People we can smile about

I love it when people do their job right. I remember one of the things Mr. Jim Lafferty taught us. 

If you accept a job, do it properly. You have no right to complain because no one forced you to accept it.

Today I was at the mall again. I planned this day to be the second leg of my shopping 'spree' as well as a salon day. I googled for salons in Trinoma and found one with so much rave so I got excited to try it. (more of this later)

It was a normal day except for 4 people who made an impression.

Landmark Lady

It was a windy morning and the sun was shining. I got off the FX and crossed the street from McDonalds to the entrance of TriNoMa. I was beside this lady in uniform. Being the mall rat that I am, I recognized she works in Landmark because of her uniform.  While we crossed the street, she looked at me and said 'maki payong ka, mainit eh.' I smiled and said 'ay, sige okay lang. (I meant it's fine, I can deal with the sun) She stood beside me and shared her umbrella. A few steps later the wind blew the umbrella and it flipped. So she had to close it. It was fine coz we were really near the entrance so we wouldn't need it anyway. I said thank you and then she walked briskly to Landmark.

WWF Volunteer

I walked around and checked different stores when I passed by the booth of the World Wildlife Fund. This bubbly girl approached me and said 'Hi, Sorry to bother you but don't worry, I'm not selling anything. I just need two minutes of your time to save the Earth.' I smiled and said 'Meron na ako nyan.' She replied 'Oh, you signed up already. Great!' Tapos nag high five pa siya. hahaha Well, I feel bad coz really I didn't sign up for WWF. I confused it kasi with Green Peace so I blurted out I already have that. Not that I have Green Peace also but my mom and brother has so I think it's transitive. haha Sorry! next time I'll sign up na. hehe What amazed me was she was so enthusiastic about the job. Kita mo talaga na she has this will to really help save the Earth.

No Curfew Man

I visited No Curfew also because I have been eyeing their Lego watches for a very long time. I decided to check it out. Sakto naman, this guy was fixing the Lego shelf so I asked him how much, if they have the connectable watches, etc. He was very generous with his time. I really appreciated it. I hate it when the store people treat you depending if you look like you're a buyer or just someone looking around. To add to that, he was also cute! yehey!

The Cut Master

I was originally scheduled to get my haircut done by Mr. Narry of  Acqua Salon in Trinoma. The receptionist told me to come back after 30 minutes. Well, I came back at a latter time so there was a client who was scheduled next for Mr. Narry already. I signed up anyway since I really wanna try the salon. A lady entered and was greeted by the receptionist. Turns out she was another senior stylist in the salon. I was told she was gonna do my hair. It was fine with me but it made me just a little sad because in the blog I read while searching for a salon, the writer was all praises for Narry. Anyhooo, I still went with the haircut. Ms. Tessa was very nice, she assessed my haircut and said the layers were to high for my wavy hair. She even asked where I got my haircut. So ayun she sort of critiqued the cut, gave me tips to keep it tamed but still low maintenance. While cutting my hair, I felt she really knows what she's doing. She was very careful with the cuts, she even demonstrated how the layers should look. Her assistant, the one who shampooed and blow dried my hair was also very nice to me. She's ma-chika in a good way. Basta, kakatuwa. hehe I think I'll bring my mom there in July.

Wrap up! Here's what I think about these people. They all did their jobs pretty well and I am so glad there are people who really do what they're supposed to- and they do it gladly. Service beyond expectation- literally.
