📹 It was so Unlawful in the World of Customer Service Representative. – William Pombo.

William “Princess” Pombo is working in a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) for five years now. He cached me up in my home and I let him listened a call while recording his reaction. The call was about a technical issue of a newly-buy laptop. The caller needs help on getting a new battery by calling the technical support. However, the TSR didn’t get the root cause of the problem; instead, he stocked into the script of the call and didn’t come up the resolution into a timely manner.

“That was unlawful in the world of CSR”, Pombo said.

“Even in a simple social conversation, you’ll get irritated when someone kept asking you the same question over and over even if you already gave the information” he added.
Meanwhile, the said call became viral in the social media –facebook. It was shared several times by BPO workers and went trending.  I also let Mellisa Perilla listened the same call in a separate video (Click here), Mellisa Perilla is a process trainer in a BPO company.

🎬 Fun Getaway at Bet ‘N Choy Farm & Resort – Catigbian,Bohol.

Advertisement by Google:

Together with my High School Batchmates – Mirazol , Celyn, Adonis, Melgerie and Dong-dong. We agreed to have a getaway to the nearest resort as much as possible. This plan is a part and a continuation of our “San Isidro High School Grand Alumni Homecoming 2017”. The original plan was to go to Panglao Island yet the majority agreed that it is much better to choose the nearest one. The agreement was being formulated during our first day of Reunion Party held in San Isidro National High School on May 11, 2017.

May 16, 2017, right after the celebration of the San Isidro Town fiesta, we headed towards Bet N’ Choy Farm and Resort which is situated in Catigbian, Bohol. We were disappointed because those who originally attended the meeting did not join and we were only few to continue to the said getaway. But we still continue executing the plan.

We brought the leftover foods from the Fiesta – Lechon Paksiw and we drove towards the resort. Mirazol, together with Celyn drove her car and Melgerie and I rode with Adonis in his car. While our policeman batchmate named Dong-dong drove his motorcycle. Indeed, we’re only few but everyone was excited.

Bet’N Choy Farm and Resort is a newly established recreational place in the Province of Bohol. It offers a lot of swimming pools that has corresponding prices of the entrance fee that will surely fit your budget. There are also cottages to choose to, depending on your needs. This resort is perfect for Boholano’s and visitors from different surrounding provinces of Bohol. Bet’N Choy resort is a family friendly place since this is a family owned business by one of the town’s ex-mayor. Undeniably, the names of the pools and places inside are named after their sons and daughters.

Infront of the SNACK BAR – where you can pay for the pool entrance and cottage. It is a separate fee from the main entrance.

I noticed that the entire vicinity was still under construction and continuously expanding the area. In fact, this place is a talk of the town due to its newly built pools and the facilities were also latest and clean.

Ice cream time (From the left) Celyn Balatayo Orbuda, Melgerie Samuya, Adonis Astronomo, Jonathan Orbuda and Mirazol Pasco.

On my first glance when we arrived, it reminded me of a theme park which is the same concept in some resorts in Luzon. But the difference of Bet’N Choy , it is situated in the middle of nowhere .This is perfect if you really want to escape the urban zone and  you want to change your surrounding into fully green trees and plants.

Bonding moment with Adonis Astronomo. During our high school days, he was one of the womanizers in the batch 2004.

Infront of Doni Ray Lagoon ‘n Cavern Spa. Unfortunately , we were not allowed to swim inside this pool because it wasn’t part of our paid entrance

I tried to flirt the guard in Doni Ray Lagoon ‘n Cavern Spa so that we can go inside and take some photos.

Upper view,  as Melgerie captured my landing moment at the pool after the breath taking slide.

Honestly, I did not enjoy the slide. It was so scary; I just did it for my VLOG.

Truly, it was a fun getaway with my childhood friends; all of us are already matured and each of us has each own walks of life, but I saw on their face while we were enjoying the jiffy that they missed so much their childhood. I saw how they became stubborn, wild, crazy and limitless when were at the moment and it shows on their gestures, laughter and smiles.

Why Adobe Photoshop is Important to Me?

Advertisement by Google:

Creativity is not enough in creating content. You still need some help from the technology side to enhance the final output.  In blogging, photos are part of the final output to produce a visual in the story.Indeed, you need to consider that unpleasant photos will ruin the totality of the output no matter how good the story is. Especially in the world of internet, it is a competition to get the attention of the netizen and how you’ll keep their attention to finish reading your articles.

This is not a sponsored post or whatever from the ADOBE Companies, but I highly love their product named Adobe Photoshop. I’ve been maintaining this blog for how many years and Adobe Photoshop is part of it.

 Using this software as a photo editor needs familiarization so that you can maximise the full potential of this.  At first, I had hard time using this editor since I have no knowledge about it –at all. I just watched my friends in college as they we’re editing photos for the publication – wherein I was also part of the said group.

I was amazed how they turned a dull photo into a dynamic and eye-catching output. They’re even removing the pimples from the faces in just a simple eraser. From then, my I started to study in my own on how to use such software. This software made my photos worth blogging (Click here for the sample). Even posting in my social media – twitter,facebook and Instagram – I’ll make sure that there is no raw file that I uploaded instead it will go first to the hand of  my beloved Adobe Photoshop.

Until now, I am still using this software for my blogs and for my client’s projects; simultaneously learning some techniques (Learning is continues though). Some smart phones now offered photo editor software and there are also online photo editor that you can be downloaded on your smartphone but I still prefer Photoshop due to its capacity to edit and enhance the way I wanted.



 That is it for today, I just want to share you guys what I used to edit and enhance my photos online. If you’re an online content creator, aside from Photoshop, what photo editor you used? Leave your comment below.

♫ Justin Timberlake - Mirrors (Cover Song by Tansyong Orbuda)

Advertisement by Google: This is one of my favorite songs - Mirrors by Justin Timberlake. It has been a while I created a cover song, and I missed it. So, in this blog post I'll be singing my own version of Mirrors.

I recorded my vocal using my Samsung A5 and I used Sony Vegas to enhance. It is my first time to create a vocal production using software editor. I just learnt this by just watching Youtube instructional videos.

Hope you'll like it.

📹 Visiting My Beloved Past Grandparents.

Advertisement by Google:

In this video - part of my “Bohol Homecoming” is to drop by and visit my grandparents’ remains at the memorial garden of San Isidro, Bohol. I promised to myself that I wouldn’t push the boat out at the fiesta and alumni reunion alone without visiting my two beloved individuals who were part of who I am today-My Lola Rita and Lolo Roman.

It was too sad because I wasn't able to attend on their both burials in two separate events due to the call of my work. I was working in a BPO company that time and they didn't allow me to go home since they're not my legally immediate family. It was painful to me because they're the one who nurtured me since birth up until I graduated high school. They’re even my parents to be real.

But it’s not too late to visit them, isn’t it? Because I knew they understand me during the time that I need to prioritize my work. I may lose them and simultaneously lost my job if ever I went home for the burial. It was not easy for me chose my job over these people who took care of me and supported me when I need a parent’s figure. Mostly, if your relatives in the province can’t understand me – on my decision. They thought that I already forgot where I came from; they assumed that I’ve changed since I’m now residing in the metro.

Indeed, reminiscing those times will always haunt me. But I was trying to be strong that time-trying to sugar-coat everything that perhaps my past Lola and Lolo understood my situation. I just ignored the condemnation that I got from my micro-minded relatives. What matters the most, I love my Grandparents and it doesn’t mean that without my existence on their last day, I already forgot them.

Sorry! This post is kind of emotional.

#MotivationalMonday ; Why Not To Blow The Candle Of Others?

There are two types of person in this world that you might had encounter – those who are happy when others are down and those people who are unhappy seeing others having difficulty. If you’re one of those people who are unhappy seeing others’ downfall; then you must be a fortunate one. Why I said so, because you have this virtue that no one can put a price on it.

Remember, blowing other’s candle will not make your candle brighter. In fact, it will just lessen the light and it might give both of you a darker pathway.

In this short Photo Blog, I hope that you will consider evaluating yourself. Happy Monday!

#MotivationalMonday 😙 The Best Answer To a Question, Why You're Still Single?

HAPPY MONDAY!

Advertisement by Google:

Can you still remember my VLOG post about “why being single is an advantage?” , if not you can watch it here. I did that video due to the fact that a lot of us never see the bright side of being single. We kept on dwelling on the feeling of emptiness. We felt envy deep within every time we see couples holding hands while walking. We even cursed them – “Maghihiwalay din kayo”. I know all of you guys can relate on this because I also experience such feeling.

Indeed, we even feel self-pity every time you go out for a dinner alone and ended up eating on a table full of savoury foods yet no one is sharing with you at the moment. Damn! That’s so painful, isn’t it?

If you are also single in a long span of time (e.g. years or more), your friends, families and workmates will keep on asking the tough question – Why you’re still SINGLE?. That scenario will pressure you to commit into a relationship even if you’re not yet ready. And worst case, you’ll end up to a wrong person that will later on make you more down.

Undeniably, there’s one thing you forget why you’re in hurry to have a relationship and that is indulging your singleness. Why I have the guts to write this, because we are on the same page. I am also single for how many years now and same with you – I went to a situation wherein I questioned myself “What’s wrong with me?”. I even felt down whenever I grabbed a bite in a restaurant alone. On the latter part, it didn’t help me anymore – dwelling on that situation. And that was no longer healthy for me.

To cope up such down moment, I spent my idle time going out with friends, I made myself busy e.i. writing my blogs, editing videos for my YouTube, travelling alone, and focusing on my work so that I can pay my bill. I didn’t dwell on the sad part of being a single yet I take advantage my singleness to evaluate myself , make myself value-laden, and above all I kept this statement into my heart and mind – TRUE LOVE WAITS.

Happy Monday Guys.. And I hope this blog helps you to stay happy for the rest of the week.

#MotivationalMonday : Are You Having Hard Time To Move Forward?

Advertisement by Google:

Hello Guys! I knew that Monday is the day of the week that you despised the most. This is the day that will remind us that we have to back to reality - especially to those who came from the weekend travel. This is the day that we need to work for a living.

And so, let me motivate you with this simple Photoblog of mine that was taken during my Marinduque Travel with the caption “NO MATTER HOW FUCOS YOU ARE ON YOUR FUTURE, IF YOU HAVE UNFISNIHED BUSINESS FROM YOUR PAST, and THIS WILL HIND YOU TO SUCCESS”

This is something that will pull you back - e.g. these are your hatred, anger, pride and alike - that sometimes it is hard to let go but we have to. These are intangible things that we got from our childhood and we carried as of today. And up until now, we still include it inside our baggage which made us more having hard time to step towards the right path because of the heaviness.

Indeed, it is easy to write an advice or utter the words "WE HAVE TO FORGIVE”, isn't it? In reality it is the opposite but it is easy when we start emptying our hearts from any pollutions and toxic - controlling you to be taught how to finish your business from the past.
HAPPY MONDAY GUYS !

🎧 My First Radio Guesting Brings Me Back To My Original Dream.

From Dreaming of Radio to Thriving on YouTube: My Journey in Broadcasting

As a kid, I dreamt of having my voice heard by a specific audience, imagining myself as one of the lively hosts I admired on radio shows. I spent hours listening to various programs, envisioning the day I could hold a mic and share my thoughts. After graduating and entering the workforce, I didn’t let go of that dream. Instead, I found a way to keep it alive through podcasting. Every weekend, I poured my energy into recording episodes while juggling a full-time job on weekdays. It wasn’t easy, but it was fulfilling.

A podcast, an episodic series of digital audio files, allows users to subscribe and automatically download new episodes. I started with a budget-friendly microphone and recorded content close to my heart. Podcasting opened doors to broadcasting and taught me invaluable lessons. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints—especially the cost of hosting my audio files—I had to put my podcasting passion on hold. Traditional radio, my original dream platform, also felt unattainable due to the challenges of breaking into the industry.

From Podcasting to YouTube: A Shift in Dreams

While I temporarily stepped away from podcasting, my passion for sharing stories persisted. That’s when I discovered YouTube, a platform that felt like a natural progression for my aspirations. YouTube required more effort, blending audio with video to create engaging webcasts, but it allowed me to explore storytelling in new and exciting ways. Producing content for my channel reignited my love for broadcasting. The creativity and energy required reminded me of radio, but with the added challenge of visuals.

One day, my efforts paid off. I collaborated with a fellow YouTuber on a webcast, and the video went viral. This led to an unexpected opportunity: an invitation to guest on his radio show. Hearing the word “radio” brought back all the emotions tied to my childhood dream. It felt like my journey had come full circle.

Today, innovation continues to shape our lives and aspirations. While my childhood dream of radio broadcasting has evolved, YouTube remains the platform that allows me to reach my audience and share my voice. The effort is immense, but the fulfillment is priceless. Dreams may change, but the drive to connect with others never fades.

📹 Mystical Experience in the Enchanted Cave of Bolinao, Pangasinan.

Advertisement by Google:

📹The entrance fee per person is amounting to PHP150 and you can maximize the amenities inside the resort. If you’re gonna bring your own car, a separate bill for the parking is somewhat frustrating. Aesthetically, the resort is not a typical resort – the surrounding is abundant of rock formations that add up the character and distinctiveness of the place from the other resort. The place is mystical visually due to the various sceneries that remind me of a fairy tale.

I was supposedly filming my whole experience there but unfortunately the battery of both my camera and phone got empty before I reach the actual cave. The cave is under the ground. You need to pass through in a laddered-narrow hole going down under. When I reached under the ground, there is a 6-ft.natural pool with rope installed around it for safety of the guests. Since that was weekend, the cave was over crowded. The cave’s natural pool is not relaxing for me to swim because of the congestion. I tried to soak and the water is cold but I had hard time breathing. Indeed, that was pretty weird – cold water yet hot atmosphere; and so I decided to get out.

I went back outside and buy some “pasalubong” since there are stores selling local merchandise. There’s also an available eatery right at the entrance but I don’t know the prices of the foods.
Overall, roaming around inside the resort is physically tiring but the urge to see the amazing and picturesque views in all corner of the resort is indescribable

When Provincial Ramp Models Walk...

Advertisement by Google:

When we utter  the words “Ramp and Catwalk Modeling” , we usually associate it with classy  men and women who are living in the urban zone, with  (somewhat ) cozy images that can only be visible in the city. These are individuals who can walk with confidence in front of anybody due to their upbringing – uptown people.

When I went back home to my province (after 13 years)  – Bohol. I never imagine that live mannequins exist in this rural place of San Isidro. In celebration of St. Isidore ‘s Fiesta, Cabanugan people conducted a variety show entitled “Cabanugan Live” – which noticeably an adaptation of Sunday noontime show ASAP

Indeed, several of segments were demonstrated on the said night show – singing, dancing, game-show (I’ll upload all the videos in my youtube channel soon) and above all, modeling. I was surprised on how the modeling segment was executed by the chosen youth from Barangay Cabanugan. The men were so gorgeous; and the women were all visually amazing on their high heels.

Until now, while I’m writing this blog, I can still remember the show – that was remarkable. I never thought that this remote Barangay can produce talented models. Maybe, I just underestimated the aptitude of the natives of this Municipality since it has been 13 years when I left San Isidro. But upon watching these models, I must say –their capacity can obviously compete those veteran models here in Manila.

Look at  them - after seven years  (From 2011 in the video to 2017 in the pictures)

Hello guys! I just recovered this video which is part of my Bohol Travel way back 2011. This video is a cover of 14 songs featuring Arnel Alturas, Christoper Galagar, Roche Encorporado and Myrtle Light Villar. I met them when I stayed in Panglao Island for an overnight accommodation –that was April 2011 to indulge the summer and to celebrate my college graduation. Yes! That was seven years ago to be specific but that moment is worth reminiscing.

Truly, in every travel, the most exciting part is meeting random of people and locals. When I went back to Bohol after I finished my college, I am so happy to meet these talented young kababayans. They occupied the cottage adjacent to my location. I was alone that night with my guitar while staring at the sea. One of them approached me to have some Tagay (Shot) of tuba (coconut wine). Since I am Boholano and I know that I am in my territory – I joined them quickly. They were actually seven to ten in the group. Four of them are music lovers and so they borrowed my guitar.

A little bit of conversation. They are Barkada who came from Bohol and some were from Cebu – to celebrate their college graduation.  They are very interested to know my life in Manila since they haven’t been in Manila. We shared happy stories until we came up the idea of making cover songs.
