Sayonara

2009-07-03T10:10:00.004+08:00

I just made myself bum. I think, think, sip a coffee and think again... at last made my decision. I choose to leave the company before I become regular with the work.

I will take this time to evaluate my goals and find new opportunities.

A new journey to the unknown. As of now, I don't know what would happen after this decision. I don't know where will this ride take me. I hope for the best.

I'm thankful for the experience.

Sayonara.

Mystical Anawangin

2009-06-16T20:06:00.004+08:00

The rainy season is up. But the thrill doesn't stop from there.

The first time I saw the place from a picture, I felt excited and very eager to go. I have read several stories about this mystical place. There were instances where people drown to dead. Stories that I think every place has to tell. But that doesn't stop me from going.

I love to travel, go to different places were culture diverse. See different places other than Manila. I've been to several places in Luzon and Visayas but I think Anawangin, Zamabales is one of the best places I have ever been. I wouldn't compare it to Boracay, because they are way different with each other.

It was a 3 hours bus ride from Manila to San Antonio, Zambales. Then a tricycle ride. When we arrived to the beach, several bangkeros approach us for a boat ride to the cove. But of course, budget was strict. The price was alright for Php250 for a 2-way ride. It was about 20 exciting minutes for a boat ride.

It was about 3pm when, at last, we arrived at the cove. I saw people with there g-strings on, swimming, laughing and enjoying every minute of there stay. Before going, we researched about what to expect to the place. No electricity, no cottages BUT there are 3 simple comfort rooms, and electric pump for water.

Even without electricity, we enjoyed the night. Bonfire was lite. Smores were made. Laugh and drink till we fell asleep.

The next day. We took a hike to take some evidences(pictures). We depart at around 4pm.

The experience was great. It is a great place to relax and enjoy nature. It would be great especially for those who love to take some time from the hustle and bustle life in the metro.

I'm sure i'll be back.

A(H1N1) Vaccine

2009-06-14T17:13:00.003+08:00

Vaccine for influenza A(H1N1) first batch was produced by Novartis AG, Swiss pharmaceutical company. It stated that it was weeks ahead of expected date. Good thing we can now prevent the spread of disease. But the release of this vaccine would still be delayed due to World Health Organization's approval. Several test would still be made. The expected release to the market would be on September.

The Swiss company said that 30 governments requested for the vaccine including the U.S that has several cases of A(H1N1) victims.

I wonder if the Philippine government also requested for the vaccine. I hope so...

Sorry for the inconvinience...

If your sick of what you're seeing...

You don't have a choice... blah! ^_^

The Infamous Influenza A(H1N1)

2009-06-09T22:44:00.006+08:00

Another confirmed victims from Ateneo de Manila. An article from Inquirer.net. Classes were suspended for 10 days. According to the article, the infections were mild and the students are now feeling better.

It's hard not to be paranoid with this situation. Even if some infections are mild. Knowing that there are several instances of this virus where found. Most of them were foreingers (mostly students) and locals who have been to abroad (maybe on vacation). Even in our office premises, people got so paranoid when a co-worker was infected with a flu (no affirmation of AH1N1!) and knew that she came from Zambalez (the place where first infection was found.)

Stocks Now. Is it not a good time to invest?

2009-06-08T23:17:00.003+08:00

I have this much interest in investing in the market now even if there is this recession. I'm a newbie but I think its better to invest now because of low prices of stocks.

Any tips you can give?

I'm back.

2009-06-08T21:10:00.002+08:00

It's been months. Finally decided to continue my journey with this blog. Many things happened for the past months that wasn't blogged about.

NOW, I'm back.

OJT hunting sa tektite

2008-07-13T17:31:00.001+08:00

Yesterday, I had my first examination for work at Fujitsu Ten Solutions. The examination was for the position associate system engineer. I would say that it was an experience since I don't have any clue on what could possibly happen. Based on my observation, I think ako lng ata yung mag-OJT e. And I don't think alam nung HR, which Ms. Luna (by the way she's hot), na ako ay mag-OJT lamang. Most of the people I talked to is struggling for a job. I think I've just heard someone said "If this thing doesn't work, I will take a job muna at a call center." I don't think your four or five years of struggling at school is worth it if you would even think of applying for a job at a call center.

I got up at 5:30am and I reviewed my C++. I went off at 7am and arrived at 7:30am. It was fast since it was an early Saturday morning. As usual, Bumili ako ng baon ko, yosi, candy at tubig. I puffed a stick then went to the office. As I entered the room, it was filled with tension since my competitor would be just around the corner. The room is silent. Actually, busy lng sila sa pag-sagot sa application form. About 8:15am we were asked to go to the main examination room. We were about 30+ examinees. We had different positions. Most are for QAs. First exam, I.Q. test. Biruin mo nakapasa ako. Ang hirap nung math tsaka nung English. But the rest was just fine. The exam started at 8:30am and lasted until 11pm. After the exam, I rushed down stair to take a yosi break. Around 12pm we when back to the room and did our next exam which is the technical exam for the ASE. The technical exam was easy, i guess. Karamihan sa mga tanong ay puros "What's the output of the C++ program?" may choices pa. San ka pa? And the conversion part alright. The exam that made my day complete was the personality exam. We had to answer 60 SAC sentences. This is where you had to complete the sentence for example "My sex life - ..." We also had a 300 YES or NO questions.

At first, I thought that taking this exam is just for fun. Taking chances.. But I guess working at Fujitsu might be good. Well hope i'd pass.. Hehe..

nagbabalik

2007-11-04T22:04:00.000+08:00

Ako ay nagbabalik. Medyo matagal din akong di nakapagsulat dito. Medyo naging busy na rin kasi sa mga bagay na mas nakakapagpasa sa akin. Di ko naman ibig sabihin na napipilitan lang ako sa ginagawa ko ngayon. Meron lang mas importante akong dapat gawin.

GLOBAL WARMING

2007-02-10T09:34:00.000+08:00

Just yesterday, I attended a seminar. Actually, I don't know the topic. I just went there for my own benefit. For the additional points that would be given to us if we attend the seminar every Friday. I think it would run for 5 weeks. The seminar was conducted by my professor in circuits. At first I was hesitant to go because it was not on my schedule. I've got so much thing to do and need to be done as soon as possible. And besides I was so sick of going to seminars because most of the time I don't understand whats being talked about. Not my interest. I am being forced all the time.

It was supposed to be starting at 6pm. I went there at 6:15pm, still the seminar was on hold. There were technical things that need to be fixed. It supposed to be fixed before the allotted time for the seminar. Well, you know Pinoy. Most of us like to cram to do things up to the last minute.

I had a chitchat with a friend while waiting for the seminar to start. We talked about our organization. We had different organization, his was for music addicts while mine was an academic organization that doesn't look like one. In our organization, we have this so called "PH" which stands for Public Humiliation. We make the applicants to do things that will test your ability to do things without hesitation. We want to eliminate the shyness. And of course, we want to see the applicant's abilities. His organization does some PH too.

The seminar was about to start when the speaker (my professor) said, "Instead of me giving the talk, lets watch first this film about an introduction for our topics. Global warming is an introduction for our topic energy conservation." Global warming? I said in my mind,"Great! I'm going to be stuck here for 2 hours hearing all about some stupid topic."

As the film starts, I said to my friend that It's my interest to watch documentary films. I even watch 9/11 Fahrenheit. It was a long movie but it had given me information and made me think what was happening in the world. Even though it only focused on BUSH stupid business with Bin Laden.

Al Gore was the speaker in the film. He gives the talk about whats happening in the world today and his life. I never know Al Gore before. Only heard him because of the controversy in the states. That BUSH won over him because he was cheated.

As the film was going, it made me realize that we are really responsible for whats happening in this world today. We suffered for our own cause. One striking thing about the movie was the before and after picture of the different places in the world. The result was very devastating. Now, I'm so afraid on what going to happen if we never change our habit. All the waste, such as CO2 coming from our cars, industrial plants and the likes, stuck in the atmosphere change the way we live. Not only us human but also other living things. Numerous viral diseases has emerged because of this problem.

To cut it short, ('coz I'm tired and late for school). We should all act to save our home. The government should also implements laws that would really help saved the environment. Here in the Philippines, I really don't feel that the government does give laws to be eliminate CO2 and CFCs on our cars and other appliances. Other countries implement such laws.

We should not measure whats more important between earning for GOLD than to save our own home. Al Gore also showed an image of the world which was taken by astronauts outside the galaxy. The Earth is a white dot in the darkness.

If we don't give a damn to save the Earth, it was like killing yourself slowly without even knowing it.

NOT MUCH

2007-02-06T01:12:00.001+08:00

I am thinking of making a new layout for this blog. I'm not yet sure on what theme I'm going to do. BUT I'm sure I'll figure it out soon. For now just stick to this design. I've got it from BLOGGERS theme selections.

I'm thinking of making my layout look old. Mejo funky yung dating. I'll just change the overall outlook of the page. I do quite forgot my skills in web designing. Dati pampalipas oras ko lang ang web designing.

Hirap naman ako dating gumawa ng writings. Mejo tatanga-tanga lang ako sa pagsusulat. BUT I just thought that I should be confident on what I write because I DON'T need to please anybody, I just need to satisfy myself.

COLDness

2007-02-02T01:26:00.002+08:00

I'ts been several days, I notice the cold weather we got right now. It's blistering cold. You know us here in the topical region, we always take whats left. The ice in the northern part melts so we benefit this cold weather. It's a good thing so I could use my jacket. LOLs. Pang Japorms. haha.

It's been several days when I realized that I'm still single. The valentines will sure yet to come but still I don't have my valentine. LOLs. Sure, it really feels good to love somebody. Love could really blind us you know. But I'm no expert with lovespells. I'm not a "pretend I know all about love" kind a guy. I still don't have the guts. Torpe kuno.

I QUIT!

2007-01-29T23:35:00.000+08:00

SMOKING - IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH.

Ewan ko ba kung bakit type kta? DI ka naman... ewan. Parang walang natutunan nung HIGHSKUL. Parang walang natutunan sa health subject. Sabi ko noon, "Di ako magyoyosi at inum!" Ngayon ito kabaliktaran ang nangyari. Ang galing naman ng epekto nito noh. Nung una parating may tanong sa sarili, para saan pa't nagyoyosi ako, anong silbe nito sa buhay ko? Ngayon hanap-hanap palagi. Parang di ako makahinga lalo na kapag papasok ako sa skul. Kelangan may hawak ng yosi papasok. Kapag nasa kalahati na ng lakaran parang hingal ako kapag alang usi...

Maraming beses ng sumasakit ang LUNGS ko. Ito di pa rin natututo. Laging nagsasabing "I QUIT!" Di naman ginagawa. Sabay promise sa sarili at sa DIYOS. Ay! nadagdagan lang ng kasalanan. Marami din akong naririnigan ng "I QUIT" na yan.. Pero ayun isang kaha, isang oras. galing di ba?

BLOG = MONEY

2007-01-25T23:50:00.000+08:00

I've heard of this before. Making a BLOG for a living. BUT somehow I don't have the interest. The BIG question is HOW DO THEY MAKE THE MONEY? Was it because of a good quality post? Was it because of the traffic that you generate?

I was using the NEXT BLOG>> button to find interesting blogs. FYI: I've been in the blogging scene for quite sometime now. Say 2years. BUT all I was posting was all about the drama things that drives my life insane. Sometimes I don't have anything to post. I've been updating but not that much. Let's go back to the situation. Yeah! blah! blah! After couple of CLICKS! I was on a BLOG that was kinda weird and not that attractive. With all the advertisements and all of that. Not attractive at all. I was used to see BLOGS thats dramatic.. personal BLOGS I guess.. I have read that the user was a computer science graduate. A computer GEEK indeed.. hehe. FYI:I am a COE student. A PC geek also. LOLZ. I need to because I study this things. That BLOG also has a gimik called "The BLOG for the DAY!" I also saw this ad that says "Sign up, surf and will pay you!" Thats a good slogan! It caught my attention!

I got this instant interest on making a BLOG for a living! LOLZ. Very intriguing. Why not try? I guess nothing will be lost if I try right?

The thing here is that making money out of BLOG is quite difficult for some. Of course, I consider myself as one of them (coz' I'm a newbie). Let's see how it goes. I hope I won't get into trouble.. I don't like peopleto hunt me for doing this job. Hopefully NOT.

BLANGKO

2007-01-15T01:27:00.000+08:00

Sobrang wala akong masulat ngayon kasi wala namang interesting na nangyayari sa aking ngayon. Ewan ko ba sobrang blangko ang utak ko pagdating sa pagsusulat. Wala talaga akong mapiga. Kaya ito pati itong walang katinuaan ko sa pagsusulat nagiging topic na rin sa blog kong 'to. Kung mapapansin nyo magulo akong magsulat, dahil sa hindi naman talaga ako marunong magsulat. Sobrang nagpipiling lang. Nagdadrama lang. Siyempre sino ba naman ang kakausapin ko syempre ang sarili ko. Medyo nagiging psychotic na. Sino bang nagpapatakbo ng isip? siyempre ang sarili. Kaya sa huli ang sarili pa rin ang magdedesisyon kung ano ang dapat gawin.

Para sa akin totoo yung anghel at demonyo sa isip. Sobrang nag-aaway. Sino ang mananalo? Siyempre ang kasamaan. Pero of course not all the time. Di ko naman palaging pinagbibigyan ang kasamaan noh. May good side pa naman ako.

Anyway, I'm not making a point here.. so adios for now.

I can't make you love me..

2007-01-09T02:08:00.000+08:00

I can't make you love me by Bonnie Rait. T'was a good song from a lady I don't know. I know the song from somewhere, I really can't recall. I was listening on it just awhile ago. Its something about love of course. But besides the melody, I love the essence of the song. Knowing the fact not having to much drama inside. Well, of course sometimes I get to much drama. Just like now.

No one inspires me right now but things around makes me inspire. Inspires me to be someone new. Not to forget the old me but I want to know more about myself and to discover what more could I do. I think we only live in this place just to improve ourselves. To be prepare I guess.

I really hate myself for not being content for what I have. Having more is my motto. I am JUST a HUMAN. I guess we should not be content to what we know but we should be content on what we have. All the time it's mixed up. WE are not being contented on what we have. We are not content on what the world gives us.

As a simple comeback post.

22o ba 'to?

2006-08-16T01:19:00.000+08:00

SUKOB

2006-08-07T05:19:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, i was with my friends at Mapua. We watched "SUKOB." It was a good movie. The story was good. But some part or rather concept was copied from some other horror movies. At first you thought that both brides come from other time dimension. Overall, t'was good.

Actually, Mall of Asia wasn't that big at all. Ayos lang. Dun kami nanood. Astig yung mall. Ibang klaseng mall. Indoor na outdoor... parang ganun. Pwede magyosi sa mall. Kasi open air. Mukhang mapapadalas ata ako dun sa mall na yun kasi malapit lang. Pupunta lang ako dun para magkape tsaka yosi of course .. It was nice to have gone there because the bayside rocks! It wasn't that improved yet... for me. But it was fun goin' there and we had fishball and stuff. The only thing i'm afraid of is when that bay area becomes a trash. You know what I mean. It was okey to have vendors but to stay there for good, a BIG NO! NO! Lots of people flock at the sea wall. And most of them stood and sat on it. Parang squatters area ang dating. Di ko lang maintindihan, pag ang pinoy nagpunta sa park, pumapangit yung park. Parang nagiging squatter yung paradise. Kasi lahat ng magaganda nagiging pangit sa huli. Parang first time nakakita ng dagat tapos parang first time nagpunta sa park. Parating parang first time. Laging naiigno. LOL. Pupunta sa park para lang mag bike? Tapos yung tipong ang daming dalang baon. Parang outing.

Speaking of first time, ngayon na lang ulit ako gumimik kasama yung mga friends ko na yun. Kasi ba naman busy talaga kami lahat. Tapos umuuwi pa sila palagi ng maaga galing school. Yung tambay namin sa wall di na nanamin nagagawa. Nakakamiss yung samahan.

Introduction

2006-08-05T22:54:00.000+08:00

What should I talk about?

Well, nothing in particular I guess. I want to write things that pops out of my mind in an instant. Nothing to be logical to suite your mind.

Sige na nga. Since i have this new blog, i should introduce myself better. I may be wrong grammar... just bear with me.. pls...

I grew up in a family that I knew was perfect. BUT guess I was wrong. I thought we were happy living together but I was wrong. Some things are hard to understand. Up to now, I always think that no matter what happens... LIFE must go on.

I'm currently in college (alive and kicking!) taking up Computer Engineering (COE) at Mapua Institute of Technology. I tell you sobrang hirap dun. Siguro sinasabi nyo ngayon na walang mahirap sa taong nag-aaral. Pero mahirap talaga. Literally speaking. Eventhough you strive too hard to do better, you still fail to please yourself. Quarter system kami mga chong... hirap! And I belong to an organization that I would consider as my second family. MICRO astig!

I'm not good in executing a good JOKE. Well, some do laugh but to krank a joke is too hard for me... I will elaborate this with my future post. Ibibitin ko lang muna.

Most of the time, I am just sitting there at the corner doing nothing. Tambay lang kung baga. Mas gusto ko kasi manahimik kasi at peace ako pag ganun. Di naman talaga ako yung taong pala kwento kung baga. Maingay ako pag-maingay. Di ako yung taong palaging maingay at mahilig magpapansin. Makulit lang ako minsan. Sa kababawan, IN ako. Di ako autistic. Madali lang ako kausap pagdating sa mga bagay-bagay tulad sa galaan, cheating, at kung anu-ano pang kabalastugan sa buhay. Very approchable ako.

I'm not that out going person. Mediocore lang siguro. Kasi marunong akong mahiya and at the same time maingay din ako.. basta ganun ako. Minsan maingay na maingay tapos bigalang mananahimik bigla.

I have this technique with dealing with other people. Di ako mahilig makipagbasagang ulo with others. Wala akong kaaway. As much as possible, I am the first one to make the apology eventhough I did not do something. Mababa lang pride ko most of the time pero people do explode sometimes. Mas gusto ko kausap ang isang tao one-on-one. Kasi mas nakikilala nila ako. Di naman ako isnabero. LOL.

Nagugulat na lang ako pagnasasabihan ako na insensitive. Most of the time i am just being jolly. I am never that too serious with my life... I am just going with the flow. Wala akong magagawa doon. Pero siyempre I have dreams to pursue. I guess all of us wants to be a somebody. I believe life is a BIG puzzle but it should not be a BIG headache.

Before I forgot, I am single. Proud of it? No. But I guess it is not the right time. When is the right time? NO ONE KNOWS. Di naman kasi hinahanap yun. Dumadating yun. Kasi kung hahahanapin mo... para ka lang nakikipag laro ng tagu-taguan. Your asking me kung na-inlove na ba ako? Siyempre... maraming beses na rin! pero nothing worked out. Nalalapitan ko lang ay mga kaibigan ko. Na-torpe lang siguro ako. Kasi the first thing that comes out of my mind is the memories that with been through. So we better be friend instead. Kasi ang hirap sa akin, mahilig kasi akong magsawa sa mga bagay-bagay tsaka mahilig lang akong makipaglaro. Isip bata pa nga siguro pagdating sa mga ganyang bagay. When times comes... time comes! So good.

I do smoke and drink. I ain't proud of it. But what can i do, i can't rid of it. Adik din sa kape. A happy go lucky person na marunong din magseryoso. Ilang ako sa taong na naiilang din sa akin.

Honestly, writing is not what I really do pero ewan ko ba kung bakit nahiligan ko lately ang pagsusulat. Di ko siya obra. I don't have that much literacy. Wrong grammar nga ako most of the time eh. Basta you can understand what I'm saying... Ayos na un! marunong kang magbasa! It's nice to share your stories with other kahit na wala naman itong kwenta para sa kanila.

Hope this bit info would give you a bit idea of who I am. But this will never stop. We will still meet and you will still read my life...i guess.

Hope to hear from you soon.

BLAGADAG once again...

2006-08-01T02:40:00.000+08:00

Ano bang naisip ko at ginanahan na naman akong gumawa ng bagong blog? hmm... Nainggit lang siguro ako kasi nakakita ako ng isang blog na ang daming nagcomment. Maganda naman talaga yung blog niya eh. Iniwan ko na yung dati kong blog kasi nabobored na ako sa layout. "I want something new." Ang arte... Gusto ko ng bagong bahay sa mundo ng WWW. Gusto ko ng isang mansion sa tuktok ng isang bundok na kita ang mga skyscrapers... (koneksyon sa blag.) Basta gusto ko maging aktibo muli sa pagsusulat ng kung anu-ano. Pero ngayon mas susubukan kong maging mas may sense. Yung tipong maraming nagkokomento. Yung kunwari sikat ka sa mga bloggers... kc nga marami comments! un.. un lng gusto kong gawin. Simple lang... Tsaka nawiwili ako dun sa blag sa prendster. Masnapapadalas ako dun... kaya ngayon susubukan ko dito sa blogger dot com naman. Susubukan ko ring mag-update ng madalas. Subok ako ng everyday meron. "ASA!" basta tignan na lang natin kung ano mangyayari... Tsaka tungkol sa layout... ala pa akong naiisip. Matagal na pag-iisip pa yun. Ayoko namang parang may "theme" blag ko. Kasi dati meron. Ngayon, i will make it more simple. At mas ako... mas makikilala niyo ako. I will make things easy for you to know me better.
