The Big Day

I've been almost neglecting this blog and all and I'm pretty way behind but sometimes life gets too busy and yes I'm riding the fast train as of the moment with a lot of schedules here and there.





(August 3-4, 2007)

For two days, I've been in and out of Tagum(the new location of the Service Center to be managed by me) to help clean the place up and arrange what my parents planned. Everything looked really great, despite the fact that you had to brush the whole tiled floor which is not a good type of tile because the dirt sticks right away and one has to mop it most of the time to keep it squeaky clean (that was the downside of it all, the tiles which came with the building).

I am sooooo grateful for the support the Legaspi group has given me. Four(Kuya Lauro, Kuya Marlon, Kuya Alie and Kuya Eric) of them went with us to help pull the things out from the old place, mind you that was without pay, it was just pure service. Grabe!



They had fun with the place. People in Tagum are pretty accommodating when they realized there's a new establishment. Being at the heart of the city, everyone who passed by was curious and asked about the establishment and the new occupants which we gladly answered.

When the distributors invited new interested people to visit the place for the opening-slash-orientation most of the distributors were bombarded with questions like "would there be food?", or "naay kumbira?".

Tsk. Tsk. Telling everybody the presence of food would devoid the purpose of the orientation. You would have a place filled with people thinking about free food and not the opportunity that would be laid down for them. We did not say that there would be food for the stomach after or anything fancy catered for them but a few expected there would be. They went out of the office before and right after the orientation muttering a few unintelligible words which would lead to the bottom line that "there was no free food".

We served the prepared snack 30 minutes after the presentation. The food was served for those who were really interested and they were even surprised. It pays to wait but never expect. Hehe.

I was touched when I heard the night before the event that almost all decided to wear pink or shades of pink as a sign of support to me. Awwww.... How sweet. Ate Mari told me, I mentioned it to her once.... I just forgot. But, it was so nice... and sweet of them to wear pink... even the men were all game to wear pink.

Renel and June arrived since they both hailed from Tagum. My friends in ICST wanted to go there and told me they would.... but then they have things to take care of.... pero "thank you sa text message(from Jona and Pearl) and the comment you gave as well Avy." Grabe. I appreciate all those. "Kita kits na lang sa school. Gi mingaw nako sa inyo ba."


Belated Happy Birthday kay Ate Sasha (august3) . Sorrrryyyy. I'm so late grabe.

By August 8, I shall be in Bacolod to assist Mom with her training. Just a few days.. will be back right away.

Enjoy the rest of the week. I will visit your abodes now. Hehe. STAY HAPPY!

Hehe. I wasn't that clear. Anyway.. it's a Service Center that would be managed by me (named after me and everything) pero i will be assisted by my mom to start.

August 5, yesterday was the re-launch or opening of the new Service Center and everyone helped out and there was a grand orientation about the business for everyone. hehe. ;p

Wow! :) Go Tina! Kaya mo yan. Napahanga mo ako sa dami ng ginagawa mo at your young age. Goodluck sayo sa lahat ng bagay! :) I'll pray for you and your success. *kisses

Mari said...

That was funny about the food, but that is so true. Some people are only interested in what they can get in their stomach. But you all did the right thing...serve food half an hour later. LOL

Wow! Congrats, Tina! Nahuli na ako sa balita ha. Is that a new business you are opening? Naku kailangan ko palang magbasa ng mga namiss ko dito...

Okay lang yan, sister, kahit nahuhuli ka sa mga bali-balita online. Busy ka offline and ganon talaga. There will be time for blogging and a time for other things. Ako nga ilang araw na sponsored posts lang tapos log off na agad. :)

That's what a sweet, good life is all about -- having the support of friends and family when you really need them.

You are loved.

Congrats on your new venture.
