Workmates, Do You Have Them?

Of the many personalities that differentiate one person to the other, there are few that stand out and that leave a trademark in every place of this planet.


The most common place to spot these personalities is the workplace. Whether you are assigned at the production area, at the admin office, or at the utility force, you surely can distinguish dominant characters. Let’s try to list them down.
The Feeling Boss
He considers himself next to the boss. He can be the secretary or the assistant. He might have the right to act like a boss but he overly displays his authority that people around him are suffocating. Deadlines? He can make you work like hell to hit it. Just like the role of the vice president, the feeling boss waits until the boss dies so he can take the place.

Krusty Krab Fan
He can be your ordinary work mate, I mean your fellow cube mate. He is neither a friend nor a foe because he is driven and motivated by selfish intentions that he is willing to push and pull you so your goal of climbing the corporate ladder will be far possible.
Always Turn Right 
His famous lines? We should do this, do that. This is the right thing to do. Need I say more?
Loud and Proud
She is loud and she is proud of that. She delivers the news, makes the news, and distorts the news. She can make you believe that the boss and a certain workmate has an affair. She  can make  you think that the people in the admin are against the rank and file employees. At the end of the day when the boss passes by, she just bows her head.


Punch in - punch out
Routine people. They never dare climb the corporate ladder. They settle on what’s just available for them. Kick them out of the company, nothing’s going to happen. Keep them in the company still nothing’s going to happen.
Nodders
They are those who just literally nod. Nod at the new policy, nod at the new assignment, and nod at the new uniform. And when you ask them to join the worker’s union, hahahaha count them in.
These are just few of those characters. I am pretty sure I will be updating this post if I can discover more. I just have to sit on this swivel chair and turn on my radar.

Filipino Stores and Restaurants in Tokyo

For somebody who craves for Filipino food and snacks from time to time, here are the stores I frequent to. I can only share a limited perspective but solely based on my experiences. Read on! Filipino Stores 1. Asia Yaosho (Kabukicho, Shinjuku)  While they mostly have Filipino products, they also sell Thai goods. I think their prices are a little lower than the other Filipino stores I've tried. However, they have limited stocks and they often run out of items that I usually need, like Bearbrand. 😁 Credits: This photo is from this website .  2.  Ameyoko Center Underground Marekt (Ueno)   This market is heaven for Southeast Asians. They have a lot of varieties, dry goods, frozen meat, and even fresh seafood. There are also two Filipino stores in the area. They sell more items than Asia Yaosho but they are a bit pricey.  Credits: Photo is from this website. The market is underground. The entrance is on the side of this building at the center of this photo.  3....

DPE at Cebu Normal University

Though I haven't gotten that energy back yet, I'm feeling gay to tell you of what I've gone through the five-month DPE studies at CNU. I am never the ideal student (hahaha) so forgive me if I can only tell you the things based on what I've experienced. So, I was enrolled in 6 subjects which is equivalent to 18 units. To graduate or I mean finish the program you need to get a total of 33 units for one school year. But I only wanted to qualify for the Licensure Exam so I only complied with the 18 education units as required by the Department of Education. My courses were Child and Adolescent Development, Educational Technology, The Teaching Profession, Assessment of Student Learning, Curriculum Development, and Principles of Teaching. These courses are actually foreign to me (hahahaha) as you know I finished Mass Communication. FAQs 1. What's the first step? Hahaha of course, go to CNU (aww) Pray bitaw. Yes, pray. Teaching is not merely a profession,...

GGPEI First Anniversary (Team Mary)

For almost eight months now, I have worked as an online ESL teacher to Japanese. And just recently, the company I am currently connected with had its first anniversary (wohooooo!!!) It feels overwhelming to be part of this celebration. The firsts are always historical. As part of the event, the company which has more than a hundred employees decided to have this Team Dance and Halloween Costume Design Competitions. Our team, Team Mary , won 3rd place and 2nd place respectively. We are CHAMPIONS! FYI: We are the only team (out of eight teams ehems ehems) to win in both categories. Lemme repeat, WE ARE CHAMPIONS! This is my blog so I'm a little biased. What I loved about the prep and practice days was that I get to know the people I am working with deeper. And because I have all the right to be biased because I repeat, this is my blog lemme describe my team mates and what I discovered about them! hahahaha However, I can only list here those who I spent more time with. hehehe....
