July 22nd for Janet You are likely to choose today for the signing of a particular contract or to finalize a business agreement. Others are willing to compromise and negotiate, and the tables turn in your favor. |
First company. Nihon Software Outsourcing Vision, Inc. (NSOV). Actually ito ung very first na inapplyan ko and they were the first one to call me. The next day after I submitted my application sa Jobstreet they called me for an interview invitation. They are hiring software engr trainees na dadalin nila to
Ang Accenture naman. They called me at home sa landline (i was wondering kung bkit hindi sa cellphone..). The first time they called hindi ko nasagot because I was in school yata or naglalakwatsa ako. So that night they called again and I had my very first phone interview. Masungit ung babae. Hindi yata siya sa HR pero she was asking me all the questions yata para may record na ako sa knila just in case they want me to go there for an exam or an interview. Mahaba ung phone interview. I think it lasted around 30 mins. Ang haba kasi yata ng mga explanations ko. Ewan ko nga lang kung sinulat niya lahat un.
Ang IBM. Tumawag. Nakapagexam ako. Grabe sa time pressure. Ewan ko ba. Hindi naman siguro isang genius ung hanap nila pero sobrang kulang sa time ung exam. Imagine 15 difficult questions yta within what.. 15 mins. That means 1 minute per question na feeling ko it would take me forever to answer one. I wont be giving details kung anung klaseng exam. Unfair sakin un at sa ibang nagexam. Lol. Mabilis ung pagcheck nila sa exam kasi right after you take the exam siguro mga 15mins or so ibibigay na nila ung result. At sa kasawiang palad bagsak ako. Damn. Aminado ako I wasn’t prepared. I didn’t expect the kind of exam na binigay nila but since they said pwedeng magexam ulit after six months.. well kung wala pa akong work ng mga time na un (na sana hindi naman mangyare) or wala na akong work talaga e pwede na akong magapply ulit. Baka by that time handa na ako sa exam nila. Hehe.
Eto ang huli. Oracle. I applied matagal na tapos nagpasubmit din ako kay toni ng resume na hindi ko alam kung nasubmit niya. They called me siguro after 2 weeks and they asked me to take the exam. Ang tagal nung exam at nahirapan talaga ako. Sobra. So I wasn’t expecting their call after nun. Tapos tumawag sa hindi ko malamang reason e feeling ko naman palpak ung exam ko(honestly) at un they scheduled me for a non-technical interview. Sobrang kalmado ako nun. Before I got to their office parang sobrang kabado ako pero nung simula na nung interview with ms. Jaja naging relaxed naman ako maybe because I find her too nice siguro kaya hindi ako kinabahan. Hehe. Tapos they called me again for a technical interview which happened earlier this day. The interviewer is kinda cute kaya mejo nawala focus ko. Smile kasi ng smile amf. Hahahaha.. Ok na
Anu kaya mangyayare?
Tatawag pa ba sakin ung Oracle or hindi na?
Ang lunch break ang isa sa mga pinakahihintay kong sandali tuwing papasok ako sa office. Madalas kasi wala na kaming ginagawa pag mga ganung oras at dahil sa maraming tao na ang nagllunch-out ng 12noon kelangan naming lumabas ng maaga para hindi na maubos ang oras namin sa pagpila ng mahaba tuwing order ng pagkain.
Halos parehas lang ang nakakainan namin sa mahigit isang buwan ko sa ojt. Madalas puro fastfood. At madalas mahal. Wala naman kasing mabibilan ng murang lunch dito maliban nalang kung bibili kami sa mga Jollijeep dito na sa tingin ko naman ay hindi ko magagawa. At saka 1 hour lang break namin e kaya kelangan sa malapit lang kami kakain.
Ito ang listahan ng mga ilan sa nakainan na namin pag lunch:
1. Jollibee (Greenbelt)
Minsan nakakasawa na daw pero dahil minsan tagtipid at medyo namimiss na namin ang jolly spaghetti at chicken joy na kahit siguro tumanda na ako ay hinding hindi parin ako magsasawa. wag nalang isipin ang cholesterol pag kakain dito. hehe. kelangan kasi magenjoy. Mabilis ang service nila dun tulad narin ng ibang branch ng jollibee na nakainan ko na. At syempre palaging maraming tao! Paborito ng lahat ika nga.
2. Wendy’s (Greenbelt)
Mas sosyal ng konti sa jollibee kaya mas mahal din.
3. KFC (Rada St.)
Siyempre like Jollibee ganun din. Masarap. Macholesterol. Dito kami naunang kumain e pero hindi na naulit masyado kasing malayo. From paseo de roxas kelangan pang maglakad papuntang Rada St. Medyo maliit ung place nila kaya jampacked siguro nung nandun kami.
4. KFC (Greenbelt)
Unlike nung nasa Rada, malaki ung spot nila dun sa greenbelt. Mabilis ang service. Maraming tao pero hindi masyadong crowded at mahaba ung pila.
5. Pancake House (Greenbelt)
Bago namin nakuha allowance namin dito kami kumain. I ordered the usual, Pork Vienna. Mejo may kamahalan pero marami naman ung food pero hindi kasing dami nung sineserve nila sa Megamall. Sulit naman. Almost lahat ng nasa menu nila masarap especially ung sunrise steak.
6. Pho Hoa (Greenbelt)
Isang Vietnamese restaurant na hindi ko alam kung bakit natangay ako ni tin dun. actually that was the very first time na pumunta ako sa isang restaurant para umorder ng noodles. Hindi pa ako kumain dun ever. Mahal kasi. Lahat kami inorder namin ay Pho Chin, Nam (Noodle soup with brisket and flank). Just for a bowl of noodles 170+ isa. and regular bowl lang un. Pero sobrang nakakabusog. Masarap din siya and ang maganda dun hindi tinitipid ung ingredients like ung meat and ung noodles unlike dun sa ibang restaurants na sobrang mahal na tapos ung sineserve nila na food sayo tipid. So sa lahat I recommend this restaurant. Kung mahilig kayo sa noodles at sa vietnamese food.
7. Chef d’Angelo (Greenbelt)
I ordered the sampler 1 meal which consists of a pizza, a big bird fried chicken and pasta(you can choose between white sauce or red sauce). 130+ ung meal excluding drinks. A little bit pricey. But when you have a
big appetite like mine then you better eat here. Nakakabusog kasi ung chicken malaki talaga. tapos maganda pa service. maraming waiters kaya whenever you need anything mabilis lang. Tsaka the good thing I saw was they see to it na hindi naghihintay ung customer ng matagal. Kasi tinitignan nila every table kung sino pa ung hindi pa dumadating ung order. NO FOLLOW-UPS NEEDED!
8. Tapa King (Dela Rosa Carpark 1)
The first time na kumain kami dito sobrang daming tao. Pero as soon as we got seats dumating na agad ung order namin. Ung food nila mas mahal pa compared sa other fast food considering na ung serving nila ay mas konti at parang halos breakfast meals ung nasa menu nila parang hindi sulit na magbayad ka ng more than a hundred pesos for just a plate of Tapsilog. Meron namang bowl na 60+ pesos lang pero konti ung food. Yes the food tastes good pero kung titingnan natin ung kind of food business na un, it’s considered a fastfood and hindi ko malaman kung nagccater ba sila sa class A na tao at ganun kamahal ung food nila dun.
The second time we ate there was yesterday. Nainis kami sa bagal ng service nila. SObra. We waited for almost 30 minutes siguro before my food arrived. Ung kay tin and ian a little later than that. Parang mas mabilis pa kung nagpadeliver nalang kami siguro. Nung pinapafollow-up ni tin ung order sabi ko sa kanya dapat magalit siya e kasi dapat hindi nila pinaghihintay ng ganun ung mga customers nila. Yung isang customer nga nagalit na and she demanded a refund. kasi patapos na kami kumain still hindi parin dumadating ung order nila. Parang ang lumalabas tuloy they wasted their time there. Naubos ang oras nila at nasira pa araw nila. Malamang hindi na sila kumain sa tapa king dahil sa trauma. hehe.
Ayan. Actually sa lagay na yan nagtitipid na kami.
Teriyaki Boy is gonna be next on the list. I still have a lot in mind. Kaya lang matatapos na OJT ko. Hehe.
Lesson learned:
WAG MAGING MAKAKALIMUTIN!
Sumakay ako ng jeep kanina papuntang quiapo. Umupo ako sa dulo, sa may bandang babaan kasi bababa naman ako agad. Kinuha ko ung wallet ko sa aking bagong bagong bag (binili ko nung Wednesday.. haha) at kumuha ako ng barya. sais pesos.
May isang babae na nakasakay medyo nasa gitna siya kaya ipinaabot ko ang aking mumunting bayad.
"Bayad po."
Yan ang unang sabi ko.
Tapos inulit ko ulit..
"Bayad po.. Makikiabot po."
Anak ng baboy na kinatay ng 10 milyung beses!!!!
Kinuha niya cellphone niya at biglang nagtetetext text.. na halatang halata na sinasadya niyang gawin.. P#@*(()!!!!
Tapos inulit ko ulit.
Iniisip ko kasi na baka mahina lang ung boses ko na hindi naririnig nung ale pero tingin ko naman malakas boses ko. tumingin ako sa driver at nakatingin din siya. parang ususero na parang hinihintay akong magalit na ewan. pero hindi ko pinakita na galit ako.
"Pakiabot po."
Tapos inulit ko ulit.
"Paabot naman po."
P@#*&@(#&*!!! P!*(&*()@(!!!!
taena ayaw talaga.. Pakshet.. Dahil sa sobrang inis ko ako nalang mismo ang nagabot ng bayad sa driver na kung makatingin ay parang nakipagpustahan at halatang panalo siya dahil talo na ako sa laban dun sa ale. adik.
what's with that woman?! is she deaf or something....... amf..
Umupo ako sa tapat niya. At biglang dumami ang tao sa jeep. Nagpaabot siya ng bayad sa ibang pasahero. Gustong gusto kong kunin ung bayad niya at itapon sa labas ng jeep at dun niya pupulutin isa isa ang mga baryang nahulog sa daan na tiyak mahihirapan siya sa sobrang dami ng jeep sa paligid. Pero siyempre di ko ginawa. Takot ko lang noh. Behave ako nung panahong iyon. Nagtitimpi at nagdadasal ng taimtim.
Pinagdasal ko na sana manakaw ang cellphone niyang hindi ko malaman kung anung nokia phone dahil sa sobrang kalumaan.. hay. sana manakawan siya. bwiset. taena. kala mo kung sinung maganda na ayaw madungisan ang kamay dahil sa mga barya ko. potek.
Makakarma ka din.
Tandaan mo yan.
Bwahahahahhaha!!!!
Tapos pagdating namin ni tin sa classroom.. pota.. naimbyerna ako e.. sa Wednesday pa daw ang pasahan ng lintek na take home exam na un. Gusto ko ng ipasa e pano ba naman naisip ko din kasi ang pagpupuyat at paghihirap kong sagutan un ng 2 gabi tapos hindi pa pala pasahan!!! Waaaa…
Nainis ako siyempre. Kaya the whole time na nagkklase kami e nagpapabibo ako. Ewan.
May 3 numbers kasi galing dun sa take home exam ang sinagutan at pinasagutan samin sa board ni sir. About sa rotational mechanical system with gears. Naubos ang scratch papers ko kakasolve nun kagabi tapos nakita ko sa sagot ni sir na
After nung klase, nung nagsisipag alisan na ang aking mga kklase sa room e nagtanong pa ako kay sir at tinry ko ulit na ikorek ung turo niya kasi may
Napalakas ako ng kain ng lunch dahil dun sa kabibuhan ko. Masama palang maging bibo dahil nakakataba. Lol.
Nagpunta kami ni tin sa MOA after lunch at dun ay umikot kami at nagvideoke malamang. Sumakit lang ang paa ko at napagastos ako ng malaki. Hay… =(
Scam?
When I woke up today I saw this text message from ABC, daniel’s friend. He asked me to refer to him 20 contacts. I was pissed off. Let me tell you what happened to me and tintin the past week.
Thursday, Januay 10.
Tintin got a call from ABC. I don’t want to mention his name kasi he’s also a Mapuan. Pero we really don’t know him personally. We were even wondering where he got tintin’s number. Anyway, ABC was asking Tintin if she is interested in having a part time job. Sakto we are really looking for one so she said yes. She was told that she’ll be earning 15,000-30,000 pesos, not bad for a part time job. She was asked to go to their office the next day at 630pm, the address was 15th floor Octagon Bldg,
Friday, January 11.
After class, we went straight to Megamall to have lunch there tapos magliwaliw muna coz 630pm pa nga ung appointment dun sa “PART TIME JOB”.
When we got at the 15th floor of the Octagon Bldg we saw this huge PHARMANEX sign. There were lots of people on that floor. All of them were wearing business attires. I was thinking if we were on the wrong building or something kasi obviously we were on casual attire tapos kami lang ung mukang mga bata dun. Parang nawawalang bata kami. We didn’t have any idea what was going on. There was this small office na parang may nagaganap na interview. Basta wala kaming alam. Tapos napansin namin na beside that office e merong room which was filled with products. Tintin and I got the idea na NETWORKING BUSINESS eto. We wanted to leave the place right then and there. Pero ABC and DEF, parang upline something ni ABC, started to talk to us. Asked us why we wanted to have a part time job and what we would do to the money that we would get from “business”. Small talks lang. I don’t remember anything about them telling us the name of the “business.
After minutes of waiting, we were told to go inside a room with the rest of the people that were there. Sobrang dami namin dun. Cguro at least a hundred. Tintin and I were asked to sit apart. Pero dahil wala kaming kausap pareho and we were sitting there that seemed like forever(sobrang tagal kasi kami pinaghintay), I asked her na lumipat nalang sa tabi ko so we wouldn’t be bored to death.
It was almost 7pm. The presentation started. I saw the name “SYNERGY 1 VENTURES’ on top of the ppt slide. They were talking about NU SKIN ENTERPRISES, its background, the products they sell, and how we could be their partners. The whole presentation took 2 hours to finish. Grabe tagal. Pero I got interested. Ewan ko. When I heard I had to pay 12,600 pesos to be their partner, I was shocked. They said it was a small amount to pay dahil you’ll get 15k per month naman.
After the presentation. We were asked by DEF if we were interested. We said yes, but still told him that we have a problem getting the 12,600 kasi we’re still students and we do not know where to find the money. He was doing all the talking. He said he was able to pay for his college tuition fees since he started, he was able to go to hongkong, etc. because of the business. Masarap pakinggan diba. He said we are required to pay that Monday. GUlat ako e. I was thinking on how we can produce that big sum of money in just 2 days given that those 2 days are a Saturday and a Sunday. We were shown the products tapos un. He lent us a magazine that we could read. The magazine was obviously about NU SKIN din. He told us to meet them that Monday.
I was shocked pero I was determined to get the money and join them. SObra. I was so convinced with all DEF’s words that were stuck in my head (paying tuition fees on my own, helping my parents.. etc.. ). Tapos un.
Saturday and Sunday came. I wasn’t able to get the money I needed. I went through my mom’s things and found my passbook. I have 7000+ there. I planned on withdrawing 7K from my savings account. Uhm.. I was thinking twice. Pero dahil sa naiisip ko nanaman ung mga sinabi ni DEF e aion I took the passbook and put it in my bag.
Monday.
DEF called me while I was in my class and scheduled the meeting. I told him mga 3pm nalang cguro kasi nga baka matraffic kami on the way there. I told him I was able to borrow 5k lang. he said it was okay and that he’ll find a way to help me come up with the rest of the money.
Tintin and I talked about it tapos aion I changed my mind. Not that I was influenced by her not to join “the business” but I was kinda hesitant kasi. She said if im not 100% sure then I might as well not pursue it. I texted DEF and told him im not joining anymore but I’ll meet up with him to return the magazine.
When he approached me sabi niya agad “What’s the problem?” tapos I told him ayaw ko na. Then he sweet talked me again. He said ok lang daw kung 5k muna ibigay ko. I was persuaded the second time. Ewan ko what was going on inside my head. I think that was greed. Lol. Pero honestly he was so good at talking. I was so convinced in joining… This second time he didn’t say the name of the business again. NU SKIN and PHARMANEX lang. tapos un. I said wala pa ung 5K sakin I have to get it from a friend. He said to fill up a form para mareserve ung slot ko since 5 lang daw ung kukunin. He said to meet with him the next day. And then he gave me a brochure.
Tintin was so mad at me. Kasi nmn daw hindi ko pinanindigan ung sinabi ko na hindi n ko sasali. Even ako nagulat e. Sa totoo lang hindi ko lam kung bakit bigla akong napaOO. Weird nga. Parang nahypnotize. Lol.
Tapos that night tintin did a research and found so many blog entries about it. Puro negative ung nakita ko. Biro mo kaya pala di nila masabi ung name ng company nila is because sobrang dami ng names na ginagamit nila. Ung nakita ko Synergy 1 Ventures pero meron pang Synergy Ventures tapos Synergy Global International. Tapos I read na pagkajoin mo e bibigyan ka ng homework na MAGGGAWA KA NG LIST NG 300 CONTACTS NA IREREFER MO AT TATAWAGAN. Tapos hindi ko pa nakitang registered sa DTI or any government offices ung company nila. Sabi nila registered daw sila sa SEC pero sabi ng mom ni tin madali lang daw magparegister dun sa SEC e. Although registered sila sa SEC, I still think they’re illegally operating. Kahit internationally recognized ung NU SKIN at kahit anu mang product or company un at KAHIT SAANG LUPALOP PA NG MUNDO NAKAREGISTER YANG COMPANY NILA PERO HINDI NAKAREGISTER NG MATINO SA PILIPINAS HINDI SIYA LEGAL DITO! They are going to make people sell medicines pero they do not even stress na BFAD approved un! Hay. People these days are just so into money that they deceive people just to get rich. Cruel noh.
I texted DEF the next day telling him that I wont be joining “again”. SAbi niya pumunta daw ako sa office niya still kasi dapat ko daw ibalik ung brochure na binigay niya sakin. What the f*ck! E photocopy lang naman un. As if namang hindi niya kaya magreproduce nung brochure na un. Kung mayaman siya he wouldn’t even bother asking me to bring it back to him. Another tactic. Im so glad I didn’t fall for it again.
ETO ANG LESSONG DUN.
WAG MAGPALOKO AT WAG MANLOKO.
