lost and having fun

2am and just on my way home to UP. I’ve been living in UP for about a year now and this is quite the first time im going home this late to the new place (the aptmnt where we used to live was demolished. As per our landlord, The place where it used to stand will be made into an engineering complex.) and amazingly enuf I only know the way to the house by riding the “Ikot” jeep that roams around UP and they only go till 12MN, in short I freakin dunno the way back! T_T and I know its better if I take a cab home but I’d probably just go round and round UP and never get home. So heres what I did,
I hitched a ride with one of my ofcm8s in her cab(she’s going valenzuela) and asked her to drop me at GMA(timog). While in the cab I tried to remember the map I bought a year ago when I first started living in UP. As far as I can remember the apartment I used to live is about the opposite side of the map to the place I live now. in Timog I took ride on a bus going Fairview , I already had a mini map drawn in my mind and I was hoping its accurate(i really hoped, truth is im feeling lost T_T). I asked the kundoktor to drop me in commonwealth near the big Iglesia bldg. the kundoktor said “ahh, sa central ka, wag mo sabihin commonwealth 18php pamasahe dun, s central 11php lng.” Mighty nie of him not to take advantage of a few coins. Anyways when I was near the iglesia church some guy said “kuya sa UP Gym lang”, I know that place so I also went down there. I know im close to home coz I see the Gym when I go out so im slightly relieved tho im still lost. As I was entering the campus grounds the guards approached me and asked me who I am and where im going. I answered in complete honesty, I said I live there, tho im just new to the place and its my first time to go home this late. He asked a few more questions and he’s quite new to the place too so he just let mo go in. before I went in I asked him if he knows the way to my haus,(I gave him couple of landmarks), alas he’s just the guard at the gate and also don’t know his way around UP. Anyways I went on my way and try to look for the route I usually see in the morning. Its dark and the place looked like a nice spot to shoot horror movies, if I wasn’t worried bout how to get home I might even take a moment and sit under one of those big trees and admire the night. A strong shower just went by so the place is all wet. Back on my track to find home I just walked blindly to the night not knowing where I am till I saw a bldg with brick finishing, I think it’s the UP film institute bldg or the other one beside it. Logically infront of it should be the “bahay ng alumni”, dead on the spot there they are, I was able to find my way with a little help from the map I bought a year ago! Haha.. well finding those buildings is enuf for me to find my way.. the rest is history. It took me about 20mins of walking inside the UP campus wondering where I was and admiring the place.

All in all the walk home was fun.. J id gladly do it again, tho i home the next time I do it the grounds are dry para nmn makatulog muna s ilalim ng puno dun.. haha.. mejo may pagka nature lover kc..

engineered class clowns

hmmm.. the net in the ofc is still cut off and i wrote this last week, and even tho its late im posting. haha..(pag nabalik n net ko bawi ako s posts.. :))


November 1saturday, amidst the heavy crowd in the bus terminal I struggled to go home. Just to say I had a break. Its been really busy in the ofc these past days since the BIG day before our system goes live( live- pertaining to the system being launched replacing the old legacy system). Almost all the peeps in the ofc want a break even for just a while, though were all forbidden to take a leave at least im just from bulacan its just a hours away from manila giving me the luxury of spending time with relatives in this holiday. Well for me its just rest, rest, rest all im aiming for the week is rest, come next week it’ll be even more harsh in the ofc that any minute error could coz you a teary eyed experience in the ofc. Anyways back to the terminal, here I am carrying a bag loaded with laundry and just a few pasalubong for my pamangkins, seeing the line go from an organized to a pitiful sight, there’s no systematic way that all the peeps here are all wanting to go home as soon as they can. There the line just go longer and longer its like a never ending wait till you get to sit at the bus. Me well I actually waited in line for about 30mins and after that my patience is wasted and I just opt to just rush in front when the conductor offers slot for those who’d want to stand. Luckily I quickly caught a bus. Coincidently I found RJ, one of my barkadas back in college. We’re both relieved that we could go home then.

We did the usual kamustahan chit chats. We just kept talking bout nonsense like back in college. Back then we were just the class clowns, he’s a mechanical engineering stud and I a comp eng’g. the professors back then knew us well, since we(barkada) made fun of almost anything even laugh at our own follies. We really didn’t imagine our selves us engineers of the future, all were just for fun. Even some of the professors kept on mocking us that we’ll just be instant engineers if we graduated and that we were no good for this.(the hell with him we will not falter). In college we were always the guys who worked our asses in the back, if something needs a quick fix here we are, if theres no participant for a contest and theres no one to do it, theres always one in the barkada who’ll definitely fit the job. (me, im not for the acads im in the creative forte and networks/hardware). Well those were the days. We did our time. After six pain staking years of studying in college we graduated, since then the barkada only met onece in awhile for we all had our plans laid. RJ is one that ive only seen just now. (miss the group).

“Tabang, tabang jan” says the kundoktor, hearing this gave a signal that we could now take seats! J after having our seats in the back then we talked a little bout work, he showed me what he was doing in his work, he showed me plans..WTH!! he now signs plans?! I said to him “tol engineer n engineer n dating mo ah!” . haha.. never in my wildest imagination that the idea that we be serious in our fields. “kailangan lng pumirma din ako para daw pag di nagtugma mga assessments kasama ko makukulong.. haha” he responded back. Well even if it was just a joke theres no doubt he’s an engineer now(well maybe just pretending,, haha) he says the plans he’s involved in making costs millions. (now this isn’t boasting they do cost millions). Well I the system were workin on cost millions too!(dollars! Haha).

Chatting with RJ I found out that even he has no idea what happened or where the other guys in the group who always go clowning around in school is. Seemingly enough even though we were just taking college in an easy manner only one member of the barkada didn’t finish the engineering course, he’s now a med tech in Canada and even owns his own bar. (See, even if you he didn’t graduated as an engineer he’s even better today). Anyways as far as I know most of the guys in the barkada are now a part of big companies. Well I hope to see the clowns together sometime(this Christmas may be?). clowning is what we did in college and now look at us, the engineered class clowns.. :) We may not be where we want us to be at the moment but we'll be sure to make a mark on what ever endeavors’ we take. we'll be sure to show those who looked down on us and prove 'em wrong. we dont always work on the behind the scenes, this time we'll be the main acts. haha..

my lawyer

in the past two weeks i wast able to post, the reason? not only am i busy with the never ending tasks given to me at work but its all due to the fact that they cut my internet at the ofc.. errr... the freakin sys ads completely cut my internet connection, now all i haveis the intranet. they must have felt bad when they got a memo from their sups since i keep on finding loopholes in their security, now their getting back at me by cutting my internet,(i got this from a friend in their department).

anyways last monday was about 50% of my tasks deadlines, i brushed up on my collaborating skills and submited my patches to the deployer of the project. ofcourse i tested them before i submitted them. with that i felt a big big relieve on my part for being able to finish all those dev tasks in time.(the project were doin at the moment will be used for about 10yrs so all tasks are crucial) the day came to an end with a busy note from our head manager saying "from this moment on, BAWAL n magkamali" with that it gave more pressure on us since we'll all be doin major taks each.

after work i went to landamrk trinoma for a little grocery then went home. when i arrived i took a shower and cooked for dinner, my brothers in bulacan so i got the whole place for my self. after dinner i watched tv. arround 11:00pm my fone rang. as i rushed to it i saw that it was my TL calling. i answered it and surprissingly enough her voice was a little shivering, she was telling me that my supervisor will talk to me in the morning. i asked why? she said "sumabog yung patch mo." in laymens term my something from the patch i submitted made the system crash. i said it was imposible since i tested it over and over and im confident it wouldnt crash like she says. she just said thats what happened at that ill just have to talke to my sup.

that night i wasnt able to get sleep. i keep thinking why my patch crashed the system and what will my sup tell me. i just lay in bed and think. i took a deep breath just told my self to prepare for tomorrow. its just two things really, its either i accept it or not it wont change the fact that its my patch that gave the error. morning came and i think i slept for about an hour or so. just did my daily routine as if i wasnt going ro recieve a major pounding in the office. still shaken by the thought i went to office as normally as i could. while i was in the mrt i recieved a text fro mitch saying "pag kinausap daw ako cia bahala sakin". i wondered what it meant, but still ive prepared my self for the worst.

when i arrived at the office, my sup still wasnt there. i patiently turned on my pc and waited for my early pounding. mitch sat beside me since we're seatmates, her cube is just beside mine. she just smiled at me when i arrived and said "akong bahala sau". i just smiled back. a few minutes more my sup arrived and called for me. mitch went ahead and talked to my sup. when i reached them my sup was smilin at me. turns out mitch investigatd on the incedent and found the real cause of the error. it WASNT ME. the guy who selfishly blamed me for the incedent was caught red handed with the real error. he who blamed me just got himself in a whole lot of mess commin his way. they called him ASERO kasi wala n natutuwa s kanya lahata ASAR na s kanya.
with that i felt like the bullet missed me by a hairline. the error was critical indeed and my patch was so close to it that they tought it was me.. i got my miracle that day. just when i feel like its the end for me, i even got a boost from nowhere. i didnt know i had a lawyer beside me all along..

thanks mitch. this one's for you.

The History of the Middle Finger

i was browsing my email and read something that im betting you dont know either.
i just want to share this nonsense. hope its worth you time tho.. :)

Well, now......here' s something I never knew before, and now that I know it, I feel compelled to send it on to my more intelligent friends in the hope that they, too, will feel edified. Isn't history more fun when you know something about it?

Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew").

Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew! Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute! It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird."

And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing.

note: this just came from an email no offense meant to those offended

walking bird

hmmm.. i havent been able to post for quite a while now since the ofc net just freakin blocked out everything, but here i am now! HURRAY! i found a new loop hole.. haha. sysads cant stop me!!!

well anyway here's a little sumthin a came up, i cant seem to find the best characters but theese will do.. its a story that even todlers wont like.. i like it tho.. haha..

******************************************************************************************

once i saw a humming bird walking blindly to nothingness, looking like he's got the whole world on his back he seemed to be tired of flying. i dont know why but it seemed to capture my attention so i observed his ways. theres nothing special bout him tho, except for the fact that it walks instead of flying. days gone by and he seemed ok.

then one day while walking in his endless path to nothingness he bumpped to a flower, a flower thats diffrent from all the rest, the flower seemed to share the burden that the bird is carrying. tired and haggard from his walk the bird took shelter under the flowers shade. the flower didnt mind it, in fact the flower embraced the bird. after resting the bird continued on his journey to nothingness. time and time again he seem to find himself bumpping into the flower that gave him shade. soon after the flower and the bird became close friends. the bird feeding on its nectar while the flower relieved from its fear of insects since the bird protected it from harm.

soon after many more flowers blossom around the flower where the bird took a new niche. these new flowers all wanted to have that unique bird by their side and have the protection that the bird is giving to the apple of its eye. they send hints to the bird saying the look and their nectars taste better than that of what he already have. the bird influenced by the charisma of the other flowers took a small step away from her friend but before he took a nother step he took out a strong rope (invisible to the naked eye) from inside him and tied it tightly to the stem of the flower whom he dears deep. "why?" asked the flower to her bird friend, "its a bond" the bird replied. "its a bond so even if im swayed by others i will not not be able to go far and i will always find my way to you, it also forbids me from ever touching other flowers." said the bird. "but why? im not forbidding you to do anything, im glad that you are here more than you'll ever know" said the flower to the bird. "and with that, from this day onwards i will be here for you no matter what." said the bird to the flower. hence as the days past a stong relationship was tendered between the two. the flower shed no beauty to others excep the bird yet it grows more beautiful as the days passed, whilre the bird on the otherhand was enlighten and the burden that used to enslave him seem to vansih as they continued their friendship. everytime the bird is swayed by others and tries to see them he'll always find the rope tied to him and his flower friend and returns back.

they were the picture of happiness. no one dare go between them for they knew all their efforts will be futile. but one day.. one day with no warning and signs, the flower just vanished from the birds sight. the bird confused.. hard as it may seem, he looked every where for his friend. the other flowers saw what happened and one by one they took their best shot to sway the bird to them, indeed they suceeded in swwaying the bird but just when the bird was close to them the bird stops and return to where his flower friend once was. he's still tied to the place with the unseen rope that he tied long ago. he for once have no strength to cut the rope nor untie it, perhaps he just doesnt want to. time passes and he patiently keeps an eye waiting for her friend. believing in her return.

its a crappy story but theres a reason for this..

crossed finger concert else twilight it is

just a few hours more and the much awaited reunion concert by the music of the 90s legend EHeads is about to take place. rumors has it that it was nearly cancelled due to a cigarette company's compliance issue with the DOH. the concert used to be a free concert for all those of legal age and a smoker, all you have to do is register to the cigarette company's website and submit a scanned id just to verify your age. truth be told i think the cigarette company won a lot in their plot to secretly advertise in the back end their product while attempting to be the sponsor of the said event. even tho they will pay a rumored 10m each for the members of the band they are still the winners of this scheme since the advertsing alone is good enuf, the band have legions and legions of fans so its a win win situation for them. anyway i think the new sponsor for the concert is sony bmg i think(not sure really) coz the initial sponsors backed down due to the charges that they will face if they continue to be the sponsor.

anyways this isnt about their problem its about mine(my problem), you the thing is i and friend of mine(sum special lady) really want to watch the concert. but she will have a therapy on that day so the possibility that we will be able to go together is a little thin. that concert was supposed to be my ace for her to relax a bit since she's been stressed by the therapy and her work. lately she's been having difficuylt nghts due to her therapy so i wanted her to unwind a little. if her schedulled therapy pressumes tommorow then id say good bye to the concert too. even tho i think i could score some good seats(like when i got really nice seats for lifehouse concert) i guess ill just have to pass also. i would want her to be jealous of me being able to go while she cant.

i do have somethig in mind tho instead of the concert theres this book ive been wanting to buy since ive been getting god feedback from it. its the twilight series by meyer, some bookworm had this really nice comments to it even giving her synopsis giving me an idea of the book. girls love em love stories, this one has a twst involving lycans and vamps. im planning on giving her the book ^_^ thanks doc...(ade) if her therapy goes on sched tomorrow then the book it is if not maybe i could still press some buttons and get me those tickets!^_^

praised and booed

since i lost my fone in the MRT a few months back i havent been able to set my mind into buying a new phone, instead i just settled with my brother's old phone(nokia1100), no need for cams or music i just use it for texting ang calling anyway. plus i came to hate peeps who'd take every opportunity in the mrt to pickpocket.

when i lost my phone back then, i wasnt so sure if id tell the guys at home of what happened, but they still found out even tho i tried to hide it still. ofcourse i had tons and tons of sermon pero i bought the phone with my own money nmn kaya mejo asar talaga. and due to the sermons that i had i keept on saying to myself pag may nakaiwan ng phone akin n yun, finders keepers loosers wheepers. i keep saying im evil n, so you good peeps out ther better beware coz i aint returning your phones! i guess i meant it (slight). anyway i know it wont happen so i guess its ok to say that.

months passed and still i havent bought a new phone, coz i thinks theres a lot more things a could use my money instead of the phone, like helping with the bills at home, helping by brother with my sisters tuition and stuff. but a month ago i came to a resolve to buy a new phone or if a psp instead, since wala n koi mapaglibangan s appartment ^_^, this past week i was supposed to buy already but out of nowhere my money got borrowed little by little, not that im complaining or anything, pero nmn(kung kelan naisipan saka sige s mga atraso mga peeps ah) ... before the weeks end im broke.. i guess buying a new phone isnt ok foe now..

then last thursday.. tentenenen.. while i was walking on my way to the mrt station in frontof my eyes i saw the phone dropped from a lady's bag, well d ko lam if namalikmata ako pero the black phone pouch is indeed real! many peepa are going the opposite of my direction and im the onlyone who saw te whole thing. the poouch was inbeetwee two ladies in the line for a slice of pizza or that hongkong style noodles at the mrt, i asked them if the lost their phones and said no so i quickly pick the phone. the two ladies looked at me as if i stole something of great value from them, i just gave them a grin ^_^ i quickly turned to the zagoo booth cause thats where i saw the lady whom i think is the owner of the phone. i approched her with out having second thoughts and ask her nicely if she had lost or dropped her phone. alas, i recieved the most bitchy reply i had, uber taray nmn nya.. as i asked here i saw her bag's zipper open(dun yata nahulog, basta nakita ko lng n papahulog n, akala ko p namamalik mata ako). the lady looked at me as if i was about to do something bad to her, anyway after she saw that her bag was open her mood changed,or atleast her expression changed. i asked her what was her phone? like identifying what i was holding in my hands she said its PDA nokia N99i(i think its china phone pero its better than my nokia1100 db?). again i smiled and gave her the phone. i recieved a nice thank you(not expecting anything else nmn) plus the crowd gave me a warm applause. then i just walked back my way to the train.. all the while inside my mind parang nagsisisi ako pero natutuwa ako.. i guess theres still the factor of greed in me, pero d nmn talaga akin yun and karma works fast(i know it!). so all in all i got applauded by some onlookers but inside i got booed(tyak nmn madami din d gagawa nun if id happend to them).

i finally got my chance, then i blew it! T_T when i got inside the train, ironically the chowking soup for the soul was on, and it played the part where a guy always says "everything happens for the good". they only put that chowking soup for the soul in the morning mostly friday. haha, i guess theres always an exeption. and i think my mind isnt that corrupt after all(i fear GOD more than anything else). so i think ill be doing a raincheck on buying the phone maybe ill get a good deal or sumthin.. : better yet i get it for free :nan -crossed fingers:

btw i never told this to a single soul..

touched by lolo Jan

late last night just before i sleep, as i went upstairs i saw the tv with no one watching my brother and si tatay, nakatulugan ang tv. SINE TOTOO was on and their chosen program for that night was Wish Ko Lang. Featured in it was an old guy(lolo Jan) 82 years of age. now this guy earned my utmost respect. i just gotta log this, it certainly touched me in a way i cant describe.



He is from cavite, a former analyst from a shipping company, sadly when he retired he didn't received any pension from his former company so he kept on striving to get a job. typical scenario maybe but to think he is 82 years old he's supposed to be resting at home basking in his well earned RnR but here he is, struggling in the big city to get a job.



his job hunting day would start early in the morning, with just a measly 50pesos as his baon for the whole day you'd wonder how he lasts. he takes a bus from cavite to baclaran, then for his baon to last he'd walk all the way to Ortigas(WTF for an old guy thats torture! well to anyone actually). "exercise din nmn yun" says lolo Jan. it would take him abaout two hours in his walking adventure from baclaran to ortigas, once in Ortigas a new challenge faces him, going from building to building searching for a job, Lolo Jan would ask janitors if they know any higher ranking person or if he could refer him for a job. he wasn't asking for a permanent open post but just a job for a day. some upper guy came out, even if he want to give lolo Jan a job, he cant, there are lots of younger applicants that may do the job better.(the guy thinks the best for the company and i think he doesn't own it so he cant hire lolo Jan even if he want to.). this is the usual scenario in lolo Jan's hunt for a job. he's only rest is when he fills his hungry stomach with one skyflakes and a zesto drink, that would be he's source of stamina for the remainder of the day. its all he can afford for him to make it home with the little baon that he have.



in one of lolo Jan's job hunting expedition, he was so tired he asked to share a seat from a lady in a coffee shop. "pede bang makiupo dito, pagod na ako at masakit na ang binti ko sa paglalakad" says lolo Jan to the lady. the lady in the coffee shop was miss Claire, a lovely young professional. i think lolo Jan and miss Claire had conversational exhange coz its miss Claire who wrote to Wish Ko Lang to help lolo Jan. like me lolo Jan touched miss Claires heart so she wrote to the said tv program.



i'd like to write down the whole thing but you know what would happen next. of course they helped lolo Jan, (i mean why wont they?) they gave him a job, a source of income, had his wife's cataract removed and a scholarship for his daughter. the man deserves it. he's one of those people who wouldn't let life's challenges stop him. while there are some guys who'd rather be drunkard bums at their young age when they can still be more productive they chose no to. but here we see the exact opposite of them, a person of worthy of phrase for what he's doing comes from his love and care for his family, he wouldn't let death take him till he sees his family in good condition. if each one of us have his courage and determination, imagine what country would be like. this is what we lack the most, most peeps after encountering disappointments tend to roll back to their caves and be a worthless bum. life isn't just a one time try out, we must keep on pursuing a dream. try and be a better person both in the eyes of man and the one above. me, i cant say i didn't falter at some point in my life but still I'm trying to make up for my discrepancies.
as long as you can try then try, sooner or later you'll reap the seeds that you plow.

from hell and back

today started rough which was the result of our hell day yesterday, frankly its the latter part of it.. just minutes before all the deadlines are up master(our boss) came and visit us with additional changes with the task at hand. it was no biggie to us since we've been doin that for the past two days.. before lunch all tasks must be completed and ready for the other team(QAs). we only have just one task remaining and it was deemed un completable since the task owner is on sick leave. we completed all except the task for the one whos absent. a passing mark was given to the team since we do comply to the requirements. master just scratched his chin for the remaining task no done, and a tap on the shoulder to us who completed our assignments.

come lunch time we were like dogs released from our leash, we went on our separate ways. i for once had lunch with a couple of officemates out. we had a nice pizza at some pizzateria in makati.
we returned back to office around 1:30 since all our task for the day was done. once im back at my cube all i did was check my mail play with pokemons on my pc. yes i was on peticks mode.. an hour later i recieved an email from my classmate in college planning for gimicks. i ignored it since most of the time they end up in drawing. i continued playing and stopped to do a little photoshop stuff.(again just killing time). by 3pm i check again on my mail and to y surprise, my mail is clossed, i got tons ad tons of email from my classmates. almost all of them are activein the gimick thread. so i guess it wont be drawing this time. i joined in the chat that they were having.(ginawang chat room ang outlook ^_^).

time quickly passsed and its almost time to go home. suddenly here comes master again, he asked us if we can do the task for our teamate whos on sick leave(like do we have a choice?).
the others started right away, as for me just a quick review and back to peticks since its just a few minutes before my off. i had to request for OT if i stayed longger so i just shut my pc and off i go.

all in all its a good day to me. tho i guess im still far from the "do your best" thingy its ok.
atleast i did my best for my task. guess i just have to adjust a little more coz doin other peeps jobs is what i hate specially if a little far from what i do. still its all in a days work so tomorrow ill finish the given task(none of my teamates would like to finsh it anyway ^_^)

nice qoute.. thanks

the past week was effing busy for me, mostly due to office. i havent been able to do the things i want to do.(gimmicks, photoshop stuff, relaxing, overhaul my blog)
day by day went by and there i was, busy as a bee. i had plans with my college friends to go out but alas due to the hectic sched i wasnt able to make it. the week juts passed me by without even saying hi, or maybe i just wasnt listening. come to think of it my days are getting heavier by the moment. times like this makes me want to be just in school again, no frills and hussles, well maybe a little but not too mcuh that you sometimes loose your self a long the way. when the week end i took the opportunity to rest in bulacan where i could have my peace and relaxation.

i got home in bulacan by 11:00pm, i just check my mails and watch a little tv then took my sleep.
in the morning to my surprise, may lagnat si tatay. so i had to sweep the yard(maglilimas sa bakuran, baha kasi nung madaling araw). i wasnt able to go to church in the morning coz i had things to do, help tatay and stuff. before noon in had to go to the market and buy things to cook, i bought couple of stuff(ng grocery n din ako). i had pork chops marinated, mag iihaw ako. i cooked rice and prepaired the grill.(request ni tatay). lunch time and we had delicious meal courtesy of yours trully ^^, my sister neah loved it.. (si tatay d masyado, wala sya panlasa weh)

in the afternoon i just went to check my email(expecting important message regrding work) while im doin photoshop stuff(images for remaking this blog). i had recievd the email but was still thinkin if i should read it or not, im still tired from the week that passed. im even tired of looking at teh monitor if its work i see in it. still i read the email its a confirmation of a job well done and a preview to whats instore for us(people in my team) in the comming week, im seeing a day of hellish hard work and 2days of RnR(no work!) . a smile escaped my from me, thinking already of what to do during the RnR days ^_^.

just now ive read something from Dr.Ade's post which made me think that maybe, just maybe if i put the same tanacity and effort that i used to give if when i started the job life would better, rather more fun and not as boring as it is right now. well. surfs up! the comming week will be a blast, even tho im seing tuesday as the hellish day for the week i see no reason for me to feel hellish also. its only hellish since it has a huge load of work and most of the deadlines, but coming from a team that imbeds laughter and faces challanges i guess it wouldnt be as hellish at it may seem. guess i just have to see the glass half full once again coz lately its been half empty.

"What's really important in life? Sitting on a beach? Looking a television eight hours a day? I think we have to appreciate that we're alive for only a limited period of time, and we'll spend most of our lives working. That being the case, I believe one of the most important priorities is to do whatever we do as well as we can. We should take pride in that." - Victor Kiam

meaning cant waste my time complaining if i didnt gave it my best. life is short make the best of it.

dr. -thanks for the qoute. it inspires

nakatutuwang patalastas

Malugod ko pong ibinabalita sa inyo ang isang patalastas, “dr.robles’s blog is up and running” . :)
Muling nabigyan ng ningas ang kanyang hilig s paglathala ng kanyang mga saloobin at karanasan atin na kanyang masugid n mambabasa. Sa kanyang puso’y muling nanahan ang kagustuhan na ipagpatuloy ang kanyang nasimulan.

Nuong nakalipas n lingo ay napuno ng hinanakitan ang naunang pahina ng kanyang blog, dahil ditoy bahagya syang nagkaroon ng alinlangan kung dapat pa ba nyang ituloy ito o hindi na? nakararamdam sya ng pagkabagabag.
Nagdaan ang mga araw at wala p rin pagbabago s kanyang blog, ako bilang isang tagasubaybay sa makulay na buhay ng isang doctor sa hinaharap ay nalungkot din para sa kanya.

Mayroon talagang mga tao dito sa lipunang ginagalawan natin na kung mag pahayag ng kanilang paghuhusga ay tila wala ng pakundangan kung may maapektuhan ba ang kanilang pinatutungkulang mga salita. Ang mga pangyayari sa nakaraan ay bahagi n lamang ng kasaysayan n hindi na natin mababago, bagkus ay atin itong kapulutan ng aral. Hindi nasusukat ang pagkatao sa kung ilan ang nagawa mong tama o ilan ang nagawa mong mali s mga nakalipas na panahon. Anag mahalaga ay kung anu k ngayon. Kung anu ka sa mga taong nakapaligid sayo(just like what she said, she's somethin shiny :D). Maiksi lng ang buhay kayat d tau dapat mabuhay s nakaraan, sa halip ay matuto tayo ditto at harapin ang kinabukasan ng may ngiti s muka.(korni n ng post n to haha).

Muli, nais kong ipahiwatig ang aking galak sa muling pagbubukas ng mga pahina ng iyong buhay sa amin.(sana nmn payagan mo na din ako magcomment haha).

before i snooze

its 3 past 12am and im almost done with all the research materials for tomorrow,
been a quite sunday tho the rain kept on pourin. so far so good, all is well here, no sign yet of flood for tomorrow(it always happens here, the flood i mean, specially when a big raib came and showered us with all that they can). any ways im just about to sleep. its nice to know my doctor friend's blog ste is up and running. cant post a coment tho.. :( i toss the autor a message on her friendster, maybe she'll let me comment on her blog.. :).

ciao guys. im off to bed.

yung wag mabigat saloob mo iho ah..

yesterday was the pistang bayan for the people of hagonoy, its the feast of saint anne. i wasnt able to attend church in the morning(reason i stayed too late last friday that i woke up at around 10am, theres no more mass) . its saturday and its the feast of saint anne, i just cant stay home and waste my time watching tv, my feet are itching to get out.. and so i did, btw i scored two tickets for the lifehouse concert held on that day also. its noon and the one im taking to the concert still isnt confirming if she'll come or not. i decided i go out and wait for her reply on my way.

i stopped at the church of saint anne to give my thanks and prayers. on my way inside the church there are lots of vendors, they sell all sorts of things, from plants to utensils, abubot and crafts. before i got inside the church this old lady approached me and gave me a small rosary and a necklace of the Vrgin Mary, she said its was for free(walang bayad). she was smilling when she gave them to me and saying walang bayad. since wala nmn daw bayad i accepted what shes trying to give me, but once i recieved them she quickly says "ulong lng atong, minsan lng nmn mag fiesta si sta.Ana db?" i cant help but just scratch my head. so i put my hand in my pocket to reach for my coin purse,before i gave her money she gently touched my chest and said "ung maluwag lng sa loob mo iho ah". i took 10pesos(its the actual price of those items, i know since i already have those) and hand it to the old lady, then she said "trenta pesos iho". in my mind i was shouting "NO EFFING WAY!!!" but i was in the entrance of the church, and i could spare some so i just let it go.(tanga talaga ko pagdating s ganito, uto uto eh).

giving the 30pesos doesnt make me angry at the old lady but it just ticks e off when she openly said to me na walang bayad then asking me for help na maluwag sakin pero with a certain amout. asar. kung sobre n lng binigay nya sakin e di sana d n nya kailangan magpatumpiktumpik pa. hence fort i bow i will no longger accept freebies from old ladies in front of the church.(ill choose siguro.. :) cant just say no to those in need pero they shouldnt use religious items as their medium)


btw i went to araneta then sold my ticket to a scalper then went back home.. nawala n ko s mood since d rin nmn punta ung kasama ko.

the bat

yep, ive watched the long awaited batman film. indeed the movie was far greater than all the other batman films. pity heath wouldnt be able to see his character go to stardom. his character(joker) was portrayed in a most sophisticated brilliant con artist who doesnt do crimes just for the money but for the love of it. nicely done i should say. theres also the addion of harvey dent(two face) who has a shortlived career as a villain in the movie, ironically its two its heath who died(spoiler ahead) yet in the movie its two face who died. it would have been nice to have him act for the comming films, but sadly thats just life is.
all in all, the 2 and a half hour in the movie huas will surey be a blast even if your a batman fan or not. its a great movie. watch it, if you dont have someone to watch with, hey just leave me a message im free.. haha.. ill skip office again.. :D

instead of the kit.. internet kahit saan..

as requested by Dr.Robles, heres some instruction you could use to connect to the internet using your GPRS/3G capable fone(this one is mostly for nokia fone, d ko p makita config para s ibang brands eh). this is a lot cheaper than the kit cause you dont dont neet to buy the kit and no subscription meaning the monthly payment, as loang as you have load pede k maka connect s net.. :) hope this helps..


For Nokia cellphone users, madali lang naman mag-connect. All you need is NOKIA PC SUITE installed on your PC, your cellphone, the data cable or bluetooth dongle sa PC din, and siyempre your sim card na maraming load!

Kung installed na properly ang PC suite sa PC mo, connect mo na yung cellphone using your data cable or bluetooth. Mas advisable ang data cable kasi mas mabilis ang data transfer.

Pag connected na, open PC Suite, and execute/run mo yung CONNECT TO THE INTERNET. Bubukas yung ONE TOUCH ACCESS na application.

First, click on SETTINGS. Dun sa select modem, locate mo yung cellphone mo, then click NEXT. Sa select your network operator from the list, hanapin mo yung GLOBE PHILIPPINES or SMART PHILIPPINES then click FINISH. Then OK na yan. Magko-connect na yan.

Ako, successful din ang connection using SMART sim. Pero sa GLOBE, laging hindi OK.

Regarding GPRS or 3G, basta yung unit mo eh 3G ready na at may 3G signal sa lugar mo, then automatic na 3G na ang gagamitin niya, otherwise, GPRS speed lang ang makukuha mo.
Dun sa mga gustong mai-connect yung PC sa internet using cellphone, I advise you use SMART na lang. Kasi nga mas cheaper ang offer unlike Globe na ang hirap hirap na nga kumonek, eh ang mahal pa ng singil.
Saka mas makakamura ka nga naman kesa gumamit ka pa ng dialups thru internet prepaid cards.
Lumalabas, para ka lang nagre-rent ng internet sa cafe. PhP20 for 1 hour, PhP10 for 30mins


additional info:

you get settings from SMART talaga...para ma fit sa unit mo...

type SET 3G and send to 211

example: SET 3G n70
send to 211.

2.50 per send.

globe - text GO (phone model) and send to 2365
smart - text SET 3G (phone model) and send to 211

after the settings have been sent to your fone follow the instructions (code 1234, save)

yung APN na dapat gamitin is kung ano ang APN na available sa networkmo..

personality test

i tried the color quiz from "DR. Ade Robles'" post. yah im beat up stressed.
i took the quiz a couple of times and ofcourse i always change my answers, and everytime i finshed i got more stressed results. yah i think its fairly accurate but it made me wonder, maybe all who will take that quiz will have stressed results. it made me wonder if by chance will there be a person who would have results saying theyre not stressed? i just thought that there might not be.. :D

anyway heres the results from my exam.

Your Existing Situation
Non-realization of hopes and the inability to decide on necessary remedial action has resulted in considerable stress.

Your Stress Sources
Wishes to be independent, unhampered, and free from any limitation or restriction, other than those which he imposes of himself or by his own choice and decision (galing nmn!)

Your Restrained Characteristics
Believes that he is not receiving his share--that he is neither properly understood nor adequately appreciated. Feels that he is being compelled to conform, and close relationships leave him without any sense of emotional involvement.
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Sensitive and sentimental, but conceals this from all except those very close to him. (may issues yata talaga ko bout this)

Your Desired Objective
Has a powerful drive towards sensuousness

Your Actual Problem
Seeks security and a position in which he will no longer be troubled by demands being made on him (i want to be the boss! haha)

Click here to try the quiz for your selves :D

animals in the office

in the office sometimes things get rough and sometimes boring.
i had my shares of both. sometimes we go to a point like our boss' are squeezing us too much just to meet the deadlines that you'd wanna quit, yet sometimes its the opposite.. :Dduring the hell periods we gotta keep calm just so ideas keep on pourin or els your head is on the chopping block, on the latter part(slack period) people just do what ever is relaxing to their demise.

i for one did a couple of sketches of my officemates, i try to draw what they represent in my mind(whos wondering all the time haha). where here are some of them, i make use of the available drawing materials in the office.(paint!)

the first one i did were my female ofcmates, i did chinky the elephant coz she's kinda nosey and yep she's a little big, then donna as the hippo, shes the wacky loudmouth of the group, i drew an aligator for haide and a lizard for joan coz when i was making my sketches they were having their faces peelings.. haha. i did a bamboo for amor coz shes a little thin and when i did that shw went beserk! yep she was mad and asked to have here redraw as a tiger, she said she'll eat all the others for voting bamboo as her avatar.

next i drew the guys ot on a swimming. yep amor is no longger the bamboo, shes the tiger out for revenge.. :D oh and i added a giraffe, its roseanne she's a tall girl.

on this one you could see theyre having b-b-q and the elepant is the main course. since chinky was sort of irritating me for a few days i told her id cook her, she didnt believed me so here it is.

there theres a new addition to the cast, you could see a cat, its raine, i cant think of any animal suited for her(actually i can imagine the how to draw it but i think she supposed to be a pelican, i just cant imagine how to draw it coz all the other animals i drew on the spot with no models)

since the elephant is dead(the fellas ate her) i did a funeral to whats left of her(sama ko talaga kahit s drawing ko may binubully ako ah).

btw im not a bully talaga ah.. ^_^

heres the last i did. haide and chinky had to leave the company since their contracts with the company were not renewed. i made them look like "makapili"solidiers pointing whos next in the chopping block.
i havent been making any new sketches for a while, all these were made during my peticks months.. haha.. d ako ngtatrabaho nagpapanggap lang s office.. ^_^
lately mejo busy kaya hindi p nasusundan pero once i get in the mood again at pag may time gawa ulit ako.. haha..

morning show

Today I woke up early since its Monday, besides even If I don’t want to, I have no choice its either I get up and be ready to go to work or not at all.
Yes its high tide again and sure as a whistle by the time I woke up at around 5:30 the water level outside the house is already about a foot high.
I felt panghihinayang s oras n dapat sana tulog p ko pero I had to wake up, 930 p nmn kc pasok ko. I went out together with my older brother, hated n daw ksi kami ni tatay going bayan(bayan ng hagonoy hindi ng malolos) because of the flood. Anyway we did pass houses flooded knee high with water, as we go along the way i cant help but think howd tatay could go back home, for sure he’ll push the tryk back since the water could be higher by then. Anyway we arrived at bayan a little early, I said my goodbyes with tatay and my kuya whos off to BSU as one of the young instructors there. A few moment go by and I got to ride at an aircon baliwag bus. (I just slept along the way)

When I arrived at the MRT station(north ave) it the same busy and crowded place jammed pack as always. As I struggle my way to the stairs just minding my way to push through the crowd, before I reach the stairs theres this guy whos looking left and right and wont budge and looking mighty angry, I thought its because of the siksikan, but sooner I knew that someone had picked his pocket and took his wallet. He was abaout to punch a guy when he suddenly kneeled down to pick something it was his wallet relieved that he got his wallet back he said “pota, nakuha ko pa! namumukaan kita!”. when we reached the inspection counter the lady guards said “Anu yan?!” thinking that the victime is the culprit, the guy had to explain himself to the guards. Then the guards gave out a warning “ma/am/ sir mag-igant po tau s mga gamit naitn”.
As I walked along I cant help but think bout the just who nearly lost his phone and cash inside his pouch(wallet), if it had been me what would I do? I mean the mighth have had all his valuables inside his pouch. I even remembered an office mate who had his phone picked pocketed inside the train while playing mp3s on it, the only thing is he had the state of mind to press the signal driver button which stopped the train in mid stations, kinapkapan nya yung mga tao s train but sadly his efforts was futile.
As their train stopped at the next station a lady went out, my officemate had his suspicions and quickly grabbed the lady, sure enough he saw his phone. The guard told him that if his suspicion was wrong he’d be reported for sexual harassment, luckily his hunch didn’t failed him. Even I had my phone taken from the mrt, in a situation n super siksikan n all I can think of is trying to hold at the handle bars, while some guy had his eyes on my phone and maybe in the midst of the situation he took the advantage. I only noticed my phone was gone when I got out of the train(tanga tanga kc), ive got no one to blame but me. I just told myself “mas kailangan nya yun. alerto n lng next time.”

Is this the result of poverty? Have we become so barbarous that we care not of others but ourselves?
I may not know how the others have been, I may not be able to hear their cries but im willing to listen(well not always but to the best of my capabilities I am).
I wanted to blame some one for all ruckuses that lead to such incidents. Can I blame the culprits? But howd they end up doing that may lead back to someone else.truly life here just gets more rougher everyday. They hell with gma saying umuunlad tau. LIES!!! I even see adds with the words “Pilipinas kong mahal” with a flag background, the first thing that came to my mind was PILIPINAS KONG MAHAL ANG BILIHIN! No wonder people migrate to other places. This country sucks! Even the people that used to be sweetest of its kind is evolving to its harsh environment. Sooner or later we’d all be making choices wed regret for the rest of our lives just to cope up with the times.

Eto ang weird part.. yah I may judge this place a hell on earth pero ironically speaking there is indeed no place like home. I may hate some of the peeps here for their actions, but I still believe in us. As long as there are people willing to change for the best we mustn’t drag their hopes down. Might as well strive on our own that maybe we could make a difference(parang narerelate to in a way dun s post ni DR.Robles ah J). I guess one guy striving for the best is certainly better than none at all.

looking forward

i just arrived from church today.. i attended the 5:00pm mass. while i was changin to my pambahay clothes i turned on the TV and it was on ch11, the show is "nag pinaka", luckily it showed the top 5 batman characters to await in the comming movie(the dark knight). me as a batman fan just waited eagerly as one by one they unmasked the characters.. they had lucius fox, harvey dent(two face), leading lady(used to be katie holmes),joker, and of course batman.
well this log is not bout the characters but about the full length trailler that they aired after the countdown. phew.. just seing the trailer made me want to watch the movie more.. it looks far better than what i imagined, oh and i think that ledger guy did justice for the joker. harvey dent(two face) is a bonus in the movie.. i just wish they assemble a batman movie with clayface or a combination of his villains, that ould be nice.. anyways looking forward to the movie.

btw my week end was a little hetic fun and boring at the same time.. :D
ill log it later.

bagong tasa!

ah, monday.. i came to work feeling the wind on my head(i finally had my hair cut semi, didnt won a wager tho). while i was waiting for a try outside our house, my neighbors kept on lookinbg at me since the last time i had this hair style was 5 years back. anybody who knew me would surely be surprised, as for me i just gave them a smile.

on the bus i met my high school buddy, we just talked a bit bout some of our classmates and how are they doing now. then halfway going to malolos i got a pretty comfty nap(the bus was spanking new btw). little did i know that when we got to malolos the bus was in standing for those who are in a hurry to get to the office. when i woke up there were these 2 lovely maidens in beside me, i wanted to let one of them take my sit but since they were both gorgeous i couldnt decide who to give it, then good thing an old lady got in, i gave her my sit, one of the two lovely ladies gave me a frown while the other smiled.(im thankful i didnt have to choose, hirap eh).

when i got to the office i wore a cap(just to hide my hair, or whats left of it). i climb up to the 22nd floor via the elevator of course. when i got to my cubicle my seatmate said "parang may bago sau ah". i just deny what she said. few more of my teamates came, some even took a pic. looks like they knew even before i took of my cap. they all said to me "basted k noh?".. haha.. "i wished" sabi ko, (d ko p kc nasubukan manligaw, i had girl friends with out having to court a girl)
a few moments later "MASTER" (code for my boss) arrived and we all went back to our daily lives of pagpapanggap. btw a the peeps behide me are not a part of our team so i dont know any of them,(kakalipat ko lng din kc floor) some smiles at me often but i havent got the chance to know any of them pa. anyways lookin forward to befriend them and for my hair to grow back.. haha.

im finished!...now keep it!

this week including the two weeks before, i had a hard time fixing my schedule of activities both in the office and my social life. back in the office the gave me tons and tons of tasks that i have to finish with their deadlines moments from each other.. i tend to comply with the timelines which my bosses gave me. i called the first week hell week since its the most difficult week, there i had dead lines each day, but alas my boss' futile attempt to weaken my resolve didnt work on me, i finished all tasks on time(yabang), i have only one more task left which has the longest timeline and the most difficult of all the tasks given to me.

days came by and i still cant get a hold of what or how to finish the said task, i even had to go to office during a terrible thypoon(FRANK) just to catch up on lost time and to make it to my timelines. of course FRANK is angry during that time but when my boss gets angry i think it would make FRANK seem happy :)

after three mind bending weeks i finshed the task given to me. i submitted all the documentations and files to my TeamLead. then 2 days after, my TeamLead had a corporate meeting with the PLDT peeps regarding the status and updates bout the project which we did.
after about 4 hours in the conference room, my TeamLead came out hiding her face from me, i ask her why? the she replied "tama lahat ng ginawa natin pero may sinusubukan sila n gawin".
she then ask me to test somthing from our project.. it came out as she freared it to be.. she then had a meeting with our supervisor. after that she came to me and told me that our project will be put on hold for the mean time until the guys from upstairs can make up their minds.
i didnt said anything, i just gave them a smile(a little sarcastic tho..)

it just didnt felt right, they gave me a task and i comply with all their request yet sadly the guys from upstairs have some effing issues they have to dealt with. who am i to complain to them? i just a consultant for crying out loud. yeah i may have completed the project but now its time to keep it.. dang that sucks!

batbuzz

back at the comforts of the appartment again..

i cant post from the office since its blocked by the admin so i wrote down and emailed to mayself

what i was thinkin this morning.. heres the sum of it.. :)

Its Monday and im back in the office..
Surprisingly I wasn’t late today cause almost half of the peeps in my office sched(kasabay ng pasok ko 9:30am) are late.. they all walked from buendia station(mrt) towards ayala to our office. The freakin people from the MMDA make some kind of a rule that doesn’t allow the busses and fx’s to pass trough the same rout as usual. Good thing I know a couple of ways to get here.. haha..

Anyways, on my way to the office(from bulacan to ayala) I saw billboards of the caped crusader. Ive been a fan of batman ever since I saw that nifty mask of his. Id choose him over the guy in blue with the red underwear(superman) any day of the week.. the dark knight movie is nearly out cant wait to see it.. the kid in me is as exited as he awaits the next one to come.. but of course the dark knight should satisfy the craving that I have for another batman movie.. just when people thought batman movies were a thing of the past, they come out with the beginning..

now the have the new joker, but sadly its the last movie for him(ledger). atleast he made justice to the character(i hope!).. i just hope they don’t run out of ideas.

I wonder who ill take to watch it?..
Icep.. icep.. haha..

to be or not to be?

this past 2 days(sat-sun) ive been thinkin if i should go and have my hair cut, yah its not much but im thinking semikal(semi kalbo), my hair as of now is ok but im thinking doin something new. ive had a semikal haircut before, but the last was back in college, in my second year. its when sakuragi(from slam dunk anime) had his hair same as mine. btw i wasnt idolizing sakuragi or anything, it was just a barada dare that i applaud during my college years..

anyway, back to my hair again, late last night(saturday) ive decided to have the harcut done, but when i woke up in the morning its freakin BAHA! high tide hits our small barangay once again, our house is ok but there aint any tryks, so i just stayed home and do alitle browsing on the net.. i even had the spoiler of the "pakyaw" fight even before the fight started on GMA 7. :D

i havent gone to church in the morning so i went in the afternoon. while i was on my way i was thinkin abaout the semikal look. i was already imaginin the look on my officemates' eyes when they see me.. haha good thing im the only one with that haircut in the office if ever..
after church i decided to go to the salon for m haircut but when i got there i saw a couple of gays staring at me, i think there were around 7 of them all doin chitchats with the fellows in the salon.
i have nothing againts gays im just a little uncomftable with their sinester look on me.. i felt like i was going to a den of hungry lions, then again the smart prey that i am, i decided to just go gala n lng and have my haircut around wednesday or the next weekend.. i guess i hevent decided on the semikal look just yet.. haha.. gulo ko! who knows baka buka m tripan ko n.. hehe.. makikipag dare ako sa office and have a wager bout the haircut.. :)

tidbits of the week

ahh.. saturday.. long have i waited for a rest day.. :)
the week wasnt too fuzzy and difficult as last week since it was hell week.
these few days i think i spent about
40% of my office hours doing my tasks
around 25% brainstorming and pangungulit s katabi ko kung panugagawin s tasks n binibigay n bago skin
and 35% scheming for a gimick with my former oficemates from a diffrent company :)

after all that scheming and planing we ended up at giligans market-market.. it turn out as a despedida for Oliver(my former oficemate now leaving for singapore today).
we called the gimick "ang drawing n walang kulay".. why the title? its because we always have plans for a gimick then suddenly the plan stays as a plan with no execution.. "drawing n nmn".. :)
this time for once is diffrent since i'd be the last that we'll see a friend for the next two years ofcourse! :)



oh by the way, i have been sleepin sounly this past nights except for the one where i dreamt of ade..(yaikz!) no offence tho.. its kind scarry when i was in the dream, but now its so funny! haha..

what a wierd dream.

I had the weirdest dream last night..

I dreamt that I went to a village school where a dental mission was being held., I was wearin office attire(the usual that I wear).

In my dream I went straight to a room where a couple of people were having lunch..

I kinda asked a secretary of some sort who I could talk to to avail to have my teeth cleaned then he led me to another room,

To my surprise I saw ade there and her mom(as my subconscious mind would think of her) who leads the mission..

(still wonderin how you got in my dream haha.)

I talked to the dental mission head(ade’s mom) and asked my teeth cleaned, she replied “smile.. open your mouth..”

She then paused for a moment(I don’t know what shes thinkin) the she said, “it would take about 30-45mins for the activity, are you willing to endure the time? You look like your headed for office..”

I didn’t reply yet I quickly sat on the patients chair and open my mouth.. (I see ade with a wicked grin on her face btw).

Then her mom put on the gloves and started on my request.. after a while her mom stopped.(I dunno why).

Moments later I saw ade commint close to me with a drill or something(basta meron p din ciang wicked grin).

Then it came to me that her mom was kindof giving ade actual practice in the village that I stumbled upon.. then I wondered what do dent students do for their thesis?

I closed my eyes and feared the worst.. then I felt a twitch in my mouth, like a normal reflexes my foot released a light kick..

in my dream it was light but in reality I hit the side of my bed and awaken still shaken by thoughts of ade trying her thesis on me like a testrat.. T_T

no offense meant po ade..

its all a dream.. scarry one for me.. up till now I can still remember that wicked grin..


thanks to all the cast of this dream.

how you got in my dream? i dunno either.. :P peace!

from the start to end
since the start of my college year time just kept on passing me by and by, no wonder i got only a few friends and qoutabl knoledge, hmm i guess it was a bit of my fault for doin so. yes i pass my subjects but i pass them with out even aspiring for a higher mark, i gues i just wanted to pass them, so my knoledge of things got a littl blurred loosing most of my time to lousy game knowing i could pass my subjects..................


its all true.. whats written in it still signifies me back in the days..
even though i didnt had a hard time looking for a job, but finding the right job for what youve learned is the hard part.. my advice to anyone in school at the moment is dont waste your time doing gimicks.. study and be more in the future..

When You FALL IN LOVE
(Debunking the Myths That Are Driving You Crazy) By: Bo Sanchez
This article isn't for teenagers only. Falling in love happens to the young and the not-so-young. (Did you see 42-year-old Tom Cruise jump up and down Oprah's couch because of Katie?) It happens to everyone. Fat, thin, tall, short, intelligent, uneducated, holy, not so holy, dark, white, yellow, green... it doesn't really matter. All of us fall in love. And we get stuck in myths that drive us absolutely crazy. My goal is to debunk these myths and convince you not to believe in them. Let's begin...

MYTH 1: LOVE WILL CONQUER ALL
Let me qualify.This is such a tricky myth. Because love ----- as defined by the Bible ------ will conquer all.
But love ------ as defined by glazed-eyed lovers ------ will not.

If you believe in this myth, you might do the following:

You overlook major obstacles in your relationship.
Everyone you know is wondering why you chose that creature from outer space as your boyfriend. Your bestfriends are telling you to get rid of him. Your family is telling you to throw him out of a running vehicle. Aling Rosa of the sari-sari store across the street is telling you to lace his drink with poison. But you won't - because you're in love. That's why there are songs entitled, "you and me against the world" Your bestbuds comment, ''but he's been jobless for the past three years!" And you say, "He's free-spirited. He feels boxed in when he's in the office.” (in other words, he's undisciplined, lazy bum.) Your officemates say, 'He flirts with other women constantly!' and you say, 'No, he's just friendly.' (in other words, he's a pervert) Your cousins say, 'He's taking drugs, He's got needle marks all over his arm.’ And you say, 'No, he's into cross stitching.'

You overstay in toxic relationships, believing that your love will change him.
The wedding doesn't transform anyone. Even if three Popes officiate the wedding. The person you'll march with into the church will be the same person you'll march with out of the church. He doesn't change one bit. In fact, the marriage makes the hidden more obvious. If he was selfish before he got married, he will be even more selfish after the wedding. If he was hypercritical before he got married, he'll even be more vile and prolific with his criticisms after wedding. Here's the truth : You need more than feelings of love to make a relationship work. You need mature character, total commitment and a minimum level of compatibility. Especially compatibility in the area of values and mission in life. I hear people say, 'We're compatible. Our names begin with the same letter J. My name is Julie and his name is Julio. We're both born in July." Wow. That's so deep, I want to cry.

MYTH 2: WHEN IT’S TRUE LOVE, YOU WILL KNOW THE MOMENT YOU MEET THE OTHER PERSON
I'm sure you've had this experience before. You are in a crowded room. You're surrounded by boring, noisy chatter when, suddenly, this gorgeous guy enters the door. Your eyes meet. Instantly, time stands still. The universe grinds to a halt. Except for this attractive man in front of you, everything in your vision becomes a giant blur. The hubbub of the crowd becomes a soft muffle and, from out of nowhere, you here gentle violin music from the background. One week later, he's your boyfriend. A few weeks later, you discover that your boyfriend's a pathological liar, buried in credit card debt, borrows money from all his girlfriends (you're his eight in six months). Your mind says, 'Dump him' Your heart says, 'But it was love at first sight!' Here are the consequences ...

You become so focused on the magical first moment, you become blind to the dark side of the relationship.
Six out of seven days, you're fighting with your boyfriend.
But you can't give him up because you met each other in such a magical moment. Your car keys fell and he picked it up, and then your eyes met, you smelled his deodorant, and you dropped your keys again ...How can you not be meant for each other?
You become a love-at-first-sight junkie that you could miss out on the 'real thing'. One intelligent woman told me, 'Bo, there's this guy who's courting me. He's okay. He's kind, he's responsible, he has a good job...' "I could hear a 'but' coming," I said. “But there are no sparks!" she bit her lip. "No violin music playing in the background, huh?" "None. When I see him, the background music I hear is lululalu-lalulalulalei..." "Listen. You don't need a magical first moment to meet our potential husband. The important things are mature character, financial responsibility, ability for commitment, compatible mission and values..." I actually met this girl again on her wedding, and before she marched down the aisle, she whispered to me, "Do you hear the violin music, Bo? It's loud and clear."
It doesn't have to be love at first sight. In fact, marriages with the least adjustments are those between friends who've known each other for years before they realize that they're good marriage material. What is love at first sight? Many times, it's lust at first sight. Or infatuation at first sight. Don't give it too much weight. Here's the truth: it takes a moment to experience infatuation but true love takes a lifetime.

MYTH 3: IF IT IS TRUE LOVE, YOU WILL FEEL THIS WAY FOR EACH OTHER FOREVER
No, you won't. Here are the consequences for believing this myth:
You panic when the feelings wane, and wonder whether the marriage is over and whether you really loved one another in the first place. Imagine the night of your honeymoon. Your new bride is sleeping. The cotton curtains are gently swaying in the cool breeze. You gaze at her lovely face. You study her soft cheeks. Her long eyelashes. Her beautiful nose, her parted red lips. And all of a sudden, she snores. "Ngggggggooork" How do you react? Because it's your honeymoon, you say, 'How cute.' Six months down the road, the same scene transpires. Your wife is sleeping. And the same cotton curtains are gently swaying in the cool breeze. And you hear her snore. "Ngggggoork." What do you say? "Ssssssheeeesh, Honey! You sound like a boat!' What has happened? The feelings have gone. Let me say this: 'That's normal. It happens to everyone. But it doesn't mean your love is gone so don't panic! You can make a decision to love the snoring boat.
You start blaming your partner for the loss of love.This is nutty. But many people do it: when we don't feel in love, we think it's the fault of the other person. And so we fight him. Again, we fall out of love because we're human beings. It's nobody's fault. The moment you fall out of love, the real work begins. Let me explain. This is the most important point I'm going to make. (I got this from Scott Peck in his bestseller book, The Road Less traveled)
Falling in love isn't love Here's why. When you fall in love...a. No decision is required. Falling in love just happens. b. No effort is required. Falling in love is like... Well, falling. c. No hard work is required. Falling in love is being bitten by the love bug.
On the other hand, true love requires all three: Decision, effort and lots of hard work. In the Bible, love is a command. You make it happen. Sure true love can only happen after you've fallen out of love. When you begin choosing to love, even if you don't feel like doing it ---- that's true love. And that's the foundation of a lasting marriage.

MYTH 4: YOUR PARTNER WILL FULFILL YOU COMPLETELY
Again because falling in love satisfied you completely ----- you want the same satisfaction to last. No, it won't. Consequence? You might fail to recognize a good relationship because your partner isn't fulfilling the needs you should be fulfilling yourself. Here's the truth: the right partner will fulfill many of your needs but not all of them. There are just some things your husband can't give you: Your self-worth. Your spirituality. Your inner happiness. These are things you have to work on your own. I've met lots of people who think they're dissatisfied with their marriage. In reality, they're dissatisfied with themselves. I've met lots of people who think they're bored with their marriages. And they complain to the high heavens how boring their husband or wife is ---- when in truth, they're really bored with life. Meet your own needs. Find your happiness in God. Find your niche, your calling, your destiny. And then share your joy with your spouse.

MYTH 5: IF IT'S TRUE LOVE, YOU WON'T BE ATTRACTED TO ANYONE ELSE
If you believe in this myth, you panic when you get attracted to someone else, questioning the authenticity of your love for your spouse. One man told me, 'Bo, I love my wife. Or I thought I did. But then I met this woman at work. She has nice make-up. She smells nice. She wears a pencil-cut skirt. When I go home, my wife is wearing a drab rag. Her hair is undone. She smells of vinegar. Gosh I am attracted to this girl at work." Being attracted to someone is normal ----- even if you have a happy marriage. But being attracted doesn't mean falling into adultery. Every time you think of the other woman, discipline your heart and say, 'Home, boy, Home!' and escort your heart back to your wife. Because if you feed your attraction with fantasies and constantly think about the other woman, it grows. But if you starve your attraction, it dies a natural death
