I got this email from Ms. Mel today. She is one of the Sr. Managers in the HR Management Team and she usually forwards emails that are worth reading. I just thought I should post this because I know this will be an effective way to fight back - without appearing that you intend to do so. Read on..**************************************Someone has just made an insulting remark to you. What should you...

I Love Pink!

Last Thursday, I attended our weekly HR Managers Meeting in Makati. I used to attend it just by calling-in (telecon), but since we did not have our Site Leadership Meeting here at the Techno Hub 10PM that same day, I decided to work in Makati.After our meeting, I gave myself a much deserved treat - I bought a lipstick and a blush. I went to Rustan's to buy a Bobbi Brown lipstick (tulle), then to SM...

It's Friday! Friday is my favorite day of the week since it usually gives me more time to make muni-muni, or to be in a nostalgic mood. I've been meaning to post this a long time ago but been very busy with a lot of stuff at work lately - the merit increases, quarterly bonuses, sick leave conversions, etc. So now that I finally got a chance (and access!) to search for my top 7 favorite tv ads in youtube, I'd like to share them with you. These tv commercials are my childhood favorites. Posting these...

Day 4 - Leaving HK

We left the guest house early, so as not to miss our 11AM flight back to Manila. We could've gotten lost if not for the old couple who told us that the bus stop for A21 was at the other side of the road... We were waiting in the bus stop for A21 going to Hung Hom! We were actually approached by another old woman a couple of minutes earlier but since she didn't speak English, I thought she was trying...

Day 3 - Our Wedding Anniversary! More of Hong Kong

We left for Bus 973 Teminus in Canton Road around 10AM. We passed by Kowloon Park, which is very near our guest house to take some pictures and to marvel at the very clean park - very far in comparison to the parks here in Manila.We then reached the terminus and rode bus 973 going to Stanley Market. It took us about an hour to reach Stanley. The place was really nice - clean and dreamy...Here's our...

Day 2 - Macau Macau!

Day 2's schedule was Macau and all its glory.We left the guesthouse past 1030AM and made it to the HK Ferry Terminal in TST for the 11:30AM ferry schedule. The NWFF ferry was big, and has comfy seats, comfier than the Cebu Pac airbus. Hehehe. It took us about an hour to reach the Macau Ferry Terminal. We exchanged around HKD500 for Patacas (MOP), Macau's currency. Then we chose among the free hotel...
