gising ulit.. tournament

2010-03-18T01:38:00.000-07:00

okay, im still awake.. mali.. nagising ulit ako after sleeping for more than an hour. why? nagutom yata ako at kumain ako ng isang apple and had one glass of coke. weird ng combination no? so i checked my mails na rin sa office laptop and ung scanning ng virus kung tapos na kasi its been three hours na ung scan time.. pero till now di pa rin tapos, ewan ko ba..

checked my facebook account.. played my E72 but then my problem sa email checking, what the heck..kainis.. basta expired na daw ung account ko and natransfer daw sa ibang tao ung phone ko.. weird nga eh.. ewan ko sa Nokia.. sa W960 ko di naman ako nagka issue nga mga ganito ganyan.. hahaha..

so ung meeting ng 7 PM tonight para sa mga kasali sa tournament, di ko na naman sisiputin.. patay na naman ako nito.. kasi what time na? 4:30 PM but then i only have more than an hour sleep eh magshishift pa ko tonight sa work ko.. di cya dapat magsuffer.. hehehe..

my mga 4 weeks pa ata before the tournament so need magpractice.. hahaha..
matutulog na ulit ako in a while, iyong phone ko bahala cya kung ayaw nya sa akin.. ahahha.. nagtampo nga ung W960 ko nung binili ko ung E72 ko.. biglang nag hang all of a sudden.. nagselos ata.. ahahha..

i'll try to sleep again.. david.edward signing off...

magulong layout

2010-03-17T21:12:00.000-07:00

pasensya na po sa aking magulong layout especially ang aking header sa taas.. medyo nagpalit na naman kasi ako ng layout dahil bored na naman actually ang lolo nyo..

nothing in this world is permanent except change.. so every now and then i want change. not only in myself but the things around me na rin.. ewan ko bakit ako ganun.. hehehe

ayan na naman, im gonna say sana na i will edit it in Saturday, as usual i know na baka hindi ko na naman matupad iyong sinabi kong iyon kasi sa Saturday manonood kami ng Hot Air balloon festival and sa gabi naman my practice ng badminton para sa tournament..

yes, sumali na naman ako sa tournament ng badminton.. di ko rin alam.. basta laro laro lang and enjoy the game.. hindi naman ako magaling, sakto lang.. ahahah..

anyways, iyon na nga.. nagtrabaho pa kasi ako OTY ibig sabihin Overtime Thank You kasi wala namang bayad iyon eh.. so pano next post ulit?

sana dalas dalasan ko na ung pagpost dito.. heheh.. nakakamiss rin naman kasi eh..

bored...

2010-03-17T16:47:00.000-07:00

im not sure kung bored na naman ako.. ewan ko.. pero need ko lang mag lie low kahit papano.. especially sa gastos.. naisip ko na naman ung tatlong beses kong pag uwi ng pinas last Feb and early March.. hindi rin naman birong halaga ng pera ung nagastos ko dun.. oo, i know in myself that I am spending a lot and that I am an impulsive buyer.

pero iyon nga, I think I'm bored na. And I dont know the reason why.. okay na rin ung ganito na medyo low energy lang.. at least I'm not thinking on what to buy next. ano kayang bagong puedeng gawin?

actually, ang dami kong post na hindi ko pa naiipopost dito.. ung mga US trip ko nga di kompleto eh.. lolz.. so pano na kaya iyon.. sabi ko I will always try, pero di ko naman magawa.. ano ba talaga kuya.. huhu..

pero sana this year makabili na ko ng lote.. kahit lote lang muna.. wala munang bahay.. hehehe
tinatamad na kong maggawa ng ticket, kasi naka ilan na rin naman ako.. and one last ticket na lang ung nasa queue ko and I think medyo mahaba cyang gawin.. interconnected to another system kasi.

so iyon na muna ngayon.. david.edward signing off.. ^_^

so now, im enjoying my vacation sa province.. im staying at my tita right now, para konti rin ang gastos.. lolz

my first day sa Manila, hmm.. marami na rin akong nagawa.. had lunch sa teriyaki boy with Jaja and watched Miss you Like Crazy movie nina John Lloyd and Bea. then dinner with my cousin and nagpa ayos na rin ako ng buhok..

the following day, had lunch with my former GXS officemates, and merienda naman my ACS teammates before.. nakaka miss itong mga taong ito..

at night, i went here na sa tita ko.. nagbus na ko pauwi dito.. so far okay naman.. and tomorrow, magbebeach kami sa Matabungkay.. sana maging masaya and enjoyable..

Sony W55

2010-02-23T14:58:00.000-08:00

my Sony W55 had problems the past days. the captured picture is not the same as the original color, it has turned into green or blue-ish color. and i think it has something to do with the lens. or i think because i left it on my table and with my room's aircon running, it might be a reason why my camera is acting that way now.

anyways, capturing moments for the past three years with my Sony W55 is worth it. I remember I bought it at Best Buy in Gaithersburg, Maryland after one week of being deployed in the US last 2007.

Yes, it is my first camera ever. And I was so excited that time. Jaja and I bought the same model and the same casing - a Kenneth Cole camera bag. And they are twins. They have the same color, the same battery, memory, and the casing bag.

Jaja's camera retired last year because of unexpected event in Thailand. And now my own camera is saying goodbye to me.

Actually, three years of experience with my Sony W55 is not bad. I used it twice on my US trip, from Los Angeles to New York, to Maryland, to Washington DC, to Virginia, to Georgia, to Florida. it was always with me whenever I have trips especially beaches - from Bohol to Subic to Batangas. And on my Asian trips like Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.

I can say that we had a lot of memories together with my Sony W55 and this post will serve as my farewell to my gadget. Yes, I will bring it to Sony Center for repair and also, I am planning to buy a new camera - still Sony.

I'll update this blog once i grabbed the newly camera and I hope before the week ends.. ^_^

one down

2010-02-21T21:08:00.000-08:00

one down.. others to go.. lolz.. okay, first thing first i already made changes to the lay out of my blog. its kinda formal i know. for a change lang.. hehehe..

i also edited the lay out that i got from the net and i can say that i am 90 percent happy with the outcome.

i owe a lot of entries here in my blog, as my life capsule is not that 100 percent complete anymore.

need to be energized again and write all those stories..

and regarding my vacation next week, yes, sad to hear again that i will be coming back in Manila in one week's time.. i know that its like every week for this month of February I am in Manila. its like i spent half of it in Manila and half of it here in my work in Malaysia.

i will be cutting my trip by one week, as I've said in my previous post, I'm gonna cancel my plane ticket going back here and check if I can get any refund as I bought the ticket on sale. I'll just buy a new ticket going back here.

So, I hope that I can write entries on my vacation in Manila. ^_^

etc etc

2010-02-21T11:11:00.000-08:00

i want to do something here in my blog like changing again the lay out but seems that myself is a lazy boy right now.. all i can do is check my mails, facebook, facebook and the Magic Sing in the house.. its already Monday and work week starts now again but my weekends???? i slept from 6 PM saturday till 12 Noon of Sunday.. started the videoke session even without food in my stomach.. adik kumanta eh.. basagan ng boses.. bwahahah...

went to Mai's house to check on her baby.. cute cute ni sophie.. parang gusto ko ng baby.. wbahahah.. san ba puede? lolz..

had our dinner sa Shogun (eat all you can japanese resto) sa my Sunway Mall.. well, okay naman cya for RM 60.

and again, in one week's time ill be in Manila again.. but i think im gonna cut my vacation one week short because ive been in manila since first week of Feb and im getting bored seriously.. how i wish ibang airport naman un di ba.. but then i see some old faces sa airport.. parang wala ng thrill.. nothing is new..

all i need to do now is bumili ng pasalubong and ipacancel ung ticket and bumili ng bago going back here from Pinas kasi mas makakamura ako..

so pano, davidedward signing off..

be in Manila again

2010-02-13T10:54:00.000-08:00

ill be in Manila again (after staying here in Malaysia for about 5 days) and the reason? makikipag libing ako sa lola ko.. she died last week. 2 days after i went back in here.

right now, still tired. ewan ko ba.. dapat nga im refreshed na because i had 7 days of vacation on the first week pero wala din.

i need to recharge after this.. iyong matutulog lang talaga... as in.. walang gala.. no tv, no laptops.. laht laht na.. hayz

be back again on Wednesday night here since i have some work to do.. and yes, from the airport diretso office ako.. goodluck sa shift ko that time.. tstsk

SmartBro

2010-02-03T00:28:00.000-08:00

i got myself a new smartbro to use while staying here in Manila. and the main reason is for me to download my office mails, basically connect to the office network. but even if i have a HSPDA connection, i cant connect to the VPN. im not sure if my connection is not yet sufficient to connect to the office network.

i dont know why is that so, basically kasi when youre connected to the internet, you just need to ping the VPN ip address to connect. eh pag minanual ping ko naman gumagana cya.. ewan.. so i think i need to do a lot of reading on my mails pag nadownload ko cya.. hayz..

so now, here lang muna ko sa house.. pahinga.. later ulit ung dinner.. and my videoke session with my former ACS team mates.. :)

sleeping disorder

2010-01-22T00:48:00.000-08:00

almost 2 am and still awake.. typing a new entry here on my blog. cant sleep again.. why oh why.. it feels like days are too slow, the phasing of days from Monday to Friday is a bit boring. i thought it was already Friday yesterday, why? cause that is how i feel it. dont know why..

i got a lot of things to think of these days.. regarding my work, im okay with it. can handle it, with care ^_^.

im thinking of pushing myself away again from my family and/or relatives. it just that i want to put it back to the time when they dont know anything from me. that they dont have any news about me. well, im at peace during those times..

one thing that i get mad on filipino values is that when someone is trying to help you, they lend the right arm but you still want the left arm. so agressive. not just be thankful for whatever help they offer to you..

tomorrow would be Saturday and the company dinner is set. yeah, we're gonna attend,. my barong and slacks are ready. and on Sunday, it is on! yeah! its Sarah G's concert here. i already got my VIP ticket and wish to have more cool pictures this time minus the haggardness..

im looking forward to my vacation in manila. i need to recharge again. i need to see faces of whom i can talk my sentiments and people who will understand me - my friends.

hope i can sleep now. and free my mind from those worries.. tstksk.. not good at health..

around 9 PM i already resolved the issue. and from the previous night havent got a good sleep. well, i did have nap in the bus but that was only less than 30 minutes..

2 more hours and I will start my shift again. and of course i dont want myself to look like a zombie in the office.. what i did? sent a text message to my manager, told him that i cant go into the office that night because of having no sleep for the whole day.

Happy New Year!!!!

2010-01-04T16:01:00.001-08:00

this will be my official first entry on this year 2010. well, this is my first time to experience new year outside of the country. well, the reason is because i have work and i did not able to file a leave and we are only 4 in the team that was left, but at the end of the day that is okay with us. we hope that next year it would be different. ^_^

December 31, we planned a lot of things to do before the new year's eve. thought that the boss will allow us to work from home but then it was not permitted because we have contractor's in the team. they will be left in the office if we decided to work at home.

plan changed. we will not cook anymore at the night before the new year. literally, we were here in the office on new year's ever. it was like it is just a normal day for everyone else though we know that it is new year and we should be celebrating and making noises.. oh well, the effect of working at night. anyways, we greeted each one of us a happy new year though.

we got off from work 2 hours early so as early as 6 AM we were on our way going home. and at the same day we had a bad news. the grandpa of our friend passed away and she is also our housemate. after some crying scene and composing herself, she's back to normal. well, what can be done on a dead person? nothing else but for you to cry.

things went back to normal that day. the plan pushed through. we cook all the food that we planned to cook and prepare. for new year we had - spaghetti, leche flan, ham with pineapple, liempo, cheesecake, quezo de bola, fruits, soda. and we are only 5 in the house.. hahaha.. we had a lot that day. eating every once in a while. and the following day we added buttered shrimp. ^_^

we also went to mall and watched 2 movies. after that, going back home and we had videoke sessions - did i tell you that i bought that mic on the day i went back here and the reason why i am the last person to check in? lolz..

oh well, that is how our new year had passed. hope everyone had a good new year celebration. ^_^

weekend in Manila

2009-12-27T10:22:00.000-08:00

first thing, i just got back here in Malaysia less than 2 hours ago and i can say na medyo pagod ang katawang lupa ko.. need ko magrecharge ng lakas tomorrow.

so what happened sa aking last weekend? nasa Manila po ako.. nag enjoy kasama ang mga kaibigan.

Friday - christmas day.. the day na dumating ako ng pinas, ang ginawa ko muna is natulog para mabawasan ng konti ang jet lag then diretso sa mall, pero sarado ang salon na maggugupit sana sa buhok ko (i mean ung tao sa salon na iyon ung maggugupit) then i had my diamond peel na rin at ang dami na namang nakuha ni ate, nakakahiya talaga. third, nakabili ako ng mga susuotin sa party (isa para sa annual dinner ng company next year then ung isa para sa kasal ni aimee).. after that nakipag kwentuhan / telebabad muna sa mga barkada ko nung high school... nagpaphinga sandali.. tapos nagpa hot oil na rin ako ng buhok.. and last is nagdinner kasama si jo .. :p

so after that uwi ng bahay dahil maaga pa para sa kinabukasan.. pero late na rin naman ako nakauwi.. hehehe

the following day, im on my way sa laguna kasama ng mga kaopisina ko dati para sa kasal naman ng isang kaibigan. bwahhaah.. so that day was dedicated to Aimee.. we wish her goodluck and best wishes.. hindi ka na dalaga ate.. ikaw ang unang nag-asawa sa lahat.. ahahhaa..

then nung nakabalik na kami ng manila, that night naman is also for another set ng barkada para sa comedy bar.. ahahha.. pero sad thing is punuan na sa punch line.. ang nandun is si vice ganda and si anton diva.. i know sayang pero come to think of it, minsan din naman paulit ulit na lang din ung mga spiel nila.. hehehe.. pero sa laffline kami napadpad at tumawa ng tumawa dun sa mga bagong stand up comedian.. at least natawa kami to the highest level sa knila.. and i can say na naenjoy namin cya dahil sa kanila.. boring na ung medyo matanda na comedian and si chocoleit.. yep.. si chocoleit na nanalo daw ng award for this year as a comedian ata.. not sure.. pero nabore na ko sa spiel na.. hindi ko na cya naappreciate.. mas naappreciate ko pa ung mga bago.. at alam mo kay chocoleit na pilit na ung ginagawa nya.. and ang masama pa dun pinapahaba pa nya ung segment nya.. so sa mga napanood namin, ung performer before him and cya ung mga boring na segment but the others are great. so un..

after that, uwian na.. pagod na rin naman ang katawang lupa. umuwi an at natulog..

ang tulog na sobrang tagal at himbing dahil magaalas tres na ko ng hapon nagising.. kamusta naman.. dapat magpapagupit ako ng before lunch pero wala na.. hindi na umabot.. and nakipag meet na lang ako sa friend ko and had early dinner sa my glorietta then bumili na rin ako ng magic sing.. para sa new year hindi kami boring dito sa bahay.. hahaha.. kahit wala kami sa pinas this is it.. masaya pa rin kami.. bwahahhaa..

i was at the airport ng 7 pm and my flight is 8:55.. bwhahaha.. ako ung last na nagcheck in tapos nagclose na ung counter.. fine with me.. hahaha.. and pagdating ko sa loob nagboboard na.. pero okay lang as i was seated on the first row.. :)

so the trip was very much comfortable compared nugn pauwi.. maluwag cya and comfortable.. epal lang ung nasa likod ko kasi sabi nung FA lagay ko daw ung bag ko sa ilalim ng upuan ko but then ung nasa likod talagang nilipat nya sa katabing upuan basta basta.. kainis.. sana man lang nagsabi.. bara bara talaga nyang siniksik sa kabila.. hay.. ewan ko na lang..

pagdating sa airport dito i think im the one who went out of the airport, una kasi nasa front row ako and mabilis ako maglakad kahit my nauna sa kin.. then pumila ako sa MY passport holder na booth kasi my visa naman ako, then nakuha ko agad ung maleta ko sa carousel... hehehe..

so iyon.. :)

so now im back here in KL.. im checking my mails lang.. hehehe.. so pano goodnight everyone!! ^_^

Avatar and all

2009-12-19T06:19:00.000-08:00

okay, we watched Avatar in Pavilion sa KL, in a 3D theater. okay iyong movie, rating ng up to 10, i will give it a 9.5! ang galing ng pagkakagawa.. nice..very nice.. galing ng effects lalo na iyong pagka 3D nya. ;) hehehhe

after watching Avatar, tambay lang sandali sa Starbucks, konting kwentuhan then gala na... medyo marami rin ang nagalaan. and i bought a new bag from United Colors of Benetton. :) oo, bag na naman. it is a laptop bag, i know addict ako sa bag. actually napadaan din kami sa Samsonite, and we found a good bag there but the price is more than 10k in Philippine peso, so parang its not practical to buy one especially for me na parang ang bilis magpalit ng gamit. nabobore ako agad, thats the reason. anyways, upon searching the whole mall, nakakita din ulit ako ng bagong bag.. ahahha.. actually, 2 bag dapat ang bibilin ko.. :) sorry na, oo alam ko addict. eh the problem with the messenger bag is last piece na cya, ung naka display. okay na sana iyon but the problem is my fiber sa ilalim na nakalas.. :( so iyon, i just bought the backpack bag from United Colors of Benetton. if you will ask the price, SALE ko nabili, wala pang 5k, less than.. kayo na humula.. compared naman sa more than 10k na worth ng Samsonite bag, ill be more peaceful acquiring this UCB bag.

then last stop after ng mga ikot ikot, DINNER time!!! had dinner at Pancake House International. had a chicken with spaghetti and also halo halo.. oo meron silang halo halo dito.. heheh.. had a good chat with Ppie and Dicey. next time ulit.. hehehe..

so now, here i am sa house, need ko ng maglaba again ng clothes ko kasi tambak na naman for two weeks. ;(

and also, nagtake out na rin ako ng beef tapa and spaghetti in case magutom ako.. hehehe

2009-12-13T05:56:00.000-08:00

the past week has been so kinda busy.. well not that busy with a rate of 10 out of 10. maybe give it a 7.

for the last week, i went back in playing badminton. i played the game twice - wednesday and friday. i need to practice again more and more.. feeling magaling na naman.. bwahhaha..

then i got two new mouse. then i also had my laptop reformatted last night. my plan of buying a new laptop bag didn't push through because i cant find any design. oh well. maybe next time.

hindi na naman ako makabalik sa aking tulog.. pero bakit ako nagising? si russ kasi tinawagan ako, lolz.. kasalanan mo.. ahahha.. sabi nya kung matutulog na daw ako, sabi ko oo, pero actually tulog na ko.. hehehe.. dumating na daw kasi ung box mula sa LBC, nasa guard house na daw and need kunin.. so kala ko kasi idedeliver dito sa my pinto ng condo, iyon pala literally na iniwan sa guard house. so i went down to the guard house wearing black sando and pajama. pantulog na pantulog ang hitsura ko. ahahha..

so now im still checking my pc, kasi my virus daw. so im running different kind of test. actually my mga nakita na kong threats but the problem is trial version lang ung mga nadownload ko.. and hindi puede nya malinis all of the threat unless im gonna buy the software. so im still figuring out and looking online what could be the software that i can use to scan my pc.

right now im running Trend Micro Housecall. sana gumana cya. and i feel na medyo naghahang nga ang pc ko which is hindi naman ganito dati. why oh why..

cmon edward, sleep now! ahhaha

when my brother says please and salamat

2009-12-01T03:39:00.000-08:00

i really wonder if they were really at their own self. i mean, its not that usual thing to us to say thank you and please. though we've been brothers, its like we never say please and thanks in its meaningful way.

the first time i received salamat from my youngest brother was 2008, yeah that was last year when i paid his tuition. what i mean is ilang semesters na akong nagbabayad ng tuition nya and that was the first time he said salamat.
and those times na first time nyang nagsabi na ayaw nyang huminto dahil sayang naman. well, maybe the effect of it, to say thank you.

and now i opened my yahoo mail which i seldom do, i received an email from my second brother, asking (borrowing) some money from me. well, family problem again. and on the email he sent, he said please. so meaning talagang need nya ung money, to say please iba un. well, i already sent him the money but never got a response back from them.

see? that is what im trying to say here. after giving them the money, you wont hear anything from them, even a single text message or a reply to my email saying i got the money and thank you..

that is why its like always new to me when they say please and salamat.

not yet

2009-12-01T02:15:00.000-08:00

and a lot of issues coming in

2009-11-25T23:14:00.000-08:00

and the deadline is very near.. can i cry??? waaa..hay.. sigh.. hay.. im going crazy nowadays.. i dont know.. i really dont know.. the migration should end by Dec 1. anong petsa na??? 26??? ilang araw na lang, my mga issue pa sa environment at sa reporting..

okay. kasi naman ewan ko ah, i looked at the schedule talaga and I did not see my name in any of the task (unless nabulag ako that time and i made a mistake of not seeing my name in the project plan), so alam ko wala akong gagawin but to check lang if everything is working fine when the migration date comes. nagugulat ako ngaun kasi my mga issue and ung manager ako ung tinatanong ng tinatanong sa mga issue.

first thing, di ba my entry na ko here regarding the database import / export. basically, i am not an Oracle DBA. but i did that kind of job because of the DBA here in the office said that we can do it without their help because we have permission. fine! this is the task na nagulat talaga ako na ako pala ung gagawa kasi that same night lang sinabi sa akin na ako iyong gagawa. and napagalitan pa ko na if i knew daw what i really needed to do. if i read the documentation, blah blah.. okay.. i said sorry.. lumampas sa dapat na task na gagawin, pero buti nga i asked di ba. kasi kung hindi patay tayo lalo jan..

natapos iyong task na iyon with the help of my lord god nairaos ko iyon, sa tulong na rin ng team ko. so next stop? my issue sa environment di ako makapagsearch ng processes na running.. bakit??? yan din ang mahiwagang tanong ko.. why oh why.. so now, i opened a ticket to the software vendor and tried already the solution he gave. but still at this point in time is still not working.. i already escalated it to the third level and i wish and hope that they are doing something about it.. wala po akong training dito.. so i really dont know ano ung mga dapat galawin.. but based on the facts that i know, dapat it is running. hay.. ewan ko talaga..

next issue on hand.. the cognos reporting.. again, i dont have a formal training about cognos software.. but then, the issue came in when i checked the entries after i did the import of the data from one server to the other. there are duplicates in the report. which is definitely not there!!! why on earth there are duplicates entry.. and the answer i also dont know.. i am not the developer who created the report. and i am not the developer who created the tables. i dont know their relationships, blah blah..

i double checked the database entries and took some random numbers, and found out that the database dont have a duplicate entries.. so my first guess would be right.. there might be some issue with how the report was made. and why is it showing duplicate entries..

i escalated it again to the person who made the report. he said i need to recreate blah blah.. and i asked for the documentation on how to do that.. he said, he need some time to do it and on friday he will give it to me.. okay, Friday then..

ang dami pang issues.. hay.. sana matapos na ito lord god.. please.. ang hirap po kasi pag di mo naman alam ung mga dapat gawin but then sa iyo pinapagawa and i also dont know if this is part of my job kasi environment/platform issue na cya.. one thing is for sure, i am learning through these things.. and i know i can make it through.. wish me luck..

thank you lord god for the talents and blessings you are giving to me.. thanks thanks..

missing links

2009-11-22T23:21:00.000-08:00

bakit nawawala ung mga links ko sa right side? my milagro na namang naganap.. hay.. so what and how now? ewan ko.. mageedit na naman ba ko? eh wala ako ngaun sa mood mag edit..

iyong idedebug ko ngang map from last week di ko pa madebug debug dahil bumawi ako ng tulog.. ikaw na umuwi ng 2 pm at matulog ng 4 30 or 6 pm tapos my pasok ka ng gabi.. san ka pa..

pero un nga, at least nakatulog din ako ng mahaba haba.. that was 15 hours of straight sleep.. sweet.. ^_^

bukas ko na lang tignan what happened dun.. hay

work unexpected

2009-11-22T00:00:00.000-08:00

nitong week na nagdaan, my ginawa na naman akong bago sa work.. nagulat talaga ako.. kasi merong migration na nagaganap.. ung isang hawak ko na sinusupport kong application imomove na kasi dito sa office namin at aalisin na sa US. my schedule naman cya kaya walang issue.. and tinignan ko naman ung sched wala naman ung name ko sa mga task na nandun.. so okay lang.. then nagtesting ng data, they transferred some of the data from SCX to here para macompare nila ung processing kung parehas ba.. that time wala ako kasi nagliliwaliw ako sa pinas.. hehehe.. so my ibang gumawa ng mga task na nasa document..

so last Thursday night nag-ping sa kin ung manager sabi kung ready na daw ba ko.. sabi ko saan.. sabi nya mag iimport daw kami ng database and export na rin from US server to AP server.. so sabi ko wait, am i the one who's going to do that.. and the answer was yes.. so nagulat ako.. sabi nya nasa document daw iyon.. so un na nga ung document na nasend nung naka leave ako.. so i said im gonna read the document first then send an email if i will have any queries..

so basa basa.. cyempre nagulat ako.. tapos binasa ko till the end and i sent an email to the US counterpart ng mga queries ko.. sabi nya, bkit daw my mga ganung tanong.. and dapat daw na gagawin ko is import/export lang ng data no more no less.. okay pasensya.. sinabihan pa ko na alam ko daw ba talaga ung gagawin ko.. hehehe.. pasensya ulit.. kasi nga nagulat din ako.. so confirm confirm.. ganito ba ganyan.. so in the end, we're okay na on what i am going to do..

sinimulan ko ng after business hour sa US, tumwag pa ko ng DBA para gawin ung sa server side ng SCX, then after that nag start na kong magtransfer sa server dito sa AP.. so cge lang. but then, ang laki ng kinakain na bandwidth eh 12 noon na d2 sa office, and friday din.. so apektado bale ung sa server ng AP.. so we decided na next day na lang gawin.. so we went home ng 1 pm but night shift kami..

so friday came, i coordinated na both sa DBA sa US server and dito sa AP server.. and ung mga dapat gawin.. at ang sagot ng DBA sa AP server? ung mga gagawin daw d2 is meron kaming privilege, so we can do it ourselves without their help.. hay nku talaga.. katamaran to the maximum level..

nagugulat ako sa mga nagaganap.. eh wala namang magagawa na di ba.., but before i started all of it i prayed na sana magawa ko ng matino itong work na binigay sa akin kasi wala akong idea na ako ung gagawa and pano gawin ito in the first place.. ang dami kong naging issue nugn first day na unexpected..

but at the end, it went well.. of all the issues reported, isa na lang ang outstanding.. i also dont know what happened. but it should be the same.. need ko pang pag aralan ung docu and check again the database on what happened.. but cyempre proud ako dahil nagawa ko un.. ^_^

can't sleep.. again?

2009-11-16T04:40:00.000-08:00

okay, hindi ako makatulog ulit and i dont know why.. i slept around 10 am today but then around 5 i woke up. but if you compute it, that must be a good sleep, seven hours to be exact of straight sleep. that's my problem eversince. when i woke up and needed to stay asleep, that is where my problem comes in. i dont know how to go back to sleep. hays

anyways, while lying on my bed, i thought a lot of things. from the first time i went to the US, the condo, the apartment. it was like all of them are coming back to me. i also took a glimpse of the pictures inside my zune, and most of them are from last year's christmas party of my former company. hay.. i really miss the peepz, the team i mean. who wouldn't be? three months of being together in the US, stuck in the same car almost everyday from Monday to Sunday, went through different states only using paper maps and calculations,lolz.. who could have forget all those times... and i had a great time with them..

i really don't know what struck me. but i really need to go back to sleep but then i can't. so here i am, blogging again. im kinda active again in posting here. nyay.. hehehe.. another thing that i thought is my brother, well my youngest brother, who i am sending to school for his last sem, congrats! ahahah.. well, even my life before. i dont know, why i am thinking all of these right now. i am not sure if "homesick" is striking me back. its new to me cause i never felt like this before.. hayz..

ill try to sleep again but before that, i need to harvest first. lolz

pagod ^_o

2009-11-14T04:33:00.000-08:00

time check: 5:33 AM laptop time (US timezone).
so since yesterday morning, my shift hindi pa ko nagkakaroon ng matinong tulog. ang naging tulog ko lang is ung idlip sa bus papasok ng office and ung pabalik ng bahay from the office.. muntik pa akong lumagpas sa bus stop kasi hindi ako nagising agad, tulog ako when we reached the bus stop which supposedly bababa na kami. buti na lang ginising ako ng 2 kasama ko.. nagulat pa ako tuloy, feeling ko ang tagal huminto ng bus dahil sa akin.. hehehe..

pagkauwi sa house, kumain lang sandali then nagharvest sa farm and then nag ayos na rin ng farm. i know you know what i am talking about here - Farmville.

after that umalis na rin kami and went straight ahead sa ikea to look for cabinet and things na need ko for the house. after naming maikot ang buong Ikea, what did i get on my hands? LACK - need ng drilling para maging patungan sa loob ng room, 2 heavy duty na hanger for pants (5 pants ata nasabit ko dun sa isa), sad to say last 2 piece na cya so kinuha ko na agad ung dalawa. then ung mga screws and scented candle. that all ive got sa Ikea. tomorrow maggagala ako sa mall para tumingin pa rin, sana makakita na ako agad.. hehehe

this night naman pagkauwi ng house, ang ginawa ko is naglinis ako ng buong bahay - except ung mga rooms ng kasama ko. hehehe.. mula sa laundry area hanggang sa veranda sinabon ko ung floor. so sa linis kasama na rin ung room ko. eto ung part na ramdam kong pagod na ko. gusto ko na ngang matulog eh, actually binukas ko na ung aircon sa room and im blogging here sa dining area - para pagpasok ko mamaya malamig na iyong room and tulog na agad ako.. hehehe

ano bang meron? ah, ayun pala. dumaan kami kanina sa secret recipe before umuwi from Ikea, my mall kasi sa tapat nun, i bought 6 slices of different cakes pero mostly cheesecake. gusto ko kasing tikman. sa CBTL kasi masarap ung chicago cheesecake nila(?) - firm talaga.

so pano? dinner muna kami. adobo ata ulam namin., hehehe. oh di ba, kahit wala sa pinas, mga ulam namin dito pinas pa rin.. ^_^

2012

2009-11-12T09:56:00.000-08:00

source

watched this morning yesterday morning together with the team sa gardens. actually maaga pa kami nun, since we are working night shift, we left the office around 9 am and the cinema opens ng 12. so what happened is we took our breakfast/dinner before kami nanood.

*spoiler alert

the movie lasted for more than two hours. medyo mahaba. but its worth it. iyong ibabayad mo sa sinehan, sulit. lalabas ka ng pag uusapan nyo ung movie. hahaha.. lalo na ung part na:

scene: nagkakagulo na inside the car kasi babagsak ung plane - maingay sa loob.

Jackson: (sinasaksak ung susi ng car) the car doesnt start

Guy (malalim boses nito): (sumigaw) QUIET

Guy: Engine Start (mahinahon na boses)

lolz... at umandar ang makina.. ang kulit di ba?

mamamatay ka na at nagkakagulo dahil ayaw umandar ng sasakyan biglang ganun lang pala un. voice recognition.. ahahha..

anyways, maganda ung movie all in all. maybe a rate of 8.5 out of 10 would be okay. and the big revelation sa movie na ito? CHINA.. wag nyong smallin ung mga gawang China. dahil sa movie na ito sila ang gumawa ng mga ship na nagligtas sa mga tao.. matibay naman ung gawa nilang ship.. kahit nabagsakan na ng mga bato, tinamaan ng Air Force 1, at sumadsad ung ilalim na part sa ilalim ng tubig, buhay pa rin.. at nakapagligtas ng sangkatauhan.. wahhehehe

lalabas ka dito ng nakangiti at pag uusapan pa rin ung nangyari sa movie.. hehehe

on other note:

nabili ko na ung Nike na bag and gamit ko cya ngaung gabi sa office.. lolz

since katabi lang ng mall ung Nike shop, pinuntahan ko na at binili ko na agad. so far so good.. picturan ko one time tapos post ko.. hehehe

GXS Lunch

2009-11-11T13:39:00.000-08:00

cyempre hindi mawawala ung team na ito.. hehehe

my former officemates and my friendly friends.. well, actually i saw them na when i visited the office the first day ko pa lang sa pinas. my halloween party pa nga sa office but then my appointment ako with other people.

konting harutan, landian at mga kwentuhan tungkol sa buhay buhay ng bawat isa..

grabe.. nakakamiss iyong ganun.. dati rati almost everyday that we see each other. isang ping lang sa MOC or tatayo ka lang ng cube mo at sisigaw ng pangalan ni ganito, magkakausap na kayo and lahat ng team nakikinig din.. lolz

they are the people and the reason why i stayed longer in GXS, less than 3 years din ako sa first company ko. sila ung mga taong tumulong at naging pamilya ko sa loob ng panahon na yan. at sila din ung tumulong sa kin nung panahon na sobrang down sa buhay ko, though ang isang rason din naman dun ay mga taga loob..

oh well, past is past, mas marami akong magandang memories sa loob kesa sa bad.. and sila nga iyong mga good memories..

anyways, marami pa ring kwento over lunch.. uu nga pala, had lunch sa North Park near RCBC.. hayz.. kakamiss talga kayo.. tsktsk

on this photo:

Ms Marj, Jaja, Edward, Pam/Mel, Leigh, Zel, Ms Thina, Karen, Rashid

konti na lang yan compared sa batch namin dati sa dev team na more than 100 kami. but still sabi ko nga part na rin sila ng life ko.. kaya i will always go back to them whenever im available. hehehe

saka nga pala, wag naman masyado lahat papuri.. ahahaha.. nakakalunod din minsan ang isang basong tubig.. lolz

saka iyong mukhang meron ako gawa sa syensya di ba? so dapat maganda talaga ang kinalabasan.. saka sabihin nyo rin pag panget, para for improvement.. lolz..

so pano? miss ko na ulit kayo pero mukhang matatagalan bago tayo magkita kita ulit.. ingats po palagi! ^_^

Racks / Icebergz

2009-11-11T13:32:00.001-08:00

first people na ka appointment ko when i went back sa Pinas last week of October.

Dinner with Ms Thina kasama si Jo.

well, what i did is i went to my former office sa RCBC and sinundo si ms thina then sabay na kaming pumunta ng MOA para sunduin naman si ate. we had dinner sa Racks - sobra busog ko dun ah.. ahahah..

ang dami nating nakain.. nakapag take out pa tuloy na mga di natin naubos..

daming kwento.. nakakamiss din iyong ganung buhay sa pinas..

na everytime na libre puede kayong magkita kita.

its one of the things that i miss in Manila.

after our dinner sa Racks, we went ahead sa Icebergs for dessert.

i had halo halo kasi cyempre di naman ako madalas makakain nun dito.

and ang dami pa ring kwento.. ahahha.. nakakamiss ang mga laugh trip.

grabe.. i really miss this set up.

on my next uwi, kita kits po ulit..

mamamasko po.. ^_^

bored ^_o

2009-11-10T12:40:00.000-08:00

dahil sa ako ay walang magawa dito sa office dahil na rin sa wala ng ticket at natapos ko na ang aking trabaho sa mas maagang oras, eto ako ngayon - hilo sa antok.. gising na ko 1:30 pa lang ng hapon and its almost 5 am in my ip phone. sana 8 na para makauwi na ko.. hahaha..gusto ko ng makabawi ng tulog eh.. one more thing pa pala, iniisip ko kung pupunta ako ng mall tomorrow and if im gonna buy the Nike Bag that i want.. what do you think?

and another thing that i did because of boredom, i read my previous entries on this blog. ang daming typo error pati grammar. ahahah.. hindi kasi ako nagproproof read ng mga entries ko dito. kung ano lang maisip ko iyon na iyon. minsan mali talaga..

naka past tense ung sentence dapat pero meron akong present tense na ginagamit. parang kahapon tapos ngaun.. oh di ba? ano pa ba? basta ang dami kong nabasang mga mali. kung puede nga lang ire-edit lahat ng iyon. hehehe

sa ngayon, meron palang on going renovation dito sa office. di ko alam ano at kung bakit ang dahilan ng biglang pagbabago. siguro dahil na rin sa laki ng populasyon ng kompanyang kinabibilangan ko, need na nilang magdagdag ng mga cube.. hehehe

so pano, idlip muna ko.. signing off...

the first Pinas trip..

2009-11-10T03:31:00.000-08:00

i made my first ever balikbayan trip last week of October. anong feeling ng isang OFW na first time uuwi ng pinas? excited.. para mameet na rin ung mga damit imeet. gawin iyong mga dati mo ng ginagawa. mga ganung bagay. at dahil sa hindi ako excited at sa praktikal na rin, dinala ko na ung maleta ko gabi pa lang ng tuesday para diretso na ko sa airport. kasi naman baka maubos oras ko kung sa house pa ko manggagaling. anyways, i left the office around 7 am, so 7:30 nasa airport na ata ako and my flight is around 10 am sa Malaysia Airlines.

hindi ako maaga pero sakto lang ung pila para sa check in luggage. meron kasi silang allowed na 20 kilos every passenger pag going back to Manila even pabalik ng KL. so after ko mag check in, next stop is immigration. actually wala naman akong naging hassle sa pagpasok sa airport nila dito.

the immigration officer asked me pa nga if i wanted stamp sa passport ko kasi puedeng wala since i do have the card here. pero sabi ko "yes please". para alam pa ring lumabas ako at dumating ng malaysia.

mahigit one hour before my flight nasa boarding gate na ko. and since hindi pa ko nagbreakfast, naghanap ako ng coffee shop na malapit and napadpad ako sa coffee bean sa kabilang wing ng airport. ahaha.. talagang nilakad ko ung part na iyon till makakita ako ng makakainan.

sakto naman ung oras ng flight. at ung hinihintay ko na pag angat ng eroplano sa lupa is hindi naganap. dahil? nakatulog ako sa sobrang antok at pagod. nagising ako nakikita ko na lang ung lupa at mga building sa bintana. but okay lang naman. and i have a good seat na rin. 2 rows behind the business class. ^_^

so nung naka idlip ako ginising ako ng FA in a nice way dahil magseserve ng food. ano daw gusto ko. ang kinain ko ata is chicken curry na my rice. and i think naubos ko cya dahil gutom na naman ang bata.. ahahha..

lumapag iyong plane sa NAIA around 2 PM. at 2:30 PM nasa labas na ko ng NAIA papuntang makati. at nandun din ako naipit sa traffic sa my airport road. and it only means - nasa Pinas na nga ako..

Welcome Manila!

new layout

2009-11-09T23:52:00.000-08:00

i have a new layout again.. ahaha.. hindi na naman ako nakontento sa aking dating lay out at naggalugad na naman ako sa net ng mga bago or should i say ng gusto ko na theme para sa blog ko. anyways, i hope this one would make it a month or for two months.. hehehe

nag edit nga rin pala ako ng mga fonts. though hindi ganun ka perfect ung layout nya - my gusto pa sana akong gawin pero nagugulo ung mga images. hehehe..

so for now i hope this could make me happy. ^_^

2009-11-08T23:30:00.000-08:00

as what the title of this post implies, im already done with the expense report that i need to finish. maybe you are wondering ano itong report na ito right? well, its the report i made regarding my last trip sa pinas.. kasi i need to know how much money i spent there. and i need to categorize din iyong how much ung naspent ko for myself and for other people. and now im good. natapos ko na rin cya and im aware now of the expenses that i made sa pinas.

2009-11-07T07:28:00.000-08:00

tomorrow, im gonna start posting about my pinas trip. ;)

YM was blocked

2009-10-26T00:56:00.000-07:00

my ym was blocked by the anti virus provided by the office.. eh bkit ako nagagalit? kasi im using my personal laptop on my work, eh nag bloblock sila ng mga application na sa akin lang.. astig eh no? is this their laptop? katuwa.. hindi na nga ako gumagamit ng asset ng office to do my job, ganito pa gagawin di ba? sino ba namang hindi maiinis sa ginagawa nila.. hay.. anyways, i already sent an email to the person in the IT if there will be any way that it will be removed from the script their using on my personal laptop, kasi personal nga di ba? ahahha

and also, ayun, i asked them to install the softphone na rin on my machine since i will be on leave starting Wednesday till next week.. ^_^

ewan ko ba sa IT anong ginagawa nila.. ahahha.. sana lang matapos na ito bukas.. if they wont allow my YM, then i will request for an office laptop na gumagana at hindi nagloloko.. and i hope na madali lang iyon.. hayz..

pasalubong..

2009-10-24T09:53:00.000-07:00

napadpad na naman ako ng Kuala Lumpur kanina dahil nga sa mga last minute na bibilhin kong pasalubong. yep. meron pa ring mga dapat bilhan.. nagising ako ng 1 pm na dahil nga sa pasok ko sa trabaho last friday. why? kasi i went to the office around 7:30 am coz i have a call with US peepz with one of my projects, then my trainign din ako the whole day tapos after ng day shift, we watched a movie lang dun sa isang mall then went back sa office para icheck ung queue ng team. nakapag handle pa rin ako ng mga tickets that night, even E4s. so i went home around 1 am. and nasa house na ko ng mga 2 am then nagbasa muna ng personal mails and nag facebook!!!! hahaha.. hindi ako nakapag facebook for the past week na day shift ako..

okay, back to kwento, nagising na nga ako ng past lunch na. then umalis kami ng house around 4 pm na. at 4:30 pm naggagala na kami sa mall ng mga dapat bilhin. and for myself naman my hinahanap akong body bag na puede kong gamitin sa pinas pag uwi ko.. ^_^

pasok muna sa department store and nakabili ako ng short. okay ung short. and short din ako sa short. ahahah.. it only means one thing, papasok na naman ako ng naka short sa office.. lolz..

second stop, my nakita kaming shop.. mukhang sosyal na shop. okay ung bag and mga damit.. sabi ko fashionista ung mga bag nila, pang metrosexual. if i can find one bibili ako.. and i love the designs.. cute eh.. hehehe.. pagpasok namin, my nakita akong jacket. cyempre jacket na naman.. so sinukat ko.. unang sukat large, malaki ng onti.. hehehe.. nag try ako ng medium, parang bitin pero parang sakto lang.. design nya ata un.. eh nakaharap ako sa mirror nun, pagtalikod ko sa kasama ko, si kuya (foreigner cya) nakatingin din.. ahahahaha.. so ibig sabihin maganda nga ung jacket.. ahahaha.. so nagpakuha ako ng bago pero last piece na daw.. so sige go.. pagtingin ko sa presyo.. napahinga ako ng malalim.. ahahaha.. mas mahal sa isang jacket sa Zara.. lolz.. cge go lang.. maganda naman eh..

tapos my bag akong nakita na body bag.. cute.. check dito check dun. okay.. pahingi po ng new stock.. then libot sa buong store.. lahat ng nakikita ko hindi ordinaryo ang presyo.. so ikot ikot.. tapos wala na.. so bayad na.. na declined ung card ko sa hsbc.. hindi ko alam bakit.. eh my free pa un na secret.. lolz.. basta malaki pa ung free space nun.. lagi na lang nadedecline ung hsbc card ko, and i dont know why.. at that point i knew that this store only accepts cash and nothing more.. even ung EPS style sa bank na meron ako hindi rin kasi gumana.. so after magbayad, labas na.. tapos nag ikot pa rin kami sa mall and had our dinner na rin sa mall na iyon..

next stop is iyong computer mall na naman.. and i ended up buying: a new laptop bag, 2 earphones, one memory card for my camera. and mga pabili..

and now what i need to do next is to check my account if i can still live for the next 4 weeks before ng sweldo.. ahahaha.. anyways, ung mga pasalubong is nasa bag na.. all i need to do is just to fix it on the luggage..

so Pinas, see you on Wednesday!!! ^_^

at the embassy again...

i went at the embassy again yesterday. my plan was to get an OEC so that i wont pay the tax anymore when leaving Manila when i go home. so armed with my employment contract and my passport, we went to the embassy and straight to Window A. i asked the guy there, we need an OEC. then he asked me if i have my OWWA daw, so my answered was, "OWWA?".. tapos he replied na they need it daw kasi para malaman kung till kelan ung contract namin dito. so i said our work is a permanent job. so sabi nya they still need it kasi hindi naman daw puede na permanent. ang kulit di ba? hanggang bukas ung kompanya nandito ako and as long as they need my service. sabi nya wala daw permanent.. nakakainis.. dun ako nainis.. ikaw kuya!!! ikaw!! hindi ka dapat permanent sa position na yan... bwiset ka..

i dont also like the way you deliver your message.. para naman kaming illegal worker. eh hello. kayo nga nasa ibang bansa na kayo nanghihingi pa kayo ng lagay.. magbago naman kayo.

so sabi ko sa kasama ko, kausapin ung babae dun, and sabihin na OEC lagn need namin, walang philhealth, walang OWWA or whatsoever.. tapos un nga, sabi daw magbabayad daw kami since wala kami ng OWWA card. sabi pa, "ano ba namang mga OFW ito".. sabay tanong sa kasabay namin "ikaw, alam mo ba ung OWWA card?", sinagot naman ni ate ng "hindi., ano iyon?"..

so sabi ko sa kasama ko alis na lang kami.. magbabayad na lang ako sa airport ng tax... ok lang iyon.. mas maluwag pa sa loob, kesa sa hassle na binibigay nila. nakakainis kasi.,. basta naiinis ako.. sayang ung effort sa knila..

kahit kailan talaga ang ahensya ng gobyerno.. saan mang lupalop mapadpad.. meron at meron talagang sumisira.. tsktsk

F1 race and NAS move

2009-10-09T23:44:00.001-07:00

i said na there will be NAS server move today di ba from my previous post. so ayun na nga, this morning we decided to go carting muna near the airport since mabilis lang naman daw iyon. around 10 AM nasa taxi na kami papunta sa race track.

when we reached there, nandun na ung mga ksama namin. we are a total of 10 people who will go carting. nakipag tawaran pa kami kay manong. kasi 150 RM na daw iyong bayad sa package. eh sabi ng kasama namin 120 lang daw. malupet si kuya, sabi nya i know the price cause i work here. suplado ni kuya.. ahaha..

anyways, ayun nga. nakipag deal kami. sabi namin, we'll get first the 10 minutes then we decide after kung gusto namin kunin ung package which includes - 10 minutes on the first round, 5 laps on the second round, 3rd and fourth round. so first round, ginagamay ko po ung cart. this will be my first time na magcart ng ganito kalaking cart.

okay naman ung ikot, and literally na umikot ung cart ko sa gilid sa my curve. lolz.. so naabutan ako ng kasunod ko.. hehe..

after the first round, and nung bumalik na kami sa pit stop, ako ung pangatlo na huminto.... :) okay na rin s first timer di ba??? ahahaha..

so we decided to get the package na, para enjoy na to the fullest. in summary, on the next three 5 laps, i won the 3 laps.. ahahhaa.. hindi ko cya kinareer.. promise.. hindi hindi at HINDIIIII.. ahahaha.. hindi naman ako ganun kacompetitive eh.. ^_^

tapos at the end of the rounds, sabi ni kuya, one more lap as free, so un dun ako umikot ulit kasi bumunggo ako sa kasama ko.. ehehehe.. pero okay na rin naman, kumbaga hindi naman official.. ^_^

after nun, need na naming bumalik sa office kasi my hahabulin kaming call together with the other people related sa NAS move. eh its 1:25 na, wala pa kaming makuhang taxi, so we decided na lumbas na ng race track at maglakad palabas ng highway, is it 1 km long? i think so. sa ilalim ng mainit na araw.. wala ng pakialam kung pawis pawis na.. basta ang kailangan ko makabalik sa opisina ng 2 pm at makadial at makabukas ng laptop. ^_^

so takbo ang ginawa ko pagbaba ng taxi!! as in takbo.. sakto.. pagbukas ng laptop at pagdial, nasa call na sila and will start in the next hour. ayos di ba? lolz.. hay..

nagugutom na ko.. ^_^

family matters

2009-10-09T15:13:00.000-07:00

i do not have a solid connection with my families now. as in from all of them. since i am hours away from Philippines, i seldom contact them. as in very seldom if you're gonna ask me lately. actually i told my father that i will be leaving Philippines to work abroad the day of my flight. 2 or 3 hours before my flight actually. how ironic no? maybe you're saying what kind of son i am. well, you are entitled to your own judgment and you can judge me the way you perceived things here in my blog.

since i have a conflict of my father, i thought that would be the best time to say goodbye. actually, i did plan of going in the province for one day just to personally told them that i'll be working abroad but it did not materialize because of busy schedules and of course the time i spent to process all my papers.

anyways, so there's the story of my father. then the second is my youngest brother. okay, from some time i am the one paying for his tuition fee in college. he is taking up HRM in CEU. for me kasi when i give money, it means that i gave it away totally. na hindi ko na isusumbat or what. parang naglaho na lang na parang bula. so for me, okay lang na bigyan cya ng money dahil para naman sa education nya iyon.

on my second month here, they know that i asked them to look for a cargo company that will ship my things left in Manila. honestly speaking, im bringing all my stuff here where i work now. so i asked them to look for a company with lower cost. kasi madami dami din iyon. cguro mga dalawang maleta pa with all my stuff like shoes, clothes, bags and etc. hehehe

at my first few months here, I'm in contact with my auntie in Batangas and to my cousin. but then when i called my brother if they already found a cargo company, all he said was naghahanap pa. it was already past three months since they know that and still no one showed up.

the past month, my brother asked me about his tuition fee again and for some occassion in the school that he needed to pay. so i gave the whole amount of the remaining tuition fee, and then the amount he asked. it was no issue at all. the issue came when i requested for the receipt of his tuition fee cause he said he sent it already to me and i said i did not receive any of the receipt.

inaway ako ng bata. sinend na daw nya sa email ko ung resibo ng tuition nya. ung sa babayaran daw nya, wala daw resibo cause school ang magbabayad sa hotel, so no per student receipt will be issued to them. eh sabi ko need ko ng resibo ng mga binayaran mo. so sabi ng bata, bakit daw ayaw kong maniwala na nagbayad cya. he already sent an email to me na naman daw with the letter discussed there kung how much ung babayaran and what is the reason they are doing that occassion. kung ayaw ko daw maniwala, pumunta daw ako ng school nya mismo at ako humingi ng resibo!!! pinilosopo ako ng bata. .. pag ako ginago mo, wala ka ng mapapala sa akin. my answer to him??

"hindi lang ung resibo ung hinihingi ko pati ung sa tuition fee mo. ginawa mo na dati yan.. nanghingi ka ng pera pero di mo binayad agad sa tuition mo. magtetext ka lang kapag my kailangan ka db? ung mga pinapadala kong damit d2 naayos mo na? hindi pa db? wag nyo ng isipin un dahil nakuha ko na mga gamit ko.. wala na kaung iisipin".

that was the second to the last message i sent to him. and here's the last:

"bahala ka kung wala kang resibo. huling padala ko na iyon. hindi na ko magpapadala. wala na rin itong number na ito pati na ung globe. hindi ko na gagamitin, ipapablock ko na."

hhehee.. galit na ko that time. inis na ko sa kanila.. isa iyon sa mga ugali ko na pag inis ako.. inis na talga ako.. after that, i ignored all the text messages they sent to my roaming number. even the messages in YM. i wanna feel them that i dont exists anymore. that i dont need them. they are only good to you when they can get anything from you.

dun sa cousin ko nainis na rin ako dahil sa kanya ko talga sinabi na maghanap ng cargo company but still wala pa rin until now. i gave all my things na nga sa knila eh, from my cabinet to my bed including the comforter and all, up to my clothes, wactches, shoes, and all... i give everything na i think sobra na sa akin. na its better for them to use it na lang than masira ang maluma lang.

the idea that they are good to you when you can give something to them and when you asked them a simple favor that they cant do, dun ako naiinis.. sobra.. i reached my limitation. hindi na ako natutuwa.

now, every once in a while they will send a text message, kamusta ka na, blah blah.. and my reply on my mind? whatever!.

and the latest text message that made my head heat up up to the sky is that when my brother, the one next to me sent me a text message like this:

"Oi inoobliga kita na magpadala ng pera kina tatay kada buwan. - including the amount".

oo. reasonable ung amount, pero the fact na inuutusan mo ko ng ganyan? dude watch out, i dont have the amor in my family anymore and i can say to the whole wide world. i tried to be kind, the kindest of them all, but what can they do to you? sigh.. they are one of the reasons why i changed a lot and become like this.

im still thinking pa. i dont know. pero wala na talaga akong amor sa pamilya ko.. sa kaibigan, sobra.. now, ill be going back to Manila at the end of the month, and im just planning to meet them one day each. balikan ang gagawin ko sa Manila. if they will ask me to stay overnight, my answer would be a BIG NO.. i will only bring a small bag with my wallet, my eyeglass, my sunglass and my ever reliable ZUNE.

and if im gonna bring pasalubong? konti.. as in konti. one box of chocolate i think would be enough.. wala nang umaapaw na mga pasalubong. sorry.. this is ME.

TGIF..

2009-10-08T21:33:00.000-07:00

new layout

2009-10-07T22:49:00.000-07:00

i think i needed a new lay out on my blog so i decided to check the net on the new blogger themes even though i only have one hour of sleep from my yesterday's previous day shift.. gulo no? basta un na un.

i have this theme that i like but it is not functioning 100 percent as expected. as i need to put some themes here, i decided to hold of this theme for a while and then when i have some free time, ill search again and do the editing.

for now, i need to sleep more.. kumbaga sa "pokpok" gamit na gamit na ko.. sa madaling salita - antok na antok na ko..

goodnight everyone!

praning!

2009-09-21T08:40:00.000-07:00

grabe! napraning ako nung saturday night. as in sobrang kapraningan.. why naman kasi.. last saturday kasi we watched a movie with the team. Gamer and G Force. then we ate at Chilis. then napag kwentuhan ang mga kababalaghan.. as in sari sari na. all in all na. at pag nalaman pa ko. but better not to talk about it na lang.. ahahah

so nung matutulog na, dahil ata sa mga kwentuhan namin, napraning ako ng sobra. feeling ko nakapikit ang mata ko pero ang senses ko bukas lahat. at feel na feel ko bawat sulok ng kwarto. and natatakot ako. so ginawa ko nagsaksak ako ng earphones sa phone ko at nagpatugtog ng mp3. pero ung thought sa utak ko nakakainis.. kaya dun ako natatakot. eh when i think pa naman ung worst scenario talaga. so sabi ko matutulog na ko, then nag CR muna ko and when i came back ganun pa rin. iyong tipong malamig ung paa ko, as in nanlalamig na ako sa takot at kaba. so anong ginawa ko? nagbasa ako ng BIBLE ulit. oh my god! as in.. lahat ng puedeng basahin regarding sa situation ko nabasa ko na ata. and when i said na ayoko na, lord gusto ko na pong matulog, nahimbing na ko ng maiigi.

iyon ung time na nakatulog na ko sa pagod.

first time ever na nangyari sa akin un. ung tipong gusto ko ng umiyak sa mga naiisip ko at natatakot ako, gusto ko ng mangatok ng ibang kwarto. pero un nga buti na lang nakatulog na rin ako. and mas payapa na ko ngaun..

lord help me.. ayaw ko ng ganung pakiramdam.. :D

bioman ulit

2009-09-17T17:15:00.000-07:00

while sitting here in my cube and taking a glance at my laptop's monitor, napaisip ako bigla sa bioman. im reading some blog kasi and medyo my post dun regarding bioman. so napaisip ako bigla, ano nga ba ung ending ng bioman? kumpleto rin kaya cya sa youtube? ang alam ko kasi umalis din si peebo.

so what i did is go to youtube and search bioman. ayun. complete daw ugn list, but i managed to watched lang the first episode and the last one, oh ung time pa pala when yellow 4 died and she got replaced.

nakakatuwa lang isipin no. nung bata ako tuwang tuwa ako. though ngaun tuwang tuwa pa rin ako. parang kahapon lang. nagbabalik sa memory ung mga times na every saturday and sunday ang gagawin mo lang is mag "time pers" sa mga kalaro mo kapag 11 am na or 4 pm na dahil Maskman, Bioman, Shaider, or Mask Raider Black na. nakakatuwa na kahit nasa 20's ka na, nanjan pa rin ung mga bagay na magpapa alala ng kabataan mo. iyong pagiging musmos mo. carefree nga di ba.

i only have the copy of Maskman, got it from Maskman group member. ewan ko, nawala na bigla si kuya. pero thanks po sa copy. the problem is the language. fresh from japan eh i dont know how to speak nihongo or kung anuman na japanese language.

sa totoo lang, between Maskman and Bioman, mas malapit sa puso ko ang Maskman, by 1 inch siguro. eheheh.. kasi di ba naka dubbed sa tagalog ang Maskman and ung BioMan naman is english. so sa batang katulad ko dati, mas intindi ang maskman.. hehehe..

bakit ko naman naisipang ipost ito? simple. ubos na ang ticket sa queue at tapos na ang trabaho. ahahha

MC for the first time

2009-09-15T11:41:00.000-07:00

hindi ako nakapasok kagabi, why naman? kasi masakit ang utak ko. hapon pa lang masakit na cya. though hindi naman ung sakit na para kang my brain tumor, iyong tipong gumuguhit lang sa utak.

so ginawa ko, umidlip muna ko baka kasi mawala naman ung sakit paggising ko. eh potek, nung naka idlip ako ayaw na akong patayuin ng kama. so i decided not to go to the office na lang. ang ginawa ko? gising pa din.. standby lang if ever magka issue. nagchecheck din ako ng email from time to time and nangunguha ng ticket sa queue.

nakatulog ako ng mga 5 am na rin cguro, di na kaya ng powers ko. then nagising ako ng around 12 noon kasi nagugutom na naman ang bata.. hahaha.. so kumain lang ako ng bread and decided to go to the doctor para kumuha ng MC. kasi nauubos ang leave ko. para naman official na sick leave ako. dito kasi kahit one day ka lang absent need mo kumuha ng certificate para patunayan na my sakit ka unlike sa pinas na pag two consecutive days lang.

so nagpunta ako ng doctor. chinese si doc. ginawa sa akin. pagka upo check ng temperature sa tenga, wala daw akong lagnat. check ng blood pressure, mukha namang okay. tinanong ako anong problema. sabi ko headache, then he also asked where i am working and ano work ko. then huling tanong nya, late daw ba ako lagi natutulog? sabi ko im working night shift. ^_^

after that, tapos na. lumabas na ko. cguro ung check up ko na un tumagal lang ng around 2-3 mins and ang bayad ko? 22 RM. mga 300 pesos. hehehe

so ngaun, simula pagkagising ko ng 12 noon kahapon at pumasok ako d2 sa office gising pa rin ako. and its already 3 am. gising na ko ng 15 hrs officially.

uu nga pala, nagluto ako ng sinigang na hipon for our dinner and naubos namin ang kanin at ulam.. ahhaha.. hindi kami gutom.. HINDI.

unexpected shopping

2009-09-12T07:45:00.000-07:00

went to Mid Valley to do the grocery pero we stopped first sa Gardens to check first on Lego and on Fossil, im looking for new shades kasi na medyo magaan and light weight. first stop was Fossil. i checked their watches on the shelves and also the wallet and, okay everything! i checked everything that is inside their store. and i stopped on the shades. after many tries of this and that kind of shades, i finally made a decision to buy a small shades, parang si cyclops lang.. heheeh

next stop lego store para kay Pie. After starbucks we went straight ahead na sa Mid Valley to do the grocery. pero napadaan ang lolo nyo sa Hush Puppies, sabi ko bili lang ako ng socks kasi medyo gusto ko madami akong socks. so pagpasok ko, cyempre heaven na naman.. i searched everything na naman inside the store.. and okay, napa stopped ako sa jacket. ahahaha.. and binili ko din cya together nung socks and undies.. ^_^

eto totoong grocery na.. ikot dito ikot dun.. nahihilo na ko sa dami ng tao at dahil wala pa rin akong tulog simula last night. im awake 24 hrs officially! potek!

okay, at 9 pm tapos na ung grocery namin.. tulak tulak ko na cya palabas ng mall. napadaan kami sa nagbibigay ng brochure ng mga watches. at first wala akong balak kunin pero napatingin ako sa relo nung nakuha ko. sabi ko "wait!" check lang natin.. hehehe..

so iyon.. ikot dito, pili dito, sukat dito, sukat dun.. and finally, my magagamit na kong alternative ulit sa office. ahahah.. natapos na ang shopping at nakauwi kami..

salamat naman sa card ko at gumana cya. lolz..

uu nga pala, ung taxi na nasakyan namin, ung per segundo my patong. kamusta naman di ba? for 20 mins ride inabot kami ng mga 520 pesos. ang lakas ni manong!

back to blogging

2009-09-11T17:49:00.000-07:00

i'll try to post more entries here in my blog this coming weekend. wag lang sana akong abutin ng katamaran at tumunganga or maglaro na naman ng generals sa laptop ko. hmm..

i think what i should do is to make a list first of what i needed to post in here, kasi it seems that a lot of happenings in my life wasnt here na. so medyo kulang na ang history. hehehe

and i will transfer pictures na pala on my recent trips. :)

at this moment, my mga ticket pa sa queue ko and i told myself na im gonna closed all of them, but at this time they are all Pending Customer. heheh. so nothing to do with it but wait till Monday.

so pano? where am i heading this weekend? di ko pa alam.. need to do the grocery pa pala for the coming week kasi baka walang kainin for next week.. ahahah

One on One

2009-09-09T05:27:00.000-07:00

nakipag one on one talk na ko kay boss amo. ano ang mga naging pangyayari sa loob ng apat na buwan kong pagtatrabaho sa kompanyang ito. kaya pala cya nag night shift kasi aun na nga. my pinaplano.. hehehe.. actually okay naman ako sa standing ko, i mean the results na binigay nya sa akin. merong exceeds and fully meets. cyempre dapat laging my space for improvement and i know that i am NOT PERFECT! i AM NOT. lolz..

so how's the talk went through? ganito.

he explained to me kung ano ung mga nasa papel, ano ung ginagamit na software/application to calculate those things. so after that, pinakita nya sa kin iyong mga tickets ko for the past months. and okay, hindi ako 90%. ahahaha.. pasensya, ill try to close all the tickets na in time promise. then sinabi rin nya ung mga dapat na ginagamit na config sa mga tickets. then iyon, inexplain din nya ung nasa paper. actually wala naman akong reklamo dun eh. kasi as always i am blunt again na un talaga ung nakikita ng tao sa paligid ko eh di okay.

so far, wala naman daw cyang nakikitang negativity sa aking work behaviour. ^_^

and sabi rin nya na i am not leaving the office until the issue is not resolved. and i know how to communicate and take care of the client daw. wink wink..

then he asked me about what i can say sa lahat lahat. workmates, paligid, ganun.

1st stop: si big boss! si amo ni boss amo. si sr manager. sabi ko I DONT LIKE HIM. ahahah
honest opinion sabi nya eh. and i told him that i dont think he knows how to take care of his people. and he doesnt even care. and i also told him na we have a running joke that whenever that sr manager is going to our places, it feels like the stress level is going up even if he is not doing nothing. and i compared him to the previous boss. sabi ko unlike that person that knows how to interact with his people, the new boss doesnt have that trait. and i also mentioned that on the first meeting that we had before, he said right away about the BONUS and we need to exert more EFFORT even if we dont have a good 8 hrs of sleep every day because of manning the queue. :D baet ko noh? hehehe

2nd: si workmate. sabi ko i noticed that he is used to pass tickets to my one workmate na pinoy. and i told my boss amo na for me it doesnt look good. because the ticket has been assigned to your name then when the deadline is near you are going to reassign it to the other team members. so i said its kinda off to me. but i also said i dont know their set up kasi they both do the Technical Review and the RTP.

3rd: si boss amo. told him that i appreciate the time that he did not left me when i had an issue dun sa isang application na hawak ko. and sabi naman nya hindi daw talaga. so i appreciate that and also i said na he knows how to take care of his people unlike the sr manager. ahahha

other things, wala na. iyon alng naman ung nakikita ko, and a i said na mas comfortable na ko today compared before na kapag my issue nangangarag talaga. hehehe..

so anong epekto ng pinagsasabi ko? hindi ko pa alam.. ahahaha

IM JUST BEING HONEST and THEY ASKED ABOUT IT. :D

Back from Cameron

2009-09-07T05:38:00.000-07:00

just came back from Cameron Highlands. left around 1:45 PM after we had lunch in a chinese resto with big servings - as in really big.

reached KL sentral around past 6 pm and took a cab to went straight home. kinda tiring in the trip even though we rode the VIP bus (VIP meaning your seat is a coach and good for 26 people only), its a little bit expensive from the ordinary bus.

right now, i need to clean my room and its really a mess.. another thing is my lil bro sent me a text message asking for money again but this time for my father cause he doesnt have any work. i'm still thinking if im gonna give money or what.

one thing is that i told my brother that they cant reached me anymore using the numbers that i have, so i need to think if im gonna reply or not.

good thing we dont have work for tonight. ^_^

Cameron Highlands

2009-09-06T09:18:00.000-07:00

After Phuket and after 3 days of work in the office, I'm out from the city again! ahaha.. right now i am four hours away from the city if you take the public bus.

Cameron Highlands is like our Baguio in the pHilippines. but unlike in Baguio, this place is not that polluted. and even though a lot of establishments in the area - Starbucks, MaryBrown, etc, this area is not that crowded.

Updates tomorrow again when i come back to the city.

Phuket 2009 - First Day

2009-08-29T09:10:00.000-07:00

first official day ng Phuket Tour.. so where ang first stop? island hopping.. geared with all the swimming stuff we headed to Marina Bay. nandito iyong boat na gagamitin sa pag island hopping. from Patong Beach to Marina, it took mga 30 minutes drive cguro before we reached ung Marina Bay. pagbaba pa lang ng van, sumalubong na agad sina kuya. akala ko nga bisita din sila pero un pala cya ung tour guide. nagpalit ng sched because of the weather kasi medyo maulan and the plan to go to phi phi island didnt push through. instead island hopping na lang. ung itenerary ng 2nd day naging first day. all in all, 11 kami sa boat. 7 pinoys, 2 taga UK, 2 indian from singapore. ang dami naming napuntahan na island.

my mga napuntahan din kami na mga cave sa ibat ibang island. napuntahan din namin ung sinasabi nilang James Bond na island. the name was derived from the James Bond movie, kasi they shot daw some parts of the movie on that island.

maraming island na napuntahan and na enjoy ko ung canoe. :D

i said kay kuya if i can try na ako mag-paddle and he agreed. from start to finish ako ung nagpaddle. nagpunta pa kami sa parang cave na nasa gitna ng mga bundok na bato. then nagswim din kami sa isang island before going home.

umuwi kami from that island hopping ng around 4 pm. kahit maulan, maaraw, maulan at umaraw ulit, SOLVED ung trip na un. sobrang saya. ang baet pa nina manang and nung crew. mga british ata sila. hehhee..

so were gonna see them again in Monda para sa Phi phi island naman and we hope na sana maaraw na that time.. ehehe

so pano un na muna.. ^_^

missing the housemates

2009-08-16T22:26:00.000-07:00

usually hindi naman ako ung tipong nakakaramdam ng homesickness. especially pag napadpad ako sa malayong lugar and for months ako nag stay dun. like for example, i went to US twice and i stayed there for 3 months or so. pero wala akong homesickness na naramdaman, maybe because i know that i will go back to manila in due time.

this time, while working here in malaysia, more than once na ko nahomesick. kanino? hindi sa family ko. hindi sa relatives ko. but dun sa mga kaibigan ko. sa mga housemates ko. for the past two years sila ung kasama ko sa house. sila ung family ko na. papasok ng sabay, uuwi, gagala, lalabas. mag aaya ng movie, dinner, whatever, nanjan lang.

i miss them. i miss the apartment. i miss the kulitan. i know that i cant bring it back anymore. all i can do is to treasure those memories that i had with them. times when we are staying at one unit and sharing each others life. nakakatuwa lang isipin na dahil sa first US trip ko, nagulo ung relasyon ko sa pamilya ko but then i found these real friends of mine. new set of friends ika nga. pag tinignan mo iyong mga pictures, ung mga gala, nakakatuwa and nakakaiyak. sana meron pang susunod na mga gala. and i hope na kahit di na tau housemates and officemates, we can still communicate pag my bagong happening sa bawat isa. hehehe..

isa lang ibig sabihin ng entry na ito. homesick ako sa mga housemates ko..

Josh, Jo, Ja, Ms. Goldie, Albert and Vic, thanks for the memories..

stress to the maximum level

2009-08-12T20:21:00.000-07:00

kainis!! my office day started at sunday again.. kasi naman my prod physical server move sa US. so need kong isupport ung application ko, to make sure to shut it down properly and to bring it back online. actually, dapat stand by lang naman ako, meaning nakatengga lang sa office, in any case that they might need my help, they can call me. eh potek! nasa bus pa lang ako, tinatawagan na ko. where are you? are you in the office? do you have the access to this box? can you shut it down.

ang sagot ng modelo? please give me 5-10 minutes to walk going to the office. i do have the access and i will shut it down once i reach my desk. so ginawa ko? hindi pa ko naglalakad talaga at nasa bus pa nga ako.. ahaha.. so ginawa ko? paghinto ng bus tumbling ng 100 times.. OA ... ahahha.. tumakbo ko papunta ng office.. at pagbabang pagbaba ng laptop ko at pag open, di ko pa makita ung email na instructions para sa pagshutdown. eh well, basta i did what i know. lolz.. shinutdown ko ung apps pero kusang nag-u-up. aahahah.. so ang ginawa ng modelo? force shut down!!! lolz... hahha.. so iyon nga.. nagulat kasi ako na ako pala ung gagawa ng mga bagay na iyon though sa plan na sinend nila is wala naman ung name ko sa mga my gagawin.. okay, cge na.. ako na.. so ginawa ko na.. nasa call ako.. wait na malipat ung server sa kabilang building within two hours.. so i stayed in the office ng mga 6 to 7 hours.. then hindi na ko nakatulog ng matino ng monday.. goodluck naman... so gising ako ng mga 2 pm pa lang ng monday and ang pasok ko is 11:30 pm pa.. hindi na talga ako nakatulog.. naka naman!

so pumasok ng Monday. my issue. hindi ko alam gawin.. investigate to the max effort! boom! my error sa database connection.... pano gawin un? tawag ng DB admin.. adivise.. gawin ung inadvise.. boom! ibang error na naman.. pano na ito? hindi ko na alam!!! tanong sa senior wala din daw alam.. so what now? effort na naman.. tanong sa taga US... bakit naka down ung ganito.. hinalughog ko ung buong admin page ng site, at my nakita ako na un ung cause ng error.. so sabi ko, this is it.. pag inopen ko ito at boom! tama nga! p*tang*na.. nakakainis.. alam mo ung feeling na alam mo ung error pero di mo alam pano isosolve? un un eh.. ang bigat.. feel so bobo.. badtrip!

tapos nagpameeting pa ung mga taga palasyo,. ang oras? 10:00 - 11:30? naka naman! panggabi po kami.. hello.. wala pang tulog? dapat my 8:30 am umuuwi na kami though dahil my issue na naman, late na kmi nakauwi.. anong oras? 3 PM... so taxi na pauwi.. bayad ng mga 500 pesos.. pag uwi.. sa sobrang pagod nakatulog ako ng 8 hrs!!! nagising ako ng 12:30 am!!

wala naman akong reklamo sa trabaho ko, pero ung tipong appreciation lang ng sobra na kmi sa oras, thank you man lang.. mga ganun sana.. ewan ko.. minsan kasi parang tap your own shoulder na lang.. pero gaya nga ng sabi ko, sa lahat ng obstacles na dinadaanan ko ngaun, i will gain from it.. mas natututo ako at mas nahahasa ang pagiging modelo ko. ay mali pala.. ang pagiging support ko..

buti pa ang mga kamahalan sa estados unidos, ung mga nasa palasyo, nagpasalamat sa ginawa naming migration. special mentioned ang mga names.. kakatuwa kasi.. ung tipong kahit pagod ka na, pero alam mong na appreciate ka at nagpasalamat - nakakagaan pa din ng feeling di ba? so un..

at nung isang gabi, nag defense ako kay sr boss amo.. dahil daw ung sa issue ng db ko at kung ano ano pa.. bakit daw di ko nasolve ng apat na oras..blah blah.. i feel na ako ung may kasalanan.. pero ano nga gagawin ko, i did what i think is alam ko na.. ni wala ngang tumulong di ba? alam ko naka up naman ung mga application ko..

panget lang cguro ung choice of words and the delivery. kasi laging nasa isip BONUS.. kainis.. milyones ba ang bonus? aba'y kung oo.. cge pag iigihan ko lalo para ung BONUS natin milyonaryo na ko kaagad.. ^_^

kala ko "nap" lang "tulog" na pala..

2009-08-08T22:51:00.000-07:00

it happened yesterday.. the schedule that i had kasi is after office uwi muna sa house then punta ng mall to watch nga ng GI Joe. since night shift, umalis kami ng office ng around 9 am then pumunta kmi ng mall ng mga 11:30 pm cause the showing time is 12 noon. after movie late lunch na sa Chilis. so konting ikot lang sa mall. then my event pala ung isang application an hawak ko, so need ng umuwi, mga 5 pm na un. so from Friday night ng 10 pm up to that time wala pa kong tulog.

so uwi sa house, bukas ng office laptop, connect sa VPN. naayos naman cya in less than 5 minutes.. aahaha..

so un, tapos pumunta kami sa malapit na mall dito kasi kukunin ko dapat ung contacts kong inorder. well wala pa rin daw. so nabadtrip na ko dun, kaya nagswimming na lang kami sa pool. natapos ata kami ng mga 9 pm na. so dinner tapos pahinga ng unti..

eto na, sabi ko magfoformat na ko ng laptop ko.. para naman marelax ako from all the stress that i have from work. so i went inside of my room and made the back up for my files, since Vista OS ung laptop, you know naman how kupad ung pagcocopy sa Vista right? so nakasulat sa screen mga 4 hrs, so i decided to take a nap muna... so the light in the room is still open same with the aircon. ung pag idlip ko na un ng around 11 pm i think is nagdire diretso na till ngaung morning.

nagising ako ng 8:30 am.. so mga 9 hrs na kong tulog nun.. i think binawi na ng katawan ko ung pagod at puyat ko. tapos nag CR lang ako sandali and i went back to my room, sabi ko nahihilo pa ko sa antok and i think i really need to take a rest. so i switched off the light and natulog ulit ako..

nagising na ko ng mga 11:30 ulit. parang nap lang pero super tulog na pala ung ginawa ko. hehehe

the birthday week

2009-08-07T17:58:00.000-07:00

that week was my birthday.. and that week also is my duty for being the on-call person.. cyempre patayan na naman.. wala na naman akong matinong tulog.. my mga issue'ng dumarating na hindi ko alam.. hahaha.. okay, first thing kasi hindi naman ako full-pledge na umattend ng training para dun. kumbaga, sariling sikap lang ang mga alam ko.. hehhehe.. pero iyon nga, ung mga issue na dumarating kasi sa akin - sabi nga nila - bonggang bongga.. iniisip ko na lang mas matututo ako sa mga pinagdaraanan ko ngaun para sa aking kinabukasan..

okay, medyo marami ang issue that week. ewan ko ba.. pag ako ung on-call talagang blockbuster. my pinakialamanan ako sa prod server na naka apekto ata sa ibang cliente. then nag meeting kami at kinausap ung buong team ni senior boss amo regarding sa nagawa ko. actually, nagsample pa cya na pag my gagalawin daw na ganito ganyan sa prod eto ang mga dapat na meron at forms. actually, i feel bad na nga eh.. that time kasi parang wala naman cyang tulong na naextend. he is not the type of boss you will look up to. first thing, he doesnt care so much about his people. his magic word? BONUS. if we did not do our best sa work daw, walang bonus.

more effort and more effort pa daw. eh halos hindi na nga kami natutulog pag on-call. well, un nga.. that time ang sarap ng sumagot na sabihin na lang nya na example ung nangyari sa kin that time, kasi iyon din naman ung tinutumbok nya 100 percent. after that meeting, pinaiwan nya kami together with the other people who help me. so explain to the maximum levelness. nag explain talga ako kahit hindi na maganda ang nakikitang hitsura ko. naiinis na kasi ako eh.. so iyon.

maraming naganap nung week na iyon. low self esteem. lahat lahat na.. wala kang nakikitang appreciation sa ginagawa mo pero feeling mo sobrang exhausted ka na, hindi lang physically and mentally pero emotionally. one good thing is mga pinoy kasama ko at mga friendly friends.. nababawasan ang bigat ng nararamdaman sa mga binibigay na hassle ni lolo.. ahhaha

pera

2009-07-25T09:02:00.000-07:00

minsan sa buhay ng isang tao, pinapangarap nya na magkaroon cya ng mga bagay na wala cya. sa isiping kapag nakuha na nya ang mga ito ay magiging masaya na cya. lilipas ang panahon. dahil sa pagsisikap at pagtitiyaga, makukuha nya ang mga bagay na dati ay inaasam asam lamang nya. ngunit sa panahong nakuha na nya ang mga ito, may mga bagay na nagbago.

hindi na katulad dati na simple at payak ang pamumuhay. ngayon nakikihalubilo na sa mga kumplikadong tao at sitwasyon. hindi na lang ito ang isipin ng ngayon at bukas. ng kakainin at ng tutulugan. kundi isang mas seryosong bagay.

ano gusto kong palabasin sa post kong ito? wala naman..

hindi lahat ng bagay ay nabibili ng pera. pero sa mundong ginagalawan natin, sabi nga nila - pera pera lang ang labanan.. ikaw magkano ka ba?

qumoquota

2009-07-20T09:32:00.000-07:00

last week qumoquota ako sa trabaho. kamusta naman, more than 12 hrs in a day akong nagwowork para lang sa mga issues. suffocated na ko that time potek! monday midnight pa lang pumasok na kami sa office kasi my deployment, then umuwi kami ng mga 5 am. so sunday was fine. then after that monday came, sunod sunod na. blockbuster ang mga tickets. sobra sa dami. OA sa exposure..

so cge lang, merong mga application na bigla ako pala nagsusupport. but wait there's more. sabay sabay na talaga ung mga issues. so cge lang, para matapos na extend extend, ultimo sa bahay nagtatrabaho. ang nangyayari na lang is konting tulog, 2 - 4 hrs per day tapos prep na ulit papasok ng office. and im telling you, mahapdi cya sa mata. ung tipong kakapikit mo pa lang pero need mo ng gumising agad. and ang mata ko nagluluha cya talga even nakapikit. kasi nga mahapdi talaga and alam kong stress.

so thursday, from 11:30 PM, ang uwi ko na is 3:30 pm the following day. quotang quota di ba. walang lunch un sa tamang oras, nag lunch ako mga 9 am na. so okay, after nun uwi na para makapagpahinga kahit ilang oras lang.

then nung night nun, pumasok ako ng 12:30 am na, kasi naman cyempre 11 pm na ko nagising sa sobrang kapaguran. so pasok. tapos my bago na namang issue. so this time ibang application naman. the whole day namin cya dinedebug nung US counterpart na support din, what happened kasi the application will be up for 20-30 minutes then after that magdodown cya, but when we check naman the server, its running naman. so we really dont know what to do next, what i did is i open a service request to IBM to check on what is happening with the application.

the sad thing about is, the customer rep is asking a lot of question and i already told her that this is a Production issue and it needs to be address as soon as possible but still the whole day has passed without anything happened from them. so what i did is i sent an email to the contact that we have from IBM.

The day is almost over, and we did not receive any help from IBM support.
We don’t know where to look at anymore on these issues.
The Cognos is being up for 20-30 minutes after restart and goes down again.

We are getting different errors when we restart it.
Can someone look at this issue right now?
The COGNOS is UNSTABLE for the WHOLE DAY.

inemail ko talga yan sa knila. naiinis na kasi ako, pabalik balik kami ng support from IBM. hindi daw kami matawagan or what. alam mo iyon? PRODUCTION na itong nagloloko. hindi namin alam ano nangyayari.

naubos ung isang araw ng walang suppport, from IBM USA napunta ang magsusupport sa amin sa Australia, and eto pa, magtatapos na rin daw sila ng shift nila so in an hour or so ibang tao na naman ung magsusupport sa amin. hayz..

natapos rin ung issue after 3 hours sa phone, and sa paguusap na un, 2 hrs ang nasayang sa pag-aayos lang ng application na gagamitin nung taga IBM. hay talaga naman. at halata na rin na inis na ko pag nagsasalita ako, sinasabi ko na wala bang ibang puedeng icheck sa ganito ganyan.

nakauwi ako that time 4 pm na from the office. sagad-sagaran. and ung dapat na manonood ulit ako ng HP hindi na natuloy dahil nga sa napako ako sa opisina.

good thing hindi ako iniwan ng manager ko. nakakahiya nga kasi alam ko antok na antok na cya but still he opted to stay here in the office to support and help me. then after that, sabi ko monitor ko ung issue pagdating sa house, which i did naman. and ang malupet, hinatid ako ni boss amo sa my KL, sa mall na pupuntahan ko. lolz

at dahil nga feeling ko gamit na gamit ako for the past week, i treated myself in a good lunch sa Chilis. and iyon.

sunday we attended a mass sa KL and went sa Pavilion mall. we had our dinner sa Thai resto.

and today dumating ung weekly report ng oras ko for the last week, and i recorded 90+ hrs in my work and all of the tickets that i worked on. san ka pa? quota na!

*Note
as i read it again, i noticed a lot of errors.. lolz

hindi ako PLASTIC!

2009-07-15T00:45:00.000-07:00

at hindi ako marunong magpaka plastic! nakikita sa mukha ko kung inis na ko. ramdam sa bawat galaw ko kapag hindi ko gusto. oh eh ano naman ngaun? mundo ko ito eh. wala lang pakialamanan. lahat ng tao my sumpong meron din ako.

my kasama kami sa work, lately kasi parang nawiwili na cyang magpasa ng magpasa ng work. pagawa dito, pagawa kay ganyan, hanapin mo ung file na hinahanap nya ganito ganyan. alam naman natin na hindi ganyan magwork ang pinoy. siguro medyo nainis na lang ako sa ganung gawain. iyong tipong pasa ng pasa ng trabaho. walang masamang magtanong, pero iyong tipong iyong tao na un na ung naggagawa ng work, well iba na iyon di ba?

eto, my pinasa kasi cyang work sakin. my aattend-an na meeting then gagawin ung dapat gawin. magmomove ng bagong customer sa Production. so maraming dapat gawin. so cge lang! go! ako na daw gumawa kasi ako naman nag perform ng Technical Review. okay cge, so ibig sabihin tatlo RTP ko na hawak.

multi tasking ako along the way, wala pa namang meeting. so habang nagbabasa ako ng document para sa isa kong RTP, bigla cyang lumapit sa table ko. sabi nya sa akin "dial 1-800 balh blah" na medyo malapit sa phone ko na tipong gusto nya cya na magdial or maybe cya na nga ung pipindot. sabi ko "wait", my iniisip kasi ako sa binabasa ko at puno ang utak ko. sabi nya ulit "dial 1800 blah blah" at talagang cya na pipindot sa phone ko.

so dun na ko medyo nainis. naintindihan ko naman ano sinabi nya di ba. one is enough two is too much. grabedad naman. hindi naman ako bobo para di ko maintindihan ung sinabi nya, ultimo mga ordinaryong tao sa pinas alam ibig sabihin nun.

at dahil sa inis ko nga, napasabi ako ng "WAIT" as in CAPS lock! ramdam mo na my inis ako. ahahah.. so bigla cyang "oops, sorry". so umalis cya sa tabi ko at ginambala naman ung isang kasama ko. so nung dumaan ulit cya sa cube ko, well ganun na ulit, sinulat na lagn nya ung number sa document ko, and eto malupet, ako ung nasa last discussion! lolz.. excited to the maximum level kasi.

hindi naman sa nanghuhusga ako, pero cguro napuno na rin ako, at my mga bagay na kong hindi gusto na nakikita sa kanya. oo, marami cyang ginagawa. marami rin kaming ginagawa. buti nga cya isang application lang hawak nya. eh ako? ilan ba? 3 application ang sinusupport ko. pero narinig ba nya akong nagreklamo sa gawain ko? hindi naman di ba? naiinis ako sa mga problema ng application ko at sa mga tao na gumagawa ng problema ko, pero di ako nagrereklamo sa trabaho ko.

bad na ba ako? lolz

T'eksi and Drivers

2009-07-12T06:04:00.000-07:00

ang kwentong ito ay ang pakikipagsapalaran ko sa mga teksi ng Malaysia at sa mga driver nito

sa totoo lang, mas better pa ang taxi service sa pinas compared dito. alam mo ng mahal ang ibabayad mo pero ung mga ugali talaga nila napipikon ako.

90% ng mga taxi dito pag ung pinara mo lang, pepresyuhan ka. oo, though my meter naman sila. presyo na times 3 or 2 ng ordinary meter charge. ang nakakainis pa, hirap ka na ngang makipag usap sa kanila, sila pa ang maarte.. grrrr!

eto pa, pag morning kumuha kami ng taxi sa my bus stop, sasabihin nila 5 RM na agad, mga 65 pesos na un, para sa 2-3 kilometers na takbo. at ang malupet sa bus stop ka rin ibaba!! naka naman oh! kaya nga nagtaxi di ba? ayaw ko ng maglakad papasok sa loob ng compound ng condo dahil sa puyat ako. kaya nga taxi is para ihahatid ka san mo gustong pumunta. katamaran nga naman!

tapos sasabihan ka pa, when you take the bus you will pay 1 RM, so i will just drop you at the bus stop. kainis di ba? GAHAMAN mga taxi driver dito. gahaman na kung sa gahaman. at ang pinaka mahirap my ATTITUDE problem. sinabayan pa ko.. bwiset!

mOvInG here and there

2009-07-12T06:00:00.001-07:00

nabobore ako sa loob ng room ko. sa ayos ng room and sa loob na mismo. hindi ko alam anong kulang, hindi ko alam anong mali. pero parang meron. so kahapon, when i got home after watching a movie sa my Mid Valley, mga around 5:30 umaalis na naman ako ng house together with Russ para pumunta ng Sungeiwang (?) isang mall sa KL.

ang balak kong bilin:
a. BedSheet
b. Curtain
c. Cover ng Window (para di pumasok ung light sa loob ng room kasi i sleep at daytime).

un lang naman ang bibilin ko dapat. and nakabili din ako ng pangcover sa headboard nung kama (sa lower part ang dumi and panget kasing tignan).

so far so good, maganda naman ung naging resulta ng pag iikot ko ng mga gamit sa loob ng room. sana tumagal naman cya kahit one month. :)

and eto pa, nabobore na rin ako sa laptop ko. gusto ko na naman cyang ireformat. tsktsk.

Taglish - even before

2009-07-10T12:29:00.000-07:00

i read from the internet this conversation in taglish ( this is from Butch article in Philippine Star), so meaning even before pa more than 20 years ago, they know the "conio" language..

Ariel: O, Tina, you look so ganda today.
Tina: I’m not really feeling well today. I feel sick. (Jokingly) Sick and tired of Ariel.
June: In that case, it’s me and Ariel na lang who will do the show. You go away na.
Ariel: But even if she’s may sakit, ‘no, she’s ganda pa din, di ba?
June: Sayang. You didn’t see her in the fashion show in Malacañang last night. Tina was modeling and the other models made apak-apak on her cape.

reading the above conversation, it makes me smile and make tawa.. lolz

Checking OUT and IN

2009-07-08T14:53:00.000-07:00

this is the continuation of my hotel experience here in MY. so review muna. first check-in ko sa sunway pyramid then after that check out from there and transfer to Sunway Duplex. so 1 week in Hotel and the rest of the month in Duplex.

first night i got a problem. why? di ba nga ung credit card ko. they want me to pay the rental from my personal credit card eh di ba nga the company will shoulder the expenses on that hotel, eh iyon. then good thing gumana ung bpi card ko, kasi mga max out na card ko - i know im a spender. so i got in on the first night, the second night same scenario. what they did is to activate my keycard just for a night and i need to go to the receptionist everyday just to check if my keycard is activated or not. cyempre iyong mga things ko nandun sa loob eh. so the first day ko sa office, i told the HR what happened. i know that there is a miscommunication on this one. and i experience the hassle that it have. and i dont like it so much!!!! hahahaha.. i am so broke that time tapos my mga ganung issue pa,. hayz talaga.

so the day came na magchecheck out na ko. and i need to transfer sa kabilang unit which is the Duplex. eto ang malupet, i need to check pa rin daw sa receptionist what time i can check out cause the other unit (Duplex) will be clean first before i transfer, so they told me mga hapon daw. so okay with me. i went to the mall muna (sa baba lang ng hotel) and watched a movie and i just told the receptionist to call me when i am ready to transfer. so habang nanonood ako tumawag! ahaha,. sabi ko later na lang mga 6 PM. so iyon. buti na lang magchecheck out na ko sa hassle na hotel na iyon.

so nasa lobby na ung luggage ko, then ung guy from the Duplex nandun din,. eh kilala ko cya kasi regular ako sa Duplex and nakikitulog din ako sa mga kasama ko, hehee, so nilapitan ko cya sabi nya my guest daw sila na magchecheck-in and wait daw kami ng bagong sundo. sabi ko sino winewait nyo? and he told me my name! ahahaha.. sabi ko ako po iyon. magtatransfer na ko sa Duplex, kasi kala nya taga duplex na ko dahil lagi nya akong nakikita dun. so ayun nga..

pagdating ng Duplex, tour sa loob which is i know already what to expect dahil nga sa regular ako sa ibang unit. so wala ng masyadong explanation at all. and un lang, need ulit nila ng credit card for deposit, sabi ko full na both ng card ko. i'll pay na lang in cash if ever need my bayaran pag check out. eh di pumayag naman cya.. ehehhe..

so sa Duplecx, i chose the Master's Bedroom. ako lang muna kasi ung nandun. the following day pa kasi darating ung mga kasama ko ring Pinoy. hehehe.. at ito ang malupet sa room na iyon. SIRA ang AIRCON!!! dalawang aircon na un ah, hindi nya mapalamig ung room sa temperature na gusto ko (16 degrees). hay naman talaga. pero okay na rin naman kesa sa Sunway. hehehe..

mas feel kong at home ako. naging smooth naman ung pag stay ko sa Duplex compared sa Sunway. hehee..

the TRAIN

2009-07-06T00:56:00.000-07:00

at maling train ang nasakyan ko pabalik ng house! lolz.. kasi naman i did not read the sign in front of the train and i forgot that it has two directions going back to my place. sorry naman, tao lang. why i know na maling train ung nasakyan ko? there was this station na parang central station, parang that station is the one na magsasabing okay from this point two directions na, eh i know that the train i should take should go to the overpass going to the right side eh the train went underpass and went to the left side. so compose pa rin ang modelo, then i check the map inside the train whats the next station, so the train suddenly stopped, eh hindi naman ako puedeng basta basta bumaba, so i checked the next station, then i told myself na kapag ang name ng station is this one, bababa ako ng train and go back. true enough, i am on the wrong train! ahahah.. kasi another thing, medyo mapuno sa part na iyon, parang masukal. ganun. so bumalik ako ng platform sa kabilang side to take my turn going back di ba, and pagbalik ko ng central station my train sa kabila, and i think iyon ang train na dapat kong sakyan, so sumakay na ko (even though im not sure 100 percent kasi baka bumalik ako sa KL, and ung isang train na sinakyan ko ang papuntang KL, so again ang burden ko dito is baka pabalik cya sa maling way kasi di ko nakita ung sign sa harap ng train,. ahahah), so standby ako sa loob ng train, and im making sure na nakatingin ako sa daan and dapat magtuturn right cya, so okay naman.. kasi nakauwi din ako after,. hehehe

at least ive learned a lesson from riding that train, its just that i forgot that train has two lines going back. :)

24 hours awake!

2009-07-03T07:35:00.000-07:00

yep yep.. since my shift last night, i am officially 24 hours awake. why oh why? last night we had a shift for 8-9 hours in the office, so we went out around 9 am to go to the embassy of the Philippines. i went there just to know where is it located here in Malaysia and another thing that ive accomplished was i registered myself to the absentee voting. i dont know how it works but i still need to wait for the voters id that will be coming from Manila.

next stop was lunch. chilli's in Suria LCC is the place. had a great lunch and talk with the guys. after lunch was over, we went inside the mall and yes, went shopping. i bought pants from Lee, polo shirt from Adidas and another Polo Shirt from Padini (local brand i think). then i also bought a facial bar soap from Clinique and i think its not expensive for 78 RM to think that i can use that for 6 months. so more or less 20 RM per month will be consumed by my face for the bar soap. :)

after that, had a snack at A&W. Coke Float!! Coke Float.. lolz. went to M&S but the lotion and the piece of cloth im looking for is not available. tsktsk..

anyways, there are other shops that we checked out. after that, we went straight ahead to the train station and from other train station, we took a cab going home.. :)

thats it for now, im so sleepy.. night!

new layout / update

2009-06-30T22:20:00.000-07:00

hep! i've got a new lay out. though it ate a lot of my time before finally i ended up using this theme. nto bad naman right? well, i really need to sleep na cause its already 10:21 pm (SCX time) and i still have work for tomorrow.

this job that i do have right now is kinda tough. i dont know. but i know that i can do the job given with the right training and the right people. its so hard when you dont know when to go to and you need to make a decision right away. and most importantly, you dont know if that is still part of your job. well, what to do, lah! lolz

oh well, i just wanna thank my Lord God for taking care of me and giving me such talent to cope up with my work, i know that sometimes i neglect Him but deep in my heart, He's my bestfriend and the only one that i can run to any time.

so till next time guys!

here are the list/entries that i need to place in my blog:

1. checking at Sunway Resort and transferring to Sunway Duplex
2. Sunway Theme Park getaway
3. Genting Highlands
4. Perhentian Island

we have a new boss

2009-06-24T17:02:00.001-07:00

we have a new boss. hindi na iyong dating manager na dinatnan namin ung boss namin this time. kelan namin cya nameet? last night nung shift namin. why? nakipag meeting cya eh. alangan namang tumanggi kami, eh boss cya. ahahaha..

my situation last night is nadedepress ako.. oo.. eh sa nadedepress ako sa nangyayari eh.. alam ko naman na kahit sa anong kompanya my mismanagement na nangyayari pero ewan ko lang. hindi ko talaga gusto iyong ganun. para kasing di nag iisip ung mga nasa taas. or ang mas mahirap puro pera at kumita lagn ang gusto nila. wala na silang pakialam sa tao nila.

so iyon nga nadedepress ako.. kasi nung isang araw my issue kami. hindi naman cya MALAKI. iyong mga files lang naman ng CLIENT is hindi nasesend dahil my error sa SERVER. hindi naman cya malaki di ba? lolz. sarcastic na ko .. ahahaha.. so nagreport na ko sa mga kinauukulan para gawin nila ang nararapat na aksyon. ako naman nakakuha ng E4 or ibig sabihin need masolve within 4 hours. eh sa wala naman sa kin ang bola kundi nasa Network Team (sila ang umaayos ng gusot), tinagawan ko ung tao na nag open ng E4 at pinakiusapan na ibaba ng R1 (1 day) ung ticket kasi we are investigating now and working on the issue. pumayag naman cya. naclosed ko ung E4 2 minutes before ng DEADLINE. TWO minutes. ayaw kasi ipasara ng HELPDESK. hayz.. so iyon nga..

so pumasok ako ng office kanina, actually the past few days wala na kong matinong tulog and kain. i think this is also one of the reason kung bakit ako depressed. so iyon nga. pagpasok ko, inaaayos pa rin namin ung issue. nakikipag usap na ko sa Network Team sa US and sa support ng application. bigla na lagn my email na bumulaga sa akin. need ko daw gumawa ng ERR (error) report sa E4 na naganap last night. eh? hindi naman nag exceed ung time. un pala nag escalate na ung nag open ng ticket sa mga ROYAL FAMILY sa US. mga MY HIGHNESS na iyon. hindi lang basta bossing. so ngayon, my point is bakit ako mageexplain ng isang bagay na hindi naman ako ang may sala? dapat sa Network Team pina explain un hindi sakin. malay ko bang nagfafail ung router, at broken ang link ng IP address? eh hindi naman un ung work ko. so yan ung one reason bakit ako nadepressed.

tapos si new boss.. nagsalita na. regarding sa statistics namin. team standing. below 50% kami. oo. mababa. dapat nasa 90% un. pero below 50%. inisip ko nga ilan na ba ang nalate kong ticket - less than 5? mga kasama ko hindi naman din nalelate. pero nung nagsalita na si bagong boss amo, need daw namin iwork out un. na pataasin un. hindi daw kasi maganda. makikita ng management. wala daw kaming bonus. un na! dahil pala sa bonus? hayz. dumagdag lang cya sa depression ko na parang wala kaming ginagawa. eh halos di na nga kami nakakatulog ng matino di ba para lang magbantay ng queue? tapos makakarinig ka pa ng mga ganyan.. sinabayan pa si first depression. nacheck na ba nya ung counterparts namin sa US kung ano ung ginagawa sa mga ticket nila? eh long overdue na kaya ung mga ticket nila. halos buwan na kung late. kami araw lang.

ang hirap lang ng feeling na pinapamukha sa iyo na wala kyong ginagawa. at nafefeel ko na hindi cya sincere. parang pinaplastic nya lang kami and wala cyang paki alam sa mga tao nya. tipong "I want the results with high numbers, and i dont care how you do it. either you sleep or not, the numbers MATTER". ganyan.. ganyan ang naramdaman ko sa kanya. kita sa mukha ko ang pagkadismaya kanina sa meeting. pasensya na hindi plastic na kayang magtago kung ano nararamdaman ko.

hayz.. goodluck na lang.. kailangan ko lang makakita ng malaking pera. OO. pera pera lang ang labanan sa ganito. lahat my katumbas na halaga. tapos ang sweldo pa ngaun wala ung night shift allowance. wala ung reimbursement. wala ung sa baggage. kamusta naman di ba?

KAILANGAN ko ng PERA. MALAKING PERA.. hahaha. ganyan ako kadepressed. hahaha

my muscles say ouch!

2009-06-21T11:48:00.000-07:00

why? cause i played badminton yesterday. yep. my first play here in malaysia. sir poli invited us to play but then it turned out that it was only the two of us (xel and me) who will play - minus the person who reserved the place. hehehe..

well, it was a good play. after how many months of playing badminton, i think im gonna play it again here. im planning to buy a new racket this coming weekend. and iyon nga we played last saturday even though we did not take any nap or sleep yet after office.

and now my muscles aches! kaya pala di ako mkatulog ng matino. hehe

Happy 3rd Anniversary

2009-06-21T11:39:00.000-07:00

before i forgot that this month is the time when this blog comes in full force (bakit my ganun.. hehehe) lets celebrate the 3rd year of existence of this blog in the net.

so pano? let's celebrate! ^_^

its been ages!!

2009-06-21T10:57:00.000-07:00

oo, tama. dekada na yata ang lumipas simula ng huli akong magkwento dito sa blog ko.. why oh why? kasi di ba, matakaw ako sa tulog. gusto ko pag wala akong ginagawa is either matulog or maggala.. pero iyon nga, and another factor is sa panggabi ako.. why? busy sa work. ganito kasi yan.

my everyday routine.

* gigising ng around 9:30 para kumain ng breakfast (unang kain)

* around 10 im taking a bath na to prepare for work.

* 10:30 prep na para umalis ng house (kasama ang aking mga friends / housemate din)

* around 10:50, nag aabang na ng bus sa my train station papasok sa office.
* 11:35/11:40 arrival at the office.

* start of work

* 3:00 to 4:00 or 4:00 to 5:00 lunch time

* 9:00 alis na ng office..

sometimes, even sa house i am working. depende sa load and kung gusto ko talaga matapos iyong work agad. minsan kasi ang hirap. mahirap maghanap ng nawawalang file sa environment. goodluck naman di ba?

so yan ung everyday routine ko. and upon arrival sa house ng morning, magsasaing na kami ang magpeprepare na ng food for dinner. gahaman ako sa kanin ngayon. gusto ko kumakain ako lagi ng kanin at gusto ko rin marami. ^_^ minsan naman pag morning bumababa kami sa old town para bumili ng noodles or ng sandwich. depende sa mood.

what time ako natutulog? around 12:30. at gusto kong natutulog iyong busog ako. why? for sure hindi ako magigising ng dahil sa gutom ako and dire diretso ang tulog ko. before kasi nagigising ako pag nagugutom ako. kahit anong antok ko basta nagutom ako nagigising ako.

yan ang mga usually na nagaganap sa aking buhay ngayon. and iyon pa pala, i bring my laptop everyday. para akong pumapasok sa school na dala lagi ang laptop - pag uwi at pagpasok. and medyo mabigat cya. hehee.. i need a new bag na nga. and nagsscout na ko ng design. although my nakita na rin naman ako sa samsonite website, hindi ko sure kung mabibili ko pa iyon. need ko munang unahin bayaran ung aking credit card. lolz.. kasi hindi lang isa ang gusto kong bilhin sa site. hehehe.

so yan.. yan ang aking buhay dito ngayon. though hindi pa naman ako nabobore. okay pa naman ako and im still enjoying my work. mahirap kasi pag nabore na ung isang tao di ba? hehe..

question: pag nag "po" ba ako sa isang pinoy meaning ba hindi ko cya ginagalang? though it happened sa office. i said "hello po". unprofessional ba iyon? leave your comments ah.. ;)

Leaving Manila - to work abroad

2009-05-14T16:04:00.000-07:00

after 3 weeks of being away from the philippines, here i am again on my blog to tell you the story that i had the time when i left the country to work abroad.

i left Manila last April 25, 2009. Scheduled flight is 3:30 pm, since we are in Manila, we are required to be there 3 hours before the flight in Ninoy Aquino International Airport. We had the service of Malaysia Airlines to bring us here in Malaysia.

the flight was delayed. the scheduled 3:30 pm flight was transferred to 7:00 pm flight. 3 hours late eh. we were 8 all in all. we just knew each other at the airport, but of course aside from the people that i already knew because they were my friends.

luggage checking - one hell of a line. yeah. so loooooong! i think they just used 3 counters for check-in and that is the reason why they are so slooooowww. when i reached the line near the counter there's an officer weighing the baggage of the passenger (this includes the hand carry). okay, i had my laptop bag with me and my hand carry. so he weigh the hand carry and weighs much than the allowed kilograms. he asked whats inside my bag and told him "a laptop". then next is my big luggage. im over again, around 10 kilos. Malaysian Airlines from Manila to Kuala Lumpur only allows each passenger a free of 20 kilos of luggage.

we went to the other counter to pay the excess baggage. bad thing happened. the credit card line is no use. we need to pay cash. oh my oh my.. okay. we were broke. we only have limited amount of money on our hands and this thing happened. anyways, do we have a choice? if we wanna get and touched base malaysia and start working our ass off, we need to pay the price the airline is asking us. we paid the excess luggage in cash. and we borrowed money from other people.

3 hours of waiting and they only served sandwich. yeah. one piece of sandwich and a refillable drinks. i thought to get the whole can of coke from the guy who served it but then it would be much from me to do that.

we boarded at 7 pm. landed at Kuala Lumpur International Airport between 11 - 11:30 PM. went through the immigration process and at first i got a tourist visa stamped on my passport. the lady didn't notice the visa i have in my passport. so i went back and they asked some papers. after that we went out to look for a cab. and yeah. they charged us 151 and 75 RM for the two car (one van for the luggage and some peepz inside and a small "teksi").

reached hotel around 1:30 AM. exhausted and tired. next entry, my problem with the hotel. the only lucky guy who was separated from the group and the only person who got trouble checking-in.

busy as ever.. pero antok.. :(

2009-05-12T16:00:00.000-07:00

grabe.. how i miss writing on my blog.. bakit naman kasi hindi na ko masyadong nakakapagsulat? dahil sa ako'y panggabi at busy sa training.. yep.. remember, wala ako sa pinas ngayon at ako ay nasa ibayong dagat at nagtatrabaho bilang OFW. naman!

well, im really starting from the scratch. since the work im doing right now is different from the job that i do in the philippines. from beign a developer to support. what would you expect di ba? but of course, i need to learn new things na rin.

update sa buhay buhay - always busy. since panggabi nga, around 5 am low bat na ko at napapapikit ako.. buti na lagn my reserba akong mga tanong para kunwari bibo. hahahaha.. and one more thing, maganda kasi conference call ang training. ahahha.. first time ko ito.. lolz

sa bahay, still not decided where to live. sa KL ba or in a place between KL and work? kasi we're lookign for a place na accessible sa transpo. so medyo mahihirapan kami if ever laging taxi. no use din na we work abroad para kumita ng malaki kung mauubos rin naman, ayt?

hmm, ano pa ba? bills bills and bills.. ung mga bills ko sa pinas di ko pa naaayos. ahaha.. pagdating ng sweldo, cguro tipid mode na to the maximum level! hehehe..

ano pa ba? antok na ko.. ahahah.. daming diniscuss. dumugo na utak ko sa kakaingles.. naman! so pano? see you next time!

night shift.. second week

2009-05-05T16:55:00.000-07:00

i started my second week on a night shift. actually ngaun nasa office pa ko, for the whole 8 hours merong alloted na training to attend to. sa pitong miyembro ng team ko, hiwa hiwalay kami ng training.. grabe! dumudugo ilong ko sa ingles, bwahahha! joke lang! kasi panggabi na nga english pa di ba.. hehehe.. pero ang talagang kalaban ko lang naman is ung antok, dahil pag tinamaan na ko di na ko makapag focus sa pakikinig sa taong kausap ko sa telepono.. yep. through telephone conference ang training. goodluck talaga di ba?

sana lang makuha ko ung sapat na tulog mamaya para di na ko antukin. sa bahay naman, naghahanap pa rin kami ng apartment na puede naming tirahan na accessible sa public transpo and medyo malapit sa office. di pa namin alam san kami makakakuha at sana meron na ung fully furnished pero wag masyadong mahal.

so iyon na muna ngayon.. gutom na ko!!! waaa

here!

2009-04-25T19:47:00.000-07:00

this is it! good morning good morning! :D posting from Sunway Resort Hotel Malaysia.
ayun naman bakit my ganun.. ahahaha first post sa labas ng Pilipinas at bilang isang OFW.. actually kakagising ko lang a while ago. naka bawi na rin naman ng tulog and pagod for the past two days.. ang hirap mag empake ng mga damit.. and then on tipid mode ako talaga.. as in todo talaga. kasi short ako and kami rin ng mga kasama ko..

ayun, marami pang naganap.. from the airport to the hotel.. grabe! pero regarding papers in working okay naman kami.

so ngaun, medyo bumawi lang kami ng tulog, then later alis kami para pumunta ng grocery store.. grabe! ang daming nagaganap.. waaa.. ayoko na dun sa hotel ko.. gusto ko ng lumipat para dito ko sa duplex... huhu..

two more nights

2009-04-23T08:59:00.000-07:00

update lang

2009-04-15T23:05:00.000-07:00

konting update lang. during holy week nakapag rest na rin ako and had a vacation sa province. so far so good, sana thursday or friday this week ako babalik ng manila but the agency called and required to submit some papers that they need for the embassy. and also nag PDOS na rin ako or ung Pre Departure Orientation Seminar. ang daming tao dun. parang feeling ko nga kami lang ung mga bata dun ng 2 kasama ko. kasi ung iba mga mukhang "mature" na.

so now, need ko ng mag empake pero iisipin ko pa ilang shoes, bags, jackets, and damit ung mga need ko. kasi pag di ko na dinala ipapamigay ko na lang sa mga relatives ko. so iyon.

another problem, need ko ng malaking cash. more or less mga 30k. wee.. ahahaha. kaya im selling my laptop ng rush.

im planning to go back sa province pa - bataan and batangas - para sa official goodbyes. pero cguro sa bataan mga 4 days before my flight.

i still have less than 2 weeks na lang. first sana i can sell my laptop na para i can buy all the things that i need (bakit kasi na max out na ung card ko both arrgh!), tapos ung pocket money ko na rin dun.. heheh

so pano? till next update!

Happy Semana Santa 09

2009-04-08T10:57:00.000-07:00

i will be out of the Metro for a while. and that means i wont be able to check the cyber space on what's happening in here. i will just take a vacation for a week or so, depending on the papers (calling Philippine Embassy again in MY!!), cause i know i will spend less when im in the province compared here in the Metro ayt?

and also, i just notice that after two years its the time again that i will experience the Holy Week in the philippines. for the past two years, i was in the US. and i dont have time to celebrate this occassion since the people in the US didnt practice it. usually we just stayed at the hotel or we go malling/shopping.

and lastly here's my prayer for this season:

Lord God, thank you for all the blessings that you give to me. Thank you for taking care of me and giving all my needs. On this time of the year, let me say it to you from the bottom of my heart, that i am so thankful and grateful for all the blessings even the trials that i have in my life. I know there is a reason. Lord God, i lift up my life unto you, you know where i will be heading. You know what you want me to do in this world. May You guide me on the right path and show me the way.

Lord God, please bless also the people who are very dear to me. You know who they are. Keep them safe and take care of them just the way you take care of me all this time.

And lastly, FORGIVE me for all of my sins. For i am only human and not perfect. i always commit daily sins. May you forgive me my Lord God. Thank you for everything.

And thats it. Happy Easter Guys!!!

For those interested in the laptop, you can still send me a message on my phone. ^_^

Government Agencies

2009-04-07T05:59:00.000-07:00

did you ever experience a delay in the services of any government agencies? iyong tipong they are not touching your papers for some reason, one is there are people inside who are too lazy to move and process the papers in time. it was like they're gonna work on this tomorrow because its already quarter to five, situations like that. nakakainis no?

the main reason why ako naiinis is because my plan is not falling into its places. and why? because of the fu**ing embassy of the philippines in malaysia. nakakainis. sobra. its been a month since we signed the paper and ready for processing but until now we dont have any news (well we do have - the paper is still with the embassy). guys!!! move!! work!!! dont fool around.. there are some people here waiting for their job abroad. another reason for you to be ashame of. a lot of people are working abroad to profit more for their kind of job they are doing. these are the people na sabi nyo nga are helping the economy, but what kind of services do you offer?

im still thinking. gano ba kalala ang corruption sa government? pano ba ang pamamalakad ng mga ahensyang ito? alam ko kasi kailangan "maglagay" ka sa nasa loob para bumilis ng "konti" ung papers mo. when i say konti mga less than a week. sanay na ko dyan. hindi lang ako kundi ang sambayanang pilipino.

hindi ko rin alam what are the processes that is included in their system. pero ang tagal kasi. nababagalan ako. its been a month! and hindi ako sanay ng walang ginagawa guys.. and dahil sa mabagal nyong pagkilos - wala.. bum muna kmi for a while.

sana lang before 25, makaalis ako. the SOONER the BETTER..

merong mga pangarap na naghihintay ng katuparan pero dahil sa serbisyong ibinibigay ng gobyerno ay nahahadlangan.

D.E. for HIRE?

2009-03-29T04:17:00.000-07:00

bkit my ganung title? bakit for hiRe? callboy ba ko? hindi naman ah. lolz!!! pero cyempre my kwento sa likod ng title na yan.. it happened last thursday..

i woke up past 9 am, wag ng kumontra - programmer at flexi ang oras sa work, so nagprepare na ko for my work. naka aalis ako ng house magte-10 am na.. mabilis pa rin akong kumilos kahit papano.. ahahaha.. since magteten na and marami akong gagawin sa office - BUSY and MAP DEV ngaun - sabi ko magcacab na lang ako. so punta ako sa kanto kung san daanan ng mga cab.

so eto na:
pagdating ko sa kanto, sakto my cab pero nilampasan ako. eh sa intersection before ng kantong kinatatayuan ko, traffic pa and ipit pa ung mga sasakyan.. take note at this time i have a earphone on my both ears, so medyo mahina at my sariling mundo ako. tapos biglang my mabagal na REVO na parating. next is huminto cya sa tapat ko.. akala ko naman magtatanong ng direction kasi baka nga naman nawawala. so binaba nya ng konti ung window sa my passenger seat and he was murmuring something, so i remove my earphone and said yes?.. lumapit na rin ako ng konti but not sa mismong tapat ng car nya para lang marinig ko ng maiigi ung sinasabi nya. so eto na sumagot na si manong, and he said "do you need a ride? ng padiretso?" so cyempre ako nagulat talaga di ba. so i quickly replied na "ay no, hindi po".. so umalis na cya and ang bagal pa din ng takbo nya..

and good thing nag go na ung mga car dun sa intersection and nakapara agad ako ng cab within one minute.

kamusta naman di ba? ano bang mali sa suot ko? naka slacks, naka leather shoes, naka long sleeves, mukha ba kong callboy na pinipick up lang? well, un lang naman naiisip ko at bakit ako hinintuan ni manong, unless mabuti talaga cyang tao at nag offer lang ng free ride. pero nah, hindi po ako sumasama ng basta basta.. my pambayad naman po ako ng cab that time. ^_^

nakakatawa kasi first time kong magawan ng ganun. i said nga dati pag mejo late na umuuwi and someone asks me kung pano ko uuwi, i replied na tatayo na lang ako sa kanto and maghihintay ng car na magbababa ng window and papahatid na lang ako.. lolz. but i never imagined that it will happened talaga..

so iyon.,. lastly - mali lang ng timing si manong.. kasi umaga un! ahahaha.. programmer po ako sa umaga.. baka sa gabi pa natapat un, puede.. lolz.. if the price is right.. half a million.. bwahahhaa

Lavandera

2009-03-24T22:48:00.000-07:00

my nagcomment sa blog ko na anonymous at nag-iwan ng pangalan na -Lavandera Mo-. the comment has been made on my post about missing clothes times two.

here's the complete comment posted on my blog:

I don't think it's fair enough to judge a small business that they're getting clothes(expensive clothes)from customers. I've been in the laundry business for more than 3 years now and sometimes there are really cases that clients will look for their clothes even if they were delivered few weeks ago.
We do have a checklist and we list all the clothes that we received from a certain customer before we wash them, that is to be sure that we won't miss anything.

-Lavandera Mo-

just to make it clear, i never directly mentioned in my post na the laundry shop itself is the culprit of taking my clothes. ang sabi ko po dun, nawawalan na naman ako ng damit. and i dont know why it happened. as you've said nga po, yes there is a list and i am aware of that. i actually see that list. and when i made a report to the branch, the lady asked me if the piece that is missing is in the list. i said yes. nakita ko cya na nandun sa list. but dun sa mga damit, wala talaga. that is why i made a report and told them about what happened. i also described the cardigan, how it looks like, the color and the brand itself. ang sabi nung una, take note that they told me this, naalala daw nung girl na my inalis na damit sa plastic ng mga damit ko kasi "medyo basa" pa daw - which is ung cardigan nga dahil medyo makapal ung damit na un. tapos nung bumalik na ko sa branch para itanong kung nasan na ung damit (the time that they told me na inalis daw sa plastic ung damit is wala daw dun ung taong nag alis, tatanungin pa daw), sabi daw nung tao is binalik na daw sa plastic ko ung damit na iyon. but wala nga talaga.

unang una, hindi po ako mageeffort magpunta sa branch na iyon at maglakad para lang magreklamo ng hindi naman totoo. and secondly, im not that type of person po. i will gain nothing if i do that. and hindi ko ugaling magsuot ng damit ng ibang tao. its never been a practice of me. iyong mga damit ko is pinapa-pick up ko sa kanila, so there is really no reason para pumunta ako sa branch na iyon ng wala talagang importanteng gagawin.

the lady got my cell number, sabi nya bibigyan daw nya ko ng update sa nangyari sa damit ko. so i waited and waited. ayoko ng tumawag kasi i will get nothing naman sa pakikipag usap sa kanya at mapipikon lang ako. wala rin namang resulta lagi - based sa mga dumaan na araw.

first week of december 2009 when it happened. march 2009 na. my nakuha ba kong text or tawag from Lavadera Mo kahit isa? WALA po. sabi ko nga sa girl, kahit ung Cardigan na lang ung ibalik, wag na ung boxer shorts. kahit hidni na makita iyon, pero wala na talaga akong nakuhang response from them. and i know si ate na nagpipick up ng damit ko, hindi na ganon ka-accomodating and based sa facial expression nya parang napipikon cya at naiinis. ako din naiinis but im trying to control it. bilang pag respeto sa nakatatanda sa akin. i never shouted kahit sino sa staff. maayos akong nakipag usap. iyon nga lang, wala talaga akong nakuhang response mula sa kanila. at hindi na bumalik iyong damit na hinahanap ko.

puedeng napasama sa ibang customer ung damit ko. there is a possibility. hindi ko alam. and for now, ayun po ung sagot ko sa comment na nasa itaas.

cafe

2009-03-21T00:23:00.000-07:00

sobrang busy sa work kaya pumasok ako ng sabado para gawin ung mga naiwan kong gawain last week, pero sad to say hindi ko pa rin nagawa dahil hindi ko alam anong mali sa mga files na pinaprocess ko dahil as far as i know they are valid inputs, and i should be expecting an output on that folder. pero after dropping nga the test files, ni wala na kong nakitang bakas ng anino nila sa alinmang folder sa buong system at hindi ko rin cya makita kung nastuck lang ba cya somewhere so that i can do adjustments if ever, pero wala talaga. so no choice ako kundi mag wait till next week and i will send an email to our counterparts and ask what seems to be the problem on my testing.

tapos ung isa namang SA, grabe! as in sobra na cya. i know naman na we need to process all the test files that you have but it doesnt mean that i need to edit that and put some valid values to make that input file work. sobra naman kasi. dinebug ko na ung input mo, nirun ako na. i already made some adjustments to the system to accomodate your ids, still it produced an invalid output and you want me to debug why it generated an invalid output? why dont you try compare your input to the mapping rules so that you will know what to expect and if ever find a need to do some modification to the map. hay naku. sobra na kasi. dapat work nya un, i wanted to help pero wag naman exploitation. lolz.. kung kelan resigned na ko saka naman nagaganap ang mga bagay bagay. tsktsk..

im done na rin with my medical, but i still need clearance from a derma kasi i have some problem with my skin. alam nyo naman na hiram sa science ang katawan at mukhang meron ako, so i need to go to the derma pa to get that clearance and make sure that i am fit to work abroad. ang hirap no? kasi my mga ganun ganun pa pala. ahahaha.. dapat perfect ang ating mga magigiting na OFW. hehehe

busy as ever

2009-03-18T00:31:00.000-07:00

yep. busy as ever ako ngayon. pero still can blog, lolz....what really happened for the past few days na ba? eto po:

saturday - went to Makati Med for the findings ng sakit ko - which is kung meron man - but then the doctor told me what i had daw is viral infection lang. konting explain explain.. ganyan ganyan.. tapos i also told him about the condition of my tooth for root canal, he also checked that and he told me that the tooth looks okay. then after that, pina xray nya ako. he asked me when was the last time i had my chest xray and told him that it was last year pa. so he gave me a request and went down to the Radiology section of Makati Med. i waited din ng mga more than 10 minutes.

after ko sa MMC, i went naman sa Medical Plaza, the one in Amorsolo, yes, iyong malapit sa MMC. actually nilakad ko lang cya. then i went sa information and looked for a dentist na covered ng medicard. then when i went upstairs afternoon na raw ung next schedule, so i asked kung okay lang bang dun na lang ako magpapa-appointment for the afternoon sched, she said okay lang naman daw. so i went home, bought my lunch and kumain na rin ako sa house. after that, antok pa ko so naka idlip ako sa sofa ng mga 20 minutes or less. nung chineck ko ung watch ko magtwo-2 pm na almost. so nagpalit na ko ng damit kasi i felt na amoy pawis na ko dahil nga naglakad ako. then nagcab na rin ako going to the place kasi sobrang init.

so nung nasa clinic na ko, binigay ko ung card and vinerify nila sa Medicard what are the services that i can avail. so after nun pumasok na ko sa loob, at humiga sa dental chair. when i say higa, nakahiga talaga ung chair. lolz. so chineck ni mr dentist ung ngipin ko and nilinis na rin nya, tapos meron rin cyang pinasta na cguro mga 4 teeth iyon. medyo mahal nga lang iyong pasta kasi nasa 1200. pero wala naman akong pain na naramdaman even though walang anesthesia. ang nakakatawa lang, si doc sobrang close ng mukha nya sa mukha ko. natatawa talaga ko deep inside. eh kasi naman hello sobrang close. parang intimate moment. so nakatingin na lang ako sa my ilaw. after ko dun, nagbayad na ko ng more than 3k, hindi kasama dun ugn mga benefits na na-avail ko. so after ng nakakapagod na araw na iyon, i went home but dumaan muna ko ng grocery kasi nagugutom ako at bumili ako ng 3 pint na ice cream. hehehe.. ayan ung weekend..

sa work naman, busy.. maraming dapat gawin pa. kanina nga ang aga ko eh, 8 AM pa lang nasa office na ko kasi my call sa US people. hehehe.. tapos meron na rin kaming bagong team member, at ako ang naatasang magturo. sana bago ako umalis he can work and help na rin the team. actually, pinagmamap ko na cya. hahahaha.. and marunong naman na kasi. senior naman kasi cya and tagalog naman kasi ang turo ko so madali naman intindihin di ba. tapos next week ko ididiscuss sa kanya ung mga ginawa nyang map.

lastly, hindi pa ko nakakapagpamedical. waaa.. eh kasi naman.. basta busy ako.. at ayan, sige aaminin ko na..

------------ R E S I G N E D -----------------

na po ako.. nagfile na ko ng resignation ko.. and actually ayoko pang magbilang ng araw. hahahaha.. kasi cyempre ibig sabihin nun iiwan ko na itong team ko.. hay.. nakakalungkot.. mamimiss ko ung barahan natin.. lolz.. basta mamimiss ko sila. cyempre di ba.. as ive said ibang level na rin naman ung bonding namin. so iyong mga makakating dila, wala ng makukuhang tsismis kasi sinabi ko ng resigned na ko. and ung mga nasa US nageemail na. dahil sa inyo kaya ako magreresign! lolz... dahil sa mga taong katulad nyo.. bwahahahaha.. actually di lang naman dun un lahat.. gagawan ko ng ibang entry ito bakit nagreresign ang isang tao.

so ngayon, busy-busyhan muna pero busy talaga. hahahaha... so yan.. di na pala ko susweldo so need ko ng income kaya im selling my phone. sana my makabili na. lolz.

Still SICK

2009-03-13T07:15:00.000-07:00

yeah, im still sick and i really dont know why but of course i have an idea where it is all coming from. i experience chills in the morning usually 3 am and 6 am. but then in the morning im back to normal and i take biogesic for this chills for the past days.

i already went to the doctor yesterday and i waited so long cause she's late - more than an hour. and then when i came back today for the results of my blood test and urine, the lady told me that the doctor is late again and that i will be accommodated in the afternoon. but i have some work to do so i headed towards the office to do my task. and i do have lot of things to do. sigh.

i had a blood extraction and urinalysis yesterday. i really do hope that i can go back to the dentist as soon as i can and have the root canal be performed. why is it so mahal kasi? grrrr!!
