My AT&T Friends

I missed my days working at AT&T. I was in a very small group composed of system testers, an integration manager, an office manager and business processing analysts. We were a total of 13 initially but there were resignations and new hires from time to time. During my stay for about 1 1/2 years I became close to 2 colleagues Ton and Robert. We were almost inseparable. We would eat dinner, lunch or snacks together. Since we are working hand in hand with the company laboratory in the US, if someone would sometimes be required to do night shifts the other two would most often change shift as well. It was a very solid group through thick and thin.

It was late 2007 when Ton got a good offer from another company that we all thought could be an advancement because the company offers training new technologies. The following year, I got my Canadian VISA so I had to leave on the company. Only Robert stayed and the three of just communicate by chat or e-mails from time to time. I just realized we have no photo wherein the 3 of us are together (Does that mean we are not really a solid group? Joke Only!) so, I just uploaded the company logo.

Last week I got an e-mail from Ton that she was rehired by AT&T. For some reasons she decided to go back as the company she transferred is not as good as she thought it was. So now they are working together again. I do miss the group and how I wish I could also go back to join them. I guess I can only meet with them when I get a chance to fly back home. I hope it will be soon.

Take care my friends.

Warning for Milk Lovers! Contaminated Milk

This has been printed on paper and heard on the radio. Maybe you already know the latest news about the contaminated dairy/milk products from China. I though I'd share this so others may know. The contaminated milk is very harmful to humans especially to babies if consumed, so be diligent in reading labels before buying products look at the manufacturer's label. but of course we should not limit reading labels on these products, it should be our habit to check labels of everything we buy specially the expiration dates.

Pay per Click Sites

More and more people are getting into these PPC or PTC racket. Pay per click (PPC) is defined in Wikipedia as "an internet advertising model used on search engines, advertising networks, and content websites, such as blogs, where advertisers only pay when a user actually clicks on an advertisement to visit the advertisers' website."
When one reads about testimonies of members getting paid x amount monthly just makes you very interested and eager to join so you could earn extra bucks. But how easily can one earn in reality. I have received referral and invites from some of my friends so I joined some of the so called PTC sites. It was very easy to join. I created an e-mail address specifically for this and started registering. I noticed that you do accumulate points/credits/money by clicking on advertisements and participating in discussions. The question is do we get paid when we reach the minimum payout that is indicated in the sites terms of service. Most of them will pay from 1 to 1 1/2 months after every month and I am yet to receive payments from some of them. So far I have only confirmed that myLot really pay you what you have earned.


I am listing the links below for those who are interested in joining or plainly curious and would like to read more about it:

Stamp Collecting

I am now employed with a company that receives hundreds of mails a day. Most of the mails that we receive have postage stamps on it. I started to collect stamps almost 10 years ago, thanks to my late Godmother gave me some of her duplicate stamps. It encouraged me to start keeping them and put them in a binder. I left my collection in the Philippines and almost forgot about it. It is only now that I am excited once again to go back to collecting stamps because I am in a position to collect more. I hope I get a chance to get the binder I left and put them all together.

Our Nikon D40X

I enjoy taking pictures whenever we go visit different places. We would never leave the house during weekends without bringing a camera. We have a Sony T7 point and shoot camera that we have used for almost 2 years now. It was very light and compact. It was very handy and we were satisfied with the quality of photos that it captures. But that was when we were taking pictures of still subjects. When we were into shooting moving objects, we were dismayed on the speed of the camera. Although you can make adjustment so that you can capture the moving subject, most of the time the picture is out of focus. Thanks to my lovely and generous wife we now own a Nikon D40x, a digital SLR. She said it was as her gift for me. It is not the top of the line but will be enough for beginners like me. Now I am able to take pictures of fast moving subjects and still get it focused. It however cannot take videos only still pictures. My problem now is how to learn and use all the features of the camera and the proper handling as well as you may notice in the picture below that I was not holding it properly.
