The Callbox Software Development Team (Iloilo and Davao) had their Team Building with the Davao IT Tech Support Team at Seagull Mountain Resort  located at Buda (Davao-Bukidnon Road). It is a 1 and ½ day fun exploring the resort to foster to foster awareness of the team spirit and to reinforce commitment to the team’s shared goals and objectives. We rented 1 small campsite (750) for two girls and 1 big campsite (1,200) for 5 boys.

Last April 10, 2010 the team, at 6 am after shift we had our breakfast at McDonalds then back to office to get our monthly incentive. Then we rode on Joe’s car headed to Budda, it is a 1 ½ hour trip and you can experience the very cold temperature of the place. At the campsite, we ate our breakfast, and then we rode on a tour car heading down to the Seagull Falls. We then jumped to the pool to get ourselves wet because we were all did not take a bath yet.  Then without changing a dried clothes, we headed to the mountain and tour around the resort, we enjoyed taking pictures and amazed on the place. We saw the big crucifixion at the end part of the place. It is the best place for solemn and retreat. Even though the temperature was so very cold, we manage to tour around the place while wet (Oh my God I still can’t imagine!)  Because we were having fun not to mention Sir Karlo was reading a Bob Ong’ book.

Then after the tour, we took our clean bath at the clean comfort room and stayed in our campsite, some of the boys were already sleeping while the others invaded our campsite and we played UNO, yet we were having fun , because it is not a mind game, it is a game  that requires presence of mind. Then, after that some prepare the Dinner and we all ate. Afterwards, we all stayed in the guys’ campsite watching “The Ninja Assasin” movie on Joe’s laptop while drinking 2 sets of Gin + Green Lime, then we all sleep out of tiresome no sleep day.

On the morning 5:00 am we can already feel the very cold temperature as if we were in the refrigerator. Then at 6:30 am we took our breakfast and bought a Native Hot Choco in the Cafeteria.  And lastly we packed our things headed to the car and leave Seagull Moutain Resort.

It was the best place for Team Building, retreat, family outing and etc.

I really did learn something about networking from our last Saturday activity in our CCNA laboratory where we are group to create a network topology using the real routers, switches and using the Tera Term, I really did well enjoy and very lucky to have a group mate like Ate Claud a really smart ECE board passer, kuya lito from Link2Support and my batch mates and Ate Mona. Then later this afternoon, the network admin in our company, transfer their new server with the new routers and switches to the new room, as for the developers its rest time because the server will be down. I am really happy to be with them again in the networking area. Oh! My! I was shock when I saw I think six server like proxy servers, VPN, asterisk and etc., though it is so hard to connect what they doing because there are a lot of cables(though it is in color coding) including the data and voice cables, the console cables and other Ethernet cables. In configuration, my! Nosebleed! Configuring the server using FEDORA Linux operating system (asterisk -r …), bow for Sir Ogie and Sir Ken.

I need to learn first JavaScript and then AJAX. My mind was twirling when our software head told me to make this functionality using JavaScript and AJAX.This language is really indeed very useful in developing websites.

 

By the way, if you are looking for a Job, wanted to be a call center agent and you are good in communication skills, apply now at Callbox, 9th floor Landco Bldg Davao City. They still need more agents. (One of our HR assistant told me to spread it to everyone).

Here are some of our memorable moments:

In my first 1 week of my OJT, I really learned a lot, feels like I stayed there for almost a month, although I am alone in our department as a on the job training student, it’s not driving me to feel discourage or don’t like what I am now, although there are some point that I feel alone, bored or even no one can talk to, thanks to the very nice people there who really so very nice although there are some employee out there from the other department including these agents who I feel they dislike me of reason  that I don’t know because it might that I am closer to guys, in which I stay my vacant time with the networking technician (can’t they get My co-Ojt were there!) and some of the network administrators there I like to be with (one of them was my brother’s co-dancer) or they don’t like my face(lol). But so what? It always happen wherever I go. I feel comfortable with our software developers head, she so kind, understanding and above all a very good programmer, I am talking to she and I want to be like her.:) I learned a lot from her, so much! I am also fortunate that Sir Chris, taught me how to configure VOIP phones (but actually he let me do his job), but I like it. I also know more about chamberlaine’s life (I hope I spell his name right).

 

There are a lot more weeks I will be exposed in the industry, and I am so grateful with this experience. As well as coping with our CCNA 2 class. Well gotta go, I have to answer our 2^nd quiz in Lesson 2.
