MONGOLIAN BIG BOWL!!! BIG BOWL!!!

Ang saya saya kahapon! Babuy meals to the max! Wahaha!!! After ng review sa Excel, pumunta kami nila Guiller at AJ sa Gateway. Si AJ, may mang-chichix kasi sa Glorietta kaya dun siya bumaba pero sumama muna sa amin kasi 6pm pa raw, tapos, kami ni Guiller, wala lang, mga pasaway lang na ayaw pang umuwi, haha! Nung umalis na si AJ and after an hour siguro nang paglalakad, window shopping ng mga damit, Chuck Taylors and MP3 players, nagutom na kami ni Guiller at kumain kami sa Mongolian restaurant sa food court. At ano ang inorder namin? Syempre! Mongolian BIG BOWL!!! SHAARAAAP PARE!!! Hahaha! Ang dami, nakakabusog. Here's Guiller's picture with the big bowl:


Pagkatapos niyan, syempre dapat may dessert, nag Dairy Queen pa kami, hahaha! Babuy talaga. :P

Libre ni bosing!

Yesterday, the whole SQA team of VeriFone had a lunch out at Italiani's with our big boss who just arrived from India last Saturday. Since he's a vegetarian, we chose a restaurant where they serve really good salad and at the same time, they also serve really good food. Syempre, since 18 kami, long table kami sa Italiani's! Haha! But this time, I didn't sit beside our guest, I don't want to be the assigned GRO again for lunch time (parang yung nangyari sa akin sa Congo Grill with our American trainer hehe). I don't want to eventually ask the question, "How's the weather?" again, hehehe. Anyway, here are some pictures of our lunch out with our boss:

By the way, libre ng big boss namin yung lunch namin sa Italiani's. Magkano ang bill? P11,000++!!! Bwahahaha!!! Sulet! Well, we were expecting the bill to be at around 8k, hehe, mali pala ang estimate namin hahaha! Pero oks lang siguro yun, masaya naman lahat, busog, at inaantok pagbalik ng office hehehe. :P

Isang umaga sa office...


Ganito ako sa umaga pagdating ng opisina...


Ganito na ako for the rest of the day...


WAHAHAHA! Joke lang! Masipag po talaga ako, isang larawan lang iyan ng pagkukunwari "daw". Hehehe. :P

When I got to the office this morning, Anne, my officemate was taking pictures of everyone in the office. She brought one of her old digicams and she was testing its "picture taking" abilities hehehe. So here are a few: (ito na talaga silbi ng blog ko, pang-display ng pictures hehehe)

Me, Richelle and Karla (kakarating ko lang ng office niyan, picture agad haha! epal lang ako actually hehehe)

Me and Richelle (humihiram ako ng charger kaya ako napapadpad sa mesa niya haha!)

Me, Anne and Richelle (halatang walang tao sa office, mga late kasi pumasok hehehe)

Feeling pose, as usual hehehe

Ganito ako kapag galit, lumalapad ang ilong haha!

Ganito ako kapag walang pera, nagmamakaawa hehehe

VeriFone endorsers

Ayan, eh di obvious na umagang umaga pa lang, nagbubulakbol lang kami sa office haha! Hindi naman ganyan araw-araw, maluwag lang ang schedule kaya may panahon mag bulakbol, pero kung may trabahong kailangang gawin, nagta-trabaho naman kami hehehe. :P

Pansol, Laguna: ROUND 2!

Last August 4-5, my officemates and I went to Pansol, Laguna again at the same private pool, but this time, nasa 20 na yata kaming pumunta, last time kasi 12 lang kami hehehe. The usual stuff pa rin naman ginawa namin dun: swimming, drinking, eating, kwentuha, gaguhan, and videoke all night! Hehe, syempre, ano pa ba expectation sa ganyan, eh di syempre fun fun fun! Haha! Well, enjoy lang kami as usual, it was just a suave outing kung saan natulog na kami ng around 6am hahaha! Thankfully, no one got drunk hehehe (Sa tingin ko...hehehe). Here are some of the pictures:

More Training Pictures!!!

While waiting for the elevator...

Napagod maghintay ng elevator kaya pumasok ulit sa loob hehehe

Congo Grill: we treated Ms. Barbara for lunch on the last day of the training. Dami food! (first half of the VeriFone people)

Congo Grill: 2nd half of the VeriFone people (yung kabilang table)

VeriFone Manila Training (July 31 - August 4 2006)
On the last day of the training, the sessions were lighter compared to the previous days. As a "thank you" for Ms. Barbara, we treated her to Congo Grill and since humabol lang kami ni Arnel, napa-upo ako sa tabi ni Ms. Barbara. So I was the one assigned to be the GRO for that lunch time hehehe. Muntik na dinugo ilong ko sa kaka-english hehehe. Then before the day ended, we offered tokens for her as thanks. Ano yung tokens? Isang bote na may bahay kubo sa loob at may price tag na hindi pinunit nang maayos sa puwitan ng bote and of course, a blowup picture of the one above (at nakaframe yun hehehe). She was happy about it and she might come back daw ulit next time, hehehe, hindi natiis ang charms namin haha! Yun lang! :P

Pictures!!!


(Sir Kit, Me, Karla, Sir Uri, Ma'am Lera, Archie, Mia, and Ellen)

Here's a picture of some of the Antico Manila people (mostly Verifone deployed). It was the company's boss' (leftmost) birthday and there was a celebration in the main office of Antico. We just came from Pansol, Laguna that day and we headed straight to the office. There were 3 bilaos of pancit, lumpiang shanghai, barbecue, and cake! Basta dami food, sarap! And of course, there were lots of kamustahan and kwentuhan after the celebration. Ayosh!


Me, Reiner, Kat, Richelle, Mike, Archie, and Ryan

Anne, Janna, Me, Reiner, and Mia

Arnel, Anne and Me

Ang lalabo mag-pose hehehe

Nakahilera pa talaga kami noh? hehe (glasses ni Mia suot ko, bagay ba? hehehe)

The trainees with Ms. Barbara (sa training area namin hehe)

This week, VeriFone held a whole week training for us who hadn't received training yet for the company. Ms. Barbara, the trainer came from Honolulu, Hawaii to train us. Nakakahiya nga eh, kasi ang gulo gulo namin lalo na mga SQA people hehehe. For me, I kind of had a difficulty catching up with the lecture coz I wasn't that experienced with all the technical stuff. Recently kasi puro documentations ang ginawa ko sa work, no actual testing yet hehehe. But the training was fun, kahit magulo kami, Ms. Barbara was very patient with us. I learned a lot of stuff din naman considering maraming beses akong late at inaantok hehehe. :P
