ABOUT ME
Each nickname has a meaning or a history. My family and childhood friends call me Rita. My primary/secondary school classmates call me Flor. When I was in High School, I attended the Citizen Army Training (CAT) and became an Alpha Company Commander. Our Batallion S4, Florenda Espinosa (I will never forget you girl) started calling me Ongki since she found it hard to pronounce my surname. The name somehow sounded cool so I began using it then.
Schools: Adamson University Batch '95, B.S. Computer Science,
University of the Philippines Open University, MIS (studying but LOA)
When I was choosing between what degree to take, I was confused if I will choose the course I really like over the university I was wishing to enter (but the course I will have to take was just my second choice). My dad used to tell me, it is not the school but the student that creates fame. I enrolled for my master's degree just recently when one of my best friends, Mike, decided to take the course as well.
Birthday: June 28 (year is left out, it's for you to find out ha ha)
It always rains on my birthday.
Occupation: has been a mainframe programmer/designer (and what have you) for the past decade and getting bored already.
I was hoping to retire from the IT industry at 35 and find a job that I will really enjoy (and settle down if fate permits ha ha ha).
Hobbies: Traveling, going to the beach to swim and spend hours under the sun, loves to chat with everyone and anyone (I remember my friend Joel Tan used to tell me there is no language barrier for a person like me)
