  3. lest we forget, July 2006, did an ocular visit and 1-full day meeting with Cebu officials and decided that the company should set up in Cebu!

    as a birthday gift, hired Office manager in October 2006, and in record time of less than 1 month was able to open business complete with needed things for the office - including a well designed signage!

    as another birthday gift, hired VP Sales and Marketing, and in record time of less than 6 months turned around the company to profit.

    what else can we add?

    oh, the 2 awards...yeah...but that was expected. :P God bless the company here onwards

  4. The 1st year was exciting and challenging. It was a great learning experience that has prepared us to take on year 2 as we grow globally! Thanks to Linnor and Junnie for getting me into the Team!

  6. Again this is something for Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Grabeeee, your Office does not only survive but exist despite business reversals.

    Just hope and pray, it does not go up like skyrocket and come down like stick! God forbid!

    Who is the man behind this seemingly unbelievable Miracle? Puede bang i--'pirate'?

  8. HI PINAYHEKMI & DENDEN!
    Thank you, thank you!!!

    HI JUNNIE!
    I would have wanted to add your two items kaya lang, I might sound too mayabang. Baka merong di maniwala... Mwehehe....

    May broadband connection ka sa taas eh that's why our prayers have been granted... Thanks for bringing up the idea of expanding to Cebu! We'll do our best to grow E.

    HI JERRY!
    Well, don't thank me... They really wanted you but had to go thru me muna. Hahaha... I really look forward to an exciting year 2!

    HI MIMI!
    I love love love your comment! May patama din! Hehehe...

    Alavar's is good... Go easy lang when ordering as their recipes kinda taste the same... may gata. Hehehe...

    HI PAPARAZZI!
    It's not just the work of one person. With very good managers here and in Manila steering the company, plus very highly-skilled software engineers, I'm quite positive E would see more growth in year 2. God-willing.
