last night i had my coffee at Starbucks Harbour Square Manila. We were four my friends from davao and our professor during our graduate studies. I was a bit late since i had to finished my dinner first and damn the road to the Harbour Square was so jammed with cars. It was because of a fucking damned Pacquiao concert( i can’t imagine a boxer who held a concert). Oh well, so then i manage to be at the rendezvous point at 10 past 10 in the evening. So as a punishment, i gave my starbuck sticker to my ex-professor who was waiting for me for an hour. Just to complete his card which needed 3 stickers more, he robbed me and my friend our stickers which supposedly was intended to fill my card also. Then in the end, he was able to claimed his own Limited Edition Starbucks Planner 2007! waaaaaa i was droolling while looking and touching the planner. It was so beautiful, unlike the last year. Well i will one soon, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I need 3 more stickers! Here are som pix of the Harbour Square.

next week target: Startbucks planner

it was almost 3 weeks now since i’ve been into this Starbucks Planner Craze. They had this project called "Strabucks: SparkHope". It was a partnership with UNICEF that provides sustainable early learning programs for underprivileged communities in the Philippines. And for a person’s name to be included in the list of SparkHope donors for 2006 and to receive a Limited Edition Starbucks Coffee 2007 Planner, each individual had to collect 21 stickers which is a combination of 9 stickers fo any featured Christmas Beverages and 12 stickers of Starbucks Beverages(with some exceptions). As of now, i currently have 16 stickers. I had completed the 12 stickers of Starbucks Beverages and 4 stickers for featured Christmas Beverages. I need 5 more stickers to get a hold of my Starbucks Planner. I can’t wait to get one. I hope i could complete tonight of this weekend. emoticon

food for the brain

some quotations i got from a 4 hours talk of different personalities related to HR. Well it’s also worth thinking about them. Give it a try!

You are force to do things that you don’t like.
Have you been working for your company?
You cannot push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb himself.
Why is it that we always deduce that success is God’s blessings?
Associate yourself with someone who can inspire you to work and will make you to deliver the results. Don’t work with someone where you can’t learn anything.

mom is gold

today was mom’s birthday. she’d already turn gold(coz she’s 50 years old already). when i woke up this morning(at around 6:00) the first thing i did was to call mom and greeted her a happy happy birthday. she was totally awake at that time.. well she always woke up early together with "tatay"(dad). well we had a short talk, i asked her plans for today, wha’t she’ll gonna cook, whom did she invited for her small party… ehehe we ended talking on the phone at around 6:20, i had to cut our conversation since i had to go to the shower and get ready for the office… i still had my breakfast waiting for me at the "karenderia".

a reward for hard work

Yatto!(finally) Me and my Brother’s 1 year plan had been realized! It has been our dream to have an additional investment to help our family with our finances. For the amount of 80 thousand pesos, we were able to buy a second hand but in good and working condition jeepney. Aside from the house and lot my brother bought this year and the 200 square meters lot i bought too(though is not that big) at least we’ve seen the fruits or our labor in just 1 year…. congrats to us! and we will surely work hard for our next big plans.. ehehehehe here’s the jeepney when we bought it… soon we will be pimping it by next year like MTV’s Pimped My Ride.

mom is turning gold

Tomorrow my mother will be 50 years old already. (damn! i’m old already) She has been reminding me since last Saturday not to forget her birthday. emoticon

That’s November 22. And it falls on a Wednesday. I still don’t have some present for her… my pay will be given on Friday. What should i do? Ah.. maybe i’ll just give my present on December when i’ll go back home to Davao. But i think turning 50 is a very important turning point on a person’s life. Coz your halfway to 100! And man’s life span now is at the average of 80 or less… Only a few reaches 100 or more than that, only those who were born when industry had no conflicts with mother nature. hmmm Our youngest brother had already sent mom a present last Sunday. I don’t know what will my other brother would give her. Nah.. a greeting would be enough.. i’ll probably call her and wish here more birthdays to come and stronger body and good health..actually my mom doesn’t look 50 aside being small in height but her face doesn’t show it. Jaa.. i will just tell her to put all here birthday wishes on a list and send it to me.. i can probably do something about it( i should or else…).. eheheheh emoticon

Happy Birthday Mom! I Love You!

a box full of thanks

Last Monday(Feb 6) at exactly 11 AM. I was caught by surprise when Ryerod hand me over a big yellow box with a blue ribbon around it. " I got a present!!!!" wow… i was so happy then, at last i got a present. So i ask Ryerod what for was the present and who was it from. Well to my surprise it was from my ACTION 5-Cebu trainees. They were so sweet… i never expected that they would be giving such gift.
It was not my birthday nor a promotion in my work. jaa… so i open my gift..i was quite excited and was wondering what were those brats(joke) has something for me…ehehehehhe i was so careful unwrapping it.. first i remove the blue ribbon tied firmly around the box, then i snapped the tape on the other end of the box and slowly pulling the box out… then i place the box on top of my table and slowly opens the cover.. wow.. it was amazing .. there were a lot of stuff in it…
i picked the card first which was on top and put it aside first.. then picked a wooden frame and a wooden stand… i was thinking what was if for.. and when i turn the wooded frame up.. i saw those cute faces of my trainees… it was their graduation picture.. with me as their trainer and their Nihongo senseis..
their were lots of big smiles and happy faces… then i felt that i truly miss all of them…(mushiness.. )well i haven’t seen them for almost 12 months now..
so i manage to assemble the wooden frame and stand… so there’s my ACTION babies on top of my desk… so that everytime i work.. i would somehow glimpse at it and it drew a beatiful grin on my face…
but there’s more.. so i looked into the box and found a green plastic bag… and when i peek inside it.. it was a T-shirt.. a souvenir T-shirt from Cebu… they were so sweet…
after that i looked again inside the box and found another small box in it..
i was thinking that it was something fragile… and when i opened it.. it was a beautifully designed mug… why was it beatiful.. well all my trainees had their faces on it..wow…. they were so great…
so everytime when i drink on it.. i would always see their smiling faces..(just like now)…
so after that.. i got the card and read all their messages(i don’t if it was a bluff or not)… if i was a girl.. i would surely felt my tears falling on my cheeks… ehehhe but hell im not.. ehehhe the messages they had for me was so sweet and so touchy…
it really feels good when someone remembers you of what you did to them.. and would say "thanks for everything"..most were thank you messages… lots and lots of thanks messages.. even those who were working in Japan never forgets to send their messages… well i felt good and happy that day… it really brigthens my day….
i was so proud, glad and happy of my ACTION babies.. they were so great…

jaa, honto arigatou my ACTION babies.. emoticon

Though he has a few posts as a starter but damn! he’s good. All his write-ups were soooooooooooo amusing! As soon as i start reading his posts, slowly i a big grin was painted on my face. I was laughing while reading his posts. It was a good laugh. I immediately congratulate him for a job well done! And then he replied, "na inspire ko sa imo sir! "(you inspired me sir!)… gosh! emoticon (good that i influence others) wakekekekeke gee thanks… but honestly he’s far better than me… he’s very good.. why don’t you try it?… it’s a good medicine…

slowly motivated

today was a very hectic day for me, aside from the strong pressure everytime my boss is here in the office and a lot of things to be done for the day, i was able to cope up with it. In fact i was able to finished and complete a not so many tasks today. At least i had done something. I felt some energy inside me. I did haven’t felt any boredom or laziness at all. I was on the go today, my brain was working properly. I guess i had surpassed the crisis of being discourage and unmotivated. My morning was good. I started working at around 7:30 until 12:10 not noticing that it was lunch time already. I had a good lunch, especially when your eating with your friends. Nice chit-chats and some jokes. Lany did buy us a half gallon of ice cream(Chocolate Mousse).. it was her birthday today. Work resume at 1:00 pm and never ended until you dropped dead or your brain doesn’t work anymore. At thins moment, my brain was exhausted and overworked. It had think of a lot of things, processed a lot of useless information, and digest unthinkable ideas. Though i had a deadline to meet, it’s not wise to abuse myself. I had a life to live. And i intend to live longer as i can. emoticon
