Typhoon Glenda and its wrath on my business

It was 3am when I woke up to the sound of howling winds. It felt as if our house will be torn to pieces.. I hugged my dog who was sleeping beside me and silently whispered "Lord protect us." Then the electricity was shut down and it was the start of a long night.

I did not realize what time I dozed off but I woke up at 6am to read several sms from my staff at Mineski. He said the door was broken but no need to worrry because he has evacuated the customers already. I was so clueless what kind of damage he was speaking about or what type of evacuation happened. I rushed to the shop only to find this in our main street


Trees were laid on the street as if they were carefully uprooted and laid to rest on the concrete ground. I practiced my Gran Turismo skills as I needed to go to the shop.

And I found these:




My glass panels has been broken! Good thing there were no damage in my computer units. My shops' damage is nothing though compared to the next's stall damage:



the whole ceiling fell apart (photo taken in the middle of the clean up session). 

My shop now is under repair but its business as usual!




What's happenin' so far?



Well hello! I can't believe its been 6 months since I updated my blog! I have undergone a lot of stress this November but I am very positive that changes happened at my business, made me a better person. 

For the positive things first:

1. Mineski International has done effective promos which boosted my sales at Molino branch. Here's some of their raffle winners from Cavite:

Tumbler
Lanyard

2. I went to Korea!!

3. I attended my first professional seminar since I graduated: Major Accounts Management and B2B Selling from Guthrie Jensen.




4. I am spearheading the committee for 10yr HS Reunion on Dec 26!

5. Its nearing a month now since I started attending gym classes!



Now that I have mentioned the great things that happened to me I dont think I have any time to discuss the negative things!
