An OJT Experience

I arrived at Magallanes at exactly 7:10 a.m. It's an hour and 20 minutes early to our call time. Upon arriving, I walk a little to find a place to hang by, then I spotted Jollibee in Alpha Land. I don't want to be a loner so I texted my friend Karizza Camus. She also happened to arrived early that day. To kill the time, we had breakfast together with Celine Yongco and Menmen Azores who are also an intern at East West Bank and a Thomasian like us. The orientation started around 9:30a.m.

I was impressed on our trainer's candor and eloquence. Sir Manny and Ma'm Debz had delivered the orientation excellently with all their fun learning group activities that had promoted camaraderie among us. The talk didn't bore me at all. In fact, my brain is absorbing every bit of information it has to absorb. I would also like to mention how Sir Manny defined the word "Uniqueness." But before that, I'll keep you hanging for a while.

We have been told that we were the 2nd batch of trainees in the EWB Academy. Being the 2nd Batch, we were all pampered with free food, snacks and unlimited refill of coffee. This coming Wednesday, we will be having our Day 2 classroom orientation at Herald Suites Hotel. I just can't wait! *squeal* to know what's waiting for us there. I would surely enjoy the place and it's ambiance. 

Enough of keeping you hanging. I did that because while writing this blog, I'm in a bad mood. Someone is keeping me hanging. Just to get even, I did it to all of you who's reading this blog. HAHAHA. Moving on, this was how Sir Manny defined the word "uniqueness". I'll just use my own words but with the same thoughts intact. For most of us, being unique is mostly based on it's physical aspect. He told us that uniqueness is the way we see ourselves through our values. We are distinguished on how we interact and treat others. Of all the things I have learned, this had been retained in my memory and I feel like sharing it because it all made sense.

To end this blog, I would like to share some of the pictures in our OJT at East West Bank.
