uno

there's this game application in Facebook that i occasionally play. however, i now usually play Pet Society and Texas Hold 'Em Poker. they're even more entertaining and fun.

Uno is a card game. i won't tell anymore how it's played 'cause it's not the reason why I write about it now. i can tell you, however, that unlike other card games that use typical casino and gambling cards, this one just for fun.

another Uno caught my attention last 4 July. a former high school buddy contacted me about this part-time job. at first he said it's about sales, i as a sales assistant. guess i have to try it since i am unemployed for about three months now. we agreed to meet at The Podium near SM Megamall. he took me to this small 'headquarters' (that's how they call it) across the street about hundred steps away from The Podium. the place was like a beehive, young people swarmed the place. you'll think it's a cinema and people were in for a premiere night. i really have no idea what the place was, i still thought i'll be applying for a sales job.

Loui, the buddy, led me inside the jam-packed quarters. then i saw many videos of people holding checks and bundles of cash speaking in front of a camera declaring how they got money-ful in less than a month. right then and there i realised i was led to a networking gimmick, like Powerhomes where my mother worked a long time ago and was promised to be rich in just two or three ways like a snap. with due respect to Loui, i decided to be open-minded and tried to see for myself how this networking's done.

in fairness to the orientation done by the speaker, he explained well how things work in their company enough to get me signed up and be one of them in no time. i tried being open-minded as i could and i think played the part, but i still had doubts. in order to be an UNO member you have to cash out a P 7,300 'investment' to get started. though, honestly, i was in with the idea of joining but the thought of where will i get P 7,300, stopped me from taking the next level. several members after the orientation tried and tried to convince me. they told me about their experiences, how they earn money with no sweat, among other things (honestly, they were really irritating).

i'm still not sure what to tell Loui if i'll join or what. before we part ways, i told him i may consider borrowing. as of now, chance of joining is really vague. i told my mother about it and she didn't agree with the idea. guess i would have to turn down Loui's offer and seek the usual way of earning money by being an employee.

truly, the company's legitimate. they have complete papers to prove their legality. it's just that i don't see myself earning money, reaching my goals without doing anything but to inhale oxygen, exhale carbon dioxide, sit and relax (according to them, that's how it generally works), and wait for what's going to pour into.

better enter the lion's den, work hard, overcome obstacles to reach your dreams 'cause what you earned from hard work is more fulfilling than just sitting around and wait.
