Surprises of 2012 - A (Supposedly) Year-Ender Post

It is the first Saturday Sunday of the year - and I can still greet everyone a Happy New Year! (yes?) Holiday break was a little busy for me - but it was busier when I got back to the office - especially that I have to shift my body clock. I am glad that I am opening blogger again, and feeling the need to write.

I am not really planning of writing a 2012 year-end review - as I thought it would be too much work to dig through pictures, notes and brain cells for the highlights of my year. But I read some of my blogger friends' year end entries, and I thought it would be nice to have a blog entry too so I have something to look at aside from my Facebook's timeline (which is a mess too). Plus, you have become a part of me too - so let me share with you the highlights of my year.

Highlight Number 1: My IBM Corporate Service Corp Assignment

with representatives from USA, India, Mexico, Brazil

Austria, Mayor of Makassar, Indonesia and IBM Indonesia Country Manager

Even before the year 2012 started, I know this is one of the biggest highlights of my year. I always tell my friends that this is one story of my life that I will never get tired of sharing. Imagine staying in another country for a month with people from different parts of the globe who you only know by name and their voices. Do I sound like I were part of the Ms. Universe Pageant? Close to that, (and yes, I wore swimwear!). I passed the 2011 IBM Corporate Service Corp Program. It is a very competitive leadership program and most who made it to the list are the ones who are already in managerial and executive positions. So it was such a great accomplishment to be part of the program. The experience is really priceless - I would not trade with anything.
