I believe that “It is not necessary to vanish fear in order to gain confidence, but wholesome the failed of failure is one of the best guarantees of success.”

I am very proud to become a part of the PC EXTREME family.  I would like to thank the owner/franchisee of Angelo’s PC Extreme Internet Café – La Union, Ma’am Rowena F. Cera  for giving me the chance to work in her Internet Café thus improving my computer knowledge and expertise as well as my job performance.

I’m very happy with my job now.  Ever since I graduated from college (Computer Programming),  I couldn’t find a job which would be related to my degree and passion.  Only now, through PC Extreme!  This is it.  I love and enjoy my work.

Nagpapasalamat din ako kina Engr. Jonathan Ilano, Ma’am Diana Valerio , my co-employee Sir Noel Espiritu at sa lahat ng bumubuo ng PC EXTREME family for sharing your thoughts and knowledge.  Naramdaman ko talaga na di’ ako nagiisa. I considered that the PC EXTREME is the best training ground that I will treasure for the rest of my life and PC Extreme is the perfect and right place for me.  MARAMING SALAMAT PO!

-Romulo Carig

One time a customer asked, ” How come you can watch TV in the internet?” Yes, it’s possible thru www.pinoytambayan.tv! To enjoy viewing, you will need a fast internet access just like what PC Extreme have. Shows are updated regularly. Live viewing is also available. No need to install a Satellite TV or Cable TV. You will also conserve electricity. A TV is a lot more energy-consuming than an LCD monitor. And you don’t need to hurry up and end up missing your most followed TV series. Your favorite shows are accessible in the Pinoy Tambayan archive. When you have a single TV at home, you also don’t need to argue with what TV show to tune in.

For Internet Cafe owners, additional income for you! Your non-gaming customers will definitely spend more time in your shop. Not all have discovered this. You’re lucky, so spread the good news!

Most of the time, it’s just a play on the letters of the word Google but this time, the entire logo is practically playable.

Just check out this Pac-Man game over at the homepage of Google. Might take several seconds for it to load but once it does, you’ll be surprised. This is probably the most interesting of all the Google Doodle I’ve seen. Source: www.yugatech.com

Masarap maging bata sa panahon na ito dahil nga labis na napakaraming bagay ang maaring gawin para malibang. Ang mga makabagong technolohiya ay nagbibigay daan upang matuklasan ang ibat ibang bagay na maaring magawa ng isang bata di tulad noong panahon ng kanilang mga magulang. Sa pamamagitan ng computer at internet ay mas madali na ang pagkuha ng impormasyon na kanilang kinakailangan sa pang araw araw na buhay. Ito rin ang mga teknolohiyang ito ang nagkakapagbigay ng aliw at ligaya sa mga bata. Sila ngayon ay maari nang marinig ng kanilang paboritong mga kanta, manood ng kanilang mga panoorin at maglaro ng kanilang mga paboritong laro sa oras na kanilang ninanais.

Kung noong araw ay kinakailangan pang maghanap ng kalaro sa labas ng bahay upang magkaroon ng kasiyahan, sa makabagong panahon ang kailangan lang gawin ay pindutin ang mga buton sa computer at ikaw ay maari nang makakita ng mga kalaro sa kahit saan panig ng daigdig. Ang mga bata ay lubos na nasisiyahan sa paggamit ng makabagong teknolohiya dahil ito ay nagbibigay sa kanila kapangyarihan para gawin ang mga sumusunod:

* Magkaroon ng pangalawang katauhan – nagkakaroon sila ng paraan para maisabuhay ang kanilang mga pantasya at ninanais. Maari ito sa pamamagitan ng mga katauhan na ginagamit sa paglalaro o sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng ibang impormasyon tungkol sa kanilang mga sarili.

* Maipakita ang kanilang galing sa paggawa – ang computer at internet ay nagiging daan para maipakita at maibahagi sa maraming tao ang kanilang anking galling sa paggawa ng panoorin at sulatin. Ito ay nagbibigay sa kanila ng daan upang ihayag ang kanilang saloobin. Madali rin nilang naipapadala ang kanilang ginawa sa pamamagitan ng mga social networking sites, messenger, sms at email.

* Magkaroon ng kaibigan sa ibat ibang lugar ng daigdig – maari silang magkaroon ng mga kaibigan mula sa ibat ibang lugar na nagpapalawak ng kanilang mga kaalaman tungkol sa kultura at pagkakaiba ng mga tao.

* Napipili nila kung anong klaseng impormasyon ang kanilang maaring ibigay at makuha mula sa internet – karamihan ng mga bagay bagay na makikita ngayon sa internet ay gawa na mismo ng mga taong gumagamit nito. Mayroon na ngayong kakayahan ang mga tao na ilahat at kumuha ng mga impormasyong sa tingin nila ay importante. Ang kakayahang mamili at pagbigay ng impormasyon ay nagbibigay ng lakas sa mga gumagamit nito.

Lubhang napakasarap talagang gamitin ang mga makabagong teknolohiya sa pang araw araw na gawin. Ito ay nagbibigay ng kapangyarihan sa lahat ng gumagamit nito. Hindi tulad ng mga bagay na natuklasan noong nakaraang panahon na kakaunti lang ang maaring makagamit nito, ang makabagong teknolohiya ay maaring maapektuhan ang uri at antas ng pamumuhay ng isang tao o isang pamayanan.

At the end of the day, you will feel tired and exhausted from your job. But then, a smile of accomplishment and fulfillment is found in your heart. It’s not just the job itself, the working environment, the salary, the employer, nor do the benefits that all count in one’s employee’s job motivation. It is simply sometimes your passion of doing it. “I just feel like doing it! I love doing my job!”  Tristan says.

“I love to meet a lot of people from all walks of life, making friends & learning new techniques and strategies from experiences on computer troubleshooting and information technology. I believe a diploma is not enough. Learning from work is the best reward you will ever receive. Thank you so much to my trainor, Engr. Ilano for all you taught me and continue sharing with me on the technical matters. Thank you to Ma’am Yanna for hiring me and giving me the opportunity to prove what I got,” he says.

“To my co-employees, let’s always give our best regarding our job assignments. Let’s make PC Extreme proud of us. Everytime we are disciplined or reprimanded, don’t stop, don’t quit! It’s just a way of correcting our mistakes. What is important is the commitment of moving forward and positive day by day with our lives at PC Extreme. Kung my problema kayo sabhin nyo lang sa ‘kin (dadagdagan ko pa! Just kidding! XD). Let’s all work together para mapalakas natin ang branch natin kung saan tayo naka-assign. It’s all in ourselves if we are qualified to stay. God is always there, ready to catch us if ever we’re going to fall, he will never ever let us down. I share the Extreme Employee compliment with you guys!” – Tristan Kirby Cruz

Not everyone is meant to become an entrepreneur. It’s for risk-takers and those who are capable of performing under pressure. Empowered by determination and guts, a nurse from La Union recently crossed the threshold of the risky world of business industry. She is Rowena Cera, the newest member of the PC Extreme Franchise Family and fortunately, the owner of the top grosser PC Extreme branch located at San Fernando City, La Union.

Cera is formerly employed as a Registered Nurse at Saad Specialist Hospital, Al-Khobar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In 2009, she decided to resign from her job and thought of settling down in the Philippines instead.

“At my early age it’s already my passion to have my own business. I want to help many people not only my family as well as to my ka-barangay by giving them jobs. Though I am a Registered Nurse (RN), I decided to set aside my profession and give a break to my passion. God willing,to be a successful businesswoman,” – says Cera.

To pursue her dream and passion, Cera started browsing the Internet and looked for possible business opportunities. She indeed found a lot of options. However, after a thorough study and evaluation, she finally decided to franchise PC Extreme Internet Café.

“I learned that PC EXTREME does not charge any Franchise Fee unlike those other franchisors whose franchise fee is too expensive. I am happy to say that I really made the right decision to be a franchisee of PC Extreme. They’re hands on in helping their franchisee. They are fantastic, helpful and very accommodating in explaining every detail of information about the business. They follow up their franchisee on whatever they need, “ -Cera adds.

When asked about her plans, according to her if given the chance, she will expand the business she has started with PC Extreme as much as she could. What made her smile in every step of her ladder to success? Her inspiration? It’s her family – her husband, their son Angelo and her sister Eileen.

“Be systematic. Don’t stop dreaming. Patience and hard work are most important. Above all, ALWAYS PRAY TO GOD. If you have some failures, don’t STOP or SURRENDER, life has to go on,” -a simple yet striking message from Mrs. Rowena Cera.

This promising entrepreneur made everything possible just by living up to her dream and passion of becoming someone everybody could appreciate and look up to. You too could be like her. Point is, when you dream, do it seriously. Nothing is impossible with faith in God combined with perseverance.
