working girl?

Last monday, Feb18, I became an employee of Courtesy Point Technologies Inc. with an official title of Account Executive (Sales Manager) in Training. =) I love the "in training" part. Haha. Makes me feel more comfortable with my role because I know I have so much more to learn and I need time before I can be on my own. Last friday I had the chance to see how an official sales call/presentation works. Sir Joaqui (Director for Sales and my mentor) did all the talking and i was by his side taking notes. I got stressed out after because i don't know when or if i'll be able to reach that level of "sales and communication greatness" (with lack of better term to use). I feel like i have long long way to go before i'll be "useful" to the company. That, and the fact that i still have my 190 class and practicum report to finish got me all stressed out. When i feel that much stress my body gives in and i get paranoid with all these kinds of illness. Just this morning my mom and i rushed to the university infirmary to check if i have mumps. But as it turns out, the throbbing pain on the right side of my neck was nothing more than a stiff neck. I felt so stupid but in the end my mom and i had a laugh about how paranoid i got over it. Too much stress can really affect your health but in my case, can cause my paranoia to really kick in. I think i need to find a way to destress...

heaven and eggs


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Ang masasabi ko lang? Alam mo na yun. Hehe.
Hanap na kasi tayo nung sinasabi ko sa'yo kanina sa text. ;)
May nabibili ba nun? Sana yung mura pero sulit. Hahaha!



I also want to share what i made as jozy's write-up for the yearbook. ^_^
Yess.. proud. Haha nde naman.



Still waters run deep…

She may seem quiet at first but don’t let that ‘taray’ perception fool you. Jozelle or Jozy, as she’s fondly called, can crack the funniest jokes and make that great “hirit” with the best of ‘em. She’s a great listener and adviser, truly one of the best confidantes out there. She is a very smart person who can easily find the simplest solution in the most complex of problems.

Jozy has such diverse interests from learning different Asian languages to designing dream homes as an Architect. She’s an Executive Chef that makes killer desserts and at the same time shows her school spirit by cheering the Maroons on during her free time. She may get high grades because of her responsible nature, but she doesn’t forget to have fun as well.

She’s a strong person who will stand up for what she believes in but at the same time she’s mature enough to admit mistakes when she commits them. I am lucky to have met such a multifaceted character such as Jozelle, but even luckier to call her my friend.

end of practicum, chocolate buffet and vday..

The end has come and the start of bum moments begin.. I learned a lot during my practicum experience at Crowne Plaza. I met a lot of really great people and have wonderful moments to look back on. It was hard work day in and day out but at the end of the day i always had a great sense of accomplishment that tells me it's all worth it.

I don't know why, but the end of my practicum was not the "sad" day i pictured it out to be. I was not as sentimental as some people and was more relieved that i don't have to wake up super early the next morning. I guess there's still a lot of other things to think about other than the end of training.

I didn't really have that much of bum moments after practicum because there's still the chocolate buffet to think about. Because we need something to do and in dire need of responsibility to get our mind off the practicum report(hehe), dona and i volunteered to be in-charge of sales and marketing for the chocolate buffet. The job requires a lot of monitoring and takes up a lot of our time. I'm not gonna lie, some people really made our life just a bit more difficult but i guess it comes with the responsibility. Aside from being s&m managers, we also volunteered to be part of the pre-prep group the day before the event. It's funny because i think i had more fun at the pre-prep than at the event itself. It was more unforgettable i guess. The day of the buffet was one big blur in my mind. I had little sleep and i felt like i was sleep-walking the whole day. The highlight of the night was spending time with rusan, steph and joyce and also kuya and kria.

Vday was spent with friends and i had the best time. The day started with a big news that I've been waiting for and a stupid move i tried to cover up by yet another stupid move. Then i went to school to reconcile the payments and other stuff from the choco buffet. After that i had nothing to do so i called steph up. In the afternoon steph, rusan, jozy and i met up at the tambayan to have a vday date at trinoma. We ate burritos at mexicali and spent the rest of the night at timezone. That impromptu trip really made my day. =)
