Business vs. Busy-ness

I am not blogging for quite sometime now. And I don’t even want to force myself to blog just for the sake of updating my supposed to be daily routine. I dunno why I suddenly felt tired. It seems that I’ve had enough of this thing. My mind is now pre-occupied with money-making business. Just to remind you, business is different from busy-ness. I was totally engaged with busy-ness months ago. What keeping me busy back then were blog designs and lay-outing, custom stuffs/widgets, browsing the net for interesting write-ups and/or views, whew! All of these wasted my precious time. And it’s about time to change for the better. My busy-ness revolves now around business. I’m always willing to engage in different kinds of business as long as it’s not a monkey business. Anyhoo, blogging will always be a part of my system. But it won’t be the same again as what I used to do for a couple of months. Watch out for my business blog launching and my homecoming!!!

Yours truly,

coohrahao

Day 1: Prayer for my Child

Faith

Help my child

learn that faith is

the reality of what

is hoped for and

the proof of what

is not seen

(Hebrews 11:1).

Chiz Escudero Math-Hater

Escudero also suggested a revision of public schools’ curriculum that would reduce the number of regular subjects taught to students - from the current eight to 11, to six - as one way to reduce the classroom shortage. Essential subjects, he said, would include Languages, including English and Filipino, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies or History, Computer and Good Manners and Right Conduct. Subjects like trigonometry, calculus, geometry, and algebra, should be taught only in college or as high school electives since these are not relevant to the everyday life of Filipinos, he said. “If by any chance they are able to reduce the curriculum by half, we would effectively double the number of classrooms in a day and overnight, because we can now use the classroom twice over instead of simply being used once, given the overburden curriculum that our children have,” he said

omg! what the hell is he talking about?! i must agree that algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and other branches of mathematics won't be part of our day-to-day lives. But for pete's sake! these are one of those subjects that help us enhance our analytical abilities. I love mathematics, except "calculus" and I definitely disagree to Escudero's suggestion. Good thing, I didn't vote for him (as if nagregister, hehehe!) Chiz, oh dear, all the while I thought you'll be great in the senate, sigh! Have you failed these subjects during your high school? It seems obvious, har! har!

The Husband Store

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE !There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights.

There is, however, a catch . . .. you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband . ..

On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking."Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the ! Lord, love kids, are drop- dead good looking and help with the housework."Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

Lessons learned!!! Remember Greed is one of the seven deadly sins.You have to learn to be grateful for what you have to get more. When you are ungrateful you end up with nothing. Happy Shopping!!! *wink

16 Cute Little Things About My 1 Year and 10 months 'Lil Kiddo

1. He has his own vocabulary words that he easily learned from us when he was just months old.

mommy-la (mamila) n. grandmother

daddy-lo (dadilo) n. grandfather

But later on, we heard him speaking his very own vocabulary words (no one taught him to utter these words)...

mima (meema) n. grandmother/mommy-la

dadu (dadoo) n. grandfather/daddy-lo

adi (adeee) n. father/daddy

2. He loves to watch Wowowee, a noontime TV show in ABS-CBN, hosted by Mr. Willie Revillame. When he hears the tune of "Adododoo", "Buksan Mo Papasukin Ako", you'll see him holding anything that can be used as an artificial microphone, singing and dancing in front of the TV, even blocking your view.

3.Since he is a fan of Wowowee, he imitated the hosting of Willie Revillame so you'll see him running to every corner, holding an artificial microphone (a serving spoon, and one time a "tansan"-bottle cap- when he can't find anything to hold asap) then shouting at anyone who watch him, uttering this word, "bigatin!".

4. When he runs to you and shouted "bigatin!", you have to sing the "adododoo" tune then he'll put an invisible money in your hand.

5. Ever heard the tune of "Sinabawang Gulay"? That's one of Bendyk's faves. When he hears that, you'll see him standing again in front of the TV, singing "makulay ang buhay, makulay! ang buhay!" while doing the dance steps.

6. Another commercial tune he loves to hear is the "isa, dalawa, tatlo...hay! bilangin mo ang biik ko, pag nabilang mo..." it's a piggery commercial and so corny, but Bendyk loves it hehehe!

7. Even when he's asleep, his eyes may be closed but his ears are always active for his fave tunes. When he hears the tunes, he'll wake up and run in front of the TV and do his hobby. We can't even fool him to stay in bed (we usually turn off the TV when the tune has just begun) or else, he'll cry out loud.

8. Before he take a nap, he sings along with his adeee their theme song, "Nakapagtataka". We wonder how he was able to memorize a few lines of this song. He knows what line will follow after his adeee sings a line of this song. We never forced him to memorize the lines, and yet he was able to store it in his memory. hmmm!

9. He also watches the primetime game show, "Deal or No Deal" hosted by Ms. Kris Aquino. You'll also hear him answering Kris' question, "No Deal" while his hands do the sign of No Deal.

10. Since Kris Aquino has lots of commercials on TV, when Bendyk sees her even if it's not on the "Deal or No Deal" game show, you'll hear him say, "Deal or No Deal!"

11. He may be a "maldito" at times, which perhaps he inherited from me. He would slightly spank you when you bully him, but he would suddenly say, "Churi, churi!" then kiss you on the lips.

12. One time, he and his adeee was on his way to his Mama's house (Bendyk's great grandma), but Bendyk fell asleep while on their ride. He was holding his "pogs"-that mini round cartons with anime pictures, which he took away from his uncle jom-jom (my youngest bro.). When they arrived at Mama's house, he woke up and said to his adeee...

Bendyk: Hulog pogs adeee! Two..adeee! pogs! (pointing on the road)

--He said he lost one of his pogs at the jeepney while he was asleep.

Adeee: Yaan mo na. Di naman 2 yan eh. Marami na pogs mo. (trying to be more patient)

Bendyk: Two pogs adeee! (scattered all his pogs on the floor and arranged the pogs by 2's, but one of the pogs has no pair)

Everyone in the house laughed and teased Bendyk's adeee for not getting what Bendyk means.

Mackenzie, Bendyk's second name, means son of a wise man. But that time, it's the other way around hehehe! Peace hubby! mwah!

13. At home, you'll often hear the father and son having an argument, especially when it's Bendyk's time for bath. He just wanted to be alone in the bathroom as he swim on a big basin. But Bendyk's adeee would insist to bath Bendyk so he won't catch cold. Just recently, while I was still at home before going to work, I heard Bendyk shouting at his adeee, "Uwi na! Uwi na!" It was not a pleading tone, but somewhat an authority telling his dad to go home (to his mama's house). Sigh! Manang mana talaga sa ____...no comment hehehe!

14. At young age, he knows now how to fool (perhaps, lambing is the right term) his aunties and tito. He'll only kiss them when they have something to give like an apple, chocolates, and almost anything he can eat--he has a strong appetite, that's why.

15. He knows how to use the so-called association memory. There was an instance when he saw his auntie mimin's slippers worn by his auntie shenalyn, he told her that she shouldn't wear it because it's her auntie mimin's slippers. Another one was my bag, which mama (his great grandma) held just to look at its design, but Bendyk told her not to get it because it's her mommy's bag. These are just a few of his reminders. whew!

16. He is a demanding 'lil kido who would always say, "bilis!" after every request, like "mimi ako adeee, bilis!", "mommy kain ako, bilis!"

Some of his traits may not be that good, but for a 1 year old and 9 months kid like him, I think it's just but cute little things that amaze us, and somehow make us happy. But to you, my 'lil Bendyk, watch out when you grow old...if you don't behave the way a 'lil boy should, wait for my spank hahaha!!! (sssshhh...bantay bata!)

Financially Free!

I had this urge of posting this entry from an anonymous writer...While reading this, I can say that the one who wrote this clearly explained his idea, making me realize how important it is to be thrifty.

The basic is. What pattern do you see if you will get a P100.00 bill and monitor where and how it is transferred from 1 possessor to the other? How does it flow? The pattern for a typical Pinoy is...

You earn from your work, you spend it on food, gadgets, clothing and other basic needs. Before you reach the next payday, paubos na yung pera mo. But that’s ok payday is just a few days ahead and it doesn’t matter if I run out of money, I am expecting money again any time soon.

This cycle goes on and on and you make some sidelines or create other ways to earn but it seems that money was never enough. (I am tempted to explain further pero usapan… basics lang).

So you can’t leave the job that you have because a week without work would affect the cash flow you have to support your family and needs. As much as you wanted to accept another job, the gap would make you pay less for a couple of days, which makes you a slave to your boss.

At least, you have a job to support your needs.

So to illustrate.. .Cash is flowing inside your pocket.

Years have gone by doing your monotonous routine.

Question… what if you get fired? Or you were forced to retire because there are new and younger people ready to take your place. What would you do?

As an OFW, Makati Executive, Top Salesman, Engineer, Attorney, Teacher, etc… What if it all ends? The sweet cash that enters your pocket every 15 th and 30th suddenly comes to a halt.

There are two things you can buy with your money… An asset and a liability. To describe each… An asset brings money inside your pocket; a liability takes money out of your pocket. Another way to see, it is that an asset if you buy one, will bring the money you spent for it back to you 2 or 3 folds. A liability, when you buy it will not give your money back at all.

Sa ilocano… idjay ti kwa… djak maawatan… (joke lang po, seryoso na kayo eh…) Sa madaling salita… kapag asset, maibabalik ang pera , pag liability, goodbye sa pera…

Ang problema kay JUAN DE LA CRUZ, habang may trabaho ipon ng ipon at bili ng bili ng liability!

I have seen OFWs get back to the country with gold chains at kung pwede lang limang shades ang isuot ng sabay-sabay gagawin nya eh… dvd, component, jackets, clothes, inuman, pulutan, party, pabango… hindi na makalakad sa dami ng bitbit…

At s’yempre mga empleyado natin dito sa bansa na lingo-lingo bago cell phone at mags ng kotse.. hindi na nga magkasya ang damit sa aparador, tapos pag umaga sasabihin… . wala na akong maisuot.

Guys, esep-esep… what you bought… will it bring money back to you? I know what you have in mind… you have to enjoy what you worked hard for. That’s right, but think of something that will last… think of your future.

I have seen the worst of people who were abogado de kampanilya, executive secretaries of top rank business men, people who worked for big companies, earned a fortune and got a big retirement pay by the millions… Now…. Wala na.

Why? Because of their cash flow… went in… went out.

I need not to mention basketball players, actors, singers, etc… Check what is their career path… next after acting, singing and playing… POLITICS. Kasi, ‘yung million na kinita nila, puro liability ang binili.

Going back… all the liability they bought, ibinenta ng mura! I’m wearing a gold chain now, which I got from a seaman… he bought it for P35,000 and sold it for 8,000 to me. Hindi po asset ang alahas! Bakit? Totoo na tumataas ang value n’ya pero kapag gutom ka na, kahit palugi ibebenta mo! (wala bang aaray?) Cell phones… dvd players etc. pati bahay at kotse… that’s the cash flow of most OFWs…

The question is … “ WHAT IF THE INCOME STOPS?”

Sa Pinoy, ganito: anak… mag-aral kang maigi, at pag tanda namin… ikaw na bahala sa amin ha…. Hindi po ba maling-mali. ..

You have to establish something today that will take care of your future.

Teka, teka… eh ano ang dapat gawin para hindi mangyari yan?

You must create a source of income that will continually make money flow inside your pocket. Start a business! While you are working as an executive or an OFW, or a professional. .. START A BUSINESS and MASTER that business till you get out of that company. Para kapag tumigil ang income mo sa kanila… may susuporta pa din sa iyo hanggang pag-tanda mo!

Now don’t tell me to invest my money on pensions and plans… NO WAY ! Narinig n’yo na siguro yung …. Naku ayaw ko na magbanggit.. .. ‘yung mga nagbayad at hindi nakapag-claim. .. sila pa ang dinimanda at nag-piyansa! !! HUWAG MO I-ASA ANG PAGTANDA MO SA IBA! GUMAWA KA NG SARILI MONG BALON NG PERA! KAHIT MALIIT PA ‘YAN, SARILI MO AT HINDI KA AASA SA IBANG TAO…

Imagine yourself when you reach an older age… (aruy ko,,, baka yung iba sa inyo about that age… tabi tabi po…Ako po sa mga nagtatanong. .. I’m 37 years old. Naabutan ko pa si Michael Jackson at hinele po ako ng nanay ko sa mga kanta ng hagibis…). You have money that the company gave you as your retirement pay… what will you do?

You can consume the money till your old… eh kung hindi umabot? Masamang damo ka pala… at hindi ka kaagad kinuha ni Lord. Eh pang age 65 lang yung naipon mo na budget.

Or maybe, you can start a business and use the money for capital… Kapatid… 9 out of 10 businesses, FAILED… yung isang magsa-succeed, gagayahin pa ng kapitbahay mo instead na mag-franchise sa ‘yo… think! At age 50, you are struggling trying to make a business work! What if it fails?!

Eh ano nga ba ang sagot?

The answer is, stop buying liabilities and instead buy assets now. I don’t care if it is a banana-Q store, balot, ice candy or a sari-sari store, etc… start now! Because, your experience here will teach you what to do in the future. It’s so hard to struggle in business when you are 60 yrs old.

You have to create a source of income separated from the source of income from your work. That when the time comes that you have to stop working, you will have your own source of money! Create assets, start a business that will be there to support you and your family. I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO QUIT YOUR JOB! I’m telling you to start a business while you’re working and stop spending your money on liabilities and start putting them on assets!

Ang pera kapag pinambili mo ng LIABILITY… hindi na babalik… ang ASSET… BABALIK.

Teka… masama ba bumili ng mga magagandang gamit? Hindi! Siguraduhin mo lang na ang pambili mo nun ay galing sa asset mo. The business has to be prioritized! Mawalan ka man ng trabaho, may negosyo kang palalaguin.

If before, nabubuhay ka naman ng iisa sapatos mo, huwag mo baguhin ‘yun… dati, nagdyi-jeep ka lang… ‘wag ka na munang mag-FX…

Create assets and lessen liabilities. Invest and learn now… mag-negosyo!

Eh anong negosyo? Any, as long as you think it is work and doable! I am still looking for partners for my HOME MASSAGE SERVICE! SPA MAGIC! And my business CAR MAGIC is still franchising. .. (joke lang … baka sabihin nyo nag pro-promote lang ako eh…But I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT ALL MY BUSINESSES ARE ORIGINAL AND ALL ARE GRAND ASSETS!

I started all my businesses with a very small capital. If I used that money to buy a gadget, new shoes or any liability… baka wala lahat ng negosyo ko at wala na akong makain ngayon.

I hope that this BASIC CASH FLOW entry helps…. I wish all of us become financially free!

Bakit Nga Ba Nagsisinungaling ang Lalake?

Ito ang kuwento kung bakit nagsi-sinungaling ang mga lalake:

Karpintero itong si Jojo, mahirap at may pangarap na makasali sa Wowowee, at isang araw ay gumagawa siya ng bahay sa tabi ng ilog. Sa lakas ng pagpukpok ay nalaglag ang martilyo niya sa ilog. Umiyak siya, parang si Loren Legarda noong impeachment proceedings ni Erap, at dahil dito lumitaw ang guardian angel niya. ‘Tutulungan kita, Jojo,’ sabi nito sabay lundag sa ilog.

Lumabas ito na may hawak na gold hammer. ‘Ito ba ang martilyo mo?’ tanong niya gamit ang boses na pang-call center. ‘Hindi po,” sagot ni Jojo. Lundag uli ang anghel at lumitaw na may silver hammer at palaka sa ulo. ‘Ito ba?’ tanong niya. ‘Hindi rin po,’ sagot ni Jojo. Lundag uli sa ilog si anghel at lumitaw na may lumang martilyo at linta sa pisngi. ‘Ito ba?’ tanong niya. ‘Opo!’ sagot ni Jojo. Natuwa ang anghel. Sabi niya, ‘Dahil honest ka, Jojo, bukod sa martilyo mo, sa ‘yo na rin ang gold and silver hammer…’ Sa sobrang galak nag-orgasm si Jojo nang wala sa oras.

Makaraan ang ilang araw, naglalakad si Jojo sa tabi ng ilog kasama ang misis niyang siyam na buwang buntis. Dahil abala sa pagbabasa ng blind item sa tabloid, nalaglag si misis sa ilog. Iyak si Jojo; litaw uli si guardian angel na parang pulitiko tuwing may photo-op. ‘Tutulungan kita, Jojo,’ sabi nito sabay lundag sa ilog.

Nang lumitaw si anghel kasama na niya si Paris Hilton na may dala-dala pang Bibliya. ‘Ito ba ang misis mo?” tanong niya kay Jojo. ‘Opo!!!!’ sagot si Jojo. ‘Siya po ang misis ko!’ Nagalit si anghel, biglang naging jologs: ‘Sinungaling kang tarantado ka! Akala ko pa naman mabait ka!’

Siyempre, nangatwiran si Jojo. ‘Sorry po,’ sabi niya. ‘Kasi kapag sinabi kong hindi eh lulundag ka uli sa tubig at pag-litaw mo eh kasama mo si Jessica Simpson. At pag sinabi ko uli na hindi siya ang asawa ko eh lulundag ka uli at ang tunay na misis ko na ang kasama mo. At dahil sa kabaitan ko eh ibibigay mo din sa akin sina Paris at Jessica. Mahirap lang po ako, nangangarap maging contestant sa Wowowee, at hindi ko kaya ang may tatlong asawa, hindi po Quizon ang apelyido ko at hindi rin Revilla, kaya opo na lang ang sinagot ko nung una.’

Moral of the story: nagsi-sinungaling ang mga lalake for a good and noble reason.

Our Sweet Haven

We found our new haven yesterday. The unstoppable rain didn't stop us from taking all our stuffs. This haven I am pertaining to is our ancient house, which was built by my grandpa and interior designed by my grandma. While the original look can no longer be seen, it was transformed into a bit modern and a bit of the original. Overall, it turns out to be a haven for us. This haven was restored by my aunt (dad's younger sister) years ago when we left it for my mom's house. And now she's in dubai and no one will take care of her house. I volunteered to take care of it then, but of course I have to pay for the monthly rent. There's no such thing as FREE nowadays hehehe!

I have to restyle our bedroom base on my taste preference but overall, the house is already a haven. Bendyk can maneuver his bike wherever he like. After all, the interior is spacious enough for his playtime. He seems to be enjoying our new place than our previous rented place. The place is ideal for nature lovers. I grew up there and I can say that fresh air is incomparable to what the city shows us. A ricefield at the front, and trees that stand proud all over the place. Our neighbors are my relatives so there's nothing to worry about.

I just hope and pray that may it be a lucky haven for us...smirk!

Money Wasted for Nonsense

Last friday night, after office hours, the whole family moved to another house. It was actually an impulsive decision, leaving me tired and exhausted. We rented a truck to carry our stuffs, bags of clothings, appliances, bed mattress, tables and chairs, bendyk's bike, books, etc. When we arrived at our new house, we arranged all these stuffs to their right places so everything will fit inside. But no matter how fancy I am to interior designing, I can't think of best ways to make the house look good since it's too small for all of us, my mom, my 2 bros., hubby, bendyk and I. I can't even figure out what best words to use to create a real description of it. Is it a bird's cage, dog house, or a mice cave? arrrgghhh! I am not here to ridicule about that house, but I find it uncomfortable to live in.

The moment we stepped inside, we must remain seated and lie in bed, or else we'll just bump onto each other. And worse, a deserted grassy land next to the fence might be a jungle for snakes . Long ago, when my aunt were still renting on the same raw of houses, there was a snake found crippling on the floor of one of the houses. The thought made me even scared of living in that place. It may cost less than the other houses for rent, but what about the comfort it's supposed to give?

Everyday you'll hear us complaining. I don't wanna point finger on who's to blame. On our second day, I was planning of leaving that place to secure Bendyk's safety. I can't forgive myself if something unlikely happened to my 'lil prince. On the nextday, our fourth day actually, dad came and told us to leave the house. He even uttered that the place isn't safe for all of us. He knew it all along because the next house in the neighborhood was one of his projects before. He confirmed that there are really wild snakes nearby.

The next thing that happened, is of course, packed our things and separate our (hubby, bendyk and I) things. We decided not to live with my family on the same roof again. Dad found a much better house for them to live, while hubby, bendyk and I also found our haven. It'll be one of those memories we'll cherish... the tiresome packing and unpacking of our stuffs, and moving from one place to another...

Indeed, regret comes at the end. I've wasted money for nonsense again! grrr!

Celebrating My Anniversary at MBS TEK

September 1, 2007 - It was on that day when I celebrated my anniversary at MBS TEK. It wasn't actually a bongacious celebration. But I did celebrate it, reminiscing those days when I was still in Cavite/Manila and decided to go back here in Legazpi just to visit my baby. I wasn't really expecting that I'll be working here at MBS TEK. The original plan was to visit my baby Bendyk (who was just months old then), celebrate his 1st birthday, and go back to Manila for a job. But for those months that I have stayed in Legazpi, I realized that being with Bendyk makes me complete. I feel very much happy every time I'm with him, watching him as he grow and learn stuffs that aren't usual at his age. Right then when I decided to look for a job here in Legazpi.

When I was still in college (about two years ago?), Julie (my classmate and friend) and I have seen an ad about the need for content writers. It was posted somewhere in Aquinas University campus. We set a schedule for that, and planned that we'll go together and apply for the said job. But the plan was wasted because I had to settle an important matter. After a month or so, I've seen Julie and told me that she got the job. I was so happy for her. That was the last time we've seen each other (I went to Cavite).

As I was planning about finding a job in Legazpi, I remembered Julie and looked for her contact number. Then she told me about her previous job (at data catalog dep't.), and that was the time when I learned about MBS TEK Corp. I was hesitant at first, but I found myself creating a resume, headed my way to SL Technology building then took the exam at the 3rd floor. I was supposed to be applying as a customer service representative, but the information desk rep. told me that they are on a freeze hiring, but she suggested that web copywriters are needed. Since it's my cup of tea, I submitted my resume and took the exam right there. woooahh! Yes, I took the exam at the call center office. But it could have been alright if only they didn't lose my resume and exam sheets.

It took me a month waiting for their call. But I hate waiting, so I convinced myself that maybe I didn't pass the exam. But to hell with the exam! I don't wanna sound as if I'm boasting, but it was really easier than those that I took and passed. Thanks to my hubby, he was there insisting that I have to follow-up my application. I was holding the phone's cradle and hesitantly dial the number. Ms. Cathy answered the call, and there I followed up my application. She told me that she can't find my files at her office so I have to go to her office instead for an interview.

So I went there, but I had to take the exam again since they can't find it even my resume, sigh. After taking the exam, I was sent to the HR office and had a harmonious interview with Ms. Cathy. I've had enough with job interviews when I was in Manila, so there I was, again keeping that smile and behaving as if it wasn't a job interview (grin!). Feeling close, d'oh! hehehe! Well, the interview went smoothly and Ms. Cathy asked me to come back for the technical exam. After a week, I returned to take the technical exam. Woooah! I was given 5 titles to choose from. To my surprise, all of them were all about auto parts. I have to choose 2 out of those 5 titles, and have to write a 450 word article for each title, which must only take an hour. I chose these titles: "My Favorite Vehicle Model" and "How Do Windshield Wipers Work?". On the first title, I've written a 475 word article, while on the second one, I've written a 275 word article only. I forgot to check the word count (only after I re-read it them at home), and I was pressured during that time since I haven't written any article again for 2 years.

I didn't expect to pass the technical exam since the second article I've written is consists of 275 words only, sigh. But after 2 weeks, my aunt told me that she received a call for me, informing me that I have an appointment on September 1, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. at MBS TEK. I was filled with excitement at that time since I wasn't really expecting of getting the job. But I did, thanks God!

So there I was, September 11, 2006 at MBS TEK Corp., I met the supervisor and the team leader. Right after the talk, I was sent to a corner along with numerous writers and asked me to start working on articles. And once again, I was a bit surprised of the keywords given to me. They are all auto parts. Everything seems so strange, I don't know where and how to start. My TL informed me that I have to make 6 articles of 300 words everyday. But guess what...I have only written 3 articles that day. woooaaahh! Anyway, they said it was fine since it's my first time to enocunter such. So the next day, whether I like it or not, I have to meet the quota!!!

From that day onwards, I'm still here in a world of auto parts hehehe! magrasa man ang mundong ito, I've come to like it naman, cheers!

A Real Ghost-Writer

Have you heard about ghostwriters? Technically, they are professional writers who are paid to write books, articles, stories or reports which are officially credited to another person, such as celebrities, executives and political leaders. They often hire ghostwriters to draft or edit their autobiographies, magazine articles or other written materials. Ghotwriters are also needed in the music industry. They are being paid to work on classical music, film composition and popular music like hip-hop.

But the ghostwriter I am pertaining to is actually a real GHOSTwriter. Take note, that writer is a GHOST. I may sound so weird, but the piece pasted below is a work of a realGHOSTwriter...

That was written yesterday on Owenn's PC. I don't know how it happened, but many have witnessed how every letter appeared on the monitor. Owenn (who's been using the PC) didn't even type on the keyboard. They remain seated while looking at the monitor and read every word that appeared on it. Whew! Some would say that it was just a "techie-glitch", but I guess that one was really a work of a GHOSTwriter. There's no scientific and even technical explanation for that. The piece was a total puzzle for me, but the emotion imparted says about the bitter state of the GHOSTwriter. S/he talked about an area, a place for that matter which I don't understand if was stolen from her/him or if the pawned area agreement lapsed.

The GHOSTwriter could have uttered the gist of her/his piece if s/he was not interrupted, sigh. Anyway, there were given numbers, mostly 8's (0.9 81180, 80 or 88, 120 eight minutes, 80 889 oh 8331) which when solved may lead us to the very reason of her/his bitterness...hmmm!!!

The ghost isn't just a writer, but also a mathematician. So if you are brave enough to unravel that mystery, go ahead and good luck!

P.S.

You may also want to use these numbers and play the lotto or jueteng ssshhh! Good luck!
