JOB OPENING - Ultimate Choosy AKO

It's been 4 months since I've been here. Super choosy when it comes to work, I can't believe Filipinos are priced too low. Come to think about it, we are so hard working in any and every field.

BTW, I almost had a job last December in a Hotel. I don't want to work there. I don't even know how my CV flew all the way to their HR. Then came this job interview, I really wanted to be in, but unfortunately, I didn't get in.

Things that makes me stuck on third/final interviews.

One - UAE Driver's License, OK! Fine I am working on it. I've heard driving license is a business here. Hopefully won't take it 2 times. I have a license in MNL anyway. Not valid, OK! Working on it.

Two - UAE working experience, OK! I don't but if you read my resume I am better than most of the HR Manager's I've talked with. They don't even know how to speak English well.

Third - Holding a mother's visa, I don't think that's a problem. :)

Fourth - Tenure, I don't think you have to worry about my tenure, even if you call my references, I am confident enough the they will tell you how a great Marketer I was.

Fifth - They sensed that I am GAY? no... IDK..

Lastly, dear lord God. I know you are doing this for me to learn. I think I am done being so down, I need to step up now so please please please give me the opportunity to show my skills. I am so bored already and my head is turning tofu.

Why am I here? What the hell am I doing here? random thoughts creating a war at my head. I am too weak for disappointments. Then I cried infront of my mother on my last interview, I felt so low and under. I even thought na sana hindi na ako nag college with that kind of offer or I could've stayed at my old job.

I started blaming my ex at the back of my mind. But it's no use. I gotta move on and get the pieces of me back. I stopped crying, I thought of being grateful. I am grateful for having my mother. A mother who's very supportive and doesn't make me feel useless. Be grateful July, there are a lot of unfortunate people out there.

I regained my composure and came back strong. Apply lang ng apply.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ME AND MY MOM!

Betty's Cakes WON first place at Forever Living Product's - Baking Contest! The contest was to include FLP products to the cake.

Entry: FLOURLESS CHOCO-LITE with BEE POLLEN CAKE

Our Video Presentation

It was Thursday night, Mom and I decided to go to Forever Living Products - DUBAI to buy 2 cases of FAB energy drink because I have a basketball tryout the next morning and we wanted to sell the said energy drink. In the same day in the afternoon I have to receive my award as an AS at FLP.

I was looking around the posters and I saw FLP got talent, I was thinking of what to do for the contest, but Power Joarn popped my thought bubble and invited me to a cocktail contest and I was really lost for words. I looked around again and I saw the baking Contest. I asked Power Joarn “pwede pa po ba dito?” She said “oo pwede pa, sign up ka na, para bukas!”. I was like “.........wala ngggg timeeeeeeeee............”

That was 8pm in the evening.

I immediately told mom “MOMMM..... bakit hindi mo alam to?!”. Mom said “akala ko kasi baking kasi lessons”. She still has an excuse. Power Sheryl our upline said, “mam asa page yun!”..........

So to cut the story short, we decided to join the contest. :)))

The hardest part of the contest preparation was we had to make a 5 minute video presentation. We finished baking and shooting by 3am and I haven't edited the video. So 3am to 3:30am I was editing and I stopped by quarter to 4am because my tryout will start at 7am. GOODLUCK GALORE TALAGA!

We woke up 7am. Video not yet finished, and my tryout went well at Safa park. I got IN as point guard! :))

Then again, Mom and I have to go home by 11:30am cause she has to deliver an UBE Cake and someone will pick up another UBE cake.

I was editing our video from 12pm to 230pm! hindi na ako nakaligo! MY GOSH! We were in panic on the way to FLP. We thought we couldn't make it. And the rest was history! WE WON FIRST PLACE! :)

It's such a mother and daughter struggle! The whole day was worth it!

We even forgot to eat breakfast and lunch. Such a sweet win for us. I love you forever MOM! :))

MARCH 25 - I AM FOREVER

I've been very busy these past few days. Still doing part-time but my salary when converted to peso is HUGE! Mas malaki pa sa sahod ng manager mo ho! :)))

Anyway, I hope to get a permanent job this month or next month. I won't be that choosy anymore.This blog is an update to my JANUARY 23 Entry. It's been 62 days on 300 Calorie meal per day and still continuing Aloe Vera Juice intake. The objective is still the same. "To make my crush. CRUSH me." Grammatically wrong but you know what I mean. :))

I was 65kg when I came here in Dubai filled with fat and sorrow. I was an emotional eater. Then I decided to be better in all aspects this 2013. Change and to love yourself more.

I joined FLP for personal use of their products, now I am one of their International Distributors. I hit two birds in one stone, pumayat na ako nag ka pera pa ako. :)
