Why The Last of Us Will Never Die?

CALIFORNIA, United States - What does it feel like to be in a Zombie apocalypse? Rather, what will it be like when the world ends? We will never know exactly how this world ends, but thank technology, we can now see a possible glimpse of that terror with our very own eyes -- I am talking about video games.
The Last of Us' Ellie and Joel
Post-apocalyptic themes are not uncommon. They were always the most favorite themes of top selling movies, video games and TV shows. And the latest, after The Walking Dead, that captured my attention is Naughty Dog's The Last of Us. In fact, I bought a Playstation 3 just to experience this work of wonder. A perfect combination of how relationships are crucial part of survival.


The Last of Us is not your ordinary 3rd person shooter game with zombies. It's more than that. And you will never know how good this game is until you play it.

Lazada Online Shopping Review

QUEZON CITY, Philippines - Ever heard of Lazada? From the way it sounds, more like a law firm. But no it's not. Lazada.com.ph is bringing online shopping to us, the Filipinos. All you have to do is to go to the website, order, and wait for it to be delivered right to your doorstep.
Lazada's logo is a shopping cart
 with (seems like) flying soap bars above it.

Lazada according to them is the Philippines’ number one online shopping site. Lazada boasts their offering of a wide array of products and provides convenient online shopping experience with its nationwide shipping, warranties, 14-day returns policy, and easy payment options. Lazada says that consumers can shop anytime and anywhere for books, electronics, phones & accessories, computers, home & living, hardware, home appliances, toys, kids & babies, travel and luggage, beauty, jewelry & watches, fashion, and sports.

I was actually excited to try online shopping although it's not the first time I've purchased something that was delivered to me. I always find it hassle-free to have anything delivered to you (except death threats -- nobody likes that)! A few years back, the only things we could have delivered to our doorsteps were imported goods from international sellers and they took ages to reach us! But thanks to this, from how I call it, Lazada-trend, we could now buy ordinary items without going to the shopping mall!

Right to review? I am a customer. Three things I ordered so far: a pair of Grosby sneakers, a Sony LiveView watch, and a Samsung 32MB memory card. Legit now? Let's rate Lazada!

Samsung Galaxy S5 Thoughts

MANILA, Philippines - Samsung Galaxy S5 is here! And all I can say is "Wooow!" Samsung is really giving Apple a run for its money!

The Samsung website specifically for S5 is up.. Now, the biggest question is.. How much will it be in the Philippines? Or when exactly will it be out? Pretty sure it's reasonable - seeing how special this phone is.
Samsung S5 as advertised -- very band-aidy.

Is it a phone that we must have as a sort of a"permanent phone?" Well I was thinking that way when I got my S3.. I was like "it will be a top phone after 3 years." But I was completely wrong. It's amazing how technology updgrades in just a span of a year or two. Can't imagine how good a Samsung S15 will be or Apple iPhone 13S.

Choosing A Call Center to Work With in The Philippines

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippines' call center industry is undoubtedly a massive money maker for the benefit of the economy -- with that, we are talking about billions of dollars. A growing industry means options, and with options, we are talking about really good options. There are probably call centers in every city in the Philippines, thank Filipinos for having English as an official language. Sadly, there are many agents who are called hoppers -- employees who resign to apply to another call center. For what reason? I don't freaking know exactly why.

I know I am not a call center expert. I haven't even in this industry for more than two years, but I am an observer. Luckily I got out of being an agent on my 365th day (thanks promotion.) By doing that, I was able to see a lot of possibilities and trends; and even the bad and the ugly.

Call centers are not temporary jobs. They are not there for the new grads to feast on and later forget because of a "better career opportunity." It's actually a great way to grow and start a career. And many do not understand this just because call center agents are usually stereotyped as how they are being stereotyped by the public. You know what I am talking about, don't you? But trust me, it's not an easy job. It never was. It's not as easy as it is. It's a network of the corporate world plus the manpower all in - working like a jetplane's engine.

Call centers are not "a boss and employees" type of company. It consists of departments with amazing expertise of their own. You'll be amazed as how intelligent the call center people are.

So, let's get going.. what are the factors to consider to find the right call center spot? IF you want to grow with the company.
