Message of thanks..



When I was at my previous job, I usually receive gifts from the clients - uraro, jollibee or chowking value meal and even whole party treat for my birthday. That was then. Now, my work does not involve customer service so it is such a breeze of magic when people give food.

Recently, there were two separate occasions when we people expressed gratitude through food.

1.   One of my most favorite food is "bubuto" or "boboto". Around 3pm a familiar lady arrived unannounced - in a rush. We have guests that day - auditors, which means that we have to give our full attention to them. We were on the middle of looking for the office's assets which should've been existent at moment the auditors ask. The lady who just arrived (an officemate's sister) kept on bothering us.

"Tulungan nyo ko, sumabog ang bubuto".   It did not explode. She lost grip of the bilao of bubuto which was wrapped in a yema wrapper, just how we see offerings on Sunday Masses. the next scene was me trying to salvage the part which did not fell on the floor. Goodness! we still have the 1/3 part.

After the reenactments which was done around 6 times, the lady finally explained what she brought in. It was her token of appreciation to the kindness that the staff showed to his brother. Kuya John almost did not survive his ordeal. He was in paranoia. He apparently recovered.



2. Amid the talks of being only office which does not have Valentine's Party, none of the simplest plan prospered. We were about to accept that Vday should just be celebrated with the loved ones, when the On-the-Job Trainees saved the day. They completed the required minimum training hours days before. They just came back to say thank you by means of 1 bilao-ng pancit malabon.
