iPhone

So I've had my iPhone since June and I have never fully moved my sim into it for so many reasons.

1. My phone contacts cannot be easily moved therefore I must type each of them on the iPhone.
2. I cannot forward text messages. This is a huge dilemma because of my work in ABAM, i constantly need to forward a lot of messages to different people.
3. Nakakatakot mag text pag nag cocommute.

Now that iPhone is officially here in the Philippines, my iPhone isn't that cool anymore. *sighs* HAHAHA

I searched online that there's a new application that will enable the iPhone to forward messages even to multiple contacts. Finally.

Maybe once i've installed this, I can start little by little into shifting for good. But for now, it's just an iPod and instant camera to me. HAHAHA

Holy fart, there's a white iPhone that'll be available in UK. grrrrrr. I love love love it.
Pero ok lang. Mine's still special as ever coz my dad gave it to me waaay before everyone had it.
I ♥ Daddy.

Weekend work

I decided to stay at home the whole weekend for the following reasons:
1. Austerity measures (a.k.a nagtitipid)
2. Lots to do, gotta start now.
3. Just some good old rest

Allow me to elaborate number 2.
For the past two nights, I have sent numerous emails to suppliers for our feasibility study. I am in charge of the technical study which I believe IS THE HARDEST PART of it. But I'm okay with it, I find the market study hard too, financial study is so out of my league, on the other hand I feel management study is the mildest of them all but still needs a lot of research.

Last night one Philippines-based supplier emailed in response to my inquiry. I was glad he sent feedback but it wasn't exactly what I asked for. He asked how much we needed and that he can send a sample of 2kg of Carrageenan powder on Monday. HALLER DI NAMAN NAMIN KELANGAN. So I thought I'll just ignore it for a while. OMG this morning, at 8 AM, the supplier CALLED ME. I was so groggy, having slept at 4 in the morning already (coz I watched What Women Want, the movie about marketing haha). I had to instantly act very lively and explained to him what our situation was. He was, I bet, disappointed that he wasn't gonna make a sale but I just settled with the fact that Pinoys are just really natural sales people. So ayun, we agreed to communicate via email so that I can include their company in our feasib's database. Half-awake, I forced my mind to sleep again and yes, I woke up at 1 pm. haha

Anyhooo, I mentioned watching What Women Want. Sir Acedera showed us a portion of the movie in class sometime last month. I downloaded it right after but I never had the chance to watch it until last night. I liked the movie, mainly because it's in a marketeer's perspective. Insights, taglines that address the insight, the story/concept boards, amazing. Yay! Sorry if I sound geeky.

On org matters, Congratulations to UP AdCore and to the all-girls team led by Fa for bagging 1st runner up in the ActMedia In-Store Advertising Competition. Yahoooey!

Also, I have to rush a Canon Event. It's set on Sept. 2-5 and OMG it's the last week of August already. Argh! Join the photo contest and win prizes from Canon!

Tomorrow my 172 group shall meet to do two brand frameworks- Wonder and ETC. Gosh, brand framework galooooore. It's really good practice though. But sometimes it feels too much. howell papel, hopefully I put all these to good use and make lots of cash from it. HAHA

Hurray to a productive weekend, y'all!

Mommy Marice tagged me on Multiply. But since I had this account, I never blogged na on Multiply. I decided to take a break from all the feasibness and CEO-ness so here it is!

MEGA TAKAS.

I drove my dad's car today my way to TBS. To be safe, I took Raisia with me so that in case I panic, she'd drive it for me. hahaha I won't elaborate though, coz I might get caught. On my way home though, I forgot to release the handbrake FOR THE NTH TIME. Actually, I released it at the ecopark but I had to stop to drop off Jay-Ar and Chloe so I pulled the brake again. When I waved byebye, I immediately stepped on the clutch and did all that. OMG BUTI NALANG NAKA UWI AKO. shucks, super nakaka nerbyos. Sorry Daddy. Don't worry, the car is safe.

Anyhooo, yesterday it was raining soooo hard we can't even see a few meters farther through raisia's car window. It was THAT hard and I had plans (talaga) to cancel TBS.

When I got home, I prayed and prayed so hard and when Raish and I got to the EcoPark in the morning, we did the sundance. Afterall, there's no harm in trying. Throughout the day, rain clouds went on and off, and it made me so worried that rain might pour anytime. I battled in once, twice, calling unto God not to let it rain, 'not now', I said. I inserted segments of sundance in between my prayers. I tried to stretch my charms with God. Boy did He listen. We've accomplished all our tasks without a single drop of rain falling from the sky.

Looks like the sun dance works? hahahaha Of course, malakas ako kay Papa God. I bet even my mom prayed that it wouldn't rain. She even checked on me sometime while we were playing 'mine field'.

Basta, point is we enjoyed TBS! Here are some highlights.

'Hihintayin kita sa langit' game. hahaha

'Catch me, I'm falling' game

We also had a multi-way tug-of-war. We had 'strategic alliances' pa. hahaha

Project facilitators had their own chance to the multi-way play tug-of-way also. But lots of joking had to be done before we actually played. *inside jokes, hahaha*

And of course, dahil pinagkalat ko na dun shinoot yung movie, everyone else did the sun dance at the Shell Flower Terraces. hahaha Keri lang, una pa rin ako. wahahahaha!

Last Dance Syndrome

Today I went to the La Mesa Ecopark with my directors Kaye and Marc. We did an ocular visit for TBS this Saturday. After paying 20 bucks for the entrance, we decided to walk around instead of riding their electric car.

Guess what I saw...
If you've seen THE movie, you'll realize this is where SHE did this...


HAHAHA! YES. I walked on the very ground that Miggy Montenegro walked on. And sun-danced exactly where Laida did. San ka pa diba? hahahaha!

I'm excited for TBS. After the activities, I wanna go boating, paintball and wall climbing. YAY!


See you there! ;)
