Ten Minute Nap

Sometimes I feel a little drowsy at work especially after taking my lunch. According to some sleep experts, the best remedy for afternoon drowsiness “is simply to take a ten-minute nap”  Some companies in the U.S. have installed napping rooms—with beds, blankets, outdoor pillows, and soothing sounds for their staff, along with alarm clocks set to sound every 20 minutes. Sleep experts cautions that if you snooze too long—say, 25 minutes—you may wake up feeling bad. Once the body gets beyond ten minutes it starts to think that it is night time and the full-blown sleep process starts setting in.  I really believe that this is a good idea so I need to finish my lunch early so I can have my 10 minute nap.

2 Days to Go

Last Saturday, I have to go to our new office in McKinley Hills to check on the transfer of computer units and some office supplies of my team members. All their stuffs were put in a boxes and was delivered by moving freight experts that we rented at 1 in the afternoon. I was there to make sure that all their office equipments are received completely. Each of my team members has been alloted 2 boxes each to put all the things they need in our new office. They used box cutters to open the cartons and unload all those equipments.

Goodbye Makati…

Last Monday, My sister Ivy has already transferred to our new office in McKinley Hills in Taguig City. Today, it will be Noreen’s turn to move. And next Monday, it will be my turn. I’ll definitely miss my stay in Makati and our transfer to McKinley Hills will be a new chapter for my secular career. Having ‘Peep’ around will make it easier for us to go to our new office. Welcome Taguig! Goodbye Makati!

Back to Work

The election fever is over.  No more political jingles, commercials and loud motorcades outside.  No more holidays too.  I’m going back to work today after a long weekend.  I hope could bear all the stresses in the office because I’ve been given additional load from work.   But I can do it. I know I can.  I’m going to the office now. See you later.

New Office Address Soon

On June 3, Friday, we will be transfering to our new office building in Mckinley Hills, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. I will definitely miss my old office in Ayala since I’ve been working there for almost 10 years. The new office will be four times farther than our present office address and that’s one of the reason why we had to invest on a new car. My sister Ivy will move there first on May 21 while Noreen, my youngest sister will transfer the following week. I’ve already made an ocular inspection on the office and it really looks nice and spacious. I will also need to move all my things from my present cubicle to our new office June 3. I think it would be better to get myself mmf drawer where I can organize all my files.  Here we go McKinley Hill.s

Long Vacation

2010 is just around the corner. People in the office are starting to decorate the place in time for their holiday celebration. Although we don’t celebrate Christmas, I’m still looking forward to grocery baskets that they will be giving away to all employees. We will also receive giveaways, corporate holiday cards and ofcourse our 13th month bonus. They will also have their party on the first week of December while we hold our own religious convention on that same week. Biboy will also visit mama and papa in Ilocos on the last week of December. I just can’t wait to have a one week vacation in my hometown.

Looking For An Apartment

We will soon be transferring to a new office building. It will be such a change as the new location will be farther from our home and not accessible to public transport. We’re thinking of finding a new apartment nearer to that place so that it would be easier for us. Time is really precious and I love it that it only takes me 15-20 minute to commute from home to work. I get to spend the precious time with family.

I was searching the net for apartments for rent in that vicinity and there isn’t much to choose from. Condo units dominate the ad space. But we don’t want a condo unit. I want a house not a space inside a building. I’ve spent 30 minutes searching and searching but I couldn’t find anything interesting. I got too bored and before I knew it I was looking at San Antonio apartments. I hope we have something like these in the Taguig / Fort area.

I guess I just have to give up my quest. Maybe the ultimate solution is to buy a car. I’m pretty sure M0rn1ng would be happy to hear this coming from me.

Last Friday’s Good News

It has been a great Friday for me when I heard the news. At long last, the thing that we’ve been waiting for is finally going to happen. I hope that it’s good as I imagined it would be.

I begin to think that patience is really a virtue and one must sometimes persevere to get the things that he wants. Sometimes we must face the adversity and work through it as it is the only way that your hard work will be rewarded.

I am happy because I think it is a start of something good. :) I’ll share it in detail as soon as it has been finalized.

Our Team’s Bowling Event

On July 4, the whole Entitlements Team with Project Backbone buddies trooped to the Bowling alley of Robinson’s Galleria to foster “ONE team” spirit, build relationships, and embody TR values through fun play.

There were 4 teams, each one carrying their respective colors in their creatively conceptualized uniforms. The total stand out is White team in their plain white shirts accentuated by scarves and matching hats. They bagged the Best in Costume Award.

There were 2 set of games and again White Team came off as the over all winner followed by Red & Green teams tied at second place. It was a morning of fun and excitement as each team try to best each other. Some were even surprised to discover that they have a new found talent. The first time bowlers showed up flexible and undaunted on unchartered course. It has definitely strengthened the bond of everybody and has promoted camaraderie and teamwork. We got much of what we need to brace up for the changes that lay ahead: trusty team members to rely on. The pictures tell it all!

Manila TRansformers

dsc_0048.JPGWe have a company event last Saturday. The whole purpose is to inculcate the company values through fun games and play. It supposed to start at around 2 but there were heavy rains and there weren’t a lot of people around. The band kick started the whole program followed by the cheering competition. Then we had some warm up exercises by Fitness First.

The games began soon after. It was slightly different as these were all Filipino games that we used to play during our childhood days. There’s patintero, dodge ball, tug of war and sangkayaw. I’m happy because I used to play these games on the street during my younger years. It brings back happy memories with our neighbor playmates.

Here I am trying to win the race. We we’re so close to being proclaimed the champion. We went through quarter finals, semis and finals. This is the only talent I have when it comes to sports. I’ve never been good at any: not at basketball nor volleyball. I’m especially worst when it comes to ping pong. I couldn’t manage to keep the ball within the ping pong table. But then again, maybe I just need practice.

We we’re all famished at dinnertime and some even had to come back to the buffet table a couple of times. All in all it was a happy event and everybody had a great time.
