God help me to be strong..i dont wanna fall right now..i still have a lot of people to help in the future and i believe that you have better plans for me..but for now..Lord..i have enough..stop hurting me..Lord..I hope everything goes well in my life!

Whew..I'm officially ok after a few days of flu and colds..the worst day was last sunday when I had to bear the coldness of the airport while waiting for my flight to taiwan! I was afraid that the avian flu detector at Taipei airport will detect my slight fever s0 i brisk my way on that part...hehe..since yesterday, I'm officially really fine already! thank God! or else I wont be able to enjoy my stay here..at least my grandparents didnt detect any signs that I have colds or fever..haha..Anyway..

Disney's Aladdin Jr. @ Greenbelt Theater

2006-08-15T17:59:00.000-07:00

My sisters with the respected Sultan!

My sisters with the wicked Jafar, the silly guard and the witty lago

My sisters with dashing ALaddin, Pretty Jasmine and the Funny genie of the lamp!

Me and my sisters watched the Aladdin Jr. Musical Production of the Prepretory Philippines last sunday at the Greenbelt theater. We all enjoyed the show and the people are really so talented and nice! I remembered my first encounter with repertory Philippines several years back when our class durin High School went to watch Romeo and Juliet and other shakespeare plays. I can see a lot of progress and a lot of new faces in their team.

This made me think that the Philippines really lack talented teams like them to perform theater and musical show..maybe not because of the lack of resources but perhaps the most critical reason is the people who appreciates theather and find time to watch them instead of the usual TV shows everyday! Right?! we should support groups like Repertory Philippines so that they can produce nicer and more shows for the us all!!

Isn't this CHow Chow sooooo cute!

2006-08-10T05:51:00.000-07:00

I want a Chow- Chow!!!

This is the only dog with black tongue..haha..why did I just said that?well..maybe it is because this is a unique thing for chow chow..Other than that all I say that is it just so cute..so if anyone of you out there has a chow chow..share me something about it! and oh yah..it originated from China?if I'm correct..hehe...chow chow..chow chow..I want a Chow chow..

Pinaparusahan ba ako ng LAngit?!

2006-08-10T05:47:00.000-07:00

aw..I've been sitting in front of my laptop for half a day already..so..meaning 12 hours na..and my baby acer is not yet working normally..like before! So before I restart it again which may take another 2 hours or so before it starts up properly..I will have to copy all needed files and uninstall the bad files that I saw when windows was checking my hard disks..hopefully everything will zoom back to normal before I got to bed tonight..

I hope I'm not being punished for anything..I just..haay..feel bad for my laptop..pls get well soon baby acer..

I want a teddy bear hamster!!!

2006-08-10T05:35:00.000-07:00

bad news..all of my guinea pigs eventually died..if you review my blog a few months back I had the scariest moment of my life when one of my four guinea pigs got sick..then one by one, 3 out of four of them died..the last one survived an additional 2 months maybe?! then last saturday it was gone! T_T sob..

Anyway..i saw these cutie hamsters at a pet shop and I was thinking to get 2 or 4 ..hehe

What's with studying online?!

2006-08-10T05:30:00.000-07:00

I get like a lot of emails lately regarding studying online and getting a degree without leaving your home..For me it sounds good but is it really that rewarding? How can you learn other things such as dealing with people, working in groups, speaking in front of the class if you will just face the monitor every day for education?

well..I do agree that they have a nice program and everything ( haven't really look into the programs deeply) but nothing beats traditional schooling..I do hope that people are not JUST AFTER that DIPLOMA and RECOGNITION of finshing a course or two..its the VALUE that you get out of that education and how you will make use of your life to ADD VALUE to the life of others..^_^

almost there?!

2006-08-10T05:20:00.000-07:00

whew..this week is like the final week already into the OJT period..and tomorrow is our mock presentation..haay..goodluck to all of us..unlucky me! My laptop failed me the whole day..it doesnt want to start properly and it takes around 2 hours to check files and start properly..so while i can still access into my account I had to take the opportunity to copy all important file..hehe..of course..my beloved gaming folders..anyway, I have better things to do than to complaint and T_T

Amazingly, I didnt really feel angry or mad this morning when my baby acer acted up..oh well, its almost two years already and i use it like around 12 hours a day so..if it needs a reformat..i will gladly give it..

the longest chinese painting..amazing..

latest update of my life!

2006-07-20T01:17:00.000-07:00

dear diary..ahihi..

There there..I finally found a few minutes to drop by my blog and write down a little of what has been keeping me busy..First, the ojt but not much of it..the on-the-job training in school has not really been a stressing thing for me. At least I'm have time for myself and the things i want to do! Secondly, I started tutoring korean kids MANDARIN..Some of them already know chinese and some just know the basics..all of them are still in grade school but I have a 7th grader student..anyway, its fun! and I like the feeling of seeing them learning something from me. The preparation thou is H**l! whew..I invest much time to preapre for the lessons

Speaking of preaprations..I'm currently making advance lesson drills for saturday! bye..

So dark the con of man

2006-05-31T18:05:00.000-07:00

okay..I'm at least a few weeks late in posting any reactions to about The Da Vinci Code..the movie and the book..I watched it last last weekend and I wasn't feeling good after the movie..huhu..maybe because of stress prior to the movie..haay..even if I was physically tired, I enjoyed the movie.

The Arts and scenery was splendid as it took the watchers to another level of awe..You can imagine that splendor especially if you have read the book before watching the film itself.

The actors were perfect and fit for their role too..silas and his company..the evil ..and the good side of Robert and Sophie would make you anticipate the next twist even if I already know the whole story by heart!hehe..

About other issues regarding the movie..first which is the block out or to ban the release the movie somewhat drew a hint of annoyance. This movie is just like any other movie that may be true and may be not depending on the person's belief. The people up there should not supress the freedom of the people from watching this film and having the chance to understand more about the fiction which may lead to the truth. Personally, I believe that this is a good way for Christians to explain our side and make known who Chirst really is..It is a time for debate..or opening up of any issues in that matter.

"It is clear that the contents of the film are acts of blasphemy and the government should not allow its distribution in a country where Jesus is accepted as Allah's (God's) prophet," Shareef Mahomed, secretary-general of the Muslim Association of Malawi, told AFP.

What do you make of that statement? well, I'm not in any position to say its wrong. Everyone has their right to the freedom of speech..

For a Opus Dei member's say about this you can read my friend's blog..

Futsal TOurnament na di natuloy..huhu..

2006-05-21T22:27:00.000-07:00

Haay..maximum stress na naabot namin last sunday because of this futsal tournament. First, the venue was not verified by the admin to its subordinates and they didn't even know that we were coming there. And there were teams that didn't showed up due to a number of reasons.

Only one was acceptable..because their car broked down on the highway and there was no way to contact them! haay..ayun..then at least the team that was already at the place early didn't get mad when we told them that the tournament will be moved and that time, they won't have to pay any registration fee, the 2 futsal DUNLOP balls will even be given to them..

anyway, even if it turns out so bad, they still wanted to play a fun game..hehe..below are the photos and the photo of the window was when a guy kicked the ball too hard that it landed to shatter a window panel..huhu..we would have to pay for it! damn..

shattered window

Emergency room

2006-05-18T04:03:00.000-07:00

Last night I was in the emergengy room because one of my pet guinea pig almost died! waahh..my mom came inside shouting that my cutie was not moving anymore and we saw it shivering..huhu..I felt a stab inside my heart as I saw this cutie suffering..

I figured out that it was my dad's fault! hhmmpp...he sprinkled a lot of water on them while he was watering the plants that's why maybe the guinea pigs got a fever or something..at least not all of them..just one!

We quickly dried it up with a hair dryer and seprated it from the other 2 then we gave it some paracetamol syrup..and thank God it is back to normal right now..happily squeaking again..whew..what a relief!

-=Result of the Tournament=-

The Classic Cup! ^^

2006-05-15T03:32:00.000-07:00

That's our flight! 4 na LaSallian all together coz all other mga taga Ateneo are late..hehe..so they had no choice but to fix a flight na all La Sallians then may marker nalang kami who was responsible to score.

Overall, our game was not that good..at least not the best of our scores pero we had fun and we managed to catch up sa back nine. We tee- off at around 7:20 and finish a little past 12.

So..we are all anticipating the awarding night tomorrow! It will be held at Wack-Wack! ang layo layu..pero punta parin kami! hehe

Gone But Not Forgotten

Don't think of her as gone away
Her journey's just begun
Life holds so many facets
This earth is only one
Just think of her as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know, today
Now nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost
And she is loved so very much.

-Anonymous

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers!

I chose this poem to reflect my feelings for today because I myself lost my biological mom when I was still little but still she lives in my heart. Although I've never really remembered her in any way..I will always feel her love for me through the many people that cares for me!

New name for Governement portal Project

2006-05-13T05:17:00.000-07:00

Rain rain go away!! never come again! wah..typhoon days..and what I hate about typhoon days is the brownout moments..nothing to do..wah..just to empty the battery of my laptop..my cellphone..and any else that I can tinker with! Well, what's nice about brownout times is the silence and this is a good opportunity to *think..and * think about things that you have always wanted to think about..haha..

Ayun, I thought of some names for the government portal:

- Eskimo's hub
- Igloo station
- Martyr's Hub
- Hub of Verserk
- Service Portal

I don't know which sounds better..just to give a little difference to the existing name.." government portal"

~commecial break lang~ hehe

the time keeper

2006-05-12T04:37:00.000-07:00

Ayan..that's one of the things we always look at..not because we want to get out of work but maybe because of two reasons..one is that there's so many things to do but so little time and maybe because of waiting in vain!waheheh...you guys know what I mean..Thinking about the 720 hours just makes me wonder what else we can possibly achieve na parang the time is too short for any project and maybe too long for planning..well, we are our own time keeper..I do hope we positively keep the time that we are given..anyway, 3 weeks palang..there's plenty of room to make up for the lost time.

1st week sa portal

2006-05-10T22:44:00.000-07:00

( sa faculty..waiting for a meeting)

Almost a week na me dito sa school nag oojt and mas ok talaga here..everything is better. I'm still adjusting thou in the tasks assigned to our team because it need some research and some "thinking" time to accomplish it. As of now, what I've been doing are to "study" and not just read the blogs @ Merlin's Foundry..edit the project description and make a draft of the business model..tsaka..gumawa ng survey form about the government ID..which needs to be edited pa..ayun..hehe..

till next blog.. :-)

the end of my first internship =(

2006-05-03T23:03:00.000-07:00

wah..first entry and its a sad story already..anyway, here I'm at the second to the last day of my stay at China Airlines. It was at first an abrupt decision to change my OJT place but I've given it some time to think.

The result? well, I've always wanted to work for an airline however it was not what I thought it would be. Of course, I'm just new here..what more could i expect?

Overall, I enjoy my stay here because I experienced a lot of work assisting at the Sales Department. Some of my jobs include the ever loved..photocopying and faxing..hehe..but of course its not just that..it was a lot of faxing and photocopying.

Other things I did here was the checking of the booking per flight per passenger. This is an everyday task of 2- 3 flights of MNL- TPE or MNL - KHH. I have to use the office system what they called ECOS and retrieve every passenger's data then check where they book their ticket and if it is one way or round- trip and where their final destination is. After this, we would have to tally it and the data everyday will be recorded into a statistical data for sales development.
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h29/gwen902/IMGP6615.jpg
Whether they will increase or decrease the fare or if its timely to push a promo...etc..at first I was only assisting in doing this but later on I was trusted to do it all by myself especially when others were to go on a sales call and I will be left here all afternoon...

Another task that was assigned to me was to translate some documents from chinese to english. The documents were about some new plans and new flight adjustment. It will be used as reference for our upper management. I was surprised thou that she ( manager) didn't understand chinese..I thought people here knows chinese..well, at least this is one task that I prove to useful..and only I can do that here in our department..haha.. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h29/gwen902/IMGP6609.jpg

The most tiring job I experienced here ( aside from staring at the ceiling..) was the tele- marketing..i had to call over a hundred travel agencies saying the same things over and over again..hehe..I was asked to inquire whether they send any recruits to Abu Dhabi and their fax number. ayun.. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h29/gwen902/IMGP6618.jpg

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h29/gwen902/IMGP6633.jpg
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h29/gwen902/IMGP6638.jpg
ayan..one of the best thing here is b-day treats..hehe..

So, why did i decide to leave here? um..its mainly because I grew tired of my idle times. I hate wasting my time doing nothing although I've tried to read..write..draw..and etc..but its not what I wanted. I wanted to do something more than that. I cannot demand thou because they are all busy. .well, the timebomb has exploded..I've given enough time to think about it..I hope my next destination will prove better..:-)
