Assistant doesn't play Golf

Capitol Hills Golf and Country Club

Mt Malaraya Golf and Country Club

Tagaytay Midlands Golf Club

Intramuros Golf Club

I am never a fan of the sports nor do I intend to learn it. Golf is the sports of the rich and famous and Im not...well not yet. Buying a complete set of club is an arm and a leg for an ordinary citizen who rents a pad and commutes. Thanks to tournament sponsorships of my retail brand, I am able to see and get inside the Golf Clubs without having to pay membership fees. Here's how. A club club or organizers approach "Brand X". We give cash or ex-deal payments to the organizers in exchange or media mileage and free access to the golf club, which I get all the time.

You know the toughest task of an assistant in these events. The "Rich and Famous" treats you like a rag. Its either they don't treat you right or demand things to make you feel helpless.

Becoming...

This is the typical me inside the office. There's the phone that constantly rings asking for my Boss, not Miranda Priestly but her name should be pronounced with a little american black accent. My ancient PC that stops every now and then when im using Word application alone and takes forever to even view my facebook account. The rest is my army of stapler, fastener, pens, highlighter, puncher and tons of paper of all sorts.

Being an assistant taught me alot of things so I came up with the

ASSISTANT FACTS:

1. Theres still business in FASTENER production.

2. Puncher is essential for assistant position.

3. This position is an extended BPO career, "____, ____ Office. She's unavailable, can I take a message?"

4. Some assistants don't make coffee for their boss, including me.

5. Assistants carrying bags of merchandise and suits in hangers are so TRUE.

6. In parties, your Boss gets acknowlegement, assistants don't (just like Betty Suarez)

4. Bosses get gifts, assistant gets the unwanted stuffs. (which I like just like the Marc Jacobs bag Andy Sachs got from Miranda)

5. Assistants get invited to parties, dinners and other events.

6. Being an assistant is a hell of a job.

Dreaming Big

When my audition with Pinoy Big Brother did not turn out well, my life as an assistant began... Armed with my ID background and no clerical experience, I fought my day through staple wars, photocopying, punching holes and fastening papers on folders. It felt like the Nanny Diaries movie, this time its the Assistant Diary x Stylista. First day was a breeze when I got to go out and visit the boutiques of retail group i'd like to call Brand X. Thank god fieldwork is part of my task or else i'd loose my sanity in the four corners of our cubicle-type office with no color and design.
