Start Of My Stock Market Journey

-

 

When I was a child, we always go to UniWide. For me, that was the only supermarket at that time as it is the only place we buy our home supplies. After a few years, it was burned and was lost in the memories of the people in Cainta, Rizal, and nearby suburbs. As I get old, many supermarkets are coming out. I have not been to the S&R Supermarket yet even though there is one close branch from where I work in Shaw, Mandaluyong. I miss going to The Landmark Supermarket when I go to Trinoma Mall in Quezon City. I also miss Rustan’s in Gateway Mall when I pass Cubao, Quezon City going to my office in Mandaluyong as I only need to travel riding the Light Rail Transit 2(LRT2) and Metro Rail Transit 3 (MRT3). Here are some of the popular supermarkets in the Metro:

Super8
The Marketplace
Metro Supermarket
SM Hypermarket
PureGold
S&R
Robinson’s Supermarket

And now, the newest supermarket where you can buy your groceries is MerryMart. Well, I would never know MerryMart if not because of the pandemic. It was June, last year when MerryMart started to give some noise in the stock market. MerryMart had an Initial Public Offering of one Philippine Peso per share. So I did not have a second thought at all, but to invest in the MerryMart stocks.

I am just a commoner or maybe lower than a commoner when it comes to the consumer levels. I work in a BPO and having just almost enough salary for my daily needs. Almost, because there are things I need to wait for a few salary days before I get to buy them. When the virus got worse last year, we need to stay at home and work from home to be protected and safe and so we can still assist all our customers worldwide. That’s the point in my life I get to save more and even buy more for my family as I don’t have to spend money to travel to work.

So I invested four thousand Pesos(4,000 PHP) in MerryMart. You realize that is just a bit of money you can spend in one day, but that is my savings for three months. Well, I had a total savings of five thousand, but of course, I need to keep a few for my needs for the whole month. Luckily, I was able to survive that month of hunger. 


 The day MerryMart started its debut in the Philippine Stock Market, I was very optimistic and thinking of long term investment with MerryMart. You will see its success in the stock market from this page. MerryMart being one of the essentials during this pandemic as it runs the business with food, beauty products, and medicine made some noise in the Philippine Stock Market on its initial week, Giving me confidence and no regrets with the first-ever stock I bought with my hard-earned money.

MerryMart is still doing great in stock trading as of today. I will tell more of the stocks I have on my future blogs. Catch ya soon!

My Experience In The BPO Industry (Part 1)

( PHOTO SOURCE ) Thank you for contacting customer support. How can I make your day better? I was in my fourth year of college when I entered the call center. I was looking for a company where I will finish my on-the-job training (OJT). I am in the field of computers so I decided to work as a technical support representative in the call center. My reason for entering the call center was because I do not want to spend my 4 months of OJT without getting good money. I don't want to get that very small allowance that the companies give to the students on OJT. I was feeling confident to pass the first company I tried, but unfortunately, I failed. However, the recruitment team gave me the things I need to improve to pass the application in the future.  So I stayed at home for two weeks. All I did during the daytime was watching English movies, series, and talk shows. I exposed myself to how the American people express themselves. I never even watched any Filipino shows, news, and even ad...

How I Overcame CoVid19

( Photo source )  Prior to having CoVid, I was one of those feeling immortals who think that I will never get infected by this virus. I was thinking that I have these antibodies because I have sinusitis, I always take 30ml of virgin coconut oil, I expose my skin to the sunlight every 9AM for 10 minutes, and 2000mg of vitamin C. Basta akala ko iyang mga iyan lang ang kailangan ng katawan ko para maprotektahan sa virus. Pero I was wrong.  On the 18th of August, my mom told me that dad is having a cough, he was not having any fever but was not advised to report to work since he is a PUI( Person Under Investigation). He was not isolating himself, he was still engaging with us every morning, then on the 20th of August, he already has a fever. That was the time that I thought he should be isolated. He got his check-up with a doctor, the doctor gave him an anti-biotic - CoAmoxiclav. On the 22nd of August, it was the last day of my work. I felt so heavy and having just a bit of a head...

Asia's Skylark, Jessica Villarubin Making Some Noise

  ( Photo Source ) The Philippines, a country of very talented singers. First is Lea Salonga, the Disney legend who has a voice very much clearer than my future. The voice behind Disney movies like Mulan and Jasmine of Aladin. I already wrote here in this blog that I am a hard-of-hearing person (PWD) and I find it hard to understand every single word of a song, but when I hear Lea in her YouTube videos, I can understand most of what is coming out of her music. I hear every note and every technic very clear, though not as loud as what a normal person without a hearing problem can. Next is the Asia's Songbird, Regine Velasquez. The mother of all the young singers today. The singer who can hit A2 - B6. I grew up listening to her songs. Yes, I was able to hear ever since I was born until 2012 until measles hit me, so that explains it. Haha! There is also Asia's Nightingale, Lani Misalucha who can sing several genres of songs like pop, rock, soul, jazz, R&B, and opera arias. She...
