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
