I think I haven't been this much jologs in my entire life. A few J LO incidences in the past month:
1. Watching Primetime bida from Monday to Thursday (no fail talaga!), beginning from Ysabella (although not a really big fan of it) to Which Star are You From!
2. Having Kering-Keri, Makulay ang Buhay, and Lucky Me! as top of mind songs when asked about today's latest hits
3. Singing "Halik" all of a sudden while working (SHET! haha.)
4. Talking about Big Brother or Deal or No Deal first thing in the morning with my officemates
5. Voted for the PBB Big 4
6. Searched for "Wendy Valdez, Gee-Ann Abrahan, Mickey Perz, and PBB Season2" in wikipedia
7. Visits http://getitfromboy.blogspot.com/ every other day for updated chismis (just in case I missed watching The Buzz)
8. Knows the "adobo burger" and "grilled burger" actions
There are actually a few more J Lo instances but I don't want to further elaborate on them. Haha. Anyway, I have to stop here, Which Star are you From is now on air. haha. :-)

Happy Week
Contrary to my expectations, I very much enjoyed this week due to the following reasons:
- New Laptop = After almost two months of waiting, we finally got our laptaps from the office. In fairness, it's an intel pentium dual core laptop with wifi, bluetooth, memory card reader and dvd rom! I'm happy not only because I can already be mobile when it comes to work, but being the internet freak that I am, I could also surf anywhere I want to now. :) haha. My one year at the office has finally paid off (I guess so.:D)
- Transformers! = Believe it or not, I really really enjoyed watching this movie twice-- yes, we watched it in the moviehouse twice! haha. I love everything about Bumblebee. He's like a guy's barbie in real life (huwat?!) I will definitely watch it another time in dvd. :)
- Reunions = This week is more of a family week because I got the chance to bond with my cousins in different instances. This rarely happens nowadays as we haven't had much reunions lately, but I'm glad to say that once in a while I get to really bond with my cousins. :) Hope this happens more often!
- Cheesecake from our Cheesy Boss = It was touching (for me and for the whole team) to receive a whole cheesecake from our boss. He had a little note on it: "Thanks for being part of my team." I feel more motivated to see that my boss is happy with our performace. At least we know that we're right on track and that he is there to support us. I wish he does not get back on his bad mood moments... I'm praying for that!
- ... And Other Good Things at Work ;) = We were advised this week that we will most likely be having travels abroad during the 2nd half of the year. As my boss could not decide where to bring me, he gave me 3 possible places where I could go for 2007: US, Taiwan, or Japan. Don't ask me why, but I'm really looking forward to experiencing all these travels for work. I would like to know how different it is if you're travelling for leisure and for work. Although we have had our own share of domestic travels, it'll definitely be more tiring and exhausting with international trips coming our way... Can't wait. :)
I hope next week will be a better week for me. *crosses fingers! :)*

Office Birthday
Time does fly really fast.
Tomorrow, June 16, I commemorate my first year in the office. I can't believe how much I've been through in my first year at work! Truly a roller coaster ride, a 360 degree shift especially for a girl like me with ZERO percent background of export sales and marketing. (For those who don't know, I'm a communications graduate working at the export sales department... where's the connection? hehe) A few important things I learned in the past year:
1. Don't believe you know EVERYTHING. When I stepped out of college, I felt like I was superman (or super girl), ready and set to conquer the world. I thought I knew enough things for me to say that people should listen to me, but I was wrong. When I started working, it was as if I was back in school, learning more and more things that I could not get from the four walls of the classroom.
2. NUMBERS matter. It's easy to come up with ideas, but hard to justify if you don't have numbers to support it.
3. "Go lang nang go". As cliche as it may sound, I learned how to keep my determination going and going. To get through problems at work, you have to face it and learn to toughen yourself and be determined to stand up for your problems. I realized that in order for me to get to where I want to be, I should never give up. Go lang talaga nang go.
4. There will always be Sh*tty days. Truly a fact of life. That's why it's also important to take note of my no. 5 learning....
5. Make sure to have time for your loved ones. They can be your refuge after a long day at work.They make sure you keep your sanity intact.
6. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, just make sure that you learn from them. My boss actually encourages me to make mistakes in my first two years at work. You might think, "what a boss!", right? But he actually makes sense. If you don't make mistakes, you won't realize the gravity of those certain things because it won't stick in your mind... That's why you just have to make sure that you learn from them.:)
And last but not the least....
6. Never get in a job just because you have no other option or just because you're "pressured". It's important to think through your offers and make sure that this is what you really want. Don't think that this is the only opportunity you have and that if you miss this opportunity, it will be doomsday for you. At the end of the day, you will still be the one to face the consequences of your decisions.
Happy office birthday to me! :)
