2. Nick Vujicic in Solano California State Prison.

    It brought tears in my eyes to see long-haired, muscular, beefy men hug Nick after being inspired by his talk. These guys, whatever they did, had been given hope.

    Nick will be speaking in Araneta Coliseum, Philippines tonight at 7:30 PM. I have a shift at 9 PM but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and i’m thinking maybe i could be late for a couple of hours and hear what Nick has to say to me…

LOL i know that Cameron meant it to have a tragic ending so there’s no way he could let Jack live, but still, i had a good laugh.

  4. The email that landed me an interview.

    I sent an email application to Reed Elsevier yesterday after hearing from a friend that they have excellent working environment that will make you want to stay for the long term. Here’s what i said:

    Subject: I don’t want to be a job hopper anymore.
    Attachment: Gulmatico_CV.docx

    I want a career. I want to climb up the ladder. I want to be stable in a company like Reed, and I am very much hoping that you will read the rest of this email and give me the opportunity. 

    Let me introduce myself: my name is Melody and I’ve been with three call center companies since graduating from college five years ago. A personal situation has arisen recently requiring me to have a change of environment, and I figured I can take this chance to finally be with a company I can call my second home. 

    I am a Journalist by degree and Customer Service Representative by experience, and it is my ardent wish to be able to sit with you and discuss my career options. I personally want to undergo a series of qualification exams for your Content Editor and Customer Support Specialist positions and get some advice on whether or not the time is right for my degree or my experience to be an asset to Reed.

    My CV is attached together with this email. Please let me know if you need more information and I will be more than happy to comply.

    Thank you so much for your time, and I’m hoping to hear from you guys soon. 

    I got a phone call this morning from Nick scheduling me for an interview on Monday at 1 PM. I’m excited. :)

  7. Paki-inflate din ng ego ko paminsan-minsan please.

    Move on na sa #Halalan2013, sa 2016 na ulit tayong mga netizens magkaisa sa pamba-bash.

    **********

    Isa akong taong sobrang baba ng self-confidence to the point na halos lahat ng galaw ko, hinihingian ko ng second opinion dahil hindi ako confident sa sarili kong desisyon. Sa’n mo gusto kumain? Ikaw, bahala ka. Bibilhin mo ba ‘to? Siguro, ano sa tingin mo? Magre-resign ka na? Hindi ko alam eh, ikaw ba, anong gagawin mo?

    Kaya kapag may nakaka-appreciate ng gawa ko, kapag nasasabihan ako na magaling ako sa ganito o ganyan, sobrang big deal sa’ken. Mayabang na ‘ko. Weird ba? I think deep inside, we all crave for compliments. Yung mapansin ng iba na ah, ang galing pala neto sa ganyan. At yung sabihin nila sa’yo na magaling ka.

    May talent ka pala sa photography, ang ganda ng blog mo!
    Dapat bumalik ka na sa pagsusulat, ang galing mo kaya.
    Ayaw mo ba mag-advertising? Sa mga ganun ka bagay eh.

    Wala lang. Kelangan ko ng confidence boost. Kelangan ko ng taong confident sa kung anong kaya kong gawin. That’s what i need right now.

  8. Trending si Nancy Binay. Gusto ko lang muna linawin na i have nothing against people who want to run for office even if they don’t have a political background. Meron akong gustong senatoriable noon, doktor siya at walang kahit anong experience sa pulitika. Pero napahanga ako sa sincerity niya na makapagsilbi sa bayan. Hindi siya tunog-pulitiko magsalita. Kahit hindi siya well-versed sa mga batas, malinaw sa isip niya kung anong gusto niyang gawin para sa Pilipinas. Sobrang sayang dahil hindi siya nanalo. :-( So ngayon, eto si Nancy Binay. Wala nang experience, wala pang malinaw na plano, walang platamorma. Hindi ko nga alam kung anong balak niyang gawin sa bansa. Tumayong nanay sa senado, ano yun? Sa buong campaign period, wala siyang napatunayan. Tumakbo pero ayaw pumunta sa political talks? Chill chill lang kasi madaming time? How can her supporters ask the country to trust her when she never even made an effort to earn it? Kaya ganun na lang siya awayin ng mga netizens. We don’t bash her because she’s dark; we bash her because we feel she doesn’t deserve her victory. The racism is just a byproduct. It wouldn’t even matter if Nancy was born as white as Kris Aquino; people will find a way to make fun of her. Oo, ako na ang nagsa-sour graping. I’m a supporter of Risa Hontiveros so pwede niyong isipin na umaampalaya ako. But i do hope you get my point. At para kay Nancy Binay, sana alam niya kung anong pinasok niya. Expectation from her will be higher.One wrong move, baka mas malala pa sa bashing na natatanggap niya ngayon ang makuha niya in the future. Good luck na lang Pilipinas.

  9. Wala man kaming ginawang special ngayong araw ng mga nanay, nais ko pa rin ipahatid ang aking pagbati… Happy Mom’s Day sa’yo Mader! Sorry hindi ko maibibigay ang request mong mag-asawa na ‘ko ahihihi!

  10. Work musings.

    Eto na naman ako. 

    Nung matanggap ako sa Startek, sinabi ko na sa sarili ko na magpapaabot ako ng at least one year dito. Para naman hindi ako mukhang hopper. Para maranasan ko ulit maging tenure. Pero simula nang lumabas ang mga chismis na baka daw ma-dissolve ang account dahil sa baba ng numbers — muntik na nga akong mawala kasi loser yung stats ko, pinaglaban lang ako ng TL ko — lagi ko nang iniisip kung saan ako lilipat. Hindi ko inisip na magta-tyaga ako.

    Ngayon, kasama ako sa 140 agents na matitira sa account starting this week. Kami ang magiging core group ng account, at dapat ma-convince ng magiging performance namin ang client na hindi sila dapat lumipat ng kumpanya. Medyo prestigious ang masali sa core group na ‘to. Chosen ones kumbaga. Performers. Kami ang magbabangon sa mababang standing.

    Pero hindi pa nagsisimula ang work week ko, nate-tempt na akong mag-apply sa iba. Bakit? Greener pastures. Dahil sa mundo ng call center, madaling madala sa mga pangako ng mas mataas na offer. May kaibigan akong nag-post sa Facebook na hiring daw sila ngayon. Nasabi niya noon na sobrang masaya siya sa new company nya, she feels needed, maganda ang working environment. Gusto ko rin yan masabi sa sarili ko kaya medyo naaakit akong magsend ng CV. Pero dapat nga ba? Pa’no ako magtatagal sa trabaho kung ganito ang mentality ko? 

    Lord, tulungan niyo po ako mag-decide plis… :-(

  11. So… sorry.

    In case you don’t notice, i’m on your side. So i really wish you would stop biting my head off.
