Good News + Ranting

Hello loves!

It has been time immemorial since I last wrote on this blog. Well, it's not that I don't have time or I don't have anything to write about but, yeah, you can say that I Don't Have Time! Hahahaha!

Anyway, for my first post for 2015, I will rant about a certain courier. But before that, let me share with you one good news that excites me up to this day. Last month, I joined Kikay Trekkie's 6th Anniversary Giveaway. Surprisingly, I received an email from Marge, the blog owner, last June 23 that I was one of the winners. The prizes were all nice and especially most of them are products from Etude House.

And this is the set that I won - Etude House Shinee Diary Set

The winners were randomly picked by Rafflecopter

For this, I would like to say Thank You to Marge Tan of Kikay Trekkie! Till next giveaway!

Now, for my most awaited rant....

In Marge's email dated July 1, I was told that the package has been picked-up so I was hoping that it will reach me either July 2 or 3.

July 2 - no package arrived. According to Hanna, the Xend rider had vehicular trouble.

Okay, that was forgivable.As you can see, her package was re-delivered the next day. And since Signal Village is just a few kilometers away from Bagumbayan, approximately 5.8 kms according to our friend, Google, I was expecting that I will also receive mine in a few minutes or hours. BUT there was none! No Xend guy! No motorcycle! No package!

And then this....

Really??? Vehicular trouble in 2 consecutive days??!!?? WTF!!

But that's not what this piece of paper says :

You mean, LACK of time??? Really??? But Xend support says delivery is until 9:00 PM. And as far as I know, Hanna's package was delivered around 4:00 PM. And Signal to Bagumbayan is less than an hour more so if you are driving a motorcycle.

Now, tell me! What really is the reason - vehicular trouble or lack of time??? Cause I'm kinda confused, you know....

I am just satisfied with Air21. How about you? Which courier company do you enjoy the services most?

20th Wedding Anniversary

Hey guys!

Yesterday was my 20th wedding anniversary.

And because we both went to work, we decided to just have a simple celebration. Jojo cooked spaghetti and I bought a big cake from Mer-Nel's Cakehouse. Our initial plan is to dine at Gerry's Grill but since it's weekday and we have work, it didn't push thru.

I have nothing more to say. I'll just show you these pictures :

GCV's Birthday Surprise!

Good morning peeps!

Today is the birthday of our Admin. General Manager, Gerardo C. Velarde. He is also known as GCV or sir Gerry but he also would like to be called "Tatay Gerry".

Yesterday, we surprised him with a birthday cake and a gift. A day before, we (HR, Logistics & Facility) agreed that nobody will greet him until 4:00 PM. According to my officemate, Jenny Ramos, he overheard GCV singing "happy birthday to me" while walking towards visitors' area. And as if talking to himself, "walang bumabati sa akin ah!".

Then 4:00 PM came! The cake is ready....we gathered at the Clinic....then we started singing....

"♪♫ Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday, happy birthday,
Happy birthday to you! ♫♪♥♥"

We saw his face lit up when he saw us!
