Last Friday, our volleyball game finally took place. We have invited some outsider teams to join us playing. I did not expect somebody whom I have not been in good terms with will play with us through one of the teams. I just do not know why I am this uneasy at her. Merely looking at her face makes my blood rises. Maybe she should always come with a mud mask so I will never distinguish that it was her whom I am playing with. I am sorry but I just cannot forgive her, maybe eventually but not yet today.
Yes, I am happy with it. I know a lot of them are very much disappointed about the incentive that we have received lately but it was more than I expected and I am thankful indeed. In the first place big or small, still it is a blessing. It will help me somehow and of course my family will be equally blessed as myself. Even though we are facing different kinds of challenges everyday, everyday is a blessing. As simple as waking up in the morning is always a gift which we must be grateful about because He has given us another chance to live and enjoy life.
Because I was really busy in the past weeks I never had enough time to think about availing of the shares of stocks offered to employees. Last day of submission of the reservation form when I finally decided to grab it. I thought that just like any indexed annuities it will give good returns though it indeed bears some risk. I am just looking at the positive side of it and expecting that at the end of five years it will earn more than I am expecting. Hehe! For some it is a sort of gambling but for me it is an investment.
Virgin Resorts at Laiya, Batangas approximately 120kms. away from Cavite. There is where our company outing was held last May 05, 2012.
Far really it is but the fun is simply irreplaceable by anything else. Why? Let me tell you.
THE VENUE
Not the whitest sand (off white maybe) people are expecting but with the beautiful shore line. Beautiful simply because it is clean. The water is so clear as well. You will not worry about some sharp scattered rocks or any dried leaves spread on the coast. You will enjoy a kind of beach with spotless beauty really as if a virgin never been touched by the cruel hands of civilization.
THE SET-UP
One word – organized. You will never be bothered about not having one to be your refuge. The cottages are more than enough for more or less a thousand employees. Credits to the logistics committee for such a nice and comfy set-up.
THE FOOD
It is like you are in a huge party where you can see those stainless food servers with food set just right for the occasion. It was elegantly designed. The taste??? It will take you away from being ravenous.
THE PROGRAM
Cool and entertaining. Contradictory to the heat of the sun, you will really freeze from laughing so hard just because of the comedian hosts Onse and Wacky Macky (from Sitcom Comedy Bar) who were instantly voicing their sense of humors out the natural way.
THE BAND
High Octave – really high in energy. Groovy, with good vocals whom can take your feet out to dance.
Needless to say anything negative about the event. What is important is that we enjoyed the day simply because we made a choice to be happy.
And I will be sharing the happiness with you thru some of our photos taken from the place during the event.
Congratulations Big Time to the organizers!!! You deserve some recognition for the hardwork.
Three more days to go and it’s gonna be another fun experience! This year’s company summer outing will be held in Virgin Beach at Laiya, Batangas on May 05, 2012. Hope I can get something like free coupons so I can take the kids with me. Hihi! But of course, I am perfectly aware it is exclusive for employees. So it was just an illusion of mine.
Hmmn… Am I excited? Maybe, for one thing. I love volleyball and I love beach as well and I wish my friend would be able set-up a beach volleyball in there. I won’t care about the heat of the sun as long as we can play. Yuhoo!
There are times in our lives when we will greatly be challenged. Suddenly it is as if you are being pulled apart simply because you are being put into test by the situation.
It is as if you thought you are at peace and perfectly okay then somebody’s attitude will try to blow you away. Well, I guess it depends on how you will entertain the thing.
It is as if you thought that you enjoy all the convenience of your current situation until somebody will offer you something really tempting. Should I go for the title which denotes career growth and bigger compensation or should I stay and keep waiting while enjoying the comfort of simple living?
It is as if I need signs as I need to consider some things before I came up to a decision.
Last Thursday, I get hold of the onion chopper I ordered on-line. I was a bit of excited to use so I immediately tried it in the evening when I prepared our dinner. I usually look for kitchen products in on-line deals and there are times when I also avail of some personal grooming services. I never knew that there is something like tax services which I can found in the internet as well such as tax services. Now I am thinking if I should avail of something like h&r block coupons to assist me in my financial undertakings. I guess it would seem absurd as I myself is a financial course graduate. But why not? I guess it is not forbidden.
On Monday, April 23, 2012 I have three commitments. One is to attend the annual strategic planning of Environment, Health and Safety committee meeting. The second one is to attend an in-house training conducted by our colleagues within our team. The last is to facilitate a discussion through conference call with our business partners in Japan and India. whew! Looking forward to a tiring day!

Last April 14 was the baptismal day of Coline – a baby girl of our friend Eric whom hubby was asked to be one of the Godfathers. We never had the chance to attend to it because of the earlier commitment hubby and I have made. We were not able to hand over our gifts as well. I have chosen a present from RedEnvelope toddler gifts and I am pretty sure that any toddler would love it. Maybe we can just give it on hubby’s friends next gathering. I know they have been planning for another party which can be attended by the whole family.

Lately I have been noticing some negative traits in some of our colleagues in the department. There are these people whom acting like they own the team or acting really very bossy just because they have been employed in our department ahead of us. Just as to avoid any disagreements or discussion to that effect I just moved away from them. I temporarily transferred to another seat as I know my self very well. I will not let myself to be stepped on by anybody else but I know how to get away from trouble.
