What have you purchased with your salary?
By November 30 and first few days of December, call center employees will get their 13th month pay and leave conversion pay. I promised myself not to purchase anything unimportant once I get my money. I plan to buy something big by March 2011.
This brings me to the topic of spending. In my three years and 10 days in the industry, I have purchased a lot of things, both for personal use and for my parents. My very first purchase was a 512 MB Creative Zen MP3 player which, at that time, costs P 3, 200.
I want to humbly list what I have purchased in the past three years:
two computer sets – one in 2008, another last May
Nikon D40x DSLR and a Canon A470 point-and-shoot camera
Nikon SB-800 flash and Nikkor 55-200 mm lens
Samsung 22in LCD TV
Condura aircondition
Asus EEEPC netbook
a netbook
Microsoft Zune
Nokia N70 phone
grocery every 15/30
Internet subscription
I hope I could buy more but I have to save up for 2011.

Finally I found a call center blog.
I’ve been wanting to blog about the RP BPO scene but cant come up with any content since I left the industry before I started blogging.
I’ll be frequenting this blog to re-live my call center days.
Pa-link exchange na din sir if its ok. Just tell me your preferred anchor text and I’ll link to you.
Cheers.

You got an interesting topic here…which made me think of my own investment in the almost 3 years of working in the BPO industry.
-I manage to buy a house and lot for my parents and we just moved in last May.
-Change most of the furniture as well (from living room to the bed room)
-Bought a Nikon cam (10 migapixels), the one that came before their touch screen model
-Groceries every payday
-Pay the phone and water bills
-And now I’m planning to buy an Iphone for my bonus…
It’s nice to invest cause you know that at the end of the day, working in graveyard shift is so worth it =)
