The HSBC Staff on their team building company activity

The WEBOSS Ground Extreme Paintball owners gathered together to the first general board meeting this year and the place I recommend them is the Bigby’s Café and Restaurant in SM Northwing Cebu. The occasion is quite successful because 99% of the board is present plus everybody I believe enjoys the food and the meeting is well organized following the agenda. I mark this occasion because aside from this is the first meeting of the owners this year, it is also the first time for the group to hold the meeting in a cozy restaurant like Bigby’s and the treat is on a ‘company expense’.. hehe… It is amazing to see these young entrepreneurs who ventured into this kind of gaming/entertainment business and see how each of the owners learned the hardship and challenges in the business environment.

I have two things to recommend for this occasion: one is to play paintball with your friends, officemates and even family members and surely play it in WEBOSS Extreme Ground Paintball and the second one is take your food trip after playing in BIGBY’S. I love the latter’s “wild-wild west steak and gravy”, its my favorite but of course you can try a lot more, what WEBOSS tried in this meeting is Bigby’s Food Trip platters, and what I love in the former is that paintball can relieve your stress from work and even from school, most of WEBOSS returning customers are professionals, students and call center agents.

Occasions like birthdays, sportsfest, family outing and company team building can be celebrated in WEBOSS Paintball, you can visit their website at http://www.weboss.ph/ for more info. It might be painful and messy when you are hit but base on my interviews with some of the gamers, the pain doesn’t stop them from playing because it is simply enjoyable and fun!

Then after the game, your friends can go on a food trip! It will be an enjoyable occasion indeed!

My Wallet

March 31st, 2009

Friends need to constantly communicate with each other in order for friendship to survive. Even how busy and hectic our schedule is, a simple text message and short snack time together helps a lot to maintain the relationship. Meeting with my friends over dinner after work or even a short chit chat over snack time even if our offices are miles away and still spend effort to meet, is always an occasion for me to cherish. My ordinary day will always become a special occasion every time my friend and I exchange stories and laughter together.

A very good and sweet friend of mine shares a very special time with me yesterday, our meeting was short but it indeed rekindle the lost time we did not see and talk to each other. And she is the most generous friend I ever got, I am so grateful to have her as a friend. I am surprised when she handed me a new wallet as a gift from her Hongkong trip, I’m so happy at the same time very touched for her sweetness. My Girbaud wallet needs to be replaced really although it is still useful but it is no longer presentable and having this new special wallet in my bag feels me so good. Honestly, this is the best gift I ever received from a friend, I will treasure this wallet as much as I treasure our friendship :) .

Thank you “dear”, you are not just beautiful outside but also in the inside. One Jewish saying says that “who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure”. A friend like you is always a precious gem… hard to find… difficult to part with and treasure forever. I’m so lucky… I found you! Love yah!

My Desk

Today is one of the ordinary occasions at work where I need to review all my pending and in progress projects and tasks. I might be just sitting on my desk for most of my working hours since I don’t have any scheduled meeting in my planner at this point. This is an opportunity for me to go over and review my projects and create documentation and sort all my flagged emails.

I set myself to concentrate on my backlogs today and work harder and forget about the pressing events at work these past few days. I wanted to be just in my desk doing all the day’s work since I’ve been away most of the time from my desk this week, I hope there will be no emergency meetings…

My desk is one of the beautiful place in the office for me… hehe.. even how crowded it looks, but this is the place where I feel so calm and relaxed amidst the pressure at work.

Recession – the sad occasion

February 11th, 2009

Worldwide recession is becoming so vivid now even from looking into my own wallet. As far as I remember this is the first time my hubby and I eat and share to a 1 order of Jollibee spaghetti. I’m laughing because when I checked on my wallet, the money I have won’t accommodate a 2 order… hehehe… But anyway, that is not the main part of this very sad occasion.

I feel so sad after I realize that some of my officemates are getting retrenched, even how Management tried to hide it, the atmosphere will still continue to reveal it. I heard of big companies forcing to retrench a hundred to thousands of their employees, others reached to the point of closing it. Millions of people lost their job without having a time to prepare. So sad that I told myself, that I am still lucky that I still have my job and I don’t have the right to complain and complain for a benefit that is not duly given, for a low salary, etc… because anything can happen.

Yes, I also fear to lose my job, but one thing for sure, God will always make a way, He will never leave me off handed. This is a very sad occasion I blogged so far but this is also the best occasion to thank God for my job and for the continued blessings He showers upon us. There’s always hope, it’s not yet the end of the world, let’s do something to survive and believe.

Gwen’z Sandwich – Yummy!

There are times you need to express little ordinary experience and make it extraordinary. I have to rush so I won’t be late from our “Manager’s Meeting”… I need not to be late since I just joined the department and I want to give a good impression. Being a part of Management team is not easy huh.

So why is this day a very special occasion to me? Because aside from this is my 2nd meeting as a Project Manager, it is also where I got a chance to share my favorite sandwich to my co-managers. I am one of the sponsors to cater snacks during the meeting and I personally recommend “GWEN’Z Sandwiches”.

GWEN’Z Sandwich is base in Makati and is growing in Manila and has its first and new branch in Cebu, Philippines located in Cebu Doctor’s University Canteen. They serve grilled or cold gourmet sandwiches with very delicious fillings and with fresh vegetables… I won’t celebrate its taste if not true. GWEN’Z will soon hit Cebu and attract healthy conscious people from different walks of life.

Go grab and taste one, visit their website at http://gwenzsandwiches.110mb.com/index.php
