At 6:30 in the morning of February 21, 2009,
I began to prepare for the day and was very excited.


I knew that assembly time at school was at 6:30am but I took advantage of the time since I wanted to take a ride with my dad going to the first place. Haha.
Having done what I needed to do, as I checked on the clock,

I gasped when I saw that it was exactly 7:45, my parents were already waiting for me in the car. Crap! Dad’s work is at 8:00am. What the hell am I waiting for, I asked myself, Christmas?

So half-running and walking I hurried back to the car and my mom was staring at me with questioning eyes.

Well, duh, of course you saw me before! I obviously had to get back because I forgot something –camera! ! I can’t leave the house without it.

I’ve been to that place, and just stayed at the car every time we go there though. It was so overwhelming when my dad introduced me to those Taiwanese ladies giving some compliments. There was also this lady I’ve met, she’s my dad’s co-designer when he was still connected to the other company way back when I was in grade school and until now they are still colleague, reminding me of how things went through ten years ago when she met me at my uncle’s wedding. Oh Crap! That was so shame and so funny reminiscing those childish days. Hahaha! I think she couldn’t imagine how big I have changed.

Anyway, it was a fun experience. I enjoyed a lot wandering around the place, the production, the showroom and all

. They were also very accommodating to us. They even prepared coke for us after the long and very tired walk we had.

at the canteen with shalee, Mikyu, Aimee, Leslie and Me. stopping over for a drink :)

I also enjoyed my job being an assistant guide to my classmates. And yeah! It was like I was one of the employees or I would say the owner. Hahaha! Jokes! Naaah! Of course not! I was just a “fan” and a “proud daughter” showing to them my dad’s creative designs. And I’m sure you‘d feel the same way if you were on my shoe. Wouldn’t you?! Yes, you would!!!

Our next stop was Shemberg Corporation..

We reached the place around 10:30am. We were so late. The company was expecting us to be there as early as it should. So when we entered their conference room or wherever we was, when the speaker arrived with a very nuts face and scolded everyone for being so late, WOW!

I feel so tired and restless. I mean I don’t feel like listening to him. Actually it wasn’t really our fault after all. Blamed it on to the bus drivers for not following the said time!! Despite of what had happened, I’ve learned from it though, of how time management is very important to us especially when we already go to work and as IE’s we should be on time. Right? Jeez. How pathetic we were. Hahaha! Shame on us! Hahaha. :-P anyways, that’s all for Shemberg Corporation.

So after we had that awful visit, its lunch time!

So we thought of stopping over at Danao’s nearby sea shore to have our lunch. The food was great. After we had lunch, we get off the bus and had a minute of walk along the shore, taking pictures of the wonderful place.

our food. yummy fried chicken and pork chop.



wow! Lester's really hungry huh!

Picture Taking.

After an hour and more of break, everybody in the bus was sleepy. I took candid photos of people sleeping.

i first caught my seatmate, Paul.

Sir Donn.

Sir Ritchie.

Classmates

We went to our last two companies owned by the Ong Kin King Group of Companies, The Danao Paper Mill and the Durano Sugar Mill. It was a so-so experience. I feel sad though, coz the plant was not operating when we went there and most of the students didn’t have the chance to see how paper is produced. Good for me because I’ve been to that plant before with my group mates in IP Lab. Since we were assign to have a research of those two particular industries. I feel sad too knowing the fact that the Paper Mill was shut down since February 18, 2009, due to low demand, that’s already long. Right?!

Overall, I really had a great time. I was very tired though but because of my classmates, with our never ending chats and never ending picture takings of blooper moments especially to those sleepy heads on the bus that I was, taking pictures of the cool and nice places I’ve gone to, I enjoyed a lot. I will never forget this fun experience.
