Test of Everyday

Strait Times CATS, Jobstreet, JobsDB, StJobs, etc.. these sites might have been screamingly sore after how many times I have used them and raped its submit/apply button each day.

I am aware how difficult it is to look for jobs in Singapore yet it is much difficult than I thought of when I experienced it myself. 

Everyday is a struggle. 

Everyday is a test of personality. A test of how are you going to greet the people around you. People with different nationalities, cultures, and beliefs. A test of how will you deal with the nicest to the not so nice people. A test of how will you react when things you desire happen to somebody else except you. A test of how will you deal your life with humility and high hopes with conviction to pursue your big dreams.

Everyday is a test of attitude. A test on how will you respond to the situations of life you cannot control. A test on how will you perceive things when you cannot see what the future might bring. A test of how you are going to react while you wait, will you be patiently waiting or have been impatiently given up?

Everyday is a test of faith. A test of how much you have grown your measure of faith. A test of how long you're gonna stay firm standing securely. A test of how long can you put your trust and peace with the Lord.

Everyday, I put myself into effort to look for jobs despite the strict compliance of Singapore's Manpower system and very strong competition among foreign workers. Everyday, I feed my mind with positivity and possibilities of the success of every hardwork I do. Everyday, I put myself into deep faith that in God's best timing I will definitely have my own time for blossom.

My stay here in Singapore looking for work isn't just a struggle of looking for a better career but also a struggle of becoming a better person everyday. I am so happy that even I am still waiting for my job to come. I am so thankful that God has been always reminding me of how great He is and how great He can do in my life every single day. I am also grateful for the people around me that contributed to what I am becoming. Thanks to my parents and sisters, my cousins, my ♥, my friends, my financial mentors, and my God.

To God be the glory!

Applying for Silk Air Cabin Crew

April 5, 2014

 

French twist, high heels, and a lot of pretty faces were around the hall. I can say, most of the ladies prepared themselves for this special event 'cause this event might bring them to their dreams to work above the sky.

 

Different nationalities attended the event since SilkAir is open for all during that recruitment day. Singaporeans of course dominates, Indians, Thai, Malay, Filipino and there were also group of girls flew all the way from Korea on the same day just to apply. The Koreans belong to the really outstanding ones, because their skin were so fair and smooth, their smiles were really heartwarming, their outfits as well were strikingly beautiful. However, there were also some girls who didn't give much effort in their looks and style. Some wore party dresses and short skimpy skirts which I think weren't appropriate for the event. Yet, if that's how they thought they might carry themselves well, so be it! :D

 

I prepare myself so much for this event, since this is my first time to try and I've always wanted to become a flight attendant since I was a little. My cousin whom was a former Emirates Cabin Crew dressed me up so well, and made me look like I used to flew as a flight attendant. She did my makeup so natural and my hair twisted so that my face would look clean and tidy.

 

When I came at the hall, there was a queue of girls lined up to submit the completed employment form, 2 passport photos, and to show the NRIC or Passport and educational certificates. Then after that, each were assigned of a group number. My group number back then was 6.

 

When group 6 was called, we do arm-reach (212 cms, I think) followed by the group interview.

 

In the group interview, there were 4 panels and 10 interviewees. Each was supposed to introduce ourselves and say the reason why we went to that event. The first three girls in our group were Tiger FAs (not outstanding) which just want to try SilkAir they said. The rest were 3 Filipina(which I am one), 1 indian, and 3 average Singaporeans.

 

I make myself composed as everyone introduced themselves. I listened to everyone of them and I made myself look interested on what everyone was saying. On my turn, I introduced myself very well then I make sure I am looking to the panel interviewers and also to my colleagues to make myself interactive.

 

I thought I did well. Yet, one of the interviewers told me that I should be looking just to them since they are the ones that interviews not my colleagues. Oops.

 

I was thinking, what was the group interview for if I won't be interacting to everyone in the room?!

 

So, I just apologize and continue my warm smile then.

 

The last lady that introduced herself, the Indian(it's her second try), I believe she explained herself well, she was very relaxed and got the panel's attention in her speech. So, I bet that she'll be in.

 

After the interview, we were asked to go out of the room and wait for the panel's decision of who will be in for the next round.

 

boom badoom boom boom. HEARTBEAT.

 

From our group, only 4 got in. The three girls from Tiger Air and one Filipina. Me? I was booted out. The Indian didn't make it as well even she did well on the interview. However, the Filipina girl became my friend, she said that the next stage they've been to was the fitting of the uniform and one-on-one interview with a different interviewer. Then, they were asked to wait for a call within 2 days. If you didn't receive a call, the position might not be for you. Try again next time.

 

Before I went home, I looked around and observe.. I was surprised when the pretty Koreans weren't picked by the panel as well even they are much outstanding than the three Tiger FAs.

 

The panel didn't say any reason why I and the other ladies were booted out. My experience wasn't that harsh.. it's just maybe they are not looking just for that heart warming smile, style, and looks..

 

NO REGRETS! :D I am still happy and at peace that I tried it.. and be part of the pretty ladies who were booted out. LOL!

 

That's all!

 

HAHA!

 

 

The Crybaby is Off to Singapore

March 17, 2014

My last day at the office was heart melting with all the good memories and departing letters of great people who have been part of my fresh start in the corporate world.

As I bid farewell to my puppy love, its time to say hello to much greater!

Hello Singapore! I'm coming...

On my flight to Singapore, I was a bit scared since I'll be flying alone for the first time! Yet, the most frightening then, is the fact that, there are people I'll be leaving behind back home. My family and my love.

I don't wanna talk about the emotions that I felt. It just makes me sad and miss all my family, friends, and activities I enjoy most back home.

Ugh.. I'm crying now! What the heck!

I miss my mommy, who has been always there for me. She has been pushing me to pursue my dreams and encouraging me every time I talk to her about my plans. She always tells me that in God's time and will everything will fall into its place. And if it happens that my plans weren't God's time nor will at the moment, I can always come back home and continue my life there. She has always been supportive to me since I was young. And I am so grateful I have her.

Actually, she is also one of the reasons why I wanted to look for better (career) opportunities abroad. She's not getting any younger and some complications in her body are affecting her health. Since my dad will also be retiring in a few months, her monthly check up should be done regularly and the expenses for the medicine might be quite expensive. I love her so much. I have so much plans for her. I want her to experience to tour around the world and all the fancy stuff that she might want to do and have when she was younger, things she hadn't experience because she sacrificed so much for us, her children, her family.

I miss my baby, who has always been there for me too. I spend my last 3 months with ♥ everyday, every night, that's how much I want ♥ at my side. I am insanely in love with ♥. I miss all the hugs and kisses. I miss all the crazy things we do all the time, anywhere.

I want to stay longer with ♥ soon in the near future that is why I am so eager to work abroad to save money and time as much as I can, so that I can spend much time with ♥ pursuing all our plans together. I so love ♥ . If I could just bring ♥ with me in Singapore,  I would!

Enough!

Oh Anne! Be strong! You can make it! It's you who decided to do this after all.

Cheers! For greater things to come!

Well, good luck to me and may God's favor be with me in everything that I do!

To God be the glory! In Jesus Name. Amen.

Week 1 : 7 DAY CHALLENGE - NO BLAMING. NO JUSTIFYING. NO COMPLAINING.

Wealth File #1:
Rich people believe “I create my life.”
Poor people believe “Life happens to me.”

"You either believe you are the master of your life or play the victim. When you play the victim, complaining about how unfair life is to you, you become a living, breathing “crap magnet.” There is no such thing as a really rich victim!"

September 23, 2013

NO BLAMING. NO JUSTIFYING. NO COMPLAINING.

Today, I begin my week with accepting Harv's 7 Day Challenge of no complaining about anything - outloud and even behind my mind and try to cancel all the thoughts that would not suport me in my financial success.

As I remind myself that I should avoid blaming, justifying, and complaining, I observed that I tend to complain more. I see myself struggling even I just started my day with endless complaints.

Complaining about the Tricycle Driver I rode in..
Wrong mentality towards others..
Justifying my status at work by blaming my boss..

I am aware that I am not supposed to act like a poor victim so I haven't given up in the challenge. I kept fighting my wrong thoughts and kept pushing myself to have the correct approach towards my life and my environment. I have to train my mind with the Millionaire Mindset, I said to myself.

I actually even challenged a close friend to take this challenge so I can have a helping buddy in succeeding. We created a Penalty Account - every complaint costs Php10.00 just to accomplish in this mission. haha!
 

Book : Secrets of the Millionaire Mind - Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth by T. Harv Eker

The book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker is an eye-opening in discovering:

 

The ROOT cause of financial success, mediocrity, or failure – the very blueprint that determines our financial success practically from birth

 

The 3-part Process of Manifestation...and how to tap into this natural law to create greater wealth

The most important (and overlooked) skill you can possess if you want to be happy and successful

The 3 primary influences that determine our mind’s money blueprint and your financial destiny

The principle that determines how much you'll be able to expand your capacity to receive and keep the wealth you know you really deserve

The world’s easiest and most effective money management system that predictably accelerates your ability to achieve financial freedom

And much, much more...

This book was suggested by a friend, who also recommended me to read the Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki which became as one of my favorite books and authors.

Last Sunday - Sept 22 2013, as my friend and I went to Fully Booked BGC, we finally able to find the book and was so happy to start reading it.

I was strucked and enjoyed the book and finished reading it in just 2 days. There was an uncommon energy and particular enthusiasm in me to read everything on it as soon as I can.

T. Harv Eker's points were very applicable to myself especially in his comparisons among the poor, the middleclass, and the rich mindset towards wealth and success. He has taught a lot and promised a lot on this book which I am really looking forward to see my self in the near future.

I am so excited to start creating my financial blueprint and start proclaiming great declarations to myself and to the universe what my net worth is and what I want.

I myself am encouraged to make new decisions and actions towards achieving a Millionaire Mind and be rich and successful really soon.
 

Dikit-Bubblegum Modus

 

(photo is not mine)

 

Last night at 7 in the evening, I rode a jeepney from Mc Kinley Hill Taguig on the way to Market! Maket!. My friend and I were about to meet to have dinner so I checked my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 if she had sent me a message or what because it vibrates. I don't usually bring out my phone when commuting in jeepneys or busses so after that, I keep my phablet quickly in my bag. I am such a paranoid freak thinking every stranger could seem part of the bad guys - holdaper, snatcher, any modus. Yes, I always thought of that.

 

When I rode the jeepney, there were these two guys who seem to be very suspicious who rode after me. One [Guy 1] was seated at my left side and the other [Guy 2] was seated in front of me. It was already full in my seat yet the Guy 1 insisted Guy 2 to sit by his other side.

 

Something's fishy, eh?

I hold my belongings tightly, my umbrella and flappy bag.

First attempt. When the jeep reached Consular, a guy passenger seated in front of me [Guy 3] was pointing at my head, saying there's something on it. I have no clue what is it because he cannot even tell what in there. I was scared thinking there's an insect or a roach on my hair. I was spaced out for a moment and tried not to make a move, or else the insect might have crawled on me.  But then, he keeps insisting me to atleast touch my hair. I was hesitant so I used my umbrella instead to get rid of whatever on my hair was. There's nothing! ...

 

Hmmm?!... LIGHTBULB!!!

I realized it could be some modus that my mother used to tell me everytime, similar to Dura-Dura Gang, Suka-Suka Gang, etc. The plot is to put something gross in your belongings, or in your clothes, and even in your hair. When you are distracted removing those gross thing, this will be their perfect timing to get your valuables so you won't notice it.

 

Upon my realization, I didn't bother to make a move, not to even touch my hair. I keep my self composed and tried not to look naive and gullible.

 

Guy 3 / a concerned citizen / The Good Samaritan insisted me to dare touch my hair but I made an I-dont-trust-you-stranger look, instead. I secured my belongings and looked firm. I was shocked and somewhat annoyed when he touched my hair and tried to remove what's in it. I made a quiet shriek inside my head What the heck! What are you doing?! How dare you touch me?!  I know he wasn't trying to remove it, and I know he was the one who intentionally put it! I am frightened but neither have the courage to shout nor scold those bastards because I have no evidence that they are some Gang trying to steal my belongings. They might also be armed or they might be more than 3 guys.

 

I don't know. I have no idea what to do.

I took all the courage that I have and gave him [Guy 3] a sturd look in the eye (killer eyes) and shook my head.

Oh God!

Fortunately, he stopped and looked out the window, saying, "Tsk, Bahala ka!" .

 

I am not sure if that was a relief or I just worsen the situation. It was a risky act. They might have Plan B and Plan C, something more effective and more harsh.

Oh yes, they have some other plans, ofcourse!
 

Second attempt. Guy 1 pointed at the shaft of the jeepney, trying to be some sort of a Good Samaritan 2, acting as if he cares. Booyah! I am still doubtful about them so I just take a look at it with my peripheral view, and saw a large chewing gum on it. I cannot remember if it was there even before I rode the jeepney, but I know there wasn't. Still, I gave them a No-Response.

Third attempt. Guy 1 tried to put me behind my seat and keep pushing me to my right, as if he was offering Guy 2 to sit properly since we were sardined in the jeepney but I saw their eyes on me and my bag . Hey! I know what you are up to! Kapal niyo lang!, I screamed in my mind. I pushed Guy 1 back to his proper seat and wished to immediately get to my destination.

I cannot wait to get off the jeepney because of these bastards before they started their other plans. I am very gateful when I reached Market! Market! and ran to my friend hurriedly. I asked her if there was any on my hair, and YES! There was a gum on it.

Heck Yeah! @#$%^&*!

 

We directly head to the Comfort Room, and tried to remove it. Oil or Ice best helps to remove gum on your hair as suggested by the real concerned citizens at the CR. : )

 

Shit happens, but at least I am safe and those bastards didn't get any of my belongings! I am almost victimized but it is something to be thankful for. Lesson Learned!

 

Thank you, Lord! My Protector and my Guide!

 

 

 

-INGAT!

PS : They wear proper clothes, even branded shirts.
