Productivity

I am an excellent multi-tasker. I get so many things done at the same time. I am also a fast worker. Part of the reason why is that I am also very decisive. I do not mean to toot my own horn but I am just really proud of the things I have accomplished the past few months!

I am graduating! No. Not from college as I have done that 4 years ago. Sometime in August 2009, I was accepted into a management trainee program of a development bank. Out of more than a thousand applicants all over the country, I was 1 of 40 chosen to undergo a year long training in various banking activities - economics, finance, accounting, treasury, trust, development banking, retail lending, etc. Needless to say it was a very intensive training program full of exams, reports, presentations, and on-the-job training. Unfortunately, there were people who did not make it to the end. But fortunately, I did! So yay! Now deployment seems to be the next concern. As with any management trainee program in any industry, your department assignment after is what really counts. I hope the powers that be and the universe will conspire in my favor. I believe it.

My spa business is opening this Sunday! Yes, I am officially an entrepreneur. Sometime in May, I decided to put up a business. I thought of the 3 things I loved most - travel, food, and being pampered. So the most logical thing for me to do is to put up my own spa since setting up a travel agency and a restaurant would need my 24/7 attention. A small spa would be the most feasible business project given my day job. I searched for a good franchise since coming up with own concept at this time would be too arduous. So that's how it started. So the next 3 months were spent planning, meeting with my franchisor, organizing my finances, looking for the perfect location, hiring staff, coordinating with my interior designer, directing the contractor, managing staff training, buying supplies, etc. You know the drill. Looking back, I can not believe I was able to do all those things with all the other events happening in my personal and professional life. So ladies and gentlemen or the select few of you who follow this tiny little blog, The NailXperts Spa: Nail Salon and Body Spa BF Resort Village Las Piñas Branch will have its grand opening this Sunday, September 26, 2010!

The family front seems to be going well too. I mean there are still some issues within the family that have yet to be resolved. But I am confident that the Lord and the law will side with the truth. The truth fortunately is on our side. So to you, my mother's future ex-husband and our estranged loser of a father, beware. Payback is imminent.

Meanwhile, my love life has hit a temporary glitch. Yes, we recently broke up. Ok, maybe not too recently. But it's just now that I have finally admitted and wrote about it. I guess it is true what they say. When your career starts to take off, your personal life suffers. When can I have it all? Because I really do believe I can have it all! Screw that old saying.

So there. I hope and pray that the next few months would be even better. Cha-ching!
