last night, we had dinner with the peepz, ate russ mamimiss ka namin! pagbalik ko d2 wala ka na. hay.

ingat ka dun ah.

basta next gala natin, MALAYSIA na, wahahaha.. im so excited.. :)

busy..

i am a lil bit busy nowadays. so i dont have any entry on my blog for the past week. hay. sana i can make kwento of all the thing that has been happening to me. basta balitaan ko kayo.

oo nga pala. update sa US trip. nakapagpabook na kami sa hotel and my sasakyan na rin kami. thanks kay kuya tey. hehe..

baka my mag iinvite sa inyo sa US? hehehe

the reason...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and this is the status that i have:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ayoko ung feeling na hinuhusgahan ka mula ulo hanggang paa.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

VISA

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

end of my career...

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

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

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

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

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

so busy...

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

okie?

work..work and work..

so tired. my mind is not functioning properly again. sigh. i dont know what to do with the loops. waaa.. help me! i think i need a rest especially that i had my shift yesterday 24 hours! i am now back in the morning shift but i continue working till the next morning. sigh, had a less than four hours sleep and then went to the office to continue my pendign work but got here around past half two. so i am on leave today officially but still working. sigh. dont know what to do.

i enjoyed bolinao so much! :)

etc.. etc

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

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

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

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

para na kogn magkakasakit. hay. ang init ng pakiramdam ko.

hard disk..

i bought the external hard disk yesterday, and thank god to the SL pay. i mean our Sick Leaves are converterd into cash. but can you imagine, the TAX that they got from me is more than "four thousand pesos" . grabe! and a total of more than "six thousand pesos" in one payroll. aside from the tax from our SL, the usual tax from our salary every payday. ang laki ng binawas nila! and i really felt bad about it. i mean, we should pay our tax but not that high. sigh. so un.

i finished my one week night shift. and i can say, kaya pa. hehehe.. and there was one incident, i sent a message through a communicator ( office communicator) to one person, our counterpart and told him that i have a query about my project that night. and he asked me if i was in Manila ( he was from the US), and i answered yes and he also asked what time is it, so i also answered 3 am. then he told me "what are you working so early?". hahaha.. and i replied taht we are on a night shift doing projects and to suppport. hahaha.. he just said cool.. :p

till here.. david edward

got home...

i just got home and had my breakfast. and right now im here in front of the computer and typing this entry. new? yep! cause this will be the first time that im going to post from home. well, its just that we have a DSL connection. actually, its not an issue to me either we have an internet at home or not. because at the office, i can surf the net with no cost. and my nieces are just renting or sometimes buy an internet card to use the internet at home. and i just got news. the maids (the mother and the daughter) will be leaving today and ate asked me after i took a bath if i can check their bagages. and now i can look for my lost things! ahahahaha... joke,. im just gonna check it and no more. and i wish they did not get nothing from us.

about my work, well kinda hectic the past 4 days of my night shift. we dont have a break. we continue working the whole shift so that the work gets done. but the problem is our counterparts. i dont know what do they want, sigh. its so hard na to think especially at the middle of the night that your brain surrender from functioning. sigh..

till here.. david edward signing off...

night shift..

nasa ikatlong araw na ko ng aking night shift. mejo okay okay naman. kaya lang cyempre hindi naman maiiwasan na minsan eh antukin ka in the middle of your shift. kahit na natulog ako from 10 am to 6 pm. imagine, that is 8 hours of sleep. but what makes the difference? it is the environment around us. in the morning, there are lot of people around us, nagkakagulo d2 sa office. maingay. but now, were only 4 from our teams, and we are so silent. hahaha.. so what would you expect? even me, i admit that when silence attacks, i cant help but to close my eyes and have a rest. but of course bawal. hehehe.. dami pa naming gagawin, kakainis kasi ung client eh.

about my sleep naman, i always wake up around 3 pm. eh i need to have more sleep para hindi ako antukin,. eh nakakainis lang kasi eh. ewan ko ba sa katawan ko. hehehe

Night shift..what a day!

what a day had passed! it was a night to remember! wee. joke! i dont have an idle time the whole time of my shift and i extended three more hours to do the same work but to no avail. we still did not solve the issue of the status for the 850 and 810 maps. sigh. so to continue now what were doing last night, i hope we will have a better result.

to the visitors, ill try to visit ur blog one at a time.

godbless.. davidedward signing off...

friday work overnight

been here at the office since yesterday and to tell you, hindi pa ko naliligo. hmm, i dont smell pa naman that bad, :p.
hindi ko kinyang mag support 24 hours! waaa.. suko ako.. i slept around 6 am, and that makes me 20 hours on duty at work! tsk tsk. and the only amount im gonna receive for that is 400 pesos. no OT pay. just MTR (meal and Transpo) for the 4 hours OT (without pay). not fair? then tell the admins. sigh.

and because of the ngarag factor taht we experienced in trouble shooting the problem of the maps, im not thinking the same way the last hour of my so called "duty". im sending a message for the wrong person, dont know what im typing in MOC. hahha. forgive me folks! its just my mind give up and tell me to rest. and now that i have a more than 2 hours sleep under my cube again, i can go to mall! hahaha.

so lets see, whats waiting for me next week on my night shift. oh did i tell you that i will be on night shift the next two weeks? well, yah. because of the go live of the Henkel HST. to support that thingy and do whatever urgent matters arises that need an attention. so, i think my monday will be challenging, since i have a 2 new map to be submitted on that day. sigh. goodluck to poor edward. hahaha.. joke..

so till here. see you, next week.. :)
