Employee of the Quarter (Q2)

I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you, a big thanks to my Managers-Sir Jerome and Sir Edwin, to my team- 24x7 and to everyone who help me along the way, to my family, and specially to my company- Trend Micro. Thanks for recognizing the work and my contributions.

Sir Jerome:

First of all I would like to thank you, Sir Jerome thank you for “bringing out the best in me”. Hahahahhaaha. joke. Thanks Susan for the quote.

Seriously, thank you for believing in me. I remembered the day when I was interviewed by you, Sir Norman and Sir Eumir. I never expected that I will be hired by because of the high qualifications for the position.

I still believe that I will never be in this position without you, our team with 24x7 whom continuously supporting, helping, pushing me to my limits, challenging and showing me new opportunities everyday which makes me the best that I can be.


Hi Sir Edwin,

Thank you for the support and accepting me in this team. Though there are still more things I need to prove to be worthy with this recognition.

I know that I am still new in this company and more things will come as days, years will come but I believe that as long as the company believes in me I will stay and will give whatever I can do.

I am really grateful being part of this company and for being one of the elite members of 24x7 team.

Ang “ Galing Mo Trend Labs”!

Maraming salamat po.

Living alone

Lately I spent my entire week in the office and went home during weekends. I sleep in the condo provided by our company. I am now experiencing to live alone and be independent. To eat alone, eating fastfood, food in styro, etc. Staying late in the office, doing cases, watching movies, browsing online, chatting, going out with friends, swimming, reading books, studying and a lot more. Most of the time I spend my whole day in front of my computers.

Sometimes I miss my family so there are times I go home on my third or second day. All my siblings are working and one have family. My parents often times in the province so I choose to stay in the office. At least I have my freinds to cheer up on me.

For the past weeks, me and my friend swimming at night though I do not know how to swim. I have problem when it comes to water. I am afraid to get drowned, afraid because often times water goes inside my nose. I am shy naman na magpa turo. hehehehe. Ang laki kong duwag. But my real problem, I still have no guts to do it even if they are willing to teach me. Hehhehe. Thats all.

Hook with the Davids

Suddenly I become a fan of the two Davids of American Idol season 7. I was not able to watch all there performances because I was busy at work. Just wanna thank the power of the internet and youtube and I am able to watch there performances. When I first heard the voice of this young David Archuleta I know that he can be at the top though my support was with our Pinay contestant- Ramiel Malubay. When she was elliminated my vote goes to the young David. I know that David Cook have an edge because of his rock image and his karisma which will help him to win. When news came out that these two will compete for the finals still my vote goes to David Archuleta however if I am going to consider the experience, to sell the person, money as usual, they would definitely go with David Cook. So, as expected- David Cook won. No problem with me. Either of the two deserves to be the next American Idol. At this moment I am hook with these two artist for they are both talented, gifted and very good singers. Goodluck!

Second round for Home Building Program

I am so lucky to be once again be part of home building Prgram last July 30 - August 1, 2008 of gawad Kalinga in Batangas. We were total of 43 participants, 2 Filipino volunteers and the rest from Taiwan students and from Los Angeles US students.

Despite it was raining on our three days in Batangas we still continue to build houses. We play with the kids, we interact with the parents and enjoy every minute of our stay in the build.

"Smile" and "Never Give Up". These were the words from the son of our CEO- Victor Chang. These are very easy to do but very hard to do all the time during the build. Compare to the people we were helping, despite of their life conditions they keep on smiling and never give up with their life. So with with these, we should do the same during the build. I am so impress and very proud of beng part of his father's company for I know that I am on a very great company. My dream is to make this company listed on one of fortune 500 companies in the world. I believe it will be for the people handling with this company are very great.

I saw what kind of Manager we had in this company through Victor. He think fast, he were able to manage the people, motivates in times when we were tired in our work, reminding us to smile, very good with people relation, good speaker. Although we know he can have almos everything because of his life stutus, he doesn't care if his hands get dirt during the build. You can see that he love what he is doing. Great man!

Days past by so fast. I really want to stay and join them on the other build site but our schedule is up to Friday only. But I really enjpined my stay. I did everything I can do during the build. as local volunteer, I become the point of communication- translator for the locals and the foreign volunteers. I tried all the work. Mixing cement, gathering stomes, carrying cement, blocks, digging the soil, carrying soil, sand, gravel, paiting, playing with the kids, intracting to the benificiaries and to all the people on the build. I did those things because these are things I wanted to do and the reasons why I joined the program. It bring smile, makes me more as a fulfilled person. I bring happiness and people appreciate what I am doing. I really love the feeling and hoping I can join again.
