Enchanted Kingdom!

it is my first time to go to Enchanted Kingdom as far as i remember that the amusement park was opened way back 1995 and I haven't had a chance to go there. I was surprised that our company has a treat to us for the Thanks giving day. We had a company outing and I did grab the chance to go there, I was really excited to see the amusement park and i did ride all the featured rides in their amusement park such as the anchor's away, space shuttle, log jam and rio grande rapids. it was really fun.

Jack's Loft

Last November 20 we went to Eastwood City in Jack's Loft to meet up and have a bonding moment with our precious teammate Lindy who transferred to an airline company a year ago. We had a great time talking and bonding that night. and i hope that we can still have a chance to meet up again because that night was not that long for us to have bonding because Lindy needs to go home early and have a flight to CEBU.

Prize Money from the Contests

Last October 4, 2008 we did received the cash prize that we've won for the past two weeks. Our team received an oozing 8 thousand box. the good thing was, our team will be having an outing. we're very happy because we have an extra pocket money for the outing.

Casbah Dressup your Work Station Contest

Last September 26, 2008 we designed our work station in line with the launch of our newest version of QuickBooks Version 2009 and the company named it as Casbah. Casbah is located in North Africa.



we did some research about their culture so we designed our work station using the colors of the mardigras festival as well as with Arabic accent, we also did use the arabic colors for the letters on the walls.

inside the walls we did show on each work station the new features of our product support. and the good thing was we won again. all the efforts that we had was paid of. congratulations to our team!

CTC Process

Last Friday, our account had a contest by designing our workstations and walls about our new contact process (CTC "Click Then Contact"). Our group decided to replicate the website where the customers will go in case that they need to talk to the tech support.

We designed the walls, using out talents and skills we were able to make our design way different with the other teams/contestants. Most of the Judges were amazed looking on what we did and received compliments. They said that its very informative. Our team won four thousand pesos for the design. Thanks to my teammates who helped us and for the support, without you folks we will not win....

My Long Lost Friend

Last monday our phones were disconnected though we have internet lines we can't make phone calls. Since were the only business here in manila and we don't have any counter parts in India and Tucson our boss decided to send us to another site where we can do phone calls. We were transferred from Shaw site to Eastwood site. And since we will go to eastwood we sent an email to previous TL and informed her that we will be going to Eastwood.

TL Beth went to our work station in Eastwood and when i saw her I hugged her tight. We have lunch together with Jasper and Mitch. We ate in KFC and few bottles of beer in Somethin' Fishy.

Week 4 Intuit SSCM Monopoly

To add excitement on this week's game we decided (Jasper, Joross and me) to put mini games every playoffs. Teams will be rewarded and penalized to make it more exciting and to see their strategy. This week we placed pictures of shopping items and the teams need to guess the price of each item.

The will can get and place the item on their bucket whenever they step on th block and they are also obliged to pay the penalties indicated on the block.

Day Job....

Just for Fun.... ö look at the picture, this is my new job.... i wish this is true haha!

Week 3 Intuit SSCM Monopoly

This week, Piggy Banker (me) and the Board of Directors (Jason and Joross) did ammend the rules of the monopoly. The major change in the rules is the teams can start building their houses if the own at least 2 lots of the same color block. We changed the value of the GO block, instead of teams getting the 200 dollars when they pass the GO block they will get a certain amount depending on their performance during the week based on their stats.

Team Dark Knights was the first team to build their house. After the play off still Team Just Beach leads followed by Assassins then by Dark Knights.

This is it! the last leg of the race, after 8 blazing weeks we come to the last game of the season. the most exciting games that we had on the floor. too much preparation from the materials to game proper.

the season finale game was the "Wheel of Fortune", we created the board as well as the roulette. it was Jason's effort in creating the wheel and the words to guess. i did the game board for the words to guess and the money on the wheel. TL Joross did the computation of the money. It was really fun becasue its a game of luck and strategy, we had 3 rounds for the game. Team Kelly is blazing from round 1 and round 2, Team Menny was able to win round 2 and luckily team Beth was able to catch up and win the game in Round 3. it was really exciting game.... im gonna miss this season.... watch out for the next quarter's RNR.....

7th Leg of the Amazing Race: Intuit SSCM Edition

The seventh leg is one of the most exciting week for all of us, because the scores are really good for the week so we need to have a tie breaker. We decided to have a mental game again but this time it’s more difficult. This week’s game is ANAGRAM.

Based on a computer game we will give them a word or a phrase and they need t rearrange the letters to form the word that we are looking for.

Example:

LISTEN

Clues à the art of ( -ing), the normal thing that you do when someone is speaking in front.

Answer: LISTEN

Team Menny won the game but Team Kelly was able to guess the bonus item.

6th Leg of the Amazing Race: Intuit SSCM Edition

This week, we challenged the teams on their physical skills. The game is balloon tag. 3 members in each team participated on the game and the objective of the game is to pop the balloons of their opponents. Each player has their own balloons tied on their knees and then will form a circle. When the go signal is given they need to pop the balloons of their opponent using their legs. The player that will keep his/her balloon will win the game.

Note:

No injuries happened during the game proper but what I can say is Shawn feel on the floor by Mina’s legs. Shawn even asked for assistance to stand him up. It was really fun and memorable that they look like kids for awhile.

5th Leg of the Amazing Race: Intuit SSCM Edition

This week, we challenge the teams on their probing skills. We played the Pinoy Henyo. Each team has their set of words to guess. Each team will choose 2 members that will play. The first player’s role is to probe questions and the second player’s role is to answer it with a “yes” or “no”. Player one will wear a hat where we will place the word to guess.

(Shawn... having trouble guessing the word..... hahahahahahah)

The game is really fun because the player doesn’t know what to do. Team Beth was able to guess a word.

4th Leg of the Amazing Race: SSCM HighLand Edition

4th leg of the race is one of the most funny games that we had. the teams were crazy as well as our Shift Manager and Client Manager was able to see the reactions of each team members.

4th leg's game is "pairs". we prepared 18 pictures of pictures placeg in a 6 by six matrix block. each team needs to finish the game by picking 2 blocks and must have the same picture. the team that has least number of mistake will win.
