit smoking. And as a starting point, we purchased cigarette filters to absorb some of the toxins in the cigarette we smoke and to collect those harmful solid particles known as tar. I've learned all about this by searching the net and finding ways on how to at least lessen the harmful effects of smoking on my body. We do also have plans to purchase what they call e-cigarette (or Electronic Cigarette) which acts and looks much like an actual cigarette but without the harmful toxins associated with smoking but since Imee is now gone, I think I would be the only one to push through with the plan.

Last night, I called her up. I asked her how she was doing and what keeps her busy. She said she would just rest for a while and would start working next year after the holidays. According to her, our coach told her she would go through the normal procedure in applying for a different account. She would also go through the physical exam (and she is now researching on how to pass a drug test , lol) plus written and oral exam. I can hear disappointment on her voice but I told her that everything happens for a purpose. This is God working in her life and that she needs to look on the brighter side. The conversation ended by a promise that I would just be here if she needs me and that I would remain a friend. She would definitely be missed.

The Verdict

2009-11-23T22:24:00.001-08:00

Well, tonight will be the final verdict. Tonight, we will know what the client's decision is regarding my friend's case. The recommendation of our OMs is to just push for a suspension but the final say is still from our client. It's 50/50 actually but my friend feels that she will be transferred to another account. I hope not. I would really be sad if that would be the case as she is one of my true friends at work. I really pray the decision would be favorable to her. God, please make a way so that my friend can stay with the account. Amen.

Invest in Gold Coins

2009-11-18T20:38:00.000-08:00

I admit, I am a worrier. I always thinking of what the future will bring me and my family. I always do things that would have a relevance in the future. I need to make sure that I would live a comfortable life in the future even if I chose to quit my job. I know that God would provide all my needs and I need not to worry about the future but I also know that God wants us to be ready and to manage our finances wisely. That is why I am working double time so I can save up and be ready for what the future might bring.

I am currently working full time in a call center and I am also working part time doing online jobs. I am also considering my friend's business proposal. He want's me to be his business partner. Though he still doesn't have a business in mind, he feels that investing in a foreign exchange is a good choice. He also want to try investing in gold coins as he said the value of gold coins never depreciate. At first, I laughed at that idea - I thought to my self "who would want to have a gold coin? " But when I read some article on the net about how valuable gold is and that there are so many people are interested in acquiring them...I got so excited. It is indeed the purest form of money and the most durable wealth-preserving asset on the planet. The government has no control over it, it has no debts, no politicians and no government agencies that can mess with it's value. I've learned that negative economic, political, environmental or monetary conditions contribute to a rising gold price while war, inflation, high oil and gas prices and the weakness of US dollars weakens it's value. I've realized that with a good business strategy - it would bring anyone a fortune! Though we are still on the planning stage, we're already trimming down our options. For the meantime, we need to work double time to have that start up capital.

Another Gloomy Day

2009-11-19T21:12:00.000-08:00

I slept for almost 7 hours last night but till now... I can't understand why I feel so tired. Not just tired physically...but emotional, mentally, spiriturally. I don't know why I feel so "nega" since yesterday. Though the que is really not that bad and we even had a meeting for almost 2 hours, I still feel the pressured in the office. I feel bad that another close friend would leave the team if ever the final verdict would be either lateral transfer or termination. I already lost two of my closest friend before, one of them I treat as my bestfriend... I don't know if I could still manage to lose another. I feel so sad, tired and confused. I feel threatened, anxious and afraid...afraid of losing the foundation of my future plans. Lord, please let me endure the remaining two years of my call center journey. After two years, I can now do whatever I want to do with my life. I can now start living my dream.... I pray Lord, that you will make a way for my plans. To you be the glory forever, Amen.

What a Gloomy Day

2009-11-18T20:06:00.000-08:00

I just don't like this day. I don't know why but I really felt so sad. Maybe I got so tired from my shift as there are so many calls coming in, furthermore, my teammates thought a large size tshirt would fit me so they picked that size for me but since the sizes are too small... there is really no way I could fit in to that shirt. Also, the pag-ibig salary loan we applied for last month still was'nt approved... and last but not the least...there is a possibility that my friend would be transferred to a different account or worse might get terminated because of an honest mistake she committed at work. I just feel like everything is falling apart. I don't like this feeling and I don't like thinking about negative things so I feel I really need to rest well today. I think I need an 8 hour sleep just to drive all these nega things away. I hope tonight would be a better night than last night shift. Amen.

PS:

oh I almost forgot, the shoes I just wore today gave up only after 8 hours of use... what a day!

Invisible Wall

2009-11-16T10:12:00.000-08:00

I don't know why I feel aloof and I really am not close to one of my officemates. She is a pretty and kind girl but I just can't read her mind, maybe that's the reason I tend to distance myself to her. I am a joker, most people learned to love me because of my humor and it's my way of befriending someone...but it just won't click to her. There are numerous times I offer her my hand, tried to talk to her, spend some time with her so I can know her better but it just won't work. It's hard because most of my friends are really close to her and whenever we need to go out to eat or to go somewhere...she would always come with us. We really had no fight or something like that but I feel that there is really an invisible wall between us. I hope I can get over this feeling, I really don't like it. I'm really trying my best to befriend everyone on the team. I hope I can bond with her sometime and really try to know who she really is, besides we're in one team...

On Breaking Trust

2009-11-11T21:24:00.000-08:00

Haha, we we're permitted to go home today as Lysie, one of our previous qsps, asked us if we can file for vgh (voluntary go home) as there are so many agents on the floor and the que is not that high. In fact, we experienced 15 minutes avail time one hour before our shift ends. It's a relief as we do have a heavy call volume for the past 7 hours! So we signed up for one and was approved for VGH 45 minutes before our shift ends. Everyone was so happy because at last, we can go home early and call it a day as our shift for today was really stressful. I need to go home early as I need to finish review tasks that was supposed to expire today. Unfortunately, Ice, my officemate/friend texted me saying "galit daw si tl dahil nag vgh tayo" wtf? I really can't understand and there's really no point that he would get annoyed because we filed for vgh through other people and not through him. He never told us that we can't file for one if it is not filed through him. Things are really getting complicated on the office. I can't help but to doubt my TL as I once lost my trust in him because of a certain secret we have that he was able to share easily with others. I hate this feeling. I don't want to lose my confidence in him completely as my work would greatly suffer. I hope I can control my emotions and just stay focused on my job.

My Cute Little Dream House

2009-11-09T11:20:00.000-08:00

Last week, I with Melai and Sam checked on the house and lot we've been wanting to purchase through a housing loan. I found it very affordable as it would only cost me almost P4100 payable in 30 years to own that property. It is a 50 sqm property, with house and lot, with provision for one bedroom at the loft. Though the lot area is not that big, I guess a little bit of imagination and creativity would work with it. I already have a plan in mind on how I would beautify this house.

The house is actually big enough for two to three people...perfect for a couple who are just starting out a life together. It is really cute. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. I already pictured what I'll gonna do to beautify the house. I would adorn it with colorful accessories and furnitures. I'll gonna paint the house pink and yellow inside and out. Since the front yard is so huge, I would adorn it with colorful mail boxes. I've checked on the net and found a site that showcases different types of Residential Mailboxes that would fit into any type of houses and I would just purchase one online for that. I've learned that Mailboxes are used by many house owners not just to make sure the mails would be delivered to the correct address but can also be used as a house accessory.

Though the place is not yet fully developed, I think I would go for it. We are just renting our place and I feel that I am just wasting the money I pay for the rent because it the end, the house would never be ours. I want to have something that I could say mine and I pray that it would be my own house. I still am weighing my options but I hope my decision would be the best for us.

my little dream house

the front yard

in Jesus name I claim this house, Amen!

In Search for the Best Web Host

2009-11-07T21:12:00.000-08:00

Only now was able to find time to blog hop and as I check on the blog of my good friend Joedel .... I was able to see that he wrote an article about how to increase your blog readership and telling such things as page ranking and technorati authorities, which is really new to my ear (i dont care at all, in short). I mean, I make money out of my blog articles and the mere fact that I really dont have so many readers ( I have loyal fans though, haha!) and yet advertisers are still paying me means its does'nt makes sense at all! Joedel has an answer for that, he said (thru ym again, tnx yahoo!) that page rankings and technorati rankings are essential for you to have more review tasks. He said that the higher readership you have and the more people linking you to their site adds up to your score and if you have a high score, it follows that you will be flooded with more offers and more review options. Hmmmm, sounds good... I'm still learning here but Ill take the first step.

He said that the first thing you need to do to make sure you'll get review tasks from advertisers is to find the best web hosting company that would house your domain. Those website hosting companies are the ones that provides space on a server they own or lease for use by their clients as well as providing internet connectivity. It is a type of internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations make their own site accessible to the world wide web. Joedel suggested I check on web hosting guide available on the internet to make sure I'll be able to pick the best option. Through the guide, I'll be able to know what those web hosting providers can offer, their plans and promos and of course what their customers think of the service they get from them. I need to make sure that the web hosting services I get would be one of the most reliable one. I don't want my blog to suffer just by making the wrong decision of picking up the wrong one as there are hundreds of fly by night web hosting companies that would offer everything to lure you into subscribing to their plans.

I am still checking for the best web hosting company that would best provide me with all the web hosting needs I have. Wish me luck!

Bautify Your Pics with Picjoke.com!

2009-11-07T18:21:00.000-08:00

My first blog ever is turning 6 years new and I'm so happy because its the one that paved a way for me in being a profesional blogger. My first blog only comprises of personal experiences, fears, happiness - it's like a silent witness of what's been happening in my life. When I want to look back on what my life had been for the last couple of years - I take a peek on my beloved blog and reminisce.

Blogging has been a part of my life since then, at first it's just for personal but when I've learned from my friend that he is learning through his blogs, I got interested. So I purchased a computer and subscribed to a local dsl line and asked my friend to help me to be a professional blogger like him. It's a good thing that I'm already blogging for three years already when I've learned about online blogging because I already have a blog of my own to submit for review purpose. Since then, I never stop updating my blogs which now sums up to ten.

Through blogging I've learned certain applications such as adobe photoshop and html. I was really fascinated with colorful designs on a picture so I often decorate my pics with fun picture frames. I usually go to picjoke.com to make photo collage online and make cute decorations on most of the pics I post on my blog. They have more than 100 effects to choose from and everyday you can make colorful and pretty photo collage online. Here are some of the beautiful designs they can offer.

Try blogging, it's a fun way of taking note of your everyday experiences and making money as well. Goodluck!

vgh again with my new teammates!

2009-11-04T20:11:00.000-08:00

I am so happy that we again were approved to go on vgh! We had our meeting for almost 2 hours and after our meeting, we were informed that we can now go home. The whole team, together with our new teammates went to Yoohoo Bar @ around 6:00 am to celebrate this event. Haha! We had a beer and a liempo as our pulutan. We had a blast and it seems like we already knew each other for so long because of our manner of speaking and our mannerisms. Maybe because we again happen to have a gay teammate GK. I am so happy that GK is now part of the team as he is the one bringing color to our group. Thanks Lord for my new friends. You really never fail surrounding my life with wonderful people. Amen.

On Backing Out

2009-10-24T11:31:00.000-07:00

Hay naku, we should've gone to a comedy bar tonight but because Melai just backed out the last minute...same with icey.. well, i think I'll just gonna call it off na lang. I don't like the attitude of people who would always say yes all the time and at the last minute, would say no. It's better for you to decline to a request than to always say yes then would quit the last minute. Hay, wala tuloy akong reserbang gagawin. I have a looonggg 3 day off, I wonder what I'll do on the next two days, hayyyy... maybe I would just update all my 10 blogs, kikita pa ako. God Bless Everyone!

Our New Business Venture

2009-09-23T18:18:00.000-07:00

Just recently, me and my friend came up with a business idea. Since we are really fond of creating beaded ornaments such as bracelets, necklaces and earrings - we decided to form a partnership. We decided to create several pieces of beaded accessories and we'll gonna sell it out in different bazaar in our area. We already came up with a plan on how to advertise our products. We would give out flyers and will put up a big banner in our exhibit booths. Our common friends promised to help us inform people about our products by buying some pieces and showing it to their officemates and friends as well.

We also plan to join trade show displays to advertise our products. We might need to get a truss to show off our accessories and to attract people to come and see our booth. I also saw one of those really cute logo floor mats which would really help us promote our biz and we will definitely get one of those to help us advertise our accessories. We are really excited on this new venture. As of now we are still on the planning stage but we already have necessary tools and materials to start creating several pieces. We plan to start small but I know through great designs and affordability of our accessories plus the help of advertising thru exhibit booths and word of mouth... I know we can make it big someday. Will update you more of this great experience once we're able to finalize things. Wish us luck!

Haunted by an Old Memory

2009-09-29T12:51:00.000-07:00

He again chatted with me saying he got a tech support position on the same company I am working for only he was deligated in UP Ayala Hub. To be honest with you, I don't know why instead of being happy... I was kind'a sad about it. I resigned from my first job because of him... because I don't want to fall in love with my best friend. We're not able to see each other for five long years and then boom ... all of a sudden, he would again show up saying "at last! we're now officemates!" He does'nt have to go to the path I've walked through. I'm soooo much over him already since the day I confessed to him what had transpired in the past which made me decide to leave my job. I was kind'a devastated as he still doesn't have any clue how much he've hurted me. I don't want him to to ruin my life again. I managed to be fine without him... I managed to survive. Now, he's back - wanting me to be a part of his life again...it's just so unfair. I don't know why God allows me to go through the same path again but I believe that this is just a test of faith. I must be strong... I must learn how to resist. I must not give in...not anymore...

A Change of Heart

2009-09-17T23:29:00.000-07:00

It has been a great week! I happen to meet with an old friend yesterday and I may say...my feelings for him was not the same as what I used to have before. Things changed drastically. I don't know why I had this sudden change of heart but I am really thankful to God for leading me in the right path. If I still have this strong feelings for him till now, it would be very hard for me to decide whether or not to settle with my present boyfriend. God really moves in mysterious ways and I know that all of these things that transpired within the past couple of months are a part of His plan. Thank you Lord for changing my heart. I now know what you want me to do. Amen.

Medical Procedures For The Old You

2009-09-13T21:01:00.000-07:00

Question for mothers out there ... do you often dream of being able to see yourself again the way you look before you bore your child? Do you often dream of what life would be if you had your bodies back to the way they were before they had babies? I bet thousand of mothers are still wanting to get back into their original shape but most are too busy caring for their children that they cant find time going to the gym or even work out at home just to loose all those extra weight they gained...well if you are one of them...worry no more. There are a lot of medical procedures out there that promises total change in your appearance! Most of those medical institutions that offers such services are even situated closer to where you are! Is'nt it amazing?

Those institutions offer medical procedures such as Breast augmentation ( the procedure involves using implants to fulfill your desire for fuller breasts or to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy), check on California breast augmentation for more info about this procedure. Many also offers liposuction procedure such as Beverly Hills liposuction. Liposuction is a surgical technique that improves the body's contour by removing excess fat from deposits located between the skin and muscle. They promise to make you thinner by almost half of your previous body size! Amazing!

Los Angeles rhinoplasty is also a procedure that most women are dying to undergo. Doctors facilitating the operation promises to improve the overall look of your face by making sure that your nose if proportional to your face. Improving ones nose would surely affect the totality of one's facial look.

I understand that some may decline this kind of idea of undergoing such operations as they lack knowledge as to how these procedures are being handled...but having the expertise and technical advances of surgeons supported by this site - you need not worry...these are fast, safe and easy procedures. Make sure that you pick the best medical institution. Being a mother is definitely not synonymous with being fat, ugly and unattractive. It should be treated as a state of being a complete woman. So if you are struggling to revive back your old passion for beauty, try undergoing such procedures for your own self fulfillment. Good Luck!

Good day! We'll I'll gonna share with you my plan of putting up a small canteen in front of my father's house. For the longest time, me and my hobby is planning of putting up a small business so we could save for our future family. We've been living together for five years now and is also planning to get married and put up a family next year. We already want to have a baby of our own because besides the fact that I am already turning 30 next year, pressure are all around. LOL! So here we are finding ways to get extra income for our savings.

I am checking the net for things I might need to buy for our small canteen. I'll definitely buy one of those Slow Cooker - it cooks at athmospheric pressure and love heat over a period of time, they say such cookware retains much of the flavor that would be lost by other cooking methods so it would definitely improve the taste of the food we would server. I'm also planning of getting one of those Countertop Microwave Ovens among others. I'm planning to open up the business 2 weeks from now specializing in Chinese dishes so I would also need to purchase a Chinese Cookbooks to widen my knowledge about Chinese cuisine. Since I have so limited time I decided to just order these items online through ShopWiki. I was able to see a lot of pretty items here and the price are so reasonable too. The site provides hundreds of items to choose from and of course, the more options you have...the better chances of you getting the item at it's lowest price. Furthermore, shopping online is really convenient and would really save you time and money as you don't need to wait through a long line just to purchase those items. I can even purchase that French Cute Door Refrigerator I've been dying to buy in just one click!

I can't wait to start our business and if God permits, I would retire from my full time work in a call center two years from now and help my hubby with our food business. My friends told me that if your business is related to food, you can't go wrong. I really hope so...I am still working fulltime in my day job so shopping online really does miracle. I can save time and money in going to and fro the shop to purchase those big bulky kitchen appliances. I pray all of our plans would succeed in God's grace. Wish us luck!

APPLICATION

2009-07-19T12:16:00.001-07:00

Last week, Tuesday, I had the chance to take an exam for my application as OFFLINE REPRESENTATIVE FOR TIER 2 in CVG Commonwealth. This is the first time in three years that I'll gonna apply for a promotion. I received an email last Monday that I need to go to the site to take an assessment for Tuesday and to tell you honestly, sobrang kinabahan ako, grabe! I immediatedly reviewed some common terminology used in DSL and went to the at&t helpsite to check for frequently asked questions. Right after my shift, I with Jojo, went straight to the site but unfortunately, nobody knows anything about my exam. Even the receptionist doesnt have the slightest idea on where I need to go. Though I already showed them the text message I received on where I need to take the exam - the guards send me off to LG, UG, 2nd and 3rd floor. I waited at the lobby for almost an hour now and I am really planning to leave in another 30 mins. Good thing, I texted the one who informed me about the exam and after an hour (watda!) she replied asking me to look for a certain TL. The guard accompanied me and informed the TL that I have been there for more than an hour now. The TL is so kind and asked me to take the exam at the conference room for 30 mins. I never thought that the exam would be that easy - it is a five part exam and I answered 3 parts I believe with flying colors. I am positive with the result of it. After 30 mins, the TL came back asking me if I am now ready for the interview. I said yes but he said that it would be better if I am with my TL when they conduct the interview. In that way, my TL can agree to what I am saying. He said I just need to wait as they will contact my TL for the interview schedule with the Operations Manager. I asked him how would I know if I passed or I failed the exam and he replied saying "This test is not a test if you would make it or not - this is just an assessment on how well you know some technical stuff". He said that it is a TIER 2 position w/c I really cant understand. As far as I know, I am already a Tier 2 Tech Support Rep. Well, he also said there are also 2 other applicants from our site and they might get one from us as the position is urgent. I went home tired, hopeful and happy. I did my best - I think that's what really matters. To you be the Glory Jesus, Amen!

MY DREAM OF BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR

2009-06-07T04:08:00.000-07:00

Lately, my time is usually being spent in front of my PC - checking, researching and finding ways to earn extra so we could be able to save for our future. I want to have one so bad that I search most all day for the past 2 days now, with lunch and dinner as my only break time. No wonder my eyes feel tired and heavy all the time. I've never been obsessed like this before - I've never wanted something so much that it takes me hours to research about it. Just this morning, I saw an episode of "Kabuhayang Swak na Swak" about an entrepreneur who is making it big in business of selling UP inspired t-shirts and right threre and then, I suddenly felt that this too is the business for me. I've again searched on the net and was able to get some infos on how to start up one. First, you must have your own design for your tshirts. I don't know how to draw, I am not so good in creating logos and designs, but I do know one who is good at it... My kuya Elmer! Once I was able to start this biz, I would ask him to work for me instead. It would definitely help him raise my nephew. The other things to consider are finding the right machines to print the designs on the shirt, looking for the best tshirt suppliers and where to market the items. Among the latter three, finding the best tshirt supplier will be the most challenging thing to do but I do believe that once I was able to study the ins and outs of the business...everything will go well. I hope all my prayers will be granted. Thank you for the desires of my life Lord, Amen!!!
