iLove This!
Yahoo!! I have a laptop! This is so cool. iLove my folks! I'm like a little girl who just got the best toy in the whole world. The timing's perfect too. I'm doing my thesis and my brotha just bought a router. I can be online anywhere in the house! This purchase though would mean more expenses for me. I'd have to buy a laptop bag/case, iSkin, mouse and iLife. Knowing me of course i'd want to buy the original stuff. But iDon't have money! Wahhhh!!! I'll get through this! Hehe! Magbebenta na ako ng laman! Haha!
Anyhooo...
It's been a while since iLast (I'm getting obsessed with this iThingie...) blogged. A lot of good things happened. First, there was Eona's birthday / first photo exhibit. Eona is really talented and I'm really proud of her. If only I had money I would have bought one. There were so many pictures there that I wanted but I really like the one with the legs. Ate Erin bought it, so i guess that's fine. I also like the picture that Lolo defined. Hayy.. galeng mo Eona!!! The party was really nice. It was small and very intimate. Based on Eona's really really really long speech. Long but very very entertaining. She could pass up for a stand up comic. I'd pay to be on her show! Just don't forget me when you're famous Eona!
Happenings, happenings..
I've started my OJT last week. We'll be doing a marketing plan for Kissa Papaya this term. We're not actually gonna be doing office work all the time so for our first week, we did storechecks. For Monday, I was able to go to the Makati malls: SM Makati, Glorietta and Greenbelt. Stores like Watsons, SM Department Stores, Shopwise, Rustan's Supermarket are the key accounts. That was pretty cool. For the next day, we went to the wet markets, sari-sari stores, drugstores, small pharmacies in Antipolo, Marikina and Rizal. It was tiring. Unlike the day before, we were walking in air-coniditioned malls so I didn't really feel the heat. Worse, when we were in the wet market, it rained. So we were walking in the stinky, muddy streets. The day after that, we went to the key accounts again in Ortigas. Got to go to Megamall and Shangri-La. After the storechecks, we got to see the promo-girls meeting and the promodizers meeting. The field work really opened my eyes to what's going on in the business. I've a new found respect for sales people, promo girls, promodizers and all the people in between whom the consumers don't get to see and appreciate when they're shopping.
Another fun thing happened to me that week. Since Kris Aquino is the endorser of Kissa Papaya, we got to go to the launch of Deal or No Deal. All the sponsors were invited for that launch so it was a special game. The game we watched won't be televised. I have to say, the game is really exciting. It's based on pure luck. When I watched, the woman who played won P201,000. Lucky lucky lucky!!! Being part of the special audience that the network clearly loves, we got to keep laptop bags. It may not be shock proof but it's free, I took it!
Wednesday last week was Therine's despedida party. Marga, Ida and Abby came. I finally got to talk to Teng after a long time. She's moving to Canada. She was there last year and she knows how to commute..as in take the bus in Canada. And she did door to door selling, tele marketing...all that!!! My gosh. I really don't know Teng anymore, I guess. My picture of her is still the sweet, charming, clumsy and naive girl. Hehe. But all in all, she's still Teng...she's still sweet and charming..a little clumsy, but she has matured a lot. So I still love her..and yes I did cry (I'm a frikking crybaby).. I don't even know why! Haha! Yeahh...I'll still miss her.
Saturday last week, we had the "iv-2 Reunion." Class reunion with only 5 people attending. Haha! It was funny. I've been pressing my dad to go to Manila Pen and spend the night there with my mom that night because I wouldn't want them hearing all the noise that we'd be making. I'd really hateit if my dad sees me drunk with my friends. But no...that didn't happen. I've been texting the girls and they kept saying they'de go. I even arranged the transportation so they won't have a problem going here. But everyone had their excuses and I can't help that. I didn't wanna cancel the party so I pushed through with it anyway. Shi, Cez, Tal, Nina and I had our bonding session. They're my new barkada! Hahaha! We spent the night watching PBB while eating all the chips I bought and drinking gin pomelo and pineapple-Red Horse-gin..oh and yeah the San Mig Light. Haha. We didn't get drunk. We were talking so much about our lives, non-existent love lives, other people's lives and love lives, politics, religion, showbiz chismis local and imported, sleeping problems, dreams, boys, tomboys, girls, family, the future, the past and the present. So I guess that covers pretty much everything. We talked all night til we dropped..literally. Although we planned on taking a swim early morning the next day, we didn't wake up on time. They didn't wanna get dark so maybe next time, girls!!! Hehehe. I had a blast with the girls. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
This week, I got my laptop. Yes..it's very new, very white and very clean. Nobody with dirty hands can touch this!!! If you feel like picking your nose, do it 20 feet away from it, wash your hands before touching it, use hand sanitizer..whatever you have to do for your hands to be germ-free! Haha! The next day, Mom and Dad flew to Shanghai, China. I wanted to go with them but I told them too late. I wasn't able to get a Visa. Aww mehn! So anyway, they'll be back tomorrow. Mom told me she wasn't able to go shopping because they had a tour and it's difficult for them to go around. There's no shuttle and the taxi drivers can't speak English. She said she'll try though. She has to!!! Everything's cheap there! Hehe!
That leaves me to today... went to the office and did "office work." Of course for this week, I was excited to go home to explore my laptop...and I guess this has been a very long entry... I'm really enjoying typing mehn...ENOUGH!! This is driving me crazy! iLove Apple!!! Woohooo!!!
