Hey everyone! It's almost the end of January, I know I'm a little late for a year end post but I couldn't just let January pass without telling you how awesome my 2014 was. Definitely the best year so far. I know I also said this line last year that means it just gets better and better.


This is basically my 1st year as a working mom and made it through. It was a tough job but then thanks to my son who had been always and forever my inspiration and motivation. Happy to have wonderful attendance which is soooo not me. That was an achievement I'll always be proud to tell. I also have stepped up to being the team's POC which is a blessing. It was challenging, I had a little bit of a hard time because I aim to be very effective yet I always felt that everything I do is not enough. I am just so blessed to have a mentor who had been so patient with me. Everything is just right into its places at work.



One of my considered achievement too is that I successfully organized my little boy's first birthday party! It was an amazing experience as a mom. It's fun and blissful to see your son growing up and learn new things. My son might not remember the moment but it's somethng I could show him when he's all grown up.




I've been to great events, thanks to Davao Bloggers. I had time to meet awesome people. I am so happy and I hope this is pushing through for long. This is a dream come true,



Last September, a girlfriend from Manila went back to Davao to specd time with me and I had so much fun, I will be blogging about it soon, Though it will be a backlog. I need to blog it because for the longest time I'm here, I never explored Davao deeply and twas a great opportunity to know more about my hometown and to be with someone you care and you miss so much!

These are just few reasons why my year was awesome. Hopefully I'd be able to tell you about some of important events in my blog soon.

All I wanna say is I wanna thank God for providing me everything. For making this year awesome and unforgettable. Looking forward to another blissful year!

Happy New Year everyone! I wanted to start the year right by telling you one of the most memorable night I had last year.

Offsourcing Philippines, Inc have intended to end the year with a BANG and they just didn't make it. They exceeded our expectations. It was one superbly blissful and unforgettable night for everyone.

I am actually utterly speechless but I'll try my best to look for words to best describe how amazing that night was for us.

But photos will tell more...






Themed as Winter Wonderland Rave Party, Davao Crocodile Park shined with lights and 2000 fabulous party people in blue and white last December 20, 2014. They opened the gates at 3pm so we could start pumping  with games and booze. The exciting part started dinner time, Thanks to Kookels Davao for that sumptuous dinner. I also spotted a roasted beef which was also being served. By the way, booze just overflowed. We had 5 mobile bars by Chenks with beer fountains, we also had bottles of Vodka and Tequila and Rhum  just everywhere on each and every table.



The program was hosted by our very own gorgeous manager Miranda and Steven who added glitters to the night.



But the best part was the after party. Offsourcing just brought the HOTTEST DJ in town: DJ Callum David. To be honest, I am not the kind who party a lot. Laugh at me but I could not contain the thrill and excitement when I saw him right on stage. Everyone just went crazy though, not only me. It literally rained beer and alcohol. Everyone was just jumping and dancing with the music. It was a magical night. Sad part was that I need to go back to the office and take calls at 1am. I felt like Cinderella, but it doesn't matter, I was full, I got tipsy and I had SOOO MUCH FUN! Twas more than enough.






Thanks to Ms. Aya Mequiros, Sir Jabar Umpar and their crew for coming up with this fairy tale theme and to our Three Kings Johnny, Edmund and AC for making this possible!!


It took time for me to look for an outfit. I was so excited, I don't wanna blow it up and have an after-party-outfit regrets.

Finally I found a perfect bustier top at Rainbow Project and paired it with tattered denim shorts and well my DIY tutu skirt to add glamour plus my gold boots from Chic Boxroom.






This was one TRULY OSAM night! In fact it was the best YearEnd Party ever!!!!


Anyway, this is just a kickstart. =) I'll be posting a lot more soon! Welcome 2015.

If you are a great reader of my blog, I've nothing but praises and appreciation to the company I am working with right now. And I think it's time to do one dedicated post to share my happiness with Offsourcing Philippines. It is actually my first year anniversary with the company and I am praying and hoping for more years with them. I listed down Top 6 reasons why I stayed and would like to stay for long with OS.

OFFSOURCING Philippines Inc., is headquartered in Los Angeles but with branch office in Davao City, which was established in 2006 to help local talents find jobs that match their skill sets at the same time to help both small and big companies (clients) achieve their optimum business potentials.

"OS - the largest Filipino owned BPO in Davao! The best company to work for in the Philippines. And the biggest Davaoeno owned bpo in the city. For the people, by the people "- Johnny Cheng

6. The salary. Well, of course.  Like many employees, this is the main reason why we stay. Sometimes the only reason. LOL. Well, in this company, you get what you deserve. We are well compensated. No delays. When payday falls on a holiday, you'll get your pay the day before. For disputes, just let them know and they'll have it fixed right away. And I'm happy to say that for a year of working with OS, I only missed my monthly incentives twice. My first month and when I took my PTO (Paid Time OFF) for three days. So why did I put Salary at the least of my list? Because OS is more than just compensation...and free shoes!!!



5. Yes.. I just got my free shoes from our dearest clients which I cannot mention. I am currently working as a "fashion stylist" for this big online shoe company in US. We even had the chance to choose a pair we'd like to have. Well, it does make sense, if we wanted to provide better service we should get to experience these items we are dealing with. But not every company does that.

4. And for us to provide better service, for us to do the job well,  the leadership makes sure that everything's covered. Support's always there when needed. I mean, Ive been with 3 other companies and basically this is what should be done. But with our leaders, it's always a guarantee of an improvement in a friendly manner. Well, I think what I mean is everyone thinks of a game plan but handles it with no pressure.





3. Well, another thing i super love about the company is that they always makes US their top priority. I could not even explain it in words how accommodating they are to their employees. We even have our own Happiness Team who caters not just the customers happy experience but also ours. There are things in the company that we really could not control especially if it's actually what the business needs,but OS do all they can to make everything easier for us. Every time it gets intense on the call floor, the leadership will wrack their brains off  thinking of what could be the best activity to make the environment fun under pressure. We have free food, games with awesome prizes, quarterly all expense paid team buildings, parties with unlimited booze, just pretty much everything an employee wants and even needs.




2. With OS, you can be whoever you are. You can wear whatever you like. You can be fashionista or not. You can be straight or gay. You can be young or old. As long as you can handle the job then you'll be accepted with open heart and mind.



1.To wrap it up with the top and the best reason why Offsourcing is awesome, above all is because OS is family. The place feels like home. I don't know how they do these, but everyone is just so welcoming, so friendly and so homey. From your team mates, our TLs and our Managers, the I.Ts, The Trainers, HR dept, the Happiness team, even our security team and kuyas of the utility team,  the clients and most of all The Three Kings: Johnny, AC and Ed. Our CEOs! Even the heads of the company party with us, drink with us, fondly having fun with us. The culture and the environment feels like you never want to leave work. No matter how stressful the day is, you have your teammates you can eat out together with and your bosses to talk to with whatever reason.


So you see, these may just have been 6 reasons. But every person you are with the company is a reason. Every peso you earn, every smile and every great opportunity is a reason. This company is a blessing. And I am more than grateful.
 
Sometimes they'd ask me, what is my motivation. I'd say too many to mention. So that's why I could say Happy Anniversary to me because I have more than one reason to stay.


Special shout out and thanks to the hottest TL in town, TL Cody.  I've been handled by a lot of supervisors and nothing compares to you. Thanks for being one of my motivation, for being so dedicated with the team, for never losing faith and for being our potter molding us to be the best! Kudos!


To my team! Thanks for helping me killing the time at work, making the shift less boring and for just being a family.

To our Managers! Boss Felix, FM Miranda and FM Jenny. Thanks for doing everything to make things easier for us, for listening and for approving our PTOs! Haha.

And to Boss Johnny, Ed and AC, thanks for all the reasons listed up there!! Thanks for everything!
