work

This week has been a good week at work. It was not the most productive but at least I stayed positive about it.



Here's a little preview of what I've been doing for the last two months.

We had two conventions for the month of August. I think these are the yearly conventions, done in the middle of the year because they follow the fiscal year. haha I'm just guessing.

These are pictures from the SC Johnson Convention which was held at Holiday Inn near Robinson's Galleria.

Team building. I had a few acquaintances, and hopefully I get to see them again.


We were the "MR. MUSCLE" team, with orange as our team color. My dad was the team leader.

This picture during one of the challenges. It was taken at the old Dreamscape place, now called Tom's World or something like that..

The theme Go For One was revealed at the last challenge where all the teams work together to form one big picture.

Dinner and awards night at the ballroom.













The Perfetti Van Melle Convention at King's Hotel in Pampanga.

This was an overnight convention with a lot of seminars blah, blah. They also showed the upcoming products for the year. I got to taste a yoghurt flavored mentos candy. Too bad they won't be importing them here.

I didn't have group pictures on this one, mostly candy photography. Please forgive the quality of the pictures, I don't have a digital camera right now. Just using plain camera phone.

Didn't meet a lot of people too, but overall the convention was fun. It was a good break from the "work dramas" that I've been going through.



Yum, yum, yum!








Overflowing candies from the bar!





Oooohh... guess what is this?


This dish is called Cameron, or is it Camaron or Kameron or Kamaron?! haha! I forgot, but it is sort of a cricket cooked adobo-like style.

I've tried this before. No biggie. :p







This one's a new drink! It's a fly-trapped iced tea. The waiters would serve a glass of iced tea, then you will have to drink half of it then catch the flies by yourself.

I've never tried this one, and never will.

New discovery: Flies can hold their breath for a few seconds.










Aside from these two conventions, I also had a little adventure in Batangas. This was the first time I got food from a restaurant that wasn't located at the main highway. I think this is in the bayan of San Jose.

Forgot the restaurant's name but I ordered lomi for take out. The serving was huge. For 35 bucks, I think this is sulit.

















"Lomi" Flat noodles with liver, quail eggs and chicharon. The sawsawan is composed of toyo, sili, fried garlic bits, chopped onion and calamansi.


Just this week, I went to Makro in Batangas City. I finally got an office table for my computer at home. Can't believe I survived two of the most stressful academic terms without a table for my computer.




Now that's better!
