Happy Friday: CF and OG HR and CMT Year-End Event!



This is my team!
We work hard but we also play hard!
Have you ever been in love with so many people? I would assume yes!
I am proud to say that "I love this Team" -- in lowlights and in highlights-- we all stick together and I hope we will continue to be like this in the coming years!


Also in teams, communication is key to a healthy working (personal) relationship.  When it's work then we all work but when it's time to have fun (and eat) we really play it hard! :)


Good job guys!


To also recognize our team -- our leads have prepared a simple program for all of us!


Clap! Clap! Clap! Everyone!
Continue to deliver and help the team!












Recognizing performance is really an engagement driver and I hope that it contributed to your engagement :)


What's best way to celebrate a great FY16 is to feast and eat!





I told you before that we really LOVE to eat!




Looking forward to another fruitful year with all of you!


PS: A separate entry shall be created to highlight the bowling event + awarding!

Happy Friday: Who is locked with Who?



When do you say you are locked with someone? something?
Was it when you got hooked? got married? got hooked with work? Got a bestfriend?

I say "When you decided to!"

I have been married for 6 years and sometimes people ask me if we ever get into a fight.  Like an intense fight.  I would say "YES" -- BUT -- I am happy to have that with Sweets!

When you say "I am locked with Sweets" - people might initially interpret it as losing my freedom to do anything that I want and vice versa!  

This SHOULD NOT be the case when you say you are locked with someone.

I am locked with Sweets for the following reasons: 

1. We share the same values - we know what we know is right and we fight for it.  Like family comes first and everything else follows.

2. We talk about our differences and how we hate it about each other - being locked up with someone means accepting the imperfections and loving them despite of.  But not letting the day pass by without telling the other person why you got frustrated or angry.

3. We communicate - zero communication is the worst thing to happen in a relationship.  Slowly losing the importance of this C word means slowly detaching from the relationship.

4. We have concensus - being locked up with another person doesn't mean that you have to agree to every word that they say. It means stating your ground, listening to their side and deciding and agreeing as a matured couple on what works best for both of you.

5. We recognize our self worth - means to say that we take care of ourselves and we know our importance as an individual.  We take time to think alone, we take care of our own families,  we meet up with our friends and we take care of our career. Truly being capable of loving oneself means being able to give love and understanding in return.

So, have you figured out if you are indeed locked up with someone?

Where to get the best Inspiration?

Monday again! YES!!! Who said this?

Well in my super old post (Why I liked Mondays) i mentioned there the reason behind this chosen behavior and now I would like to share an interesting thing that i have sighted. 

Normally, in movies or real life office situations, for offices and desks we usually see a lot of pictures on the desk. It can he seen posted on the table or you would have photo frames lines up there just across your line of site.

I am guilty of this, there was a time when i had a white board in front of my desk and i used to pin my family picture there.  Why? I guess you know the answer right! I want to be inspired!  Well now it's gone because i don't have a whiteboard anymore and we need to have a clean desk policy.

What i will share is simply inspiring.. We normally see pictures and frames at office desks right.. If you have a corner roon then most probably it's placed in your wall mounted cabinets or rolling bins.  This one is pretty interesting because he doesn't have a desk or a corner office but he has his dashboard! 



For some drivers i see their pictures in their wallets or their screen shields but this is an incredible site for inspiration. Frames in his dashboard and I was simply amazed by this effort.

It was my first time to see such act of inspiration and i know that for Kuya Driver, wherever his steering wheel will take him, he knows that he is doing his job for his family. 

How about you? Where do you get your inspiration?

Happy Friday: A Reminder!

One time my husband and I was on our way home while discussing some stuff that matters to our lives and then suddenly this.


I zoomed my eyes and took my camera to immediately make this shot.






It was in my phone that I read the entire message at the back of this tricycle and I was in awe.  I totally agree with this message and why do we have to see this message at the back of a tricycle while we were driving a car?


Have we (Sweets and I) thought of this? Us who is capable of buying the things that we want in life?  Have we thought that happiness is inward and not outward??


My point is: In life - we will always want something! Something that we feel will make us invincible or will make us famous.  But have we thought, even for a moment, that the simplest things are those that should always matter and should make us happy? 


What are those simple things that money cannot buy? Here are my thoughts:


1. Your relationship with your family - the memories you've shared together.
    May it be a simple meal together at home, jamming and singing time.
    Simply listening to your mom or dad as they share their stories.
    Helping your siblings with their school or life problems.


2. Doing what you really like to do - your passions! If you want to do journals!
    If you like to be healthy then run, if you like to sing then do so!
    It's a bonus if you love what you do at work! <I AM!>


3. Removing the negativities in your life - no explanation needed!
    We are all old enough to know. *Wink*




Quoting the small text above:


" Beware! Don't always be wishing for what you don't have.  For REAL LIFE and REAL LIVING is NOT RELATED to how RICH you are".


This is an eye opener that I would like to share to everyone.
Happiness is within us an what other people tells us! :)
