Friday Feast Day!

Ofcourse, we end up in Bubba Gump after long hours of thinking where to eat. ~Okay okay, it was my choice! Well, the best place on Earth! Yummy!

I asked Mon and Neil out to celebrate their supposed to be first pay cheque, which they still yet to receive on Monday due to *.

The Kids! Mon and Neil

We ate our hearts out with the signature Bubba Gump dishes I always order when I visit: Cajun Shrimp, Pingpong Chicken, Mama's Southern Fried Chicken and Jasmine rice.

Also asked Roanna to join to celebrate her freedom! lol.

After the dinner, I end up shivering~ too cold on my place plus I was wearing shorts~ and with a full stomach, aching because of too much laughing! Almost throw up because of those funny stories of AIDS and AIDS on syringe and stabbing, and Herpes, mostly STDS!

It was good night! ~and sad in the end where I need to say goodbye to Roro, who I will not see on Monday.

Roro Left the House!

On Monday, I will not see this girl arriving at the office screaming HOT~ "Ang init!", anymore.

Won't see her when I turn around. Won't hear her rant about things. No one will ask me to go with her to Oliver's to buy iced tea or to Starbucks to buy Green Tea Frap. No one will ask me to go to Rockwell and see something. No one to have Jollibee dates with Chicken Joy. Will not hear her keyboards crack. No one to share panoxyl moments. No one to bug me to watch movies--- old ones. I will have no rant-mate anymore. No one to laugh with when we hear BLAGGERS, and buggers! Will have no one to talk to about creative things, new things. Will miss her gayness, gay songs and her google-ing naked photos of Cristiano Ronaldo. Will miss her cry-baby moments, when stressed. No one will scream out of kilig-ness for Patrick Moberg and hottie soccer players. No one to update me of Malaysian nuffies.

Will miss her Katinko. Definitely. Will miss the monggos she brings for me for lunch. The potatoes!

Burned

It's getting on my nerves already. We can continue to be patient, but after awhile of being patient, we can't help but just get sick of it, and say we can't and won't get a hang of it, because it's never right to fail. Fail and do/learn nothing about it, is the worst.

Just a thought on how to treat people:

"We always have to think before acting/speaking (well, a process where I still need practice), it's a must most of the time for almost anything. You also need to see people, treat them well, know your limitations or boundaries, be professional when needed, but most of the time, I really think, you should know them, maybe not on the personal side, but at least know something. Connect, show respect and you will be treated equally."

Incompentence, I don't know~ Trying to fix things is just hard when you are held up by obstacles (people who really don't understand, people who don't face mirrors)~ don't blame it on others, that's even worst.

Crappy service always ends up with a customer's change of preferrence, so don't wonder!

Thought on discovering new things:

"It's never an excuse that you don't know the stuff, because we can always learn. Learning is a continues process, and never ends."

Complains 2009

People who don't want to spend get this.

OAP 2009: Exhibition and Tradeshow

Don't complain to me, just did what you asked me to do, it is with your approval, remember? Christmas lights?--- "Gastos lang yan." Unless you want me to ask an exdeal for that? Lights in exchange for 1 LED Board spot for 1 day? or is it too much, may be half day for the christmas lights.

UN has a better booth design?--- Let me think, they have budget and we don't. Will I be the one to think of gimmicks--- am not from the sales team.

Financial Advises of Richmond Ibasco: More Questions

I don't know stress, stress with nosebleeding and head-turning, before I met these Lasallites, Richmond Ibasco and Neil Mendoza. They are financial-advancements-freaks (at a young age. They must really know what they want), they always think of these things, not that it's bad, but what does really matter when you live this life? Where does the teachings of God be relevant here?

Before I even graduate (well, not even, because I think this is the question that I thought of since the time that I know things--- I'm out of innocence and know that money is something of a bigger value than that of it's written numbers), I always thought of this, "What will happen to me after 5 years?" or not --- this is what I really thought, "I want this to happen in my life in 5 years.". We always have this aspiration, a want, a goal to make our life even better. Is it really important? or it is just enough to have enough, to live just enough for a day and the next day, and the next. Some people would settle for that. One night a taxi driver told me, "Sir, Mayaman ka nga pero alam ko mas masaya ako sa'yo!" (trans: "Sir, You're rich but I'm happier than you!" done because he just wanted me to pay extra). That sentence struck me again, would I be happy if I were just a taxi driver? How could he say that to me? Is he really happy always worrying of what to feed his family?

I am still living the allowance-based lifestyle, where my parents would still give me allowance for a week--- and I am working, that is what Mon always points to me--- I am working and still asking for money from my parents. That would be different if I work hard--- wait that is not right, I work hard--- it will be different if companies pay for what you work for (no offense).

"What is important is that you're happy with your work and everything follows"---"Money is not important--- work with passion, and not after the money" are the most common words of wisdom you can hear in common offices, well, hell yeah they bring out pointless arguments--- What if it doesn't follow? --- Not important, then why don't they give what is rightful for their employees, why do they want to be richer, why do they get sleepless nights when stocks are down?. There's so many why's and buts--- the only answer to this is--- money is important, and everything follows, you can work happy when you are full right? You can't eat PASSION. Then comes--- "Don't be a slave for money."--- teaching of the church.

What is it that really matter? Will they be saved/go to heaven? (the ones not thinking of money, well I think they will get there faster, lol, because they will starve to death? Joke).

Here's what matters to me--- I want to provide for my family--- be freed from the allowance-based lifestyle. I don't want to work for someone forever--- I want my own company in 3 years--- it won't happen if I stay (with less than Php500,000.00 in 2 years hell no). I want to be able to say to my father that I am richer than him (just like GRS). I want a house in Forbes (a plus). I have to work fast and seriously time flies.

Best OJT Ever!

I bet they would describe this OJT experience in PPSP as the best, because they get to play flash games (for now, PSP still with EBR), and mostly I think because they do fun-learning stuff in the office (well, minus the PC wreck---Richmond described as baho). Plus, specially when they can get to sleep! I don't deprive them the privelege to sleep, take a short power nap?!

This was when we were transferring office. Just a prank we played on Richmond

Boys Over Flowers

F4 Korean

Who would have thought that yet another Hana Yori Dango version will come out from another Asian country? And this time, it's the Koreans' turn to take the roles of the uberly-rich kids of the east.

Lui Xing Hua Yuan/ Meteor Garden Taiwanese version of Hana Yori Dango

Meteor Garden, was made a phenomenon during my freshmen years. Everyone's really into it, singing Mandarin songs they don't even understand, wearing skimpy- tight fitting clothes was in then, and plus, let's not forget, the long hairs for boys, would the Korean version surpass the influence Taiwanese version made?

Hana Yori Dango Japanese Version

It's supposed to be the original, but the I think because of the station that got it's rights, it didn't made a hit that much (or so I think, I am not a Kapuso, sorry to tell). Plus, I think I find them a little weird, there's something wrong with their face, and proportion, plus god the wardrobe, off! Well, this time I find the clothes of the Taiwanese version a bit 'jologs' too, but that time it's/I think nice.

Let's see if this new adaptation would made a hit. It's with ABS-CBN after Tayong Dalawa.
