Vanilla Bite

I miss having Vanilla Bite from Bakers Fresh. Actually I've just tried it once. I should've bought more. I should go back to Shangri-La Plaza.

Better return to Shang soon or at least look for a nearby Bakers Fresh branch. I'm kind of craving for this pastry. And I want lots of it.

24 July 2016

This day marked my 11th month with BPI.

I made a little 'celebration' to commemorate the day by having tea and cake. How British. I should've had a black coffee and something Jewish or at least Mediterranean.

Havin’ a cup of #Tea and a slice of #VanillaTigerRoll for a mini-celebration.With my journal and #HappyJar that witnessed 11 months of #VisionAndPerseverance. Because someone saw somethin’ I did not. #BlackPearlConsultancy

Indeed, it had been 11 months of perseverance and adherence to a vision. Working back at BPI is sort of a dream come true. I didn't technically wished to be back but I hoped for something, which I've been doing these past months.

How so? It all began after I finished reading The Last Jihad series, which I completed in June 2014. I wondered what it'd be like to be in the shoes of Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy. Of course, minus the former's tough experience in Jerusalem prior to his assignment and the latter's... I don't know. McCoy is my favourite character in The Last Jihad. 

Patience is a virtue indeed and I thank God for allowing me to have this experience.

I also remember an encounter with our managing director months before I came back to BPI. I saw him at the Legazpi Sunday Market at the first half of last year. I approached him just to say hi. He said I looked familiar. Wooh..

October Thoughts

For all the thoughts I've got in my head, I don't know how and where to start. I haven't gotten online for quite a time now (I do consider more than 3 days of offline pretty long) that thoughts have already piled up.

So far, so good. But I'm pretty anxious how to break the news. I'm not good at such things. It's either I beat around the bush or just go candid. My goodness. 

I'm happy with how I do at work. I'm learning a lot. Not a lot of people seem to realize that learning from a veteran businessman is pretty priceless. I may not have a classroom-like setting but I do get to observe a lot of things. This way I learn about this and that.

Meanwhile, I'm quite counting the days when I'm going to have my trip back to Manila. I was asked to come before the month ends but I requested for an extended stay. I definitely miss my friends back in the metropolis but I'm apprehensive with the Manila traffic.

As for now, I'm taking things in stride. I am walking by faith with the hope that I'm doing the things I'm supposed to be doing and be where I should be. For the mean time, I am thankful.

I'm thankful even for the simple discoveries I've had recently like the following:

*Long John is delicious

*The Puto with cheese at Benguet Supermart's Bakery is very delicious

*I love Mucho Pan's Pan de Yema.
*I still love Pan de Coco.

*I am such a bread lover.

Well, these things I wrote here are random. Perhaps tweets I haven't posted on time. Yeah.
