Pride March

The reason why I wanted to be there was to experience the march itself.

We were late. We met with some of the people from MyFemme that day. It was the day that we decided to give out flyers that we are launching the first lesbian magazine.

When we arrived there floats from different organiations and it was already the part that the organizations were being recognized. I liked the Bacardi boys, that is what I want to call them. I even had pictures taken from the Frenzy models.

There were a few protestors which was expected since we have different religious beliefs but it will all boil down to love of God for his creation.

I am happy with the turn out of the reactions from people who took the time to read the flyers. Most of them thought the magazine was out. I also noticed that this increased the members in the forum.

I now know why others are very enthusiatic to join the march, to make others see that gays and lesbians have equal rights in society and being gay or lesbian does not make us less of a person.

I am looking forward to next years pride march and I will make sure to bring my kitten along.

Here I am again, checking all the available job postings in oDesk. Why??? I am at a point again where the online jobs are more interesting than my regular job.

It was never about the pay but I guess part of it now has something to do with the pay. Maybe just maybe if  I get a $5 per hour project which could work as full time then I can give that resignation letter that I have in mind.

just because of Facebook

In a working environment, we all know that social link accounts are hardly allowed to be accessed.

I’ve had my fair share of the fun from playing Farmville, Farmtown and Cafe World. We get stressed at work and for a few minutes we do things to relax our minds. They help in their own way.

We don’t get a fair treatment at work. We can all agree on that. Well this girl in our office was caught playing Cafe World with foreigner clients visiting our office. Mind you, her workstation is just by the door. When her access was blocked, she had the guts to walk to our GMs office and rant about it. Of course, it’s a very important matter (for her) why waste time…lesser important things are on the line…

I commend your courage for the wrong things worth fighting for.

And then there were three…

Who would have thought that I’ll end up with 3 cats in my life. I never saw myself as a cat person. It was only when True and I welcomed Eri in our lives that I realized I could be fond cats.

Now the household has 2 new members, Hassee and Bounceen (inspired by the Neopets game).

Eri first hated them. They were noisy, they cry all the time. But after Eri was spayed, she might have thought that she gave birth to the 2 kittens. Both of them have been taken to the yearly pet blessing at Eastwood.

I have had a soft spot now for stray kittens that I fear I may end up adopting every unwanted kitten that I see.

They say that blessings come in ten folds. Mine came in three folds…they give me great joy whenever I see Eri look outside the window as I park the car in the garage, the noise of Hassee and Bouncee while waiting for us to enter the room (maybe because they’re hungry).

They joy they give us can never be replaced and I will forever be in debt for the feline species because they helped me more than they know.

HAHAHAHA!!!

We needed to buy supplies for Eri, cat food and litter. True suggested to just go to Cartimar. At the back of my mind while we were on our way, I thought to myself, since I already have the money and we are going to Cartimar, which is where Eri’s Vet is, I’ll let her have her vaccinations.

I parked right in front of the clinic. I announced to True and Eri that I will let her have her vaccinations. True instantly disagreed as she is not ready to see Eri get hurt again. I let her have her way for a few hours. After having lunch I was determined that Eri should get her shots. And True being the kind pet owner that she is, agreed.

Eri didn’t cry as much, but she has the reputation of being feisty. The vet’s assistant rememred that from our last visit, Eri’s claws were buried to his hand. Knowing this, he got himself a towel and the rest is history.

Our little baby will be going back after 3 weeks for another shot. I just want her to be safe from any animal virus out there.

Wow!!!

Rainbowbloggers has accepted me as a member. Though I don’t have any blog readers. Maybe soon, I’ll be able to post something of interest and people will read what I have to say. It’s ok, I don’t even advertise my blog anyway. It is a form of self-expression and everyone is entitled to it.

CARA welfare Philippines – Adoption Booth

I am an official member of the CARA welfare Philippines. CARA stands for Compassion And Responsibility for Animals. I joined the organisation as a thank you for sending Eri (our kitten) into our lives.

I owe it Eri to support her kind. Most people don’t care much for local breeds of cats and dogs, specially cats who are more often the victims of road kill.

I was, one of those who didn’t like cats. Until I met Eri and she proved me wrong. Cats are easier to potty train.

This one is for our kitten Eri, I am now an official member of CARA. I just paid the lifetime membership fee of $11. You can pay this thru PayPal or pay P500. The membership will give you a discounted price for spay/neuter.

I hope the our little Eri will be part of our lives for a very long time…she should be, she has 9 lives

Out and Proud

At long last, months of waiting and planning, it was finally launched. MyFemme magazine. The first lesbian magazine in the Philippines. Though I have been involved, during the time that we were still collaborating ideas for it, I never saw the media kit. We were joking that it was just a hobby for “poks” (as my partner calls her).

We arrived early, we were asked to help with the preparations for the party. Since we came from Paranaque, our arrival was just an hour before the party started.

I was not disappointed, the party was packed, my friends were there. I even gave free tequila shots just to encourage people to dance.

Looking forward to the next issue and that means thinking of what to contribute for the magazine then.

Setting up a Mini-Call Center of your own

It’s sad that I had to finish the project with Armando (his name sounds like those of Mexican telenovelas). He was a good employer. I just didn’t have that much time.

It was fun though. I was my own mini-call-center. It was my first home-based project. The project inspired me to venture on the idea of setting a home-based call center. None of that PABX phones.

Things to do:
1. Get a Skype account with a phone number attached. You can have the calls forwarded to it.
2. Find a chat support service, there are several for free and I used IntelliliveHelp. Offer the link to you client. You can use this link to different websites since you can track which website is the incoming chat coming from. Also, it can track the visitors of the site.

That is simple customer service for an inbound account. Phone and Chat. Emails will need to be provided by the client as it is their domain. If you get one then just forward them to you Gmail account and you can reply using the given address.

It’s best to create your website to be more business like. Prospective clients will know that you are serious with the project and your home-based business.

Set-up is quick and easy. You just have to put your heart in it.

And 2009 is here

It is a common thing for most of us to have new year’s resolution and it is more common that we are not able to implement these resolutions until the second month of the year. Maybe because there are just some things that are better left as they are.

Instead of resolutions it would be better to maintain what I think is best for me.

My kitten of course will remain for many years to come. My currently relationship which I hope will also remain for many years.

What I hope that will progress is the online career that I am pursuing. Bills are piling up and I need the extra income badly.

I will find the time to learn french (again) and other skils that can be useful for work.

I still need to update the TrueCustomerService website (which I hope to learn how to…)

And lastly, the deadlines…all of my deadlines are still going to be finished on time.
