Goodbye..

While I’m still good at it. I will NOT wait for the time you approach me and say I’m not performing at my level. That’s not my fault, you’re not realizing my full potential. I’m not bragging or anything, just saying the truth.

Back….

After more than 1 year of inactivity, I’m back to this blog again! I just realized may blog pala ako. Wahehe! Possible reasons why I’m posting now:
   1. Bad trip - because I’m alone in the office on a Saturday!
   2. Doing OT work - no choice since I’m the designated support for Code migrations.
   3. Practicing my written English (if there is any! Hehe)

Now what’s new since the last time I posted:
   1. Got promoted. Not much of an achievement given the laughable salary increase.
   2. Have my own business now. Financed a Printing studio and had Farah manage it.
   3. Have my own lot. House na lang kulang.

Tracking time

And now we’re back at this again. I certainly don’t like it but who am I to oppose a manager anyway? Since I’m too lazy to track my hours in an excel file, I’ve decided to use any tool available on the web to track my hours, and I found Slimtimer. It’s not finished yet, a lot of features still need to be added, but it does its job.

You need it anyway..

Farah and I went to the mall to buy her a pair of eyeglasses since she’s having difficulty reading the signs, especially when she’s driving.  I asked her to take a look around and she found this Burberry worth 6K. I thought that was her final choice but then she saw this Christian Dior worth 12K. Damn! Too expensive! Knowing that she won’t wear the eyeglass for long if she knew it was cheap or something that she didn’t work hard for, I agreed and I bought it.  A part of me was sad that I won’t be able to buy the pair of eyeglasses that I liked but hey! I don’t need it as much as she needs it now anyway.  Sacrifices…

Syncmaster

After almost two months of inactivity, my computer is up and running again! Ermat forced herself to buy an LCD monitor because she has to make exams and grade sheets. And although she’s the one who bought it, I’m going to pay her the full cost of the monitor.  I think she forgot we are 50/50 in this. The good thing though is that I can pay it for 12 months. I’m going to use this monitor for all it’s worth… what can I start doing? Hmm…

1. Register for a Perfect World account and start leveling up my character.
2. Study Java AppServer and creating Web Apps.
3. Download anime/manga that I missed these past two months.
4. Look for a rewarding job (maybe in the next 6 months).
5. Chat, chat and chat. I’ve really missed YM.

What else .. my eyes are aching.  I need to buy a filter for this or else I’m going to get blind.

These guys are amazing.

I just love you guys.. you are giving me work on days that I plan to be on leave. And I’ve told you already to reserve those dates, a month in advance!! You know, if I was the client, I would be impressed.

Funny that I post most of the time when I have something to rant.

The Orlando Drama

Can this be a sequel of my dying hope?
Chasing down a never ending make-believe
But you’re a perfect match of consistency

Will you come back in a heartbeat?
Don’t be confused of what a great thing we could be
We’ll take a walk on the same street
Can you tell me how Orlando is like without me?

Your image is stamped beneath the insides of my heart
Now you’re gone I don’t know where to start
The evidence is showing like a stable apprehension
But you’re the only one who’s apt for this affection

Will you come back in a heartbeat?
Don’t be confused of what a great thing we could be
We’ll take a walk on the same street
Can you tell me how Orlando is like without me?

2 weeks and counting

Two weeks has passed since my monitor broke down. This is the longest time that I haven’t used my PC. Before, a day would never pass without me using it but now I’ve realized that there are things that I can try or do. What to do next.. hmm… guess I should enroll in driving lessons so that my saturdays get filled up.

But I still have to buy a monitor.. or else I won’t be able to buy the PSP I’ve been saving up for a long time already. Waaaa.. ang gastos! Is there really something that I can do without spending too much?

Aww. Back to work.

I had a blast with the English Training I had last week. It was a 5-day training. I got to have free meals and had the opportunity to get home early – what more can you ask for! The activities we had are those I hated the most .. but in the end I enjoyed it. I don’t know why.

I should now be:

1. More confident
2. More assertive
3. Feel good about myself.

Many thanks to Teri and Tracy. You were great!

Ok. Back to regular programming.

10 uri ng manliligaw

1. Mr. Gwapings
mayaman, gwapo, kilala, at higit sa lahat may wheels. mataas ang confidence nya na hindi sya mababasted, kaya pag nabasted.. maapektuhan ng husto ang kanyang
EGO. At teyk note, malas mo kung may sour grape attitude pa yan. pwede nyang
sabihing “sus kala mo kung sinong maganda e pinagtyatyagaan ko lang naman sya! pwe!”

2. Mr. Quickie
ang type ng manliligaw na kada magkikita kayo e wala nang alam na sabihin kundi “kelan mo ba ako sasagutin?” o kaya “i love you na, ako ba hindi mo pa lab?” kahit na isang
linggo pa lang naman syang pumoporma. kung baga dinadaan nya sa pangungulit
para mabilis ang pagsagot mo.

3. Mr. Everything
linya nya ang “sagutin mo lang ako, ibibigay ko sayo lahat, lahat ng
magustuhan mo. Kahit ang pa buwan o kaya mundo.” !@#$ ka na pag nagpauto
ka. dahil pag sinagot mo na yan, makakalimutan na nya ang linyang yan.

4. Mr. Stalker
eto yung type ng manliligaw na pag nagkahiwalay kayo e sisimulan ka
sa tanong na “kumain ka na ba?” pagkasagot mo susundan pa nya ulit ng
tanong “nsan ka ngayon?” “sinong kasama mo?” “anong ginagawa mo?” at
kung anu-ano pa. Basta tungkol sa daily activities mo kelangan malaman nya.

5. Mr. Take it or leave it
pag binasted mo ang ganitong type ng manliligaw, asahan mo bukas may
nililigawan na sya ulit. at heto pa, hinding hindi ka na nya papansinin. period.

6. Mr. Salesman
dadaanin ka sa matatamis na salita. parang si Mr. Everything din kaya lang
sya mas matindi mang-uto. yun bang tipong..”ang ganda ganda talaga ng mga
mata mo..” o kaya “ang kinis kinis mo” o kaya “ang lambot ng mga kamay mo” at
iba pang pang-uuto mapasagot ka lang.

7. Mr. Good Dog
eto ang nakakatuwang manliligaw. kase payag syang magpaalipin. taga
bitbit ng bag mo o kahit ng mga kaibigan mo. kahit magmuka syang
buntot sa tuwing may gala kayo ng mga barkada mo. nagpapakitang gilas kung
baga. pero pag sinagot mo na, for sure gaganti yan.

8. Mr. Anonymous
motto nya ang “action speaks louder than voice”. wala kang kaalam-alam,
nanliligaw na pala. kaya pala ang bait-bait sayo. e akala mo mabait lang
talaga. hehe!

9. Mr. Second chance
sya ang pinakamasugid mong manliligaw. kahit 100 tayms mong
sabihing ayaw mo sa kanya at wala na syang pag-asa ang sasabihin nya
parin “Please give me a second chance”

10. Mr. Romantiko
jologs ang mga paraan nya sa panliligaw. manghaharana,
pakikisamahan mga barkada mo, liligawan parents mo at laging may
dalang flowers and chocolates tuwing dadalaw. pero madalas nakakapagpakilig
sya ng nililigawan nya dahil sa kanyang “malinis na hangarin”. awww!
