Ruby Tuesday #3

For this week’s edition of , I will be sharing with you my latest completed project.

A few months back, we had this training about a certain search engine. Being a person who analyzes our support portal activities, I had no choice but to accept the last minute invitation to that training even if it was against my will. The reason behind is that, there will be a discussion of requirements for its future implementation as our company’s search engine. I was soooo not into it. One, because it is not originally part of my week’s activity. Two, because of that, all my other activities were being pushed back. And three, the discussion was too technical, my nose bled most of the time.

To compensate for the boredom, me and my teammates were chatting using a notebook since we don’t really want to interrupt the whole presentation with our whispers. Other than that, I kept on tinkering my Motorola RAZR maxx V6 phone. With that tinkering comes clumsiness. My phone fell off from my pocket to the floor three times in one day. I thought it was ok since it experienced more than that in Ayex’s hands. You know when little kids hold something like your mobile phone and suddenly thinks what will happen if they throw it? Yeah, it happened a lot before and still my phone is ok.

Not until a few weeks later. When people call me, I could not hear them but they said they can hear me clearly. I thought it is because of my network provider. You know those times when your text messages or calls can’t get through because of a jammed network? Then one time, I tried calling hubby with my phone’s speaker on, my call was successfully connected and I can hear him loud and clear. Then it occurred to me that it could have been damaged weeks ago already, back from the training days and I didn’t know.

I did my best to stick with it because getting a new one is not part of this year’s budget. Then hubby offered me his good old Sony Ericsson K750i. This phone is an old model but with really nice features. I took the offer and decided to just revamp its look. It took us two days to have its covers changed. The repair guy couldn’t get it on the first try and it was 9:30PM, Ayex is already looking for us. Hubby had to bring it back the next day and I’m so happy everything went fine. I now have a new looking phone.

Ruby Tuesday #2

I am feeling a bit sentimental the past few days and while I was searching my archives for a ruby to post today, I stumbled upon the picture below. All of a sudden, memories came rushing and I felt like I was back in my younger days.

This photo was taken in December 18, 2004. It was my first Christmas Party with Trend Micro and it was one of the bests I had.

This is a year and a half that we have been chosen as scholars. The founders of the company are celebrating the party with us and so HR asked us to do a special number for them. It took us weeks to practice. We had to look for a sewer who is willing to sew our costumes in such a short notice. I’m happy that we were able to pull it off despite our young age. Practice nights are really full of fun.

Oh I miss these people. I haven’t seen most of them, not even chat! I hope one of these days, we’ll get to meet each other again, probably over lunch or dinner.

Ruby Tuesday #1

Having a sister-in-law abroad have its own perks, one of which is that we don’t have to buy over-priced and highly expensive stuff for Ayex here in the Philippines.

Below is one of her presents for Ayex in the early months that she left us. To date, this is still Ayex’s favorite stuff toy. Anywhere we go where she finds his picture, she would instantly squeal in happiness and keeps on saying his name until we start looking at him too.

There was even a time when she refused to take off her little dress with him on the print even if she was wearing it for the whole day already. Worried that she will continue to use the same clothe for days, I asked my brother to buy her several sleeveless shirts in Baclaran with him as print. I even told my brother not to bother getting different designs as long as he’s on the print I’m fine with that. He ended up getting 6 pieces of the shirt and 2 shorts all with his face and body for only PhP200 (about 4 usd). My little girl was soooo thrilled when her uncle gave her her new stuff.
