A&F Confidential

MY BPO JOURNEY

2023-10-11T12:55:00.005+08:00

Have you ever thought of working in the BPO industry? Well, I have a pretty interesting story to be told. I started working in the BPO Industry since 2008 out of curiosity. I always wonder how do they take calls, how they end up the shift laughing happily and i always thought " that could be me? Because it was really my dream job to work in the BPO even when I am still in College.

No wonder there are many people wanted to work in BPO (including me :-))) They offer a higher take-home pay, providing the best benefits like life insurance, health benefits, scholarship programs, family day, movie treats, 13th-month pay, and a lot more. Well all I can say having health insurance is a big deal. It allows you to get checkups without paying for them.

It was my first job as a call center agent at ACS of the Philippines. I've been connected for 5 years and then working on Upwork as a freelancer, then switched to IBEX and working at Local Government Unit at present.

The exciting part.. Exchange Gift!

So, being employed in a call center is not enough and it’s definitely not that I always want to do. Rest day is quiet a big deal for me since it shifts constantly. Instead with going out with friends or my family I, would spend the rest days sleeping and before i Knew it, it was time for shift to work again., My social life suffered as a result because I always worried for my sleep hours. Aside from that, I have so many ups and downs specially during the Covid era. It was required to get swab test on the first day of the week before you can start working, that upsets me.:-( and because of that, it motivates me to look for a change. I was looking for a day job and luckily found one though it was not really a high paying job but as long I got comfortable and doesn't worry much about sleep. My day job doesn't define me so neither yours.

ACS era

I start encouraging myself to find out what interests me and what can I eventually become. Continue learning and exploring helps me find out what's best for me. You too can do it!

Definitely, it was a pleasant experience, my first company, my first pay cheque. My first time living in the city.

For every debit, there must be a corresponding credit to balance life and I finally found my balance.

From a demotivated, sad, tired call center employee to a Goverment employee, this journey has taught me this: Explore, dream, and then explore some more, Dare to live the life you’ve always wanted.

Friendship is Love. Full stop!

2020-01-16T21:02:00.004+08:00

Having friends bring more joy into our lives. It has a large impact on your emotional, social and physical health.
The friends we make in an adulthood can form an important part individually. Good friends improve our over-all well being. You see, life gets a little more complicated when you're an adult. You should try to make a point of connecting with new people. I'm fortunate now to have a handful of women here I call friends even though we have just met. Oh no, how's that? Well, making new friends as a parent with other parents doesnt really depends on kids ages. (on my point of view) as you see, we have both the same, we have school kids. Simply because we have one thing in common, 'parenthood'. There's something about parenthood that tether us all together. The first thing I know is that when you first move to a new place everyone you meet is going to be a stranger. Just like Arkhin, T'was kinda struggle for me since arkhin had to cry a lot on his first day of school. I saw the loneliness on his eyes and yet he was struggling too when i dropped him off at school.It gives me calmness and I am happy that Arkhin meet his new friends and was not hesitant and shy at all.

Finding the time to meet new friends can be struggle i know because i was an introvert. I'm really not the best at socializing. (now you know, lol) You should make an effort to connect with other people. Whether your kids are little or big, you're new to a place or not, motherhood feels better with some close companions in our life. I am glad I found them, Meriam, t flor, t nelma, t hilda, t pabs and Jen. I am glad I met them. I may have only known them for a short time but I would honestly treasure our friendship. The one that bond us all together was the delicious palabok and special bihon of Jen. Hehe. Just know that no matter where we are or how far apart we may be, I will cherish our friendship. Thanks a lot for adding memories and times of happiness to my life.
Thanks for truckloads of good times.
See you around!

With love, respect and hopes for brighter future for us and for our kids!

Lovelots,

Fergei 😘

Arkhin at Kindergarten 1

2020-01-16T20:42:00.010+08:00

Summer has just started and few months later Arkhin will be in preschool. On his first day of school at kindergarten 1, He had really a hard time with the adjustment . Me and hubby drops him off to school around 8:30 in the morning and pick him around 11 am. He doesn't wanted me to go every time we dropped him at school and He is utterly exhausted and an emotional wreck by the time we get home. He's been very stressed out and edgy since school began and I worried he wouldn’t make friends right away or that the curriculum would be too hard for him.

It hit me recently when I came to pick up him at his K1 classroom. I looked around and took it all in—the centers filled with bins and categorized toys, the handmade art , the seasons and birthday calendars, the books and little tables and pint-sized chairs and all of the bold and vibrant colors and charts...
The class mostly focuses on reading, writing and math and other subjects like science and social studies, sariling wika are open on the blackboard learning. He was able to read and write and spelling number words. Reading only a few words like phrases and sentences. He also did great in addition and subtraction.
It feels like yesterday that his tiny fingers wrapped around mine and I couldn’t stop smelling his baby skin, Oh my God... I thanked GOD everyday for giving me this little boy.

Arkhin, Lian and Peter - The Achievers

His Achievements

Pinning of Ribbon (4th Honor)

We are the proud parents

Arkhin has always been on honor-roll and he is at 4th place out of 14.
Anyway, it's not for me, it's for him. He works hard and it's nice that the school can acknowledge that. So, I'm a proud parent because he's doing amazing! . I can’t tell you how proud I am that Arkhin has overcome another year as the new student at school and not only that, he’s thriving! he has so much more confidence now and he does not get bossed around by anyone. whooa! this kid is finally right where he’s supposed to be. He’s finally able to shine! ,Keep working hard and keep shooting for the stars because you will go far as long as you put in the effort. I love you and God Bless...

Lots of Love,

Puto Flan and Cupcakes with Buttercream frosting

2018-03-11T15:04:00.001+08:00

I’m sooo excited to try this recipe because my fb friend keep posting her puto flan recipe and it looks so delicious and I wanted to try it on myself so I did a small research about the ingredients and the procedure as well.

I have done leche flan before but this is different and also I was thinking to sell it to have some additional income. Yay!
Also my whole family loves puto so I tried puto flan for a change.

I sell it for 100 pesos for 12 pieces.... smiles:-)

I also just want to share my experience of finally impeding one of my biggest challenges...the frosting.

I am always amused by the thread on facebook about cupcakes with buttercream frosting. I followed and likes all cupcakes frosting pages on facebook and joined different groups because I wanted to learn on how to make a frosting.

Because it's Arkhin's birthday so I decided to make cupcakes with buttercream frosting.

and here it is...

These cupcakes have a rich chocolate flavor and vanilla top with buttercream frosting.

So deliciously delicious!

Puto Cheese Espesyal

2017-08-23T11:16:00.001+08:00

Cheese Overload

I love Puto but haven't tried making them though as in NEVER. But I think it's about time since my Husband and My Son also loves puto specially when it's flavored puto. I came across for the perfect recipe and glad my Mom handed me her old recipe book.
So no hassle.

This muffins are definitely a piece of cheesy and fluffy. I adjusted the measurement for each ingredients because I made 2 cups or 16 tablespoons of flour and since I don't have a measuring cup I converted it into tablespoons. In this recipe, I was using MILO one sachet for the Chocolate or Mocca tint. I couldn't find chocolate bar in our fridge so maybe next time.I was so glad I have found my hand mixer. It was a company Christmas give-away last year so t'was awesome!

My Husband and Son tried it and they said it was so yummy up to the last bite! :-)
If you have a steamer, you might want to try this one. It is so easy to follow.

Note: You can adjust the measurement depending on the quantity of the Puto you want to make.

The Amazing Waterfalls (Can-Umantad Falls)

2017-07-27T11:34:00.002+08:00

The Waterfalls

Suppaaah Dupaaah Coooollldddd !!!!

With Cousin aneish

Can-umantad Ricefields

It's a bit of schlep to reach the falls, you have to drive up an unsealed road to get to the village of Tambongan,Cadapdapan,Abilihan and #Can-umantad where the falls was located. The access road is rutted and extremely glassy when wet. It takes some 370-odd steps going down and a seeming eternity getting back up,but once you reach the falls, all is worthwhile. The waterfall is soooo beautiful, amazing, spectacular!

I live in Bohol for my entire life and without knowing that this is the best falls that I´ve ever seen.

XoXo :-)

Exciting Stuff: Baby Arkhin's first meal

2014-09-29T12:22:00.001+08:00

My baby starting moving on to solid when he was six months old. What made me felt excited was feeding him with those little spoon,pink lipped mouth covered with baby food and the happy giggles of my baby who loves cereals. I used to gave him cerelac mixed fruit and banana flavored.Yet, at first it was so hard to feed him because he used to oppose the food IDK if he likes the flavor or what. I had to called my hubby to performed a wiggle wiggle dance to let my baby focused and ate! Haha.

A 3 spoonful of cereal 3 times a day and a bottle of milk in between. I already changed his formula from S26 to S26 Gold and He loves it.

He said: "Look Mama, I'd wipe it out!"

God's Greatest Gift - MY SON

2014-05-18T23:08:00.001+08:00

My husband and I were so happy and excited when we found out we were having a baby boy.
When my husband and i were picking out boy names,He wants the idea of combining our names but we dont get any nice name combination. So since we also liked the idea of A and F which his name (hubby) starts with A and my name starts with F. So, we named our precious one, Arkhin Felippe.

The happiest and most exciting day of my life was when my son, Arkhin Felippe was born on March 5,2014, Ash Wednesday at 6:49AM at 2800g and 48cm in length! I'm giving birth through normal delivery at 38 weeks gestation.

I have been blessed with many happy moments in my lifetime.

My Son

My Husband

My Family

When my son was born, and the nurse show him to me,i cannot describe what i felt,but it was unforgettable. My son is my greatest accomplishment, my happiness and my life.This child have taught me much when it comes to life and love.

The innocent brightness of a new-born

There's nothing that brings me the greatest joy than seeing my son's face and holding him for the first time.

Thank you Lord for this gift,I will praise your forever!

xOxO,

Thank you GOD for all you have done. I truly appreciate everything...

2013-12-19T10:49:00.001+08:00

I am loss for words when it comes to acknowledging how great GOD is. Therefore, I will simply say, thank you dear GOD for all the good things you've given me. Thank you so much for sending me the most wonderful husband a woman can have. Yet, I was looking for a better man but YOU've given me the best. You graciously put him in my path. Just as you do dear GOD, he makes me feel so special and love me with everything. I feel so blessed knowing that from the beginning of creation, GOD knew that HE would create us for each other. Everyday is a dream come true. The reality that we have the kind of love that people all over the world dream of.

I know every marriage has its ups and downs but we already knew where to seek counsel and it takes two brave couple to keep their daily high and lows and have faith.

GOD, I can't thank you enough for this awesome man, specially when he used to do my toe nails ( haha! ) so sweet! that I can't imagine if there are any other man out there can do like this for their woman.

Thank you GOD for the fruit of my womb.

My life is so amazing knowing that I was now 7 months preggo. Thank you so much dear GOD for this new life within me. I was overwhelmed with joy and so my husband when I learned I was conceived and upon knowing we were having a baby boy. I just hope he is completely healthy inside and we love him dearly. Help me and my husband good LORD to raise our precious child to become a good christian and a follower.

Again, thank you GOD for leading me to my husband, for having a baby boy and everrrryttthingggg...... I pray that you will continue to bless our union.

Libra Male and Taurean Female Compatibility

2013-05-12T13:17:00.000+08:00

Compatibility is determined in astrology but I dont think it has anything to do with the signs.i think it always matter on the both of you.
Anyway, I am a taurean female and having a relationship with male Libra for 6 years and counting and are still going strong… From Libra’s charts and my astro chart, we’re destined to be in each other’s lives for a long time.whoaaa!..

But remember, a relationships should not be based on zodiac signs.but in some cultures almost everything is determined by the signs.it doesn't mean that you have the sign compatibility you have to run from a particular sign without getting to know them.
Signs are simply describes our personalities and who we are but it doesn’t determine the relationships we may or may not have.

A relationship should be based only if you like the person and how you get along with the person. My husband is a libra and im a taurean female and the sign says we’re not compatible well,I don’t really think that has much to do with anything at all.We fight sometimes, sometimes even alot. But that doesn’t matter because we want to be with each other no matter what any sign says. It doesn’t matter about zodiac,astrological or whatever signs. It’s about happiness.

He is a Libra and Im a taurean and we're married now and happily living together.

Relationship take hard work, honesty and dedication on both parties.

Intro:

Salamat sa Iyo
Aking Panginoong Hesus
Ako'y inibig mo
At inangking lubos

Koro:

Ang tanging alay ko
Sa Iyo aking Ama
Ang buong buhay ko
Puso at kaluluwa
Hindi makayanang maipagkaloob
Mamahaling hiyas o gintong sinukob
Ang tanging dalangin
O Diyos ay tanggapin
Ang tanging alay ko
Nawa ay gamitin
Ito lamang Ama wala nang iba pa
Akong hinihiling

Di ko akalain
Na ako ay 'Yong bigyang pansin
Ang taong tulad ko'y
Di dapat mahalin

(koro)

Aking hinihintay
Ang Iyong pagbabalik, Hesus
Ang makapiling Ka'y
Kagalakang lubos

Di dapat mahalin

Use of A and AN

2013-02-20T17:45:00.003+08:00

How many of you today are still confused of using "A" and "AN" in a sentence?

I'd still remembered, I was on a jeepney way back home when i heard this two ladies and they're arguing on on how to use "A" and "AN" in a sentence,the feeling when you heard them arguing and you knew they are X.
As i've noticed,they're both working in a call center company as what i read on their id's position is "customer service representative" and the company name is "----", closed to the company where i worked before, but imagined,how could they get the job but still didn't know how to used A and AN.These were probably taught at school.I remember i've learned it from school when i was in grade school, i think.
But whatever it is! As what i've learned from school "an" is used before any word beginning with a vowel, and "a" is used before any word beginning with a consonant.

I really couldn't imagine any blog post today so I was very glad to meet them!:-)
It's nice to finally make some sense out of it all.

Have a good day!

GiGanTic Banana

When i got this MAC palette,it interests me a lot to make over myself...
I live one beautiful quote everyday...
"The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy."

now im in the process of learning..I beleive that learning is a skill that must be honed by leaning. I want to learn on how to apply a base eye shadow and accent color and to do a perfect shading using the brushes.This is why i'il gonna watch youtube because there are tons of beauty gurus who discuss ways to wear make up.

Whoooaaa!!! Goodluck to me! Wish I could learn more about this stuff..
Ohh..La..La.. :-)

P.S: I'm sorry about the pictures,its kinda blurry..i'm only using my telpad with 3.2MP..#HAHA [louy raman:(]..will save money for the Nikon Digital SLR Camera D5200..nah!.....SOON!..........

I am Certified Mrs.

2012-11-29T11:08:00.002+08:00

I just got married last month and am in the process of changing my name. When we got married, it didn't even occur to me to change my name. Alfhatz's last name is Kaderon, but I want to kept Asbhy.I like my last name, it's very uncommon hehe, so I think I might keep it.
But due to the widespread tradition of changing the last name after marriage so i did! and my hubby initially remarked that I should take his name. I also love the idea of hyphenating our names and giving our future kids hyphenated last names,so it would be Asbhy-Kaderon..hmmm...what do you think? nah! i think that just too much.
Now,I took my husband's last name, but loved my maiden name so much [asbhy] that I made it my middle name. So I'm now Fergei Asbhy Kaderon.it's kinda fun to be a Mrs.hahah!:)

Home-made Simple Wedding Invitations

2012-11-15T09:37:00.001+08:00

Planning the perfect wedding invitation can be exciting though stressful because we both dont have any idea on how to made this.But my hubby is a sort of creative genius.HE managed to make our ideas reality,because in fact i really dont have any idea when it comes to creativity and designing haha lols. One of the first things I knew we’d have to include in the invitations is the details.Another idea I had is to include the RSVP on the bottom of the invitation so that we would knew the return response as to whether or not the receiver will be attending our function.We invited 100 people, and 70 were able to attend our wedding.

The first thing..all you need is a scissor,a glue stick and a pencil

Hubby's tried to cut the edge so that it would look fine

The wordings

charrrran...invitations ready!

The invitations are now ready to be given out!

So,thats it! Somehow,we saved quite a bit of money by making homemade wedding invitations.

The Day We Became ONE

2012-11-13T20:24:00.001+08:00

After plannning & canceling i dont know how many times! we finally did it! Since we both came from a different religion so we have decided to have only a civil wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and incredibly meaningful to both of us. Acknowledging our love and committing ourselves to each other for life, in front of some of the most important people in our lives had a profound spiritual and emotional impact on both of us. wew! being married is amazing and feels different, in the very best of ways! WOW just wow..after 6 years of being together we finally got married.Keeping faith in trials,temptation and tough times isn't easy but now we still have each other. We laugh together, we care for each other & We're still here,still In-love and finally we are one! October 27, 2012 a memorable date for both of us.

As the Ceremony Started
