My #SMSelfie: SM City Cagayan de Oro

By
This probably isn't my first time visiting SM City Cagayan de Oro, this was during my Christmas Job in April of 2012 with these kind Sales Clerk of Bags Department where I was assigned.
Order of Visit: 3rd
Preceded by: SM Mall of Asia
Succeeded by: SM City Cebu
Date of First Visit: Between May or June 2011
Companion: None
Purpose of Visit: Get a Certificate of Enrollment from SM Foundation, Inc.
What I Bought: During this visit, I couldn't remember if I bought something, but this Mall is special to me since I've worked here so many times during Christmas Season and Summer season, and this is the Mall that I have been so many times that I couldn't count it how many times I've been here. So many things I've bought here for sure.

As an SM Scholar, we're also given opportunity to work during Christmas and Summer vacations, and because I don't have classes during summer vacations, I always avail this opportunity to buy school supplies for the coming opening of the school year. All Christmas Job and Summer Job I worked at SM except the December of 2011 when Typhoon Sendong struck Cagayan de Oro.

On my first summer Job, I was assigned at Bags Department for the month of April and was transferred to Ladies Shoes in May for another one month.

That was a bit challenging because I can't immediately relate to what the customers need ha-ha. But it's just a matter of learning with a bit of flexibility to learn the basics of selling. I learned a lot from the Parisian, to Cosé, Heartstring, Belladonna, and all the brand's and types.

I made a lot of good friends at SM because I was assigned at different departments. A month after, I was moved to Ladies Shoes. It's a bit sad because I am already used to work with the bags people. They are very nice to me, all my Ates and Kuyas at Bags department are very nice and kind. But it's part of the job and I need to move on from the bags. Ha-ha.

Time for the shoes. The Ladies Shoes. Where you encounter a whole lot of different characters of customers. But the key thing is, be patient to the customers no matter what. This is where I first learn the "LS C.O" code when I go to stock room. That means I'm calling the stock Clerk of LS (Ladies Shoes) because there is a C.O or customer order. Amazing right? Ha-ha. That usually happens if the customer asks for another color or size of the item, so you need to go to the stock Clerk and check if there is available.

During Christmas Season we also work at SM. Most of the time we will be assigned at Gift Wrapping Section because of the wrapping demands especially that SM offers free gift wrap for item bought at The SM Store. I learn a lot from this department about gift wrapping and wrap folding to make a pouch and a bag. Just the basics in gift wrapping because I never had the chance to learn how to put the ribbon and the tricks in making it.

Another department I was into during my summer and Christmas Job were Snack Exchange where we learn to buy buy-one-take-one items such as chocolates and chips, Smartbuy where you can buy shirts, and other for less RTWs at The SM Store. Usually I look for this department when I visit SM Malls because I know the items here are less.

SM City Cagayan de Oro is special to me. I learn a lot from here, and I have made a lot of good friends here. They were kind. Some of them will buy me school supplies for the coming opening of the school year, and some of them bought me a pale of biscuits for the kids in the province when I went home. They were all kind and generous. That experiences and the people I've known there makes the SM City CDO special to me of all the SMs.

Reaction Paper for the movie The Count of Monte Cristo

By
The Second Part of the Reaction Paper on the Count of Monte Cristo Movie. The Count of Monte Cristo is a great story that helps you to realize how far the reaches of vengeance can really go. When the Count is going around ruining people it seems like he is more of a machine than a person. It seems like he has no emotions and can’t forgive the people who hurt him. Although some people might argue that the people who wronged the Count truly had what was coming to them, some of the Count’s actions could be seen as unnecessary. In the end everyone will be punished or rewarded by God and you shouldn’t be worried about what other people do or say as much as you are worried about yourself. “God will give me justice,” this line which was engraved in the wall on the prison was retained on my mind when I watched the movie” The Count of Monte Cristo.” This movie amazed me very much because of its excellent theme. I really like the story because it has a mixed of drama, suspense and rom...
