Wake me up when September Comes
"Wake me up,when September comes..."
Sorry folks but I intentionally changed the last word of the lyrics from one famous song back then. You might be wondering why use that as intro but let's just say that I'm expectant when September 1 comes and it's not because of anything but I just kinda like the idea that it's already "ber" months! (And not to mention, I'm ...
Lessons from Moses, the Prophet
Moses, one of my favorite characters in the bible portrays the perfect example of my own fear before. If you would remember his account on Genesis, Moses met the Great “I AM” through a burning bush. With all God has told him, the first fear he had was that he doesn’t know how to speak. Like Moses, I was at one time in my life ...

As I've mentioned on my previous blog, I'm still on search of the "perfect" church and Karlos and Andoni is helping me out! Okay, Karl and Andoni are my uncles on my mom's side but I'm older than them and they keep on pushing me to tell their friends we're cousins because they find it "jologs" to be one at their age. Not to mention ...
The Things We Do On Weekends
Have you ever felt that the things you do on your weekend has the same routine ever since you started working? I do, and for some odd reason, I feel unproductive having to stroll in malls, buy some items or even just stay at home doing some stuff like reading a good book or being online the entire day.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still the home-buddy (aka introvert) ...
Some Things That Are Worth Blogging For Now
I’ve been living in Bacolod City for more than 2 months now and I have to admit, I surely miss home and my family. Although there were side trips going home, nothing beats an hour travel going home and longer stay over the weekend. Let’s say going home is a “necessity” I cannot accommodate so often.
I also miss the kids so much. Having 3 adorable ...
A Short Stint At Home
I had the chance to go home for a quick vacation to get my last pay and enjoy the Charter day celebration in my hometown in Tanjay. Geez, I really miss my family so much.
One of the highlights in my stay is spending it with my family. I had to make the most out of my time there that I didn't really went out that ...
June’s RoundUp Post
I'm getting settled in Bacolod already and I thank the Lord for the first pay that I got (which is by the way, in bulk covering a month's time).
For those of you who are following my blog, you might notice that I wasn't able to blog much for the month of June 2010. I actually have five blog posts this month, three of which were made just in one ...

The End of the BPO Era in the Philippines
Business Process Outsourcing is a booming industry in our country today with more than a thousand contact centers sprouting from Metro Manila down to Cagayan de Oro. For young professionals like me, this is definitely the “in” thing when it comes to corporate work and building a good career in multi-national companies.
Filipinos are globally competetive and if we pursue excellence in this chosen career path, ...
Number 1 by a SMILE
I just arrived yesterday from a 2 days workshop about Customer Service workshop themed “Number 1 by a smile” conducted by Joey Pacheco from JCP Training at our Cebu office.
The workshop was filled with games, learning sessions and a challenging trainer who naturally plays the role of a teacher and a comedian at the same time with a little twist of “narci-ness” (if there is such a ...

If you're one of those faithful few waiting for my supposed to be birthday blog, my apologies for missing this particular post for 2010!
I'm already 27 years old now and looking back seems to be telling you guys again what I've written quarter of a lifetime. So, now that I'm almost 30 years old (which is hard to believe), I'd like to share a song ...
Another Update before the long weekend.
It's nearly 2 weeks now since I started working in Bacolod and I'd say I'm doing good adjusting to the language, the culture and the life of a semi-urban city as I know it.
But I have to be honest that I don't speak fluent hiligaynon and that makes me speak tagalog most of the time. I can quite understand the people around me but I ...
The Convergys Summer Escapade
The sizzling summer in Bacolod was ended with a big blast from one of the top BPO players. The company outing held in Sta. Fe was well attended with around 600 employees coming from the different accounts and the resource unit. It was a day filled with free food, exciting games and activities and definitely the hot bods from the fashion show.
Here are some of ...
The Round-Up Post
This will be one of the many post I intend to pursue on a monthly basis moving forward. It can help me focus and reflect on the things I do on a monthly/daily basis and see where I'm getting at hopefully. And since it's still the first few days of June, I decided to have a round-up post to what happened in May 2010 and ...
The Convergys Company Outing
I'll be in the company outing of Convergys Bacolod at Sta. Fe, a known resort in the area. This will be my first company outing for the last 5 years. I seldom attend company activities such as these because it's an opportunity to go home and unwind after a busy week in the office.
I wanted to join to see and get the feel of the ...
A Blog about “The…”
The First Week
Tomorrow marks my first week in my stay in Bacolod and I’m still getting the hang of it. I'm excited to be in a new place after working for almost 5 years in Dumaguete. I consider this an upgrade from a laidback city to a semi-laidback city if there's such a term.
The week has been good and productive so to say and I'm ...
Just These Days
I arrived around 8:00pm last night in the City of Smiles and it was a tiring travel from Tanjay to Bacolod. I sat for almost 7 hours in the non-aircon bus just to make sure I arrive in Bacolod a day before the contract signing.
Yes, I'll be working in Convergys -Bacolod and will start immediately by tomorrow. The exciting part is that I'll be working ...
The New Route I’m Taking
Finally, after much thinking and ranting about moving out I've decided to resign and look for another opportunity outside. This week will be my last few days in TeleTech and I'm making the most out of it.
It has been 3 years and 5 months since I first started with TeleTech. It has been a good journey in this side of the corporate world that taught ...
Some Thoughts from Nowadays
There are a lot of things to be excited about lately in my life. I've been getting good feedback with my applications from other companies and I'm being pre-identified for some positions and will be having other final interviews within the week as well. Surely, this can be a chance of a lifetime for someone like me and I thank the Lord for that!
But with ...
Work Principles
Principles as defined by the dictionary as "an accepted or professed rule of action or conduct...". If I am to define work principles, then it should be "an accepted or professed rule of action or conduct you place yourself with in relation to work and the workplace."
Everyone would probably agree with me in saying that we have our own principles in life that sometimes other ...
It’s Election Time, Now What?

Life Spammers
I hate spammers!
I've been having problems with them ever since I transferred my domain. I don't know where they came from but I usually receive more than 20 spams in a week. Now today was way overboard, I received 38 spams in my comment area and it took me time to delete all of them!
I kind of imagine experiences and issues in life lately as ...
Hire Me! Page and the need to find work…

I finally got over the idea that there will be an expected increase with my pay. I purposely ...

I'm learning much but sad to say,I'm not earning much. ...
A Mid-Summer Blog Rant
Summer is here and most of the blog rants I know of speaks of the very topic I am not that excited to share. What makes summer exciting is the idea that the scorching heat of the sun makes you wish you were somewhere else, drooling over a halo-halo or ice cold softdrink spending time with friends and family (or either) somewhere where there is ...
A “Wee Hour” Post
The last post was around 2 weeks ago and I think it's high time for me to post something - and something that makes sense. As many of you know, I'm always tied up with work that I'm beginning to adapt the old motto of our company "My workplace,My home..." which is bit of a disadvantage for me.
Speaking of work, I just arrived after a ...
