Legit online job - Scribie

If you're looking for a part time job online, and a legit one, quote me on this... "Go for Scribie." Just look at the links I have provided here in my blog and click it! This all started when a cousin of mine, fresh out of school, jobless, but with a kid, asked me to click on that link, which at first, I thought to be bogus. I didn't really believe that my cousin would have found something like that. He was asking me to be part of the site's referral program, where, if I was accepted into the job, he gets a 5% referral commission for every successful applicant. I ignored it for some time, and then, I heard his mom talking about it one day. I then decided to go for it. I registered, and was asked to wait for an email for the test proper. Oh my, to my surprise, I did receive an email that said, I had to wait for 400+ days to get tested because there were so many applicants. Boom - I lost my faith right there. Probably a few weeks after, I received another letter saying that I was up for the test. There were 10 files in my queue. All you had to do is transcribe a six minute file, make sure your grade is satisfactory/passing and then you are hired! It took me up to the sixth try to submit a "worthy" file. (You have the chance to cancel a file that you think you won't be able to transcribe correctly, but you get only ten tries. Each attempt is considered a try.) Anyway, I passed! I won't drill down further into the mechanics because I would like you to read the guidelines on the website thoroughly. Haha. All I can say is that this is legit, and it's worth a try. Here are some screenies for proof:

 1. Here is how my profile looks like. (I took my name out, of course!)

 
 2. Here is a summary of my Performance for the last 30 days:

3. Here is a summary of my earnings:

 

 4. And here is the breakdown:


 

 If you have questions, just leave a comment and I will get back to you as fast as soon as I get online again. There are so many details to share about this, but at this time, I just really want to sleep. :-) 'Till tomorrow!

did i just lose my self-confidence?

This afternoon I was talking to my boss, and during the discussion, I did bring up the topic of me feeling unsure of doing my job because it always turns out either wrong or something he did not expect to have. Being his normal self, he went on explaining how things should be done, how we should work together, how I can solve that problem of always being "unsure" of what I am doing. He told me to keep on verifying, to always revisit, to always talk to him. And now, being my usual self, I just said "yes" to everything he said. At that time though, it did occur to me that maybe, I was just really being hard-headed, and that perhaps, that is indeed the right thing to do. I have been waiting for Ed now, all evening, and I guess this gave me time to ponder on what have transpired during the day. One thing that hit me most is... Did I just lose my self-confidence? Since I said "yes" to every single thing he told me, does that mean now that every move I make is now "unsure" and needs to be verified by him? I just realised that what he did is rob me off the confidence. When will I ever feel confident of myself? When will I ever feel confident that what I am doing is right? It strikes me that I have worked so hard to get to where I am now, as a manager, and it feels like I was just pulled ten steps behind. I wish people could read my blog and I wish for a healthy discussion and sharing of ideas that could give me a different perspective of things. It is actually a good exercise having discussions like these with people I don't know, not having to worry about prejudiced opinions/biases. Oh well, I hope my husband comes soon to pick me up from the office, or else, more doubts will come into my playful brain and mess me up once more.

Seriously Overdue

Last night, I received a letter from a law office, asking me to pay a “seriously overdue” mobile phone bill with Globe Telecom, in the amount of PhP1,750. The letter states that their records show that I have been hesitant to pay the bill, thus the legal action against me. There’s also a statement saying that my reputation will be negatively affected and that I will be blacklisted with the CMAP (Credit Management Association of the Philippines). Instead of being worried, I felt angry. Why? I have been a loyal customer of Globe, since probably 13 or 14 years ago, and never did I intend to negatively taint that record with just a meager amount of PhP1,750. That number used to be my dad’s number, it was a fixed auto-load plan, meaning, the mobile phone automatically gets a load of 500 pesos every month. It’s a cost-effective plan in that the mobile phone user’s spending is controlled. I eventually had it disconnected after finding out that my dad isn’t using it anyway. As per standard operating procedure, you should receive a final bill after disconnection. I did not receive one. Anyway, enough of the details because Globe is such a big company while I am nobody, and someone who “seriously” owes then such a “big” amount of PhP1,750. All I am saying is, I don’t think that’s the right way to treat a loyal customer.

Cheers to 2014!

I am so looking forward to 2014, excited about so many positive things that Ed and I envisioned ourselves to be part of. With all of the drama that transpired in my life, probably between my last blog and now, I can confidently say I've become a hundred-fold stronger, wiser, a and much much better person. I really don't want to be this dramatic with my first new blog of the year, but I want to end this post with the one very important lesson I've learned through the years: Life's most important lessons are usually learned the hard, painful, and shitty way. You won't be given problems you can't bear, but when you get out of it, hell yeah, trust me, you are a new person. A new you - older, wiser, better .
