Korea and Back

It has been months since I last posted on my blog. Been busy for a while. We had a new business with First Sumiden Circuits Inc. located in LISP 1 in Cabuyao, Laguna. We sold around 165 production tables there and also accompanying stainless steel sheets as the table top. Madam is the one who was contacted by this client so she made the sale. Unfortunately for me, I am the one who did most of the dirty job. We started assembly of the tables (the driver, Madam, me and my boss) and hired a few laborers to finish most of the jobs. I was the one who supervised the laborers while she was in the office sitting pretty. The driver and I were the ones who installed the big stainless steel sheet while she installed the small ones. The saddest part for me is that I was the only one who went there to finish the remaining tables that were not yet installed with SS sheet and also was the one who pulled out our materials.

A week after holy week, I went to Korea with Madam and Joy’s brother David. We were sent there to learn more about assembly of the pipe racks. I admit that I was a bit lazy during the last day of the training but it was because the job was boring already. Most of the training in the factory was done by me and David but Madam just stayed in the office during the 2^nd and 3^rd day of our training there. The first day she joined in the assembly work but was in the office during the later part of the day. She said that she was attending to her client’s needs. What? Weren’t we sent to Korea to train on how to assemble the pipe racks not to hang around the office and do some typing job? I think that it is ok for her to do those things but not for 1 whole day.

Climate there is still very cold even though it was already spring there specially when the wind blows. The food is spicy but I can take the spicyness of the food. There are not much place there where you can buy cheap items.

Currently, Madam made me call out new clients which I do not want to do but was forced to. I just do not want to do those things because she wanted me to do it. Hehe. I just emailed our company profile and proposal for pipe rack to the companies who are listed in the PEZA site and got only 1 feedback. If we sell to this company it won’t be that much of a hassle because they buy in parts. We do not need to even cut the pipes for them.

Just today Hanzel and I somewhat talked about putting a franchise of Waffle Wrapps in 168 mall which just 1 minute walking from our house. Franchising fee is about Php 170k to 150k. Maybe if this pushes through I just quit my job and concentrate on this one. But I think it is much better if I still have a job and have this business at the same time. But I think it is a good excuse to quit my current job.
