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 […]
Heroes in Canyon Woods
For my third teambuilding for P&G Asia FSS (Financial Services & Solutions), I became a committee member. Aside from being the brains behind the theme “heroes,” my other contribution as part of the logistics team was to be the marshall of the “X-Men.” We left Petron Megaplaza building at promptly 6:15am on August 23, so […]
Host for Hire
When a part time job as party host got advertised in Jobstreet, I clicked on the “apply” button faster than I could troubleshoot a problematic invoice. A few days later I got an email inviting me for an interview, and that Sunday found me in Ortigas with a resume advertsing my hosting skills. When I […]

Ultimate Frisbee
My interest first got sparked when I watched my officemates play ultimate frisbee during our company sportsfest last summer. It seemed fun, and since I knew that two of my housemates were into the sport, I decided to give it a shot too. So a couple of weeks ago, Reggie brought me to his game. […]

My manager Mina turned thirty today, so I printed out thirty pictures of her then my teammate Mich taped them all up on the wall behind her and around our cubicle along with a birthday greeting. Then we sent her a bouquet of roses and stargazers bearing a card saying that it is from Tog, […]
Accidents Happen…Especially to Me
A fortuneteller who can supposedly see your past lives once told me that I should be careful of the water because in one of my past lives, it was the cause of my death. I am not sure I believe in past lives, but I wonder if she has a point. Like I mentioned in […]
Happy First Birthday Rhyza!
If I needed proof that time flew fast, Rhyza’s first birthday party was it. It seems like only yesterday that I attended this girl’s christening, and now she was turning a year old?!? Her mom and my friend Liza invited us to the party held in McDonalds Greenbelt last Sunday. We played games, ate spaghetti […]
Scorching Sports Showdown
We had our second annual company summer sports showdown yesterday. We rode buses to Ultra, donned in different colored jersey shirts. Mine was dark blue for the Treasury-Accounts Payable-Affiliates alliance team. The first event was the 1.5K fun run. Everyone was entitled to join this race, but due to the extreme heat and phobia after […]
