[Jumping to New Dept (PE)]
After 7 years working at the Quality & Reliability Dept of Intel I am moving to my new Department which is Product Engineering. Hmmm yeah, bagong experience and I'm so excited, really! Though there would be some changes in my schedules, I am taking it positively. I will be missing some of the closest friends though there would be alot of chance of meeting new ones. Saka it seems na mababait naman din ang mga taga PE. Yeah, isa sa mga hobby ko yan ang magcollect ng mga kaibigan and I am so lucky having them. ;) New roles, new work routine, new personal and career plans. watch out!
----------



[Time Management]
So busy lately but was able to divide my time accordingly.
* Been hanging out lately with 2 of my high school friends, Dang and Alex: malling, shopping, movies, hongkong noodles at kulitan! hahaha! Saksi din ako sa LQs nila ;)

* Constant chitchat, texting, IMs,YMs,lunchouts and seatmate shuttle buddies with nice and feel good friends @ work.

* Feels like getting back to school through my boss, ayos na ayos since he was able to review my Physics, Chemistry, GenSci and he even give some informative trivia and other knick knacks though our Technical Competency huddle and cubicle chat. Too bad I am transferring to PE next week and he's moving out from the company by the end of the year.

* Hectic MetroPhoto sched- we have enjoyable weekly shoots recently. Yeah, weekly! This includes prenups, weddings, corporate affairs plus food and trash the dress shoots lately. I am happy since we got lots of clients and receiving good feedbacks in emails, blogs, YM and text messages plus the fact that we are enjoying what we're doing! And the big bonus for me is that, I got chance of building good friendships from my partners: Oly (and Nina), Rache (and Oliver), Tania and our assistants Dudoy and Kiko.

*Spending my lunch time at the gym ( in the office), yeah conscious pa rin naman tyo sa health natin. I do Taebo, i loose few pounds na pero di halata ;) Oks lang! Part yan ng personal development!

* Great Family Time. Constant communication with family members, matured talks and consultion with parents (may kulitan din!), kulitan and sharing some virtues with 2 bros, bonding with cousins, titos and titas. We get more closer and well bonded, I'm so happy!

* Time consuming din ang pag enjoy ko sa bagong kwarto at masarap kong kama...hehehe
Syempre may kasamang self reflection at kung anu ano pang pang serimonyas. ;)

[Aruy! Aruy!]
Habang sinusulat ko to, naka bandage ang kaliwang paa ko, namamaga kanina, hinilot ako ni Aling Kadia, ang sakit..aruy! Namaga eh, I think nakuha ko tong sprain sa siksikan sa MRT, pagbili ko ng sapatos sa Onesimus (I got the same leather shoes na binili ko early this year, exactly same model), sobrang lakad during malling at pagiging addict sa photoshoot.Nababad pa sa malamig na tubig ng pool, during our shoot kanina.
Di ako makakapasok bukas.

[Insomia]
I just feel that bumalik na naman ang pagiging insomiac ko... Hirap ako matulog lately. Hindi maganda 'to for my health. I dont even like the feeling of being puyat. Ewan ko ba, kung sino sino yata ang nag iisip sa akin hehehe. Seriously as of this writing 50hrs na akong active, though meron akong 1 hr na tulog kaninang umaga at 1 1/2hrs kaninang hapon.

Blog EntryWe finally moved in; I just got back online...Nov 20, '07 10:28 AM
for everyone
Yep... yep! We finally moved in to our house after of a couple of months of rebuilding. Now our family is now sleeping together under one roof. There are still minor things to do by our carpenters but we decided to move in so we could spent more time and work things out together. We are starting to earn our household stuffs again, until now we haven't got sofa yet, no dinning table and no cabinet. I still live in plastic bags and sacks, yep my clothes are still in plastic bags... hahaha.
Oops by the way, i got my room painted apple green... im happy with the color of my room now and i am so excited to decorate... maybe when i got my 13th month pay, I'll get a comfy mattress and a good stuff to fill my room.
gift are also accepted, maybe things that will compliment the color of my room. :)

==========
This is my first blog written in my new room, and yes this is my first online session in our newly rebuilt house. I just bought the router 3 hours ago.
I am glad I'll have more time getting online again. Got a very little time getting online from work lately. Now, I got more time doing cyber things at home... more forum threads to read, more pictures to post. ;)

Catch you later! I'll just be around here in the cyber world.


Blog EntryA Better Life, A Sweet BeginningOct 9, '07 11:02 PM
for everyone

It's been a month and a day ago to be exact after the calamity that had happened to my family. All our things were burned into ashes by the fire that breaks out our house. We have been strugling for 31days now... so far so good.

 

Totally, a new beginning for us since day1. We have to start from scratch and my family got nothing left but the ashes of memories that we have to leave behind. The love and care for each other  plus faith in God is the assurance that we will be Ok. We are really overwhelmed how our friends supported us as days pass by. Instantaneously, assistance and relief were  immediately sense. My huge balikbayan box as my temporary closet was easily filled with used and some new clothes from friends, offcemates, and my online photography buddies. My attire for my first Metrophoto wedding shoot was courtesy of my teammate, she even treat me for a shopping for my attire from head to toe!

 

We choose to move on the soonest possible time, we made our mainstream decision to stay and build a house on the same earth. We are now building a  concrete house. The house that we are building is now founded not only by steal and concrete but will also be strengthens and will be binded by our love, respect, and family values. We believe that this home will now be more recilient to the changes in the future and will survive trials of life.  It's been over four weeks now that my family is enduring the cold nights not sleeping together under the same roof but the faith that we can recover and the flame of passion to move forward together plus the fact that we are intact keeps us warm. For now, we are enjoying what we have and value the time  that we are spending together. I can still make 'kulit' to my Nanay every time I came from work since we share the same matress at night time. It feels me like a kid again sleeping beside her everytime, it's been quite a while that I sleep on her side. For now, No DVD TV Series/ Movie bonding with Tatay but we are quite enjoying being 'construction boys' together with my two other siblings during weekends. By the end of the month, we are hoping to move on together to our new shelter.

 

One by one we gaining back the things that we lost, even better things. As of now, we are already able to buy basic home applliances for  use.

I am now back to into photography with a new set of gear, hmmm... not actually new because these are 2nd hand gears from a good friend and he gave me a very good terms and conditions of payment. I am now using 30D, a bit high level compare with my 400D camera before and an all around 24-105L lens, yes an L lens, lucky me!

 

And my latest gadget... an 8G iPhone! I must say I am a tech geek person when it comes to gadgets. And you might say it's not practical prioritizing of getting an expensive tech gadgets after what had happend. But I have my own personal justifications and all the reason of having it after loosing my ipod, laptops, my portable hardrive, not having a cable tv now and loosing my Rzor. I hope you get my point.  I am so much happy with this stuff since it really ease some anxiety and kills my boredom after all!

 

So much that I've learned in the past weeks and days and hopefully I can share it with you when our paths cross. I feel so bless right now and I am so happy with my life. I really thank God that I have my friends and family with me. I believe that evething that is happing to me now has its purpose.

 

I am now moving on for a better life, a sweet beginning...

 

See you soon!

 


Blog EntryThe SanguineAug 1, '07 8:49 PM
for everyone

I mostly tend not to take personality test specially when it's too long. But this temperament test is just right for me. The results is quite accurate... see details below and know me better..haha

I am 97% Sanguine according to this temperamental exam.

The Sanguine

If you are a sanguine, then you are most likely the life of the party. You are funny and relish the limelight. You are affectionate, enjoy social activities, and make friends easily. You are imaginative and creative, and are often the one who enthusiastically promotes new ideas on the job. People call you vivacious, generous, and light-hearted. You wear your emotions on your sleeve, but you are always quick to “forgive and forget.” You probably struggle with follow-through, are chronically late, and tend to be forgetful. As quickly as you discover a new hobby or pursuit, you can also lose interest--when it ceases to be engaging or fun.

The Sanguine / Choleric

The sanguine-choleric is the most extraverted of all the temperament combinations. With the addition of the choleric aspect, the optimistic, impulsive, fun-loving sanguine becomes more adept at follow-through, taking significant leadership roles, and juggling many projects without unduly sacrificing productivity. This temperament tends to be a happy combination of charm and decisiveness, creativity and analytical skill, friendliness and focus.

Your ability to connect with people balances out the domineering and relentless temperament of the pure choleric. You value relationships highly and make friends easily. You are insightful, enthusiastic, and affectionate; your sanguine capacity for dealing with people, combined with the leadership skills of the choleric, make you an excellent manager of people. You are also capable of constancy, dedication, and serious undertakings — though at times you may have been underestimated, due to your often humorous and light-hearted manner. You not only are capable of creative inspiration, but also you will find within yourself the persistence and drive needed to carry out your inspirations.

St. Peter may have been a sanguine-choleric. He was impulsive, enthusiastic, protective, talkative, frequently wrong — yet a heroic and passionate leader of the flock.

The bad news is that, if intellectual, human or spiritual formation is seriously lacking, this temperament blend can exhibit the worst of the two temperaments: overly talkative, brassy, opinionated, loud, rash, swift to jump to conclusions, and forgetful. If intellectual depth is lacking, this temperament mixture can become superficial, bossy, and intolerant. The high-spirited humor of the sanguine can become biting and hurtful when combined with the unforgiving, vengeful nature of the poorly formed choleric. If pleasure-seeking and impulsivity are not contained, the sanguine-choleric may wind up with a lax conscience that justifies his weaknesses, ultimately resulting in habitual sin. Easily captivated by exciting new projects or opportunities, the sanguine-choleric should watch out for his tendency to come up with great ideas, put everyone to work, and then drop the ball when the project gets tiresome. On the other hand, the natural generosity flowing from the sanguine temperament will commit him to many good works.
