It was my lifelong dream to be with my First Love for as long as I live.
And that dream became a reality.
After graduating from BS in Statistics, I was immediately employed as Market Analyst at the Soft Drinks Division of SMC (San Miguel Corp) and was assigned in Makati Sales Office. I thought surreal dreams could only come true in Fairy Tales but there I was, working in a company where I could be with my First Love any time of the day, for as long as I want. I was beyond ecstatic!
The Manager’s Office had an allocation of 1 case of Coke 8 oz a day. But my Boss and his secretary could no longer drink Coke because of their diabetes restrictions. And we seldom had visitors to entertain. Can you imagine how I consumed 24 bottles of Coke a day? Easy. I drank 2 bottles of ice-cold Coke every hour while working from 7 AM to 7 PM.
And I wasn’t contented with just drinking Coke inside the office. When I leave my desk, I bring with me a thermos filled with Coke and enjoy drinking it while watching my favorite horror movie in the Cinema or at home.
Looking back, I now realize that I was then consuming 1 truck load of Coke per year. Thank God my blood sugar did not rise to the ceiling!
