Typhoon Millennium

I think that at least 90% of the blogging community will write about the recent typhoon that hit our country – Milenyo. I shall confine myself to using the title and this short introduction and instead focus on a fear that I had in college about turning 26 years old. I can’t actually recall why I feared that age or number but it stuck to my mind so I just thought of writing something about that year. Actually, I made a wrong computation. I thought I was 26 years old at the turn of the millennium. Anyway, here’s the highlights my Y1998, the year I turned 26.

That year, the most important highlight was the birth of our B5 in January. JML and I celebrated our first year wedding anniversary in June. (Are you good in math? What did you find out?). It was also in that year that Tarlac Telecenter, which I headed, was top in postpaid sales region-wide & top 3 nationwide and acted as an OIC for North Luzon Telecenter Operations for my then superior Bing Payumo.

In conclusion, it was not actually a year that I should fear but more like a year that I should embrace as it was year that jumpstarted a lot of important events in our lives. One of the most important jumpstarts was that the following year, I was chosen to head the spin off Central Luzon Telecenter Operations. That started my now 7 year old experience in regional operations management.
