ideal situation

Transferring to GDCP has been an ideal situation for me because I get to have a fresh start.
A brand new seat, to befriend cubiclemates, an NMS project whose name doesn't start with 'I' (been with INC100MS and INMS), and not to mention a daily dose of lemon scent from both CRs make life interesting.
While lurking around my favorite website (I choose not to mention the url since it might be blocked) during this non busy times, a question struck me "What could be the ideal situation for NEC? What do I consider as utopian NEC office?".

Here is a list of suggestions I can think of:
Office Building - make the fire drill more realistic by introducing pyro techniques so that in case accident happens and the fire will be victorious, our office will be transferred to a high rise building. 8th floor doesn't sound bad..
Uniform - having to wear the same jeans for successive days feels a little itchy. thus if we opt for NEC top down uniforms, most likely I won't be the only one feeling the itch.
Clinic - [please proceed to the next item]
Review Area - a review area close to GDCP. how about demolishing the clinic?
Salary - 14th month pay for credit card bills because they never miss sending us "love" letters.
Pantry - unlimited supply of coffee in our pantries. SDE3 and below don't have to regularly visit Budoy's cabinet and SE and above don't have to walk distance going to Starbucks.
Nihongo - students who excel in Nihongo (80% attendance and took all exams) will have a field trip in Tokyo Disneyland. Here's the catch, they have to participate in the company-wide nihongo speech contest.
Internet Quota - engineers who haven't reached their quota every week for a given year will also get a trip to Tokyo Disneyland. What's the catch? TBD
AOTS/IntraTransfer - just fishing...
HR - car loan, pc loan, signing incentive, and all employee benefits can be availed regardless of position. By then, hr staffs will gladly volunteer composing our resignation letters.

I could have listed some more suggestions but my daydreaming was disrupted by the percusive door-slamming in the male comfort room. Honestly, NEC is perfectly fine. It is everything you can hope for in a working environment. Operating for a decade in the Philippines is a huge success and that is what you call ideal situation.

Advanced Happy 10th Anniversary NEC! :)

friendster

So let's get this straight. What i needed to do to make something out of my long weekend was a visit to friendster which has come to its peak a couple of years ago and eventually signing up to it? Really?
Yes, i may be too late for this extravaganza but i think i'll make a run for the best looking account. Just take a look and be sure to add me. :)

peach mango pie

had lunch with gladys at sinangag express and in need of something sugary after that uncooked looking eggs we opted to take a visit at jollibee. Coincidentally, gladys and i wanted peach mango pie so i told the jolly lady ill have 2. grabbing the opportunity, the lady told us we can have 3 pies for only 44 pesos instead of 2 for 36 pesos (needless to say 1 peach mango pie costs 18 pesos). So gladys and i agreed to take the 3 pies and gave 22 pesos each. Before we came into the office, gladys took a pie and with an i-mean-business look on her face said "oi kung imo na kanon ang usa kay bayari ko ha" (something like that). Hours passed i still didnt touch the third pie until my officemate who seems to be hungry all the time said "hala lami lagi ni" so I being the generous one told him "cge imo nana". Had to warn you that gladys is just the type of person who computes money matters to the last centavo. But in this case, i think she has crossed the limits. I, being the honest one, told her "gurl, pila ako bayran sa last pie". Once again with that i-mean-business look on her face she replied "9". 'Grabeh kaau... unsa ni tulis?!!!' I think I'm supposed to pay only 8 pesos since 44-36 is 8. After a minute of argument, I, being the good one, gave in and paid 9 pesos but this time i threw back an i-mean-business look on my face and said "Bantay lng ka".

my mother

just happened to read blogs of my friends about their mothers.
i was moved with their stories which pushes me to write my own and besides mother's day was just 2 days ago.

my mother has always been my inspiration. i will always give her my best. an incident during my preparatory years will forever leave a mark. in school, we were thought to create "puppets" made from egg shell and pop sickle sticks. I happened to create a really nice puppet but I wasn't able to bring it home since i broke it while we were arranging chairs for dismissal. When i arrived home that day i told my mother of my tragic story, she simply replied "ay ka sayang". Those words really broke my heart. Those words has been my guide. From then on, i see to it that i would give her everything that could possibly make her happy. That's why you could not blame me being "naning" in school because i would make her smile if I bring home a perfect score. I will let her try everything.. i would not let her miss anything.. that is how i love my mother. my achievements will always be for her.

MY happy mothers day!


my mom with bro and sis.. :D

shine

just like to share the song playing in my head while doing my worst OT work.
==============================================================

Shine

Give me a word
Give me a sign
Show me where to look
Tell what will I find ( will I find )
Lay me on the ground
Fly me in the sky
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find ( will I find )

Oh, heaven let your light shine down (x4)

Love is in the water
Love is in the air
Show me where to go
Tell me will love be there ( love be there )
Teach me how to speak
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
Tell me will love be there ( love be there )

Oh, heaven let your light shine down (x4)

Im going to let it shine (x2)
Heavens little light gonna shine on me
Yea yea heavens little light gonna shine on me
Its gonna shine, shine on me
Its gonna shine, come on in shine

==============================================================
i did come out from the office with daylight shining on me. =p

sleep deprived

i miss this job.. having that extra time to jot down what is in your mind.
eighteen straight days of sleeping beyond 1 in the morning certainly would answer why.
sleeping late is not good.. first it would make your head crack and your mother wont stop on texting you "pls uli na".
thinking being online in my YM late evening would help instead your chatmate will ask you where you are and they will go berserk when you say in the office. talking bout finding someone to help you forget stressful work. going to the office together with my sister at 830 has been my routine everyday but because of the need to rest - most of the time i could not accompany her anymore. work has not been the problem but looking at things you like to do stay in the corner. they say its not good for your health but in my case i think sleep deprivation due to work is draining emotionally. need to go out tonight (home by 10)
