Teletech Grand Recognition Night (Part 2)

The night started spontaneously. When you enter the ballroom, they would be guiding you through your table and then they would tell you to help your self with the food. This year's theme is Rock Generation.

The host of the night. The two at the center with the big bosses.

After everyone is done eating and are ready to be drown into the night of awards and surprises. The night started with a mini flash mob at around 8:30 PM. The number was so energetic- enough to fill the room with fun and excitement.

The Cainta Rave Dancers along with the Teletech Idol.

The band.

The beyond talented Cainta Rave Dancers in their cute varsity jackets- which I love.

This night is as well the grand finals of the Teletech Idol. Since this year's theme is Rock Generation, the Teletech Idols sang their favorite rock anthem songs from the 60's up to the present.

They are all really good. They made every one in the ball room all party rockin'!

I won't hold it long to announce who the winners were. Drum rolls please!

2nd price goes to Dumaguete Delivery Center singing her own rock version of Rolling in the Deep- woot woot!

1st place is from Roxas Delivery Center doing Sweet Child of Mine.

The grand winner goes to the Cebu Delivery Center with her entertaining rock version of Proud Mary. She nailed it!

While the Teletech Idol battles the stage, the nominees are as well on the edge of their seats to find out who made it to the top, and they are as follows:

After hearing all their achievements and how they top not just one month but to some three, and how they all made a huge impact to their sites and to their fellow associates made me really think they all deserve the spot, and they indeed need to be recognized for such. What really got me drooling is the iPad 2 that comes with the plaque and certificate...:O This night was actually raining iPad 2. Too bad the rain didn't fell on me..haha We were waiting for the final announcement of the big boss for more surprises or for what to expect on 2013.

This year is the celebration of Teletech's 30th anniversary. Ken launched the I am Teletech video, and challenged everyone to create their own video. Whoever does the best video would win $5,000. This year's focus is on charities. Ken has donated $100,000 to schools and organization that the employees had nominated, because he thought that the Philippines has gone through a lot of disasters, and by helping charities and schools would be the least he could do (standing ovation). What really kept us standing is the proposal for next year's top 30 employees that would make a difference to the company is that, he would fly all 30 top employees for an all-expense-paid-vacation to Florida to experience first hand Disneyland, as he noticed how his kids love the place. He thought we might love it too!!! I was crossing my fingers from then on....lols!


What really made a mark for me on Ken's speech is when he said "Why would I be given an award? This is your night. My job is simple. All I need to do is to make everyone believe that things are easy and achievable, so that my staff and you would think it is doable too." "What I do is to push, push, push people to do their best".

After event shoot.

I was beyond grateful being able to attend special events such as this. Even if I was not part of the 10 Most Outstanding employees of the year, being able to travel, taste wonderful food, be in a very grand place, wore an elegant dress, being able to walk on that yellow and red carpet, and got to meet amaziiiingly over the top hard working employees makes me really think that I am a winner here too. I never in my entire life thought that I would be recognized for doing what I do. Hey! I'm not an expert at work, I commit a lot of errors too. I only believe that doing my best in everything is always the key...xoxo!


I need to keep you hanging for the after party gig that we went to. I noticed this post is way to long already. Thanks for hanging around, and for the comments, I am truly grateful..:)

Teletech Grand Recognition Night 2012 (Part 1)

Teletech for two years now recognizes employees who went beyond that extra mile. They flew in top associates all over Teletech sites across the Philippines to Manila for an all-expense-paid-trip to be recognized and thanked for their hard work and dedication, and I am so glad to be one of those employees.

Yipee! I'm invited!

When I first got the notice to be photographed as the top associate for the month of August 2011, I was shocked. I was thinking I wasn't that good last August. I may be playing humble but that is really what I thought.

It all started with this.

All the more I wasn't expecting to be part of the team who will be flown over to Manila to be nominated for the top 10 employees of the year for 2011. The news came to me 2 weeks and a couple of days before the departure date. I was nervous and excited- I remember. I went crazy over my dress, accessories, my flight details, and everything, and this how it all turned out.

Not very clear. I just used my phone with this shot.

I really love this photo of us.

Waiting for the chauffeur.

The event was held at the Marriott Hotel. Let me share to you some of the photos I took on the venue.

I hope I put justice on the post that I have published about my dress (here). I would also like to extend my thanks to everyone who helped me picked my dress for this event, and for the thoughtful points on what to pair it with.

Arriving at the venue. With the bosses. I realized I'm the only agent here.

With my lovely girls Ate Shey, Janet, Cate, Mara, and me.

With my lovely supervisor!

We were greeted by a grand ballroom, women in their glamorous dresses, men in their tux, a variety of sumptuous food, and unlimited beverages!

Inside the ball room.

I can hear that gulp of ice cold beer.

The best ham and smoked potato salad.

Soup and bread, anyone?

The entire dessert table.

Salads and on that far end is the Sushi table.

This is the best! Not very clear though...;(

Grape, Dragon Fruit, Pineapple, and Melon in a stick.

I am sorry that I need to cut the post in two parts as I’d be flooding this page with photos unfortunately. Watch out for my next post on how the event went and the after party of course. Thank you for keeping up with me and for continuously visiting my loved page. It means a lot to me seeing your comments too. Until the next post…xoxo!

 

Special Trip bound for Manila

I arrived at the airport like what I was told- 1 hour before the time of departure to check in. I also run around the airport to make sure my baggage are all checked. I immediately got into the line- just 3 passengers away from my colleagues. I waited for like 20 minutes before the line starts to move. 3 more person and I'm good to go. The ground PAL employee announced that the aircraft is already full and that they are prioritizing passengers who has a connecting flight. I was like- seriously? I'm the only one that's left! I need to catch up an event! I was actually panicking thinking I'll be the only one arriving NAIA!

I was so ready to take off...hap! I can see my last name misspelled too...:(

When this campers thought that the check in area is the best place to continue camping..lols!

While I was making a few calls, one of the supervisor went out to meet me, and then later did I found that there are 3 of us. Good Lord, thanks! I got to meet Ate Merl and Mara. We were then informed that they are going to have special trip to Manila at 12:30 PM. I was at first frustrated about the whole flight hassle, but I was also thinking, this is the best first-time-air-ride ever! I can now attest that flight problems and delays are not such a good place to be...hmmph!

I was as well ecstatic to see how small the aircraft is. And it contains only 3 passengers when it landed, and we are like less than 15 passengers from Dumaguete. I really feel like a celebrity...hahaha No joke!

The baby jet!

My newly found friend Mara.

I eventually enjoyed the flight with Mara around. We talked about how excited we were for the event. The three of us really had a fun talk about the small delay of our flight and how we brand ourselves as late-comers! Well, we have the best private plane and landing experience, and I have met new friends. That for me is the highlight of being on that special ride...xoxo!


See you at the big night!
