a day at ortigas, pasig

last tuesday, our professor in Fin.8 assigned us to find a security broker or dealer for an interview. he also gave us a hint where to find them and said that there are numerous brokers and dealers at the Philippine Stock Exchange. so we [jeremiah,mitch,pher and myself] scheduled this day to visit the Philippine Stock Exchange office a Ortigas, Pasig to schedule an appointment for an interview with any broker/dealer we'll meet. we were all first-timers to be there so i couldn't help mysef to take a picture of the building. so this is how the PSE Building looks like:

when we got there, we spoke to a ladyguard inside and she told us that we supposed to contact the PSE through call for an appointment first before we went there. so we were forced to look for a payphone. we started searching along the Makati-like streets there. i was amazed because i never thought that was how ortigas looked like, with so much buildings and all. so after what seemed like 30minutes of searching, we found a park there which looks like this:

well, actually it looks more beautiful than what it seems like in the picture. so we decided to take some rest there for what seemed like 15minutes after i realized that we were wasting time so i asked my companions that we continue THE SEARCH FOR THE MISSING PAYPHONE and they stingily agreed. out of exhaustion [and hunger] me and mitch managed to entertain ourselves by singing some novelty songs with matching laughter because we were changing the lyrics into funny lines only laughable by the both of us [in other words, we sounded corny in the ears of the others]. we continued walking along the sidewalk until at long last, we managed to find ourselves a payphone, naturally from a PLDT Office. here's us looking really happy [but hungry still] after having found a way to call the PSE Office:




after that, Jeremiah managed to speak with someone at the PSE Office. [She] instructed us to log on to their website: www.pse.com.ph to find some contact persons there. so we did as we were told and managed to find an internet cafe in one of the buildings there, a few blocks from the PLDT office. after finding some contacts, we decided to eat because it was already passed 12nn [finally!!] and because our tummies were are already rumbling. we found a McDonald's branch near that sight and filled our hungry tummies there. after eating, we decided to tambay and discussed some issues regarding school and some normal topics discussed by teens. after nung nagsawa na mga pwet namin sa pagupo, we decided to visit The Podium. being my first time there, i was somewhat shocked about what i've found!!






hehe. owner na pala ko ng isang fashion aparrell store ng di ko nalalaman. at sa The Podium pa. hehehe.



wala nmn kami masyadong ginawa dito. we just took some pictures of ourselves then tumambay sa national bookstore.

after that we visited Shangrila Plaza. it was my second visit to that place but it seemed my first dahil i only got to libot the entire mall for the first time. its a mall with long escalators....

after that we went home. and now i have to wash my uniforms!! bye! :)

PSE has this East & West Tower, parang yung WTC may North & South. I have been inside those towers so many times but haven't been to the actual stock exchange hall/room yet. weird no? hehe
