My Friday was a bit stressful in the morning. While I was on my way to the office, I got an sms from an officemate telling me that a lunch meeting with my "favorite client" (a callcenter) was set up (with out my prior knowledge) by one of our company's partners (a leading broadsheet) and my presence was requested. WHAT the f@#%! Its Friday and I'm in jeans and flats! It's a big NO NO for me to go to a client meeting not dressed in a proper attire. I can't believe this is happening to me right NOW, aside from I'm already running late for an hour (coz I played with AJ for too long..)I have so many things planned to do during my lunch break (personal aesthetics kinda stuff). Before agreeing to this lunch meeting, I have to make out a plan on how to accomplish both my personal and professional responsibility.
The Plan: prepare materials for the meeting-go to salon for a quick fix (ok fine! I'm having my underarm waxed :P)- buy a closed-heel shoes - go to meeting. Looks like a plan! So I replied to the message and told them that I'll join the meeting, but I'm in jeans because I was not adviced beforehand about this appointment.
Everything went exactly as planned. Glad to have received my new credit card (my old one expires next month) for I was able to purchase a pair of shoes from Celine. I arrived at the meeting place, Itallianis @ Mall of Asia and was so glad to see that even our client were in casual wear. Thank God! It sure is embarrassing if they are all in corporate attire.
The meeting went well and showed very positive reception on the services that we offered them. After the meeting, Marlon (an Account Manager from the Broadsheet partner) told me that some Mercedes cars were on display at the mall. I thought it was just the normal Mercedes you see on the streets of the metro, but when he said.."the one that Kimi drives"! I went overly excited..Kimi! the love of my life.. a Mclaren-Mercedes F1 car on display. Oh! I got to see this myself. I'm glad he asked me to come and even offered to take a picture of me with it. Oh yes, I was pretty excited. I only see this on TV and pics of it at F1 sites and whenever my friend Erwin watch a US Grand Prix (he sends us photos too). I have yet to watch a race, LIVE! I really wish my next out-of-the-country trip will be in Penang, Malaysia to watch an F1 race.
I guess I can say that my Friday isn't so bad after all. Except for the aircon of the car that went dead (again!) in the middle of our ride home while it rained. Thus, I was wiping the windshield from moist from Katipunan to Fairview. What a DAY!
