I have been organizing events
ever since I joined my current employer last March of 2009. To be frank, I had
no background in organizing events - back in New World Makati City Hotel, I was
with the Front Office. Nonetheless, in Ayala Property Management Corporation,
the position of Head Concierge is expected to be the events organizers of the
properties they're assigned to.
As it turns out, I have a knack
for organizing events. It was a talent I did not know I had. When I joined One
Serendra in 2012, it was to be the culmination of my career as an events
organizer, because the events in this property have a budget of PhP 300,000.00
to PhP 500,000.00, not withstanding sponsorships that we can still get for each
event.
Big budget, unlimited
possibilities for events equals loads of challenges, which glad to say, I have
weathered through.
Why am I being sentimental as I
post this? Well, today is my last event in One Serendra. I will be managing a
different Ayala residential complex come January 2016.
My first day in One Serendra, I
was asked to attend the Residents' Christmas Party for 2012, organized by my
predecessor. And now, I'm sitting in the Piazza Veranda, 3 years later, praying
so hard it won't rain for, surprise surprise, my last event which happens to be
this year's Christmas Party.
Currently I’m caught up in such a
flurry of activities, as everybody’s racing to finish the set up for the party.
Our caterer is Omakase, I have a Bonanza roast calf station, I have 100 bottles
of wine, and 60 liters of beer – it’s supposed to be an epic night, I’m just
really praying so hard for the clouds to blow away. Everyone, please pray with
me.
Here’s to my last event in One
Serendra!
