Fieldwork to Quezon Province

Last week I set sail to Lucena to implement a 3 days sampling on key accounts under our distributor at the said area. We depart the office at around 9am so we still have time to prepare for tomorrows activity. We took SLEX then Star toll way to avoid traffic in Turbina.

As usual routine, we stop over friendly noodle house at Lopez, Quezon. This not so clean noodle house was the most popular eatery in this side of town. It has 4 huge soup container that was continuously boiled that melts the meat and dissolve to the water making it a bit slimy and tasty as well. You savor it with young chili and kalamansi depending on your taste. You can indulge it with rice, puto, buns or noodles it self. And by the way, you can as for extra soup for free. This noodle house was introduce by Sir Gwapo when I work with him la year. From then, I make sure that every time I go to south I pay a visit in this friendly noodle house.

Then again we hit the road and reach out destination at around 3pm. Took a little rest and head to Pagbilao for a visit to Ms. Jho. Chat a little, get sampling materials and head back home where we stay every time I do field work at Lucena. At the evening, i meet with Sir L and Sir Gwapo. We go to Dalahican Port to buy fresh fish as our dinner and pulutan as well. I took as half hour to get what we want because Sir Gwapo is so meticulous in choosing.

We feast with a huge grilled tambakol (thanks to my companion J) and prepare for tons of booze. We were in the middle of our sess

ion when Mr. P came (friend of Sir Gwapo, a salesman of Toyo Sardines) and join us. I was so drunk I don’t wanna listen to them… so I went inside the house, lay down at the couch and watch baker prince…ü (so gay!!!)

My morning starts early because I need to talk to the store personnel just in case their problem, we still make it in time to start our sampling. The store was not crowded because its midweek but still there was customers that pays visit to the store. After awhile, me and j head to the town proper to check stores on product availability. Then head back to sampling for pull out. I was hoping that I could go back to Kamay ni Hesus that day but theirs no time because I have to finish reports for my fieldwork.

The next day, we leave the house at around 6am because we have to travel another hour to reach the site where we have to promote. It was raining and the road is wet but I like it coz were doing 80kmh. (adrenaline rush!!!) When we reach the site, as usual we prepare the booth, start sampling and leave.

I love traveling, that’s one reason why I came back to my old work as trade marketing assistant because it gives me the privilege to around the Philippines for free. Next time ill make sure that ill be able to visit Kamay ni Hesus and say my thanks.

Looking forward for my next adventure and I think it will be in Bicol region.
