the reason...

the reason why i went to the embassy of the united states in manila is because i have an interview for my application of US VISA. why do i need a US VISA? ok heres the story.

Remember my Bolinao Trip? (well, actually i dont have any post yet regarding that trip, maybe when i get to the US and have a time, naman. sana.). Friday night un, and that was also my last day of night shift. so i went into the office so early coz im so excited about the trip on the following day. never did it cross my mind that there is something to happen and to change.

so when i got in the office, my TL asked me to go to the room of our Project Manager. and they roll out what is on plan. we are two of the selected people that will go to our HQ in Gaithersburg in Maryland. so we still have Saturday and Sunday to think about it. 2 days time frame to think about the offer.

so we went to Bolinao. enjoyed the place and relax. the idea of being one of the chosen people never sink in my mind. but of course, when my TL needs an answer about the offer, i need to think about it and tell myself, hey, its true, its not only an idea.

i asked permission to my ate and she agreed naman after talking with her through phone. cyempre sa kanya ko nakatira and shes responsible for me, and also i asked dra sotto about the offer, they asked some questions and I answered it and they told me to accept the offer. i was happy about it,. whos not when you have that kind of offer? but let me tell you this, last year i have a plan of resigning. It was really a plan that i will resign this year. i cant remember how many time my ate asking me to resign on my job cause on our salary and told me to accept a job in a call center wherein she has a friend and the starting salary is more than what i received from my present company, but i refused and told ate that im happy with my work and im so grateful with the people i work with. the plan was to be a seaman since ate again knows someone from a shipping line and it will not be a hassle for me to be an ordinary applicant. she know the president itself of the company, but again i said to her that i will tell her when im not happy in my work and ill pass my papers with her. but again, it never happened cause im still happy with what im doing.

so that is the reason why im going to the United of States, because where like going to attend a training there and work maybe. we are all 7 going to the HQ.

i just learned about the issue yesterday, when my batchmates in going to HQ tell me something. of course it hit me. but i never expected that that one line in my YM will create trouble and will cause me what im feeling right now.

and this is the status that i have:

"My VISA na ko. wohoo. 7 days".

is it bad? im just happy. it was never my intention to hurt other people feelings because of that. hay..

till here. ill let you posted what will happen next.

confused... why is it to be like this?

my mga taong nagsasabi na nagbago na daw ako. hindi ko alam san nanggaling ung issue na un. ung pagiging masaya ko dahil nakuha ko ung US VISA, naging way pa un para daw makatapak ako ng ibang tao. hindi ko alam kung anong iniisip nila.

Ang sa akin lang, maging "OPEN MINDED" lang sila.

Hindi ko prinisinta ang sarili ko para sumama at pumunta ng US. ayko ring magentertain ng mga idea na pumapasok sa isip ko.

Ang pinaka ayoko lang, wag mo kong husgahan kung hindi mo ko lubos na kilala.

Ayoko ung feeling na hinuhusgahan ka mula ulo hanggang paa.

Im so thankful kay Lord sa lahat ng nangyayaring ito, pero hindi ko alam na sa kabila nitong lahat ng kasiyahan na ito, my mga taong masama pala ang loob.

some of my friends tell me na you cannot please everybody. Pero ang sa akin lang. "WALA AKONG GINAWANG MASAMA".

kung my makabasa man nito sa mga officemates ko, thankful ako para sa opportunity na dumating. na isa ako dun sa mga sasama sa HQ sa maryland. pero ang gusto ko lang ipaintindi sa inyo, "HINDI KO PINILIT ang SARILI ko DITO. HINDI AKO NAGPRISINTA". maski ako ay nagulat ng sinabi sa akin ito. kung kayo ang pupunta dun, magiging masaya ako para sa inyo. walang halong sama ng loob dahil alam ko kayo yung napili.

ngayon, kung my nasagasaan dahil dun, hindi ko alam. ayokong makasakit ng tao, pero wag nyo kong pilitin na maapektuhan ng mga ganitong bagay.

sinasabi mo na hindi ako uurungan ng mga taong ito, sasabihin ko. wala akong ginawang masama. husgahan na nila ako. ikumpara nila kung anong kakayahan meron sila sa kaya ko.

ayoko rin sa lahat, ung mga plastic na tao. DOUBLE FACE sabi nga nila.

ewan ko, naapektuhan ako ng mga ganitong bagay dahil hindi ako sanay. ung team na malapit sa kin biglang lalayo dahil sa ganitong issue.

isa pa, try to practice humility. Alam ko kung pano magpakumbaba. dahil alam ko kung saan ako nanggaling. ngayon, ang tanong ko. ung mga taong humuhusga ba sakin kilala ba ko ng buong buo? para sabihin nila yang mga ganyang bagay? '

ang hinihiling ko lang, walang personalan. "TRABAHO lang".







VISA

tomorrow will be my interview for the application of US VISA. im nervous. deep inside. that is how i feel. but through the help of my Lord, i know i can do it. please pray for me also. thanks!

i need a break..


and this is what i do when i have it..

A Valentine Lunch Date

Single kami. walang karelasyon. ngunit hindi ito naging hadlang upang kami'y magsaya at ipagdiwang ang Araw ng mga Puso. i woke up that day around 9 am. after taking a bath and after i opened my cabinet, it just came to my mind to wear the Red Polo shirt on that day. I mean, its valentines day naman, so why not wear the red shirt (polo shirt) di ba?, so when i reached the office, some of my officemates are teasing me why am i wearing a red shirt daw. eh ano naman? eh sa feel kong magred that day! .. hahaha. s0 i dotn have a packed lunch on that day since a day before Cecille popped a message on the MOC that we will be having our lunch outside of the office. its will be among us, the batchmates. so ok lang. i am saving 500 for that lunch.

so, aya aya, dumarami kami. cge lang, para mas masaya, pero nandun pa rin ung mga kabatch ko, sayang lang hindi nakasama si karleen. so we went to Gerrys Grill sa my glorietta. 2nd floor kami nakapwesto. all in all, nasa 12 kami dun. isang lamesang mahaba. hhehee. we ordered, sinigang na hipon ( but accept it or not, for me nothing beats the sinigang na hipon ng max's), green mango, tinomok, sisig, inihaw na pusit and kinilaw na pusit. cyempre hindi lang isang order bawat isa. hindi naman ata magkakasya sa min un,. i had a lemonade as my drink, para pantanggal umay tska un lang namn ung bottomless. dahil ung ice tea hindi naman., i also had 2 rice, pero hindi ako tumikim ng kinilaw na pusit. ewan ko, im not into eating of kinilaw.

salamat kasi we ate all together again (for the second time, wala si karleen and wala si val - night shift). masaya pa rin kami. just like the first time taht we met each other, from our first day to our first company. masaya ung feeling na maksama mo ulit ung mga taong una mong nakilala. sa unang pagpasok mo sa una mong papasukang company. the joy that we had on that day was different. i admit it personally. masaya ako.

after eating, cyempre kinuha na namin ang bill, on 12 persons that ate on that table, we paid more than P3,000 pesos. so lumalabas na sa kin 300 talga binayaran ko. hehehe..

Sana maulit pa itong ganitong pagkakataon, malay nyo malapit na ulit. :p

Russel Isidro's Bolinao Trip

end of my career...

it almost happened! grabe! ang hirap ng project na nahawakan ko! it felt like i was dying, i mean literally speaking im gonna cry because of it. its so weird, so hard to explain.

its not the usual map that im doing, and that map i can say that it tested my capability on developing maps. when you look at it, you can say that its easy but when you started doing it, oh my god. the problem exists one by one. and when im putting my codes, a lot of ideas are coming in my mind. what if this scenario will happen. what if like that, and many more ideas are coming through that i lost focus and concentration. its so hard when you were in that situation. i did it for 6 days. it was the hardest map that i handle sicne i started my edi career. sigh.

i cant say nothing but grabe! sobrang na test ako dun. but thank God i finished it for about one week.

you know the feeling that you wanna work but there is no idea coming into your mind but you feel occupied? that you are putting codes but then there are ideas playing inside your mind?

this map is one hell map! hahahah.. i dont wanna handle 856 maps anymore. hehehe

so busy...

been busy for the past week,. went to home the next day twice. and about my Bolinao trip, i still dont have an entry.
so many papers to process and i hope to get a VISA. ill tell you in the following week why i need a VISA.

2nd to the last day of night shift.. sigh.. para na ata akong magkakasakit at bumabagsak na katawan ko. i dont know. maybe it was the badminton game that trigger what im feeling right now. my joint in arms are not in good condition, i dont know if it swell. so there it is, and it feels like i always wanna sleep. just to rest my tired body.

on saturday, the plan of going to pangasinan will push through. so better packing my things tomorrow when i got home and i still dont have any food to bring on a 3 day trip. yippee! im so excited about this trip! wahahha.. will keep you posted next week what will happen on the trip and also im on leave Monday.

and here is another thing, i dont know if i will be on night shift next week since the go live of hst didnt pushed through last week because of the problem that we experienced. sigh.

i bought a phone, a spare one. since the keypad of my p910 sometimes fail in working properly. it was just a 6610. hehhe..
