The House Of Puroy Enterprises

We went to PNB (Philippine National Bank) today to open accounts. My sister in Canada who’s helping me migrate there is sending money for me to use in the processing of my papers. Unfortunately, her choice of bank is PNB. Why unfortunately? You’ll see why as you read on.

We came at around 12:00 noon, there were few clients, so I guess we would have no problem. We will be opening two types of accounts - a regular savings account with passbook and a time deposit account. As we approached the counters and inquired, we’re fortunate to approach the right person to open our time deposit. For the regular savings account however, we were told to approach another clerk!

After my experiment with the mobile banking, I again set to embark on another technology available on my mobile phone. This time I tried to explore G-Cash. Maybe for those who have been using it for quite some time now, this isn’t so much a biggie. But for someone like me who’s use to doing things the traditional way, things like this could be so overwhelming.

I actually have enrolled to G-Cash even before I enrolled to mobile banking, but it is syntax driven. You have to memorize syntax and manually type them on your cellphone before sending them. But when I downloaded the menu for the mobile banking, I found out that there is also a menu for G-Cash that I can download. Cool!

I just registered my cellphone for BPI Mobile Banking, finally after years of seeking information on how this thing work. Bank branch personnels I have asked before are clueless about this and their customer service hotline gives too much a mouthful that you’ll definitely be lost along the way.

But I have been doing online banking for years now, so I guess informations must also be available on their website. So I browsed their site and found the informations I needed to register for this mobile banking. Registered my cellphone and account number and tried to give it a dry run while I still have a small balance in my account.

Last Monday, May 19, we were at the National Bookstore in SM-Clark to buy some school supplies for this coming school year. Angel, my 10-year old daughter made sure to bring the Safeguard soap boxes to avail of discounts at the store - as the advertisement in the TV show. When we were paying our purchases which amount to over a hundred pesos, my daughter brought out the boxes. But the cashier told us that there is a minimum of P500 cash purchases before the discounts can be claimed.

Quite absurd and I must say, totally ridiculous because the TV commercial didn’t mention anything about the minimum purchase required. Seems to be that this the new trend in the promos now. Not divulging all the necessary information so customers won’t be able to avail of it. A way by companies to technically shortchanged the consumers.

10 of what? This post, for whatever subject it would dwell in, would make the 10th post. The required number of posts in a blog for an opportunity to earn thru blogging. Pathetic isn’t it?… Unfortunately, I would agree.

Oppotunities to earn in blogging abound… or so they say. With thousands of testimonies and blogs about earning thru blogs. Some even made a career out of it, earning thousands - in dollars even! So following their lead, I clicked a widget in one of the blogs I encountered. An opportunity to earn by blogging… I’m a blogger, I could do this!

Last Sunday, May 11, 2008, after I brought my son for a check up at AUF Medical Center, we went inside the Jollibee store just right beside the hospital. Perhaps because of the time, around 2:00PM, there weren’t any customers aside from a family eating on one of the table. Quite surprising because the Jollibee’s I’ve seen never experienced this.

Anyway, I went straight to the counter to order our food - one Yum with TLC meal and one jolly hotdog meal, both upsize on fries and drinks. And I was told that the burger and hotdog would just be delivered to our table (did I say there weren’t any other customers?) So my son and I and just sat at a table right beside a wall. While waiting for our sandwhiches and eating our fries, I noticed a poster on on the wall beside us. It was Jollibee’s 30th anniversary and the poster says that for every P130.00 food purchase entitles the customer to a free Jollibee food item or a discount coupon. And that the prize will be randomly chosen by their computers and printed together with the receipt. I don’t have our receipt with us yet as it will be delivered together with our sandwhiches, but I’m sure it’s worth P168.00 so it should qualify.

They say, “when you have hope, you have everything”, I would like to believe that. Hope is a very positive word, and I believe that it is almost synonymous with faith, for you can only hold on to hope if you have faith.

But hope, it all its positivity still remains to be a very passive word. It is reactive rather than pro-active. For hope awaits for things to turn out better.

Why then am I saying this when HOPE is exactly the acronym of my business name? Because, hope was something that I was holding on all these years, and although my faith gets shaken every now and then, I tried to hang on…. hoping things will turn out right… I thought that was all there is to it.
