G7

The Group of 7 (G7) is a group consisting of the finance ministers and central bank governors of seven major advanced economies as reported by the International Monetary Fund: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States meeting to discuss primarily economic issues.   

Ooooops, that's not definitely us .  G7 is a group consisting of 7 Gorgeous women working together in building their dreams. 

There was a study found that people with close friendships are happier.  It is a kind of interpersonal bond between two or more people.

G7 started 2014 when the company,  GrainPro Phils., Inc., had a team building activity.  We usually hire facilitator and organizer for such an event but due to financial constraint, we had to organize the event ourselves.  Since then, all the company events are now being handled by the group.

Let me introduce the group.

Ivy Gayle  - Alluring and sexy at 36.  Fresh ideas contributor.

Kaye - the one who has the kindest heart among the group.  Our mathematician too.

Lerva - the artist and the game thinker. The brain of events.

Michelle Renee - the giggler who often ran out of breath when laughing. But also the most thoughtful.

Lizeth Ann - experienced and clever, tough life had taught her to be strong.

Sharon - the lead organizer.  Single at 32 but happy.

Practical and wise - that's me! The eldest and wisest.

Most Outstanding Freeport Worker

It started in 2001.  SBMA Labor Center launched a program which they call...10 Most Outstanding Freeport Worker.  This is an annual event where they get to choose 10 candidates from the nominations done by all the locators and SBMA departments.  I was initially nominated in 2009.  Unfortunately I was not chosen.  Then GrainPro decided to nominate me again in 2014.  Carrying all my experiences and achievements with me, I passed the initial and final interview and finally chosen as one of the 10 most outstanding freeport worker.

The awarding was held November 24, 2014 at the Subic Activity Center.  2 females and 8 males from different companies inside the Freeport Zone.  I was emotional thinking of my Father who maybe so proud if he's there with me.  I dedicate all my achievements to my Papang who taught me to be a better person.

My 5th in China

One of the best methods of researching for a vendor and its technology is to visit them.  The visit will enable you to examine the solution firsthand and find out how they work from the other side of the world.  And of course you get some fresh ideas about how to address the company needs.

Brainstorming at Amcor on the composition of material

That is what we did in China.  I went there with Tom and Michelle to visit Amcor, our supplier of SuperGrainbags.  Discussed useful ideas on how to improve the product.

Then we visited Brita, one of our suppliers too.  It is always good to see how the raw materials used for our product being made.
