New life, New Path

Wow! there's a lot of changes that had happened to me in the start of 2011. I left my company for 5 years because of some senseless issue with my boss and his allies.

I just realized and felt that I wasted my 5 years. My previous employer doesn't give me importance at all! After all the things that I've done for the company. Yeah, I know he has favorites, he gives all the perks to that person/s.

But anyway moving forward, I'm starting my own career in a BPO company. Hope I could get the hang of shifting schedules and also all the stress! :) but im thinking positively for this one. I'll keep my fingers crossed! :D I met a lot of good people too. Being on a training is such a great experience. Hope we all pass! I will definitely miss my wavemates. If we will passed the training, we will be scattered from different teams.

'till next time... xoxo janey ^_^

Bicol Adventure

We had a 3days and 2 nights vacation at Naga Cit, Bicol .

May 15, 2010

Arrival at Naga City 6.30am

Cebu Pacific (we wasnt able to get a promo fair, sayang!)

Another way to enjoy the trip is by land transportation.. you can also take bus to Naga. :)

Me, Shirl, Jess, Roan, Jem and Amie.

DAY 1

From Naga airport, we were fetch by Coach bus to CWC (Camarines Water Sports) Complex.

The place is so nice, clean and lots of water sports activities and free wifi! :)

We check-in at Cabana. There's a lot to choose from, they also have The Villa Del Rey Tikki Huts; Wood Cabins; Containers; Cabanas, Eco Village, Villas and Mansion Suites. Too many to choose from that surely fit to your budget :) - each room is good for 2 person and 1 extra person.

We were like a child, haha we play around the water inflatables. Shirleen almost got drowned (take note with life vest! hahaha) the life guard even told her "ma'am san po ba punta nyo? kanina ko pa kayo tinitingnan hindi kayo gumagalaw eh") hahaha.

Unfortunately we wasn't able to try the famous water sports in camarines sur, the wakeboarding.. so sad. (tulog kasi ng tulog ayan.. dumami yung pila sa beginners area hindi na sila nag papasok). But we promise to try it next time! hehe (sana makabalik kami). But the good thing is.. I saw Geoff Eigenman wahh grabe I'am super starstruck with him. I don't usually make "pa-picture" to any showbiz personality. but when I saw Geoff, I ask my friend "picture, picture with geoff" hahaha and my friend shirl said to me "talaga??!! papapicture ka??!!" and I said yes! hahaha and then when we were near to Geoff... I couldn't ask for picture! haha I chicken out! hahaha nilagpasan ko lang sya.. and my friend behind me.. laughing.. and they said "pa picture ah" hahahaha

Dinner time.. We decided to eat our dinner outside CWC and try the Bob Marlie's Grill located at Magsaysay road (tama ba jem?) :)

~ end ~

DAY 2

We were fetch by Kuya (forgot his name) from Rex Inn(Caramoan) at 3am from CWC. 2hrs ride from CWC to port and we were all fell asleep.. (ang aga ba naman kasi gumising). From Port another 2 hrs rides in the ferry. at Caramoan port, Kuya Dennis (from Rex Inn) welcome us. and another 15 minutes ride to Rex Inn. (grabe ang dami palang byahe, at hindi ko yun napansin in fairness kasi palagi lang tulog hehe).

Fall down

Sometimes... you thought you're heading in the right path.. but in the middle of it.. you'll get stucked out of nowhere..

Just like in love.. You thought he is the one.. pero hindi naman pala.. Ouch...

Emo mode today.. :(

fly or not to fly

I'm confused.. I don't know which path should I take?

I need a space to grow and I need to be independent.. I hope and I pray that my plans for this year will be push through.. or may be by next year.. if circumstances does not permit my plans for this year.. Even though it would be a lot harder for me.. new adjustments and other stuff.. I think I'm ready enough to handle that situation.. and I wanted to do this for my family and for myself..

and I always keep in mind that we should always Remind ourselves how much fun it would be to attain our goal. When the WHY is strong, the How doesn't matter.

GoodLuck to me!! :D

Office Drama

I think every employee experience every now and then office drama.. It is how you manage it...

-Give your employees Good Benefit Package.

Cash is not enough today to recruit and retain top talent for your business. Providing an attractive benefits plan is just as important.

While the costs can be exorbitant and the choices overwhelming, you can and should find ways to build a benefits program that works for your company.

*Find out what your employees want

It's critical to recognize just how important a competitive benefits package can be in recruiting the best staff possible. Gone are the days when salary in and of itself was lure enough.

"Competitive organizations, whether they are big or small, with benefits programs will be able to attract employees away [from you] -- especially if you don't provide the most fundamental programs such as health care, disability insurance and things like that. It's almost mandatory,"

The next step in providing a winning benefits program is to find out what your group is looking for. It's possible that subsidized or free parking could be more important to them than life insurance. You should know the needs of each employee.

10 Signs He's Not the One

Some people say they "just knew" that they were dating their future spouse. But what about the rest of us? What happens when you're not sure if he's The One? If you're considering long-term commitment or marriage, it's time to ask yourself some tough questions. Below, 10 signs that may indicate he's not for you.

1. You have a list of things he needs to stop doing/saying/wearing if he wants your relationship to work. If you're fixating on his flaws, he's either not the one you want or you're not ready for a serious relationship. Cutting him loose allows you time to grow and gives you the opportunity to meet a guy whose flaws you can embrace -- or at least accept.

2. You don't trust him. A small dose of jealousy can be healthy, but if you're hacking into his email account, and going berserk when he goes out without you, something's wrong. If there's something about him that truly warrants your distrust, then perhaps he's not the right one for you.

3. You avoid conflict at any cost. Fighting is healthy. And, when done right (in the non-accusatory, rational sort of way), it can be a great way to air grievances, fix problems in your relationship, and come to a deeper understanding of each other. Ignoring problems is not the same as having no problems at all... even if it looks that way.

4. When you're sad, you don't turn to him for comfort.When you're a giant ball of tears and snot, do you lock yourself into the bathroom so he can't see you at your worst? If you're worried about scaring him away, one of you isn't ready for total commitment. Mr. Right should make you smile through your tears and be a calming, not stressful, presence.

5. One of you is struggling with an addiction. He's sweet. He's exciting. He loves you very much. But he loves his alcohol habit or his weekly gambling fix more. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you can change him or that your relationship will be strong enough to withstand the heartache that addiction will inevitably bring. An addict may be able to change, but he'll do so on his own terms.

6. You can't really imagine him as the father of your children. Ask yourself: Would he make a great parent? Is he financially responsible? Would he be an equal partner in your future together? If you have doubts, he's probably not the one.

7. Your long-term, non-negotiable goals in life are incompatible. You want kids; he doesn't. You go to church every week; he's an atheist. He lives in the country and doesn't want to move; you can't imagine ever leaving the city. Superficial differences can be overcome, but differences in basic values are harder to smooth over. Ask yourself: "Would I be willing to compromise on this?" If the answer is absolutely not, you may not be right for each other.

8. You don't respect each other. He puts you down in front of your friends and complains about you to his parents. You roll your eyes when he talks because there's just something about him that embarrasses you. A relationship without respect can't sustain itself.

9. You're not attracted to him. Physical intimacy is a hugely important component of a romantic relationship. If he doesn't do it for you, he's probably not your best long-term match.

10. On paper he seems great, but you have this strange feeling... Don't ignore your gut. You may get along on a superficial level, but if your instincts are telling you he's not the one for you, listen. That little voice inside your head does not lie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

These are just tips, there are still different approach to look for the "one". The most important thing is that you love him and he loves you more :)
