All brides want to be the most beautiful bride on their big day. And in our current society, one aspect of being beautiful is being slim. If you’re a bit on the heavy side, how do you think you can lose some weight? Dieting? How about plain old exercise, or both? I bet that’s the safest and most recommended way. While others are also into taking slimming pills and maybe even an appetite suppressant. Now I don’t know if those last two are effective but I believe if you opt to try them, you have to maintain taking those pills on a regular basis.
Because I have a theory that once you stop taking dieting pills, and that if you don’t change your lifestyle, you will just regain the weight you’ve lost. And then you have to start all over again. Which is sad.

Will Philippine BPO Industry remains to be the sunshine industry?
I guess yes, for now. But since Vietnam, Malaysia and Sri Lanka have been silently working on advertising themselves as the next preffered BPO locations, then I guess it’s high time to look at where we’re at right now.
According to this recent article on BPO firms, we have to keep with the global standards (of customer service satisfaction) and market ourselves heavily as well so as not to lose this spot in the eyes of these call center companies.
As Filipinos are known for their work dedication and hospitality, I believe that we should not only maintain great work ethic but also show them good statistics to justify their stay here in the Philippines.
But if our Asian neighbors will bargain a much competitive compensation, technology and talent pool, we might eventually find ourselves losing the ’shine’, causing unemployment left and right.
And this is the scenario that we don’t want to happen right? Because losing these call center jobs means losing the jobs in other sectors as well, especially in telecommunications, transportation and hospitality industries.
So for all of us who are working in call centers, let’s do our share in keeping our industry alive. Let’s always put our best foot forward and remain competitive globally, these simple steps will greatly help in securing our jobs and the preference of our global clients.

…by a tricycle. And she was not even there when it happened. She parked her car and when she came back hours later, there’s a big dent on the side of her brand new Toyota Vios. Good thing my friend has a car insurance that will take care of everything.
The only problem is, the Toyota branch where she bought her car still has a long line of cars scheduled for repairs. I have a hunch those are the cars that were submerged during typhoon Ondoy. I’m pretty sure there are still lots of cars that are not yet repaired.
I think my friend was told she will have to wait for at least two more weeks before her car can be serviced. Until then, she has to content herself driving around a spanking new car with a visible dent on the side.

Call center continues to be the sunshine industry in the Philippines.
This is because another BPO facility is set to expand their operations in the Philippines.
UST Global is a leading provider of BPO services and solutions will hire a thousand recruits. Their presence in the Philippines is their second largest location following India.
This is definitely another good news for all aspiring call center agents who want to set foot in this million dollar industry. We just have to keep in touch with their next update as to where they will specifically house their call centers soon.

Whenever we are at the mall, my boyfriend loves to stop by an electronics store and look at the various desktop computers on display. He keeps on saying that he wants one (even though we already have four laptop computers).
I guess the reason for this is because I wouldn’t let him play any video games on any of our laptops. So he would naturally want a desktop of his own and install games in it. I have nothing against video games, but I’m pretty sure that it will eat up much of his time instead of doing more constructive things with his computer.
Maybe I’ll let him play every once in a while. Perhaps I can install a software program that will time his playing and automatically shuts the game off when it has already reached the specified time. Now that would be nice (for me).
