Christmas is fast approaching and it’s the time of gift giving again. Last Monday, me and my boss delivered most of the gifts that our company has prepared to our customers in the countryside which are manufacturing companies. First stop is Isuzu autoparts, where we delivered 3 wine bottles and a calendar. The Japanese guy is out of the office so we just handed the gifts to their purchasing officer. Next stop is a new client that we are partnering to do some new business with. We just dropped some catalogues and a calendar. Our next stop should be Toyota but our contact person is in a meeting and cannot meet us before lunch so we proceeded to Showa Aluminum in Cavite. They are located near the place where I took my OJT. After dropping the package, we went to lunch at Carancho grill. The place still serves excellent food. After luch, we went back to Toyota and drop off the package. Tiring day it is!
The other day (which is a Sunday) I went to a Christmas/Appreciation Party of H-Star Enterprises which is one of our clients. The venue was in Manila Hotel and would start at around 11 am which was stated in the ticket. My boss and “madam” could not attend so I have to attend. I also ask Joy who to ask to go with me. I was thinking of asking Mon and decided to ask him when I got home but after a few minutes of texting Joy she already asked him and he said that to just let Joy go. In the end it was Joy’s youngest brother who joined the party because their family is invited to 3 different parties and he was home alone so their father decided that Joy accompany her grandmother and her brother joins us. I really should have trusted my instincts on Sunday parties and went there late, I arrived there 15 mins. after 11 and waited till quarter to 12 before Joy’s family arrived and the party started already around 1230. I was so hungry that I made 2 rounds at the buffet table. The party was so so. I met a new potential client for our new business there because of the exhibit H-Star made that also featured our product. I also accepted a token of appreciation on behalf of my boss for the donation that the company has made for a Baptist Church. There were dancers who are scantily clad and singers that entertained us. The dancers are not that good. One singer was good (a professional) while the other is somehow asked by her parents to perform there. They also raffled off around 50 DVD players but we didn’t won even one.
Last night 3 of us (me, my boss and madam) went to the Philippine Iron and Steel Institute (PISI) Christmas party to get to know more potential clients. The food is good but I did not get any seconds because the waiter already took my plate away. T_T
There was also a presenter on electricity being sold based on the supply and demand law. By next year it will already be implemented in Luzon so if we want to save money on electricity, use only at night or on off peak hours.
Madam got an admirer there at the party of PISI. The guy only talked with her and when he found out who my boss was he chatted away with him. The guy didn’t even shook hands with me and exchanged cards, he just talked with madam. On our way home, he called her cellphone but she just hanged up. Bad karma for her. >:)
These parties made me tired upto today. I’m wishing that I could go home early today. I’m really tired and it was first time for me to fall asleep during my lunch break.
