March 19, 2006. My day started early today. I woke up 6 am and fixed my self. Today's the day that we are going to meet up with the client and go into series of meetings.

I knocked at Dindo's room, which was upstairs and he was still getting ready so I decided to smoke outside for a while coz it was freezing! Well I guess smoking didn't helped that much, I still felt cold.

When Dindo got ready we went to Mike's room and he was already fixed so we headed to his car so we can look for PRG's office. We looked for the address using mike gadget on his car and was surprised that it was just actually beside the hotel and was verymuch walkable. lolz.

Now that we found the building we tried to locate the which space was the office at. Mike and Dindo headed towards the main door and found out that the door they went through was for a cosmetic surgery! Mike was laughing when I caught up with them going out of the door. Mike said that Dindo was planning to get a nose job thats why he went to that door! lolz :D Okay door number one wasn't that promising so we looked at the suite number and found that it was actually upstairs on the second floor.

We walked to the courtyard entrance of the bu
ilding and went up the stairs we saw this girl from outside the window and I was thinking "hmmmm.... may be she is Michelle"...... and I was right! as we got to the hallway we looked for the suite number and knocked at the door. Together with my heart beating faster and faster we waited for a response. Then there she is! the girl that I saw from the window opened the door and yes she is Michelle.

As we got inside, she immediately took us to our working place with our own computers and table and everything. It was really nice to have an office
there even just for a while (or a sec! lolz)

We started to meet up and talked about the account, how we can improve it and handle calls better.



It was really nice that we were able to meet up the people in costa mesa. They let me feel that we have to work as one, as if I was really working there to be able to function correctly.

By the way lunch was really great! we had pizza and as Chris and Kathy said "Give them the All American Pizza" :D.

so the meetings are all over and were done with the tasks that we needed to do, but the day is still so long. So Mike decided to take us to the mall and see what we can buy.

We looked around the mall and see what we could buy, but we kept on converting the prices into pesos. So at the end of the day, we weren't able to buy anything.

we got tired of walking around the mall we decided to eat. we looked for the food court and Dindo instantly craved for rice. I was hesitant that we would find a store that serves rice then again I proved my self wrong! there are chinese foodshops at the mall that serves rice!

The food looked okay and the serving was really big, but dindo didn't mind the serving and ate it all! lol. He ordered chopsuey which is one of my top favorite foods of all time! it was really bad it didn't even came close to the chopsuey that I know. I know some of you would say that may be its the authentic taste of chopsuey, but hey! I know what tastes good and bad and sadly its really bad. But then again Dindo was starving and he didn't mind the taste as well.

Now that we are done touring the Mall we met up with Mike and went back to the hotel to rest after a couple of hours he took us to New Port Beach about 5 minutes from our hotel.

Unlike the tropical Philippines it was freaking cold at the beach. No one was actually swimming, no one could! Anyways after taking a walk at the pier we went to the nearby stores to see if there's anything that we could buy. But there really isn't any worth buying. there were just some shirts and things i don't think would remind me that much about the trip, so I decided not to buy.

On our way back to the hotel we saw another hooters restaurant. Mike had been joking around that resto coz it seems like there's a Hooter's resto anywhere we go!

Later that night we met up again with Kathy, Michelle and her friend and Chris. We went to this, If I may say... "all Amercan Bar"... It was like how i pictured it to be... just like in the movies. Nice....

So that night we drank (a few mugs of beer for me coz i really cant handle a lot of liquor) and talked about things like work but more than that we bonded...

After gettingn drunk we went for food to this japanese restaurant just across the street.... the problem is that "I dont EAT RICE".... so again they forced me to do something..... the night went and they had some more drinking in the restaurant while watching baseball.

After that we decided to go back to the hotel and take some rest...... It was really a nice day..... I feel so blessed that God has let me into it.
