The employment hunt has begun.

September 14th, 2009 · No Comments ·

It’s been quite sometime since I last posted and no, its not because I have been looking for work. Rather I had been swamped with so much paperwork and presentations at the university that all my blogs and websites has been placed on the backburner. However, I am quite ecstatic to announce that all the manual labor hardwork and sleepless weeks caused by the final two hell weeks before the final examinations has paid off. I am going to be graduating very soon and will be joining the ranks of the country’s unemployed. :P

Since graduation day is less than a month from now, I have started the employment hunt. I do know that I want to pursue baking (I really love it) but to be able to continuously experiment on recipes I need to have ingredients. As we all know, the main ingredients of cakes and other baked products are flour, butter, milk and eggs. It’s quite expensive so I have to find a stable source of income so I can fund my passion. :D I’ll try freelance writing again and hopefully it will be enough to fund my mass baking sprees. I kid you not. When I get the itch to bake, I prepare several batches for taste-testing and our neighbors benefit from it. People at home are already sick of eating my baking experiments that they have stopped wanting cake. :)

Wish me luck on my hunt. Hopefully I get lots of writing opportunities so I can pursue my baking. :)

Termination due to attrition rate quotas?

July 22nd, 2009 · No Comments ·

I was just wondering,

Are BPO’s allowed by law here in the Philippines to terminate an employee rather than accept their resignation (which is backed with a medical reason) when they have a target attrition rate limit during a specific period?

Attack of the Flu.

June 5th, 2009 · No Comments ·

Rainy days are here again and apart from the seasonal regular influenza, it has brought with it the A(H1N1). Classes have been suspended, communities have been alerted and safety precautions have been dispersed. I just hope we don’t get too much casualties from this one.

Passive income is the way to go.

May 26th, 2009 · No Comments ·

At least for me. Being back in school means I have to spend more time in doing assignments, group projects, term papers and studying for recitation and exams. I still spend a considerable amount of time on the internet but most of it is spent for research, collaborating with groupmates and sending emails to resource persons that we need for our class presentations.

How NOT to have a fun day: Go webhost hunting.

April 26th, 2009 · No Comments ·

I kid, I kid. Well sort of. I like reading about webhosts and actually looking for reviews about them. It makes me feel all giddy inside. (insert weird awkward moment) It is fun if you have a current webhost that you love and is happy with. You feel so happy and comfortable knowing your blogs and websites are in good hands especially after reading those horrific reviews other webhosts seems to have all the time. The sweet happy dream ends and starts becoming a nightmare once you receive an email from your loved webhost in the middle of the wee hours of the morning (granted its normal time there since they are on the other side of the globe) announcing that they will be closing shop soon, ie. next month.
