Talking is going to change my attitude?

Let me try to document my work in order for me to get the right perspective. I used to write about the exciting things I do at work but I stopped it because it seems that writing about what I do is actually work, or a redundancy thereof.

The Christmas Day in October

Yesterday, I went to do a factory assessment at a Christmas Decor manufacturer. I have been working for 4 years in the department but I just found out about this company recently. They make suncatchers, christmas ornaments and picture frames out of capiz shells. The  products will make you feel proud and say “Yeah, we really are the Christmas capital of the country”

New Driver, Old Car

Last Monday, we welcomed our new company driver who will be driving our very antique company car stuck in the garage since God knows when. The car is way older than I am. So the odds of the car breaking down is high! And guess who’s the lucky guy who will be riding it. Yes you got that right. It was I. Not to mention, the car broke down…twice.

It wasn’t that bad at all. In fact 5 hours of waiting for it to be fixed gave me some time to think about life in general. Cheesy huh? But it was good. It felt like I just traveled. Strangers helping us. People handing us some tools. Eating at cheap cafeterias. Looking for ATM machines. It’s the same.

Ferrero Rocher and a bunch of appreciation

The moment I asked myself if whether I am appreciated or not, this suddenly popped in. This was given by the company where I conducted a productivity improvement seminar 2 weeks ago.

How Entrepreneurs take our services seriously

2 weeks ago we visited a backyard business who manufactures flowers made from corn husks. It’s a very small business but with a huge heart. When we arrived, they served us fresh organic lemonade juice and some crackers. What hit me is the innocently made poster I saw with their target number of flowers before our fair. The same fair which I am stressing out for weeks. My work is never put in vain after all seeing these people so passionate about it.  

What I did this week (lame post title for the 2nd week of July)

Hello there blog readers, blog followers and blog walkers! It’s been a week now since I last updated my blog and I apologize for that! It’s been a busy week and I MEAN BUSY! I have been visiting the gym every MWF after work making me a bit tired during the night. And work? Gone are the days when I spend the whole day at the office. I’m back on track and back on field, of course with the attached pros and cons to it. Here’s what happened last week (and I hope you are interested):

MONDAY

As I have promised last week, I will be adding up work-related stuffs here. So, last Monday, we launched a Peanut Butter Making facility somewhere in Porac, Pampanga for the micro entrepreneurs. Yes! We are giving away free machines for the purpose of developing your products and to streamline your production process. Just make sure that you are a legally organized group. It is our agency’s mandate to assist the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) of our country. Got to love my job!

TUESDAY

From Porac last Monday, we traveled to Magalang to grant facilities for the Ginger Brew Makers and for the Pastillas Candy makers. It was indeed tiring because we don’t usually launch two projects in a day.

WEDNESDAY is office day. Piled up paper works always scare the hell out of me.

THURSDAY and FRIDAY

To Celebrate the SME Week 2013, we have come up with a 3-day Trade Fair for our MSMEs. It was a very fun day because I got the chance to bond with our exhibitors and not to mention the FREE TASTE of most of the booths. As I’ve said, GOT TO LOVE MY JOB.

SATURDAY (earlier)

My friend who is working as a DJ at a local radio station invited me to become a DJ for a day. Since this is part of my “things to do before I die” list and to take a break from SME works, I grabbed her offer. The experience was hell of a roller coaster ride. At first, I was hesitant to talk, but after a while, I have learned to love talking that I almost took the microphone away from my friend. All is well!

There you have it! I probably have all the excuses on why I wasn’t able to blog last week. Ciao!
