ang saya sa hyatt

for those whose sick stories i heard about their internship... well, im just sorry that you guys didnt have the experience i did... although i dont get tips (marky got 2,900 the other night, btw) i learn a lot, get the proper exposure and some really great perks. for instance... this comin' week there's a circuit party- a series of parties with themes like a pool party here at hyatt on thur, and other parties at venues like diamond hotel and nbc tent [circuit asia]; and i got VIP passes to all five of them. i also get to attend fine dinners and cocktails, some free meals at the Market Cafe (Hyatt's buffet restau- 1,100/pax-dinner) and to some extreme.... get an overnight stay for staying through a function.... and i'm just an intern! well, the sales and marketing team here is composed of very kind individuals and i just enjoy working for them. i'd love to work here someday. but first, iv gotta have fun at my LAST year in school!!!! woohoo!!!! the end is near!!!! i just hope i dont jinx myself here...

sisters

Have you found your bestest friends in the world? i have... they're the sisters God couldn't give me through my own parents, but he made me find them never the less. who are they? who else, my sisters from perla assembly! grabe, they're the best! they're always there to fulfill their rainbow promise anytime of the day. they go at once to support you during your lowest moments and they love you no matter what you are. i've shared some of my downest downs and highest ups with these people and i can't thank them enough for being there.. love ya girls! especially to aberdeen assembly! you know who you are... can't wait to see you all again and i'm looking forward to our post-summer escapade (when finally we'll all be available)... ang gaganda nyo!

sales and marketing how may i help u?

you wanna have fancy things? u wanna be with the rich and famous? wanna have posh meal almost everyday? then hotel sales is the career for you! this is it... this is really it. i've come to a realization that work is really, definitely, absolutely difficult!!! especially in SALES!!!! do i really want this?!! actually i do... im enjoying myself (--well, u oughtta know i love challenges).. but it is really difficult... odie's still sick.. and i'm gonna be very soon. i'm going to leyte on the first weekend of may.. and yes i'm gonna be absent for 2 days. so i compromised and asked to do overtime instead -- to make up for the time i was absent. so yesterday i was here at hyatt until 8. and guess what, so did everybody else in sales! like it was a regular work day. so is this my future in sales? if i really wanna be in sales... actually i do. i do, so much, wanna be in sales, here in hyatt hotel and casino manila actually, ive grown to love the hotel. but my social life (or the tiny speck of it i have) is on the line. but more than that. at 8 pm phones are ringing! clients come in and out, one after another, and a lot of instances-- all at the same time. it's so stressing! grabe, i admire my bosses who are able to handle this with grace--even if they are on call 24 hours- doctor daw ba? hopefully someday i'll be able to also.. hmm.. how then will i pursue a higher level of education if i'm 24 hrs on call? ... questions....

goin' solo

yesterday i was @ hyatt... my regular OJT day... and as i told you i was getting sick na, i think i contaminated the air in the office and out sales co-ordinator aka odick got sick also. he had to go on half day. wawa naman odie! and so to say, with our boss in a meeting, i was left alone in the banquets office.. waaaaah! i'm not yet ready yet... or so i thought... i had to be, i had no choice.. i wouldnt be elaborating on how hard it is or what exact things i did, some may not be able to relate anyway. but the thing is, many times (and this is one of those times) a girl just has to use her head to be able to scrutinize a predicament and get the hell out of it. some things were actually not taught to me yet, but then all it needed was common sense. i'm so grateful to my mentors, sir chrissy and odie. if not for them, id be so lost w/o them. and so far i'm doing well. i had to stay in the office after work hours but its all worth it. this is what i call On The Job Training... for those who just washed plates during their internship, well, i believe im a step ahead of u there. i'm stressed yes but @ least i'm learning a lot. it's a lot different than what was taught in school btw. a lot different. so for now, im gonna start working again. ciao bella y'all! ;)

health issues

i'm getting sick... literally... i'm having the headache of my life and a painful dry cough. i'm missing meals and losing weight (yey on the last note!)... after a week i havent been able to adjust from my schedule at work... grabe.. i'm really getting weak. i woke up yesterday with the biggest eyebags i've ever seen... i took a shower and a nap, only to find out it's finally decided to make my face its permanent home... aw! ang panget ko na! (i hope nobody agrees on this...)

work, work, work

for those of you who are not aware... im currently an intern in hyatt hotel and casino manila... haha... as in THE Hyatt! i'm w/ the sales and marketing department... and i'm really enjoying myself.. like for real i am! i've learned a lot since i started last monday... actually, iv lost a lot of time for myself since. im spending most of my day at work and then a huge part in transit... gggrrr!! i hope il lose weight in the process.. haha! but its really fun and i've no regrets.. so far.. i haven't screwed up big time just yet and i hope i dont. after all, i dont want any bad records just yet. now this is work! no offense to my callcenter friends, ayt.. but by far, there has been a great difference in self fulfillment here than when i was in call center.. but then again, my account was rather boring... u can ask my officemates fr. ICT.. hehe.. i'm so excited to graduate and start to work for real! mwah! ahlavy'all!
