I’m a bank person, I normally don’t like using other means to move fund. Now I don’t have a choice. I have to use western union. In their partner branch, tambunting pawnshop.

First complain, not air conditioned. I’m sweating like a pig literally. Second, I have to wait for so long! And I’m still here actually!

This is so frustrating. So for those who need to transfer fund, just use the bank. If your trade is legit, use the bank. Western union, specially tambunting… Boo!

Oh an guess what. After making me wait and sweat, they tell nether have a limit in the amount I can send for purchased goods. Ergo, I woulnt be able to send the money. Just a perfect way to try and ruin a perfect day for me!

Okay there’s only one slight issue before I go full on with this on the go blogging thing. The pictures! I can’t seem to figure out which size is the right size.

This one width is 600

Finally! I’ve always liked having my journal with me all the time. But that’s dangerous as I can always misplace it.

Now finally thanks to princessa’s suggestion, it certainly feels that way.

I know it’s not something new, it’s been around for quite some time still. It’s new for me. Given the improved reception here in Philippines. Good thing about it is that it’s so easy to install.

All I needed to do was to search for WordPress blogging app in AppStore. Download, log in and voila! It’s dummy proof. Hehe!

I’ve been feeling sad lately. I’m always moody and I get irritated so easily. For some reason, I found myself surfing the internet and suddenly, I remember I have a blog. I have a place where I can pour all my troubles, and forget about them.

For a moment I was a bit scared that it might not be up anymore because I don’t really update it, but thanks for my bestfriend, Sab, it’s still here. Thank you Sab!!!! I love you! [ Read the rest of this entry » ]

I can’t believe it has been so long since I wrote here. But anyway, the reason that made me want to write is just to thank Samsung. And no, I am not required to. Still, I want to.

About a month back, I went to a Samsung event. They were introducing their newest line of cameras. Among them is Samsung ST700, WB210 and Pl210, ST6500 and the new SH100. [ Read the rest of this entry » ]

I’m have been in Marketing for the longest time now. And I enjoy it. But, my first love still remains to be numbers. In whatever we do, everything is backed up by numbers. Especially if we’re working. The best justification for any request would still involve numbers.

You need to request for a salary increase. why would your boss do that? Show him the numbers. What was your performance for the last six months or for the last year. Show him how the sales went up when you joined the company. And if you want more impact, create a graphical representation of your data! It’s very easy, just use excel. Just fill in the blanks. If you don’t know how, ask and I’ll show you. [ Read the rest of this entry » ]

Somebody very dear to me messaged me today and told me that he’s stressed, because he has a problem. He needs a couple of hundred thousands of dollars to finance a deal that he’s working on. It should be easy for him, knowing he’s very rich, but sadly, his money is tied up in other investments. So I got to thinking- a problem like that will not happen if you have a good relationship with the banks.

In the Philippines, I used to work in the bank and I was able to take part in commercial loan transactions. And I remember, when I was still a financial analyst, I help set up a credit facility which is called a Line of Credit, and specifically at that time, it was the omnibus facility.

I browsed the internet, and I believe it is something that is called the working capital loan in the states. For people who are familiar with accounting terms, then the name itself says a lot. Basically, a working capital is the fund you use to buy inventory, pay employees, and basically pay and purchase things that are related in the everyday operations of your business.

I have been neglecting my blog these past two weeks. That will change-soon. Been in a bit of a slump lately. Lot of emotional issues that needs to be taken cared of otherwise all my entries would be purely emo. Even I wouldn’t want to read that!

I’m so lucky to have so many friends that are always willing to lend a helping hand. I have a new blog design, and obviously, I’m not the one who did it. Sab made it for me. So sweet! Sab will kill if if she knows I called her sweet.

^{Sab’s design}

And then, I received a message from my friend Marlo and he scolded me for having a new blog design. I was thinking, why is it my fault? Or a fault for that matter regardless who’s fault it is. And then he told me, it’s because he’s already making my blog design. Haha! That’s so sweet of him also to do that. Both designs are very nice, and I’m naturally greedy so I’m making Marlo’s design the skin of my about (why bother) page.

I really love both! When they say “torn between two lover” this is how I feel about these designs. Torn between to blog skins. haha! This is Marlo’s design. [ Read the rest of this entry » ]

I’ve been talking to a friend of mine and she’s very much interested in the rubber production. And because of that, I went to reading about it. I was a bit surprised to know that the market is close to having a shortage in supply.

With the booming automotive industry in China and India, their rubber production has a deficit of more than 50,000 tonnes (if I remember correctly since I just browsed through). They are having problems not only because of the increase in demand, but also in the climate. Rubber grows well in a tropical climate, and although these two countries have a big chunk of land at their disposal, not all of it is suitable for rubber cultivation.
