I just got back from Manila after spending a whole week there. Most of my time was spent with Ming and the 4 other Nuffies we brought along for the management training program.
We spent our days in the training program and we spent our nights recapping everything we learned and strategizing how to apply it to our company.
Thursday night though was a night we all decided to take off and go find the Nuffies at Nuffnang Philippines. The hotel we were staying was just 5 minutes walk away from our Nuffnang Philippines office at the Fort Bonifacio. So we walked over there.
When we got there it was 7PM and all the Nuffies were all still hard at work.
Someone asked me just a few days before how many Nuffies we had in Nuffnang Philippines. At first I thought it was just 8 but that day I realized there were actually 17 Nuffies already at work there. One thing we all love in our offices all over are snacks. So Nuffnang Philippines had their own home-made vending machine that “dispensed” chips.
It was a joke of course. The chips below can be taken out for free. I don’t even know what happens when you put the money at the top or who collects it. All I could see was that it was written on the “machine” that “Honesty is golden, so honesty system please”.
After hanging out in the office for a while we hauled for dinner. The Filipino Nuffies took us for dinner at a rooftop bar called Skye. It seems almost every city in the world now has a rooftop bar called “Sky” or some variation of that.
Here are some pictures we took that night.
This is Anne. I’ve known Anne for 3 years. She was one of the early account execs that we hired at the company.
and… here’s Elise, Mimi, Jel and me 🙂
Me and Trixie.
Trixie is one of the people I know who seem to love alcohol more than she does water. Â Last year when we had our Nuffies Christmas Dinner she got so drunk we had to carry her home and she ended up missing her flight back to Manila the next day.
The Nuffies in Philippines are all a fun bunch and that’s what I kinda love about our company. Everywhere I go I see Nuffies from different backgrounds and different countries that share the same culture.
Everyone in the Philippines seems really optimistic now about their economy and how their country is growing. There is development everywhere and a growing middle class of very well educated people. My favourite part about the Philippines though is the Nuffies we have there 🙂
