Dorm-ant

This blog has been dormant for a quite sometime. Luckily,  its not blocked or banned. This post will be blast from the past so here it goes. Wooosh!

November 5, 2011
A job fair was held somewhere in Manila offering positions from a well known bank. So I prepared for that day. I brought all my documents needed and off I go. At the job fair I met applicants like me whose reason is mainly just to have a job. I passed the interview and written exams. The next day I had my medical exam. It took a month before I finally got the certificate that I am fit to work.

January 2012
Our training. Everything is taught. Not toxic, no pressure at all. How we all wish we're just in training. After 3 weeks of gunshot and information overload training, we're sent to our respective branches. This is the start of a newbie dilemma. Lots of errors even your hands and feet are not enough to count it, shortages you should pay, overage you should give back, endless questions, slow pace transaction, hard to reach or hard or to talk to co-workers, can't-figure-out-attitude officers. How we wish we're all just in training.

January...February...March passed... I deal with different kinds of clients. Irate, submissive, and freak of the world. First two months was a bliss. I got to buy things for myself, for Sophie, and for the peops here at home but the following month as Gaspard and Lisa say it was catastrophe! (in french). More errors occur. Bloody lot's of it! Then little by little, I started to frail. Heavy heart, heavy feet everyday on my way to work. I'm just not happy anymore. I try to give a spark my will to work, though but it wont. So I decided to to end it so as to not perish or peril my co-workers. It should be immediate. They told me things like it's not easy to find a job these days, just go with it, etc. I told to myself, go on and be on my shoes and I persist. April 16, I'm free...almost. Still waiting for the clearance and separation pay, if there's any.

As of now, I'm living my life as a mother taking care of my child and a wife tending to the needs of my husband. Such a task!

I realized that it is so hard to work when your heart and mind was not on it. I felt like I'm a slave serving my master. I hope to find a job that I don't feel like working at all somewhat close to my degree.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

My Online Journey

A friend and classmate of mine in the person of Jenny Barriga, introduced me a home based online business opportunity that according to her, will help me have a financial and time freedom just using Internet, my Facebook and other social networking sites - Supreme Wealth Alliance (SWA). Before I join, I struggled. I don't have the money to invest in the business opportunity. I almost sold my mobile phone to join in SWA but my brother came to a rescue. He lend me Php 2,500 (equivalent to US$55) and I am so thankful he did. After that, I told Jenny that I already have the money so she instructed to deposit it to bank account of one of the coaches, affiliated to SWA, which is the Tambay Academy. After I deposited the money, I took a picture of the receipt and send it to her as a Facebook message as per her instruction. Then I started doing the business, right at the very same day. I started posting photos, videos, tag friends and so on and so forth without reading the first th...

Busy little bee

These past few days, I've been busy working on my application in a NGO entity. For the mean time, I do volunteer work in that office as I wait for my starting date. I will be a part of the fund raising department and communications group. My work is on contractual basis meaning I will stay for 3 months then if they like my performance, they will renew my contract for another 3 months and so on and so forth. But in the event, they will not renew my contract or if I request it to (maybe), I'll just find another job. That's life. Life goes on. I hope I can handle this job well and will do my very best to handle and face it. :)

Sure-real Moments: Labor Day (Full Version) + Birth Day + Happy-dreadful Day

As I said before it's not the day for the migrant workers, it's the part of pregnancy where all your guts, emotion, finance and bodily strength will be put to a test. Morning of August 18, 2001, I started having the contractions. It felt like its ripping my hips off of my body. I immediately tell it to my Mama and said "Wala pa yan. Kapag sunod-sunod na yan at madalas, manganganak ka na. Lakad lakad ka lang. ( That's nothing. When you feel the contractions more frequent and comes in second, you're on your way. Just walk around.) After hearing my Mama's assurance, I spend my no ordinary day doing light house chores. As the night struck, contractions grew stronger. Can't eat my dinner, can't even sleep. That night was very exhausting. I walk around the living room for nth times while taking deep breaths. I even timed the contractions and write it down to monitor if I was really having getting-ready-to-give-birth contractions. As the night went deeper, t...
