So okay I give it a shot. You will never know. And then I got a reply.



SO I say wow sure. And then I confirmed.

Trekking the makati lane and looking for the building I chanced upon this:



THAT IS THE ONLY ESTABLISHMENT INSIDE I PROCEEDED AND ASKED FOR THE LADY's NAME and there she was.

I walked out because I was pissed. I have nothing against MLM , they are money making opportunities for people who are very very hard working and very very pr oriented but the thing is they were poor in selling me to go and have an orientation. I was thinking they had to entice me with some salesbook technique and not be direct. I tried going once with a friend but a different product and the reason why I went is because he directly asked me to go and he told me where and what it was. He did not run around and tell me some mystical money thats going to land in my lap just because I am going to deal with email follow ups and calls for a US listed company.

But it reflects something though about what my mind and eyes see and grab...FOOL! I learned a good lesson about this today and as pissed as I was for wasting time, I cannot get pissed at them. Truth is I was still sold by this ad, and so will some ambitious people who wish to work from home.
