Today is my first day of my virtual internship. Earlier, at 10:00 AM, we had an orientation that
lasted for about 2 hours. Our TL, Ms. Allysa Jan Buen, explained the rules and regulations, do’s
and don’ts of our virtual internship. She also explained our secondary task, which is the fifi-
gallery, wherein we have to take unbranded objects and upload them to their designated g-drive
folders. And finally, she explained our main task, where we have to upload and categorize the
accurate data of the company’s business partner’s products into their E-commerce Website. But
since this is our first day, we were instructed to practice first, and tomorrow will be our official
start.
Today is the second day of my Ollopa virtual internship. To cut a long tale short, the two primary
jobs for today's event went off without a hitch, except for our main task. Aside from the
company’s web down server, I realized that my senior co-interns forgot to mention that we had
to manually collect product information from the company's business partners on their specific
internet presence. So I was surprised that they didn't explain it for our main task, and I had to
call our team leader multiple times as a result. Fortunately, she is a pleasant person. As time
goes on, I'm gradually becoming accustomed to this duty, and I'm also noticing that I need to
hone my research skills because we must accurately post the descriptions of every item to their
website.
Week 2
It's Monday, and we have to enter all of their business partners' product information into their e-
commerce website as usual. So I've got a new vendor, and she simply astounds me since she
sells a lot of things, which means that meeting my quota isn't difficult. Last Friday, I was unable
to achieve my quota since the vendor to whom I was allocated had limited supplies. Additionally,
their server did not crash today, which I hope will be the case every day.
Today is Tuesday, and it's been three hours since my shift, but here I am, writing about my day.
since their server is down from the minute I time-in and I can't time-out because I have to
complete my assignment or else the hours I rendered will not be credited to me. I hope they will
fix these because it’s kinda frustrating and Inefficient not just for me but also for everyone.
Today is Wednesday, and the server is still down; I need to do this assignment since,
unfortunately, today is my final day on the Uploads team; I've discovered that this job is all
about data entry, so what's the big deal about data entry? Unfortunately, our Professor does not
allow data entry, therefore I decided to move to the other team that is also aligned with our
course. Anyway, back to my first topic, I need to finish this task in order to credit the hours that I
rendered for the last days that I worked here in Upload teams, and the good news is that I don't
need to go back to 0 hours because the time that I rendered here in Upload teams will be
I've made the decision to move to creative teams today. However, apart from orienting me on
their daily tasks, no assignment was assigned to me today. So, according to my newest team
leader, the major duty here that we will be doing for the duration of our internship here in creativ
e teams is to create stickers, which requires us to be as creative as possible, as well as make th
e appearance appealing and not like an eyesore. That's only for today; tomorrow will be my first
day again. And also the 1 hour that I render for today’s orientation will be credited to me.
Today is my official first day here in the Creative Teams. We also had a team meeting where we
exchanged and shared our ideas on how to effectively design stickers and everything went
smoothly. So our TL instructed us to use an online tool that is usually used by the graphic
designers, and the platform that we will be using is very easy and user-friendly. It is also easy
for the first-timers just like me. So here we go with the main task. So my Category is Music and
as we all know music is a very broad topic and has a lot of genre so I decided to create a theme
that is based on the different genres. At first I thought it was very easy since I just need to drag
and drop some elements that will be matching the theme that I have to design but no, it’s very
difficult because I reach some point where I ran out of the idea on how to express this and that,
through stickers. And what is hard about that is having a theme and self-idea on how to convey
a message through designs that are based on your idea without copying the others.
Week 3
Today was second day of working with the Creative teams, when we went to a team meeting, a
lot of things changed in our job. Our TL instructed us to create ten sets of stickers, each
requiring a unique design with a 1080 × 1080 pixel dimension. We also increased the size of
each sticker from 5 stickers to 1 sticker each set, allowing each stickers to cover the full page.
So in total we have to accomplish a 50 stickers today. We were also told to mix and match each
every element's colors, which is difficult for me because I have no experience with color mixing,
Today is a dull day. It's the same instruction and category as yesterday. Aside from the fact that
I completed my assignment ahead of schedule. Maybe it's because I'm enjoying myself and
gradually acclimating to the software that was advised for us to use. But, as you know, I'm
already out of ideas, so I'm hoping my category will change. I want my work to be as high-
quality as possible, thus I don't want my idea to become repetitive just because of the restricted
category.
Today is Wednesday, and I accomplished my main task pretty early, despite the fact that my
category for making stickers is still music, and as you know, music is indeed a very broad field,
so I decided to design stickers of various genres. I also asked my TL if I was the one who would
transfer my data from my prior Daily Time and Motion to my current DTM, and she responded,
Today is Thursday, once I started my shift at 9:00AM I already started creating a stickers since
our TL announce that we have to lay-off a ten sets of stickers and we should finish our task
before 4:30 PM. There’s nothing much happenings today, it was just same as yesterday.
unfortunately, according to her, there was no notice from her OIC if she could let us change our
category. But she advised me and my colleagues through message on our GC in Skype, that if
we had already run out of ideas, we could re-use our old stickers, but we would have to change

starting tomorrow. My assigned categories are Baby and Baptismal, which means I have to
create a sticker that is related to both. I hope this category will bring out the best in me. I am
Today is Wednesday. Although my category has broad content, I must say that designing
stickers related to these is quite hard. But I should take this as a challenge and should apply this
to my whole life. Not everything is easy, but I'm sure in the end, it will all be worth it.
Today is Thursday, and everything went smoothly. I also finish all of my tasks very early. Aside
from that, there are no other announcements or anything happening today. I guess I will end the
post here.

Skype and read all the announcement made by our TL, so far there were no additional

Today is Tuesday. We had our orientation earlier. Our orientation was filled with the farewell
meeting with our incumbent TL, which is Ms. Arlene Vidad, and she tackled her experiences
and her learnings with handling us the creative teams. She also introduced our newest TL, Ma.
Quiency Grumal. She expressed her concerns about our daily tasks and she hoped for our
cooperation in order to make our team harmonize. She also reminded us to don’t hesitate to DM
her about our concerns, and that’s how our orientation went down. And as for my daily tasks, I
because there are some conflicts about the names of the objects that I uploaded. So yesterday I
realized that the purpose of uploading random photos on Fifi-gallery is for the photo editing
teams. The photos that were uploaded daily from the different teams are the photos that they
are working on, which makes sense. Aside from that, there are no major happenings for today.
Day 21: 07 April 2022
Today is Thursday, earlier I’m already running out some of ideas however I patch things up
which was resulted successfully and I finished my task at earlier than I expected. Before I

We had our orientation earlier with our newest TL Ms. Ma. Quiency Grumal she discussed
about her concerns in our fifi-gallery she also ask why some of us has no remarks or status
about our fifi-gallery tracker she also reminded us to do not forget to DM her about our concerns
on our fifi-gallery tracker. She also stated that if there are concerns about our assigned
categories don’t forget to inform her so she could patch up our concerns. So right after our
orientation I immediately DM her about my concerns on my tracker, I told her that on March 22,
there are remarks that stated OK on my tracker However on the Status tracker there are no
Check on it. On March 30, I also express my concern about it that there are no remarks and
Status on both of them. Hopefully it will fix because if not it will reflect on my reputation on my
OJT.
Week 6
Today is Holy Tuesday. We were informed last Friday that we would have skeletal staffing on
Monday-Wednesday, but only two people, including the volunteer and the TL. I volunteered in
order to make up for the hours that I’ve lost since last March 17. I was not able to complete the
eight hours since I moved into Creative Teams and I only completed one hour of work on the
same day. Before I started to create stickers, I had a quick orientation with our TL about the
protocols of our skeletal staffing. I was told to report the progress of my work on our respective
GCs on our Skype in order to notify the in-charge person about my work progress. I was also
told by her to not forget to DM-ed her once I was done with my tasks so she could make a
report about it. She also asked me a favor and asked if I could get my work done earlier than
the usual time deadline, which was not a problem for me.
Week 7
Today is Tuesday. Earlier, we had a team meeting where our TL expressed her concerns about
my other co-interns that are still not following the proper format in our fifi-gallery Tracker. Aside
from that, she also informed us that our category would be changed. So the category that was
assigned to me is "Travel," which is pretty good for me since I have a lot of ideas for creating
stickers for this category. Luckily, I finished my task ahead of time, and I hope that will be the

announcements or brief team meetings were made. I also timeout at exactly 6:00 PM
Today is Tuesday, as I started my day of Internship, to be honest at first, I was at a loss for
ideas, but after I broadened my horizons and considered alternative possibilities, I quickly
patched everything up. And tried to find an element that will matches the pictures in my head.

according to our TL, to be fair to others, she won’t let the past volunteers back in, including me,
because I already volunteered last Holy Tuesday. We also had a team meeting, which lasted for
about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Our TL expressed her concerns about my other co-interns about
their daily time and motion and remaining hour’s tracker. Some of my co-interns raised their
concerns about their issues on their DTM. Our TL also brought up our concerns on her OIC
about our categories, if she will let us change our category every week. After that meeting, I
reviewed all of my trackers since there’s an issue of modifying other DTM even if it’s not their
own. Luckily, there were no problems with my trackers’ also finished my task on time.
Today is Thursday, and as usual, I get in at 9:00 AM. I went back to read on our official GC on
Skype if there was any other announcement aside from the usual one, but unfortunately there
was not. As usual, my quota for making stickers is 50 pieces, which is divided into 10 sets.

daily reminders, our TL hasn't made any further announcements. I was almost unable to

.Today is Tuesday, and yesterday was an election, which was declared a non-working holiday,
so there was no practicum. But the good news is that my travel category has now been replaced
by movies and film. To be honest, I'm not the type of person who watches films because I prefer
to watch K-dramas and listen to music, so my first attempt was a flop, but at least I tried. I also
completed my daily task of uploading two photos to fifigallery. I also keep my fifi-gallery Tracker
up to date. Later on, I had a flash of inspiration, and I was able to patch up for today's main
task, which is to design a sticker. I also back read on our GC, but our TL made no additional
Wednesday has arrived. We had a team meeting with our TL, Ms. Ma, earlier. Quincy Grumal
and Ms. Katlyn, our OIC, had a one-hour conversation. Her reminders about our daily tasks and
her concerns about some of our coworkers were sprinkled throughout the meeting. She also
mentioned that she is now looking for a replacement because her internship is coming to an end
soon. Ms. Katlyn, our OIC, was also invited in case we had any concerns or questions about our
practicum. I was given the opportunity to ask a question about some items that are required for
my narrative report, such as the establishment's history and the training area. She claims to
have a copy and will deliver it to our TL. So, after the meeting, I immediately messaged our TL
to express my concern, and she responded that it had already been noted.
Thursday has arrived. I started my task as soon as I arrived at 9:00 a.m. because it was the
same as yesterday. Fortunately, I'm getting an idea for how to expand my imagination by
making stickers about my category, movies and films, so I finished my main task early.
However, when it comes to my daily task of fifigallery, I'm already out of ideas for what kind of
Today is Friday. I just continue what I did like yesterday. I open my Skype and backroad on our
respective GC, review my trackers in case there are some conflicts that need to be modified,
create 10 sets of stickers, upload 2 photos on fifi-gallery, and double check my outputs in case
there are some mistakes aside from that. I timed out at exactly 6:00 PM.
Week 11
Today is Monday. We had a team meeting earlier with our TL, Ms. Ma. Quiency Grumal, which
lasted for about an hour. She raised her concern about her replacement since there were no
one available to be her successor since almost of us had different reasons. When she asked me
during our meeting, I responded that unfortunately I had no time, which is very true since I had a
packed schedule since I’m still doing my thesis plus I still have eight subjects which were all
laboratory. I already did my daily task and main task after the meeting.
Today is Tuesday. Once I started my shift at 9:00 AM, I did a back read on our GC since there
were some announcements yesterday evening that I had failed to read since my internet had
already expired. Fortunately, there are no additional announcements from our TL. As usual, it
was just the same as yesterday. My category is still "Movies and Film". To be honest, as time
goes by, I’m already running out of ideas for this category. I already raised my concern about
this yesterday, but unfortunately, according to my TL, she tried to raise this with our OIC if she
could let us change our category every week since every one of us has the same dilemmas.
Today is Wednesday. I started my shift at 9:00 AM. I immediately started to create a sticker that
consists of 10 sets. Once I got finished, I downloaded my created stickers with a transparent
background and converted them into PNG. Once, I downloaded all the files that I needed. I will
upload it on my respective G-drive and create a separate folder named today's date. Once I
finished creating a folder, I uploaded all the stickers to their respective folder and got the link to
that folder. I immediately open my work tracker and update my respective tracker and paste the
link of my work. Later, I photograph two unbranded objects and upload them on their respective
G-drives, creating a separate folder named the date today, and lastly, I get all the links of all
those photos and update my fifigallery tracker. When I finish all my work, I immediately update
Today is Thursday, and it was just the same process as yesterday. Once I finish my daily task,
which is the fifigallery, and my main task, which is the 10 sets of stickers, I immediately review
and submit those required files, and I already update my TL about my finished task, and after a
Friday marks the end of the long week. I started my shift by going back through our separate
GCs and reading our TL's daily announcement. As per usual, we must make ten sets of stickers
in the same category as yesterday, which was "Movie & Film." Despite the fact that I'm having a
hard time selecting an element that matches what I'm picturing in my head, I was able to finish it
Today is Monday. As I started my shift at 9:00 in the morning, I immediately back read on our
official GC because there were messages that I missed because I was very busy last week. So I
found out that my category has now changed to Mother's Day, and there's also an
announcement made by our newest team leader Ms. Aliza Alviar, that we will have a team
meeting. Though it did not took a long time, it was just between 15-20 minutes. She reminded
us about our daily tasks and, of course, her concerns about our work. She also reminded us that
if we have concerns, just DM her through Skype. My main task and daily tasks were done
smoothly. There were no interruptions and I was done ahead of time. I timed out at exactly 6:00
PM.
it in case there were important announcements and messages that I missed. As the time went
by, I finished my task smoothly and I timed out at exactly 6:00 PM.
It's Wednesday. My shift started at 9:00 a.m. I started making a sticker set of ten right away.
stickers and converted them to PNG. I finished downloading all of the files I required. I'll save it
to my G-drive and make a new folder called "today's date." After that, I'll upload all of the
stickers to their appropriate folders and get the link to that folder. I open my work tracker right
away and update my particular tracker, as well as paste the URL to my work. Later, I
photograph two unbranded products and upload them to their respective G-drives, naming the
date folder.
Today is Thursday. My routine today was just the same as yesterday. I finished all my tasks and
passed those on their individual trackers. After that, I updated my TL on our official GC and after
It's Friday now. As soon as I started my shift, I updated my daily time and motion tracker
because our TL monitors it and uses it as a basis for our work. She also indicated that if we do
not update our tracker, even if we finish our task, she will not count our rendering hours for
today. Fortunately, I completed all of my responsibilities ahead of schedule and left at 6:00 p.m.
Week 13
Today is Monday. As soon as I started my shift, I reviewed our official GC in Skype. After that, I
updated my daily time and motion tracker. After that, I attended our team meeting that lasted for
about an hour. After that, I started recycling the stickers that I already created last week. Since
I’m already running out of ideas, I will just mix and match the colors, since according to our OIC,
we can do that once we are totally running out of ideas. After that, I converted the stickers into
PNG, but before that, I double checked them one by one just to make sure that all of them have
a transparent background. After that, I sorted them. Since the total of my created stickers is fifty
pieces, I will divide them into ten folders. After several tasks, I finished them all on time.
same routine. Our supervisor had made no announcement. After that, I left at precisely 6:00
PM.
Today is Wednesday, so I decided to mix and match the colors of my other stickers that are still
relevant to my category, which is Mother's Day. One thing I learnt through the mix and match is
that, while I generally think that mix and match is a simple activity, it turned out to be much more
difficult than I anticipated. Because in some cases, if we fail to properly mix the colors, our
designs would be rejected so, to the greatest extent feasible, I'll make it more appealing while
remaining unsightly.
Today is Thursday. Before my out, our incumbent TL had announced that we were going to
meet at 5:30 PM. The meeting was filled with our farewell to Ms. Aliza Alviar and an introduction
to our newest elected TL, Mr. Jiniel Batara, but unfortunately, Mr. Batara failed to make it to our
meeting due to his busy schedule. After that, we bid our goodbyes.
Today is Friday, everything went smoothly for today, I’ve never encounter any errors or problem
regarding to my tasks, fortunately I finished all my task ahead of time and I time out at exactly
6:00 PM.
Week 14
Monday has arrived. We had a meeting with Mr. Jiniel Batara, our newest team leader. The
meeting lasted approximately one hour. He talked about his rules and regulations, as well as his
concerns. He also introduced his four assistant TLs, as most of us are really busy. Ms. Aliza
Alviar, our previous TL, divided the task into four people to make it easier and more
manageable for our new TL. Every assistant TL clarified their tasks and reminded us that we
Today is Wednesday, and as I started my shift I timed in on our attendance and updated my
daily time and motion tracker. After that, I reviewed our official GC because it is very important
because there are some surprise announcements that are sometimes made and if I fail to catch
up it will reflect on me as an intern, which is the very worst scenario. To make a long story short,
Thursday is the day. Everything was the same as it had been the day before, and there were no
new announcements from our Supervisor, OIC, or TL for today. I completed all of my
Today is Friday. As I timed in at 9:00 AM, I immediately updated my DTM and back read on our
official GC. After that, I started designing stickers and took a fifteen minute coffee break. After
that, I continued to finish my main task, which is the creation of stickers. After finishing my
secondary task, which is capturing unbranded photos from fifi-gallery, I immediately passed
them on their respective trackers and updated my TL on our GC on Skype. After finishing all of
Week 15
Today is Tuesday. According to our OIC, Ms. Katlyn, there was no practicum yesterday. I'm not
sure why, but according to her unexpected statement on our GC on Friday night, we will be
taking a one-day break from practicum. Anyway, before I left, we had a team meeting at 5:30
PM with our TL and four assistant team leaders. Because he and four of his assistants were
reaching the end of their internships, the meeting was filled with voting for the new TL. We said
Today is Wednesday. My tasks were just the same as yesterday, and I finished them all ahead
of time. So before I ended my shift, I reached out my concerns to our TL because tomorrow
would be my last day of internship and he took my basic information such as full name, course,
hours requirement, the date of start of my internship, and the expected date of my endo for my
certificate of completion. I also reminded him about my performance evaluation. After that, I
Today is Thursday, and finally, today is my last day of internship. After finishing all of my tasks, I
reached out to our TL, Mr. Jiniel Batara, and reminded him about my certificate of completion
and evaluation form. After that, I also contacted his assistant TL, Mr. John Dagala, who is
responsible for the signing of the daily attendance and accomplishment form. I asked him if he
could sign my daily attendance and accomplishment forms on the same day of my departure,
and luckily he said yes. So, after a long process, I timeout at exactly 3:00 PM.
