Our 2012 Company Halloween Trick or Treat!

On the last day of October, our company had its annual "Halloween Trick or Treat." Yup, this is the day where the employees can bring their children dressed in costume in the office and enjoy the "Trick or Treat."  

Aside from the children's "Trick or Treat" and the best in costume contest for the kids, we even had the so-called 'Decorate Your Area" contest. This is a team competition of the best dressed area. The theme or motif is up for the team.

And here how our office looks like during the event. Four teams battled for the best decorated area! I arranged them according to the contest's official result: 

1st Prize - "Pirates of the Caribbean"

2nd Prize - "Willie Wonca and the Chocolate Factory"

3rd Prize - "The Cemetery"

4th Prize - "Pixar"

Our team got the second prize. Yeah, our decoration is inspired by the "Willie Wonca and the Chocolate Factory." One of our teammates was dressed as Willie Wonca. I'll share oir photos in my next post. We even wore green wigs to complete the cast.

Aside from that, we even up a chocolate fountain and a cupcake stand. You will those on my next succeeding posts.

Of the four themes, which do you like best?! (RCB)

Invasion of our Home IX: 'The Installation of Our New Air-Con!'

Welcome back to our home! I knew you really missed visiting our home sweet sweet! Glad to say that we are also celebrating our first year anniversary here in our new home!

After a year of living in this new home, more and more appliances were already bought! Thanks God for all the blessings He had given me! Love you Lord! =)

Last month, the latest appliance that we have bought is the room air-con. And this new air-con was just recently installed!

The Brand - GE

Since we were experiencing too much heat this summer due to the El Nino phenomenon, we decided to buy an air-con for our room. Its purpose also is not only to cool ourselves but to cool our important appliances as well!

And this is what we bought, a GE (General Electric) bran air-conditioner!

Installation of the Air-Con Frame

Doing the Wiring and Electrical

This a 0.75 hp air-con suited to cool a room. This air-con has a modern design. There is no water-leaking in this unit every time you use it so you don't have a problem of putting hose to it for any water drops!

We installed it in our sala. Hmmm...why in the sala and not in our bedroom?! Well, it is because our important appliances that needs to be cooled like our Sony Bravia LCD TV and our LCD flascreen PC were all in our sala! Some other time, we will also bought air-con for our bedroom!

We asked a carpenter to construct an air-con frame in our window. Also another man do the wirings and electrical for our unit.

Covering the Spaces Around Using Insulation

Pre-Final Design!

The construction and welding of the air-con frame started from 9 a.m. 'till 3 p.m. The circuit breakers and an exclusive switch solely for the unit was also done within this time.

To prevent the cool air from coming out, the side of the window's open space were filled with the silver insulation foam coil! Afterwards, the air-con was successfully installed!

As you can see in the last image, this is how our installed unit looks like. It was not yet fully designed. My mom with put other more decorations to it such as window and air-con curtains! Don't worry because this is only my first part of featuring our air-con unit. On the next part of my post, I will let you see the decorated air-con in our wall. For now, I just told you the installation process of our unit!

So see you next time on your next visit here in our home! Feel cool with our newly air-conditioned home...! C",)

The Evolution of My Workstation!

In accordance to my second year anniversary celebration here in my company, I promised you that this February, one of my three main dishes here in The Rock Land is all about my humble beginning in my company!

One of the important part of the company where you perform your daily work is the workstation! Our workstation or cubicle can we somewhat called as our second room next to our personal rooms in our homes.

Therefore here in my company, the most important place for me is my own workstation! For my two-year tenure here in my office, my workstation also grows...it evolves!

Here's how my workstation evolves from my very first day in my company to the present time:

Feb. 11 to June 2008 - "My First Workstation"

June to Sept. 2008 - "Brand New Workstation in the New Office"

Sept. 2008 to Nov. 2009 - "My Solo Artistic Mini-Office"

In the Other Side of My Artistic Working Area...!

Nov. 2009 to Present - "A Wider More Expose Station"

What can you say about this evolution? Which of the era above you like the most?!

(February 11 - June 2008) - My very first workstation was in our former main office in RCBC Tower, Makati City. There, my area was too plain and simple without any decorations! It has a plain green walls that surrounded me. My table was a shinny light-brown with varnish! My first computer here was the old black CRT!

(June - September 2008) - Then, when we transferred to our second office here now in McKinley, The Fort, I have also located into a new workstation. This time the walls were composed of three colors: red, brown, and gray that were fine to the eyes! My table then was a smooth plain white. There, I started to put decorations and arts in my place! Still my PC there was a CRT.

(September 2008 - November 2009) - We made our first transfer within the office in September of 2008. Again, I was placed to the new workstation. But since it was within the same office, still same workstation style. In this area, I got my new LCD flat screen PC. This adds design to my area. It really saves space! I then used my extra space in putting more arts and designs in my work station!

(November 2009 - Present) - I am now here in my present workstation! Well, do I need to describe it more since I already featured it here in my previous post?! Hmmm...maybe the only thing that makes difference is that it is more wider and more expose to the people behind me! Still my arts and designs are similar to my previous but it is more attractive now!

I don't know when we will transfer again to a new workstation. But for now, I still keep my area more beautiful and attractive! And take note, I always ensure my area to be fragrant and disinfected since everyday, I always rub alcohol on it! My table then became really smooth!

Now it's your time to give your thoughts and feedback! If you were to choose between these working areas, which will you prefer? What other more suggestions can you give!!! So, see you next time as we reminisce back my two years here in my company!!! c",)

Yuletide Symbols II: "Angels of Christmas!"

Do you ever wonder why there is always an angel on top of every Christmas tree? Hmmm...I am also thinking of that same question! Usually, if not a big star on the top of the Christmas tree, an angel takes the place of the star!

Hello guys! It's 21 days to go before the grandeur Christmas eve! Merry Christmas in advance! Again, let's have a quick yuletide tour!

Angels...they were really lovely and beautiful! They were also part of the so-called Christmas spirit!

For now, I have with you the different beautiful faces of Christmas angels taken from my digital camera mobile phone.

White Angel With Santa and Snow

Blended with Red and Yellow...!

Red Angel for the Red Christmas!

Previously, I shared with you my first yuletide symbol same taken from my mobile phone. Almost everybody loves the different Christmas trees that I had presented. Each of my readers casts their own bets on the different bleeds of Christmas trees.

Now, another casting of bets! This time, on the different angels of Christmas...the most beautiful symbol of the yuletide season!

Well, on these pictures above and below, which is your type? Which do you love most? Who's the fairest, who's the most beautiful?!

They were also taken on the same date when I took photos of the different Christmas trees. Again, they were on every corners of the SM Makati Mall!

Just what I have promised, my yuletide presentation is a five-part long special. I classified each post based on their kinds. The first one were the groups of Christmas trees, now here on the second part are the different faces of angels. The third, fourth, and fifth...well SECRET for now! Hahaha...!!! Just wait and see!

The Angel of Purity!

Filipiniana Look!

Of Grandeur and Beauty in Gold!

Green and Blue for Your Blue Christmas!

Seeing them on the displays, I really got attracted! They were just like the beautiful ladies passing, roaming, and walking around the corner! With the fairest face, light-tone complexion, and gorgeous looks, tell who won't get attracted!?

As you can see, their designs and arrangements were cool and pretty. Glamorous! Inspiring! Ladies and faces of the Christmas night!

But wait, they were truly expensive! Hahaha...! Looking at their tag prices, their costs were as beautiful as them! The prettier, of course the higher the price!

Do you have an idea why they became one of the icons of Christmas? Do they have a more significant part that I didn't know on the night the Christ was born besides singing songs of joys!? Could you share some of the stories about them?

Again, take a quick look on each of the angels above! Now, do you already have your choice? If you were to buy one of them, which will you prefer!?

Hayz...thanks to my mobile phone camera. Without it, I couldn't give you such gorgeous images like this!

Well, it's a bye-bye time now! Hope you enjoy the second part of my Christmas Special! But I will really appreciate if I could hear your thoughts and ideas about them! See you once again on my third part...!!! You will love it...Hohoho! c",)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
