new work, new life

I've recently resigned from work where I've been employed from more than 6 years. It was difficult at first but the Lord has realy planned everything out for me. Amazingly, my boss let me off really well. I will miss the people and the work itself but definitely not the pay. I've had some personal bouts with our finances especially after my youngest was born. And with my past work, our expenses and income just don't seem to meet. Apart from this, there were many other things that made me decide to finally move on.
But all that is now in the past. As a human, I still have some regrets. Regret that it took me so long to move on and let go. Regret that I have been so gullible But as a Christian, I believe that all of these happened for a reason. During my stay there, I've been able to lead at least 10 people towards accepting Christ as their Lord and saviour when I conducted the "End of Times" series in the office. My co-workers were also witnesses to my tranformation from an angry and arrogant tyrant to God's lowly servant. Indeed, no work of God has been in vain.
As I pray hard for the Lord to lead me towards greener pastures, He let me see my affliction as a preparation for greater and better things for me and my family.
And alas, the Lord is great and He truly is faithful to those who trust in Him alone. He blessed me with a new job and a potentially fulfilling one at that. And more importantly, He presented an opportunity for me to work for Him. Suprisingly, 2 of my batchmates were also churchworkers of CCF and one of them needed help for a research she was doing for the church.
Isn't it amazing how the Lord works? To this day, He continues to guard my heart despite the painful attrition that I had to endure during my last months of stay in my previous company. He calmed me down and told me every single time to be still and have faith. I surrendered, I believed and thus I persevered. And Through Him indeed nothing is ever impossible. Amen

My metrobank was hacked and my reserve claim was denied!

I could not believe my eyes! My request for dispute has been denied! To make the long story short, about a month ago, my metrobank account was hacked, I have been a victim of a phising scam yes but one that was brought about by a text coming from Metrobank's official SMS number. This was the same number that texts me for updates and posted about my transactions and OTPs! I would have no reason not to trust it because the sms came from their official system. Assuming this, I calmly requested for reversal and waited patiently for the decision, only to find out that they denied my claim! How can they be so cruel and heartless! But alas they are, they really are. All I can do now is to warn as many people as I can about what happened to me because Metrobank is a callous heartless bank who would not care if your money got stolen from their bank. No to Metrobank! If I were you, leave this bank now. Pull out your money and put it somewhere safe. Beware of of Metrobank!

How knowing SEO changed my career path

It's been more than a year since I took the SEO specialization course from Coursera given by UC Davis Extension program. And boy is it a great pivoting experience so far.  As one who have been in the practice of market research for more than 20 years, venturing into a totally new field is not only nerve-wracking but also defining.  It changed my career path unexpectedly even at age 40.   It was also last year that I have concurrently been assigned as Head of SEO/SEM for the entire conglomerate.  And because of that, I have been able to practice SEO not only with one website but with 12.  One year later, I've seen these websites grow impressions by 1k% and traffic by 500% because of organic and local SEO.  It actually surprised me how powerful SEO really is in achieving traffic goals which will help you eventually grow leads. We now have a steadily increasing number of leads across the 12 brands.  But recently I have been trying to assess if I were...

Balik Probinsya Program: Preparing for the new normal

Vista Land supports the Balik Probinsya program by offering several affordable house and lot packages in hundreds of locations nationwide. The government recently extended the ECQ in Metro Manila and critical areas of the country to May 15, 2020.  While the rest of the world continue to battle the dreaded virus, PH has more worries ahead.  the economy is on the brink of collapsing and people's lives are also on hold because of fear and  uncertainty.  The different Department of the government each has its own contribution to the Task Force that is helping each other to solve the crisis.  But left out in the picture at least for now are the economists that would like to push for more detailed plans on how to revive the economy after the COVID crisis. DOH on the other hand is still on the limelight sharing it with the DSWD in making sure that the spread is controlled and that people would have food on their plates everyday. Short term stops are on its way ...
