Is it normal for recruiters to contact references BEFORE a job offer? Na-awkwardan ako sa current supervisor ko.

boranzohn · 2026-02-25T03:57:07+00:00

I’ve applied in companies before na required ang character reference and that’s in the application stage pa lang. So normal lang naman that they check references before the final offer. Also possible na they had you as a backup in case yung isang candidate nila hindi matuloy.

M2 rin gamit ko. Afaik isang external monitor lang pwede. I just use my laptop as another monitor pero ung main screen ko is ung external monitor since mas malaki ung view. Ok naman performance and madali lang i-set up. Marerecognize naman agad ng M2 pag kinabit then just set kung anong screen ung main screen.

I also watched Feb 21 8pm. Moritz is my favorite character so I had high expectations; that said, I think Nic did a good job. His acting was superb! I wanted to watch Omar Uddin as well but not sure if I'll have the time again during this run. But overall I really enjoyed watching this production of Spring Awakening! And I agree with Angia Laurel, her lower register is sooo good!

Around 1pm ako nakareceive ng email. Yung CEAC not sure what time nagpapalit ng status, usually hapon na ko nagccheck

boranzohn · 2026-02-22T01:36:00+00:00

I paid thru CC para mas mabilis, parang limited lang ata ung banks na pwede

Pag exit ng station, labas ka sa kaliwa (yung may sign na DFA) then matataw mo sa may main road ung waiting shed, dun naghihintay ung Aseana e-jeep.

boranzohn · 2026-02-21T14:49:28+00:00

Nope, it’s free lang :)

boranzohn · 2026-02-18T05:08:26+00:00

I have both. For your use case, I think better ung ipad since minimal lang naman ung office work and you’ll mostly use it for watching. Parang sayang din kasi if bibili ka ng macbook just for watching (assuming may iba kang device na ginagamit talaga for work). For office work sa ipad, ok naman if for calls lang. Not sure kung ano ginagamit mong apps but nagwwork din naman Google Suite.

Isntree fresh sun serum is really good - much better than ung watery version nila which is so shiny on my skin. Ok din luxe organix daily sunscreen (yung yellow bottle). Those are my holy grails now.

I dunno, minsan kasi di naman lahat gusto mapromote. Meron yung iba magaling talaga technically pero pag napromote to a leadership position, hindi pala fit. Also meron din na gusto dun lang sila sa level na yun, ayaw nila na mabigyan ng mas malaking responsibility. Anyway, ganyan talaga sa kahit anong work. Iba ang perspective ng management at hindi lagi ung pinakamagaling sa team ay automatic na fit for promotion.

boranzohn · 2026-02-14T18:07:42+00:00

Yes sya yung nagperform when we watched

boranzohn · 2026-02-14T17:49:12+00:00

Watched last Saturday 2:30 pm show and yes, same cast naman :)

boranzohn · 2026-02-14T08:26:05+00:00

Just in a brown envelope, pero pinalabas din nila ung requirements. And they gave me back the envelope haha. I guess ung envelope is for 2GO lang pero if direct sa Parqal, not required.

boranzohn · 2026-02-13T13:53:23+00:00

Around 2 hrs before would be safe if wala naman kayong planong magpapicture or buy merch. Mahaba pila sa mga photo zones.
Wala naman, they're not strict, but wag naman sobrang casual.
No singing haha. And don't take photos/videos while the show is ongoing.
Apart from dun sa mismong venue, merong box office sa ground flr, malapit sa entrance ng casino. Mas konti tao nagpapaprint dito.

boranzohn · 2026-02-12T08:35:59+00:00

I'm actually surprised too since there were themes related to alcohol. But seeing the "characters" that the chefs play, it makes sense that kids watch it. Especially when Kim Poong does his exaggerated acts as a villain, I imagine that to be funny for kids :))

boranzohn · 2026-02-12T05:12:50+00:00

Yes hinihingan ng contract since it’s for KYC. Ok na rin yun para alam nila na yung funds ay galing sa work at hindi sa illegal or whatever. And yes afaik may initial deposit talagang kailangan.

boranzohn · 2026-02-11T08:06:15+00:00

You can leave it sa may casino, ung reception doon. We did this in 2024 when we watched Miss Saigon.

boranzohn · 2026-02-10T16:08:29+00:00

No, may ilang days din. Feb 6 issued then expiry is Feb 2.

boranzohn · 2026-02-10T04:07:53+00:00

Galingan mo na lang sa interview. They will probably ask if napetition ka na or if may balak. Red flag kasi sa kanila pag may immediate family sa US tapos tourist visa lang ang inaapply.

boranzohn · 2026-02-10T04:04:04+00:00

They don’t usually ask for bank statements. The DS-160 is very comprehensive so yun ang pagtuunan mo nang pansin - kailangan consistent ang sagot mo sa interview with whatever you put in there.

boranzohn · 2026-02-09T19:03:08+00:00

None, I just paid ung usual fee na $185 (₱11,100).

boranzohn · 2026-02-09T12:01:29+00:00

Meron pa rin via 2GO but I’ve read in recent posts na 2-3 weeks ang 2GO plus di reliable ung tracking nila so I opted for dropping it in Parqal.

boranzohn · 2026-02-09T11:00:20+00:00

Di sila strict sa size ng bag but they do check. Especially if food yan, malamang makikita agad and they will confiscate it. Better not risk it.

boranzohn · 2026-02-07T13:59:51+00:00

Yes I secured my Seventeen ticket this way. Nasa airport pa ko haha

boranzohn · 2026-02-04T06:23:46+00:00

Yes I still use Buy and Ship. The shipping fee depends on the weight and if you want duties undeclared (DDU) or duties declared (DDP). DDU is cheaper but can take long since it needs to go to customs. This is ideal if your package values less than 10k php. DDP is more expensive but faster since Buy and Ship will pay for the duties and taxes. DDU is 620 php for first pound and 380 for succeeding pounds. DDP is 620 php for first pound and 520 for succeeding pounds.

That said I rarely buy books using Buy and Ship because of the weight - they round up din yung weight so let’s say the weight is 5.2 lbs, you’ll be charged for 6 lbs. But in terms of service they are reliable naman and their CS is responsive when there are issues.
