Simply the Best!

by

Once a year, the three legal entities (oops…sorry for the work jargon) of P&G Philippines come together with the retirees to celebrate and have friendly competition with each other. For this year this happened yesterday at the NBC tent in the fort. While I usually just sit back, relax, and enjoy the shows, this year I […]

Bye, Despedidans!

by

In P&G it is the custom to change roles after every 2 years or so to prevent employees from getting bored being stuck in the same role forever, and also to provide opportunities for growth. And so we bid adieu to 6 lovely ladies (Leah, Kris, Mich, Rhea, Toni & Melai) last September 13 in […]

PMG – In The Raw

by

Yesterday, the third general assembly of the PMG (performing musicians guild, one of the original and biggest wellness circles in ) entitled “In the Raw” was held in Nobel Plaza, home of PMG. While our group “Parokya ni Jobacs” was invited to do another performance, none of the original members was up to the challenge, so […]

25 Roses: the Best Birthday Surprise Ever

by

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

by

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

by

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

by

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. […]

Summer Daze

by

It’s summer time (nearing the end, actually). What does that mean? Sweltering heat. Sleepless afternoons (only the boys in the house got an airconditioner for their bedroom. Yey for them!). Headaches from temperature changes. How to combat that?1. Tank tops (P50 white ones from tiangges)2. Buko shakes (buko loco buko melon combo from Buko ni […]

Mina’s 30th

by

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, […]
