How's my weekend?

May 8 (Friday) - hanged out at Allan and Archel's room with Lisa, we sang, drunk, and share ghost stories. kuntil anak! hala!

May 9 (Saturday) - went to Ambasador with the tukang gossip (gossip folks).. haha!
- went to somewhere out there with Lisa, Albert, and Antonio. met Mage (he's so mabango! my gosh!) hottah hottah.. first time to try Ks. ;) won't try it again. kaya nga try lang diba? choba dong!

May 10 (Sunday) - woke up late :O mother's day pala. went to church with Allan and Archel. met Leah and john too. we had dinner at Duck King. the boys treated me.

post-weekend:
May 11 (Monday) - took the Unilever's aptitude test. i passed the phone interview. :) had focus group discussion too which didn't lead us to anywhere coz everyone was seeking for the spot light. my goodness! i didn't know that Indonesians can be that AGGRESSIVE. halos makipagsabunutan na sila sa isa't isa! at ang english, jusko! di nila alam paano papakendengin pa! hahahaha! the face-to-face interview was ok, i was able to redeem myself. wish me luck! btw,
traffic was BAD. 1 hour from menteng to kuningan, my goodness gracious!

May 12 (today) - went to work late. it was difficult to find a cab. mba temmy who is my boss' secratary, told me that she has to update me on something. ano kaya yun? gosh! me UBER nerbus!

Realization: Don't eat the words you utter.
Be thankful. :) Hundreds of applicants were there in the testing center yesterday. They've been searching for jobs for many months now. Buti na lang may trabaho ako! Salamat po!

just got this from my workmate's blog.. spot the knot. ehem ehem! ;) nahulaan niyo ba? iba na talaga ang maganda. lol.

Work Week

this blog is becoming more and more work related. lol. what can i say? that's where i spend most of my time now.

hmmm.. this week has been very busy for me. i was tasked to do thousands of taxonomy (classifying each client according to its industry, sector, and subsector) and then mbak dian and i were tasked by our boss to accomplish a request from the CEO. we had to gather all the French-owned businesses in Indonesia. we had to call French agencies to help us out. i called the Indonesian French Chamber of Commerce and the girl said we can buy the directory for Rp300.000 (Php1500). my boss is so kuripot that she had to instruct me to bargain the directory for free or at least get a big discount.

tuesday: we don't need to pay that much just for a directory. i recommend that you do it manually by using the Foreign Businesses in Indonesia 2006. uhm? i had to go through that page by page and sort all the French businesses.

wednesday: ok we get the book but ask if we can get it for free. wtf? i'm working in a Big 4 firm and we have to act very thrifty! ok fine, i called the Chamber and ask if they got "special rates" for us. the girl said no so i told my boss. she goes like, ok let the librarian do the transaction and she was able to get it for half the price. so what is the conclusion, pabaya ka Trish! you have to learn how to bargain from her. come on! i can bargain in Mal Ambasador or ITC but not in a Chamber for crying out loud! I was carrying the name of the company! nakakahiya! anyway..

thursday: she said, the librarian was so resourceful the she was able to get it half the price. then my workmate said, trish got a more useful info from the Trade Commission. my boss, you see trish you were such a negative thinker thinking that they won't reply. come on! you were rushing me and they haven't replied when you asked for the update! so why did we get that book? BECAUSE YOU SAID SO AND YOU WERE SO IMPATIENT!

after few minutes... btw trish, the CEO said we could've gotten it easier coz he knows someone from the Chamber. i didn't tell him that we paid for it. otherwise... but if he asked, i wouldn't cover the truth that we actually did. ANO DAW? PAGTATAKPAN NIYA KO? what did i do?

thursday night: she texted me asking for the file that she asked me to e-mail her which i did. so i just told her that i already sent it and if she couldn't find it. it can be found in.. a certain link..

friday: she repremanded us in front of everyone by saying that the file should be put in a folder lalalala... i asked: were you able to receive my email? she replied, i found it in the TRASH coz i accidentaly DELETED it. what the? anong gusto niyang mangyari? sa akin niya isisise na binura niya email ko?!

tsk tsk..

my workmate's say on this, EAT SHIT! hahaha!

p.s. i wanted to pay her Rp150.000 just for the heck of it. hahaha!
