I've officially completed the first week of training at APAC Customer Services Cubao. It was very nice but a bit complicated. ahahaha. The place is good and the program is promising. My co-trainees are nice as well. I'm still in the adjustment period in being a supervisor to a rep. I'm still having complex ideas and a miss simpler details a few times. But all is good. Some are real nice and some are starting to show their true colors.
Nothing personal. Just business. Well, training is really good. I kinda liked both of my trainers in almost all aspects. Check out my posts at mylot to see what I somehow prefer. They're Cat and Renee. Real nice people. I don't know them fully as well as my new friends. The trainers are really good. So far, I'm blessed to have all of my trainers to be excellent in their field. Ever since my first work at convergys.
Product training is now coming up. On monday, we'll get down to business. It's crunch time. We'll I just expect that it would not be that difficult. I have a purpose and I have a goal. I intend to get it. =) Take care guys.

Video Games : Reminiscing the good old Gameboy
Hi guys! I just had a chance to play some old games while waiting for the start of my work. One game that I ran across with was FFA(Final Fantasy Adventure™) for the Nintendo Gameboy™. It was roughly more than 17 years ago since I got my hand on a Gameboy™ unit and one of the games that I played most was FFA. I played it until my batteries went out. Well, that game was really something since it was THE game that made me love Role-playing games.
FFA revolves around a hero who met a girl (no specific name. You can choose your own =)) who's a mystery and you travel all around the world discovering treasures and unfolding the truth that is Mana. You visit towns and explore dungeons and it is in real-time and not turn-based like Final Fantasy 3™ for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ and the rest of the Final Fantasy™ series on the Playstation™ and Playstation 2™. The characters are remarkable and you will feel like you are there walking around yourself.
My save file is already corrupted as wall as my Gamepak. But here are 2 screenshots of the game. Try it out. It's one of the oldest but one of the good rpgs to play. Enjoy and have fun!

Hey guys! It's been about 2 months since I started out at www.mylot.com. Basically, this is a social site where you could start almost any discussion that interests you and other members reply to them and you converse about it on the discussion. Interests varies incredibly. From walking to learning quantum physics, politics, life, and more. Almost anything under the sun. Check it out.
Now, there is something different about mylot compared to most discussion forums. This site is paying you to participate in discussions. Yes, you heard me right. They do. Based on your discussions, responses and comments, you earn a certain amount on a daily basis. The currency is in dollars and can be payable through paypal. Also, members can be referred. Please do click my link above, or below for mylot.
As with most of the members, they were attracted to the payout of the site. However, just a reminder that it isn't something that could replace real income. The payouts doesn't reach that high and it would take tremendous effort to at least reach half of the usual daily pay. This however, isn't ab obstacle. As you experience mylot, you will notice that you'll get more than money. It's the fact that the members are from all over the world and you hear lots and lots of ideas and different opinions, it will keep you glued for some time.
You'll have friends as well, you can post pictures and provide links. The discussions can really get lively especially when you have a very interesting topic. There are nice people but of course, not all opinions are the same and debates may occur. But it's fun. I suggest you try it out if you haven't yet. Once again, here's the link. Click here. Take care peeps!

July 1st, Light at the end of the tunnel
It's been a very fast paced July 1st for me. I am very much into completing my pre-employment. Oh, yeah, I'm now officially part of team APAC and I'll be starting in 2 weeks time. The timing was just perfect for them and I got what I want, what I need and what I deserve. I applied friday and I got the job on saturday. That was a long process but it's as fast as it could get. 1 day of processing indeed. I appreciate their promptness and their welcome.
I do appreciate my previous company as they've been such a great family and perhaps will always be. NCO has given me a lot. It may be sad but that's life. we need to move on. They will all be my friends. I've had such a great time there that I love almost everything in my work. The place, the people and the work itself.
Anyway, today I get to start completing my requirements. Wow. I'm almost done. :D It was a very looooooooong line at the NBI clearance office. Good thing, I came in early and i'm the 20th on the line. (hey, that's already a good thing. Usually, the # of people reaches 1000 a day). The PCs got messed up though and we stood still for 2 hours!!!! When the PCs were fixed (dang I could've fixed it myself) it just took 30 minutes and I'm done. Just got home and my knee acted up and I'm in terrible pain when walking and most especially when going up/down the stairs. Need to sit down for a while.
That's all for now! c'ya! Take care!

A work ahead : Part Deux
Well, it's been almost a month now since I started "job hunting" again. I did turn down one of the offers though. But, that's been done. I've applied to a couple of company I like and positions I prefer. I was about to begin to apply for jobs that is somewhat in my interest just to get a job and then go up again internally. But today was different...
A typhoon, "Frank", just passed through here in the Philippines and I started anew and applied again. I am almost in slight desperate mode as I really needed a job. I do not just prefer my old company, I love working there so I passed by this morning and went to the same process again. This time, it seems my prayers are slowly being answered. Not only did I have a chance to be back working with my company but I got a better position. It is not over yet though, I'm still for a final interview and I had the same feeling when I passed the other application with flying colors.
It is hard to apply for a job. I'm turning to my experience to land me a job as soon as possible. But it is way harder to apply for a job you like as there is somewhat a slight pressure on you if you don't get it. But for me, the more pressure, the more serious I get and the better the results are. But now, I am thanking God for this chance. I'll do the best I can to land that job I finally like. It's same as my previous position but on a different department. Nonetheless, my top priority is my previous company. Wish me luck! =) Thank you.

Philippines : Typhoon 'Frank'
Today, was a sad day in the Philippines. Typhoon Frank hit the Visayas region, central and southern luzon, Philippines yesterday. Here in the capital, it was around 5 AM, saturday, philippine time, when the lights went out to prepare for the typhoon. The winds started to howl and in the darkness you hear doors and windows slam. You can see the trees outside swaying. It was scary as well.
I just wish and pray that those people who are still missing can be found and nobody will get hurt anymore because of this typhoon. On the news today, a ferry in the central Philippines area cap-sized (source: inquirer.net) and more or less 700 are missing. I am hoping that all of them have the strength and will to survive until help arrives. I'm sure that the authorities are on its toes in helping out the victims. Amidst the different political and economical problems, calamities like these bring about cooperation from almost everyone. Differences are set aside.
As of now, it's 9 in the evening, sunday, the Typhoon is well on its way out to the western coast of the Philippines. It is still raining heavily from time to time and floods are still abound in most areas. To every one, take care and God Bless.

TV : I'm a charmed one!
Ohh, I just can't help it. I really really like the show Charmed. It took me a month and about a week to finish the entire 8 seasons. I find the show melodramatic and all the ordeals of the characters were really touching. I watched the series while it was on air a few years ago but I never got to see it chronologically. I skipped a few episodes and got lost with the story.
Well. It was really fun to watch and the plot was creative. The storyline is linear throughout the season. There were some good characters that were incorporated to the story of the three sisters and most of the main characters were kept. It was a bit sad though from Season 3 to 4 (spoiler alert)... when Prue was gone and Paige comes in. She (Rose McGowan) did a good job filling in for another sister. There was really a strong bond between the characters which made a solid story and a very good series.
I am not into magic that much though. I'm a fan of a few card tricks. :D But it got me interested and somehow got close to the characters. Aye! I just want to meet them (the stars of the show) and talk to them about it. Hopefully someday. Have fun watching! Hope you enjoyed it as well as I did. ciao!
