We finally bid our goodbyes to the building which sheltered us for over three years near Ayala. Okay, we have had a lot of complains about this old building but it brought us a lot more of good memories though. What makes a perfect office anyway?
Well, for me, I care more about the working environment and the people in it… Better facilities after that. You know I came from a simple yet has positive atmosphere in La Salle for seven years and I am no stranger to some 30-year old buildings.
I can still remember my first day in KForce because I got lost and went around Salcedo Village by foot! Hahaha! I got even more confused because the address “Alfaro St” was the one written on the building not the new name “Leviste St”. And the rest is history.
At PCCI building, we left there the band of such friendly yet protective security gentlemen, cheap miryenda at Jolly Jeep, food choices at Paseo Center, bazaar along Ayala Ave, comforting Jaime Velasquez Park, cheaper parking along Tordesillas, accessible foot bridge to Glorietta, a number of Starbucks nearby, and the feeling of being in the heart of Makati business area. You see, the three years gave me that chance to adjust the metro life.
The last day was unexpectedly sad. It caught me off guard. I kind of felt upset. It was just a week of preparation on our part. To break the ice, I took pictures of the place for the last time.
"Rjay, kunyari sobrang busy ka :-D"
Charlie is showing our balikbayan boxes :-D
John and I went around Jupiter St and Buendia Ave to take a look at the new building and to teach me how to get there. We indeed had a stroll before we roll to Buendia.
"John, tara samahan mo ako sa Buendia. Stroll tayo sa bago nating office :-D"
Of course, there is always better. Currently, the coziness of our new office is so much a plus. I am loving my desk and chair – just forget about the cold air around my neck. I also love the accessibility to a great deal of restaurants nearby so we have much choice now. I am still testing the waters at CyberOne. But I know this change is for the better. AJA!
Here's my new comfy place :-)
And my new LCD monitor :-)
