The Speaker

I attended a company seminar and met an amazing person with an extraordinary credentials and work experiences. He is no other than Mr. Ryan Buenafe (Not the famous Philippine basketball player), the speaker of the said seminar. He shared his life story, family background particularly his ancestor's educational background, and his magnificent educational attainment & work experiences.

The seminar was all about managing your time by prioritizing the things/life activities that in your view it matter most. He gave life examples in most of the sub topics, I remembered that he shared about how he saved his money, strategies on when to buy and sell a certain stock, his plans in the future, achievements (like buying a Condo unit at the age of 25), and other stuffs (I forgot some of them).

A great organizer, planner and a certified goal oriented person. I can't anymore think for additional words to define this guy, he is simply amazing. One thing for sure, he can be a model to all young achievers, fresh graduates or undergraduates, poor or rich and employee or an "estamby" (Sorry for the term, can't think for a better English word for this one).

I want to end by saying, see you at the TOP Sir Ryan Buenafe!

Marriage week

To obtain a perfect relationship with your partner, don't just settle for:

I - Planning for the future rooted in self satisfaction, BUT instead of
We - Planning together for the future.

Romantic Love - Physical appreciation, desires and lust, BUT instead of
Committed Love - Staying together until death.

Don't forget to look behind the lines

INSPIRING STORY
Inside a train, there's an old man sitting near the window, together with his 24 years old son.

The son looking out towards the window shouted: "Dad, look the tress going behind!" His dad smiled and a young couple looked at the 24 years old guy behaving childishly with pity.

Suddenly, he again exclaimed: "Dad, look the clouds are running with us!" The couple couldn't resist and said to the old man: "Why didn't you take your son to a doctor?"

The old man smiled and said: "We've been there already. My son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today."

Lesson learned: Don't forget to look behind the lines and don't make quick judgements.

St. George, Martyr


April 23 = St. George's Feast Day!

I just have less information about St. George the Martyr but I will still share it to you. Facts are still from the Christian Prayer: The Liturgy of the hours.

The veneration of Saint George began as early as the fourth century at Lydda in Palestine, where a church was built in his honor. From antiquity this veneration has spread throughout both the East and the West.

Before opening a wonderful day, let's take a moment and say a prayer.

Prayer
Lord,
hear the prayers of those who praise your mighty power.
As Saint George was ready to follow Christ in suffering and death,
so may he be ready to help us in our weakness.
Amen!

Jobless Journey

Ended the 1st quarter of 2012 with a yehey - "Got Hired"! Started the 2nd quarter with the Holy Week.

God moves in mysterious ways. If you believe in Him, expect the unexpected and start dreaming!

I was jobless for almost three months. I sent resumes to some companies and was set for examinations (IQ and Technical) and interviews (Individual, Group, Phone). Applied for a Customer Service Representative in some Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) companies, Technical Support Staff in a local Printing company and Board Repair Specialist in a Automatic Testing Equipment -Repair (ATE) company; and guess what! I failed to be hired in any of these companies.

I thought of giving up and planned to stay at home until the first quarter of 2012 ends. One Sunday, I read the local newspaper, skipped some articles and quickly searched for the classifying adds section. I bear in mind that this job search would be the last one for this quarter. Then saw a stable BPO company looking for a Data Analyst, and to myself, OK! I will give it a try. So the following day, went to the company as a walk-in applicant, took the two hour IQ exam, In-voice exam, and the final interview; and guess what! I got hired! Hired as a Data Analyst last March 26, 2012.

And I thanked God for this opportunity!
