Editor’s note:
Everything changes. With the excep-tion of death and taxes, all things in life undergo some kind of change.
Some are mundane, some significant. Some for the better, some for the worse. No matter what we do, no matter where we are, facing change is an inevitable.
And so, as we move from the old Pilipi-nas International Marketing Services Inc. (PIMS) we knew and loved to the new, vi-brant and dynamic Keysquare Inc., we are all once again confronted with change. Of course, we can let ourselves stay in a place where we constantly complain about things not being what they used to be (it is human nature, after all, to resist change), or we can choose to react posi-tively to it. The way we think and the way we react to change will determine how happy we are with where we are, which in turn determines how well we do our jobs.
And so we come to this brand new e-zine. New, in a sense, because of the color, content and format, but also some-thing brought to life again from old tra-ditions. As our company changes and evolves with the times, we hope to devel-op and grow as well. Hope you enjoy our maiden issue of K2.
Cheers,
The Editor

Change is inevitable, and con-sistently happens to everyone and everything. It is something
people should not fear but instead, embrace positively – especially in an organization that’s been running for more than a decade or so.
Pilipinas International Marketing Services (PIMS) is no exception. After moving from the Orient Square build-ing to Hanston Square last March, the management has also decided to change the company name from PIMS to Keysquare, Inc. The change in cor-porate identity marks the certification of the company as a business process outsourcing (BPO) firm and offers ad-ditional services such as space leasing.
On August 6, 2011, the official in-auguration of Keysquare took place which was attended by its top hon-chos, managers, rank-and-file em-ployees, invited guests and well-wish-ers. Buddhist and Catholic rites were performed in the ceremonial blessing wherein three Japanese monks were flown in by the management just for the said event. Ribbon-cutting followed led by Keysquare Managing Directress Aster A. Amoyo.
Other celebrities who were spot-ted on the occasion were multitalented artist Ogie Alcasid and equally popu-lar wife Regine Velasquez, respected broadcaster Mike Enriquez, actress-TV host Gelli de Belen, character actress Rita Avila, veteran actress Vivian Velez, Soul Siren Nina, character actor Car-lo Maceda and wife Darlene, acting coach Beverly Vergel and people from in and out of the showbiz industry.

Coinciding with the inau-guration is the celebration of the fi rst year anniversary of Shinagawa Lasik and Aes-thetic Center (Philippines) which is the sister-company of Keysquare.
The celebration, which happened at the Mezza-nine, Tower 2, The Enterprise Center, Ayala Avenue cor-ner Paseo de Roxas, Makati City, was attended by some celebrities who had already tried the various services of-fered by the beauty center. Spotted were husband and wife Ariel Rivera and Gelli de Belen, actor Aljur Abrenica, screen bombshell Andrea del Rosario, beauty queen Krista
Kleiner and RnB prince Jay-R., Ariel, Krista and Janice de Belen were three celebrities who underwent the Lasik sur-gery.
The management is grate-
ful and happy that after a year in the business, Shinagawa has been making a mark in the market as the leading aesthetic and lasik center in the country.

However we go about it and no mat-ter how much we
avoid it, we will eventually encounter unpleasant situ-ations in the workplace. Ill feelings towards a co-worker or even a boss are normal, but what matters in the long run is how you handle it.
Many opt to hold a grudge and foster negative feelings towards that parti-cular person. No matter how much “in the right,” we feel we are, holding on to such sentiments can not only be detrimental to your mental health, but can also flow into the way you do your job and affect how productive (or in this case, how UN-produc-tive) you are.
Negative emotions like stress, anger and depression can lead to health problems such as high blood pressure, elevated heart rate and in-
creased risk of heart disease. Prolonged feelings of these negative emotions can take a serious toll on your well-being in the long term.
It’s near impossible to maintain a CONSTANTLY positive outlook of life. After all, we all suffer from more bad days than good. In fact, many psychologists believe that expressing negative emotions are healthy. The trick is to not let it become a chronic problem.
It’s always best to set those feelings aside and move on – and here are a few ways to help you do that:
1. vent to a friend about what’s bothering you
“Give yourself time to vent and get it out of your system,” suggests Dr. Mary-ann Troiani, co-author of the book Spontaneous Opti-mism.
It’s important to express those bitter feelings so that you don’t end up nurtur-ing them. The ear of a close friend is extremely helpful as a sympathetic and non-judgemental outlet for your anger.
2. watch the newsSometimes, we let our
problems overwhelm us so much so that we forget how lucky we are. We need to be reminded how small our problems are when we com-pare them to others who are worse off than us.
3. Consider confronting the person who hurt you
Depending on the situ-ation, it may work out or it may backfire. Confronting your boss about his silly deci-sions may end up giving you more trouble than it’s worth.

Holding a grudge?
Move on!
7
Instead, write a letter to the person you are angry at. Let out all your rage on that piece of paper, then throw it away and move on from there.
4. Realize that you are only harming yourself
Holding a grudge is a conscious choice that people make. You can consciously stop the process by constant-ly reminding yourself that you are only causing yourself harm. Dwelling on a grudge stops you in your tracks, de-stroys your momentum, and puts you in a perpetual state of foul-moodiness. Now, is that what you really want for yourself?
5. Try to see things from the other person’s point of view
People may treat you in a
manner that you think is unfair. Instead of fl aring up, consider that their actions could be be-cause they’re going through a hard time themselves. Ask yourself, “How would I feel and what would I do if it were me?”
Putting yourself in other’s shoes help you see things in a different perspective, and can help you realize sometimes, that they do have a point and that you just may be wrong – provided you’re humble enough to realize it.

DO you believe that you may get what you want if first and foremost you think about it entirely? Yes,
we eat food for our stomach, we exer-cise for our body, and we need money to buy what we need. However, to be able to do something, we have to feed our mind with bright ideas-ideas that may probably become our dreams, goals, hopes, inspi-rations, motivations or principles in the future.
There’s no boundary from where we can get our slogans or battlecries for our career. The thing is, we just need to set our minds and work hard. Here are the ten quotes/ verses/lines/ lyrics (in no particular order) that may start a spark in your mind:
1. “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.”– St. Paul (from 1 Corinthians 9:24)
2. “Discipline without integrity is non-sustainable know what you really want and what in figurative terms you really aim to achieve for the year, assess its value and ethics, and hone in your efforts from there. It’s about a keener focus – PLDT and SMART chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan
3. “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them look-ing backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your fu-ture. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This ap-proach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” – for-mer Chief Executive of Pixar Animation Studios and CEO of Apple Inc. Steve
Jobs (Stanford commencement speech, June 2005)
4. “Dumating talaga ako sa point na gusto ko nang mag-give up. Kasi ang daming pressure. Ang dami mong choice na kailangang gawin. Pero kapag nare-recognize ka, ganyan, naa-appreciate ang trabaho mo, sasabihin mo, ‘Ah, kaya ako inilagay dito ng Diyos dahil meron akong kailangang gawin at alam ko naman deep inside, kaya ko ‘to,” pahayag ng comedi-enne.” Winning speech of comedienne Eugene Domingo for the independent film Pisay (2008).
5. “Ito na ang break mo, kagatin mo!” – Robin Padilla ( SkyFlakes commercial)
6. “Great people are just ordinary people with an extraordinary amount of determination. – Unknown
7. “The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work.” - Oprah Winfrey
8. “In the end, the most important thing is to be true to yourself and those you love and work hard. Work like there’s no tomorrow. Train. Strive. Really train and cultivate your talent to the highest degree. Be the best at what you do. Get to know more about your field than anybody alive. Use the tools of your trade, if it’s books or a floor to dance on or a body of water to swim in. Whatever it is, it’s yours. That’s what I’ve always tried to remember. – Mi-chael Jackson
9. “Kung hindi tayo kikilos sino ang kikilos? Kung hindi ngayon, kailan pa?” - Vilma Santos (Sister Stella L.)
10. “I gotta get my s..t together‘Cause I can’t live like this foreverYou know I’ve come too farAnd I don’t want to failI got a new computerAnd a bright future in salesYeah, yeahA bright future in salesYeah, yeah” - Fountains Of Wayne

Since we all work in a Japanese-owned company and interact with people from Japan on a daily basis, it’s important for us to be able to commit to memory some basic Japanese expressions that are commonly used in day to day life.
Basic Japanese:
When you meet or leave someoneHello (or good afternoon).
Pronounce “n” and “ni” separately. It’s like “kon-nichiwa”.
Konnichiwa.
Good morning.
The last vowel “u” is not pronounced ly. It’s like “gozaimas”.Informal: Ohayō.
Ohayō gozaimasu.
Good evening. Used at the beginning of the conversation, not at the end.
Konbanwa.
Good night. Informal: Oyasumi.
Oyasuminasai.
Goodbye.
In general, used when people will not see each other for some time.Informal: Sayonara. (short “o” after y).
Sayōnara.
See you.See you tomorrow.See you next week.dewa: well, now or somata: againWhen you thank or apologize to someone
Dewa mata.Dewa mata ashita.Dewa mata raishū.
Thank you.Thank you very much.Thank you. (past)Thanks.The last vowel "u" is not pronounced ly. gozaimas(u).Dōmo arigatō gozaimasu.: To emphasize.Arigatō gozaimashita.: To thank for something in the past.Dōmo.: To thank for a small favor.Informal: Arigatō.
Arigatō gozaimasu.Dōmo arigatō gozaimasu.Arigatō gozaimashita.Dōmo.
You're welcome. Dōitashimashite.
Don't mention it.Iie. (literally means "No.") also can be used with the rising accent if it's not a big deal.

Expressions in Daily Life

WE think that life is short but isn’t it hard spending all the time you have in a year or
even in a week? There are hours that seem very long because you are stressed and depressed for some reasons. There are also days you feel tedious because you’re doing the same thing again and again. How much is too much to han-dle?
It’s a good thing that “we have our faith and our principles and these make us who we are” (thanks Ms. Sham-cey Supsup for that winning line!). We never think of jumping from the rooftop out of deep sadness. By the way, suicide is not the very graceful exit. Imagine your healthy glowing skin courtesy of Shinagawa or Celesty will be wasted
if you die with horrible face. Kidding aside, no matter how problematic you are because of some aspects of your life it is not enough reason to quit. It is easy to be angry and sad if you choose that kind of attitude, compared to be-ing happy. Striving for happiness is also an option and it can be a lifestyle too. However, like many things in life, that is easier said than done.
Work is only a part of you, same as your relationship or family. They might be everything for you but are you sure there isn’t anything else? You might be surprised to know that there are lots of things (besides the usual, of course) that can take you away from the dull and dishearten routine of your everyday life; thing that can help you be inspired
again, given you handle it properly along with your other priorities.
Having a hobby is a diversion that relaxes you and makes you a well-rounded person. It is different from ad-diction, which enslaves you and sets you on a path to self-destruction. If you are doing what you like to do, it also benefits other areas of your life. Like in sports, you have human interaction as well as exercise. Through hobbies you can discover your potentials and learn something new that will probably help you someday. Isn’t it great to know the other sides of a person and know his/her secrets of happiness?
Sample? Here are some of the hardworking people of KeySquare Inc. and their interests:

What are your hobbies? Painting/ Comic art and toy and movie collectingWhen and Why did you start to like it? Painting and Comic art - love it, since I was a kid (comic art). Painting is just new.

I have a total of 180 cars for hotwheels alone (if i can remember it right) plus other toy cars. Movie (VCD) collecting - Movie tickets are very expensive (PHP 1000) for the 3 of us). I can buy 3 movies on VCD.How does it help you? I can watch the VCDs for it for a number of times. Very cost-effective. Lov-ing the same things, creates a solid bond between all of us.

What is your hobby? traveling and scrapbooking
When and why did you start to like it? - When I was a kid, I’ dreamt of traveling to places I’ve only seen in movies and postcards. From then, I said “mararating ko rin ito” and in God’s time, narating ko nga ang mga lugar na iyon. Then one day, while I was looking at the photos I had in Baguio, bigla ko na lang naisip na gumawa ako ng scrapbook. Na- realize ko kasi na mas magiging bongga ang memo-ries sa bawat picture kung may design. That’s the time I started to divert myself into something new so mula noon tuwing rest day ko scrapbook ang libangan ko.How does it help you? Nakakawala ng stress ang pagta-travel lalo na kung bagong lugar sa paningin mo ang pupuntahan mo. Magastos pero sigurado namang enjoy ka at may peace of mind. Malaking tulong din sa akin ang scrap-booking dahil bukod sa pangtanggal stress ito sa work, nagiging mas makulay pa ang memories ng pic-tures na ginagawa ko.
Life is short and at the end of the day our fate may be the sum of all of our decisions. Live life to the fullest and do what makes you happy apart from working of course.

There are times when you want to do something but are
bound to do another. Arnold, fresh from college, wanted to find a job that is in line with his degree in Informa-tion Technology but as fate would have it, he became a sales specialist at Key-Square at the tender age of 18.
Young and vibrant, A r - nold embraced his first
job with lot of hope and positivism. At 18, one would probably think that he would be easily intimi-dated by older and more senior co-workers but Ar-nold has set his mind to maximize what he can to achieve.
Working at KeySquare for more than two years, Arnold has become one of the company’s quota busters. In fact, in the month of July, Arnold’s sales amounted to 196% - which is just four percent short of doubling his tar-get sales.
When asked what his formula is in coming up with big numbers, Ar-nold’s answer isn’t as complex as answering a mathematical equa-tion – it is persistence and love for family.
“There’s this line from the Nescafe commercial that says, ‘Para kanino ka bumabangon?’ and my family is my inspiration to really strive harder because I want to secure a good future for them. Also, being in the world of sales, persistence is a must and being sensitive is a big no-no.
“I always keep in mind that this is a two-way process be-cause you help the client just as they help you. Selling – no matter how big or small the amount is – should be done the right way,” says Arnold who hails from Rizal, Laguna.
Bagging the numbersBy Len Armea
EvERY morning, 10:30am to be exact, Key-Square employees come together to what we call as “Morning Gathering” in which we hear
one number after the other being read out loud – numbers that speak whether we have good sales or not. Credit goes to KeySquare’s sales agents whose hard-work and drive are reflected in their impressive sales figures.
Selling, just like any other job, requires cer-tain skills in order to convince clients to buy the products or services with no questions asked. In a dog-eat-dog world where competition is stiff, every sales agent must have his or her own techniques and the right attitude to get the nod of their pro-spective clients.
It is probably in finding the right combination of skill and attitude where we hear tales of success in the world of sales. This can also be the same reason why there are names that become so familiar during the morning gathering because their names are tanta-mount to good sales.
Let’s g e t to know t h r e e of these sales a g e n t s who consistently hit their quota and are considered gems in the company.

he considers his stint in Japan as his biggest achievement because he was able to prove that he can handle such big challenge and responsibility and that he was able to do what was expected of him.
“there is a big difference working at Keysquare and in Japan (iPs) so i was under a lot of pressure. When i
came back after my stint, i was happy because i was able to prove why i de-serve to be there.”
if there’s anything he wants to impart to his fellow telemarketers, it is to believe in what they can do and offer.
“Continue to dream high and al-ways remember that if others can do
it, there is no reason why you can’t. always work in a positive way, respect and love the clients because they are the lifeblood of the industry. the more calls you have, the more chances of closing deals. respect your fellow telemarketers, put your feet on the ground and always be thankful for all the blessings,” he quips.
Lorelie, or “Lala” to her colleagues, has been
working for Keysquare for seven years. During those
years, she has learned to wel-come one change after the other, being assigned to differ-ent departments, thus, al-lowing herself to become more versed with every task given to her.
she admits that it is not easy being a tele-
m a r -k e t e r
because the job is defined by
the amount of sales you can make so every
day is challenging.“being a telemarketer is
kind of stressful because you have to worry about how you can reach your quota and at the same time, you have to deal with frustrations and changes but at the end of the day, if you choose to work well and have
the positive disposition then ev-erything will be okay,” says Lala who is a Mass Communication graduate from Collegio de Dagupan.
she emphasizes that though the job can really
be stressful at times there are also some perks like getting a commis-sion once you hit your quota and other in-centives that the
company is be-nevolent enough
to give. Working for
Keysquare for se-ven long years, it’s enough to say that it has become a fruitful stay because all the hard-work, determination and challenges that she faced allowed her to have a full grasp of her worth as a telemarketer.
“there may be com-petition among tele-marketers but what is important is that you stay focused, compete fairly, pray, continue to
believe in what you can do
and to nev-er allow people to put you d o w n , ” adds Lala.

Four years ago, she knew no- thing about KeySquare, then known as PIMS, when her officemate at One global told her to try apply-ing as a telemarketer in the com-
p a n y. Armed
with faith, she passed a
resume, applied for the job, and was luck-
ily hired. employees need to take the leap from time to
time for
growth.Working at KeySquare may
have its own shares of ups and downs but rubie has learned to
always take the bad in with the
good. being a mother, rubie has all the inspiration and reason to work hard and put in the numbers.
“no matter how my day turns out to be because of work, i know that i’m still blessed because i know i’m a good mom to my son. having him has really inspired me to do my best at work. there are times when i’d be getting calls from irate clients but i always strive hard to stay focused and positive for my family,” she says.
Finishing a degree in Com-puter Secretarial at imus Compu-ter College, rubie had worked in five companies before land-ing her present job. Working in the company for four years, she admits that most of the time she’s feeling the pressure but she takes and sees it as an inspiration to further push herself to be more determined to reach
her quota.When everything is too much
to handle, rubie turns to prayers for strength to do her job well. Also, be- i n g passionate about work is her s e -cret to hit- t i n g her sales t a r -get.
