Were you working full-time on nothing? Were you working full-time on something which yields nothing?
i believe that if you were  incapable of doing something  to achieve your goals at your current state now, you won’t be able to do something on your dreams or where your path may lead you to.  It is not true that you may be able to do more when you are in the position.  In fact you may do less or your may end up doing nothing.

since i can’t go directly to Charles’ house, i had to make a pitstop at our Cebu Office(where i was employed originally,  before i was sent to Makati) I had some long chats with my Batch 5 and 6 graduates(now engineers) and other employees i know(well basically most of them). Since it’s a Friday, we usually had lunch in some expensive or fancy restaurants, we call it Lunch Out.  We ate at Big Mao(i think its a Chinese restaurant), it was my first time in the restaurant my co-employees order the food for us…we had two orders of 4-5 recipes and a bottomless iced-tea and softdrinks. We were so full that we barely finished our drinks and felt sleepy. After eating we headed to a coffee shop to buy some coffee.. wow… i was just thinking where could they possible put the coffee in their stomach? eheheheeh so we headed to the office at around 2:30… while they were busy with their works, i had to post some of my nice "experience of the day" on this site…

– next (Charles wedding…)

Finally! Im in Cebu! I was so excited last night that i even woke up early at around 5:30 in the morning.  I quickly hit the shower and prepare my stuff. Then i hit the road and hailed for a Taxi at around 6:15.  I arrive at the airport at 7:05 and had gone through annoying process of inspection.  They even make me remove my shoes! F—!  Another thing that irritate me the most was the Terminal Fee of 200 fucking pesos!  S—!  I did not even see any improvement they’ve done with the airport, it still looks like KUSO!  Then im in the waiting area and fill my stomach with some rice and binagoongang baboy(pork).  After which i sat in a corner try to relax and read Bob Ong’s Stainless Longanisa book.  Boarding time, i walk through gate 4 and boarded the plane and seated at 6C.  My seatmate as an old lady with his gradnson.  It was there first time in a plane, and she said she was a bit scared. And i’ve said that its ok as long you keep your seatbelt tight and keep quite things will be fine.   I thought it would be fine, but after 10 minutes she started to hit with some questions about how does it feel when the plane starts to fly? does she needs to fasten her seatbelt all the time? how long is the flight? what time will we arrive in Cebu? can she lower the window cover? typical questions a first time passenger on a plane would ask.  And she keeps on asking while im reading Bob Ong’s book.  She was starting to get on my nerves. I was thinking that planes should have this guide book on flying for first timers. hehehehehe  So when the captain announced that we will be starting to descent on Cebu-Mactan’s Internation Airport, she again ask me if we were in Cebu already.  Tired of answering here questions so i just give her a nod.  So when we touch down and we were ready to get off the plane i quickly find the exit and run towards the baggage claim area.  I thought that i’ve lost her, but damn there she was at my side asking questions again about her baggage! grrrrrrr…. so when i’ve found my bag… i grabbed it and rush toward the exit and hailed for a taxi…. so glad i was a mile from her now….. while strolling towards my destination… Cebu was still Cebu.. i’m finally back ….

– more to come(lunch out!)

The life support system for teenage car  crash  victim Kristine Bailer was turned off - on the orders of another girls’s parents.  The couples own daughter, Wendy Liby, was killed outright in the same accident in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  Kristine was critically  injured.  Officials confused the names of the two victims and mistakenly  called Kristine’s friend’s parents to ask for permission to switch off the life support system.  They gave it.

I will be on a vacation leave on Friday.  I’ll be going to Cebu, Philippines and be staying there until Sunday.  I’ll finally visit cebu after 12 months of being away from it.  My friend Charles invited me to his wedding on Saturday… he intends to make me his BestMan… (is he crazy or what?) ehehehehe well i don’t know what’s got into his(Charles) mind, but i am very honored for choosing me as his best man.  Me and Charles had been friends since college, we were even groupmate in almost all of the projects we had then.  After graduation he left for Cebu to work for 6 years and I’ve stayed in Davao for 6 years also.  We always get together once or twice a year especially holyweek and/or christmas season.  We had been housemate last year for 6 months when i got a job in Cebu.  Every Friday we had this DoTA tournament at our house starting from 9PM until the early morning… and slept the whole day of saturday or we both gone to our offices.. and on Sunday we go out, buy some groceries, water and dine out on some expensive restaurants…(great hobbies huh?)  Well this year… his finally getting married… and me? just a BestMan… among our circle of friends, I’m the one who has been left behind… Darn! WTF! ehehehehe well it has not been a big deal for me… i feel i’m not ready for such paradigm… a married life.  My time has not yet come… soon probably ehehehe

jaa… time for me to work… had to finish that fucking mapping stuff….

i had this one problem which i find difficult to solve.  mapping the subjects of one training program to the higher level training program.  this has been long overdue since last week.  this is what i hate most about my job, giving me something to do which i don’t have any clue or whatsoever about it…  i guess i had to rely on my abilit and instinct and exhaust all my resources for it… today is the deadline… well i haven’t started it yet… well WTF i’ll just do what i can do about it… ganbaru!

Problem: Map FE(fundamental engineer) subjects to 10 SWE Book of Knowledge.

" Eid’l Fitr(Feast of Charity) marks the end of the Muslim fasting month. To mark the occasion, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo declared today a national holiday in the largely Roman Catholic country."

Today is a holiday! It means no work and no school. So i had time to sleep late and woke up late.  Since it’s a holiday, it’s an opportunity for me to wash my clothes and fix my stuff.  And so i did washed my clothes, fixe my bed and cabinet and tickles my guitar.  What i hate most about washing my clothes was that my hands gets hurt all the time.  It usually inflict wounds on my middle finger but today it includes my ring finger. F—! it really hurts.  I don’t send my clothes to the laundry shop, because at one instance my clothes smells bad and were not clean.  Guess i need to buy a gloves for my hands.

hmmm well haven’t blogged for two days, that is Saturday and Sunday…

Saturday was our company’s Sportfest(2nd and final day)… i was really exhausted…. our team was waiting for our championship game for volleyball… while i was reading Bob Ong’s Stainless Longganisa… Allen grab me to play badminton with Richie… the 2nd team for badminton was late and the match is about to start… without any practice Richie and I did our best and was able to won the first match… but we were battered in the 2nd match… and afterwards the volleyball game is about to start.. kuso… i’ll be a dead man soon… so when i got home i hit the shower and dive into my bed and slept for almost 15 hours…

Sunday… i woke up at 11AM, i had a long sleep.. i stand up and wash my face and grabbed my T-shirt and bought some food, KFC Variety Bucket! It includes 4 pieces of Hot/Spicy Chickens, 4 Chicken BBQ, 1 Large Hot Shots and 4 pieces of Rice. Wow! that’s what you call food… eheheheheh On my way home, i stop by the bakeshoppe and bought a 1.5 Liter Coca-cola. It was Sunday and it was the time to relax and pamper my self through food… eheheh ONAKA GA IPPAI DESU! thanks god.. i was so full that time… i rested for while watching HBO movies… then after an hour im on  my bed again and fell into a deep trance.. i woke up at around 6PM …. and dinner was waiting…because i was still full, i only ate one rice and a chicken.. at 9 o’clock i went to my favorite hang-out, STARBUCKS-Walter Mart.  It is where i read my books with Grande Cappuccino while glimpsing at those sexy and beautiful women passing by. ehehehehehe I went home by 11 PM and sleep at around 12 midnight thinking of the new day tomorrow.. the first day of the week… F—— MONDAY!  

it has been a month or two since my Dell Laptop broke. Thus every night is a boring situation for me.  So what i did was to find some book to read. And luckily tetelskee lent me his book entitled "Stainless Longganisa" by BoB Ong.  Bob Ong a Filipino writer who writes books that will gonna make you laugh and think at the same time.  One of his famous books was ABNKKBSNPLAko!(Wow! I can read!)

Last night i was reading pages 69-75 before closing my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.  After smiling a bit while reading his previous write-ups, i suddenly kept quite and thinking on what he says about the internet. 

According to Bob Ong(translated from Tagalog),  "the most beautiful aspect of the internet that he notice was those who make and use it. Human Being (TAO, Person, People)

Think of it: Who are you? Who’s the real you? Who is the YOU?  If your arms get amputated because of accident well it would still be the same YOU, YOU who had no arms who is handicapped.  But if all your body parts get separated, which part is YOU? The Head? The Body? or that with still lots of parts connected?  What if none of your body parts were left?

Were YOU the part of your body  when your still alive? Were YOU the part that can think? Were YOU always be the Head?  That was Internet.  We always think that we were talking. No faces, body, hand and feet at all. I can’t see YOU. YOU can’t see ME.  Im the person whom you had manifested in your mind probably base on my characteristics and personality.  Because you can communicate/talk to me, then Im a Person/Human Being/TAO."

It was so philosophical and that’s what i like in a book.  After reading this write-ups and thinking for a while I’d realized that maybe sometimes or most of the time we forgot of who we are, the real US.
