Get Hired and Win an Apple iPad

While riding an FX going to a mall a few weeks ago, I overheard a college student (maybe from CEU based on her uniform) saying to her schoolmate, "Pagka-graduate ko, hanap agad ng trabaho para may pambili ng iPad."

Then, she laughed in a sarcastic way. I don't know if she's laughing because she fears having hard time looking for a job or owning an iPad.

I hope she can read this because she might actually hit two birds in one stone via Convergys' Online Job Fair. All she needs to do is register and viola, she gets a chance to win an iPad by just participating. The cyber event is happening until September 11, 2010.

But in case you're not into online job fairs and stuff and want to apply at Convergys tha old school way. You can download an application by clicking HERE.

Applicants will be prompted to include the URL where they saw this job post, so kindly indicate mapanghingikaba.blogspot.com.

To that hopeful CEU stude and to all job seekers, good luck in job hunting and hope you win an Apple iPad.

Win autographed copy of "Pacific Rims" by Rafe Bartholomew

For me, basketball is the next best thing discovered by man next to television.

My first toy was a plastic basketball worth Php 5.  I was rushed for treatments twice after sustaining broken limbs in separate incidents playing basketball but never regretted both accidents.  I still look up to Sen. Robert Jaworski Sr.  My well-kept treasure is my Charles Barkley collection and I even named my son after this NBA hall-of-famer.

To say that I am a basketball fan is an understatement.  I lost count of how many family events, meet-ups with friends and even dates with my then-GF now my wife Leah I skipped just to stay home and watch an important basketball game on TV--- UAAP, PBA, NBA... name it.  I have marked them in red on my calendar.

This may sound a little exaggerated but you can go and ask my wife.

Anyways, enough of this lengthy introduction for a promo being conducted by National Bookstore FB fan page.  Here's what they posted in their page:

Send us any basketball themed photo of yourself or a loved one for a chance to get an autographed copy of "Pacific Rims" by Rafe Bartholomew! The top 3 photos with the most "likes" by the end of the voting period and 2 "NBS Choice" entries will win!

Rafe is an American author who stayed in the Philippine just to write about Filipinos fascination with the game of basketball.  Just a little trivia.  He acted as one of the American who Sunshine Dizon forced to be the father of her child in GMA 7's Bakekang.
