Matrix Design

August 26, 2013 11:54 PM

I had another family aside from my own. Outside our home, Matrix Design people have been a family to me. I still remember how I found them. I sent a resume to the company’s email address. The position was said to be an Architectural Designer. They called up after two days and asked me to visit the office. That time, I was still employed under RS Carson General Construction. I’ve been their employee for almost four months. My first was in Fairmont Hotel, Raffles Suites and Residences in Makati, followed by in Tuscany Private Estate in Mckinley Hills, Taguig. I was asked to report to Solaire Resorts and Casino to finish their As-Built Drawings, but I refused. That’s was the time I submit an application to Matrix Design Inc.

Matrix Design Inc. is a small type of Architectural and Construction Firm, unlike from my previous company before it. It focuses more on residential and commercial establishments. The company prepares Architectural drawings from a scratch or schemes that eventually translated into AutoCAD form as time the client approves the plans, then the preparation for working drawings will start. I was shocked about this company. I just didn't expect the bigger changes. I never been had a chance to handle those kinds of project on my previous work. The two companies have a different kind of scopes in this field. Matrix Design taught me many things that I've never encountered in school.

In this company, I've met different kinds of individuals. I first met Jonas, he was late then and I was there for my examination and interview. Then I met Kuya Larry, he’s act as head of our team. He instructed me what I will do. He is kind, so as Jonas. Both of them have different characteristics. Jonas is sort of jolly and bully. He loves to tease me, whenever he had a chance. We used to talk about movies and loves to trade. Kuya Larry is a hilarious person, he sometimes serious, but most of the time cheerful. I was seated beside him that makes him special to me. I used to share my thoughts and problems to him. He’s a good Kuya and he always gives me advice  I also met Neri. We had a short time of getting to know thing since she left the company by April. She is kind and cool. She acts and say what she think is right. She doesn't hide her negatives sides, and that makes me like her. She is true to herself. Jennifer and Rosanna came up from nowhere. I knew that they always work there as their summer job. These kiddos are so dear to me. They make me laugh and amazed in different way. I love them for being so sweet and kind to me. Kiara and Sir Alex are also part of it. Kiara is the Civil Engineer of the group and Sir Alex conducts the cutting list. Sir Alex is kind to me despite the gossips I've heard from other people. I still thank him for his kindness. Ren is the newest in our group. I was the reason he knew the company. Ren is a funny guy and it’s not hard to like him. He has this kinda unique character that makes us all laugh. And of course, I will never forget Sir Alain. He is the Designer of the company. He is the leader of the Architectural Team of Matrix Design. He is smart, has a strong character but very kind person. I owe a lot of things to him. He taught me more than what I need to learn. He shares his experience in Architectural field and explains so many things about it. I've known him for being so generous in knowledge. He shares a lot. Some people nearby doesn't understand his attitude. They take him in different way. They focus only on his bad sides and forgot that he also has a good side. Sir Alain is an idol to me. He always inspires me to dream high and share it at the same time. He helped me to solve some issues in my life. He understands my thoughts and accepts my opinions. He listened to me that my own father never did. He sees the good side of me and believes that I have potential to make it on the top. I will never ever forget that he once stands as my father. I will always keeps on my mind what he always shares, what are his advice  I still hope that the people inside the company could able to see what I saw to him. He is a good person, God knows that.

Matrix Design Inc. is owned by brothers Arch. Maximo C. Chan Jr. and Arch. Edgar C. Chan. Both of them are kind and humble persons. They accept and respect everyone’s opinions and decisions. I also owe a lot to them and to their mother, Mrs. Chan.

I love the people behind Matrix Design. They've been a family to me. They've been a friend to me and I will always treasure all our memories we had, and honor each one of them. I love them and I thank God for letting me be part of the team even in a short period of time.
