Cold

Nope, I don't mean the chilly weather right now, what I mean is I have a cold.


I don't like having a cold. I feel like there's a dam inside my nose. You know that feeling, right? It's not the sticky and yellow one, it's like a water-like substance. It's clear and not sticky.

I don't like this. I got this two days ago when I was going to work. It was raining hard then and my socks were wet (not that wet), and my jeans were wet too. And when I arrived at work, with all that super cold air-conditioning and all, I instantly got a cold! Tadaaaa!


Hmmm, cold, cold, cold...

Who's Right?

Have you ever experienced riding on a jeep/fx then suddenly an MMDA enforcer stopped the jeep/fx that you were riding? I have. After the MMDA enforcer caught the fx that I was riding in,
a question suddenly bumped into my mind; who is on the correct side, the driver or the enforcer?

Maybe you have heard of a driver whine about those MMDA enforcers whom they often call "buwaya". That they (MMDA enforcers) are not doing their jobs well. Again, I have
heard of that. I even had a conversation with the driver and found out his opinion about this.

[This conversation is in Filipino language.]

DRIVER: PI na mga green boys na yan, hindi nila ginagawa ang kanilang mga trabaho na maigi.
AKO: Bakit niyo naman po nasabi yun?
D: Aba'y nagtatago sila tapos bigla na lang lilitaw at manghuhuli.
A: (napapaisip)
D: Yang mga yan, magagaling magtago at manghuli. Hirap na nga kami sa kita namin eh tapos mababawasan pa dahil sa kanila.
A: (tuloy pa rin sa pakikinig at pag-iisip)


----------

I summarized it a bit, but what bothered me was the line when he said, "Aba'y nagtatago sila tapos bigla na lang silang lilitaw ang manghuhuli."
I wonder, who was on the right side, the enforcer or the driver? In my opinion, the MMDA enforcers are doing their jobs very well. Those drivers whine about violations that
they "didn't" commit but they really do. And about the MMDA enforcers hiding, I think that is a very good strategy to see who are following the traffic rules.


These drivers don't have the rights to complain about the MMDA enforcers. If those drivers don't want to be caught by MMDA enforcers, they should follow the traffic rules
and never break it. Even the slightest violation can be seen not only by the enforcers, but other people as well. Even if there are no police enforcers around, as a Filipino citizen, they (drivers) should follow the rules. These are only simple rules but people tend to take it for granted.



How about you? Are you one of these drivers who only do good things when people are around? Think about it, progress starts by following simple rules.

Non-Stop Application Part 2

[[PRESS START TO CONTINUE]]

May 5, 2008

The HR, Neil, told me last last Friday (May 2) to go there (e-Tele) again at 9 am sharp. I did... but I was a little late (as usual). We had an assessment if we would take the LPET. So there, I was called to be assessed on where will they put me. When I entered the room, there were 5 people. I thought that the guy who called me would be the one to interview me, but I'm wrong! Those 5 people interviewed me...IT WAS A PANEL INTERVIEW!!! OMG! Ok, so I was a little nervous because I did not know what to expect. But it went great. I was asked about a topic that I wanted the most... and that was about MAGIC.


Well, they were a little curious about me and my magic life (maybe because you won't encounter a magician everyday). They asked me about David Blaine, Bearwin Meilly and other magicians as well. They also asked me if I have watched the movie The Prestige and asked my opinion about the movie. After that bloody interview, the thought of being endorsed in LPET came to my mind. But again, I was lucky. I was given a Job Offer! Lucky me!


After that assessment, my friend and I went to the recruitment team and passed the slip. The lady at the front desk told us that we should take our medical exam at Friendly Care across the building. So we did.


This was the most exciting part of the application! We went there with an empty stomach because we thought that it will only take a short while...and that's how our suffering started.

We arrived at Friendly Care and presented our slip to a nurse. We filled up a couple of forms. We had our x-ray and drug test. The worst part there was the drug test. It was not just the urine. We were gotten a sample of our blood. You may think it's just nothing but hey, we had an empty stomach at that time! So we were like dizzy after they got our blood sample. But thanks to that, we forgot that we were hungry.


After 1 and a half hour, we were done. We went to Starmall to eat Hong Kong Noodles, the noodles that I've been craving for a long time. We had the DOUBLE SIZE!!! (see how hungry we were?) :D

After the drug test, we went back to e-Telecare to have our contract signing...it was at around 2 pm already. After 2 hours, we were given half of the contract and signed it. After that, they advised us to go again there tomorrow for the whole contract signing. NOT AGAIN!!!!

May 6, 2008

Our schedule was 3 pm for the...I forgot the process. But it said that if we would complete that, we will be hired. We will be offered the complete Job Offer!

We had the assessment, we listened to a real call between a customer and a CSR agent. WTF?! I can't understand what the CSR agent was saying. He was so fast...like a machine gun! After the assessment, the HR said that we should wait for 1 hour to get the results. After the long wait, we had the results...WE PASSED! So the HR told us to wait for us to sign the whole contract. She said she'd be back at around 6:30. Guess what time did she come back? She came back at aroung 9:15! What the?! But honestly, it was worth the wait. When we saw the contracts, all of us there wanted to cry (don't believe me, I was just overreacting!).

And so there, that was what happened to me for about a month. I will start my training on Monday. Thank God. I owe Him a lot. I dedicate this work to Him of course. I wish that He would guide me all the way. :) Thank you Lord! :)

Non-Stop Application

Before anything else, this post should have been posted three weeks ago but due to my busy sched, I haven''t logged in for a very long time. Now that I'm here, it's time to spice some things up!
After my emo post below, it's about time to post my experience during that busy two weeks of mine.



Okay, so what really happened to me at that time? I will start on my first application at Stellar Philippines (yes, I am vying for a call center position). I went to Stellar at around 12 noon and filled-up an info shit...err...sheet. Just like the other jobs, I had a series of interviews. Anyway, just to make things short, I was sent to Powers Interactive and trained there for two bloody but happy weeks. And I returned at Stellar but sadly, I did not pass. So what did I do? I had a detour at two call centers; APAC (Cubao), and NCO (ABS-CBN). Again, I didn't make it. So I used my endorsement letter from Powers Interactive and went to e-Telecare Shaw. I was with Jalyn, a classmate of mine at Powers Interactive.



We went there at around 2 pm (yeah, I was late. Our meeting time was 1:30), and gave our endorsement letters to the beautiful lady at the front desk. We waited for about 30 mins. to 1 hour for the INITIAL INTERVIEW. It went easy so to speak. Then we had our written test at around 4 pm. When we were taking the test, I felt that I would not make it...but I did! After the exam, we filled up an application form and waited at the lobby. WAIT...WAIT...WAIT... WE WAITED FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS! Then we had another interview...a communication assessment interview. After that, we waited again for about an hour again and then we had our call simulation. In call simulation, we pretended that we were a real CSR agents. We did an inbound and outbound call.



After the call, the HR went to my room and brought a good news! I was endorsed to take the LPET (don't ask about its meaning 'coz I won't bother giving it here...err..I really forgot it! Haha!) on Monday. So they said we should go there again on Monday (May 5, 2008)...
