Unstoppable Opportunities

Matagal na din akong nagtuturo sa mga Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) specially sa mga papunta ng Japan as interns under the JITCO program. More than 19 years na! Ito ang mga natutunan ko patungkol sa PERA, handa ka ng malaman? 1. Madali kumita ng pera. Hindi problema ang sweldo, lao na kung sila ay masipag, hindi salit sa ulo ni Shachou, mabait at masunurin. Kadalasan, meron bonus pa pag-uwi. 2. Marami sa mga interns ang nakapagpagawa ng bahay o napagawa at na-improved ang lumang bahay. Ito ang isa sa importanteng dahilan kaya nag-sasakripesyo ang intern na magtrabaho ng 3 taon sa Japan. 3. Marami ang natulungan ng intern sa mga pag-aaral ng anak, kapatid at minsan pamangkin. 4. Bihira ang umuuwi ng walang naipong pera. At least meron nakakapag-ipon ng 100,000 pesos (maliit na ito). 5. Ang pinaka malaki kong alam na na-ipon ay P1.4M. Tinanong ko papaano niya nagawa ito? Ito ang formula niya: maaga siyang nagsimulang mag-impok, regular niya na tinatabi ang ipon, walang palya....

2012. Another year has passed. Many said that 2011 went by so fast. I felt that too! But here's the thing. For those who were focused in accomplishing their goals, 2011 was fast. The reverse is true for those who were busy doing nothing. This year, my goal is to simplify my life and accomplish something. My focus will be on the things: 1. Grow in my relationship with God, 2. Family, 3. Ministry and this includes winning souls and making disciples, expanding our business reach and working with the interns at Uno Overseas. This morning I received an interesting email from a co-worker at NCR Phils., Tina Castaneda. I am posting this because am sure it will be handy if you're setting goals for 2012. It was a blessing to me and I am sure it will be to you too. You don't have to do all 20 but if you can do some which are meaningful to you, then you have made a step forward.

Last week, Maritess and I decided it's about time to order the Kitchen Cabinet to be installed at my sister's unit at Berkeley Residences in Katipunan, Quezon City. We were excited after getting approval from her to go ahead and buy the kitchen cabinet first from a well known supplier of CONDO items that FITS all sorts cabinets, which has an outlet at SM North right under the parking lot at the back of THE BLOCK. What would you feel if they suddenly change the terms of the quotation saying that if we didn't order the "whole lot" the prices will be increased and that's because they have an internal memo about it? Exactly. I felt betrayed and the worst thing was the manager insisted she was right because she just told me about it when I clarified the issue. She bang her hand on the table saying she knows what she's saying! I have been in sales and marketing for a long time. That's not they way to deal with a customer. It would have been better...

What is it with blogging?  As I read more about bogging, I find there are many ideas and even contradicting ideas which makes me wonder who to listen to.  Why I am blogging I started blogging about six months ago. I thought to myself, that I need something to do when the time comes for me to stop working. In my age, many would probably think of retiring and  live on their pension. But the last time I was at SSS, I learned that I would be receiving a measly P8,000 a month pension. With the rising cost of living, that amount would not be enough to support me and my wife. I thought of doing something that will give me additional stream of income and build on my retirement fund as I go along. Somebody told me to try blogging.  My motivation for blogging The main reason why I chose to blog was when I saw a young man, whom I call my mentor, make P500,000. He set up a blog which features news items and it was earning from AdSense. It was earning a lot that...
