A Heartfelt Connection: My Former Korean Boss Reaches Out

    Hello Hiveians!.
    I wish all is well upon reading my post.

    Story time...

    Life often takes us by surprise in the most unexpected ways, and this week I had a wonderful experience. After a while, I received a message from my previous Korean boss, with whom I had worked for six years. His message was as more than simply a friendly greeting; it was also a reminder of the relationship and trust that we created while working together.


    Sweet morning message

    In his message, he said that he needs a secretary and asked me to come back to work for him. He spoke with sincerity, and I could sense how much he appreciated the previous work we had done together. Knowing that he still regarded me as trustworthy and qualified after all these years was humbling. His care and kindness were what really moved me. He sent me GCash money to help me celebrate the upcoming New Year according to his message. I was impressed by the generosity and the concern that went into it, not simply by the quantity.
    Sharing you guys some of the pictures taken last 2018. This was the first biggest project that we built.


    It's approximately around 72 rooms with a very large pool.


    It's a 2 storey building with rooftop with nice view.

    The picture below shows the progress of the said project. It was around 2020 until we slowly stopped the construction due to Covid 19.


    It feel surreal after how many years we finally see the outcome of our hardwork.

    2020 progress

    It had been an amazing 5 years working with him. In addition to being my boss, he was also an educator who gave me valuable guidance on respect, professionalism, and discipline. Together, we had overcome challenges, enjoyed victories, and developed a trusting professional connection.


    This photo reminds me while doing exit clearance from pier. Since our materials arrived already from Cebu.


    These are the cargoes I bought from Cebu with our driver. We have private elf truck which we used if incase we urgently need the materials. I need to book a ticket and travel 2 am going to Cebu port and be back at 5pm in Bohol. Real quick!😀

    Pier 1 in Cebu and we usually take the lite ferry boat so we can load our elf truck. This was really a tiring job but way much better than being jobless and broke.

    Cebu Home builders where we usually purchased most of our tiles.

    His words reminded me of those times and made me consider how lucky I was to have worked with someone who regarded me as a person in addition to my achievements. His gesture served as a reminder to me of the value of maintaining positive relationships and making a good impression wherever you go, even though I haven't chosen whether to accept his offer yet. These relationships are what give life meaning and purpose.
    I'm grateful for this chance to grow and for people like my previous employer who reminds me that genuine connections move beyond a work status as I begin the new year. Let's treasure such connections and take advantage of all the chances life presents.
    I appreciate you joining me on this journey and taking the time to read my parting post. I appreciate the opportunity to share these events with you, and your support means the world to me. Every image in this post is mine, preserving the memories I cherish. Cheers to fresh starts and the hope that we will meet paths once more.
    Continue to be inspired and be careful! Have an wonderful New Year to one and all!🍻🎆🎉
