My supposed speech…

My supposed speech…

Posted by | Apr 27, 2007 | | 3 |

Before anything else, I’d like to thank Aileen Apolo for receiving our company’s award in my behalf. I was ecstatic when I was told that our company won in the Digital Filipino Web Awards under the corporate and professional category. Much to my dismay, I was not able to get a flight going to Manila and so I had to ask Aileen the huge favor of receiving it for us. I also asked her to choose from any of the “short” speeches I have prepared in accepting the award. Speech Choice #1″I am happy to receive the best actress...

Vampire = Systems Analyst

Posted by | Apr 21, 2007 | | 2 |

Ping, this is for you. I miss you duy. Where have you been? Utterly busy? You were actually one of the very few who appreciated the vampires that Anne Rice has woven into this world or is it, you are actually the only person from this city that I know who can relate to these beings and who actually got the gist about the art and passion of these creatures? The idea of being a vampire at first was ghastly especially with the thought that victims unwillingly had their life literally sucked out from them. Guillermo del Toro said “There are two levels of vampirism: one is the regular vampire, which is just like it has always been; and then there’s the super vampires, which are a new breed we’ve created.” I would like to further divide into two the latter breed of vampires. First is the “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” Kind (sorry, I really think they are uber ugly when they transform to their vampire state) and then, there’s Anne Rice Vampires. Vampire Armand said to Louie about the newer and weaker vampires “They had forgotten the first lesson, that we are to be powerful, beautiful, and without regret.” After reading the entire vampire chronicles I can’t help but wonder at how amazing these creatures are. Here’s what I appreciate about them: Undoubtedly great sense of style –...

Software developer….web designer…analyst…. Electrician … and now aircon technician.

Posted by | Apr 4, 2007 | | 0 |

Hay nako… So, the air conditioner in my office started dripping again so we had to pull out the aircon and check out if the “pipes” were stuck or something. After the aircon was again inserted back to its “hole” we noticed that the “compressor” was not working well and that the air coming out of the equipment was rather warm. I was sure that we bought a brand new air-conditioning unit and not a heater. So, we removed it AGAIN from its “place” and saw that one of the red wires was unplugged from God knows where it should be. And so, we called the service center to send someone over nalang to repair it and they replied with “oh, sorry, you would have to wait within next week as all our technicians are out for the holidays and we are fully booked already for early next week.” Duh? Does that mean I have to wear my business attire and suffer the heat? And so…. We removed the aircon AGAIN from it’s place and started analyzing where the red wire should be plugged in. We attempted several times until I saw the electrical diagram of the unit. So, ayan. Aircon fixed. Honey = aircon technician....

My dear graduates…..*ahem*

Posted by | Apr 3, 2007 | | 0 |

Last Friday, I was asked to be the speaker for the commencement exercises for one the vocational schools in Iligan City. There were about 1,200 graduates, all from computer-related courses. At first, I thought I was just “one” of the speakers and I was really surprised when I got to the location, I saw my name written on the backdrop of the stage as THE commencement speaker. *Gulp* It was not easy to outline my accountability and stewardship for the gift of life and profession given to me, all the more speak about it to 1,200 graduates who are all feeling hyped- up and nervous knowing that in just a matter of one day, some of them will shift from being students to being part of the statistics of the unemployed….. and the race begins. I do remember how I felt on graduation day. I was happy that I was done with college and I can start with the next step in life. Yet, I was scared that I might not get to where I want to be or not do the things I want to do. What if I had too high expectations of things to come? What if my future work is something i do not love? What if Hugh Jackman proposes for marriage to me and I’d be too busy to say yes? (hehe…. I just...

AND THEN, THERE WERE THREE

AND THEN, THERE WERE THREE

First it was Noemi a few years ago, today, Ting. I once had a dream that seemed so real that the sequence for our barkada for this step in life would be as follows: Noemi, Me, Ting, Binky and Zoia. Hmmmm….. since the sequence was broken with me, then it might not have been a vision but just a typical nightmare….for me that is. Today was a meaningful day for one of my high school barkada, Christine. It seems that all of us in the group were given specific tasks. Noemi, of course was in charge of the photography,...
