Fainted

December 27, 2008

I fainted while on a call. I felt dizzy then I found myself on the floor shaking. Need to have some check up..

My sole christmas gift

December 24, 2008

Nagexchange gift na kami ng mga co-employees ko sa aking team. I've received a NOTEBOOK COOLER. It's one of my wishtlist. Gergie is my manita. Wala si TL ASH, sya yung nabunot ko. Buti na lang.. heheh

All alone this christmas

December 25, 2008

Sinalubong ko ang Christmas sa office, taking in calls. Pero may buffet naman kaya para na ring may noche buena. I really want to spend my christmas with my family because this is supposed to be the christmas na complete kami. Anyway, call of duty e. I'm just looking on the other side. Nagmalling na lang ako then I watched "Ang Tanging Ina Niyong Lahat". The movie is very funny. Nakatawa rin ako.. Hehe..

Di naman nagparamdam mga besprens ko.. yaan na natin.. di naman kailangan ng ebidensya para masabi mong naaalala ka nila.. heheh..

Converse Sale

The Converse sale of the century at the SM Trade hall is the much awaited sale event of the year. That's 40% - 80% off. Yes, makakasave ka talaga. Kaso wala akong nakitang maganda. Unlike the past years, makakabili pa ko ng TShirt and short with the price not more than 200 pesos. Ngaun, 240 pesos ata ang pinakamababa. Kaya wala ako nabiling apparel. What I bought was another backpack, worth 390 pesos. Medyo costly, pero the original price is 790 pesos, so nakasave pa rin ako. I'm looking for the same bag that I bought last year. Hiningi kasi saken ung bag na yun kaya I want a replacement for that. Unfortunately, walang available na black. Plan ko din sana bumili ng shoes, kaso ala na budget e.. Got to save.. hehe

AOL Christmas Party

December 21, 2008

This day, the AOL SMS Christmas party was concluded on Cafe Cappriccio. Good food, but I didn't eat a lot. Medyo weird ung mga food e. Pero masarap ung salad. I have fun watching the CSSes and the TLs performances. It was a good laugh.

Fever..

December 17, 2008

The day after my birthday, nagkasakit ako. After ng shift, ang sakit sakit ng ulo ko. Pagdating ko sa bahay, higa agad. I'm not feeling well that time. I got a fever, colds and headache. Nahihilo rin ako. Then, I'm hesitant if I'll go to work. In the end, I decided to report to work, medyo ok na naman e. Then pumunta ako sa clinic. Binigyan ako ng med then after 1 hour bumalik ako. Nawala na lagnat ko. Effective pala ang advil. hehehe.. kaya ngaun, since I'm now ok, balik na naman sa dating gawi. Puyatan.. hehehe

The birthday continues..

I just slept the whole day.. Supposedly ililibre ko ung mga former co-OJTs ko sa Lexmark. Kaso may mga kanya kanya silang lakad.. Kaya ayun, di natuloy.. (buti na lang.. hehe)

My family called me. Dami pala tao sa bahay.. Naghanda talaga sila.. Sana andun ako..

I remembered my last birthday.. First time kong naghanda para sa sarili ko.. Syempre sa tulong ng aking mga co-Engineers. Dami namin pagkain nun.. Tapos inuman after. Ayun.. nalasing ako.. medyo emotional ako nun.. Kahit na anjan ung mga kaibigan ko, I felt alone pa rin.. Ewan.. Siguro dala lang ng homesickness. Tapos ung taong hinihintay kong bumati saken, di nagparamdam.. heheh.. sobrang drama no.. Tapos bumaha daw luha ko.. Di ko alam na un na yung nangyare.. hehe.. kakahiya tuloy..

21st Birthday

December 16, 2008

Today is my 21st birthday. Sa office ko sinalubong birthday ko.

After the shift, kumain kami sa McDonalds, with Aldrin, Jo, Rio and Bea.. sarado pa ung DaVinci e.. Busog..

Twilight

December 7, 2008

I've watched the Twilight movie with my boardmates. Usap-usapan kasi tong movie na to so I gave it a try. Saka the main character, Robert Pattison as Edward Cullen, also played the role of Cedric Diggory sa Harry Potter and the Goble of Fire. This is a story of a vampire who fell in love with a human.. Medyo ok naman ang story.. Ang movie, medyo bitin pa rin.. Wala pa masyadong excitement, not what I expected. Pero I'm looking forward on the sequel, "New Moon". Baka maganda na movie nyan.. The best pa rin Harry Potter. Pagkatapos ng movie, eto lang nasabi ko.. "Yun lang yun??"

Here's the plot of the movie: (from wikipedia.com)

Seventeen-year-old Bella Swan moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie, after her mother remarries. She is quickly befriended by many students at her new high school, where she is intrigued by a mysterious group of siblings known as the Cullens. Bella sits next to Edward Cullen in Biology class on her first day of school, and he appears to be disgusted by her, much to Bella's confusion. A few days later, Bella is nearly hit by a van when Edward suddenly appears and stops the vehicle with his hand. Although he refuses to explain this act to Bella, Edward warns her against becoming friends with him.

Bella eventually discovers that Edward is a vampire, though he only consumes animal blood, and the pair fall in love. After Edward introduces Bella to his vampire family, Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie, three nomadic vampires—James, Victoria, and Laurent— arrive and put Bella's life in danger. James, a tracker vampire, is intrigued by Edward's protectiveness over a human, and decides to hunt her for sport. Edward and his family put their lives at risk to protect Bella, but James lures her into a trap by making her believe he is holding her mother hostage. James attacks and bites Bella, but Edward, along with the rest of the Cullen family, arrives before he can kill her. James is destroyed, and Edward sucks the venom from James's bite out of Bella's arm, preventing her from becoming a vampire herself. Upon returning to Forks, Bella and Edward attend their prom and Bella expresses her desire to become a vampire, which Edward refuses to let happen. The film ends showing Victoria at the prom watching the pair together, ready to seek revenge for the murder of James.

The Day the Earth Stood Still

December 14, 2008

Sobrang boring sa boarding house so I decided to watch the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still". I've seen the trailer somewhere and I thought this is an interesting movie to watch. Keanu Reeves, as "Klaatu" is the main character of the movie. He came to save the earth from the human race. Sabi nga nya, "if Earth die, you will die, but if you die, Earth will survive." Dr. Helen, portrayed by Jennifer Connelly, believed that we can change. Then naconvince naman nya si Klaatu. Sa ending, he sacrificed himself para madestroy ung mga ant-or-fly-like creatures na part ni Gort, ung parang robot. Hehehe..

My thoughts about the movie.. Hmm.. Medyo nagsisisi ako na pinanood ko to sa cinema. Sana bumili na lang ako ng pirated na DVD.. Nasasayangan ako sa pera ko.. E ang wala kasi masyado action.. Puro kwento lang din.. maganda naman effects pero walang excitement e.. Nakatulog nga ako e..

Here's the plot of the movie: (courtesy of wikipedia.com)

A representative of an alien race that went through drastic evolution to survive its own climate change, Klaatu (Keanu Reeves) comes to Earth to assess whether humanity can reverse the environmental damage they have inflicted on their own planet. Klaatu himself already has a negative opinion of humans, and when detained by Regina Jackson, the United States Secretary of Defense, and barred from speaking to the United Nations, he decides they shall be exterminated so the planet – with its rare ability to sustain complex life – can survive. At Klaatu's command, Gort turns into a swarm of nanites that destroy everything in its path. Dr. Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) and her stepson Jacob (Jaden Smith) finally convince Klaatu that humans can change their ways and are worth saving.^[5] Convinced by the two, Klaatu has them take him to the sphere in Central Park, warning them that even if he manages to stop Gort there will be a price to the human way of life. At the sphere, the nanobot cloud arrives before they can reach the sphere and they have to hide under a bridge. There it is revealed that Jacob has been infected by the nanites. Klaatu saves him, then sacrifices his physical form to stop Gort by walking through the nanites to the sphere and touching it. His actions cause the sphere to emit a massive EMP which fries Gort, saving humanity, but at the price of all of Earth's technology becoming useless. Afterward, the sphere leaves Earth. Jacob's last comment might hint that Klaatu did not die but rather was a part of the sphere's energy.

December 13, 2008

Saturday. Last day of our morning shift. I'll miss this shift. Queueing na sa Monday.. Hayy..

Today is Retchel's birthday, my former fellow OJT at Lexmark. Treat ni Gestoni sa KFC.. Nagpakabusog kami nina Retchel, Jofil, Gestoni and Heart sa KFC Bucket Meal.. Love the brownies.. Sayang alang picture..

Lapit na B-day ko.. It's my turn..

Celebration of the Job well Done.. then came what I feared the most

After the defense, my batchmates decided to celebrate our success in our design projects. That means we'll be graduating and they don't want this day to pass without celebration. We went straight ahead to the boarding house where we worked with our project. As expected, they will drink again. I promised myself that if we passed the defense, I'll go to church afterwards and so I did.

When I arrived, the drinking session had already begun. An hour had passed when they decided to go out and have some fun. I don't know where we're going until we arrived at the place where temptation dwells. I really don't want to go with them, and I've been to church hours ago. But they will get disappointed at me.

Inside that dark tavern, fun and enjoyment awaits us, or should I say, "them". There were dancing nocturnals that only got themselves with them. I knew then that moments later, the limelight will be focused on me again.

Then, my classmates hired the most perverted nocturnal in that tavern. What do you expect will happen? Of course, they want me to penetrate the lost worlds. But I don't want to. I don't want to lose my integrity just because of that very petty request. They say it's just for fun, and I'm a man, it's alright.. Yeah right. But not everything done by the great majority should be done by everybody. I tried to ride in at first just to deal with them, but they pushed me to the limit which I think is not right anymore. What I did is to just sit still as if nobody's around. I don't care what they would think of me. As long as I knew myself that I made the right decision. If they can't understand or they think I'm someone I'm not, well, maybe they don't really know me or they just care to have fun, at my expense. Anyway, that's not the kind of friends I wanted to have. If they only knew that. But they can't open their stiff brains to understand that not everybody are the same.. Not all the things that they do should be done by everyone around them. Then moments later, they decided to go home.

For sure, they got disappointed. I'm sure they made speculations that I'm someone they thought I am because of what I have done and how I reacted. Well, I don't care. I don't need friends who can't understand their friend.

Friendship is not just about having fun. I just want them to learn a little more about respect -- Respect to what others want and don't, because we are all different. I don't want to be somebody I'm not.

This is me..

ROBO - CART

Our main requirement for graduation was our design project. We'll apply all the concepts and lessons we have acquired in the entire Computer Engineering course. We called our design projet 'ROBO-CART'. It's like a pushcart/shopping cart that will just follow its user instead of pushing it. We used IR LEDs as the transmitter and photodiode as the receiver.

Yamz did the electronic side of the project.. Wow I'm amazed, he made this project running. Kuya Jayson did most of the work with the prototype, not to mention the budget that he provided. And I did the software part of the project, I made the program and wrote it using the Assembly Language. It's not an easy language to understand. In fact, I just used all the basic concepts. I also need to understand it by myself. Good thing, I've written the right codes although it's not perfect and there's so much to improve.

I had a hard time writing the correct code for the direction of the cart. It's hard to control the cart's direction whether it will turn right or left and when will the turn stop when it reached the maximum turning point. To make it stop, we needed to create another set of circuit that will detect if the maximum turning point was achieved and will stop the turn eventually. And it worked. Now the problem is how turn the controller back to the center. Unfornutately, I failed to write the correct code for that. Now, the fallback plan has been decided to be used. And that's the manual turning of the controller - what a pathetic move. But it worked!!!

Well it's not easy to make a running project. With limited time, limited resources and limited knowledge, we don't know what we need to make this project successful. Thanks for all those who helped us and imparted their knowledge. Thanks to TEKNICA and ADVANCED ELECTRONICS - our source of the electronic equipments that we need.

This project is not 100% working. I think, 70% of the project is working properly. We passed though. Thanks to Sir Jan!!!

Hope I'm back..

I really missed blogging.. It's been forever since I have posted again..

My schedule by the end of the January until March has been hectic that's why I haven't been able to post again and update this blog.. **NINGAS KUGON kasi e** .. And that's the last semester and the last few months of my educational life, so I had spare most of my time finishing the ROBO-CART, our design project.. Gumana naman, for the last minute..

Then there came the final defense, after finding out that we passed, we celebrated but not the way I thought it should be.. (nu kaya nangyare..)

Then the recollection.. well I felt I was renewed.. (but not for long)

GRADUATION!!! (One of the best thing that happened in my life)

Back to work.. (I missed this)

Island Escapade.. (di naman kami kumpleto)

End of Contract.. Back to Manila.. (Kaso wala pera)

Family Reunion .. (At last.. kumpleto na kami)

The bestfriends reunited.. (It broke my heart..)

Time to look for a job.. (Tambay na for almost a month e..)

Back to Cebu.. (Turning point again.. well I have no choice)

Apply to the max.. (Hirap pala maghanap ng trabaho)

Two months tambay.. (ubos ang pera)

The dream job.. (Kala ko lang pala)

The fallback job.. (La na iba e..)

First job ever.. (A challenge.. indeed..)

First sweldo.. (a Fulfillment.. )

MY JOB (feels like hell .. wanna quit na)

NEOPETS ( alive once again.. )

and My Blog.. (hope this will be for good)

Dami pala nangyare no.. Don't worry, I'll find a way to make a separate posts for each..

Hanggang dito muna.. Neopets time..

Day 20 - January 20, 2008

We went home at about 3 am. Very exhausted, I fell asleep immediately when we arrived. I woke up late.

I worked in the afternoon.

Day 20 - January 20, 2008

Viva Pit Senyor Sto. Nino!!! The highly anticipated and much awaited, Sinulog Festival will be celebrated today. I woke up at 7 am to check if the parade has begun but the street dancers were still preparing for the upcoming event. So I went back to our apartment and took forty winks. It's already 10 am when I woke up. After preparing myself, I turned on the T.V. to see what's going on the parade. I found out that my school's contingents were already in the Fuente Osmea. I hurried up so I'll catch them up. They're costumes were nice. They seem exhausted. Lols. Xp

After they passed Jones Ave., I went back at the apartment to watch their full performance in television. But the coverage was cut off due to the shows that should be premiered by 12 noon to 2:30 in the afternoon. So I went back to the street to watch again the performers. I was with Kuya and his girl. It's the first time that I celebrated Sinulog with him.

I had fun watching the different contingents perform the street dance because of their beautiful costumes and amazing choreography. There were also floats that delighted more. Celebrities were much awaited by the crowd. Lovi Poe and and Joseph Bitangcol were the first celebrities that I have seen. Followed by the GMA stars, Richard Gutierrez, Maxene Magalona, Mark Anthony Fernandez, Ehra Madrigal, and my favorite Jewel Mische. At long last! I have seen Jewel in person. I'm one of her fans. She's really beautiful.

The rain poured by mid afternoon. Yes, I'm a bit wet, but the rain won't stop me from watching. Angel Locsin, Riza Santos and Will Devaughn were there, endorsing JAG. By 4 PM, the float that I've been waiting for finally arrived - the float of my fave tv network, ABS-CBN. As expected, the PBB Celebrity 2 housemates that I've seen yesterday were there. Anne Curtis, Sam Milby, Jake Cuenca, and Cesar Montano were also there. Bodie Cruz followed them and the last that I've seen was Giselle Sanchez.

It's almost 5 pm. I'm now exhausted. I've expected that no more celebrities will come so I went back home. After resting, I went downtown and buy 2 polo shirts then went back to the apartment. Me, Kuya, Grace, Tintin and Sheena went to Beats Family KTV. As we're going there, the streets were still crowded. We had fun singing at the KTV. It's about 1 am when we went home.

Day 19 - January 19, 2008

One day more and the Sinulog Festival here in Cebu will be concluded. I'm so excited because I will be able to watch the street danced without asking for permission from somebody else and I can watch anytime I want.

Malls and shops are on sale!!! I've been to SM City Cebu. Aside from shopping, I'm anticipating for the arrival of the Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 Housemates. I'm a big fan of PBB. I've already seen the 7 evictees of Season I housemates wayback 2005.

Ethel Booba, Macoy Fundales, Yayo Aguila, Gaby dela Merced, Riza Santos, Will Devaughn, the Geisler brothers - Donnie and Baron, and the Celebrity Edition 2 Big WInner Ruben Gonzaga, were among the 16 housemates who were in the mall show. At last, I've seen them in person. I can remember when they were still inside the house. I hope I'll be a housemate too. Who knows.. hehehe..

The mall show ended at about 7:30 PM. Time to go shopping again. I'm looking for a polo shirt. I've found what I've liked but the price is not right. hehehe.. Stingy!!! lols.

Tomorrow will be the Sinulog Festival. I'm looking forward for the astonishing choreography of the street dancers, the amazing floats and of course, the celebrities who will participate the mardi gras. My school also participated the street dance.

Day 18 - January 18, 2008

Our group leader was not present in our workstation yesterday, maybe he's really disappointed with us. But before the day ended, I've found out that he's not really mad. Sorry for what I've posted the previous day. I presumed that he's mad because he already preached us before.

I've got no PTRs to fix. Good thing that my co-ojt has a movie saved in his machine. It's entitled "Battle Royale", a Japanese movie wherein a randomly selected class will be chosen to play this game, the Battle Royale, and the students will kill each other until there's one left. The movie is impressive and I'm still hooked at it. I want to watch this again. In this movie, I've realized that TRUST is really a big deal in friendships. You should trust your friends if you're really a real friend to them.

What if this happen to us? Will my friends kill me too? Me, I won't kill my friends. I'll do the same as what Shuya Nanahara did. Protect your friend until the end.
Here's the plot of the movie, courtesy of the ever resourceful wikipedia.org:

The plot of the film is fairly faithful to that of the novel, with a few key differences. The prologue is as follows:

"At the dawn of the millennium, the nation collapsed. At fifteen percent unemployment, ten million were out of work. 800,000 students boycotted school. The adults lost confidence, and fearing the youth, eventually passed the Millennium Educational Reform Act - AKA: The BR Act..."

The film centers around Shuya Nanahara (Tatsuya Fujiwara), a charismatic young boy living in Kanagawa Prefecture. After his mother abandons him and his father commits suicide, he becomes disillusioned with life. The rest of his classmates are similarly disillusioned, and have little respect for authority. Shuya's best friend, Yoshitoki "Nobu" Kuninobu (Yukihiro Kotani), attacks their teacher Kitano (Takeshi Kitano), but runs away before he can be identified. Noriko Nakagawa (Aki Maeda), a sweet, reserved young girl who happens to witness the incident, hides the knife that Nobu has just attacked Kitano with. Kitano, frustrated, resigns.

The next year, as the students are nearing the end of their compulsory education, they embark on a class trip. On the bus the entire class is gassed, kidnapped, taken to an isolated island, and fitted with metallic collars. Once there, the students are shocked to find that they are inside an abandoned school, and that Kitano (along with the government) is behind the entire operation. Kitano informs them that they have been selected as participants in Battle Royale, a game created by the Millennial Educational Reform Act (better known as the Battle Royale Act) where the students must kill each other until only one is left. One class from the country per year is selected to participate in the program. If, after three days, a winner is not declared, everyone dies by way of the explosive collars attached to each student's neck, which also prevent the students entering certain areas of the field of participation, the idea being to force students to encounter one another. (These instructions are delivered by a cute, smiling girl via a video, who behaves like a kindergarten teacher and refers to herself as their "big sister".) After killing a student, Fumiyo Fujiyoshi, for whispering, Kitano also detonates Nobu's collar, killing him. One by one, each student leaves the school, having been provided with survival packs and a random weapon.

Some students refuse to play the game. Shuya, grieving over Nobu's death, decides to take it upon himself to protect Noriko, the object of Nobu's affection. The pair eventually team up with Shogo Kawada (Taro Yamamoto), a seasoned warrior and Kobe native with an agenda (he reveals that he is out to avenge the death of his girlfriend, Keiko Onuki, who sacrificed herself for him in a previous game). Elsewhere, class president Yukie Utsumi (Eri Ishikawa) gathers up a group of girls and decides to hide in an abandoned lighthouse, while junior revolutionary Shinji Mimura (Takashi Tsukamoto) gathers his friends and plans to blow up the school (along with Kitano), thereby liberating the students.

Some students are all too willing to play the game. They include a mute boy named Kazuo Kiriyama (Masanobu Ando), who has signed up for fun and kills without remorse, and a troubled femme fatale named Mitsuko Souma (Kou Shibasaki) who has taken it upon herself to win the game, using everything she has at her disposal, especially her sexuality.

Still other students accept their fate. While some commit suicide, a student named Hiroki Sugimura (Sousuke Takaoka) decides to make the best of his final hours, and seeks out his best friend, Takako Chigusa (Chiaki Kuriyama), and the girl he loves, Kayoko Kotohiki (Takayo Mimura).

One by one, each of the students die, until only Shuya, Noriko, and Kawada are left after a final battle between the two transfer students. Kawada reveals that he knows how to disable the collars, and fakes Shuya's and Noriko's deaths. Declared the winner, Kawada treks to the school. Kitano has since declared the operation a success, and is the only one there. Kawada confronts Kitano, and is soon joined by Shuya and Noriko. Kitano is unsurprised to see that Shuya and Noriko have survived, having realised Kawada's plan. He reveals that he had hoped that Noriko would survive, as his daughter, Shiori, hates him - he sees Noriko as the daughter he never had. Not wanting to return home, he orders Shuya to kill him, which he eventually does when Kitano threatens Noriko with a gun, which is revealed as he falls to be a water pistol. Following a final conversation with Shiori, in which he tells her one must accept the consequences of hating someone, he dies.

The remaining trio escapes the island on a boat, but Kawada succumbs to his wounds and dies after teaching Shuya how to pilot the boat. As he dies, he reveals that in Shuya and Noriko he accomplished his goal of discovering why Keiko sacrificed herself for him - she, like he now, had finally found true friends and was willing to give up her life for them. Shuya and Noriko make it to land, where they become fugitives wanted for murder. Together, they go on the run.

Day 17 - January 17, 2008

Not been a good day to me.. After my duty, I went straight to our school to continue helping my colleagues in preparing the costumes and props they will used for Sunday's festival. Kuya told me that my other groupmate, Yamz, want to talk with us. It's obviously has something to do with our design project and I was right. I'm expecting he would get upset with us. Alam kong nappressure na xa kasi malapit ng magMarch. I'm also pressured namin e, pero I just don't want to get panic. Lalong wala kaming magagawa nyan. Yun, pagdating ko sa skul, sabi ni Kuya, he wants to talk with us. It seems na hindi xa bothered sa tono ng kanyang pananalita. At ako, syempre lalo akong nagworry. THis is supposedly the third time na he will scold us. We just helped a little sa props para makapunta kami sa kabilang bahay. Nauna si Kuya.. I'm just afraid na baka ipush nila ako. Kami ni Cristine ang naiwan sa skul. Tinapos na lang namin ung first set ng task na binigay sa min ni sir jan. Tapos nun, umalis na kami. While on the way, we made presumptions on what will happen when we arrive there. I took my dinner first. I'm so worried by that time. Medyo nakapagusap kami ni tin tin regarding dun. Sabi ko, "eto na naman, sermon na naman to.." OO nga, ok lang naman un, kasi xa nga ang leader namin, he has the authority. On the other hand naman, why would he got upset if almost 1 night lang namin kami wala. The other night, we were there. pero xa ang wala. Then kinabukasan, sir Jan asked a favor and tumulong kami. I bet he knew that naman. And wait, why can't he work alone if sya naman talaga ang nakakaalam ng lahat. I know it's unfair na he's working and we're not. Pero, technically, mas marami syang alam. We're helping him naman e and sinusunod naman namin ang gusto nya. Sabi nga ni tintin, mas dapat na xa ang kumilos kasi xa ang may alam. And that's why we're depending on him. Because I know myself that I'm not knowledgeable enough pagdating sa bagay na yun. ANd I'm doing my best naman na intindihin yung instructions nya. I'm just disappointed kasi, sobra din xang magdepend samin, na dapat kami ang dumedepend sa kanya. INITIATIVE, yes.. Dapat rin naman akong maginitiate, but I'm relying on his ideas. Sya kasi, ayaw nya magwork pag wala kami. E hindi naman sa lahat ng oras magkasama kami. Sinasabi nya na, "I'm just observing you guys, d ba kau threatened na malapit na march?" What do you want me to do??? Magpanic para malaman nya lang na worried na din ako. Ayoko lang sila ipressure. Anu ba to.. Ngaun pa nagkaganto..

Saka isa pa, ayokong isipin na nagkakaganito sila kasi wala akong nacontribute na cash sa kanila. OO, sila lahat ng gastos, tapos ako wala. Nakakaasar ang ganitong buhay. Kung may pera lang talaga kami e. at kung may alam lang ako, e di sana kahit wala sila, makakatrabaho ako. Eh un nga ang problema. Lacking ako sa lahat. Cash and knowledge.
Let's just close this case. I'll just put my effort to its fullest.

Day 16 - January 16, 2008

I'm not feeling well when I woke up in the morning that's why I get up late. I'm in a hurry because we have a task to do in our school. Kuya also requested me to buy apples before I go home. It was about 5 pm when I got off from my work. We need to be in school by 4 pm. We're already 1 hour late. When I arrived in the fruit stand, I bought the apple in the nearest stall I could see. I know that the apples that they sell were not good. But since I'm in a hurry, I didn't mind it. I expected that Kuya will get mad.


When I arrived at the apartment, as what I expected, he really got mad. I said that I will just replace those apples with my own money. I get also a bit mad about what he said. I didn't talk with him for the rest of the night.

I was just thinking, I'm being childish again. We got mad at each other just because of apples.

At school, we helped make the props and costumes that my schoolmates will use for the Sinulog this Sunday. Exhausting, but I enjoyed it. Me and Kuya we're not talking with each other. Cristine told me that they already bought new apples. I think he's really mad at me.

We've finished our tasks by 10 pm. I don't know what to do. We are sleeping in the same room. I gave him the 200 pesos that I've wasted for buying the apples that he don't like and I went to bed at once and sleep.

I hope we'll be the same tomorrow. I'm just regretting of how childish I've been. My apology..

Day 15 - January 15, 2008

We haven't been able to do our project because our adviser requested us to go to school in the afternoon. I said to my groupmate that we won't be able to meet him by night. But the task in the school was postponed and will be continued tomorrow. Me and Kuya went straight to our workplace. He's not there. and we became idle that night.

March is fast approaching... Can we make it?

Day 14 - January 14, 2008

At last, I woke up early. But I'm still late in my work. I bought the parts for our project that we'll be needing this night. Finally, the circuit board was etched successfully after a lot of of trials.

Day 13 - January 13, 2008

Me and Kuya went to e-mall this afternoon. He will downgrade his PSP. While waiting, I went to the Worlds of Fun and played Indiana Jones. I've won lots of tokens and lost them all when Kuya arrived to fetch me. Then we went straight to our workplace to work for our projects but we discovered flaws in our current circuit board. This should be replaced tomorrow.

Day 12 - January 12, 2008

I slept at 4 am in the morning. Fortunately, I've not been drunk. I've controlled myself not to drink a lot of liquor. I told them that I'm sleepy. I'm supposed to go to bed early but Clark and Crux were still up and I don't want to leave them awake. They might do something not good. I think they're already drunk. We woke up at 10 am. When I arrived at Kuya's apartment, I slept once again and gained the deficient hours of sleep.

Divine is not yet texting me...

Day 11 - January 11, 2008

I went home around midnight. It's raining that's why I went home late. When I arrived, my bestfriend and his girl were in the room, sleeping. I guess I would sleep on the floor again and I did. I can't barely sleep. It's very cold and I've got no blanket. When they woke up in the morning and they departed, I continued sleeping.

Lexmark.. No PTRs to fix. Today is the last day of one of my team leads, Ma'am Dess. The regulars prepared a party for her. Conversations about what she have done and contributed to the company and the co-employees as well, brought tears in her eyes. I didn't expect that she will cry because she's a jolly person and she always laugh. I hope she'll be in good terms at singapore.

Today is Crux' birthday, a good friend of mine. After duty, we went straight to the apartment where we're making our design project. My friends are still cooking and we helped them. Our teacher and old friends also attended the dinner.
I thought I'll be drunk again but I managed to control myself. I've discovered some things while we're having conversations. We slept at around 4 am.

Day 10 - January 10, 2008

My personal record of not doing the "thing-not-intended-to-be-done" is only 10 days.. And I failed to break it when I did that thing this day. It only shows that I'm still weak. But I'm still trying to break that. All I need is to be strong and have faith.

Our project is still not progressive. Time is running out so fast. We're doomed.

Day 9 - January 9,2008

Contrary to the happenings yesterday, I think that this one of the most memorable day this year. I don't know what has got into Kuya Jayson's mind. He's kind this day and he talked with me the way I wanted. Maybe he realized that I got upset with him yesterday. It's a coincidence that this day is the monthsary of our best friendship. Yes, I don't forget the day I found my bestfriends. We became bestfriends last November 9,2004.

I'm really glad that at least once, he's been good to me all night. He opened up a conversation with me while we walked in the street going to the pharmacy. We don't use to talk while walking and it's very seldom to happen. We bought his food supplements and fruits. I haven't even heard any complaints from him even we visit my cousin's boarding house nearby. On our way back, we decided to walk again. This time it's a street we've never been before but it's a shortcut to our apartment. Good thing that we're back safe.

On the other hand, I haven't heard anything from my bestfriend Divine...

Day 8 - January 8, 2008

Not been a good day for me, I guess. I woke up late. My classmate, Cristine, arrived at the apartment. As what I've expected, my best friend, Kuya Jayson, will make my day again. As long as the three of us are together, I feel like I'm an outcast. I don't know why, I just felt that there's transition of the way I was treated. Not a big deal anyway.. As what I'm always saying to myself, because we're best friends, I expect that he would be more good to me than anybody else. Perhaps, I'm used to the best friendship that me and Divine once had. We didn't even talk with each other that night. I didn't even sleep with him. It's just sometimes, I'm like a child that expects something good from his friend. And since I'm not a child anymore, I should be more open with my friends..

I'll just close this case.

Day 7 - January 7, 2008

Monday, and I'm still late again. I thought that I will change this week but I started it being a latecomer again. I need to be more responsible this time.

After duty, I went to buy some spare parts for our project. Then I went to school. As usual, there's no classes. They are busy preparing for the Sinulog, a festival here in Cebu, because our school will participate in the street dance.

At the evening, while doing our project, we drank Red Horse again. My groupmate's friend and my other classmate was there yesterday. My groupmate has some personal problem, he guess that he'll be a father now.

Drinking session again. *Sigh*. I really don't like the feeling of being drunk. I've drank a lot of beer yesterday. I'm so wasted. I don't want this to happen again but I think this will be repeated on Friday for this is the birthday of my classmate. They're planning to have a drinking session again. *sigh*

Day 6- January 6, 2008

Day 6 - January 6, 2008

The same yesterday, we spent most of the day working with our design project. Improvements have been made but we still need to fix some circuit errors.

Day 5 - January 5, 2008

Saturday, we spent half of the day working with our design project. My day was not that good. My bestfriend told me that I did something while I'm asleep. Actually I'm not asleep that time. It's a sort of little revenge. harharhar.. I just pretend to be asleep. harharhar..

Day 4 - January 4, 2008

Today is the birthday of my mother. She's still in Lebanon and hopefully, she'll be back by March before my graduation. I really miss my mom. Only 3 months left before graduation and as soon as I find a job, I'll be the one to send my brother in school so that my mother won't go back to Lebanon to work anymore. My sister with the rest of my family called her. I failed to called her. I'll just send an e-mail.

I hope we'll be complete again. It's been 5 years that we're not complete. I miss my family..

We went in the working area of our thesis. I'm still worried about what my groupmate told us yesterday. He was not there when we arrived. Me and my bestfriend just do the work even without hime. He arrived by evening and I thought he's mad. It seems that what he said yesterday should be forgotten but we should do our tasks for our design project. This is the first time this year that I drank Red Horse again. Damn, I really don't like drinking but just to pay respect with my groupmates, I accepted the offer.

Day 3 - January 3, 2008

Thursday, my duty was afternoon, yet I'm still late. There's nothing to do in my job because I have finished the tasks already. I just read the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince e-book.

After duty, I went straight ahead to my bestfriend's apartment where I now live. We were to go in our workplace of our thesis but Ate Charlyn, the cousin of Kuya Jayson invited us for a dinner. So we accepted it and we ate in the Eat-all-you-can restaurant somewhere in Mabolo, cebu City. I was so full. Afterwards, I thought we'll go in a comedy bar but we went in a bar named "Love City". That's the place I don't want to go yet. Even I'm not a minor anymore, I'm not yet ready to go to the workplace of strippers and pole dancers. I know they'll make fun of me and as what I have expected, it happenned. They rent a girl for us boys. But they want me to take the chance. I'm not good in chatting up girls especially if I don't know the person. And I screwed things up. I'm afraid even to touch the girl. I just don't like it that way. Having no girlfriend didn't provoke me to do what I think is wrong. If I do what they want me to do, I'll just put my principles and the lessons my parents taught me into waste. "Just for fun", as what they've been telling me. I'm just laughing but it doesn't mean that I really want that thing. I still respect myself. THough they find it hard to understand. Most males in this world won't do the same. It's a girl dude, that's what all boys want. Sorry but I was raised by my parents with morale. I know I'm sinful but I don't want to commit a bigger sin. I understand if they can't understand my side. I know they've somehow questioned my personality. THat doesn't really matter to me, as long as I know that I did what I think is right. I just want to do that with the girl that I'll marry, and that's not a sin anymore I guess.

Meanwhile, my groupmate in our thesis got a little disappointed because we failed to go to our workplace. I explained but I didn't tell him we went in the bar. I think he's right. We should be more serious this time because March is fast approaching and we need to finish our design project before the month ends.

Day 2 - January 2, 2008

Day2

A problem occurred with the internet connection that's why I haven't been able to update this online.

What have I done yesterday?? hmmmm..

January 2 was my first day of duty in the year 2008. As what have I included i my goals, I will observe proper working time. Yet, I was still 6 minutes late. I really find it hard waking up early because I sleep late. This is also the first time that I wear a polo shirt. I'm always wearing t-shirts and I think that I should be more formal this year.

The goals that I made came into my mind and I'm thinking if I could stick with them. Like for instance, that I'll minimize laughing and smiling. It's one hard thing to do because I love laughing. I just want to minimize it because the people around me get annoyed when I laugh. They're thinking of me as someone I'm not and their criticisms made me disappointed a bit. Hence, they're the one who are making fun out of me. Sometimes, I think that's not pleasing anymore.

We started making the transmitter part of our project. It worked, but not the way we want it to be. We need to improve it.

Day 1: Welcome Year 2008

January 1, 2008

Happy New Year!!! Here comes year 2008 and I hope the year of the Earth Rat will be a good year for me. It's my personal tradition to set goals as the year starts. Although I could not stick with those goals the whole year through, I'm making these as guidelines for me.

- Observe proper working time. (I've been late at work many times.)

- Go to church at least once a week.

- Take vitamins everyday.

- Games are for weekends only (until I graduate).

- Free time are for studying.- Read the bible as much as possible.

- Eat breakfast.

- List my daily expenses so I'll know where are my money going

- Pray always.

- Minimize laughing and smiling. (Let's be serious this year)

- I'm now a grown up. I should refrain from doing "things-not-intended-to-be-done". (I hope this time, it's for real.)

- Update my blog and ourstory everyday.

That's all for today. It's 3 am in the morning. I've got to sleep now. Happy new year!!!
