I never thought that there is really a career in blogging not until now. For most people, blogging is just for “emo” people out there who wants to release all of their junks in their mind. Although this is somehow true because I started blogging as an “emo” blogger who always rant and post sad entries not until I discovered how to earn money on the internet. Everything changes after that. But aside from making a blog for personal use, some people also use this opportunity to be heard and become successful in this kind of work.
I am done taking a break here at home doing random stuff. I got tired of reading tons of books, watching Television too much and I am now ready to go out and explore the city to find a suited job for a fresh IT graduate.
I am really thankful that the internet is giving so many resources that can help to find better job because there are so many websites that have a compilation of available jobs in the marketplace nowadays. What I don’t like are the companies who are posting deceiving job ads in such websites. What I noticed while browsing the list of job advertisements was that it was full of shitty ads from call center companies. I don’t hate call center companies or people who belong to this industry as a matter of fact, I want to try working on it because I find it cool being an agent. I just hate some call center companies who post their ads on the internet that deceive lots of people who are searching for jobs online.
Last June 14, 2012, I went to Makati City for a job interview. Someone texted me to go to their building somewhere in Salcedo St. for an interview and I was ecstatic hearing this good news hoping to get my very first job. I applied as an “Online Gaming Consultant” from an ad on jobsdb posted by “Global Milestone Asia” because this has something to do with IT stuff and I am confident that I can do it.
When I came in to the building, the receptionists brought me to this small room that has applicants just like me. They are having this lecture about do’s and don’ts in job interview and I really appreciate it. The trainers are really cool and they know what they are talking about. In fact, I learned a lot of things that can be useful in finding a job.
What I don’t like is that the lecture/ training/ seminar is too freakin’ long. I arrived there at 9:30 in the morning and they are already having the seminar when a bunch of applicants arrived in the room, the trainer decided to repeat again the seminar from the top. The same thing happened again and again and it is really time consuming.
I must admit that the training/ seminar/ lecture is quite useful and interesting but they don’t have to say it over and over and over again. We are not stupid not to remember what they have shared to us. I also noticed that most of the applicants were applying as a trainer; computer troubleshooter etc as they saw it on a job advertisement online but the only available job for that day was CSR and TSR only. In short, Customer and Technical support in a call center agency. What a bummer!
The seminar/ lecture/ training lasts until 3 in the afternoon and we were not having our lunch yet because the trainers said that we should stay in the room because the interviewers from different call center agencies will be coming anytime soon. Luckily, I bought 2 chocolate bars in 7-eleven before going to that building.

The trainers from Global Milestone insisted that their company is not an agency. Therefore, they will not get any commission if ever we got hired and I am still neutral about it.
Again, the training/ seminar/ lecture that they had with us were really helpful and I learned lots of things. I just hated how they consumed my time for that day. I had so many plans for that day but they were all cancelled because I sat in a small room for like 5 to 6 hours listening to a lecture over and over again and it was completely draining.
My advice to Global Milestone Asia or GMA is that if you want to have a long seminar or talk, please make sure that you can provide some snacks for the applicants. Coffee and biscuit would be good. But I am still thankful for the things that you have taught me. I learned a lot.
Hey you guys! I am here again and I wanna tell you all that I am still alive and kicking. I am sorry for a long hiatus here on my blog and I promise that I am going to make it up to all of you. Blame my ISP for giving me an unstable internet connection. I would also like to thank all of you who dropped millions of comments to some of my entries. I do appreciate all of them and sorry for not visiting back. Again, blame my internet service provider!
Earning money from the internet is not that easy although there are people who are claiming that they are earning lots amount of money in just a week or even a matter of days. I have been blogging for 3 years now and I have been tried almost all of the possible ways on how to earn money from the internet. I am telling you, I did not become rich in doing all of them. I just earned extra money as my allowance in college.
So I heard you want me to feature another milk tea product here on my blog. So your wish is my command! ;)
I have been trying out lots of milk tea products for the past few weeks and they are really satisfying my cravings for cold, delicious and unique drinks with certain twists and I love it!
For a non-lover of both milk and tea, I guess it is a miracle why I got hooked up with the combination of these liquids. The first time I tasted a milk tea, I was blown away and I woke up the next morning craving for more. That was the reason why I am eager to try out the new ones because I believe that milk tea is not just for Chatime, Serenitea or Gong-Cha so I wanted to give way for new names in the industry of selling milk tea to let them shine in their own ways.
Okay, enough for PRs for now because I have seen a news on TV and it pushed to blog about it. The title seems so harsh for China but this is not a hate post about the country itself. I just can’t stand the fact that there are people in this country who are using and producing this kind of medicine.
I have read an article entitled “Dead Baby Pills: China’s New Stamina Enhancer” and it was published last year so this news is not so new for people from all over the world. According to the article, these dead baby pills are being use as a stamina enhancer and at the same time, it can also be an alternative for Viagra.
Calling all Tea and Milk Tea lovers who want to explore and try new kinds of drinks that will surely blow you away.
I was invited by the owner of Tea Zone who is Ms. Maricel Uy to check their bubble tea products and I did not hesitate to accept her offer because I am a HUGE fan of milk tea drinks and I am willing to try all of them!
