Future Engineers

My housemates, Aed, Tofer, Mike, Athan and Juboness, graduated their Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering at St. Thomas Aquinas University in Bicol. They came here in Manila to attend review classes in preparation for the board exam. They took the exam on March 28 and 29, 2009. They exerted so much of their time studying their lessons hoping to be a full-pledge Engineers someday. I am positive that they can do it! Future engineers, congrats!

They're leaving the house. This is expected. They need to find their life somewhere else. Some of them will be back to their homeplace, others will stay some other place in Manila.

Bebe Gandanghari Fever

Nawindang ang madla sa pagsulpot ng isang Bebe Gandanghari sa mundo ng showbiz. Sino nga ba siya? She's the former young actor, Rustom Padilla.

Rustom's transformation is the talk of the town. Maraming nonshowbiz personalities na sumunod na rin sa kanyang mga yapak. Who are they???

Condrado Uberita , a well-respected CPA, an author of various accounting books and a reviewer of a certain review school transformed to Ube Gandangrita after she realized that it's time to live life out of a closet.

My housemate, Julio Bonifacio Cadimas, a fresh graduate from a certain university somewhere in Bicol and currently taking review classes in a certain Engineering review center here in Manila, is now known as Juboness Gandangbaka. Why Gandangbaka? Because according to her, she owns more than a hundred of cows in Bicolandia.

Another housemate named Jerome, a freshman IT student is now known Tweetums Gandangdota. It is because her pasttime is playing Dota.

Gandanghari, Gandangrita, Gandangbaka and Gandangdota are now real woman sa isip, sa salita at sa gawa. Who could be the next?

C'mon don't hide the real you. Be out of the closet! Be one of them!

Accenture: What's happening?

Have you heard of the latest news in the call center industry?

It's all about Accenture, a US-based firm that deals with global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing .

Accenture is laying off almost half its workforce in the Philippine capital due to the effects of the global financial crisis. Accenture Philippines has filed a notice of retrenchment for about 500 workers out of a total headcount of more than 16,000 employees at its facilities in Manila.

This is alarming to call center folks. Hopefully, this may not be a start of the laying-off of employees in other call center companies.
