BY Upos Ng Santelmo 08:00am Hangos. Takbo. Talon. Hablutin ang time card, sa makinarya ibaon. Eksato sa time in, kahit trapik sa daan. Pagpasok sa opisina’y roon na rin ang almusalan. 08:30am Make-up si ate. Pulbo’t gel kay kuya. Limistick. Pamada. Importante ang Postura. 09:00am First task of the day, lamesa’y iligpit. Siksik.
