“Why I Became a Sun Life Financial Advisor”

Who would have thought that I would be attracted in offering life insurance? When in fact, I hate sales. I hate approaching people and getting rejected afterwards. By profession, I am a Business Administration graduate major in Human Resource Development Management from Polytechnic University of the Philippines - Sta. Mesa Manila and currently working as an Instructional Designer in a technology and engineering global company publicly listed and headquartered in the US. Also, I finished my Diploma in Industrial Relations at the School of Labor and Industrial Relations, University of the Philippines Diliman last July 2020, and still contemplating if I am going to pursue Masters as it is a ladderized course.

Now, why am I also into insurance?

So let’s talk a little bit of my history.

I am the eldest child and eldest grandchild. I was the first to graduate with a Bachelor's degree from our family mainly because my grandparents cannot afford to send my mother and her siblings to College. As I can recall it, Mama said that Lolo used to tell them they will not get rich in studying so they’d better take care of their farm.

When I was growing up, our family have struggled so much. We lived in a shanty-like house along the main highway of Marilaque (Marcos Highway) with a small variety store while my father is a tricycle driver. My brother is a special child, with cerebral palsy and bed-ridden. We're a typical family who makes ends meet. I wasn't able to join field trips since elementary, as we don't have money to pay. I experienced eating "lugaw" with "daing" for two whole months during summer break because our store is on lean months and because the school opening makes our business alive. I was able to surpass those things by relying on scholarships and part time jobs and Mama’s "bumbay", "5/6" and other loan sharks. Even up to recently, my parents are still relying on some of those loans.

One fine day, Ate Jessa, the person I look up to during College, who was our Org President, offered me life insurance way back 2017. I realized that I wasn't been so practical in handling my personal finances. Apart from being unprepared for life’s emergencies such as sickness, accident and death, I lack proper management of my personal finances. And this all boils down from our family culture and history.

Back then, I was so fascinated that I was already able to buy my own food from fancy restaurants and indulge in shopping sprees. I have no problem about this, because, we should be enjoying our hard-earned money. The problem here was all of these purchases were transacted through my credit card. Not realizing that I am inheriting the debt culture from my parents. I did not use credit card to my advantage and have destroyed my personal finances at the early stage of my career. The financial planning session with Ate Jessa was an eye opener to me. I learned the basics of financial planning, and I should really be concerned of life’s emergencies, being the breadwinner to the family, and the so-called “takbuhan” of my extended family from the mother side. So, even if it's hard to cut my budget, I started with my investment-linked insurance policy. Despite these, I noticed that my spending patterns were still the same.

Until one fine day again, Ate Jessa, my turned to be Financial Advisor, told me that their team is looking for additional team member. I told her I'll get a look at it, thinking I badly need an additional income to sustain my schooling at UP Diliman. Fast forward to meeting the Unit Manager, I realized that upon entering the insurance industry, I'll be able to discipline myself more. I have to embody the principles of being a Financial Advisor and set as a good example to my clients and prospects. Thus, I will be forced to strictly follow my spending plans.

Today, I am almost three years with Sun Life and I could proudly say that I already have improvements in my personal finances. Not only that, I am able to secure lives of my clients but also partake with their dreams for their loved ones. I am becoming God’s instrument to make this world a better place for our future generations.

Debt cycle must stop. A generation of practically prepared individuals should take over.

From Meatspace to Cyberspace: Top Execs Moving From Traditional to Crypto Jobs in 2019

From Meatspace to Cyberspace: Top Execs Moving From Traditional to Crypto Jobs in 2019:

Prominent figures from a range of long-established companies found greener pastures in the blockchain realm in 2019. From BlackRock to Goldman Sachs, and from HSBC to the SEC, traditional industries saw some of their top personnel leave for new prospects in cryptocurrency over the past year.

Early 2019

Frigid winter conditions in the crypto market failed to dissuade career moves into the industry. Despite the bearish market conditions of early 2019, many saw fit to join the blockchain movement and leave their familiar jobs behind.

Tron hired David Labhart as the company’s first chief compliance officer. Labhart previously worked as a supervisory attorney at the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The blockchain platform picked up Labhart to help in its efforts to meet the variety of regulatory compliance obligations in the U.S. and other global markets.

Hopping across the pond to France and the United Kingdom, British blockchain technology group Setl hired the former governor of the French central bank, Christian Noyer. Joining Setl’s board of directors, Noyer offered the company a “wealth of experience in the financial, regulatory, economic management and central banking world.”

Blockchain payments network Ripple hired a former HSBC general counsel, Stuart Alderoty. Alderoty offered legal expertise that would help Ripple to navigate through the legalities of its operations. Ripple was looking for more legal help as it faced a consumer lawsuit over alleged securities laws violations due to its association with the XRP cryptocurrency.

ErisX scooped up three industry veterans from Barclays, Youtube and the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) to fill executive roles at the company. Robert Thrash of Barclays took on the role of chief operating officer (COO). Arnold Connell, formerly a creator at Youtube TV, became head of infrastructure. John Denza moved from the fintech and exchange sector, joining ErisX as a business development executive.

Gearing up for its spot and regulated futures platform, ErisX continued plucking talent from the traditional realm. Former Wells Fargo executive Kyle Unterseher joined the team as a business development executive.

Former Goldman Sachs executive Marco Lim joined MaiCapital, a Hong Kong-based blockchain and cryptocurrency-focused hedge fund. He was hired to develop the company, focusing on sales and marketing by building strategic partnerships. Lim previously worked at Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, and Forex Capital Markets.

Spring

Spring 2019 displayed a thaw in temperatures and prices, as the market warmed to renewed positivity and optimism. The exodus of blue-chip execs into crypto start-ups continued.

A former engineering executive at PayPal and Google, Mike Blandina joined Bakkt as its chief product officer (CPO). Blandina is an expert with over 25 years of experience in digital payments, engineering, strategy and operations. Bakkt hired Blandina to help the company “bring real applications to Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies.” Blandina recently took the reins as CEO of Bakkt, as of December 20.

In addition to losing talent to ErisX in February, Barclays also saw the departure of Chris Tyrer, who was hired by Fidelity Digital Assets, the crypto platform of Fidelity Investments. He served as head of digital assets project, head of commodities trading, and global head of crude oil trading at Barclays over a period of 13 years.

Oren Blonstein joined the team at Huobi as vice president of product and technology at HBUS. Blonstein is a technology and financial services veteran who previously worked at trading technology providers Tora and Caspian. He offers the exchange expertise derived from nearly two decades of experience in product management and financial services.

Leaving the world of private equity and public markets, Glen Braganza departed from Worldpay U.S. to join cryptocurrency payment services provider BitPay. His experience was touted by BitPay CEO Stephen Pair as a “key advantage” in helping to move the company into the mainstream with “fast consumer transactions and easy global payments.”

Veteran Wall Street trader Nick Carmi joined BitGo, a blockchain security and cryptocurrency custody firm. The move was reportedly intended to to forge “a stronger connection between technologically innovative digital assets and the traditional financial sphere,” according to BitGo CEO Mike Belshe.

Summer

With crypto markets riding high, the exit door became more appealing to a growing range of experts and industry veterans. The trend to pull up stakes from traditional to blockchain showed no signs of slowing.

Bidding adieu to his roles as strategic executive at Dell and the National Basketball Association, Gin Chao joined Binance as their global strategy officer. Chao’s new role would focus on corporate development, venture investment and finding new business opportunities as part of its global strategy.

In an unusual politics-to-crypto crossover, former United States Senator Rick Santorum joined the board of a Catholic community-oriented cryptocurrency project called Cathio. The platform was “designed to address the needs of the Catholic economy by ensuring lower costs, greater transaction visibility, and improved security for the community.”

Stephen Moore, an economist and former Trump campaign advisor, joined the Decentral cryptocurrency project as chief economic officer. Moore compared Decentral with Facebook’s Libra, envisioning it becoming a popular payment method, saying “I hope it makes me rich.”

Departing from Morgan Stanley Asia, Jeffrey Wang joined the Shenzhen-based cryptocurrency company, Amber Group. Acting as head of Americas, the former head of derivatives had previously worked with four out of the five founders of Amber Group when they previously worked at Morgan Stanley.

Crypto summer was all about Facebook’s Libra, at least until the fanfare fell flat following regulatory backlash. The company hired Standard Chartered Bank’s head of public affairs Ed Bowles in anticipation of “greater regulatory scrutiny” in Europe. Bowles was picked up for his expertise as a senior bank lobbyist, joining the team as the London-based director of public policy.

Fall

As temperatures cooled and markets eased, the entry of new participants from the traditional realm did not appear to weaken. If anything, the cast of characters joining the crypto stage grew, with big banks and financial institutions proving to be an excellent source of talent.

Morgan Stanley saw another executive part ways, joining the Winklevoss brothers’ cryptocurrency exchange Gemini. Noah Perlman joined Gemini’s ranks as chief compliance officer. Perlman had worked at Morgan Stanley for 13 years as global head of financial crimes and global head of special investigations.

Derek Gobel of BNP Paribas joined BitMEX parent firm HDR Global Trading as general counsel. After working for the French banking group for more than 19 years, Gobel’s new role would provide legal oversight for HDR Global. The move was made in hopes that Gobel could help the company “move forward in today’s continually evolving regulatory environment” according to a BitMEX blog post.

Mike Kennedy, founder of the Zelle digital payments network, joined Interstellar as its new CEO. The Zelle payment system is used by numerous traditional financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase, Citi, and Bank of America, according to its website. The Stellar-focused (XLM) crypto development company took on Kennedy to help build out new services in international payments.

BlackRock and Goldman Sachs said farewell to a 25-year veteran of the financial institutions, Howard Surloff, who joined Blockchain.com as general counsel. The crypto wallet provider hired Surloff to help advance “legal, compliance and corporate governance within the crypto industry.”

Former Google product manager Tony Sheng joined Blockchain and cryptocurrency investment firm Multicoin Capital. Sheng was hired to help the firm “secure new deals” and to “work with existing portfolio members.” Also departing from Google, former Russia chief technology officer Jennifer Trelewicz became the new chief business officer (CBO) at Credits. Her past experience as a director at IBM was touted as an asset for future collaboration between the companies.

In its continued mission to meet legal compliance requirements, Ripple picked up four more board members: Craig Phillips, Michelle Bond, Ron Hammond, and Susan Friedman. Phillips hailed from the United States Treasury Department and joined Ripple to advise on “strategic regulatory opportunities”. Bond’s list of titles is considerable, having served as Senior Counsel for the SEC and the U.S. Senate Banking Committee as well as being the former global head of policy at blockchain, regulatory affairs and public policy at Bloomberg. Former Congressional Assistant Ron Hammond joined Ripple in his new role as manager of government relations. Hammond was involved in the creation of the Token Taxonomy Act, a bill that was designed to provide greater clarity and certainty for businesses in the American blockchain industry. Friedman previously worked at the CFTC and joined Ripple in her new role as international policy counsel.

Fidelity Investments kept the hiring spree going, adding Michael Zinaman as its product specialist. At Fidelity, Zinaman’s role focuses on the company’s strategy regarding cryptocurrencies, custody, and execution services. He had previously worked at Imperial Capital, an investment banking firm, before becoming managing director of blockchain and digital assets at Canaccord Genuity.

In November, another United States government official migrated to the blockchain industry, joining cryptocurrency payment startup C Labs. Jai Ramaswamy oversees compliance strategy as the company works to provide “an open platform that makes financial tools accessible to anyone with a mobile phone.”

Julian Sawyer, a former CEO and co-founder at the United Kingdom-based Starling Bank, joined the Gemini exchange as the new managing director of the U.K. and Europe.

And in the most recent departure from the SEC, Alex C. Levine was hired to handle compliance for all security offerings at TokenSoft, a security token platform. Levine will serve as the new chief legal officer, helping the firm to “ensure that its customers receive the ‘best-in-class’ compliance tooling for security token issuances.”

2020

The migration continues. As the cryptocurrency market ebbs and flows, the movement of talent from the traditional world to blockchain-focused entities persists. Working busily to build and grow in the nascent industry, those in the know seem to be indifferent to the whims of traders, whales, and the usual volatile price fluctuations.

Zichi played Pokémon Sword

And he is still royally pissed off!

When the drama and controversy came out regarding Pokémon Sword/Shield, I was more and more put off by it until I decided that no, I was gonna wait until I could get a second-hand copy for it...

And then people began talking about how much they loved it and how much fun they were having with it... No second-hand copies were appearing yet, so I caved to peer pressure like the little bitch I am and bought a copy.

I regret that so much. I don’t like this game, I very much loathe it.

I was planning on doing this semi-review ever since I started the game, so obviously there will be “plot” spoilers ahead for you guys. But anyway, here goes.

Let’s start with the very few things I like about this game, start on a positive note, at the very least.

Technical Records

I actually liked this concept. In the UK, we’re currently going through the “Vinyl Nostalgia Phase” as my dad calls it. The callback of ancient TMs being turned into TRs was pretty cool, and I am very glad that they made TRs infinitely collectable through Raids. My biggest grievances with old-school TMs was the limited supply you got: usually the best TMs you only ever got once, so only one Pokémon could ever learn some of the most useful and game-defining moves available. This makes a lot more moves available...

However it would be nice if I didn’t have to open Serebii every time I was looking for a specific TR, and then pray that specific pokemon from that specific den appears. If they weren’t so dependant on luck, they’d be a lot better.

(Most) New Pokemon

Wooloo for life.

But seriously, I absolutely love a lot of the designs for new Pokémon, which is rare for me, I’m usually critical and uncertain about new Pokémon. But these new Pokémon I actually really like. Corviknight is as cool as I thought, Coalossal is awesome, and although I was ambivalent about him at first, Sirfetch’d has really grown on me.

Buuuuut we’re just gonna skip over the fossil Pokémon. Because I dislike them for a variety of reasons.

However, I reckon that that’s it for things I like about the new games, so now we’re just going to get into the meat of the problems and the things that just piss me off.

Cut Content.

I don’t really have to explain any further, let’s be honest. It’s not just Dexit, it’s the cut moves that piss me off, along with the axe to Mega Evolution and Z-Crystals. I don’t really need to say much else, do I?

Raids and Gigantamax

At first, I kinda enjoyed my time with raids, I spent a load of time raiding with @pinekaboo and enjoying the feeling of teaming up to take down a titanic Pokémon... But after the first few days it just felt like a chore. If I wanted a particular TR, a particular Pokémon, a particular this that or other, then I would be spending hours looking up information on Serebii, trying to narrow down where to find it and then either getting the wrong Pokémon or having to spend time grinding Watts for Wish Stones or fighting in other dens to reset all the active dens. So much effort just for the god damn body slam TR.

Gigantamax meanwhile, is just... The most frustratingly pointless thing possible. Not only is it locked to post-game with some limited-time exceptions, it’s apparently banned in competitive tournaments?

Why even fucking bother with it then? I spent hours trying to find a G-Max Kingler, only to learn it’s Post-Game only. And then I spent hours trying to find/catch a GMax Butterfree, only to learn a normal Butterfree is technically better. It’s pathetic.

Apparently I’m not allowed to be angry about Gigantamax bc I’m wrong, like always.

Team Yell

Sorry guys, but Team Yell is just a poor man’s Team Skull, but even less threatening.

“Oh you like this? It’s Post-Game”

This is the second biggest Pet Peeve of mine regarding the game. I spent hours looking for a Ralts before learning that all those “15% chance spawn rates” are in foggy weather, which comes in the post-game, leaving me stuck with a 2% chance. Those “Nature Candies” are locked until post-game and apparently need an obnoxious amount of BP to unlock.

What’s particularly gregarious is the fact there’s a BP trader in that town where the dragon gym leader is met pretty early on... And you can’t get any BP until end-game.

Shut the fuck up about Leon.

I don’t care about Leon. He himself is not that annoying, but every time I hear “oh Leon’s so amazing” I wanna punch something. I’m pretty sure it’s intended to make the player feel awesome for taking him down, but it just feels like pointless pandering. Like we get it, Leon’s great. Shut the fuck up about how awesome he and his fucking Charizard is.

Charizard

Yup. Charizard gets its own spot here.

The Pokémon Company has sucked Charizard’s dick enough, I say. It got 2 Mega Evolutions and a Gigantamax, and it’s the champion’s star Pokémon, and it’s hyped up to be the best thing ever.

It was only vaguely challenging to me because I decided sweeping it with Steam Engine Coalossal would be boring. So I took it down with my Gallade.

Yes, Gallade has a type disadvantage. I didn’t really care.

Empty Team slots

The only person in this entire game to have a full team has been Leon. Every gym fight I found myself depositing Pokémon just to have a fair fight.

Plot and Pacing (or lack of it).

You’ve seen me rant about this before, but I’m going to rant about it some more.

So I really don’t like over-levelling in any level-based game, because then the game feels trivial and unchallenging. But Pokémon Sword’s level curve makes no fucking sense. Sometimes I’d be training 10 Pokémon and still be over-levelled, then I’d go back to a normal team of 6 and find myself nearly getting steamrolled by Pokémon 5 levels higher than me. Towards the end of the game I found myself wondering whether I was the “right level” or not. I’d have to choose my team, save, go up against a gym leader and then reset to use XP candies on my pokemon after deliberately under-levelling them.

And then suddenly Leon’s lowest level is 62 after the previous trainer’s highest was 57. There wasn’t that much inbetween, game devs.

And I’ve just ranted about the pacing guys. I haven’t even begun with the plot.

To be perfectly honest? The whole “plot” with Rose? The game would be 100 times better if they just cut out Rose and Marco Cosmos. If Team Yell is a poor man’s Skull, then Marco Cosmos is a poorer man’s Aether Foundation.

So many times we get hints and implication that there is something going on behind the scenes, but every time we get to do nothing. We just get to hear about how great-and-mighty Leon will handle everything, so why don’t you just worry about your gym challenge?

The game spends so long focusing on the gym challenge, that I think the game would be better if it focused exclusively on that. At least then perhaps we’d have one full story instead of two half-assed stories.

Or hell, maybe if the Marco Cosmos story was exclusively post-game, that would be preferable. But as it stands, it’s just two or three vague cutscenes that something’s going on and then suddenly chucking a load of plot at the last fucking minute.

I have no interest in Rose’s energy crisis woes. I have no investment in his discussions about the future and the energy crisis we may face. None of that is interesting to me because I have had no time to get invested. The closest to investment I can possibly get is learning what is happening.

Hell, for all my love for Gen 6 and how it re-invigorated my love for Pokémon, I consider Team Flare one of the weaker villains in terms of story... and yet I was 100% more interested in them then in whatever Rose is doing and his reasons for doing it.

In conclusion, Pokémon Sword has -at its best- felt like a rushed, hashed hobjob of a game. It feels like the devs were short in staff and pressed for time, and forced to cut a lot of content in a desperate bid to make it in time for the Pokémon Company’s grand franchise plan and/or the Christmas market. They’re trying to rely heavily on the market opened by the Pokémon Go community (anyone noticed how Dynamax Dens have a feel similar to raid battles in Pokémon Go?) rather than delivering a game they can be proud in.

Inevitably, Pokemon Sharp Sword and Sturdy Shield will arrive on the markets -because these days we don’t get an Crystal/Emerald/Platinum- and I am legitimately considering skipping them over.

The “core games” are the backbone of the franchise. I doubt they will cause the franchise to die, but it would certainly be crippled if sales drop, but I don’t think I can continue with them anymore. My trust in the Pokémon Company is the lowest it’s ever been. I doubt the company’s choice in direction, I doubt the decisions they’ve made in business, industrial and commercial affairs. I do not believe they can provide me with the quality I’ve come to expect of them anymore and I don’t believe I can continue supporting them.

Honestly, this lack of faith in the franchise, it’s putting me in a strange place. I love this Pokémon RP blog I’ve built up, I love the muses I’ve created, the adventures I’ve written and the friends I’ve made through this blog and I’ve never really wanted them to end. But for the first time since nearly the start of the decade, when I first decided to try out this blog under the name pokemontrainerzefri, I’ve begun to wonder if it won’t be my depression and insecurities that kill it, but a loss of interest...

Instapaper returns to EU, relaunches its premium subscription service

Last month, Instapaper spun out from Pinterest – two years after being acquired – to again become its own independent “read later” service. Today, the new company is announcing a plan that will allow it to sustain itself in the years ahead: yes, its subscription service has returned. The company is relaunching its Instapaper Premium subscription service for $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year. This offers a variety of upgraded features to Instapaper users, including an ad-free website, full-text search, and more. It’s also live again in the EU, as it has now become GDPR compliant.

Instapaper’s relaunched Premium service will include the following:

Full-text search for all articles in your account

Unlimited Notes

Text-to-Speech playlists on mobile

Speed reading to get through all of your articles up to 3x faster

An ad-free Instapaper website

“Send to Kindle” using a bookmarklet or our mobile apps

These are the same features that Instapaper had made free for all, directly following its acquisition by Pinterest.

In doing so, Instapaper became a more compelling alternative to rival Pocket, which continued to charge for things like ad-free browsing and full-text search. But it also raised the question as to what Pinterest aimed to do with Instapaper going forward – if it wasn’t bringing in its own revenues, there was concern the service was being put in maintenance-only mode.

In truth, Instapaper never quite made sense for Pinterest, beyond both sharing a similar focus in allowing users to save pieces of the web to their personal collections – in Instapaper’s case, articles to be read; for Pinterest, just about anything else. Of course, it also brought to Pinterest a valuable team of engineers.

The companies had said at the time of the acquisition they would work on the development of Rich Pins. Pinterest today offers Article Pins that let users save stories they want to read. But it has never become known as an Instapaper alternative.

Instapaper has lived through several ownership changes since being first founded by Marco Arment. It was later sold to Betaworks, and then to Pinterest. Now the same team who have been working on Instapaper since the sale to Betaworks in 2013 are back in charge of the new company called Instant Paper, Inc.

They’ve spent the last two months working on becoming GDPR-compliant, and today say they’ve again made the service available to European Union users as a result.

“We are very sorry for the extended downtime and, as a token of our apology, we are giving six months of Instapaper Premium to all EU users affected by the outage,” the company apologized in its announcement.

“We’ve updated our privacy policy to include the rights afforded to EU users under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Additionally, in the interest of transparency, we are posting our privacy policy to GitHub where you can view a versioned history of all the changes to our privacy policy.” the blog post also noted.

Those interested in upgrading to Instapaper Premium can do so here.
