Korean food at SM City Lipa




Just arrived from SM City Lipa now. I am very grateful that these Korean food are available at the supermarket. However, the price is doubled compared to that in Baguio City. An old adage says "It's better than nothing." I can now survive in the city...I want to buy some more, but it's quite expensive....

Online Job


Online job...home-based online job...search this in www.google.com or youtube.com, you will definitely get thousands of result. Many people like me who has plenty of time at home wanted to use their free time productively. My interest to home-based online job has started when I saw this news on TV about odesk. Without any hesitation, I opened their website

and I found out that there are lots of job offers. Most of them are internet-related job like transcriber, SEO, web programmer, blog developer, and many other terms that are not familiar to me. Before I applied to one of the job offers, I have had to explore that site and be vigilant since not everything on the internet is credible. After reading the terms and regulations of the site, I finally have learnt that it is not a scam. Since I am an online tutor, I applied as a tutor to a Japanese-based online center. I was a little flattered because they were very specific with the right person they are looking for. They have emphasized that they wanted to work with Filipino teachers who has neutral English, which means that they are grammatically correct with very good pronunciation--not slang nor with regional defects. After a few minute of passing my cover letter, I immediately got a respond from the agent. We exchanged skype accounts, and talked about the nature of the work. She asked me about my qualifications and experiences related to the job that I am applying for. After telling her all my qualifications and experiences, she got interested in my service. Everything has been settled. And then, few minutes before we close the deal, I bravely asked her about their rate..wow, it was very surprising! Now, I know the reason why they were looking for Filipino teachers. She is offering $1/25 minutes! One dollar?! That is only 45php! How much is the internet rental? How about the electricity? They are degrading the quality of education that the Filipino teachers can give! Knowing that Filipino is very well-known for having a good English skill, being patient! There is this Filipino adage that says, "Ang taong gipit, kahit sa patalim kumakapit." But not me! I told the Japanese agent that I can't take the job if that's the highest rate they can give. She asked me how much my rate is. I told her that my salary 100php/25 minutes(kahit 60 lang)..If she could pay me 100php for 25 minutes, I will absolutely take the job. However, she told me that it is even higher than the salary of her manager. What the f***! Though we didn't have a deal on the salary, I still show her my being professional. I said sorry, I can't take the job. Thank you for your time any ways. See, they thought they can use every Filipino for their own benefits! We have studied hard for 5 years! We had to burn our eyelids to pass every examination! Our parents had to suffer in the farm just to give us the education that we needed. Yet these foreigners would just benefit from us? I am glad that I have a Korean agent who is very honest and loyal to her tutors. Sometimes, students are absent, but the agent have had to sacrifice her own money to pay the tutors..

Any ways, after having an extensive research about online job, I have signed up to some website that offers home-based online job. I have been doing this for a week already. Unfortunately, I have not found any decent job yet! Some says that they accept newbie. I was idiot that I applied and got the job. It sounds like I have to turn the mango into watermelon before I can get paid. It is very impossible to be successful in an online job! Some offers networking (mostly Filipinos); get at least 1000 like within two days! Oh my electric fan, that's impossible! And know how much the pay is? $.50 US dollar or 22php! You will beg other people to visit the URL you sent and ask them to hit like?! What if that person doesn't really like the video? You are just putting yourself on shame! As I have searched further about this online job, I have found out that many really became successful with the job. These people who became really successful started their online job in 1980s.I was not yet born by then...It's credible because during those times, only few people can have an online job since only few can afford to get their own computer and internet connection at home. Just think about the development of the technology now. Out of 10 houses in the Philippines, 3 houses have their own computer and internet connection. There's a high competition in this industry nowadays. No wonder why professional online workers discourage newbies to apply in this kind of job. They are probably right especially if you didn't finish college. And, if you’re major is not related to technology.

For this time, I'd rather concentrate on my current job--online tutor to Korean students! So far, I am not having a problem with my pay at all. I am paid decently; sometimes I even get a bonus from my agent and from some students. My Korean agent gave me 3000php when I was hospitalized, and my other student gave me 10 000 won...Not bragging, just want to share that I am very glad that I have a fabulous agent and wonderful students!

Craving for Korean Food! batangas city







I am craving for Korean food! Anyone from the city who can introduce Korean grocery store or restaurant? I am an online tutor for Korean students. I have lived in Baguio City for like 9 years, so I didn't have any problem with Korean food. I can just eat Korean delicacies whenever I want to as there are bunch of Korean stores and restaurants everywhere. However, when I migrated here in Batangas City, I abruptly missing Korean cuisine! I plan to go back to Baguio City just to buy Korean food which will take 10 hours trip by bus...

Sounds tiring, right? But, I won't regret going to Baguio City just for Korean food...I am dying for not eating Korean food....Please leave a comment if you can recommend any Korean food in BAtangas City...Thanks so much!!

Perfect Couple!!



One of my Korean students, Betty, has shared some of her photos with her boyfriend during their date somewhere in Korea.
I asked her a permission if I could possibly post them in my blog...Fortunately, she agreed!





Very clear water! Wonderful, isn't it? According to her, they were catching small fish in this body of water. I thought this is a man-made lake, but to my surprise, she said that this is a natural lake!
I wonder if there are still lakes as clear as this that can be seen here in the Philippines...





That's gorgeous Betty with her handsome boyfriend...By the way, Betty is one of the students that I have been teaching for a long period of time...


That's Betty driving her brand new car. She bought it because she needs it to her job. And I guess, she has already earned a lot of money so she can afford to get her own car...
Hmmm, I wonder for the name of her car. I will be meeting her tonight, so perhaps I will ask her...
