Looking For Work?

Posted on July 8, 2009 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

It used to be that college graduates take it easy before plunging in the real world of job-seeking challenges. Before they do so, they relax for a bit and take a break. They either have Orlando vacations, or have backpacking European trips or maybe exploring mountain peaks.

With the economic crunch happening, they don’t get to do that anymore.

Not unless they come from a moneyed family with a position in the company waiting for them after their foray out in the wild.

Gone are the days that these graduates get to choose the company they want to work for.

At best, they get a job that suits their qualifications and skills. At worst, they work odd hours or do labor-heavy work earning just a fraction of what they think they should earn.

Times have changed indeed. Real life lessons are now learned the hard way.

Transforming Negative Energy in the Workplace

Posted on June 23, 2009 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

Negative energy has the tendency to zap out the life in you. Negative energy is not good energy for when it is aplenty, you feel burdened, slacking and lethargic.

Negative energy in the workplace does not produce the best in people who are supposed to be productive, creative and

So how can you transform negative energy in the workplace?

Be able to know the source of the negative energy. Is the negative energy coming from the situation in your place of residence? You may wake up late, hurrying through your morning rituals and riding it out through rush hour traffic. Now you know you need to devise ways to deflect this negative energy that seems to drain all your energy even before you reach the workplace.

Is it the overbearing boss? Or the pay that is always given delayed? Or the co-worker who pester you with mundane details of her job description that you almost end up doing what she is supposed to do?

Examine yourself. Be honest with yourself. Do you maintain a happy disposition and positive outlook in life? Do you feel stress and have periodic bouts of stomach cramps and headaches during the day? Do you have trouble sleeping?

Phase 2 Project: Segment 8.1 Connecting Mindanao Avenue to NLEX

Posted on May 7, 2009 by greenbucks| 26 Comments

Simula pa lang ng paggawa ng malaking kalye malapit sa amin.

Noong Lunes ay isinarado na ang daan na dinadaanan namin kaya iikot na kami sa matrapik na palengke. Pero sige lang, pagkatapos naman nito (kung matatapos agad) ay magiging mas maaliwalas ang aming pag-uwi. Wala naman sana problema kung hindi nagsasara ng gate yung katabing subdibisyon mula 10am  – 5pm at 10pm – 6am para hindi na kaya naipilitan kami umiikot ng malayo. Hmph.

Importante ang daan na ito kasi mismo si PGMA (S)cares ay dumalo sa groundbreaking ceremonies noong nakaraang buwan (kung tama ang pagkakatanda ko).

Pasensiya na po, malabo, umaandar kasi kami at may tint pa ang salamin.

Anyway… (pakibasa po hanggang bago magdulo, nandun ang climax)

Ang major road na ito ay mag-uugnay ng Mindanao Avenue sa NLEX or North Luzon Expressway. Heto ang isa pang link tungkol sa project.

Alam nyo ba kung magkano ang 2.8 kilometer na daang ito? 1.5 billion pesos lang naman.

Kung ito ay idi-divide sa 2.8 kilometers, pumapatak na 535 million++ pesoses for less than a kilometer ang presyo ng daan na yan. Sosyal di ba?

Twing! Twing! (Tunog ng cash register yan, lol!)

Dog Bling-Bling

Posted on March 19, 2009 by greenbucks| 33 Comments

Hindi ako mahilig sa alahas, marahil dahil wala akong budget para dito o kaya naman pakiramdam ko ay hassle ang maglagay nito bago umalis ng bahay at mag-alis nito pag-uwi sa bahay. Sabagay, kahit di afford basta hilig, gagawa ng paraan di ba? (pero huwag lang ang mangungutang ha) I am not fond of jewelry maybe because I can’t afford to get these or because I feel its too much of a hassle to put these on before going somewhere and removing these when back in the house. But then, even if one can not afford these things, one can find ways to get them as long as one is able to pay and not resort to having credits.

Kaya ayan, kakaiba ang aking entry, dog bling-bling. So my entry is different, dog bling-bling.

Dog bling-bling. Ang collar na suot ay important peroang ibang mga aso, nakupo! grabe ang mga suot na accessories parang hindi na sila comportable sa suot nila. These collars are necessary but you should see how the other bitches dogs are being dolled up like they are accessories and not living animals.

Ang sa akin lang naman, sa dami ng mga batang nagugutom eh sa ganito pa ang pinagkakagastusan ng ibang mga tao. For me, with so much poverty around us, I feel its too much that people spend a lot with things like these. Oh well…

Hello?

Posted on March 18, 2009 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

It used to be that calling loved ones who are overseas was a daunting task.

I can still remember people seeing people lining up at the telecoms center to be able to connect to an operator who would in turn connect them to the phone they wish to call, horrors of all horrors 😀
