Javier’s Summer Job at Cibo

By | Education, Foodie, For kids, Workshops | 12 Comments

One day, Jaime happily announces to us that he got his brother, Javier a summer job!  I love it that my son is learning to use his connections! 🙂 Apparently, he contacted his good friend, Amado ( son of Gaita Fores ), and asked him to get Javier a summer job at Cibo 🙂  What a good brother!  He has been so frustrated that Javier is not making use of his summer so  he made the initiative to get him something to do…and the beauty of it is it is right beside where Jaime has his summer job at Starbucks 🙂

Two weeks ago, I went to drop Javs off to Cibo on his first day

Love this place!

And here is Tita Gaita!!  Welcoming Javier and turning him over to her manager, Eunice! I turned him over to them and wished them luck! haha!!

Tita Gaita brought him into the kitchen

I saw these posters on the kitchen door!  And I love them!  This is why Gaita is so successful!

Day 3 at training, I went to visit him to check on him and just as I suspected, the first thing I see in the window – Javier eating lunch!  It was 1130am!  I told Gaita that I think Javier’s incentive to go to work is to have his meal! He loves Cibo food!

Pizza!! He was describing to me his pizza with so much passion!! Then I left him to work

I went back in the afternoon and peeped thru the kitchen hole and there he was cooking!!  I was happy because that is what he really likes!  And I am happy he is learning about the business because he keeps telling me that one day he wants to open his own restaurant.  Well, what better way than to learn from one who is successful now like Tita Gaita! Thank you Gaita!!!

And we decided to do a full force visit so we can try his cooking!

Javs in the kitchen, he is in heaven when he is inside here 🙂

We requested for Javier to cook our meal – we will not mind if it is not perfect 🙂 He is not allowed to cook for customers yet since he is not yet professionally ready to do so, so when we ordered we made sure he was allowed to cook for us and they let him 🙂

Prepared by Javs for his brother – Pasta with pate – not sure of the name

The famous Telefono!  Everyone is asking Javier for the recipe but he does not know either! 🙂  Good system by Gaita!

Pasta Valentin ordered by Javier but not cooked by him, he wanted to rest and eat…..  “Mom, I’m tired, I’ve been standing all day!  I punched out already” 🙂

Congratulations to my cousins, Gippy and Hindy Tantoco for a super wonderful Balik Bukid fair!!!!  Heart2Heart enjoyed so much!!!!!  It was really a very nice event for the family.  We arrived at around 830am and there were already many people there.  The booths were really nice and unique!! and the food as well!!!  I wish I could have stayed all day. I could not put all 500 photos of mine so I compiled them into a video so you won’t miss most of the details of the event.  I am looking forward to PART 2 which I hope will be before Christmas!! and Part 3 and Part 4 and Part 5…..
