Site Rep Symposium 2006

by

In our line of work we get to handle the markets of different countries. We have counterparts in those countries, and we call them site reps. Every year we hold a site rep symposium and invite them over here. This year the dates picked were September 6-8. I was picked by one of the team […]

Deja Vu High School Reunion

by

I notice a pattern here. Everytime I see Flisha, I also see Rey and Jerome within that same week or so. Like last time. And now. Last Saturday I went to meet Flisha in SM Makati. She was apparently in Manila for some sort of seminar, so I took this opportunity to give her birthday […]

Bye Bye Reylyn

by

When Reylyn announced that she was migrating to the Cayman Islands with her hubby, an instant despedida was definitely called for. So I booked a one-bedroom condo in Millennium Plaza Hotels for Friday night and told the gang to be there then. But the night before that, Gelle and I started singing “Lost in Your […]

The Spotlight

by

Thom, our P2P rockstar, was talking to me last Sunday about how nice it felt when he sang onstage and everybody was screaming his name. Afterwards, lots of people even wanted to pose for pictures with him (including me – guilty as charged!). No wonder people crave the spotlight, he said. I can relate. During […]

Rockin’ Yearend

by

Yeah I know what you’re thinking. Yearend? But it’s not even into the ‘ber months yet! Well, our company does not follow the calendar year, and we close our fiscal years every June. And to celebrate that, we usually have a party after about a couple of months. So for this year, the following were […]

Boracay Getaway {Deetour}

by

After four long months of waiting, July 8 finally rolled around and found me and four of my housemates headed for Kalibo inside a Cebu Pacific airplane. It didn’t start out well, though. Since it’s July and not exactly summer, it was raining on the morning of our departure, that’s why during the first part […]

Bye Bye Kes & Arni (part 3)

by

As if two despedida’s were not enough, we pushed for one more — our original plan, the sleepover. We rented out a condo room in Millenium Plaza Hotels for one night and checked ourselves in at around 9pm last Friday. But before that, Gelle, Yen and I stopped by Caltex Starmart to buy food and […]

Bye Bye Kes & Arni (part 2)

by

I mentioned in the previous blog that two of my friends from the office are resigning. Our despedida session in IO was kind of bitin, so we decided to have a surprise lunch for them in their last day in the office, which is today. We gathered everyone together, including those who have been so […]

Bye Bye Kes & Arni

by

Don’t you just hate goodbyes? Actually, it’s not all goodbyes I hate, only when I am the one being left behind. I mean, when I was the one who had to leave, somehow saying goodbye was more bearable. So it was kind of a blow to me when two of my dearest friends in the […]

Singkit New York Chinese Takeout Food

by

A few months ago, Petron unveiled two floors of restaurants for the eating pleasure of Buendia-based employees. After trying Teriyaki Boy’s Japanese dishes, Ineng’s barbeques, and Pancake House’s breakfast meals, we set our sights on the newest addition, Singkit New York Chinese Takeout Food. We had some Hoisin chicken, sweet & sour fish, lechon kawali […]
