Globe Business - What Kind of LEADER Are You?

The @enjoyGLOBE tweet about finding out what type of a leader are you, somehow caught my attention and I just immediately took the quiz - clicked the link from their post and answered right away! While I do know my kind of leadership style, it's still interesting to find out from other resources what style that could be - in terms of their own categories. So I hopped over the page and tried to find out what the fuzz is all about. I have to say, it's really worth-it!

There are several questions that one must answer. It took me just five (5) minutes I guess to finish 'em all. Of course it kinda doubled because I took screenshots so I can blog about it hehe. That's how interested I was ... especially since the prizes at stake include the new Blackberry Bold 9900 and Samsung Nari (and yes, I'm still loyal to my Samsung Galaxy SII). There weren't many questions but I did take them seriously and thought piece by piece how I would react to every situation presented. The results did show a striking resemblance and somehow a confirmation of my style. I guess!

What's been dubbed as the "iphone 5" is now officially called the iPhone4 S. There were earlier rumors of the new iphone as their invitation to media groups tagged it as their commonly known line, let's talk iphone. There have been a lot of talks since summer about the new iphone since they've always released a new iphone since 2007 during the summer time and this year, fanatics had to wait 'til fall.

The long wait is over then! Although, the features are really tempting. I believe the iMessage is something to die for! Ok ... that's too much though haha but I guess I'd love to have that functionality. That's one tool I love the most about my Blackberry too, the BBM. It's an easy access to all your contacts. While it limits the ability to message everyone as in "SMS" function and can only message users with a Blackberry too, it's still a powerful ability that BB users have. Adding it to the iphone makes it a superb smartphone then. This new service will allow iOS 5 users to send text messages to each other over Wi-Fi or wireless carriers' data networks. I guess Nokia tried this system via their PTT (push to talk)-ala-walkie-talkie mode but carriers weren't ready for that back then. And now, this new service entices users, even Android fans like me. Does this call for a switch?

Android Toys are cute! That little green thing with its horns in all its glory! Yeah that type!

When I first received my Samsung Galaxy SII (and my personal review on it is still due ... some other time), my first thought was really, to accessorize it the best way I can, like how I planned to do it for my Blackberry. From keychains, to matching casing, cellphone charms, cellphone holder, etc. I love it with a tinge of pink! I dunno, but the urge to really personalize my phone has been a "must."

Creature Android eats Apple iPad!!!

The decision to get which phone then has been a tough task as well. Top choices included the Nokia N8 Pink, iphone 4, and the SG S2. With SG S2 being the cheapest at the new postpaid plan I was getting, considering the features I wanted, I grabbed it then; that time being exclusive to Globe. Oh boy! I must say, the reviews about it are really true! It sure does eat the iphone alive! RAWR!

My Blackberry phone has served me for two (2) years now and running to its 3rd year. So far, it's been pretty reliable on a lot of things. I guess on top of the recent releases of other smartphones, this one really surpasses 'em all. Well, I did recently get a Samsung Galaxy SII for my personal phone usage but so far, I still rely a lot on my "BB" hehehe.

I use the BB for work-related items or business matters. Since we acquired a corporate line from a local network provider, I was too careful not to use for my personal needs. I knew that the corporate line was a bit pricey and yet, it wasn't all-unlimited data for about a year. After the contract was over, my company resorted to the all-unlimited data plan for all BB users. This was an advantage for us since we get a lot of emails everyday. My emails also contain a bulk of 2MB-sized attachments every hour due to the automated performance reports. While there's an option to turn it off at a certain time, use filters, etc. I couldn't get important calendar notes / invites then for my conference calls if I turn it off. It won't synch with my BB so I might forget. In the end, I didn't use a lot of filters and I didn't turn off the email synch. This costed me a few bucks every month then since everything in excess of our corporate plan gets charged to us, users. I had to endure that for a year. LOL.

Anyway, the 2nd year was better since we already got our unlimited data plan. This means more Facebook and Twitter time for me! LOL. But yeah, it won't cost me and my company anything extra anymore. Plus if I use it, it gets charged to me anyway (during the 1st year) so I'd rather utilize it properly hehe. Sad to say, I paid more extra amounts than the rest of my colleagues (except for a few others who are heavy users). On the floor where I'm located, wifi access is not working unlike in the other floors. So I'm doomed to use the 3G network or connect via GPRS and stuff ... which gets me charged instead. Pffft! But yeah, those times are over hahaha. With unlimited data, I work and socialize via mobile all the time! As easy as that!

Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar - This is my favorite scent thus far; and it's been my scent since 2009.

Chai's Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar Haul! $76.50 Altogether!

I am really not a fan of over-priced signature perfumes or EDT and the likes. I did try some of 'em though and I did love two (2) scents at most:

Versace Bright Crystal - I think I used it from 2005 to 2006++
Armani Diamonds - Beyonce - Probably used it around 2007 to 2008++

However, I guess I got too-used to them and their scents died down. Is there such a thing? LOL.

Until I got introduced, first to Victoria's Secret Vanilla Lace. I guess it was some time in 2008 as well. I have lots of relatives in the US and they normally send me gifts from the Victoria's Secret Garden Collection; which has been recently renamed with a new look as VS Fantasies.

I thought that the only Bubble Tea branch in the Philippines is at SM Megamall. T'was in 2009 when I first visited that branch. It became a hangout place for me and my cosplay sister Naoko. I love their servings! All the items in the menu are mouth-watering! It can be a bit pricey for some, considering that the serving size is just enough for one, and it won't pass as a complete meal, I'd say! Nevertheless, you'll enjoy every bit of it!

I personally fave their strawberry green tea (cold) and I normally order it in the largest size. Their milk teas are also superb! Doesn't taste like Nai Cha from Chowking. I mean, nothing wrong with that but the one from Bubble Tea is much better!

This time around, me and my colleagues went to their branch at Wilson St. near Greenhills, San Juan Metro Manila. It's such a cozy place! I love how they've set up the place where you could hang out all day. I wanted to sit down on the far end where the couch looks soooo comfy and I think I could just lie down and drink milk tea all day! LOL. However, that place was taken haha. We had to settle to another place and start nom-noming!
