Team Dinner at Yakimix Podium

And because I don't have work today, I have free time to post a blog about our team dinner last night. :) 


Last week, a guy came inside the training room announcing that we'll be having a team dinner at Yakimix Podium since we were able to minimize the number of tickets to be processed. He also presented the incentive plans for our team which include raffle of iPhones, iPads, GCs and team outing. I and my other co-trainees were really motivated to close tickets after seeing those incentive plans. Hahaha! We also received an email from the team head (I guess?) that we need to be there by 5:30pm with empty stomach. Hahaha!


Okay, so here's a timeline of what happened after work yesterday. :)

So look at us! At NGA's CR before going to Podium.

 

Upon entering Yakimix, we took pictures immediately!

So here's Dawn, Steph and Alex. :)

Anna, Mitch and me :)

Me, Mitch, Cai, Soy, Dawn, Steph and Alex. We shared the same table for our dinner. :)

Picture with Sir Jay who's also helping/teaching us to close tickets.

This was my plate. I wasn't able to consume all since I am not a fan of maki's.

Mitch and I got this plate for raw foods. But we were only able to eat prawn, ham and crab sticks.

I took a photo of Mitch before eating.

So here's my solo photo :p

This is Cai. She only looks 20 but she's uhmmmm, nevermind. :) And yes, it's a compliment!

Dawn was busy cooking for Steph and Alex!

Group picture!!! :)

Cai, Soy, Dawn, Steph and Alex with Ms. Abi Tengco, our very very nice trainor!

And it's our turn. Artista lang ang peg ni Ms. Abi :)

Kuya in light blue polo was celebrating his birthday yesterday! We were teasing him to "blow" the cake with Kuya in plaid polo :))

While getting my dessert, Mitch took a photo of me with Tere also known as Diana Zubiri. :)

And that's it. My tummy was super full. I guess hindi sulit yung binayad kasi ang konti ng nakain namin. :) Nonetheless, I really had fun! We were also laughing hard before we leave because Steph has done something magical. Hahaha! Also, we were introduced to Sir Jason who I guess, is a team lead or a head of something. Sorry, I am not familiar with the organization structure of NGA yet. Hehe!


I hope to experience more team dinner dates! This will be one of my motivations to work hard and close a lot of tickets! Hahaha!

Unexpected things.

Dress stress reliever,

Hi, I missed writing!!!! I've been busy for the past 2 weeks. Grabe lang. Things were fast. I didn't see myself in this situation right now. Sabi nga nila, "Expect the unexpected." Hay nako. Everyone knew naman that I do not want to work right after graduation. First of all, I wanna rest and enjoy the "last" summer of doing nothing. Another reason is that I have a booked trip at Boracay with my bestfriend, and the supposedly trip to Singapore with my family. And because everything went unexpected, my plans changed. Mom said that we'll just go at SG next summer para may VLs na ko noon. :))

Arinso offered me a job. It was good offer, I must admit. But it was not the offer and opportunity I was after to. I felt like I wasn't ready for the real world. It was not part of my plans! So I was really having a hard time deciding. It was like I was torn between what I want and what my parents want.

But everything changed when He helped me decide. After a night of lifting everything to Him, I felt relieved. I felt better.

Okay, so to make the story short, I started working last Tuesday, April 17. My first day was fun. I easily got friends since my co trainees are nice, as well as our trainor, Abi Tengco. She really is. She's very accommodating and helpful. It's good that I'm on the process of learning. It's fun to learn dba! :) So far, I am enjoying my work. But I get tired with the 2-hr travel time from Bulacan to Manila and vice versa. Thank God I survived my first week. Looking forward to the coming weeks. :)


Btw, this is Mitch. My new found friend at Arinso! :) Sa Starbucks yan, nitreat niya ko ng cinnamon swirl and frap. Hihihi. Sweet niya :)

I'd also like to share about my "self-proclaimed guy bestfriend." I couldn't be thankful enough that I have him. He is literally my stress reliever. Buti na lang medyo matyaga siya sakin makipagusap. May social life pa rin ako kahit paano. Charot! Hahaha. But seriously, I highly appreciate what he's doing. Kinakamusta niya naman ako, how I was, how my day went, what I did at work, etc. Feeling ko kasi nawawala pagod ko dahil sa byahe pag nakakausap ko siya. Medyo sad lang that our conversations would be limited dahil nagwowork na ko. Pero okay lang naman. Sana lang after a year and sa mga susunod pang taon, ganito pa rin kami. *fingers crossed* Kasi last year, meron akong friend (or ex-friend na ba? Hahaha) na tulad niya, na ganito rin kami, but unfortunately, bigla na lang nawala. Nagkailangan na yata. Basta. Hay. Ayoko na maulit yun. Ayoko nang isang kisapmatang pangyayari ulit. I just can't afford to lose someone na nasasabihan ko ng lahat lahat (literal na lahat) about me. Na alam kong kahit sino pa ko at kahit anong gawin ko, tatanggapin pa rin niya ko. Hahaha! And kahit na we have super different personalities, nagkakasundo talaga kami. Because we're cool like that. Hahaha! Hindi ko nga ineexpect na magiging close kami e, medyo suplado kasi ang datingan nito e. Saka parang ayaw makipagclose sa mga babae. Hahaha. Oh well. Iba talaga.
