Entries for April, 2006

waaahhh

march 29, 2006 marked the end of my academic years. yay/huhu. wahahaha. pauso ko lang yan. grad rites was a bit of a joke. haha. imagine: the rites were ongoing and... half of the senior class were out of their seats taking pictures.  that's what you get when you let 800+ hyper active seniors graduate without a single day of practice. hehe.

and april 3, 2006 was my first official day as an adult. waaahh. that's why i can rarely log on now, that's why i aam suffering from blog withrawal syndrome, and that's why i am walking around most of thee time nowadays with my lids half-closed (a result of waking up in the wee hours of the morning just so i'll get to the office on time).

real life is nothing like school. really. i've only been working for three days and i felt the difference about 5 minutes into our orientation. but before that lemme say the good news first: predictably enough, they placed me in a technical support account. webhosting. yay. so its like hitting 3 biggie birds with one stone:

:: high-paying job

:: web-related

:: improve my oral communications and people relation skills

all my personal and professional goals: check, check, check.

so i get to learn all about web hosting. i can't wait for that. but i have to pass the assessment test first. haha. i'm a little nervous about that.

this job is way harder that even i thought. they showed us these target figures and damn, my head ached just looking, so don't ask me to explain it. and it isn't anything like school at all. responsibility is kind of a big deal, now that i'm no longer studying. slacking off is no longer an option, there won't be a next time to pull up your grades or whatever. a simple slip could mean the end of your dreams.

but it's okay. contrary to what most people would expect from me, i really like working.

the bad thing is, it really cuts into the time i spend with sweetheart. i'm so thankful that we are more mature now that we were when we were starting. otherwise, we really would be in trouble.

thanks, sweetheart, for being so supportive. and for being understanding. and for always reassuring me. and for making me feel beautiful.

yu make me miss you so much. i love you.

TRAINING SNIPPETS

we just got our log-ins today which means we can access our 10MB free web space. i'm not too fussed about it, but still, i think i just have to figure it all out and i'm all set.

technical support=multitudes of passwords to memorize. arrrhg. it's boggling my mind. it's a bit of a problem with me, especially since i'm kind of not so great with memorizing stuff. damn, i even have trouble remembering my friends' birthdays.

training's cool. i'm learning a few cool stuff, but it's getting more and more confusing by the day. there are all these tools and passwords that we all have to know how to use otherwise we would end up messing the account.

one thing, though. at the start of our training, we were given these 2-inch thick handouts, very much similar to our good old Political Dynamics one, and i swear that never in my whole life that i felt excited upon seeing a two-inch thick handout. heck, i'm can't even excited with 3-page handouts. deppressed, more like. not to mention that we have to pass all these assessment tests and stuff. i'm kind of nervous about that.

after i let go of other opportunities after i signed up with this company (like Arj's HSBC opening and George Cabig's offer that i tag along with him as his writer when he goes out for shoots), i felt a little off, but i'm so totally back on track.

it suddenly came to mind that sometimes, blogging could either be really hazardous or it could be a really funny experience.

the thing with blogs, is that you never really get to look over the other side. all you see is this one space and all you have to consume is the things that author is spewing out.

so when you get a blogger who walks around whistling and with a big "one-sided" sign tattooed on his/her forehead, then.. tsk.

or maybe, there are just some chaps whose egos are so big, they are only capable of looking at what is bad about others and what is good about themselves.

time for a little reality check.

i miss you dy.

shopping day's coming soon.

i love you!

ako'y nagbabalik

[start=channeling the communications skills of a PBB Teen Housemate]

oh my god, like, training is so hard ha, diba? like, there are lots of tools that we, like, have to memorize. omg, so kakaloka. like 10 passwords, like, hello naman daba, and super multi tasking talaga, like hello? i'm naloloka na really here eh.

[/end of kagagahan]

hahaha. do teenagers today really talk the way those teen housemates do? i swear, if i were in there and i had to stay inside that friggin house for six friggin weeks, i'm gonna suffer apoplexy from sheer irritation. no kidding.

our instructor's gotta be the nicest one in PS. we are so lucky because other instructors, as we've heard, seem to be fail-happy. he wants everyone to pass, and often gives incentives so that everyone could scrape through. cool.

it's only a matter of knowing what you deserve.

i know a lot of women who, inspite of all the abuse and emotional turmoil being in a not-so-happy relationship brings, still satys in that same position that they are in. they whine, they groan, they complain, they cry. they question why. they throw tantrums. they dwell on these i-am-such-a-martyr-because-i-love-him mode, and then they cry about it.

there are lots of reasons why relationships are unhappy: abusive partners. cheaters. physical/emotional torture. and so on and so forth. believ it or not, i've seen it all. i even experienced most of them. and these experiences, i'm thankful that i had them. they were the pieces of the puzzle that make up the person that i am today.

it's only a matter of knowing what you truly deserve.

that's the best advice i can give to anyone. sure, i've had my share of i-am-such-a-martyr-because-i-love-him phases. lots of it. every kind of cheating anyone could ever imagine, i've experienced that. my ex had a third party: yep. my other ex had two other girlfriends that i found out only after we broke up: yeah. i am the third party: been there. i became a desperate uto-uto for an ex who kept me hanging: done that.

but i've decided that i deserve better. and it made me so much happier than i was.

because now, i've got the best.

GY ako ngayon. miss ko na mga tropapips ko dito! halo sa inyong lahaaaat! amisyu ol!

[[edit: 4:40 am]]

Paradise Philippines

The Philippines is an archipelago with over 7,000 islands located about 805 km off the southeast coast of Asia. The Philippines has several wonderful vacation spots: Boracay, Baguio, Palawan, and lots of other paradise-like haunts. Join us as we take you to the wonders of Paradise Philippines.

Filipino Pride


The Philippine flag was first conceptualized by Emilio Aguinaldo. The first flag was sewn in Hong Kong by Marcela de Agoncillo, her daughter Lorenza, and Dona Delfina Herbosa de Natividad, a niece of Jose Rizal, the Philippines' national hero. The flag is displayed with the blue field on top in times of peace, and with the red field on top in times of war. (Source: Wikipedia)
