I don’t know how it is in other countries but in the Philippines, people have made business out of almost anything! I remember there is a cooperative in Payatas where people makes bags out of tetra packs of juices and stuff. You can even find shops in Recto, the university belt of the Philippines, that offer writing services to students who are having a though time making their thesis. I am not sure though if they offer essay writing services for you to buy custom essays. But I am sure though that we will find people there who can make your thesis for you to meet your requirements to finish school. Funny, for I heard that some of these shops would just copy some of the texts from somewhere and some would just rephrase the sentences but if you read it carefully the thought will be the same as the previous ones that they have created and sold to other people. I wonder if the teachers of those students really took the time to look into the papers that was submitted to them. Hahaha… I guess this is the reason why Ateneo De Manila has strict rules on plagiarism. They want to make sure that their students will really make their own thesis. And to prove that they are serious, they do not give any consideration to whoever commits them. They would even punish their own faculty members who commit such offense. But then again, you cannot stop these companies who wants to provide such services for there really is a demand for it.
Whooppeeee!!! I will be going to work in a few hours and this is my last day of work for the week. Oh, now I remember, I need to wear something like a rockstar for we have a theme day today. It’s employee appreciation day today and to make it fun, the Employee Engagement team decided to have a theme day. Now, isn’t that lovely? hehehe… So that means, my skip level presentation will really happen next week. Hahaha… that means I still have time to work on it over the weekend. Whohooo… Hehehe…
My friend pointed out a car that he wanted to buy when we were on our way to Mcdonald’s for lunch last week. I told him that it might not be a good idea since I heard that the accessories for the said brand are hard to find. He said “really?”. I told him that I am not sure though and told him to check the autoshops to make sure. Well, he’s not really into supping up cars, but I realized that like most men, he likes cars. However, checking the availability of the accessories and body parts of a car is not just for suppin up cars, it is one of the considerations to consider if you wanna purchase a car.
Aha! I think that’s the reason why his pickup truck is still in the repair shop. I remember that whenever we have a problem with the SUV that we used to use in the research project on S. japonicum, a parasite fund in the rice fields, a few years back it would take a while for it to be fixed. We would normally wait for the weekend before we take it to the shop. I remember telling our driver that I like to have an SUV like the one that we are using. I remember that he told me if I would consider buying an SUV, I should consider getting an SUV from another car manufacturer for the spare parts for that particular brand is really hard to find. I guess that’s the reason why we would usually wait for weeks before something can get replaced. Which makes me wonder if this is the same for most manufacturers. But I think this is not true for Ford accessories because, if I am not mistaken, Kris Aquino got a Ford car a few years back and she said that Ford has a manufacturing plant in Laguna. Now, knowing that the company who built your car is within reach would be such a relief wouldn’t it for if you will have a problem, then it would be easy to have it fixed right?
I went to Metro today. Bought some chicken thighs, bitter melon and some other stuff. I sauteed the bitter melon and had the chicken fried.
Thinking of saving some flour, I decided to remove most of the marinade. The chicken browned nicely over low heat but alas, when I ate the chicken, it turned out it was cooked rare. Now I am wondering if it has something to do with the oil that I used or was it because I removed most of the marinade? Could it be that with lesser liquid, the floor cooked faster that it should be? Hmmm… But the chicken meat wasn’t dry, it was rather juicy in fact. I cooked it the same way I cooked my chicken. The only thing that I did was remove most of the marinade. So I guess it was that. But then you can cook fried chicken with dry rub right? Hmmm…
Hay, I am so glad that I was able to do coaching today. It was a bit long but I think we have reached some sort of resolution. I just hope that it will result to better CSat survey for if it doesn’t then it’s one fruitless effort once more. Like, what’s the use of coaching if it doesn’t help improve how the agent performs right? Anyhow, I am hoping for the best. These people may be moved to another team next month. So I really hope that I was able to help them and prepare them for whatever challenges that they meet in the future.
I had my Annual Physical Exam last Monday and I have spent an Hour and 30 minutes to finish everything. Wow! It was fast! It could have been faster if I didn’t wait for the doctors who conducted the physical exams. But at least now, all I have to worry about are my deliverables.
Well, it’s just like any other APEs but not like the previous year, this year’s APE included dental checkup. And I was so relieved when the dentist said that I only have a tooth to extract, which is like the tooth that caused me a lot of pain when I was in grade school, other than that, everything is just fine.
As a health insurance benefit of the company, we don’t just get APEs, we also get to enroll our family members as dependents which means that we no longer need to personally get a family health insurance for our loved ones. If you watch the news, especially in the States, health insurance is very crucial to get the proper health care that you need especially when someone gets ill. I know, everyone would agree that Health Insurance Plans doesn’t come cheap. Which is why, I don’t really mind paying part of my health plan or if my plan is a part of a group health insurance plan, for I do get to save a lot compared to getting an individual health insurance plan for my dependents. Like, what’s the use of getting another plan when my dependents and I are enjoying almost the same benefits. Sad thing though not all companies in the Philippines can afford giving out Health insurance benefits to it’s employees. However, people from companies like these need not to worry for pre-need companies do provide different health insurance qoutes for individuals with different needs. I understand that affordable health insurance are pretty hard to come by these days, but one just have to keep in mind that having a health insurance is equivalent to getting some peace of mind. This is the reason why when someone would ask me for an advice if they should go work for another company, I always tell my colleagues to check out the benefits of that other company and try to compare it with the benefits from our company. For other companies may give good compensation but have benefits that truly sucks.
ANNOYED to the highest level! Why is it that GOD (pardon me lord for mentioning your name) made people who loves getting under other people’s skin. By God, because of this person, I have said what I was not suppose to say. ARSH!!! If someone from higher management was there I am so dead! As in! Now, I can really say that I hate this person. Imagine because of him, if someone was there, I could be terminated. My GOD, why does he always want to annoy me in front of everybody. As if he is a friend of mine. He is not even someone that I would ever consider as a friend. He is so annoying!!! If we could just kick anyone’s ass anytime that we want to, I would have kicked his ass millions of times. GRRRRR!!!
I just hope he'll get one of these Tonneau Covers so that his bedliner will be dry and clean whenever his team needs a ride. hehehehe...
Have you had a RealTruck review recently? Everytime my friend who owns a pickup truck invites me or (when I invite myself) to take a ride on his truck, I always do a realtruck review. So far, I have seen a truck bedliner, vent visors for all the four windows of his truck, a running board, nerf bars, seat covers (sometimes), an almost busted tail light (because he had bump his truck a couple of times in different ways) and a side mirror that fell off one time when he was going out of their garage. Oh, and not to mention a bumper with scratches here and there. Poor truck eh? Anyway, the good news is, he had sent the car for repairs but it has been several weeks and the car is still in the autoshop. Hehehe, I guess it was worse than it looked.
I was reading an article that I wrote last January and realized that I need to edit it due to the words that I wrote. Let’s just say, there were errors with my grammar in that article. Now, the last statement in that article said that I am relieved that I am a girl. Well, I still am but it reminded me of the question I asked my male friend. Well, you know how it is, when it comes to matters of how a girl looks, it is best to ask a guy friend. The question was “do I look like a tomboy?”. There are reasons why I asked this question:
1.) I still don’t have a boyfriend despite of the fact that there are hundreds of guys at work
2.) I never got an invitation to go out on a date (like never)
3.) I ran out of reasons why the first two reasons above existed.
So I asked him this question during one of our conversations and he said “yes you do” in a “duh, isn’t it obvious” kind of way. Gosh, not that I am not used to him being frank and honest but you know at times, as a girl, you tend to be a bit sensitive with these kind of things. You know so you would appreciate it if he could have sugar coated his reply a bit. But then again, this friend of mine is the most honest person that I know, if not then he is the most insensitive person that you would find in the world. I mean, he even said that it is not ethical to tell a girl that she is fat even if it is true but he would call me fat. You know what I mean. So there, I guess, I really do look like a tomboy. So what do you call a girl who looks like a tomboy but digs hot men? Hahaha…
