ENTRY #79: Life of a Working Man
A week after my board exams, I felt like a pure leech--bum and so dependent. Parang nakonsensiya ako kasi wala akong ginagawa. Kain, tulog, computer, nood ng tv. So idle and unproductive... Kaya naisipan kong maghanap ng work.
Good thing, my friend knows many jobs to apply, or at least, things to work on. The first thing she introduced to me was network marketing.
At first, she didn't expose it at all. Ayaw nya sabihing networking yun; kasi nga naman, ampangit ng connotation dito sa Pinas. Most networking companies decline after 5 years in their business. Pano ba naman, wala silang product movement. And as far as I know, marami sa kanila yung scam--with all that registration fee and stuff. I asked so much questions sa friend ko. Napilitan siyang i-spill na networking nga yung pinasok nya, and she was inviting me.
Nung una, ayoko. Why? Networking eh. For some reason, ayoko talaga. Mahirap magtrabaho sa isang networking business, di ba? Pero she was insisted to have me visit the company, so I agreed. It wouldn't hurt to visit anyway. I can say no anytime, right?
So yun. We met in HSBC building along Ayala Avenue. One amazing trivia about it is that it is the most expensive office space in the Philippines. Impressive for a networking company. Alam ko kasi, usually, they are around Ortigas.
The name of the company was USANA Health Sciences. Products nila, multivitamins. Nung una, sabi ko, so what? Haha! Andaming networking companies na nagbebenta ng ganyang products. Well, what was different with them is that they were branded as the "Best of the Best" by a research done of the Canadian Ministry of Health.
And one thing that made them different from the rest is that they had a patented structure of networking. So it means, sila lang ang merong ganun. I think they attribute their success over the past 17 years to their structure.
Kaya ayun, napasali na rin ako. The company looks good and trusted eh. Hahaha!
And isa pa, I'm itching to earn dollars over the month. Hahaha! (Oh yeah! Dollars, men!)
