Too Much Worries

Well, I'm plagued by my worries once more. Here I am, still up at this time. I'm feeling hounded by the fact that we "have a job" but we're not starting just yet.  I'm kinda getting antsy. It does almost seem like the job is going to be given in July. I guess I shouldn't be feeling too worried because I keep thinking about God, and how He's going to help us. But I also keep thinking I might be feeling too confident, and I know I can still look for a job. I guess my only apprehension is if I should still go looking for a job. God has already provided me the perfect opportunity and the perfect working conditions. Well, maybe not perfect. LOL. But they are very favorable working conditions because of the proximity. Proximity to everything. I don't feel like I should look for another job. But I guess, if I get a call or something like that, then I still don't know. I'll probably do it. Oh well, God will tell me what to do one of these days. My ...

Waiting for The Word

If you check out my  Daily Devotion Page , you'll learn that I recently applied for a job, and well, I got hired. Now we're just waiting for the word. I guess they thought that we'd most definitely be sleeping or something. And besides, Friday has just begun. Wish us luck! We both need this job!

Spell WALANG KWENTA

I am DISGUSTED, APPALLED, IRRITATED BY Globe's Internet connection. They make people pay 2,300++ for this service? You can't even get much out of it! Not especially if you're a heavy downloader! They cut the bandwidth off after 7GB of download a day. It sucks! We could download 7 Gig worth of movies and series! And the sad part is, Jon is NOT going to stop downloading movies or series.  And I'm never going to experience proper Internet usage as long as this is going on.  But really, this service is the ultimate rip-off! I can't imagine anyone using this service! It's useless! I don't know how you're going to budget 7GB of work in a day if you have to.   I can't even update the website properly, and the server I signed up with is already a pretty good server! I mean, the website actually worked with the webhost. So I'm not feeling anything bad with this server. But with this kind of connection? I can hardly get anything done! I can't browse ...

Job Not Good

soWell, there goes another day wasted. Spent the day applying for a job. And was offered the basic pay from 2005.  Unbelievable. And I thought Silver City was not in the province. By the looks of things, it sure didn't look like a province to me. Furthermore, I know that Nuvali in Laguna has the same effect, but come on people, Pasig City is a City in Metro Manila right? So why the hell are they offering provincial rate pay?  I must have sounded like dork when I agreed with the 15,000 basic pay. I must have been kidding myself. Well, actually I was. I was bored hanging around, and I didn't want to hang around any longer. So when I thought I could make a quick getaway, I got called before I could step out. I didn't hang around any longer. I was hungry, and I regret going. :-( What a waste of money.  Jon and his other friends made it though. They were offered a better rate than I was. And the good thing is, they're offered positions at Q-Plaza, which is just like one ...

Don't Give Up on God, Because He Never Gave Up On You

This morning after I did my devotion, I scoured FB, and in a few seconds I was crying over this post. I was crying for all the people that didn't know or believe that God existed. I was crying because I am very close to someone who would often say when he was frustrated that God is not real. That there is No God.  He would dare say something like that, and then take it back after his anger has died down.  The post was very nice. It's a story actually. It goes like this: A LESSON LEARNED.....Why God Allows Pain This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen… A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: “ I don’t believe that God exists.” “Why do you say that?” asked the customer. “Well, you just have to go out in t...

Palusot

Bata palang tayo, marunong na tayong magpalusot.  Naalala ko pa noong Prep palang ako, at halos paluin ako ng mga magulang ko dahil pinapasulat sa akin yung buong kanta ng Lupang Hinirang.  Hindi ko gaanong kabisado ang Lupang Hinirang noon, lalo pa't sa Saudi Arabia ako nag-aaral, at lahat ng batang kasama ko sa paaralan ay English ang wika. Kaya't ang pagkanta ng Lupang HInirang ay magagawa ko ng hindi pinag-iisipan. Ngunit kung ipaaalala mo sa akin, ay hirap na hirap ako. Kaya't pinipilit akong isulat ng buo ang pambansang awit na Lupang Hinirang, ay kung anu-anong palusot ang ginagawa ko, huwag ko lamang maisulat.   Kesyo kailangan ko ng maayos na papel, kesyo hindi natasahan yung lapis ko, hanggang sa kinuha ko ang magnetic pen drawing chenes upang doon isulat ang Lupang HInirang.  Gayon din ang nangyayari ngayon sa anak ko. Pinapatulog ko na siya sa kuwarto niya, kaso umiiwas siya. Mayron daw siyang ipapakita sa akin. Meron daw siyang ibibigay. Makikinig lang...

So Much for Job Hunting. Again

I went on an interview.  They tell me there's no opening for a Team Lead.  I was sitting there from 10 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon. And they tell me there's no opening for a team lead.  Sometimes, it gets to me how it can be really taxing to look for a job.  It's easy to forget that if you don't get the job, it only means it's not meant for you.  But this isn't like any other job.  This is an opening for a team lead post.  And they tell me they currently don't have any openings for team lead. It's not like a normal customer service position that I'm applying for. So I guess that's what makes it difficult. It's not a normal job. It's a job that not everyone can apply for.  It's a job that they don't process applicants for by group. It's something that takes time, and then they'll call you if they think you're okay for the job.  In any case, I should get over it.  I'm going to be referred by someone f...

Closing Up Shop

I'm happy to say that I stayed out of Facebook today as much as I can. I was really busy, until I realized there was actually something wrong with the website when I uploaded it. How did I realize this? I uploaded the original template, and messaged the webmasters for help.  I hope they get back to me on this. Anyhoo, I'm kind of tired. My laptop's battery isn't good for a full movie, but I think I'll sleep through it anyway.  I know my hubby hasn't been getting any action. I feel kind of bad about that. Oh well, in time. I'm really not in the mood for anything.  So this for now, more for later.  Note to self: always check oDesk for job updates. Sheesh.

Slow and Steady and All things Nice

While I'm sitting here nervously waiting for the files to upload via FTP, I've realized that I eat the usual amount of food, and I'm not currently doing anything or going anywhere. I have a feeling that I'm going to blow up in the next two months or so.  So far, the website I'm uploading is coming along pretty nicely. All the images that don't show up on the other web browsers are now showing up here. I have a feeling that if I try to upload them again, they'll work fine. But the web host I found right now is pretty much doing its job. We'll see until we get all the files up there. Okay, this is the part where I find out if I can jump for joy, or bury my head once more in my hands and try to figure out a way to do this. Of course, it was always easier to just have all the images hosted in one site, and then link everything back to my website. I don't know much about bandwidth, but I have not had problems with my weblog before. Here we go. Moment ...

So Much for Job Hunting

I hate myself. My husband and I decided we were going to go job hunting, but it's already 2:15 PM and we're scheduled to apply at 3:00 PM.  And there's nothing we can't do. We both woke up late at around 12:00 noon, and after fixing my daughter's breakfast, and fixing myself a mug of hot chocolate, it's already 2 in the afternoon! What the heck happened? I thought I had three hours? How was it possible? Well, okay, I do remember starting to move at around 12:30 something. But how is it already 2:00 PM? 2:18 to be exact? Where did the time go? I could have sworn I spent only about 30 minutes on daily devotion, and not more, so that would be around 1:30 finishing. How is it possible that I've been sitting here for the last 45 minutes doing nothing?  Well, I don't know what's going on, but I don't think I'll ever get anything good if we try to go now. It's too late I think. We'll be too late.  I would like to try tomorrow, but Jon is go...

Curious

Incidentally, I was wondering who was viewing my blog. I've only got 67 posts so far, and I already have 238 views. It must have been views from before, when I was starting my blog. I tend to read some stuff through it.  Unless someone's added me to their blogroll, and I didn't know about it.  So I Googled myself. Kinda creepy how so much information appears on the web.  It's not hard to think that employers would go as far as search your information to see what kind of person you are.  Now that is creepy.  I'm hearing Jon spout curses every now and then cause he's playing NBA 2K12.  Actually, the graphics is really good! I'm impressed! They got good rendering of the players when they're out-of-focus, the audience does pretty random actions, they even got the sneaker squeaks programmed in! Pretty awesome!  Well, I'm sort of looking for a job. I hope we can get one tomorrow.  Need to move our butts early tomorrow morning. Hope we land a job. ...

I Need to Get a Move On

Today we were supposed to go find a job. But we're still here.  I'm feeling sick again. I'm feeling like i"m getting another headache. I don't know what's wrong with me.  I think I want to go do some myLot, but I'm not really in the mood to think about other people's problems, or talk in any of the discussions. Actually I don't mind. Maybe I'm going to go find some discussions to answer.  Well, this for now, more for later.

Ironic

For a minute there, I thought that all my blogs were gone. It turns out, I was signed in to another Gmail account. No worries, got all my blogs back!  In other news, yeah so the hype about Manny Pacquiao's latest fight has died down. For the first time in 7 years, Manny Pacquiao lost by Split Decision to Timothy Bradley. It was totally unexpected, and even Bradley himself wasn't expecting to win.  He admitted how he lost to Pacquiao, and how he got hurt by Manny's punches.  All of a sudden, there goes the announcement that there is a NEW welter-weight champion. (Was it welterweight? I don't remember). I felt something go wrong when Michael Buffer announced the scores. I was like, wait a minute, what? Why was it like that? And that's when I found out that the reason the scores were alike from the 2nd and 3rd judge was because Bradley had won.  As a friend on Facebook said, and I quote, So this is how you upset an entire nation. Interesting.  Yeah, well, it wa...

The Blah Days Ahead

I haven't been feeling stellar lately. (Maybe that's because I'm no longer employed there!) But anyways, I was sick and had loose bowel movement.  Right now, I still have that dull headache in the right side of my head. I'm working on some stuff for Laine. Or I was working on some stuff for Laine. I need to get a move on the Sulit ads and the website. But I think it's because I've been spending suddenly too much time in front of the laptop. I think I have to tone down the brightness of my laptop. Well, I did that. I think it helped a little bit.  So right now, I'm pretty bored. Oh, that's right, I remembered. I want some soda. I think I'm going to go get myself some soda. Or, rather Jon went to get me some soda.  Okay, so going back. I still have a bunch of stuff to do for the website. For starters, I haven't even finished doing the Home page. I've got about 5 other pages to work on, and it's going at a slow pace. I should probably st...

Mobile Back to Oblivion

I was going over some of my posts, and I read about how I lost interest in my mobile phone. Well, now that I got Internet connection and a laptop, and even a desktop, well, I have put my mobile phone to rest. Now I hardly update anything using my phone. I will miss having Lightbox on my phone, but Instagr.am doesn't work on my phone. So my phone's battery gets a rest from being played too much or being used Internet on too much.  I hardly touch my phone anymore, unlike before. Now I can go back to normal Internet life.  Well, now I have picked up a job at oDesk.com. I'm not sure if it's something I can do right now. I mean, after all, it's an easy $5.00. All I got to do is review some techy site. So I'm going to concentrate on that for now. I need to break down my time and everything. So here goes. I'm getting off the blogosphere for the moment, and will get back to you after a few hours! This for now, more for later.

Settling In

I am psyching myself for the laundry that I have to face today.  I need to find a dry cleaning service nearby, and I need to get a head on the laundry right now.  So anyway, I do have a list of things to do: - laundry - dry cleaning - go to Marikina, Wrap my daughter's books and stuff - Laine's business card - Get a head on the website.  I think I might actually need like, a schedule of events so that I can keep in touch with what I'm going to do.  Incidentally, I might need to do some research on if I can upgrade the laptop's parts. I sure would like to get some higher ram into this thing. This for now, more for later.

Job Hunting Online Sucks!

Okay, so I was job hunting, or attempting to job hunt. I'm feeling quite under the weather, so I'm not really up to applying myself right now. What I really want to do is watch something that requires less thinking. Something along the lines of Twilight. I'm probably gonna watch the 2nd or 3rd installment. Whichever contains the love story between Bella and Edward. I've been watching Vampire movies for a while now.  Tomorrow, we're planning to apply to this job. We're supposed to go there at 3PM. So I need to ready Tyrese's stuff. I know I should be downloading shit right now like the pictures, and everything. But I'm going to have to transfer them to my laptop. I know there's something such as drop box. Maybe I could use that instead so that I can access the files.  So this for now, more for later. The keyboard is an absolute dream! I love it! It's pretty old school: bit, chunky, sinks deep. But it's absolutely soft, and I love typing on...

Spell S-L-O-W

Ugh. Either my laptop is REALLY slow, or the Internet isn't working the way it's supposed to. That's mainly why I'm blogging from my phone. To begin with, I'm unable to access speedtest.net. Actually, no. I AM able to access it, I just can't run a speed test because the configuration's gone haywire or something. I'm not sure what's eating up my RAM, I'm suspecting either Mozilla or Chrome, I'm not sure which.  Sio basically i think I'm trying to conserve my RAM usage? I don't know.  Anyway, enough about that. So today, I was busy sending in applications for An online, home-based job. It's kinda agitating waiting for a response, and I do have one other job Lined up, but I think I'm going To need a headset for that, so I'm going to try and buy One that can do that.  I'm quitE tired. Seeing as how I only have about 5 hours of sleep. And I'm not exactly looking forward to bringing Tyrese to church, but I would love for...
Well, I finally got a laptop, and my Internet connection is finally up and running. I love how I don't have to worry about myLotting anymore, how I can fully check Facebook, how my thumbs won't have to hurt as much trying to say what I have to say. I have to admit, I only got about 5 hours of sleep, and I'm due to go to church at around 9:00 AM, or earlier since I haven't printed the calendars up yet, I'll still need to photocopy the calendars. Unless Angel helpfully has done something about it. In any case, I'm freer now. I'm just worried about the RAM of my laptop being able to take what I usually do here. I'm going to be editing web pages, hopefully getting an online job soon.  But I know it's not going to sustain our lifestyle. At least, it's better than nothing. I was just computing how much I could possibly get from this online job that I signed up for.  It's pays $2.00 an hour for an 8 hour shift. That's about $16.00 a day.  I...
