Being with Accenture for 5 years, I always knew that being awarded in Gantimpala would be a very big deal. The first time I stepped into the project I'm currently on, they were having their mini-awards. The winners in this 'mini' awarding would be our project's nominees for the quarterly Gantimpala awards. If by any luck, the screening team (usually managers and above) would like/approve the write-up for you, then you will be named as winner. The quarterly awardees would then again undergo another round of screening and if the write-up is really exceptional, the person could win the Annual Gantimpala award.
Luckily, I was one of the awardees (200+ out of Accenture's 50,000 employees in Philippines alone).
Pure luck? Out of humility I would say that. But then again, I would have to thank the awesome write-up of my colleague which thankfully put me on this spot. So here's me holding my ever precious 'Kalinga' award.
The awarding happened at Marriott Grand Ballroom last October 14. The best thing about this event was that if you happen to win, you get to tag along a plus one to witness the awarding sesh and your 15-seconds of fame onstage. I brought along my Mama and I was really happy because I know I made her proud. Sharing some random pictures:
I've always been a people person. I can easily relate and befriend people, most probably because I am super talkative. But recently, I have learned the art of being of friend and a leader as well. I always try my best to empower people, to make them see the best version of themselves and to establish their faith that they can do anything they set their goals upon as long as they work hard for it. It's not easy of course, but I'm not a quitter (maybe in Clash Royale when I'm losing haha). I don't quit on people just because they're hard to deal with. I help them get over themselves and just move on from the shit they're experiencing.. and together, we deal it in style. :) Work could really get the best of us, but if we learn how to separate it from our personal lives, then trust me, it will make things a whole lot easier! :)
Have a good start of the week everyone!

Me and Thet, my manager and friend!
And oh here's my award :)
Here's a closer look at my 'awardee look' (haha im really enjoying the awardee thing). I got my hair curled in a salon near our house - Acro Polish (pun intended as it's situated in Acropolis Mandaluyong). My make-up was done by my sister Lai. Ugh I love her work! I wanted a simple but glamorous look for the night and I absolutely got it! :)
