Operation: Macbook

been saving for a while for this thing. Now I definitely need one for my part time work and so i can work where i am. I only have 10K for now and I need 35-40K for the mackbook and the shipping and all stuff that i have to pay. Been working my butt hard to save and it is not easy to save money especially when you are supporting your slightly disabled dad and the youngest sister who is going to school.



I wish I will get this one.

It is always feel great to see someone happy. This time it did made me happy but made me sad as well. It made me sad because I like the "someone". I admit, I am jealous so I'm writing it here so I can express it out and maybe ask from you to poke me and say, "Wake up! Hunee. Doh!"

Matt Mullenweg's Talks About his WordPress

Matt said it was his first time to be in the Philippines and he'd rather ride a Philippine Jeepney than a African Van. It was also Matt's first time to talk in front of a pool with at least 3 bats flying, I guess enjoying the program as well.

BPO HR Forum

I have been writing about working at MTC Academy and its nature of business that it is a medical transcription school. Now, MTC Academy has a sister company, ZipIT Solutions, Inc., which is primarily a medical transcription service organization.

On the first year that we've operated MTC Academy in Davao, there were a lot of curious people asking what is medical transcription. After a year and a half, people were asking where can they apply. My boss and I firmly believes that you don't give fish to people, instead teach them how to fish and so my boss initiated that there should be a transcription organization in Davao. So there is Transcription Alliance of Davao, Inc. (TADI) which is an organization of training providers, such as MTC Academy, and service providers, such as ZipIT Solutions, Inc.

Last August 29, at the Royal Mandaya Hotel, a discussion on both academes and employers on how to address a particular problem in recruitment or hiring. Although there was a drop on the number of enrollees which is mainly due to the economic problem, the real problem is job placement and why there's a little percentage of hiring?

I had my own taste of how it is to be unemployed. After so many job interviews you still don't get the job you applied for, especially the ones related to your course. At first I did not know that I have to have the basic skills. I just thought, I graduated from a prestigious school so I can easily be hired. I guess not! Because I simply don't give up, I landed on my first job after 5 years of being unemployed.

At the Jobs Fair at Sangguniang Panglungsod, last August 30-31, there are some applicants that would come to the employer's booth and would pass their resume without knowing the industry. I told myself that I was like that when I used to apply for a vacant position. Now I've realized it's a "No-No" to wear slippers, jeans, and as an applicant please let us not forget to at least look fresh and neat.

It is always good to have forums although some forums are really irrelevant.

BPO Company expenditures in Advertising

Employers thought there's not enough supply of labor so they thought of spending millions in advertising just to let the word out. Reality is, there are a lot of graduates. But they don't have the skills. How come?? The whole industry are focused on employers and potential employees when there is one big factor a potential employee go to before they go to their potential employers. And that is the Academe. Who are in the academe? The faculty. Question is, if times are changing, is there an assurance that the teaching in the academe are frequently updated and the faculty are skilled enough or well-experienced to teach new skills?

What about this pic?? It had been always a problem that there are a lot of graduates of Computer Science Course and yet they don't exactly fit to the position required of a company...so what to do?? a forum where academe meets employers and talks about what can be done and should be done... :)

How I Say Goodbye to Yesterday

It is most common for people to say what they want to say and sometimes we either talk a lot or we just say things because we believe that it should be said. Also common to be in a situation where the two of you would start from simple conversation and then go into a what I would describe as a fight. It maybe because of you don't believe on the same things, or it can be of principles. It can be of any reason.


I had the most interesting week so far. Not that I got into fight with someone but I somehow witnessed a conversation that has turned into, I think is worse, harrasment as describe by one of the party.


You learn from conversation even if you are just the listener and someone else is talking which I think is the short term goal. The long term goal for me in that situation is catching how each one reacts to each words/ sentences spoken. A conversation can end up smoothly or the other. I try to be very conscious with my uttered words for I personally don't know the person I am talking to. She or he is not my relative or my long time friend. I am somehow trapped sometimes in a conversation especially when the other is making me feel weak or he/she is stepping on my dignity or belief as a person. I just can't let him or her do that. It's human nature to react and thus it is human nature to accept that somehow the other reacted to your statement means he/she got hurt. And so I believe is less harming mistake and again human nature to be not perfect for no one is born to be perfect.


I believe I grow by living everyday and forgeting what was yesterday. Who I am today is because of what I have decided to be yesterday. My past is part of me and my past is no longer part of my present. It is as simple as that. I don't think I have to won in a conversation neither the other has to lose but what is important is you are able to wake up the next day and start a new beginning and start a new conversation with the same person without bring the past up again and especially without dragging other people with you.
