TwitterWhat a mistake. I brushed off good offers hoping that I will have a better stake with my current job. All my what-if arguments were wrong. Projections were way above the reality. And I don’t think it is polite to knock on their doors again begging them to send me back the offer sheets.
Oh well, [...]

Ambigram – Paulo-Mona
Posted by jgavan101 on March 29th, 2007
I had a kick of creative juices flowing lately after seeing other bloggers who have been working with ambigrams for a year. Some of them are really successful with their hobby and are making a business out of it. I hope to get another commission to make one.
Anyway, here’s an ambigram for my officemates who [...]

It’s final and all is set. Papa will be joining the political arena. He is running for municipal councilor at Pontevedra, Negros Occidental.
Quite surpising to enter politics past his golden years. But im not that surprised. I know papa has a knack for public service. At several points in his life, I saw him volunteer and [...]
Sweet Politics

Tessie Oreta had a new advertisment released last week telling the people she was sorry for the “dancing” she did in the Senate during the Estrada trail last January 2001. Its amazing how people can still remember that episode clearly.
“Malaking pagkakamali yung ginawa kong iyon. Gusto kong humingi ng patawad.” She said these with matching [...]

Guess what? Our company will be having a shutdown for the Holy Week. Typically this lasts for 3-5 days. We close the factory to observe the lenten season. No operations. No work. This April we have a 7 day shutdown. One week of rest and recreation.

My Road to Riches – Banks and Interests
Posted by jgavan101 on March 22nd, 2007
After keeping coin banks, next is doing business with a real bank. Banking is very convinient. Allows me to keep some of my money and earn a little. In fact, its very little. Earning interests are so small in most banks but the charges are high. So I also make the most with these banks.

I have seen the movie “Music and Lyrics” starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. It was good. At first, I was disappointed that they only made one song together. I was expecting that they would make more hits and have them all in a soundtrack. That didn’t meet my expectation. Instead, they just made one [...]
Call Center Stress
Posted by jgavan101 on March 20th, 2007
Last week, there was a news of a man dying while in duty in a call center. I think this is the second time I have heard such news. I was amused why this is included in the news when work related deaths can happen very often in any industry.
Doctors believe that the death is [...]

I heard that the company will provide monetary assistance if your spouse is giving birth. It’s about 25,000 Php. I thought, what if your spouse give birth four times in a year? Imagine, that will be 100,000 a year. How possible can it be?

A Picture Frame that Paints A Thousand Words
Posted by jgavan101 on March 15th, 2007
Having a digital camera has one disadvantage. The only way to view your pictures is by using a computer or using the small LCD screen of your camera. If there are pictures you really like, you compile them into a screensaver and cycle those pictures into your monitor screen to it show it off to [...]
