Thank you MSI-ECS

I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation to Mr. Jimmy Go for trusting me with the business of Targus and Ozaki. Most of all, I would like to thank the people who supported me and who appreciated my efforts as well as those who value my worth in MSI-ECS. Thanks to Nery and Mhy D. for initiating the wonderful powerpoint presentation gift to me. It made me teary-eyed. I never expect your group (GBO's with Aileen and Badeth) will be the one who will send me such a wonderful going-away present. I truly appreciate it. Mommy Tim, Ms. Jenny Bondoc, Ms. Fanny Lim, Marife and Rene, for a wonderful lunch treat at Sizzling Pepper Steak. To Ms Jackie, Trish and Kath of Power Mac Center for always giving me strength and hope. To Benjie of PC Express, your status message: yo! yo! yo! Bon Voyage is very much appreciated. For Aileen, Badeth, Nery, Ronald, Gianne and Louie, for the final lunch despedida together in Crisgard... I will surely miss Crisgard and you guys. Carlo, for the talks and the long letter. And for the rest, seriously, I am speechless, for the hugs and the kisses I received on my last day. Ms. Peng, for the strong words of encouragement that you gave me..... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

This day marks my final day in my 1 yr. and 4 mos. (started in April '08 to August '09) stay in this company. I felt both happy and sad; happy because I will be able to explore more of my capabilities and strengths in the new company that I will be joining, sad because I will be leaving behind all the people I love and treasure in the company. But as I have said to those people who indeed made a mark in my heart (you know who you are): "I left MSI-ECS only as an officemate but I will never leave as a friend!" I will be just around the corner, you know my personal number, YM and Facebook account hehehe, the IT industry revolves in such a small world and definitely we will meet again. But I will surely miss you guys! It will surely feel different when I wake up on Monday and will start my day not with MSI-ECS anymore.

To the 2 obvious people who have wronged me; Vince and Andrea, as well as the others (again, you know who you are), I know you guys are happy because I am no longer in MSI-ECS. But equally, I will never forget all the things that you did to me. That made me stronger, that gave me the courage to look for a better job outside, that removed me from my comfort zone. You did me a favor. Thank you! No worries, when I have time, I will write an entry for the two of you separately.

Goodbye MSI-ECS, you've been my humble 2nd home for the past 1 year and 4 mos. Thank you very much for everything. I wish you success and more power! Till we meet again!

Resigned at MSI-ECS

I officially tendered my resignation at MSI-ECS (Phils.) Inc. as Product Officer of Ozaki effective August 07, 2009. It has been a fruitful year for me working in this IT distribution company. MSI-ECS gave me a good break in the IT industry, considering I don't have any experience, I was given a good position as the Product Officer of Targus and later on shifted to the Product Officer of Ozaki. My total length of stay in this company is 1 year and 4 months. I am now serving my 30 days after resignation period for proper turn-over. Thank you Mr. Jimmy Go for believing in me!

Thanks for the dealers who supported me, particularly Power Mac Center (Kath, Trish, Jackie, Sir Lawrence and Ms. Leslie), PC Express (Benjie, Sir Randy, Sir Oli), Octagon (Ms. Arlene), Silicon Valley (Ms. Tina), Infoworx (The Mafias: Sir Ferwin, Sir Mike, Sir Jake, Ms. Gena), TCA (Ms. Heidi), Complink (Sir Jerry, Ms. Monette, Dahlia), iStudio (Ms. Eva, Ms. Jen), Qualicentral (Ms. Minnie, Ms. Grace), Automatic Centre (Ms. Twila), Microstation (Sir Terence, Gen), Brilliant Technologies (Ms. Ailyn), Acenet North EDSA

I would also like to thank the people and friends that I met inside MSI-ECS, thanks for the strength and the determination. Thank you for the trust, the compassion, the loyalty and most of all thanks for staying true to me. Aileen, Badeth, Nhery, Carlo, Ronald, Ethel, Che, Luv, Cathy, Mommy Tim, Angel, Maricel, Fanny, Mace, Donna, Paul, Meg, Issa, Irene, James, OJ, Glenn, Hanna, Janice, KC, Faith, Jayson, Beth, RJ, Francis, Michelle, Jho, Peng, Yoj, Jay, Bong, Gianne, Rain, Derick, Arvin, King, May, Jenny (2), Ms. Lea, Ms. Leah, Ms. Wendy... To anyone I forgot to mention, I'm sorry, there are a lot of you who touched my heart one way or the other and I totally thank you for that. I don't want to say goodbye but See you soon guys!

To all those who have wronged me, to those who created folds in my life in MSI-ECS. I also would want to thank you because without you, life will be boring for me inside. You know who you are! I am not saying I forgive, but Thank you! I bid you farewell and goodbye. I can only think of 2 major ones (you know who you are).

I am leaving MSI-ECS with a clear conscience as I enter into another chapter and challenge in my life. To a company where I know I will be able to grow more and will be able to appreciate more of my capabilities and strengths.

The NEW Macbook Pro Family

Apple recently launched their new Macbook line-up. Eliminating the 13.3" Macbook Aluminum and changing all Macbook aluminum to Macbook Pro line-up. This was announced just today by Apple. Believe me, even us, working in the IT Distributor industry didn't know about it until today. Even the people who works at Apple Premium Resellers doesn't know the release as well. This is the bad side of Apple as a vendor to the distributors and resellers, they don't announce the upcoming release ahead of time so that we can actually forecast. We have upcoming stocks of the old model considering there are new line-up that is coming. Sigh!!

Anyways, for all of those who are planning to buy, I believe the new line-up is a better choice considering it is around Php 2,000 cheaper as compared to the Macbook Aluminum which sells at Php 71,990, now the New 13.3" Macbook Pro retails at Php 68,990. In the United States, the New 13.3" Macbook Pro retails at $ 1,199.00 ( Php 59,950). For all those who are interested, MSI-ECS, one of Philippines' Apple Distributor has placed their orders already. Power Mac Center, one of Apple Premium Resellers already placed their orders too. It should be available in the market in no time. It is now available in the online apple store here in the Philippines, address is at http://store.apple.com/ph

Downside I see in this new line-up is that its battery is non-user-replaceable unlike the old Macbook Aluminum. But its battery life lasts 7 to 8 hours of power.

Please find the complete specifications of the New Macbook Pro Family series.

Consumer Business Review (MSI-ECS)

It is always a heart-thumping experience whenever we have business reviews with Mr. Jimmy Go, the president of MSI-ECS and Ms. Princess Chua, my boss, the SVP of the company and the Sales and Marketing Manager for the Consumer Division. We do this every quarter, semi-annual and annual. Since the holidays are over and its January, we did our annual business review for the whole consumer division. Products under the consumer division are as follows: Samsung Printers & Consumables, Samsung Monitors, HP Deskjet, Laserjet, Scanjet and consumables, Imation, Targus, Ozaki, Genius and Sony Digicams. We started at 2:30pm and ended at 9:30pm, good thing Mr. Jimmy Go treated us for a delicious Kenny Rogers' Sandwich dinner.

Business reviews is a good way of looking through the business of each and every product line and improving what needs to be improved. This is also a good way of voicing out concerns in other divisions and departments. What I don't like about this is the commitment and the pressure that will be given to you. This can also mean a restructure of the whole division as well. Scary but it is a fact that we all must accept.

Hopefully this 2009 will be more productive and be more successful for the whole division particularly for the products that I am responsible for, Targus and Ozaki. Good luck to all of us!

Ozaki

Hello to all music lovers out there, today marks the formal launch of OZAKI iPod speakers and subwoofers in the Philippine market. It is being distributed by MSI-ECS Phils. Inc. This is new product line of the said company under the consumer division. This is MSI-ECS' answer to the famous Altec Lansing and Edifier.

Ozaki's iPod speaker, better known as its iMini Cute is a 5 in 1 product. It is a docking station for your iPod, it is a speaker, it has a line-in function wherein you can play any other mp3 players, it has a USB function wherein you can transfer files to and fro your iPod without removing it from its dock, it is a clock and an alarm and it is an FM radio as well, it is portable as it is powered through DC and also with 6 AAA's batteries if you want to bring it anywhere. Another of Ozaki's iPod speaker line-up is its iBand Duet, it has all the functions of the iMini Cute except for its portability. The iBand Duet has a max power of 24w and it delivers a crisp and clear treble with a kick of bass. If your find JBL and Bose too expensive, then this is your answer. It gives you the same quality at a lower price.

Ozaki also is the first to launch a 2.2ch Subwoofer Speaker System. Meaning it has 2 sattelite speakers and 2 bass (dual-bass) as well. It is the first in the Philippines. Trust me, the sound quality is superb and the bass boost is awesome. I can't feel the "thump" of bass in an Altec or an Edifier but now I can on an Ozaki. I have been on search for a speaker system that would satisfy the crisp and clarity of the sound as well as the heart thumping beat of the bass at a lower price. To my dismay, only Bose reached my standards but the price is really insanely expensive. Ozaki is the answer to my needs.

Ozaki not only gives you the clarity and the crisp of your favorite music but also gives you the heart-thumping, mind-boggling bass you've always been looking for.

It is being distributed by MSI-ECS Phils. Inc. Please call (02) 688-3732 or email jlim@msi-ecs.com.ph for inquiries.

COMDDAP at Cebu City 2008

COMDDAP (Computer Manufacturers, Ditributors and Dealers Association of the Philippines) 2008 was held at Cebu City in SM Trade Hall last July 3 - 5, 2008. Working for MSi-ECS who happens to be a member of the said association participated in the exihibit. We, the product managers, were asked to go to Cebu to man the booth for MSI-ECS. It was a very very very tiring but a great learning experience for me and I guess for everyone as well.

We rode Cebu Pacific going to Cebu on July 1. Our flight is at 3:40pm but unfortunately it got delayed for 2 hrs. We just lounged ourselves in the uncomfortable and unpleasant Manila Domestic Airport. We reached Cebu at 7pm already, went to our hotel and ate dinner. The next we visited MSi-ECS Cebu Office and performed last minute checks before we head to the Cebu Trade Hall in SM City Cebu. We lift boxes, count, displayed and etc. Dust, Stress, Anxiety are our companion during the ingress. We manned the exhibit from 10am to 7pm from July 3 to 5. On the last day, the exibit was extended til 8pm. The egress is better than the ingress base from my experience. Our flight out of Cebu is at 8 in the morning. We didn't had time not even for a few hours to actually roam around Cebu. We didn't actually feel that we are in Cebu. But then again, it is a business trip and it is very much expected so I got no qualms anymore. We were allowed to go to work at 1pm tomorrow which is a good compromise as well.

COMDDAP is an association of Computer Manufacturers, Distributors and Dealers here in the Philippines. Besides MSI-ECS, other distributors such as BanBros, WSI, Lamco International, Brother joined as well. This is where they display their products either for showcase or for sale.

MSi-ECS' 10th Year Anniversary

The company I am working for celebrated its 10th year Anniversary yesterday, May 27, 2008, at the Rizal Ballroom of The Makati Shangrila. The company rented out the three ballroom divisions in order to hold a spectacular anniversary celebration. The event was organized by Sir Maurice and his ManCom team. I personally was stunned with the outcome because the event is very well organized, planned and aesthetically competitive.

MSi-ECS, being an IT distributor, invited all its vendors (HP, Lenovo, IBM, Acer, Sony, Apple, 3com, APC, EMC, Fortinet, Buffalo, Autocad, Trend Micro, Contex, 3M, Imation, Targus, Samsung, Apple Ipod, Sony Digicam, Genius, ......) and its resellers to celebrate this crucial milestone.. The hosts for the night were Marc Nelson and Andy Nine. There were also broadway performers; Pinky Marquez, Jaimie Rivera and etc. MSi-ECS also distributed awards to its resellers with a generous prize of an all-expense paid trip for two for 3 days and 2 nights at Amanpulo.

The food was great, smoked salmon for appetizers, cream of tomato for the soup, chicken with risotto for the main course and chocolate mousse for the dessert. It is truly a successful night for MSi-ECS, a fun filled night for all of us. Tiring but all worth it.

Here are some of the pics:

New Suit at Topman

Yesterday was so tiring as I scout for a perfect suit in preparation for MSi-ECS's 10th year Anniversary to be held at Makati Shangrila Ballroom on Tuesday May 27, 2008. At first, I was gonna borrow from a friend to save money but everyone is telling me to buy a pair of suit instead. I have my old suit, the one I wore during proms and etc. but it is already out of fashion and it is so big and it is really embarassing to wear it during that event. I am not a huge fan of outdated fashion. hahahahahaha! Anyways, after searching for the whole afternoon in Shangrila, I decided to drive to Robinson's Galleria and check Topman out. Again, Topman saved the day, I found a nice coat that matched with the pants that I bought a month ago. It is nice, sleek, slim and beautiful. I can't wait for Tuesday!!! I already know what dress shirt and tie to go with the coat and the pants. YIPEEEEEEE!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahahaa

Here is the pic of the suit:

2nd week at MSi-ECS

I just want to share to you my experience so far in my 2nd week of being a product officer under the sales & marketing - consumer division handling Targus for MSi-ECS.

I recently opened a new channel / customer for MSi-ECS. We sampled Targus laptop bags and peripherals at SM Supplies Station last Thursday (4/24/08). The process of sampling in SM isn't simple, it is very detailed and organized. It's a lot of work seriously. Happily, those samples were approved by Ms. Jessa of SM Supplies Station and we are called in for our consultation today (4/25/08) at 3pm. Before that, do you know that I was trying to call Supplies Station since 9am yesterday and only got a confirmation at 6pm in that same day hahahahaha! Believe me, calling SM Corporate Office takes 90% of your time already. Anyways, me and my boss, Ms. Princess went to meet with Ms. Jessa. The meeting started at 3pm and ended at around 5pm. It is such a small world. I won't share every detail because it is confidential (CLUE: the chinese community here in Manila is really small, because in the corporate world, I noticed that almost everyone knows everyone or has some kind of a connection to or with each other hahahaha). It was more of an informal meeting bec. besides business and professional talks there are some story telling, laughing & joking considering it is our first time to consult with Ms. Jessa. Ms. Jessa, by the way, is the contact of my mom for Paperline. We are a supplier of SM for a long time already that is why I have contacts inside the corporate office. The demands of both parties have not been laid or confirmed. Ms. Princess still needs to talk to Sir Jimmy, the owner of MSi-ECS for the demands that SM Supplies Station is asking.

Surpringly, I am feeling the pressure and the stress in the office already just in a short span of 2 week.

ANYWAYS.... READ ON...

Deals that you can't close...
Meetings that gets rescheduled....
Sales that gets cancelled...
Hard work that gets unnoticed...
Effort that gets wasted...
Quotas that wasn't reached...
Margins that falls beyond your expectations...
Bosses that never gets satisfied...
Customers that demands more than you can give...
Suppliers / Vendors that nags you for more purchase orders...
Officemates that hates you even if you aren't doing anything...
Sales returns that makes you go crazy....
Expenses that blows off....

At the end of the day, the conclusion is still...

Life's unfair... we have no choice but to deal with it. Like I said in my previous post, be positive! It is either deal with it or be shipped out. Pressure, stress, being tired, lack of sleep, sleepless nights and etc. are all part of the ball game.

CLARIFICATION: I am happy working with MSi-ECS and I have no complains, having the best boss, handling a premium product, surrounded by good and kind people except for a few, you know who you are hahahaha sorry!!!! What more can you ask for? WAIT!!! i know the answer.... increase the salary! hahahaahahahahahahahahaha

ADVERTISEMENT: If any of you who are interested in purchasing a Targus bag for your laptop, it is Lifetime Warranty. It is very famous in the US and EU market, that is why we are targetting it in the Asian Market. Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan knows Targus already why can't we? When I say it is nice, I mean it. I'll never handle a product if it is just sub-standard. Help me, Help us promote and spread that Targus is a quality laptop bag. You can reach me at my direct line (02) 688-3732 or email me at jlim@msi-ecs.com.ph

Think Positive!

People always say "THINK POSITIVE!" it is easier said than done though. Human beings naturally tend to look at things negatively resulting to stress and anxiety and it may lead to depression. We have to control the negativity inside us. It will always lead to our downfall. True, thinking positive will always exude a better aura. Yes, it is the usual Hallmark greeting when people say THINK POSITIVE but for me, it is the best Hallmark greeting ever invented. It is hard, yes, believe me, I'm a pessimist more than an optimist kind of a person but I am trying to teach myself everyday to be more positive. It is a life-long learning process but as long as you know that you have an ounce of positivity left, plant it, nurture it, it will grow to a beautiful crop one day.

A good friend and officemate response was....

"Eh di reload tapos kasa ulit!" (Then, reload again!)

When I said.....

"Kapag naubusan ng bala, YARE!" (If you ran out of bullets, your DEAD!)

And followed it up with...

"Always think positive!"

Because I shared to him how my day went in MSI today. Today was the most stressful and tiring day I've experienced during my 2-weeks stay in MSI.

Then I remembered the original quote I wrote years ago....

"RELEASE THE NEGATIVITY AND EMBRACE THE POSSIBILITY OF A NEW TOMORROW"

First Day at MSI-ECS

Today was my first day at MSI-ECS, I was very and I mean VERY nervous at the same time excited. Its like a newly acquired fish from your favorite pet store and you place him in a new aquarium, do you notice the fish's behavoir? I'm sure you do..... I feel like I was a fish being placed in a new aquarium literally hahaahahahahahaha.

Arrived at the office at around 8:15am, waited for Ms. Kel, the recruitment specialist, to give us our introduction orientation. There were 4 of us. One is a product support specialist, another is a marketing assistant/secretary and retail business group officer. Ms. Kel also routed us at the company and introduced us to the employees and the managers. The orientation lasted until 12nn. We had lunch and afterwards we were endorsed to our respective designation and work areas.

I am under Ms. Princess Chua, a welcoming, kind and hospitable manager for the consumer division and at the same time she is the Vice President of the organization. She is an ICAN and a La Sallian so more or less we grew up in the same community because I'm a Xaverian and a Benildean. get the connection? I HOPE hahahahahahaha.

My work area has its own telephone. I have a direct line hahahaha! I have my own local number as well. I am also entitled to a cellphone and a sim which will be provided by the company. I have my own computer with an internet connection and logging on yahoo messenger is legal, YESSS!!! also an email address as well jlim@msi-ecs.com.ph =)

I also met my collegues, Product Managers of other brands of MSI-ECS. They are very supportive, warm, welcoming and accomodating. Thank you so much guys for the help and for more help that I will be asking tomorrow and in the future hahahahahaha.

My main objective is to be a mini-ceo of the brand Targus. I am responsible for its inventory, pricing, sales, promotions and etc. I have to satisfy my superior, the president and the vendor of Targus who happens to be a Malaysian Indian and is based in Singapore. I heard they will come over next week, so I will be pretty swamped. The job description and the job responsibility is challenging but I know I will really learn a lot and grow more.

Wish me luck guys.... I need all your prayers and support!!!! I hope I can contribute and be able to share my abilities and capabilities with MSI-ECS.

New Job at MSI-ECS

After 4 months of being a professional bum, tomorrow, April 08, 2008, I will be working again for MSI-ECS as one of its Product Officers. I was granted employment at this company last March 27, 2008. Located at # 3 Economia St., Libis, Quezon City. My work starts at 8:30am and ends at 6:30pm Mondays to Fridays only, whooopeee!

Looking for a job here in Manila is hard.. and I mean HARDDD. Going to interviews again and again and waiting for their feedback is really nerve-wrecking. The competition is very tough plus the processing of your application takes an awful long time for almost all companies. I would like to commend MSI-ECS for its speedy processing. Thank you also for giving me a chance to be part of this company.

For starters, I will be a Product Officer under the Sales & Marketing - Consumer Goods Division and I will be handling Targus, a leading manufacturer of laptop bags. It was given to me primarily because of my past experience which was heavily concentrated on consumer goods. Hopefully, when I learned the ropes and gained enough experience, become a product manager of an IT component and/or peripheral. That is my aim in this company and maybe be a division manager if I'm lucky... pray for me! hahahaha

Again, thank you MSI-ECS!
