Let's Play this Cool Game!!!!!!

Greener Pastures: Is it really for the best? or for your Headaches?

When we talk about careers, we are talking about our future and on how we will sustain life as it is. I find it somehow absurd, if one resigns in his work then his employers or boss becomes bitter and tries to give you one heck of pain. I think it is a personal choice of the person to say quits or not…. Bitterness is not an acceptable response.

I’m writing this because right now I’m in that situation. I find it very hard to leave my company and I don’t know why I’m having all this headaches… So let me slice the story a little bit.

I owe a lot of debt and gratitude to the company because they allowed me to have a Master’s degree for free literally. They financed my Masters education BUT tied me to work for them for 2 years after my graduation. So it’s been 10 months already after my graduation, and I realized that I do not completely owe them. I worked and studied hard for that degree, and I think all the work should be credited on my name because it’s not them who answered the entire test, worked 24 hours just to pass a project, and scuffled till death just to finish my Thesis. I believe I really worked hard for it.

Then recently, a received a job offer from another company. They called me if I’m interested to be interviewed and I said yes. Why not? It’s an opportunity that you shouldn’t miss. I went there and fortunately after series of interviews and tests, I got the job.

They are offering a better compensation package that’s way above what I’m earning in my company…. So what do you think is the best thing to do? Of course, I accepted the offer and filed my resignation in my company… That’s when all the trouble began…..

Headaches..... stress..... problems.... etc... what @ #$%&!!!!!


I really have to find a way to pay my "Education Bond"....

besides the usual shouting, sour-graping, black-mailing, etc from your superiors.... hahahahahahah

You're There, I'm Here....

You're There, I'm Here....

A new poem composed by myself.... In the midst of uncertainty and melancholy... :)

Just Thinking...

10 minutes before 12 PM, I'm still here in my desk waiting for my eyes to swell. I keep on thinking of the best decision to take in my queuing career.

By next year I’ll be sent by my Company to Austin Texas for a work assignment… Yes it’s flattering because you’re been given a chance to work abroad and be with different people of different cultures…. But …. And will always be but….. Will I be happy there?..


Working abroad has never reached my mind ever since I’m a child…. My dad, until now, is working abroad just to give us, his children, the best life he can offer.. I always admire my dad for the sacrifice of being far from his family… I wanted him to go back and be with us… but I know it’s not yet the right time…


My sister works in UK and I know how hard she feels right now, not seeing her children grow up… but that is Life’s injustice… we have to make sacrifices for what we believe is true and best for us and our loved ones…


And now…I’m about to experience the same fate…. Although for just 10 months, it is still duration away from your loved ones...

I always believe that “Leaving someone you love is less painful than seeing your love leave you behind……”…… And it’s true… and I don’t want to do it to them…..

He can read your MINDS... Beware!!!!

Press here and find out this psychic who can read minds... heheheh... Enjoy!!!!!!

Random Thoughts

Random Thoughts
By me

I want to see the beauty in everything,
I want to raw the hardness inside me.
I want to please the one’s I love,
as much as I want my life to last.


Sometimes I reap my valley of dreams.
I drove for miles just to reach its peak.
It’s not easy and most of the time I fall,
In every slippery edges of this rocky slopes.


Each time I fall, it made me cry,
For I know time is running so fast.
Dreams fall, my hopes die,
Flowers bloom, yet crows fly high.

X-Men III - Directors Club Cinema Mall of Asia

We thought that I-Max theater will feature X-Men III, but we were wrong. After queuing in a sweat flooded lane of the cinema counter, we found out that we will not be able to experience X-Men the IMax way... hahahaha... Because the theater still features the unknown-unpopular-baduy-etc-etc movies Nascar and Everest.... haayyy... So we decided to choose from the regular cinemas.... We did not want to purge ourselves to those people who wanted to insert themselves to regular showing times and have to queue again just to have a good seating location inside the regular cinemas... So we decided to watch the movie in the Directors Club cinema...

Actually it was quite fun and relaxing. With 30 persons watching inside, a free drink, unlimited popcorn, a very comfy lazy-boy chair, it was like a Theater inside your own house. Although we already watched a movie in a lazyboy furnished cinema in MBK Bangkok (Alien Vs Predator to be exact), it is quite amusing to realize that you can experience that exceptional movie-relaxation hang over within the corners of Metro Manila. It is indeed quite fun. Although everything good has it's lapses, Directors Club in Mall of Asia is worth 300 Pesos a person. So if you have extra money to pamper yourself... Why not!... If not just queue in the regular cinemas besides, the same movie will be shown... Ciao....

X-Men movie - San Mig Imax theater Mall of Asia

X-men III is now showing and we can't wait till Saturday to watch it.. We are planning to watch X-Men in Mall of Asia. Mall of Asia boasts of its San Mig Imax Theater, the first Imax Cinema in the Philippines. Besides that it has an 8-storey equivalent screen... whoooaahhh... That's one heck of a big screen... Really can't wait to watch there....

We went there during the opening, and I was really amazed by the hugeness of the mall.... Although I got claustrophobic because of the thousands of people around (would you imagine that parking spaces are full and even the vacant lots surrounding the mall are occupied), I consider this mall the best so far in the Philippines... Far far away compared to the usual "SM Malls" here... It has something different.. Something unique...

So I'll just update you after Saturday.... Ciao....

Oh wait... if you want to have more information regarding Mall of Asia.... just click the link

Movies

I'm a movie goer... loveeeee to watch movies... Besides that it is one of the few activities we (my hon and I) enjoy to do, it is something that keeps you updated (in case you're living in a shallow, 4-sided wall... heheheh). We usually enjoy going out of town, visiting different places, but that is costly. And since out-of-towns are expensive, we divert our energies to malls, virtual tennis (video game/arcade), timezone, and movies….


For the 5 years we’ve been together we already watched a number of movies… you want me to enumerate all? Heheheh joke… because I can’t remember anymore… heheheh….

The recent movie that we watched is “When a stranger calls” last May 1, labor day. It is a suspense/thriller movie. The movie is good but “for me” (take note.. “for me”) the movie lacks an introduction about who the heck is the suspect what so ever… I just have a lot of questions regarding the story, characters, etc…. but all in all, the movie is good…. A thriller per se…


Prior to “When the stranger calls” we watched “The Wild”…. I love animation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I’m looking forward to the big animation movie…. “CARS”…… :):):)

A Beautiful Analogy

To my batchmates in Adamson University: I received an email from Tine... As usual it is a forwarded email... joke.... but anyways, it is quite a beautiful email that will open our minds about the things in life. You will then realize that God gave us obstacles to learn good things. There will always come a time we feel down and depress, but Let's not blame God for all those jinx that comes our way. Let's blame ourselves for forgetting to thank God for all the things He has showered in us....


very inspiring.... See what a good email can do to your day.......

KUNG PINOY SI NOAH… Ganito ang mangyayari sa arko

The Simpsons

Do you love to watch cartoons? How about the simpsons? Well, I love to watch that show during my younger years, and I miss watching it. Anyways, if you love the simpsons cartoon, and have watched and noticed its preview every start of the show, you'll like this video footage I saw... It's the real-life simpsons.... yeah...

I Never Thought

I took a break for 10 minutes after long hours of coding my project. I am so stressed out and I was looking for a way to release all my invisible burden (hehehe). Then suddenly, I told myself why not write a poem, just like the old days... I used to be a Literary Editor in one of my alma maters. So I just did, and I want to share it to all of you..

The poem is all about love, about finding love unexpectedly. It shows how to be patient and how to be thankful for all that God has given us... Hope you like it....

Here's the link.......................

Time

We only have one life. We only borrowed it from God. It is something that we should treasure and value. The time given to us should always be well spent.

Sometimes we often neglect the importance of time. Maybe because we are too pre-occupied by different things. Sometimes we always tell ourselves that we still have tomorrow to do the things that should be done by now.... then the cycle goes on and on until we reached the end of the line.

I received a very interesting email that taught me how to realize the value of time.... click here...

This does not make SENSE!!!

I received a forwarded email from a friend of mine entitled "Kung Tinatamad". At first I thought that this will somehow cheer me up coz the topic is quite interesting. But as I read the content, it turns out to be a TURN-OFF! This is really non-sense and I just hope that people that write such stuff will realize that what they are doing is "BADUY". This is so elementary and I just can't bare reading it up to the last sentence...

Whoever you are... sorry.... not my type of stuff.. :(

About Friendship... by Anain Nin

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. "

Anais Nin

Indeed it was... Each friend represents a part of ourselves.. Each friend mirrors a part of your soul...

Greed sometimes turns to bread...

Today is Valentines day.... I'm not usually celebrating this day. I always consider everyday a "Love day" coz I have my family, friends, and my honey. I always look at this day as an ordinary day...

A while ago, while working I recieved a mail coming from UNICEF. Actually it was mailed by BPI(Bank of the Philippine Islands). They are asking for donations (via Credit Card... *sigh*) for support in their projects, which is to prevent the death rate of mothers and babies here in the Philippines. Noble cause but I told myself I am also in need... I have alot of wants... I still have so many dreams....

But things took a turn and I flushed away my greed, and started reading the letter. The mail is actually compose of a letter, a sort of a "book-catalogue" about the information of the death rate here in the Philipines, and a Business Reply Envelope. All materials are made up of cheap recycled paper... cheap.. yes it was all recycled.... but indeed it was full of meaning... full of love... full of care... full of art..

I never thought that I'll be moved.... I was not moved by the pictures... nor the statistics... nor the mother's and babies.... I was moved because I realized I'm very blessed to be where I am now. I am moved because I realize that while I eat my breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there are families begging for food. I realized that all my wants and material dreams are just luxuries... and not necessities.... I realized that there are alot of people in dire need of love, nourishment, and care... I realized that I have "more" than what I should have... I realized I have spare.....


Lastly I realized that the least thing that I can do is to share....
