My Busy Day

This Sunday, March 02. It is one of those busy times for me. It started early in the morning when I needed to be early at church for teachers orientation. Thankfully I was on time and not late. Yahoo! I maintained my straight attendance. The speaker was our senior pastor’s wife. She taught us proper etiquettes on teaching, grooming, discipline on students and more. Well most of them are just reminders for us teachers and practical things. Sometimes it is also good to keep on refreshing us and reminding us that we need to learn again and again even if we are very familiar with it.

After the devotion there is my class. Today I was in charge of the activities and games. The game I had prepared is that I have a set of pictures. And each student will have that picture and make stories in order of seating arrangement connecting each picture with one another. It was really a wacky activity and they kept on laughing. How wild the imagination of those kids is when they use it.

After that class I have my one on one bible study with one of my friend. Also after that a bible study group. We talked a lot of things and really break some but serious conversations with wacky side comments. After everything have been discussed we set out to eat lunch. It was one of our member’s birthday a few days back and he is going to treat us to lunch. We ate a lot and a lot of food until we cannot eat anymore.

After that, I need to meet with my friend because we have to interview a friend that we will make a video presentation. So I went to starbucks to meet with him later on. While waiting for him I am writing this blog to past the time. Well hope the activity for tonight would be a light one cause I also want to rest and go home. J that’s it for today..byers.

My very own Black Hole

My officemate came from Cagayan De Oro, well she bought a little gift for us. It was bread with filling inside, YEMA. It was really delicious and fresh. we talked about how is her experience over there. and so on. When there was one time the topic went on placing the food on the company refrigerator. Some of my officemates mentioned that it is not a good idea. Our refrigerator is like a black hole. Because when you put your food in there the next day it is no longer there. Some other people are eating it.

My stand on that part is that what nerve. hehe. Our office has a friendly environment and a really good place to work at. But to have that mentality that we can not just leave our food on the ref because they would be gone for the next day really destroys the image. I really do not like those kind of people/ghosts. Eat and get what is yours. do not just assume that it is free for the taking.

Our office of course generous. They give free drinks, coffee, tea, and so on. Sometimes free pizza when ordered. but of course there are limit on not getting the things of other people. Well anyway i really do with that the black hole in our ref would be remedied. It can be frustrating and not ethical to take other people's things. hehe.

My Brief Work Experience

Well another exciting day at the office. I am a software developer, specialty on JAVA. I have been doing several projects at a time and a little confusing at times but I love the challenge. Shifting from web applications, to SNMP projects, and diagnostics modules really makes a person dynamic. I am really happy cause I can make design decisions or suggestions on certain projects, specially on SNMP projects. I am new on that field, and just started to explore everything like clearing, traps, walks, agents and a lot of things. I usually don’t read books but was force to read books to have better knowledge and understanding. In the end, it paid off and I learned a lot about this technology in this field in a short period of time, but still aim to learn more.

Few months back then I remember I was having troubles sending snmp traps, then when I started sending traps, I am having troubles in making it 3GPP standard, once they are standardized I am having troubles of clearing, and to further customize the use of HPOV and it keeps on going and going, one at a time I would learn all this one step at a time.

Currently I have two project managers. We are designing our SNMP module, one manager is the reserved and quiet type that cracks jokes to break the ice. The other manager is the hyper active type. That when you talk to him, all time is put into hyper drive. Both of them are good managers. And listens to my comments and suggestions, they knows my schedule and respect my work hours and after work hours. I remember on my previous job that my manager does not even listen to whatever you say. With my current manager, they understand that I have a lot of social things going on after work. And they do not demand that much just right workload for the day, as long as I finish my work I am good to go. Well, with the previous one, Over Time is equals to Productivity. Really don’t understand the logic.

Well on my next entry ill share about my wacky co workers that are worth mentioning hehe. Have a nice day.

My not so good day

Yesterday, it was the first day of the week. I am really not feeling myself. My usual self is calm, fast to grasp the situation, always game to do stuffs. But yesterday I was a little sloppy, cant think straight, and have no appetite. I do not know what made me that way, but thankfully I picked up in the afternoon. Maybe still sleepy and haven’t rev on high gear at work.

Anyway, was planning to go to my friend last night with my hon, however he is not available, so we will go tonight. It turned out that I would just meet up with my hon at SM.. but she is meeting with her friends so I told her I would wait for her, to pass the time. I decided to have my hair cut,

The salon shop, I really hated it. Poor service, and lousy cutters. They use second hand towels. And I told them that I wanted a new one. It really irritates me people do that to their customers. I had my hair spa just to relax and kill the time, well. I really killed time and they left me for a very long long long time. I got uncomfortable, fortunately for me I played games on my Pocket PC, but got bored after waiting for so long. I also had my haircut and it turned out from bad experience to totally worse, I looked like a mushroom. I just told them to cut the sides. In the end, I asked for a second cut because it really looks awful. The final result, my hair is too short. But acceptable compared to the mushroom head. I am also forced to use hair style to at least make my appearance more presentable because its too short.

When I met my hon at SM. Was planning to go to Watsons first to buy gel, well I accidentally bumped into her. And I told her to ill got to Watsons first and spend a little time with her friends and just call me once she is done.

Well the bottom line, I wont go back to salons again and would just trust the trusty old barber to have my hair cut. And of course wont go back to that salon shop. Forgot the name already. But it is along Tayuman Street really frustrating.

Well that is my day but when my hon and I are together, we went to starbucks to drink and spend time together. Well, didn’t shared much. I shared just all my frustrations with that salon. But in the end enjoyed time with her. We went home early and spend a little time in her house. Chit chat and when it was late I went home. Just a short time spent with my hon made my day really happy. J

My Sunday Date

Me and my hon watched a movie yesterday at SM Lazaro. We watched the movie, Jumper, overall it is not that impressive and well, not a good movie to watch. The story is lousy and really has no sense. Its cool though if you have that kind of power where you can go to any place you want to go.

After the film, we ate dinner, usually we have problem picking a place to eat but the craving is strong for Super Bowl. So we ate at super bowl. We browse the menu, and the waiter is standing in front of us, well I was uneasy and I asked the waiter that we will call them once we are ready. Ordering food took us some times, I want to eat a lot while my hon wants to eat a simple meal. We keep on changing orders. At first I thought I was going to go nuts with the changes, but I calmly said, “Ok, what is our final menu” In the end, she ordered the lemon chicken meal with ice tea, while I ordered the Dimsum Platter with two siopao.

While eating she popped out the question that what have I been doing before that I am doing less right now once we are a couple. Well, my first answer is we seldom have our serious talks. We are always together going out, eating, and shopping. And when we are at her house, we can not talk privately. Before we always talk on the phone, but now, well we meet in person.

That is exactly what is on her mind. And I really admit it that I miss those times, but on that time we talked seriously and talked a lot of things. Well, I wish we could always have that time that we could spend some quality time together.

Through the talks we have we get to know each other. We get to know our disagreements, our convictions, strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes I think, do I need to give 100% effort, or an effort that is 100% consistent? Of course being dynamic relationship is healthy in a relationship compared to being a constant boring relationship. Hope I can mix the best of both worlds. Well hope in the months and years to come I would be the person that she would be proud to be with, because I will do my best to be the perfect “complement partner” for her. Everyone is not perfect but aiming to be one would be the ideal thing.

My YPF Valentines Party

Last Night, we had our Valentines Party for Young Professionals at Grace Christian Church. It was a really fun experience, but before me and my honey went their, I passed by her house, to pick her up and rest a little. We are also preparing because we are going to share our love story in the fellowship.

Three couples are going to share their testimony. And we are the only couple who are not yet married. Wah… Well, we entered the room and Sign on the registration. And the tables are separated by girls and boys / ladies and gents. I said to myself I wish that I could sit with her tonight. But it was immediately answered, the “SPEAKERS” have a special seat and in the end we are escorted to the special seat so I can sit right beside her.

There are a lot of singing and trivia and so on. Our time has come when we are called to share our testimony. I was the first one who spoke then she came second. But I will not divulge our story over the net, maybe some other time ;)

I was really blessed because many people appreciated our story, they said some words like very inspiring, great, beautiful, “kulit”, and so on. Before we spoke I told her that we should pray and pray that our story can be used to inspire other people. Well it was an answered prayer and a lot of them gave many feedbacks.

However we are still a young couple we have lots of roads to pass and travel. Our journey is just beginning and I am looking forward on experiencing a lot of things with her, whether it may be hardships, trials, fun, and joy. I know everything would be alright as long as the Lord God Almighty is in the center of our relationship.

My Valentine's Day

My Valentine's Day is not of the ordinary day. It was suppose to be the day where we enjoy with our love ones. Unfortunately for my friend, whose brother died, we went to a funeral service with my honey :). we comforted our friend.

But before we went to the funeral service, well. we enjoyed a little bit, we ordered pizza. with sausage stuff crust from Pizza hut. Then well, we kinda over ate cause its so yummy. Anyway after the service, we went to jolibee to have a short "date". with the choco shake or something. taste good but the brain freeze really hurts.

Well my valentines day was not that romantic one, but at the very least i really enjoyed it with my hon. We spent and used a lot of emotions. Sadness, comfort, gluttony, happiness, fun, sleepiness, and love! Happy valentines day!
