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..
for internet APN

SUN
minternet
Smart

Globe

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!
