Do you fit?

Going Green

Now that we're feeling the summer heat during the -ber months and we experienced rainshowers during the summer months, the effect of global warming is really here. It's an impending doom, a friend once told me. I, for one, do what I can to minimize my carbon footprint. The company I work for, Carat Philippines, has a Green Bean Program that helps everyone in the group, and in the building, help in minimizing our footprints.

A few days earlier, I saw these signs along Dela Costa and Valero streets in Salcedo Village. It looks like the Makati City government is also helping and encouraging the public to minimize their emission of greenhouse gases by providing the E-JEEPNEY, which isn't really an alternative to the jeepney since there are currently no jeepneys on this route, but a new way to get around Salcedo Village without using your car.

Kudos to the Makati government for this initiative but it would be better if the E-Jeepney actually REPLACED the real one. Oh and by the way, it's free of charge. But for how long? =)

Here's the Green Route:

My 22nd Birthday =)

Thanks a lot to my Carat family for this wonderful party! I love you all! View the pictures here: 

Gelopot's 22nd!

Delete!

It wasn't a typical Friday morning for the P&G Planning Team as we were greeted this morning by the Auditing Team from P&G. Feelings of shock, surprise, and irritation ran through everyone because of the added last minute task.

But upon deleting all the e-mails, all the ex-client-related files and folders, it was actually therapeutic, with a feeling of "Yes, it's all finally over!"

So after our usual long Friday lunch, we're back in the office doing absolutely nothing work-related.

Looking forward to a great party tonight and a peaceful weekend ahead.

A New Start

After a year and 1 month into the account, this is literally the last day of the P&G account. Thanks to everyone who I had the opportunity to work with - the wonderful P&G media team, the crazy brand managers, and of course, the Carat P&G Planning team --- without whom the 1 year wouldn't have been as bearable.

Kudos to everyone! And here's to a new start. =D

9 Working Days To Go!

Can't wait to go back to the blinding white sands of Boracay and get drunk on the sand!!!

This time, it'll be different. No more waiting to drink 'til it's dark. Happy hour officially starts as soon as I wake up.

Hhmmm should I or should I not?

Objectives for Bora:
1. Get drunk and drunker.
2. Get laid.
3. Get high.

But most of all, I wanna watch the sunset with you, while holding your hand. Give me at least that.
