Chosen One

My 1st month in Samsung and I was privileged enough to be part of the 2005 Strategic Planning that was held in Tagaytay Highlands. I was able to mingle with the top managers of our company together with our CEO/President, Mr. Eom. It was a great experience for a newbie like me. We were able to plot 3-5 key plans to be achieved next year (per division). Joscel, Karen and I were able to share a lot of ideas, plans and goals that made us look forward for 2005.

The place was so relaxing, very conducive to planning as well. You won’t believe this, our company spent P250,000 just for our stay there. Samsung really invests on its people and pushes everyone to grow and be productive. Who won’t be motivated on this kind of perks?

After two days of hard planning, we had this thing called “social night”. It was basically a gimik after hard days work. Too, sad it was just a videoke party which I didn’t find exciting…Yeah, I get bored on gimiks like this...I just had a few glasses of vodka and that made my evening. =)

Check out our pictures…

You might want to read the caption of the last picture then go all the way up to be able to understand the whole picture.

e800 launch

Last night was the 1st Samsung event I attended since I joined the company. It was superb! I was lucky enough to be able to invite some friends to witness the fabulous event which is not possible in H* (hehehe). I’m sure they did enjoy.

flying on its own... w/o any strings, whatever!

I was amazed by the flying phone. Well, everybody did. Imagine, the phone was as big as a car flying up in the air of NBC tent! Mindshare was great, almost all of my non-Samsung phone users wanted to give up their units and buy Samsung instead. Guests were able to take home some swarovski crystal accessories to attach on their cell phones. It was an affair to remember.

Everybody is looking forward on our next event. Hopefully it would be my Laser Printer…=)

the flying phone!!!

dilemma

1) I have DEADLINES to meet. No data available for me to use to do my master plan. But I know I can manage…This is REAL HARDWORK.
2) Samsung V200 cellphone, I don’t know how to use it! I wanted to upload some pics from my phone to my notebook--- I can’t figure it how. I miss my P800…=(
3) I wanted to have facial with my derma, I HAVE NO TIME!
4) I wanted to visit my hairstylist; it’s just in Connecticut… I DON’T HAVE TIME!
5) I need a prophylaxis, again NO TIME!

Arrrggghh!

I know I will have time to do this all, soonER. Hmm, let me check my calendar. Oh my gawd!!! I’ll only be free by MID NOVEMBER! Fyi. This is my 3rd week at work and yet, I’m full of activities! (read: REAL B-U-S-Y)

I miss doing ‘whatever’ pops in my mind…I can no longer be like that. I have to prioritize things, I know. I have to accept these, ALL. Leaving my comfort zone, and not being able to do the things I want AT ONCE for the sake of 'experiencing what I have to experience' /or my career (growth). The same old feeling with my previous job however, I’m much happier now because I love what I’m doing.

At the end of hard days work, this is all that matters--- loving what you do and being content. =)

waaaaaaaah!

What a Friday! It was so traffic everywhere and there was no available parking space left for me. I had no choice but to bring my car in Shell and have it washed just for my car to have a parking slot. Worse, I was 5 minutes late at work!

I can leave my car in Shell for the whole day. Unfortunately, I had to go there and get some documents. Another not so nice thing happened: I had to claim my car as early as lunch time. Shell ran out of space for the other customers. Ok, fine with me...IF ONLY said in a NICE WAY. I got pissed, really! Aren’t they trained on how to give ‘good customer service'??? She totally spoiled my day.

It was so hot outside and I had to transfer my car. Thanks to Carol, she saved one for me.=)

I need a chocolate…
