jonalyna and macelle's last group pics with us (as coworkers)

Two dear colleagues bid goodbye to us today. One is pursuing her career in Manila while the other one in Singapore. They sure will be missed!

Macelle (in red) able to drop by in the conference room while i had a meeting with my team

Jona (center) strike a pose with us inside Lab 2
Goodbye's are often sad but my best wishes for the two of them.

NorthAm Validation group meeting

Had our last group meeting ages ago so we decided to hold a group meeting today. Before the meeting proper, i thought of sharing some activities i learned from a training i attended.

let them answer questionnaires that later will reveal answers on "what motivates them" and "barriers to creativity" sort of stuff

serious! :P

let them draw a figure only by looking at the mirror their partner is holding... it's a thing about leadership and being a subordinate... i really had fun doing this task during my training... and they sure look hilarious too!

let the new intakes introduce themselves in front

It's Friday! Everyone should be happy and gay and doing the happy dance. But make no mistake for the NorthAM Validation Group as they take work seriously regardless what day of the week is. See evidence! :P


Uhuh! They probably are working... in an effort to belong, Terai tried to capture a candid shot of me.

An eventful Friday indeed - CE Sportsfest Opening Ceremony late in the afternoon and Macelle and Jona's Despidida in the evening. Details will follow.

meeting another bisdakmember

Glorie and I met Doc Norwin last August 31 for the 2nd time. We already met last year together with a few other Bisdakmembers. Read more of the story here, i posted it in my other blog.

collages and scraps

I might as well be posting here some collages and scrapbooks i made. Well, not really scrapbooks since i don't use much elements and papers. I'm sure it's not comparable to those cute scrapbooks made by some other bloggers but i'll be posting some of those i made anyway. ;)

went to Hinobaan Negros Occidental

Went to Hinobaan in Negros last July 25-27. It was a crazy fun adventure riding busses and fastcraft and barge. But most of all, it was great to see Madame Phoebe and her family. Read more of the story in my outing blog.

last August 3... here are some more pics...

That's with Madame Amy, her husband and daughter.
