Happy New Year sa Office?!?!
Nov 6, 2008
Eto na nga ba ang kinakatakutan ko.. Ang abutan ng New Year sa office. Nakakainis dahil mukhang naunahan pa ako magfile ng VL ng mga ka-opisina ko. Badtrip talaga!
Napaka-walang puso ng client at Account Manager namin. E pwede naman kausapin ni Account Manager si Client at sabihin na, "Can we have December 31 as a non-work holiday?" Bwiset. Eto ang sabi:
Client: Dec 30-31 are normal work days.
Sabi ko kay AM: Nooooooooo!!!! Can we please request to have it as holiday (Dec 31 and Jan 1)?
Pleeeeeeeease...
AM: Sorry… I cannot influence that since it’s a regular day in McKinney… and the VP has spoken.
Tae talaga. Anong gagawin ko? Gustuhin ko man mag-AWOL, iniisip ko naman ang magiging consequences. Di ba nila alam na New Year's Eve un? Palibhasa, paswelduhan kami kaya wala silang pakialam sa kung anong mararamdaman namin.
Pero kung tutuusin, mas maraming nagtatrabaho sa call center ang di na nakakaranas ng kahit na anong holiday sa piling ng kanilang pamilya. Bakit ba ganun? Nang dahil sa pera ng mga kano, natututo tayong lunukin ang pride natin at talikuran ang mga bagay na mahalaga satin.
Isa pang kabadtripan, di ko feel mga taong kasama ko dito. At ayokong makasama sila sa New Year's Eve. Aaaaaaahhh!!! Ayoko!!!!!

Happiness is...
Nov 3, 2008
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." - Helen Keller
I am working as an engineer for 1 year, 1 month, 23 days. I thought, when I first moved here, I'll be happier. I graduated as a mechanical engineer and got my license. I once worked as technical support representative and moreover became senior technical support representative in a broadband provider in US. I was happy working there, being with my fellow employees and TLs. Unfortunately, change is the only thing constant. The management changed and they had to lessen the officers (including myself). They said they were overstaffed. Time passed by, and one by one, my team mates moved to different supports/accounts. When my time finally came, I thought I had to work as an engineer since that is the only opportunity I thought I'll be most comfortable with.
To cut the story short, I am here now in an engineering field. I was sent to Texas, USA for training for a couple of weeks. I am answering technical calls/e-mails of sales engineers from USA. Nosebleed. Days and months passed, working here is not worthwile. I am the type of person who needs a friendly environment to work efficiently. Any hardwork, when shared with good and nice teammates and superiors will be worth taking.
My teammates hardly talk to me. They are always bounded by the computer, avaya and their chair. My superiors, supervisor and manager, are workaholic and insensitive. I noticed that they were giving me a cold shoulder. They always see me as someone who always makes mistake. They make me feel like I am the weakest link and that I don't belong here.
I am having difficulties to understand the work I am doing. I don't know why. I am working here for a year, graduated BS ME, and passed the board exam, yet I am still having a hardtime answering some technical inquiries. More nosebleed.
Another thing, I am having conflict of interests. I am currently studying and taking BFA Painting at UP. I am really into arts, and sometimes, I regret that I took engineering.
And now, I am contemplating. I have so much in mind that even I, cannot put it into words. Since the day I came here, I had too much of pain and loneliness. And not only once I did cry because Where will I be happy? Where will be of benefit to myself and to others?

What Dreams Are Made Of
Sep 25, 2008
The impossible things become possible in dreams. I once dreamed of being an artist or painter (for those not familiar with artist). I thought I will be dreaming forever. But now, I am finally making it for real. I now have the freedom to make the once impossible, possible. And I want to thank those people who believed in my talent, and the One who gave me that.
Exhibit is still open until September 26, 2008 at UP College of Fine Arts, Corredor Gallery.

INVITATION: An Exhibit on September 23
Sep 19, 2008
Here is the much-awaited exhibit of me and my classmates, UP CFA Painting Majors on September 23 - 26, 2008. Exhibit opens 6PM at Corredor Gallery, UP College of Fine Arts. Everyone is invited to come!!! Food and cocktail will be served.
Art is a persistent muse. Sometimes she is a haunting ghost; she appears and grabs and
possesses.
In this debut group exhibit entitled "Invitation", fifteen artists, all in their first year in the
UP College of Fine Arts, meet with the muse and present the product of this engagement.
Forming the framework of this exhibit is the challenge to interpret the poem "The
Invitation," a prose poem written in 1999 by Oriah Mountain Dreamer who is an author of
inspirational prose-poem and international best-selling books, The Invitation, The Dance
and The Call: Discovering Why You Are Here.
In accomplishing this task, each of the artists has to draw on their knowledge and skills
so far acquired and honed under the Visual Perception class under Thirteen Artists
Awardee Jonathan Olazo.
Perception is a crucial skill in tackling the challenge, specifically in this context and in art-
making in general; one poem but fifteen different ways of interpreting it, fifteen different
ways of seeing the world.
Fifteen different manifestations of the muse.
See you all there!
P.S. To those who doesn't know how to get to UP College of Fine Arts, ride an MRT to Quezon Ave. Walk straight to quezon ave bound to quezon city memorial circle. Or ask where to ride a jeep going to UP. Ask the jeepney driver to drop you off the checkpoint. From checkpoint, there is an intersection. Walk to the right side (when facing the UP Quezon Hall or UP Oblation). You know it's the right way when you see College of Fine Arts a few meters from the checkpoint. You may ride an IKOT jeep but tell you, it's only a few meters. Sayang ang pamasahe. haha!!! Don't be afraid to ask if lost. Hehehe!!!

Sleepwalker
Aug 22, 2008
Last Thursday, I was shocked why I was sleeping in the sala while I remembered I was sleeping in my room. I came from work and it was around 8 in the morning when I finally slept. She said that she saw me walking around 10am and she even asked where I was going. She said I did not respond and instead laid down in the sofa. I woke up 12 in the afternoon and I did not notice that I was sleeping in a different room. When I went back to my room, I realized that I was sleeping there because the fan is still on and I found my blanket laid on the floor. I then asked my mom how it happened that I woke up in the sala. She said I walked and slept in the sofa.
I am a sleepwalker since childhood. There were times that my dad would have to shout at me and spank me so I would wake up. Because they were seeing me walking down the stairs, opening the door and going somewhere. Even if they were calling me, I don't respond. It happened to me again when I was in college. I was renting a room in a relative's house. My mom was also there to visit me. She was sleeping in another room. I slept earlier that time. The next morning, I woke up by her side. My roommates told me that they saw me going down from my bed. I was at the top bed of a double-deck bed. They saw that I was having difficulty of stepping on the ladder of the double-deck bed. They thought that I was awake and so they asked me where I was going because my roomates were still awake. But I did not respond and they felt a bit scared to see my eyes closed while I was walking.
One more incident, my mom woke me up because I had to get ready to go to work. My shift that time was 5am. I asked for 10 more minutes to get sleep. The next thing I know, I fell from the stairs. I was sleepwalking, then my mom hurriedly went to the stairs to check me. I had backpain after that. Haha!
It's kind of scary and at the same time funny. I don't know if there's a cure for this but I'm still lucky that this doesn't happen to me all the time.

Anti-Flu Vaccination
Aug 14, 2008
Yesterday was Anti-Flu Vaccination Day for our company's employees here at our building. I didn't have plan to be vaccinated yesterday because I wasn't able to register for the shot. Since I wasn't doing anything yesterday at work and I was really bored in my workstation, my officemate influenced me to go with them and instead have a chat with them while they are waiting for their flu shots. She said that our supervisor won't notice that I was not registered since he doesn't have the list of who will be participating the said event. The original plan was so perfect until we arrived the place where the shots were given. To our surprise, our supervisor was there waiting for his name to be called and be vaccinated. Gosh! I really did not know what to do because I am afraid that he would know that I wasn't listed and would not be vaccinated. Without second thoughts, I asked the assistant if I may get the shot without my name on the list. He said that I may since they ordered more than the number of the people who registered. He handed me a form to fill-out and asked me to put my name on the list. My officemates were all laughing at me because I wasn't prepared that I'll be vaccinated. Not to mention, I am afraid of injections! My supervisor then got his flu shot before us. When he said he'll go back to the office and we're still waiting for our names to be called, I was thinking of pulling back my registration. I was really scared to death! Oh my God, I am getting injection just because I wanted to escape from boredom in the office. Karma.
And so my officemates got their shot before me. They were teasing me that it was very painful. I got more scared. And when it was my turn, I felt mixed emotions. I felt like I am gonna pee on my pants. I was talking to my officemate about how scared I am and then the nurse injected the syringe. I felt the needle stucked in my arm, I was screaming lightly and my breath was very heavy. I thought I am gonna faint.
After a couple of hours, my arm is starting to ache. It was feeling heavy and swelling. This was what I got for being bad. Hahaha!!! Until now, I feel it's slightly aching.

My Hermit Crabs
Jul 30, 2008
I took a photo of my hermit crabs. I got 4 of them from Matabungkay beach. My mom bought more hermit crabs beside my sister's school. She said that there was an old lady selling these big hermit crabs for 2-5 pesos each depending on its size. I can't remember how may I have all in all. I guess I have more than twenty.
I dropped an empty shell in the aquarium a couple of months ago. And yesterday, while I was checking them, I noticed that the old empty shell I put is now resided with a hermit crab. It abandoned its old shell and went to a new one. They never really owned a home. As they grow, they transfer from one small shell to a bigger one. They were called hermit crabs because like the hermit who hides in his cave, these crabs hide in their shell.
I transferred them to a bigger aquarium because they were too many for a 10-gallon aquarium. Since my flowerhorn died, I made use of the aquarium for the hermit crabs. I have to buy new shells so that they can transfer to a more beautiful shell.

Very Hectic Schedule. Lots of Stories.
Jul 23, 2008
Haaay.. I've been busy nowadays. I did a lot of plate assignments today. I skipped class this morning because I was not feeling well and I felt that I need a rest. And so I was home before 8am. I slept without changing my clothes and without breakfast. I just laid in the sofa and next thing I knew, it was already 12:30pm. I ate lunch and then started to make my assignments. A VERY BIG envelope that was asked by my professor, as big as the size of a cartolina for my subject Drawing I. The envelope should be done creatively and should reflect who I am. My envelope was painted with different parrots. I just thought of something UP and I remembered that the parrot is the logo of UP. Also, the parrot, like my life, is colorful. (^_^) We have to put all our plates there. 5 plates all in all. I made 4.
I haven't finished one other plate for the Visual Perception I. We were asked to cut out from magazines and illustrate one of the Seven Deadly Sins. I first chose Lust but then majority of the class selected that as well. And so I changed my subject to Wrath. It has to be drawn in a 1/2 size of illustration board. All of these plates have to be submitted on Friday, July 25. Whew! I have lot of work to do..
Don't get me wrong. Though I am doing a lot of stuff, work and school, I really enjoy going to school and doing what I really love. If I'll get a chance to upload my works, I'll post it here as well as to my deviantart.
I am still not well. I'm having cough and colds for almost a month now. Maybe because I don't get enough sleep and rest. I don't want to file SL because I don't want to lose my Health Bonus (P1,000.00) which helps me a lot.
Today is our monthsary. I almost forgot til I went to the clinic last night to ask for medicine. I wished the nurse told me to get rest first in the clinic because I was also feeling drowsy. Well, she only gave me medicine. When I jotted down into their log book, I realized that today is July 23. I was so busy with a lot of things and I don't know what date it was.
Al greeted me. And so did I. We could not go on a date today because we are both in graveyard shift. He said he bought me a gift. Good thing I was not able to find CD-R King at Shangrila yesterday because he bought me a Pro Duo Memory Card Reader. Yahoo! I will upload the photos from my cellphone. He dropped by the office to give me the reader and to also greet me for our monthsary. Sweet! Thanks baby.
What else? I'll be seeing a doctor on Saturday ifever I'm still unwell by Friday. This cough and colds are giving me a hard time. I hope no assignments will be given so I can have rest this weekend.
Yay. It's only Wednesday. I'm sooooo looking forward to weekend.
