Fun Run and Turtle Neck....

The weather this morning is fine so I was about to jog sana for a few rounds. I’m already on my jogging outfit when I saw uniformed runners are making their way in front of our house. Nyek, me Fun Run ata, di ko alam today na pala yon. So I grabbed my camera and took some pictures of them.  

Nakakatuwa, some kids are also present with their matching uniforms. Some are walking na while the others are so energetic naman. Me nagbibigay rin ng water on one side of the street. 

Pano ako tatakbo? Makakagulo lang ako kaya nanood na lang muna. 

Mister   : Dapat nakatawa sila lahat…

Me         : Kasi Fun Run kaya dapat talaga nakatawa?...

After 20 minutes I took a shower na and dressed. Since malamig ang panahon, I decided to wear my turtle neck black shirt and my eldest daughter said…

N : Me snow? Me snow?

O kitam, ke babait kausap ano?

Happy Saturday to all!

Magazzziiines...bow wow wow!

I’m currently hooked reading back issues magazines nowadays. Why the old one? It’s cheap, half of the original price, laking tipid but still informative. Plus when my kids need cut out pictures for their assignments at school, I don’t feel hurt slashing pages for them.

Before, I used to buy mags about fashion, housekeeping, home ideas, recipes and tipid tips. I love home decor ideas and how to organized clutters at home. You see, when you have three kids in a row you can imagine how messy your house will get. Of course I let them do all their stuff, it helps them to enhance their imaginations and skills but when they are finished with their work, that’s it. Rambol na ang mga gamit.

Back to my magazine issue.

These are my collections of it. Me health issues din and pang sports. Very useful and entertaining. 

May 2013 issue, and August na ngayon kaya I consider this as old na rin hehehe...

These are naman the mags that I used to cut pages for kids. I still keep them for future use.

And now, pang business naman ang binibili ko since last week. Feeling ko andito ang answers to all my prayers na yumaman, hehehehe, feeling lang.

Kaya Booksale, thank you sayo. Aside from it helps me to sleep fast at night while reading, it gives me a lot of opportunities how to stay in shape, business ideas, release stress, recharge my mind and refresh tired souls. Dig mo ba?

Enjoy reading, guys!

Ang Canteen…bow!

We were grateful to have a canteen inside our plant. It’s been almost 8 years since it started that we are able to eat good food with it. We don’t have to prepare baon and bring in foods because the canteen already has a variety of food to select. 

But as time goes by, nag deteriorate ang canteen.

she said: luge ako, we said: mas luge kami

Most of the time there are only two menus available at lunch, or there’s a shortage of cooked rice during break time. And the worst we experienced is no food at all.

Nakakainit ng ulo, di ba?

Especially to those workers who is into shifting schedule. You see, they worked all night long lifting large boxes using their powers and sweat big time. They are the hungriest people on earth…chika lang. 

Basta sila yung taong need ng food lalo na sa gabi at wala ka ng mabibilan pa.

Anong nangyare, ate?

These are some of my thoughts why businesses like this go down.

• 1.     Owners didn’t control his expenses according to his daily living. In short, kumita lang nagbibili na ng kung ano anong unnecessary things. Bagong gadgets, shoes, damit or kotse. You can buy a car but you must think also that it should also be used in business like van or a multi cab or tricycle muna. Of course, sino bang me gusto ng bagong gadgets, lahat tayo, but still you should know how much money do you have and how much ang dapat iwan sa store para mai revolve mo yung needs. Or kung talagang kating kati ka sa bibilhin mo, yung cheapest ang titigan mo wag yung mga iphone iphone na yan. Makontento ka sa bangke-bangketa muna. Wala ka namang dapat ipag paporma dahil im sure basing basa ka ng pawis pag nasa canteen ka.

• 2.        You should not buy groceries at Malls. By golly! Dapat dun sa sa wholesaler like Puregold and in palengke wherein good finds are affordable and cheap. Makakatawad ka sa wet market. Konting kindat lang ke manong tindero, bibigyan ka nyan ng malaking discount. Suki na ang itatawag nya sayo. Pag wholesale naman, laking discount din. Meron pang mga promos yan at mga raffle raffle ek-ek. Sasakit nga lang kamay mo kaka fill up ng mga raffle stubs pero malay mo manalo ka naman ng brand new flat iron etc.etc.

• 3.       Be friendly, maalalahanin, pa cute, makwento, kwela and entertain your customers well. Pano kung sobrang taray ka, ikaw pa ang marunong sa bibili. Malamang hagisan ka ng granada ng gutom na gutom na empleyado at kainin ka ng buhay. Pag me mga occasions like Valentines, effort effort lang bumili ng choc-nut at red roses at ipamigay sa mga girls. Pag Halloween naman, try mong mag luto ng dinuguan na sobrang pula ang sauce at pag suotin ng drakula at manananggal costume ang mga helper mo para enjoy ang mga bibili. Pag Christmas naman, try mong mag reindeer at pumutol ka ng kahoy kahoy at idikit mo sa katawan at sabihing Christmas tree ang peg mo. O di ba, ang saya saya.

• 4.       Food should be tasted before you sell it. O yan,di mo alam na sobrang pait, alat, tamis or worst panis na pala ang tinitinda mo. Me free bangaw pang lumalangoy langoy. Ano yan, pasas? Nauumay ka kakatikim? Bigyan mo ng 1 cup of your ulam si manong guard at itanong with matching smile kung ano ang verdict nya? I’m sure sanggang dikit kayo nun at di ka na nya susungitan pag pasok ka ng pasok sa planta ng walang gatepass or advise. Alam mo dapat ang lasa para di sumakit ang tyan ng mga tao at mag LBM after.

• 5.       Keep your records in tact and updated. Mostly sa mga concessionaire ay utang ang nagiging libangan ng mga kakain. Mabusog lang sila, sign chit na. Okay lang yan, mga tsong, ganyan talaga ang buhay. Pero as a businessman updated ka, sumusunod ka sa deadline of submission sa HR para mabayaran ka agad agad. Hindi yung ikaw pa ang iintayin nila para ma include ka nila sa billing schedule of release. Plus, magdala ka na rin ng chichi sa kanila. PR din yun para i-priority ka nila. Wag na wag mong susungitan or else delayed ang payment sayo at tatawagin ka pang bruha. O kitam, me chain effect yan pag magaspang ang attitude mo.

I will conduct interviews pa with my fellow countryman here and update this as soon ma-collate ko na lahat.

For now, yan pa lang ang naiisip kong methods to improve your businesses like canteen or anything you have right now. Tips lang yan and nasasayo naman how to improve all other aspects para long term ang relationships.

Right now, wala kaming canteen and I will make kwento na lang on my next post how we survived this crisis until now.

Malunggay Pandesal…bow!

 

It’s raining uncontrollably yesterday, schools are cancelled that’s why kids are jumping with joy. Haay, let’s expect the messy part, malamang rambol na naman ang bahay. And we adults had to go to work in spite of the bad weather outside. Water proof and immortal lang ang peg. 

Ang lamig ng panahon, ang sarap lumamon *sorry sa word*.

Pero yan talaga ang feeling pag umuulan, masarap chumicha. After the long hours of work, H and I decided to buy malunggay pandesal along the highway. The bakery's name is Budong Malunggay Pandesal. 

Hit na hit talaga ang pandesal pag umuulan. A long line awaits us before we could buy Php 50.00 of it. Dami talagang gutom pag tag ulan, bakit kaya ganon? 

And atlast eto na sya…

Sorry hindi ko napicturan yung actual pandesal kasi naubos agad. It is crispy, hot, malaman and malinamnam. At 2 pesos each solved na solved na kami.

I also bought pieces at work today, and sa isang iglap nag disappear din. Di ko pa rin napicturan kaya I tried to google it na lang for you to see what its look like and their establishment.

See?

Happy tummy and healthy too!

Moving Forward...

I’m into updating my current status as a supervisor today. While reading my entire job description, editing and adding some work depiction I stopped and think for awhile. Hey, 11 years of doing this and still I haven’t got any chance of attending any particular seminars and explore exhibits in related to my fields. 

Wait, as I recalled, yes, I attended two in-house seminars and happened to see an exhibits in World Expo three years ago! Tsk, tsk, tsk…You see naman kung gaano ako ka busy here, I handled two manufacturing plants with different needs, order fulfillment and priorities. You can imagine the workload I have everyday. But I’m not complaining, I love my job, it is very challenging. 

But I learned from a friend that a continue education is a must by attending a discussion group and other stuff that is related to our job. Not by only experience we learned from our day to day practice. We should also explore other helpful courses for us to develop, gain good working knowledge and strategies at work.

So I grabbed a pen and a computer, googled some reputable schools that offers courses thru seminars, list down all possible key topics and within my budget cost because I know the company I have right now is not that open to employees to attend and pay all the expenses. *feeling sad* but It’s ok, I understand the situation naman, cost cutting.

Hhmmm, expensive din pala. Seminars are ranging from Php 3,000 to Php 20,000 nowadays. Pero pwede na, need to save up more for this, promise.

Right now, I listed some schools and institution that offers seminars, their schedules, course outline, cost and duration. My target date is early next year, hopefully. With that, I think I’m ready enough to face the additional expenses he he he.

In the end, I will benefit naman from this, di ba?
