You're On The Convergys Team Because...

I was once given a Power of One award when I was still with Convergys. Besides the recognition, they gave us something I can call a loot with stickers, notepads, Power of One cards, plaque and a very nice bookmark. I still have that bookmark which reminded me 25 reasons why I was once part of a Convergys Team.

YOU'RE

Enthusiastic ~ Helpful ~ Patient

Committed ~ Respectful ~ Supportive

Optimistic ~ Resourceful ~ Loyal

Caring ~ Responsible ~ Persistent

Imaginative ~ Dedicated ~ Flexible

Confident ~ Courteous ~ Skillful

Trustworthy ~ Efficient

Friendly ~ Understanding ~ Creative

Hard-Working ~ Terrific

I'd like to say that I once didn't know I have all these but of course, I am no perfect! It could be unbelievable to many that a person can have all these characteristics but I know and I believe that we all do. But being human won't allow one to have and show these characteristics at our best all at once. For now, let me just reminisce and be thankful that I was once part of a great team and made friends with great people!

Celebrated the Yuletide Season with Childhood Friends

They are not just childhood friends by the way, they are my lifetime friends! These people have not just made my childhood happy and memorable but also contributed to the ME now. I can enumerate a lot of fond memories we have had as kids, then as teens and as adults but I may tire you with that. On second thought, I don't think you'll get tired with almost endless happy, dramatic and life-changing stories and experiences we all have had but still, I will not enumerate them out of respect.

It was the first week of December when Herbert came home from his work abroad for a month long vacation. We have other friends from different part of the world and rarely does a chance like this come so, prior to his homecoming, we've already made plans for another get together (We had one last September with Ate Mercy). 

We all agreed on a potluck so each one of us pledged via our Facebook group (yes, we have!) on what we are to bring. Aside from the food, we managed to have our schedules free on a weekend date plus Jo allowed us to use her house's rooftop for the gathering. 

It wasn't just us who really enjoyed this rare get together but our kids and parents too. Well, minus mine.

I'll have to post in my other blog few more photos of our memorable Christmas gathering. I just wish I had the chance to be with them again last January 3, it was Herbert's birthday.
