Ola~ gracias amigo. Buenas dias! LOL, still have that Spanish wannabe. It started in the office when a group of foreign clients came to visit the office. I don't know what they're talking about. Ma'am Han really impressed me when she starts talking in Espanyol with the visitors. When the visitors left, I started to kid around and start speaking Spanish. I don't know what came into my mind. I just had the vibes to start my insanity at the office and everybody seems to jive and makes fun with each other. The workplace has gotten better everyday with nutty officemates and kalog bosses, pati yung sira-ulong guard na bigla lang susulpot mula sa salamin sa kabilang office na animo'y naagnas na Andrew E., wala na akong reklamo maliban sa laging nauubos ang coffeemate.

There's something missing that day, or rather someone.. it's our funny client from a big company. Pag binanatan mo nang istorya, tiyak, magagago ka sa kakatawa. I often mimics the way he talks. Though often times he's irritable but once you got a hang of it, maeenjoy yung buong office. Luckily, I mean, kaya lang, I think he had forgotten to visit the office ~ YEY!

Nakakagutom na, while listening to Canon Rock Version, astig talaga yung video! ~ I feel so blessed. Not to mention, I bought myself some stuffs para remembrance kuno~ Buti sinamahan ako ni Berting. Langya yun, di ako nakapili ng mabuti sa 98peso shop. Good thing, there's a lady who helped me at nakapili naman ako, and I call it - The Red Shirt. awoooo~ *lightning background*

I hope and I will try na magtagal sa Syntactics Inc. Astig talaga dun. Kahit simple lang kami manamit pero yung trabaho naman namin, dammit~ pang world-class! Hi-tech naman yata yun kase web dev! Lakas ng arrive talaga kase in-na-in! It's almost 10, I should better go na, baka ma-late na naman! I forgot to buy alarm clock. Now I'm just relying to my 8-hour sleep at sana magtugma talaga yung 8-hours!

After working with the site in 2 days along with the Syntactics Web Dev Team, the Cagayan de Oro City Official Website was launched at the Night Cafe Divisoria at about 8 pm. It was really a breakthrough in my career as a part time web developer since the first project that was given to me during my 2nd day of work was successful!

Along with, the team celebrates the Syntactics Inc. Anniversary since it started in June a few years ago (I'm forgot the year yay~) and also the celebrations serves as a welcome to us (me and Robert who started last April) for being a part of the web dev team. After the dinner, we had some beers and mingled with the rest of the team. It was indeed a very unforgettable day in my life, not to mention that it was salary day LOL and I was paid higher than I expected because of my great performance showed during the past days.

There's still a lot to say though I'm really hungry while typing this sigh~, one thing for sure, having a part time job with teams having a very cool personalities, I'm grateful to be a part of it. Thank God.

The Applicant

Last Saturday, June 24th, I submitted my application to Syntantics Inc., thanks to Mr. Robert Steve Paolo Dejesica, who happened to be a co-owner of the internet cafe where I usually hangout and told me to join their web dev team. He handled PHP programming and after seeing my website and other web related samples, he asked me to work with them as a part time and try it out for myself.

The Interview

Last Monday, June 26th, I did the interview with Ms Honey Caragos, who manages Syntactics with Mr. John Kaamiño. I felt comfortable when having this interview with her (Honey) and she told me that tomorrow (Tuesday) will be my first day of my 1-week training (w/ allowance yeahooo!).

First Day Noob

Tuesday, the day I started my career as a part-time web developer XD. Arrived at 8 am at the office, it was awkward and very uncomfortable. I was introduced to the team comprises of 7 teckies. I was still observing that time and perhaps I came up with this first impression - I THINK I'LL BE ENJOYING THIS JOB WITH THOSE NUTS! Not to mention the very descent environment, I'll be working with comic and enjoyable people! I'm really thankful for this oppurtunity to work with them.

First Task Mr. John asked me to make a guestbook for the Kagay-an Online using PHP scripts with the help of Robert. It was quite confusing at first because it was kinda` different compared with thse school projects. It has a lot of accounts and passwords then you'll be brought into the admin database functions. I don't know how to create a database online so I asked Robert to show me the things I needed to know. I did adjusted to the new interface and luckily, I managed to complete my task for that day. Just then, another task was given to me. It's all about creating a layout for the Cagayan de Oro website. I thought it was just a government section site, I mean, I didn't expect it to be the "Official" website of the city!

it's almost late.. continuing this for some other time. I hope I won't miss some..

Most people say that "Walking is the best exercise!", making not just your body healthy, even your mind, heart, and soul.

Walking a 3-kms from home to school is a bit tiring since you're walking in a city. Not to mention the busy roads with smokes and dusts, PLUS the heat of the 2-pm sun, you could feel exhausted. I have no choice, sounds silly, I don't have even a peso. WTF's wrong with me, I can't even save for my future use. I'm so stupid. Walking seems to be the only way. No regrets, I get to see my inner self while walking *sour-graping pweh!*, and thought for a while about changing myself into a more resourceful person.

Walking to school is really quite fun. I can remember the last time I had my walk to school was when I was still in elementary. Seeing different kinds of people, looking around where people seems to be in a hurry, cars all over the place and a LOT of mirrors where I can stop and take a look at my face for a second. It was really enjoyable 'til I reach my destination -- Eddie Gold Dormitory. WTH??! Didn't I mention to go to school? Well yeah, thanks for the one and a half hour of Naruto show at Studio 23 TV and a 3-km walk, I missed my 4 PM class, so I decided to stop by or rather stand by in a dorm filled with music and friends.

I spend the whole afternoon talking, teasing, and shouting with those silly maniacs. Not to mention, I did played guitar -- borrowed from a dorm gurl Jazz. Unfortunately, the guitar session wasn't that entertaining since I really don't have a singer-quality voice and I got tensed all the time. But I'm sure there's a song that really hit that afternoon - We Belong by Toni Gonzaga *damn, I love that chick!*. With Chairman and Eninz, one of the silly maniac dormies, we enjoyed the song especially the chorus and shouts "Don't you know that we both belong.. !!"

Unexpectedly, an old friend came to visit the dorm - Andrian Lou Lansang a.k.a Lance (CIT Bad Boys). He was one of those cool katropa and maaasahan talaga. He just finished his college last summer 2006. If I'll be lucky, we'll march together this coming October. He's one of my co-programmer and designer when it comes to IT projects. Maaasahan at maaangasan talaga tong taong to. Nilibre pa ako ng hapunan and some fifty's.

The dark seems to dominate the surroundings and at around 8, Lance and I decided to leave the dorm. Jesse, also one of my Bad Boy kabarkada, joined us to leave. Outside the dorm, we had an almost an hour chat with isaw trip sponsored by Lance while reminiscin' the pasts when we're still in our early years in college, realizing how much we enjoyed our ol' good days! So much for rememberin', we called it a day. "Bulag bulag sa ta bai sa maayong kabubut-on"

I ran across the busy road to take a ride back home 'cause I managed to have some money then. Hmm, it ain't sunny. The night seems to be so friendly so I decided to take another walk back home. While walking, I get to a lot of versions singing and rapping with these lines "Walkin' iz d best exercizah!" LOL. Singing's really refreshes me as I passed along some videokes with great songs, videoke singers that sings well, harmless odd-looking tambays, all flavored out my recipe for tonight -- WALKING.

Wednesday, the first day of the week that I have classes. My first session starts at 2pm. I feel so comfortable wearing just my black PMA shirt I bought during our MLA-SBMA-BAGUIO tour last December. Not that excited for the subject since I've taken it 3x! A subject offered only in the university - Social Orientation/Group Dynamics. Don't ask why I got it 3x. Of course, since I'll be having my first class, I cant keep on thinking.. sino kaya magha-handle ng subject.. Pls not Mrs Tingle! Not her please! I dont wanna teach Mrs Tingle. Actually, she's Mrs. Pearson. She's my prof during my first take of the SO subject. Realizing she won't be in my class, I rejoiced! And as expected, we didn't have our first class today. Quite frustrating, but at least, I did my promise to myself -- NOT TO SKIP THE FIRST CLASS OF MY LAST SEM.

Since I'll still have 2 hours before my 4:30p History class, I decided to stay in our IT department corridor. There, I get a chance to talk with my other Octoberian classmates about some bloody, scary, freaky stories. One talks about her experience on her breast operation. Di naman ako takot sa dugo o kahit hihiwain pa ni Arnold Schwarzenegger yung kamay niya sa terminator, but the fact that totoo kase naexperience nga, i can feel the pain during her operations. Maselang bahagi kase inooperahan amf! She also mentioned about her near death experience. It was nice to know that our souls really go out from our bodies. Astig rin un! There are still more to talk about but it's already 4:30pm. So I hurriedly went out to the other side, climbed a five-story building, and again, our history prof didnt show up. I have to wait more hours for my 7:30 Rizal class. At about 5pm, I went to a computer shop for just an hour to check my Gaia and other accounts. Then I ate my dinner to filled up my hungry stomach before going to my class. Damn, I think I ate the worst pinakbet ever and paid just 10pesos \m/, !! Am I complaining? Hell no! But I'll cut the head's cook if I'll pay more than 10pesos for a bunch of lousy pinakbet! Burrp! Thanks for the water as I paid the cashier. Then I saw some of my degree-holder batch. I think they're going to have some beer. Too bad, they didn't invite me out. It's like "Pare!", then just like that, they just passed over me knowing that they won't graduate without my eherm~ skills in programming. It's a shit though, well, that's life. I'm now useless to them. But time will come ~ >:)

And it's like 7:30 that I hurriedly make my way from the carenderia to my Rizal class and guess what. It was the same professor I had in summer... same subject.. same style of his way of making grades - reporting. I thought he'll recognize me but luckily, he didn't. I guess, it was that I cut my long hair I had in summer. Well at least, I had my class for the day.

Last words to say: Even if the school will be like a ghost town, try to attend your 7:30pm class at the 4th floor of the deserted building. You'll never know you'll gonna get the same professor for the second time!

Eherm! Syempre, dahil Independence day kahapon, lunes na lunes walang pasok! So ngayon ang first day pasukan. Hopefully this will be my last semester. Nung tinignan ko yung schedule ko, WTF! wala pala akong class buong araw. Still, I have to go to the school para naman makibalita sa mga nangyayari dun. Estudyante tayo eh, so papasok muna. I arrived at the school mga around 10am. Tapos nakita ko yung classmates ko nun (eto siya). Konting usap lang tapos sinamahan ko ung si Khinvox sa pag-followup ng NG niya. Pero di sinuerte, sa tatlumpong oras kong paghihintay sa labas, nauwi lang pala sa wala. Busy daw kase ung prof na un kaya di mabigyan ung kawawa kong kaibigan ng grade. Medyo nakakarelate din ako. Higit pa dun, I felt this fear inside me. Something just came into my mind. Well, wag na muna yun. Kawawa kong kaibigan, kumain na lang kami sa labas.

Hayzz, tinamad ako bigla sa pagtatype. Andito pa sa tabi ko yung bestfriend ko. Lakas kase ng ulan sa labas, so I invited the shit para samahan muna ako sa pag-iinternet. Kumakanta pa ng "kung wa nay baboy sa inyong silong, wa nay mukitkit sa igit na gipilit sa inyong haligi"
Translation: If there's no pig below the nipa hut, no ones gonna eat shit that stick in your pedestal.

Damn, ginutom ako bigla. Saka ko na to continue..

Pare, ang lakas ng arrive ko simula pa lang ng araw. I think ithappened around 6 AM when I got a message from the one I truly admire. Didn't expect na nakita niya yung mga gawa ko and she even acknowledge it. Actually dalawa sila. Both I talked in YM. Kahit ganun, at least nakakatulong na rin to boost up my trust sa sarili ko. Di sa pagmamayabang, I got a lot of compliments pagdating na sa mga gawa ko related to computer pero iba yung sa kanila. Feeling ko, buong pagkatao in-acknowledge na nila. Well, bago pa yun, may nagawa na rin yata ako sa kanilang maganda but I'm not expecting to get paid. I don't even asks for their gratitude. Once I'll make a person happy, para sa akin, achievement ko na yun. Everybody deserves to be happy. Kahit lugmok na siya sa buhay, deserving pa rin siya lumigaya kahit sa isang sandali lang ng buhay niya.

Perhaps I want to be remembered. At least, may silbi tayo sa mundong ito. We don't need to die para maging superhero. Just a little bit of inspiration and learn to appreciate the things around us.

Nakalimutan ko pa yatang pumunta sa bahay to work on a small project. Sigh~ Oh well, yan lang muna. I'm so grateful 666.

While typing this, I'm listening to Tuloy Pa Rin by Neocolors.

I got a lot of things in my mind right now. I'm planning to find a job related to my course. Hmm.. probably a call center will do. I can help people to solve some problems (except Math please no no) online. I can even teach them how to create a website LOL. Speaking of website, I had my first e-commerce experience. Though the transaction doesn't involved real money but a virtual gold instead which was taken in Gaia Online. I feel good about it. I mean, I can earn a real money for creating websites for clients outside the Philippines. I hope to have my own online business. I will employ myself then... go go go!What about my plan to be a part of a famous band in the Philippines? Or become an actor? Join the PBB 3rd season? Nyahahahahah! I'll just stick with my school first. First semester, here I come!

You know that song Honestly by Harem which has a cool acoustic?? Francis taught me how to do the tabs! So cool to listen to, though I dont know the lyrics yet!

My GAIA mania was not that good since I haven't posted that much and I havent earned a lot of gold unlike before. I had this YM conference with my forum buddies and whew, manyak talaga ung mga kumag na un nyahahahah! Sigh, Im not really good at this blog thing, Im not use to this.

Before I forgot, I got this good news from Francis. One of the CIT staff mentioned about the 30k project for us this coming semester. I'm thinking, probably it will be a website with PHP scripts! Im so excited about it! And I'm excited to eat now, gotta go... my hunger's killin' me. Do i have to say "go"... wth.. im too noob for this blog stuff.. *leaves and almost forgots the flashdisk... cant afford to lose those MP3 files downloaded by Francis*

I just woke up past noon and I missed my favorite anime Naruto. OMGWTFBBQ!

Hell yeah! Thanks to reirei's site (whew, inspired by her.. hope you enjoy the site!), I got my own site now! I based it on the MP3 Anakti Skins but hey, this is a lot cooler. I hope I'll be able to keep it up. Damn it.. I haven't seen mah profs for today.. they missed me for sure! Sux! I feel so alone when I'm offline!

[Back to Top]

My morning started on an internet cafe. Yeah, that's right. I had an overnight internet babad. That GAIA is really a big hit for me. I never had my sleep! After noon, bro Ryan just took me to a friend's birthday so, even if I dont have enough sleep, I did had a great feast of that lechon baboy! Yummyyy~~~~

At about 6pm, I started to do Reirei's blog. I hope she'll liked it.

What the heck... it's so hard to write a reversed blog... what the hell im talking about!
