Singkwenta Mil

Singkwenta Mil…

Isang linggong tambay…

Bagong damit, bagong gamit…

Gastos dito, gastos doon…

May mali ba?

Isang linggong tulog…

Redhorse ang toma, sunog baga…

Bisyo dito, bisyo doon…

May tama ba?

 

Singkwenta mil ang halaga

Perang binayad, sapat nga ba?

Saan ko gagastusin?

Bahala na…

Sige gastos pa!

my writing pen runs out of ink…

It has been a while since the last time I post a story here on my blog. I had so many thoughts to write then, I just had no time to do it. My work had occupied a lot of my time in the office (presumably) that I had never experienced it since then. Well, office has just never been so busy… Not until…

Crossed Out

We had our general assembly with our CEO last Tuesday and he announced it himself. National Pen Philippines will be permanently close… It has been a decision that came from a thorough examination by the Company of its present and prospective financial performance, especially in light of the global economic recession that has had a significant impact on the Company. We’ll all lose our job within the next 30 days. Silence…

I’ve been working with the company for the last 2 years, 11 months and 9 days now which means that I’ll be leaving more than my work and experience. I have been very thankful with the job that I got from NPC. I’ve done outbound sales, online chat service, online web order process, customer service and inbound sales. It has been a great opportunity that I will never forget. I feel like I’ve learned so much even though there have been a lot of changes in our company. NPC family means so much to me. It has been a great experience to work with everyone and the environment that we have in the office is more than what someone can expect. It has been said that in a call center industry, people will just come and go but with NPC, it is different. The friendship created and shared will always be remembered by everyone for sure and will not be forgotten. Glimpse…

I searched more details about National Pen to know if there is an article written about what had happened to us. Indeed, our story has been told…

TIMES GAZETTE

With God’s grace and guidance, things will be better after the NPC experience. Heads up everyone! See yah all after!

Marian Rivera Experience

You just might be wondering why I have to put such a title for this particular post, well as the subject goes; I just had my photo shoot with Marian Rivera. I got this from JAG Black Studio website. It is actually a concept on their website wherein the two models of their current line are having this video shoot. The two models, Marian Rivera and Will Devaughn, are both doing their post and you will have this point and click camera application in which at the end of the time allotted for you to shoot, you will be able to get the result of your photo session. I thought that the website is excellent and I thought that this is the first time I went to see that kind of application for a website. I thought the website is cool pare! The website has the description: Control the camera and snap away a reel of photos that are to be published in your Jag Black Book magazine. The website is presented as: THE JAG STUDIO. Photograph Marian Rivera and Will Devaughn. Select your best pics, email them to friends and be published in your own online JAG Black Book! I did not submit my pictures and if you will get back with the title of my post, on how was my Marian Rivera experience goes… How I wish… Just do try it!

Little Manhattan

Nothing’s as big as your first love.

littlemanhattan

Rosemary: But I thought you hate me.
Gabe: I don’t. I lied.
Gabe: [thinking] I wasn’t gonna be like my father. I wasn’t gonna let all these things left unsaid smother me.
Gabe: Rosemary, I love you.
Rosemary: You what?
Gabe: I do. I’m sorry, but I love you more than anyone’s ever loved. I love you, I love you, I love you.
Gabe: [thinking] How’s that for letting it all hang out there? And hang, and hang, and hang.
Gabe: You think you might wanna love me, too?
Rosemary: I don’t know what I think, Gabe, I’m only 11. I don’t think I’m ready to be in love.
Gabe: I’m not ready and I’m doing it!
Rosemary: Maybe I was wrong, maybe girls don’t mature faster.
Gabe: No they do, they do, you know they do. You even said so at the park. We at least mature at the same rate.
Rosemary: I don’t know what mature is anymore, but I’m really happy you came. Do you want to dance, Gabe?
Gabe: Sure, what the hell.

saRisaRitots: One Year Blogging

It has been 4 days now since this blog celebrated its one year on the World Wide Web. I started with saRisaRitots last March 07, 2008. I really have no idea on what to write and what will be the content of my blog. Let’s say that I was just thinking the idea of think then. It all came up on my head to simply write things and stories under the sun that may have been perceived by the norms or society in general as nonsense or whatever it is. Each subject of my post pertains on my experience from the time being. This blog in a way describes my personality to care or not to care on things around me and from what God made me to experience that I can either learn from it or simply ignore it from the given time and learn it then after. I just thought that there is so much in this world that we can learn about along with so much in this world that we have not learned yet. And of course, this blog made me release or express all of the thoughts in my head. It also made me practice my writing skills again. I may have been abrupt on some post that I have written here and puzzled the point of my stories but then I would just like to let someone who reads the post or my story to have their own thoughts for it.

Journey of a Free Mind

I woke up today at 5:00 pm and initially check my phone… 1 message received… It was from Karen… “Dear wala na si Francis M…” Goose bumps followed… Memory triggered… His music played on my head… Images shoot in the air…

“I look forward to the pain as I know my journey is on full speed ahead. I will not be bold to say that without asking a favor from you all. PLEASE PRAY for me as I undergo treatment. Your prayers, as always, have sustained me. And am sure the Lord will listen to all our prayers. To His will I submit myself.” – Francis Michael Durango Magalona (FrancisM, Kiko, Master Rapper, The Man From Manila, King of Pinoy Rap and a Free Man)

I thought that Pinoy music will surely miss him and please do pray for him. May he rest in peace and be with the Lord. Please do check his last few blogs at a Free Mind… Peace!

The apple tree…

“Women are like apples on trees, the best ones are on the top of the tree. The men don’t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and don’t want to get hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the grounds that aren’t so good but easy. So, the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who’s brave enough to climb all the way to the top because they value quality.”

How brave and far can you reach at the top of the apple tree?

What’s mutual with funding?

mutual-fund1

Once there were three women who got common goals on their career; the three friends are Rebecca, Carrie and Gloria. Rebecca is a financial journalist, Carrie is a hardworking columnist and Gloria is a singer. They have been friends since they were in 7th grade and know each one’s life very well.

 

One day, all three had breakfast in a Chinese restaurant and talks about their dream business. They all agreed on setting up a salon/ hairstyling business. They would like to enter that indulgence business wherein as women, they absolutely loves about. Rebecca plans to invest P100K and Carrie, being a single mom, plans to invest P80K. The total amount of investment is supposed to be P350K as from what they have got of the feasibility study they made for the business. The salon and hairstyle shop will be called CHARM with the tag line – “It’s a women’s secret…” J They need to have P170K to complete the investment which is an easy investment for Gloria. Gloria still sells big time from her concerts and commercials so money for her is not a problem. She trusts her friends a lot and investing into something she likes as well is enough to complete the target amount of investment.

 

The business has been set up and all of the required papers have been submitted. The marketing and promotion has been done as well. The last thing they are waiting is the business operation itself which they all got a problem of. The girls are all busy on their career! They have not thought of the daily operation in which there is an actual manager for the business.

Here comes their reliable friend, the gorgeous Blake. Blake had an experience in salon business for a while wherein she used to work with Bumble and Bumble back in the US. Blake agreed to be their fund manager wherein Blake asked to have P10K for her monthly salary and a 10% front load fee. The fund manager will be the person who will manage their individual investment. The front load fee that Blake asked is for the initial percentage that she will get from the payment or salary that the investors will be getting from their business. The 3 women investors then agreed that on every 90% gross they will be receiving each day from their business, the 30% will be divided each and the 60% will be for the future funding of their business wherein they are planning to set up another branch.

 

A mutual fund is a professionally managed type of collective investment scheme that pools money from many investors and invests it in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, and/or other securities. The mutual fund will have a fund manager that trades the pooled money on a regular basis.
