Another Day (or Night) at Work Monday, January 28, 2008

Today and tomorrow are the last 2 days of our training. I'm happy to say that I have not yet felt the urge to not go to work, primarily because we have an incentive for perfect attendance anyway. If you do not incur any lates or absences in a week, you automatically get an extra P1,250 non-taxable on top of your regular pay. In a month, that sums up to P5,000.

I have been enjoying working at VXI, and my new teammates are absolutely fun. Who would have thought that the person my husband and I play RAN Online with would be one of my officemates.

AxcessPoints Online Disaster Planning Tool Sunday, January 27, 2008

No one can predict emergencies - they can happen as fast as in the blink of an eye. Handling an emergency also often spells out heavy expenses and confusing days. With our everyday lives so advanced and high-tech, even the tasks that seem simple - managing and keeping secure our personal, financial, and legal information seems hard to do. So who do you go to in times of emergencies?

AxcessPoints is a secure online planning resource that assists individuals and families to organize critical personal, medical, and financial information and minimize the impact of a natural disaster. AxcessPoints also offers a first-of-its-kind Emergency Toolkit. The Emergency Toolkit is an interactive calculator that helps families in making a comprehensive emergency preparedness kit. What this tool does is to calculate the right level of supplies and other needed items by considering the factors of age, gender, disabilities and animals, including livestock. The information is highly secure, and the users can also choose to share sections of their emergency plan with members of their family and/or their trusted advisors.

Sometimes we might think that the area or place we live in is very unlikely to have a natural disaster, every single person can face personal emergencies, and may even have a need for managing their estate. With AxcessPoints, you can securely organize all your critical information with any web-related device, and have others access it as well. It's like having a high-tech safety deposit box.

Blast from the Past Wednesday, January 16, 2008

Today at work I saw an old friend of mine, Lourdes, and she's actually the Compliance Officer from where I currently work, VXI. I couldn't help but feel like tonight was such a blast from the past.

I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw her. All I remember though is that she has a sister (whose name I cannot remember anymore), and a couple of months back (or was it more than a year?) I received an SMS message stating that her house had burned down or something.

I guess I really need to take some time out and try to get together and catch up with my elementary and high school friends.

On Weddings Thursday, January 10, 2008

When I got married, it wasn't the grandest wedding or anything, but I didn't mind because I was with the man I loved and people ho genuinely cared for me. But my husband and I do have this plan of getting married again in a church with a gown and all.

If ever our plans do push through, I would definitely want it to be complete and well-prepared and organized, like with wedding cards and all, but not any wedding card would suffice - they would have to be unique wedding invitations. These invitations would be sophisticated wedding invitations and would be something we would be proud to show our guests and all the people we will be inviting. It should also be something we'd be happy to keep and show off to our kids when they grow up and eventually get married someday.

Oh well, although these things will not be happening yet, it's fun to think about them as early as now.
