Life in General: New Work

Since the second half July, I back to travelling daily to work in Makati. Yes I’m working away from home again. Banzai! XD

I watch Facebook pages from companies, games and communities. The have known about this company since 2012. I have applied for the post back then, but I did not made the cut. So, now I believe in “the second time is sweeter”. I like this place it seems that you can be what you want to be here. I just hope my writing skills work well here or at least improve a lot.

What do I like about this place and it made me come back and try to bag the job again?

I’ll list it down for you:

1. The ambiance of the place is really light. Unlike my previous work, that after a month or after the training I find myself dragging my body to work.
2. Dress code: as look as you are presentable. I think this is great as I believe that you work better if you feel comfortable.
3. Work load, it is light. Can be crazy sometimes but you have your team to help you with it.
4. I get to plot my own rest days! Yes, I’m happy about that, although it is kinda hard especially if you are the last one to plot it XD
5. I do not get locked out from the outside world. If you work for BPOs, mobile phones are not allowed inside the operations floor and social networking sites are block. That you only become free for two 15 minutes and an one hour break.
6. We are on shifting but at least the time is fixed. 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., 2 p.m. to 11 p.m., and 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Plus it is not hard to get to work on the said schedule.
7. The people are friendly and since it is a small office you get to know everyone. No, I have not met everyone. I’m just a lurker when it come to socializing. Although, I have been asked to be more open.

After being here for almost a month, I think I can stay here and grow it is the ultimate goal. I just hope my age will not hinder me. I really feel shy about working with a group that has people that  is younger than me. Yes, I feel the age gap!

Excuse me while I pep talk to myself: I can do this! I know that this will be a great for me!

Oh by the way, I think there are still openings check it here:

Food Tripping: Small Spaces (Food Stalls and Trucks)

It is a restaurant with many choices, this is how a food court is described in a joke. It is weird to be having a date there but it’s the company your are with that matters. We have been going to places that are small and yet worth it.

1. Panda Shabu Shabu

We tried the one in SM Megamall food court, not sure if there are others out there XD

It’s pretty awesome that you can get hot pot for less than Php 200. It comes with a cup of rice and if you’re not a big eater you can share one pot with a friend. 

Mixed Pot

2. Rex’ Burger

Located in BF Resort, Las Piñas. This is one burger joint any burger lover must try. Their price range is from  Php 65 (minion) to Php 700 (T-Rex) . I know you are asking what is minion and T-rex; those are the size of the burger. If there was a let down about this place is the fries as we upgraded to large but the fries serving did not feel like it was a large. XD

3. Aguirre Food Park

This place just started last July and is located in BF Parañaque. It’s a vacant lot that has 9 - 10 Food Vendors, some of them are Food Trucks. We tried food from Cheese Steak Stop and Bread Lounge. I was tempted to try something from Truck Bun, I was so curious about the Crispy Adobo Flakes with Kesong Puti. However, steak and pizza was too much for one night XD.

4. Sigsig sa Rada

I’m not picky with the food I eat as long as it is awesome. Sigsig sa Rada is one of those gems in the city of Makati. Sold a JollyJeep in Rada Street. The place is already famous to workers around the area so if you plan to eat there make sure it is not Lunch time, or call in advance.

Sigsig!!!

4. McDards

Looking for something close to Cavite? Then, try McDards! Located in a residential area, near the General Trias, Municipal Hall. They serve -silog. What's their best seller? Chicharong Bulaklak. Gosh, this is making me want to go there now. The place, is really homey, what do you expect from a home that was converted to a eatery? XD

here is a map for you 

I got myself a combo. Tapsilog with Chicharong Bulaklak

This is random, just like me! XD

Marshal Duties: Another Great Day Tour - LiSa In Manila

image from a FB event

Last May a friend opened a chance for us to be Marshals for the Animax Carnival event. It was the same time that she opened the chance to help with the security for the LiSa’s Another Great Day Tour that at that time to be held in the Samsung Hall at SM Aura on June 27. This was something big, it felt like this concert will be a test if we can handle such and if we are successful more events like this might happen.

The call time was 8am, the concert was at 6pm. It was a long wait but it was worth it, it was fun making sure that we have everything ready and secured. By 10am, people were already outside the Samsung Hall in Sm Aura, not sure if that was announce the we will be giving 300 (200 for the premium ticket holders and 100 for the balcony ticket holders) queue number so that they do not have to stay in the hall and secure their place until 6pm. We cleared the lines before 11 or so, don’t really have the time to check time XD

I was asked to secure the food for everyone. It was fun at the same time a bit stressing as I do not want anyone missing their food but I can’t be at the table where it was set so from time to time I would ran to the table and check how many is still there if there was a pair eating, I asked them not to leave the food alone. I think I did a good job for lunch, for dinner though I was not the one that received the food. I was at door 2, welcoming people to the balcony. We were taking turns in eating dinner as it was showtime. I was almost done with my food, when music started playing… I finished it asap and ran to the post I was assigned to as we need to make sure that nobody will be taking photos, recording videos or even recording the audio.

To be honest I do not know who LiSa is (sign that I’m old), so I was surprise with the number of people that came to see her. The VIP or Premium section was almost full I think there were just a few sit not taken. So I was dead on my feet when I felt the floor bouncing. Yes it was it felt like there was an earthquake whenever the crowd would dance or cheer for LiSa. Haha at one point we were told to asked the audience not to jump to much XD

All in all it was definitely Another Great Day! The crowd is pretty much behave and cooperative. I do hope that this event as passed us so that LiSa can comeback with a full band ^_^

Photos here Yes it is just photos of our team and the crowd before the concert
