New Year - new job, new friends, newly sold car, new site, new PC, and of course, a new wedding project! 2009 begins with many firsts for me - and I guess this marks yet another new chapter of my life.
1. New job.
After spending two glorious weeks undergoing core skills training with an 8AM-5PM shift in my new company's Makati office, I am currently living and learning in my new office environment located at the company site in Quezon City. I love the night shift, the food they sell, my workstation, the people who work with me, my parking space, my daily coffee buzz, the fact that I have internet access, and the fact that I'm starting to help people (in this case, call center agents) improve themselves. I like the feeling that I'm somehow useful and productive, yet learning more new things everyday! This trainer job is really working well for me, and is something that I would consider as a major contributor to my very good start of the year 2009.
2. New friends.
Aside from all the new friends that I've made because of my recent HCP comeback, I somehow got along really well with my core skills training classmates, that even though they are from a different account, I still constantly get in touch with them. It's funny, because I actually like meeting new people. I love interacting with others. That's why I'm so sure I'm going to have trouble creating my guest list when I have my wedding - I might end up inviting everyone!
3. Newly sold car.
There it went. One moment it was just sitting in my garage. The next moment, it's gone. I guess it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing for me. How I sold my UGLY car (yes, I named my former Honda Civic EK sedan "UGLY") in a matter of 6 hours upon posting it at the HCP selling forum is beyond me. But the damage has been done. After a year of owning the car (and several months of not using it while I was in the US,) I decided to let it go and find a new one.
Not that I'm complaining - I have yet to get used to owning and driving a sedan (after five years of using an EF hatchback?!?) I miss my former race cars, though. :-(
4. New site!
Well, after some brainstorming session with my webmaster (who charged quite an unusual price for the work he had to do - let's just say it was a unique transaction) I am very pleased to announce that Concept Magic's new site is up and running!
Here it is: www.conceptmagicevents.com. :-)
What I like about this new site is that it looks very professional, clean, user-friendly, and informative. I especially like the live form which one can use to make inquiries in the "Contact Us" section - because whatever is typed there would get sent directly to our email! Thus, there's no need to open your e-mail account and copy-paste our e-mail address just to get in touch with us. I like the convenience that this particular feature brings. :-)
I like the new layout of the site as well. It was a big transition for us - from being a simple .tk site to getting the prestigious .com - I believe this move makes the company image more credible, and assures clients of our integrity.
5. New PC.
Hey, I do have to keep up with how technology evolves every so often, so on an impulsive streak, I decided to buy a Dual Core CPU and a 19" LCD monitor - all in one day. It was really time for a desktop overhaul anyway. My ancient computer was on the brink of falling apart!
Notice the 5.1 sound system I hooked up (DIY style) to these old-school wide-ass speakers! Yeah, sometimes I actually work on both my desktop AND my laptop simultaneously - it allows me to multi-task. ^_^
So what else is in store for me at the start of the year? Read on to find out more!
