Our department has had a lot of changes these past few months, what with people being due for moves to other roles and new hires coming in to fill their positions. Even our leadership team was new, so they decided it was time to get to know everyone and what better way to do this […]

Paalam, Ichiro!
Our Japanese AD Ichiro was being sent back to Japan after two years of stay in GBS, so they organized a surprise despedida party for him last night. All the people he interacted with were invited and his GBS best friend Sunil brought him there. The event was held in Ardi’s and each group of […]
Search for Alluring Papa
Our team leader Carie had her birthday and as the official birthday gimik planner, I rose to the occasion and came up with an idea to rival what happened on my birthday — a searcher-searchee contest!

25 Roses: the Best Birthday Surprise Ever
It was around 1pm of September 7 and I was busy answering emails and troubleshooting when suddenly, a voice boomed behind me. “Heidee, happy birthday!” His voice was so loud, so everyone in our floor (with the newly lowered cubicle partitions) turned to look. It was the office heartthrob Jon holding out a long-stemmed red […]
