Ginebra! Ginebra!

Naiba yun isusulat ko bigla. Dapat isang japanese movie pero dahil sa napanood ko kanina, bigla ako ginanahan magsulat tungkol sa pinakasikat na basketball team, di lang sa PBA, kung hindi sa pinas! Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings! O baka mali yun monicker na alam ko. hehe 

For the past 2 games, noong napanood ko sila against RoS siyempre, eh laugh trip. Alam ko na di naman ako magaling na basketball player in person pero knowledge na lang saka as a fan. Nag grow ito dahil sa kapapanood ng NBA, at pati yun ibang liga like PBL, DLeague PBA, NCAA, UAAP at siyempre PBA. Pag may chance nga na FIBA or Euroleague, patusin din. hehe Tapos nadagdagan pa ng odds dati ha, ayun na.. Analyzing basketball games became fun. 

Eh yun nga, game 1, dapat panalo na Ginebra kaso anak ng tinapa, biglang nag bwakaw ang magaling na tinyente at tira lang ng tira yun mga malaki kahit labas na sa range nila.. Ayun, napalakad pa sa half court si Coach Tim, tapos ang laro, umiinit yun RoS, tapos game 1! Dikit yun laban at masaya.

Kanina lang, 4th quarter na, nakadikit na ng 8 points yun Ginebra, aba bigla naman ano ano pinaggagawa sa depensa. Nalibre si Quiñahan, Jeff Chan, hanggang kay Ahamisi?! Partida pa yun RoS, tinapa, yun import, labas pasok pa. Hinihingal agad eh. hehe Sila Slaughter, di makaseal o pasok, ang laki naman niya. Yun import mabuti sumusunod kaso siyempre may pastar na PG ulit at naman, wag kalimutan si Caguioa. Kakamintis na tira niya, upo sa 4th quarter. Si Thomson ginamit na mukhang ok, kaso minama siya ng mga Norwood, Chan at Cruz. Yun mga malalaki ng RoS nagpapakamatay sa rebound saka position. Sila Slaughter at Japeth, wala, nakatulala lang. Lalo na si Japeth, hay naku. Di ko alam kung may IQ siya talaga or lost lang siya. Grabe.. Talon ng talon pero ang hilig sa jump shot. Ang hilig sa labas, bakit? 

If you ask kung naging fan ako nang team na to, oo naman dati. Añejo rhum pa no. hehe Pero hanggang Coach Uchico lang, kasi pumasok na yun RoS and Alaska. Lalo na nung tinanggal si Coach Jong tapos ano ano na pinag gagawa nila, ayun na, laugh trip na sila lagi. Kahit un huling finals nila, aba wala din.. Injured lahat and un import. Paano sila mananalo nun? 

Ayoko ko na pahabaan pa kung bakit sila naging ganito. Maraming dahilan, maraming paraan, kankungan pa din ang patutunguhan. Para manalo naman sila at lalo magfinals man lang kasi mahiya na sila. Coach Tim Cone na ha, tapos ganyan pa din? Di ko lam kung ano growth na sinasabi ni JDV nangyari this conference eh parang wala naman nagbago. 

Ok na yun coach, may sistema na at di ko siya sisihin kung bakit puro talo sila. Di gaya ng mga dating coach, na talagang mga ungas. Simple lang gawin nila, palitan si Long hair! 

Sorry, di pala, palitan yun halos buong roster. Kahit disappointing si Gregzilla, pero nagimprove talaga siya.. Kulang pa din.. Maganda yun triangle pag siya first option. Si Japeth, sad to say, habang may trade value pa, itrade na! Sama niya na si Chris Ellis na di ko alam ano ginagawa niya. Mahina sa depensa, di niya alam ginagawa sa opensa, tanggalin na siya. Si LA, kahit gusto ko din palitan, di pwede, siya nakakaalam ng triangle saka si JDV. No choice din palitan si JDV kasi kay Tim Cone lang lagi naglalaro. Nakabuenas na player. hahaha Pa especial. Si Sol, pwede siya itago or trade, may times na bagay siya, may times, na hilo din siya. 

Ang daming pa players na di ko kung fit.. Si Thompson may future yan, kailangan lang mababad. Si Cruz, depende din. Ah siyempre, yun Fast and Furious, pwede ba sabay na sila magretire? Now na?! Hahaha Wag na yun Helterbrand muna tapos Caguioa.. Diyos miyo, alam na nila dapat gawin. Sayang yun dalawang spot sa kanila. Di na talaga sila effective eh. Nakakalungkot aminin, mas magaling pa din yun kaedad nila, like Dondon o kahit si Alapag na nagretire na, napilitan lang maglaro ulit, may laro pa. Kahit si Asi or Eric Menk, effective. Di ko lang alam sa dalawang to, baka pwede pa itrade. hahahaha

Ah, dahil maraming players ang pwede itrade, ayun itapos sila sa mga mahinang team. Diyan naman sila magaling dati, aba gawin na ng tama ngayon di ba. hehe Saka kunin yun draft picks, mas maganda yun mataas at kumuha sila ng mga 2 shooters talaga. Sa triangle, di naman pwede isa o dalawang shooter lang o may isang big man at isang shooter lang. Kailangan marami shooter. Gaya ng bulls, ang daming shooter dun, di lang naman si MJ or Pippen yun. O gaya na lang ng GSW na lang, sa 5 players nila on the court lagi, 3-4 pwede mag 3 points or good mid range shooters. Wala sila nun sa team na to.

Nakakaawa naman ang fans, unti unti na nauubos kahit sa Araneta marami pa din. Tuwing nagbabasa ako ng comments or napapanood ko sila sa TV, kahit masaya sila napapanood, pero pagkatapos nun, sila yun pinaka bad trip pag natalo. Tulad na lang nung game 1, may nambato ng mineral water at natamaan yun attendant. Grabe.. Kahit masama siyempre ginawa niya, aba galit na siya sa nangyayari sa team.

Alam ko matagal pa magsink in yun triangle, kahit 2 coaches na ang nagimplement sa kanila nito. hahaha Pero may hope pa naman para magchampion sila.. Kasi champion nga sila, sa bora cup naman. hahaha 

Nakakatuwa lang kasi marami talaga silang fans at sana, manalo sila. Sa canteen, tricycle station, o kahit online na lang, pag panalo ginebra, parang buong barangay nagsasaya! Yun lang, sana mapabilis lang yun plano nila kasi kaya naman agad agad yun, lalo na may mga players na gets agad yun play saka maayos na depensa lang.. Tanggalin pa din si Japeth..

Di naman ako lilipat sa team na to kahit magchampion sila. Iba na ko ngayon..

Pero, iba talaga pag Ginebra ang bida. =)

Hay kakagising ko lang.. Gusto ko hindi pumasok today. hahaha Pero don't worry ilang days na lang, matatapos na din to. For now, all I can say, sobrang blessed ako for the past two months. May mga di naman ako inexpect na nangyari maganda at may mga expected ako na kahit di naman malaki, nangyari pa din. Thank God! 

Hay, dapat tinapos ko na ito kagabi kaso well, medyo hectic ang sked ko. Saka dami ko ginawa in the past weeks. Kasama mo pa ang 4x11 sked ko for the months.. At may ibang pa ako ginawa.. Hay, di ka nga sa calls, dami naman ginagawa. hehe Saka ayun, Thank God, ok naman si Mommy. Malinaw na from her operation. Pasensya na ulit sa mga FB post or twitter whatever, kasi may transition pa ko ginagawa kaya di ako lagi sa FB. Soon, malamang lagi ako sa FB. hahaha

It's sad that I have no news about friends for the past month?! That's how hectic I am. Despite of that not reliant in FB, I think I should check it once a day. hehe Grabe si Steph, 3 point line niya sa half court!!!!! Ano depensa gagawin mo sa kanya? Ano na? Di naman pwede laging dikit ka sa kanya! Tinapa, may tatalo ba sa team nila? hehe 

Ano ba, ah ito, kailangan ko magayos na mga bagay bagay.. Eh naubos oras ko sa ganun. hehe Ano pa, wala pang bago pero may magbabago. hehe Great thing pala, I thought wala na ko mabilan ng extra HDD, pero mabuti mayrun!!!! Kaso, sa susunod, back up na talaga kailangan ko. hahaha

Well, what else.... I'll just spend the last days at work, being productive! I'll be going into a place 
like..

Uncharted. 

What if..

(Mar Roxas is our next president)

Anak ng tinapa, noong nakita ko yun pesteng advertisement niya... Nastress ako. Hahaha One time, parang nakita ko yun isang event niya, tapos may kasama pang drama na dahil daw sa CCT eh guminhawa ang buhay nila.. Tapos yakap naman ito.. Style bulok talaga! haha Isipin ko na lang, pag siya naging presidente, parang mas paurong ang growth ng bansa natin. Paano? Daang matuwid pa din. Diyos miyo. hehe

Inaamin ko, binoto ko siya noong for VP, kaso inalat kay Binay. Gusto ko siya dati kasi alam niya ginagawa niya as DTI at economic policies, kaso nung tumagal at nung natalo.. At nung nag asawa na, aba nag iba na siya.. Di na simple yun dating niya, yumabang na! Kaya sabi ko, lalo nung tumakbo siya, wala na, matatalo na siya. Pero malay mo, may magic mangyari at bigla siya manalo. Malamang ang magandang magagawa lang niya eh focus sa economic growth natin. Except sa income tax na di daw niya ibaba, feeling ko mapaparami pa yun foreign investments dito kasi isusulong niya easy to do business here strategy. Saka, isa pa naiisip ko, yun coordinating ng local government maayos niya. Yun lang naiisip na matutuloy niya, pero yun ibang problema natin..

Poverty will increase lalo pag wala siya nagawang solution sa mga mawawalang trabaho na OFW from middle east dahil sa tension and economic slowdown. Dagdag mo pa kung aasa lang siya sa CCT. Yun pork barrel, gagawin niya legal with some manuvering. Peace and order, wala siya magagawa eh yun gusot sa yolanda di niya maayos, paano pa with the other departments? Lalong magkakagulo dahil lalakas ang loob ng mga rebelde or terrorist. Di niya mahahandle yan kahit malakas pa AFP natin..

Ang huli pang problema niya, ang mga pabor sa partido niya. Grabe kung sino sino ilalagay niya sa cabinet, malamang barkada na naman.. Bwisit, mas lalong walang mangyayari sa buhay natin lahat. Hay, di ko alam kung paano tayo uunlad kung sila sila lang makikinabang! Kahit magaling siya sa talumpati, pero hanggang ganun lang yan.. Wala nang pagbabago diyan lalo malaki partido niya kasama pa si Pnoy.

Ewan ko, sa tatlong binigyan ko example, pagbibigyan ko pa si Binay o Grace, pero sa kanya, wala talaga. At nakakatawa, Wharton pala ha. He doesn't looks one especially with the decisions, dumb founded decisions he is making. Wala na tayong pag asa..

Daang matuwid na puro bahid. hehe

May forever pala sa kanya, 3rd place forever! hahaha

Eye of the Beholder

Wow, I can't believe that I have survived six months of anxiety and confusion. Still looking this plain ID. I don't know what will happen to me after this.. Green lace looks good but now looks rusty. Almost dirty it seems.. The ID I bought from office warehourse surprisingly sturdy. Although it has dust on it, it can look clean in seconds if I want to.

I'm now also feeling nostalgic.. 10 years in the industry and I felt just right. Not satisfied but I feel peace. I mean as other contemporaries I know, they are now successful. I'm such a sore loser. Hahaha But as I prepare myself to a different path this coming year, although I'm nervous but I feel at ease. I don't know why, but I feel I will nail it this time. 

Besides, I look at my side and it seems I have no choice but to try. Enough of this pathetic ID, I'm now watching another pathetic jdrama, which I'll discuss later. I can't believe I'm surviving watching this one. hehe

Watching japanese dramas or series, kinda soothes me.. Even I gave up listening to my music library. I'm looking at this computer table, and I hope I can change this soon. Although it has many fun and interesting things and computers supported this table.. It served enough and time to make a change. I'm not looking for a very glassy table or shiny leather ones.. I think I just need a productive table.. I can't believe my computer is running so smooth that it's like a new computer again. I just hope that my old HDD still works even as a storage. Besides, I need a lot of storage especially 5 TB of data is running out. Surprisingly, I stopped getting files at that rate! 

Now.. I only staring this letters at the pointer. Thinking of not to write anymore as it will overlap my final blog of the year. 

I'll just focus staring Kurashina Kana. =)

Pagkatapos nito, dalawa na lang! hahaha Mahahabol ko na yun mga post na kulang ko for the past, 3 months? Grabe... Hay ano ano kasi inabot ko malas sa computer, una DVD drive tapos sa huli, palit HDD na talaga. Ayun, eto mukhang bago ang computer ko. Ang bilis! hahaha Mamaya yun ultimate test.. Pirata!

I learned a lot at those times na parang ano na gagawin ko pag ayaw gumana ang pesteng computer ko. Dun ko natutunan na importante ang computer ko kaysa sa phone. Second close ang phone. hehe I mean in my material possesions. Grabe ang DOTA dati kasi nagsave pa ko para sure na aandar, pero sa bagong HDD, isang save lang at tuloy tuloy na ang laro! Ganun pala. Kaso kailangan ko magingat kasi seagate ito kaya yun rumors na madali ito masira eh malalaman na natin in the next years. hehe

Gulat ako, black WD HDD na ako, parang 2 years lang, nagloko na! Ganito na ba HDD these days or talagang kailangan ko na mag virus scan. hehe Or sinobra ko ang punishment sa HDD kasi naman sa download. hehe I can't tell but sana gumana pa siya as storage. 

Sana manalo USTe mamaya, paabutin naman ng game 3, sayang kasi punta nila sa unexpected finals. Well, hula ko naman is FEU from the start of the season talaga. Iba kasi nilalaro nila. Pero siyempre, never give up na may pusong USTe. Ang bilis naman ng panahon, December na! Akalain mo, sobrang bilis ng panahon this year. Nung first quarter sobrang bagal, pero after nun, ayun na. Napakabilis ata. 

About work, can't believe I'm performing well. Surviving pa. Saka ayun, malapit na regular for this month. Kahit may times talaga na parang kakatams na, ayun, performing pa din. I don't know why but I just don't want to lose in a way na dahil di ko lang ginagawa ang work ko. Pero grateful pa din ako sa work and now I'm planning smart and we'll see in the next 2-3 months. hehe

Ah, sana naman may tumalo sa GSW, di pwede yun maka 33 wins sila. Mga ambisyoso, tama na yun mga 20 wins. hehe Pero dapat may makatalo, kahit Philly pa yan, talunin nila yan! hahaha Ano pa, number one Alaska ko! Parang lumakas sila kahit same line up, same play, pero si the Beast, parang naging one option na siya. hehe Pero same play lang sa kanya. Sana tuloy tuloy na yan. Yun Ginebra, may himala ha. Parang natauhan na ata sila, maaga pa pero sana matalo sila! hehe

Ano pa, my wish for Christmas, sa kin na lang yun pero yun iba, makuha yun mga kailangan ko at yes, start na to achieve my small goals. Yun lang, happy na ko. Happy naman ako at I can say, very lucky this year. Despite some big losses..

I think that will make you stronger right? Oh siya makapaglaba nga muna.

A little sigh, watching some advertising spots in that big wide LCD. I thought it will be more useful if they show the queue rather than company commercials, or other promotional ads. Although some of them is fun, but others, such a waste. A big company like this, very big, giving away bags to elementary kids. Or build houses for a community. Hmmmm, other smaller companies can do better than that. 

This wide yet small floor of ours, well looks vibrant because of the fixtures here. Very quiet operations floor compare to other centers. I'm looking at my other sides,  nothing really interest me except well, that big window at the other side. I've never had a chance to stay at that side. However, I can see how busy EDSA is and I'm lucky staying here. Although, geez, just making the ends meet, work seems a bit light at some parts in a day.

When I look straight, there is an ongoing ops meeting with TL's and erghhh, that OM and that SOM passed by. Slave drivers.. Some day, they'll meet their dooms. Geez, I can't imagine how those TL's stay with these bosses. Anyway, I'm looking some emails and I can sense, I'll pass this month. Not only that, bond is damn over.. Hmmmm what to do next? Oh, others, just making veteran moves, delaying and using ACW wisely.

For now, I don't know yet what will interests me after staying here. Although in my mind, I have plans running and all I need to do is choose. My eyes are kinda bored looking at those monitor and my hands are not following what I type in to these keys. 

Those eyes what to see goals achieved right in front of it. I'm not pretty sure how the beholder can achieve those goals. I look to my left and right hands, grasping for answers! 

I'll know those answers soon. 

For the mean time, enough of the hold time and get back to this pesky customer.

Hay, sana may replay yun Amachan pag weekend. Para makita nga kung may effort yun pagdub nila. Parang di naman nila tinutupad yun usapan ng TV5 sa NHK, na dapat may replay everyday! hehe Tuloy, tiyaga na lang ako sa stock ko.

Matagal na ko di nagmamadali ng sulat. Yun feel the rush kung baga! hahaha Parang college ba, pag may project na kailangan tapusin, yun tipong next day na ang submission! hehe Pero ayun, di ko na nararanasan yun. Wala na kasi pesteng prof!

Ayos, walang topak ang computer ko! For the past days, di na nagloloko at nakuha ko na din yun mga programs na di magpapaloko ng computer. Kaso siyempre, iba din ang orig.

Sayang talaga yun Gilas! Letche China to, gusto lahat na sa kanila! Kala nila madali olympics, gusto ko makita tambak ng 50 sa isang game niyan. hahaha Ok na si Tab, gusto kun style niya. Dapat bigyan siya ng magandang lineup! Di gaya nung ibang coach diyan. hahaha

UST!! Second round na, well, pagbigyan nga yun DLSU bukas! hehe Anak ng tinapa, malapit na yun NBA! Napanood ko kanina yun preview ng Clippers, letche napakalakas na team. Pinaka wild card na magchampion sila, lalo pag ok ang chemistry nila.. Pag hindi, naku walang kwenta!

Hay, tapos na ang medyo panget na season for jdrama. Ayos, mukhang maganda ang mga shows for this coming season, lalo na may Prison School live action!!! Mamouru Asana!!!! Nyak!!! hahaha Perfect role!!!!

Bad trip, dami ko namiss na lakad last week.. Iba talaga pag nagaayos ng computer ng matagal. First time to, grabe... Dahil walang pera at other tutor or help, self fix na lang!!! hahaha Trial and error at kaunti dasal, eto na.. Ok na ang computer ko. hehe Kaya I'm very optimistic about purchasing orig.
Work? Hmmmm basta masasabi ko, mabuti na lang at malapit, not bad to start over, pero di din magtatagal, lalo pag bad tripan na... Alam na. Honestly, it was hard to do all in a flash. Sacrifices, sadness or even despair. Well, for this year, as they said about that those who born in the year of the boar have the best luck. Or better year than other chinese zodiac.

After fruitless months and felt I'm still here..

That prophecy is becoming true... I'm kinda lucky!

Attack on Titan (Live action Movie)

I thought my experience with Lupin III last year will be the last. I mean that not good experience with live action adaptations coming from Japan themselves. Maybe this movie will change that.. Despite the spoilers and a lot of negative reviews! I thought of saving 200 pesos to watch this, instead of eating out with my wave mates. 

Anyway, enough of that intro and lets go straight to the movie.. Sad to say, it has only few good points! First, only one actress stand out and it's Hans by Ishihara Satomi, fully wrapped character, a crazy character. Suprisingly, did not do any of that flying moves but she was energetic and I felt that energy in her character. However, she did not do really much. But great thing, she still looks good despite with that outfit. Second, the last hmmmmm 20 mins of the film, kinda like it because it's almost the copy of the anime I saw last year. Good job on that and actually that's it. Ah yes, I forgot another good one, the blood and gore. hehe

Ok! Bad parts, I know I might sound biased or well, very disappointed because I saw this, ehem in a streaming site. However, with this film, it kinda save me some time and money going to the theater and watch this again. Not a chance!

First bad part, I felt, this film was made in a hurry. When I saw the announcement last year or I guess this year and the set will be used for the film, I knew... Despite they have a big budget (for a japanese film), it will look like not good. Months later, it only not look good but also, doesn't look like they really used the budget right. I thought there will be action from the first scene, as the manga and anime suggest, it was not.. First scene was all about carnage and seeing humanity very helpless. The set was just one town and no other towns or stages shown but it's just one stage. That's really a tight budget. 

Second part, the special effects used, although it's quite promising but not neat, except for the blood and gore parts! And of course, how the titans eat the humans, I thought they will kinda cut that off due to general audiences. But they kept it yet not polished. Sorry for the spoiler, the very big titan only showed up for minutes and the one I like, the armor Titan was not even there. The breaking wall sequences was also not polished. How about the flying sequences? Hmmmm not that great because it's few and yeah, not detailed. Titans look scary but it's just you know its CGI. If they used like the effects in the recent Godzilla, or WETA type of effects, then that will really help the film. Add to that bad shots at night! Oh my... It's so dark (maybe because it's bootleg. hehe) and it's confusing. 

Lastly, the cast! Lupin III suffered greatly because of the story and the pace but not really the actors. This film, the rest of the characters were not fit for the roles. Except for Takeda Rina who I thought she will do most of the action stuff because of her background but suprisingly she done a dramatic role and sorry, died! What! The next characters I liked, Mikasa and the Captain of the Squad, sorry that's the 2 members of the attack squad! hahaha Geez, cost cutting. Can't believe it! 

Oh I forgot, I do understand they made the changes so they can fit the story into film and well.. Budget reasons? The changes they made, did not really help the film. I mean I hope they kept Levi's character instead of Armin who only shows like thrice in this film.. Mikasa's story became also surprising! And of course, from the first scene until how Eren became a soldier, also confused me and thought, they should have really planned for those changes. Eren by the way, I'm disappointed on how they put him in this story. I just liked him at the end. 

By the way, thanks to dramanice.tv for the view! You really saved me 200 plus bucks.. hahaha I thought, great thing, I spent time and a little money to eat with my wave mates and no drinking. Few food but more laughs.. I enjoyed. Also, there was one scene that I could say, not only I laughed but kinda intrigued! Hmmmm that was hot. Almost but not quite to save the film. hehe Never that scene! 

Will I watch the prequel TV series? Maybe... It's because of Ishihara, Takeda, Sakuraba and that another hot character.. hehe I'll just wait for them to load it up!

This film, I can say.. One of the worst adaptations. I hope US version will do justice for this which I think, they'll do right because the setting is more western. I did not know how this film became a japanese setting. I'll just wait for this to be available for keeps, with Lupin III because I kept the bad ones like Black Butler and Gatchaman. It was Gouriki's fault anyway. hahaha

I hope, they'll do good in the last part which is next month! Will I give them a chance? 

Do I have a choice? 

NO. Let the titans come in!  

unplanned 65

Wow, dami ko naman napanood na trailers. Very disappointed that well, mukhang I just wait for something happens. hehe Other things, ok naman.. Ilan beses na ko nag system image restore in a week so in the future I'm thinking to get a stable set up ng windows ko. I'm thinking ubuntu pero baka lahat ng apps ko di naman umandar. I'll think of it in the future. 

Bilis naman ng panahon, one month in my new work. Almost 3 years for me to take calls non stop, parang the skill did not leave me. Wow, I can't believe this. hahaha It's like writing, can't go away.  It seems my sked will be weird for sometime so, ok lang, steady lang. I'm making some progress about fixing my site, although draft pa lang, pero naiisip ko na yun design and overall UI. In the coming months, I maybe need some help about it. 

Naisip ko din bumili ng orig windows but I'll wait instead for 10 with the reviews and let's see how it will go along. Nakapagtataka na mura na pala ng windows 8 ngayon. I know 8k is expensive but unlike windows 7 na umaabot dati na 10k right? Wait and see strategy muna. 

Di na ko pumunta ng Eiga Sai this year, it's not because I don't like to, eh nagsimula na ang trend.. I already have most of the films before they show it here. Naisip ko, ganun na pala ako kaddict sa Eiga. Grabe. hahaha Maybe I'm done searching my preference films, or the films for collection. Parang japanese cinema na hinahanap ko na. I even look for japanese box office which this week, number one ang Hero (Kimura Takuya's titular role). Bad trip naman yun film na Mozu, nagshooting sila dito, wala man lang publicity. Nandito pa naman si Maki Yoko!!! Erghh.. hehe 

What else, yeah, I'm giving my computer to start up for 20 mins because of the 2 pesteng notifications para sure di maghang. That intel security thing and the update windows icon. Napansin ko kasi pag wala pa yun dalawang icon na yun, nagloloko agad yun pc ko at worse, restore na. Bwisit talaga. hahaha Pero may naisip na ko ways to improve it and better yet have a great set up. I'll do that pag naayos na yun data management ko ng library. Mahirap na magsimula ulit maginstall. hehe

For now, ano pa ba.. Ah, ano pala gagawin ni Tim Cone sa Ginebra, kakain ng kangkong? hehe Oh baka gusto niya maaliw aliw sa bora every conference. Pwede di ba.. hehe I don't know, Ginebra doesn't really need a great coach to win.. Hay.. Basta may mga players diyan na walang kwenta, same result!

Next week, I'm starting to lessen my internet surfing whatever addiction. hahaha Just need to focus for some skills that I need to improve. Lalo na tipid tipid, I'll do self study. Hay... Can't wait to start this weekend! 

Pero pahinga muna ako, it has been a chaotic week.. But fun!

Wow, Friday na. hehe Just watching the NBA draft at parang nakakagulat yun Okafor na napunta pa sa Philly? Kidding me right? hehe Anyway...

Next week will be a different week for me. Maybe it's time for the start of change.. Changes pala.. Actually I recently had a start na. It's kinda weird pero well, let's see.  Panalo na Alaska mamaya. hahaha Hay, grabe, sayang ang CLE pero mabuti naka 2 panalo pa. Sobrang partida. Paano kung kumpleto line up nila? Patay na GSW? hehe Pero di ko naman hate ang GSW, I like them kaso kung nasan si Lebron, doon ako! 

Hmmmm if everything went well starting Monday, ah I might sound weird in my next post. Baka thinking din, kasi I'm studying something. So, yun lang. Self study. Darn, it will be a self study months for me. Grabe, I need a lot of guides for these lessons. 

Ah, indeed, rainy season na. Kahit di na ko magdilig ng halaman namin sa umaga, eh ok lang. Paano, umuulan ng sandali lagi sa umaga. Pero sana wag naman malakas yun mga ulan. Grabe, sa sobrang adik sa jdorama, aba.. Halos lahat ng shows this season, talagang monitor ko. Well, may mga panget, may iba, ayos! It's better than last season. Sure yun!

What else.. Ah, tagal naman ng bagong film, terminator ang tagal! Naisip ko parang di sulit siya. Hehe I'm thinking well, mas maganda kung panoorin ko siya ng libre. Paano kaya? 

Hay, mukhang nakakalimutan ko na manood sa movie library ko because of jdorama. Pero mukhang mangyayari na, due to some, normal routine. Parang pwede na. 

Damn, I already old. Like, thinking na a decade na ko natratrabaho,  going here and there.. Got in a relationship once, a complicated one. Found a fun and very unique skill which I did not know before.. Having this and that at marami pa, so parang time to be steady na lang. Make things right this time and besides, time to give my best. Parang feeling ko di lagi best pero ok lang. Now, ok seems not good, so I'll see what I can do in my remaining years. Sounds gloomy or it's like last days na ba for me?

Not really, it's just when you get old, maybe time not only to get serious or goal getter person.. 

Its just you need to live life to the full. Despite very very little, limited or even difficult position. 

Actually, di ko alam kung paano gagawin pero.. 

Sabi nga ni Nike.. "Just Do It."

Sa sobrang nagising ako sa homily kanina, eh di na ko nakapunta sa first session. hehe My bad. Natouch naman ako sa sinabi ng priest. Hmmmm Ang bilis naman ng isang taon lumipas.. Parang nung isang buwan lang. Ano ba, well, marami na ko nadownload pero dapat bagalan muna kasi wala pa yun backup ko. hehe 

For now, I'm just preparing, I hope, well new work. Also, some things to finish at ibang bagay na dapat simulan. Sayang, di ko mapapanood yun Game 5 bukas!!! Yun pa naman ang importante game sa series.. Kung sino manalo, kakabahan na yun kabila. Well my hearts says Cleveland pero in reality, dapat GSW na yan, habang may buenas pa sila!

Etong PBA naman, grabe, tuwing napapanood ako, nabwisit ako sa mga Refs, di ko alam kung talagang pwede silang referee ng PBA o barangay. Anyway, mabuti naman yun Alaska eh number 2 na! Partida natambakan pa ng 22 kahapon ng Barako, kaso siyempre ayaw magpatalo. hehe ROS eh mukhang serious na. Yun ibang team, lalo na yun BGK at PF, mukhang nabubuo na ang bora cup! hahaha 

Wala naman bago sa birthday ko, talagang sobra nabusog ako sa  niluto ni Mommy. Hanggang ngayon nga eh parang ayoko masyado kumain ng marami. hehe Honestly, I'll scrap the ones I wrote, I mean my plans because of sudden change. It will be more realistic and attainable. Short term plans lang. Yun mid term plans at long ones eh same pa din pero babawasan na. Bad trip, ilan taon na lang, eh 35 na, so kailangan magserious na sa career. Although di naman ako nawawalan ng pag asa kaso di ba in the job market, 35 years is kinda the age limit for most positions. Meaning I have 3 years to make some serious decision or what not. Learning as well, do this and that at siyempre moving forward to a better future. 

Maybe it's time to give it all for these next years and para masabi naman I gave my best, and God will do the rest. Great thing mukhang tapos na ang summer, and the rainy season comes.. No more sweaty afternoons at hot nights.. I just hope wala naman sobrang lakas na ulan in these coming months. Kakaayos lang ng bahay Lord ha. hahaha Please lang, just rains na lang, wag na yun malakas na hangin. 

Sa ngayon, eto lang masasabi ko, nothing much until the middle of the month. Actually dapat mabawasan na din manood ng jdrama kasi kakaadik. hahaha Dapat mga tipong sa off ko lang manonood. 

Indeed, time to get serious starting.. Hmmmmmm. Now? 

unplanned 62

Dapat kahapon pa ko nagsulat but due to some tiring and messed up circumstances, I crammed. Procrastinate. For short, tinamad. 

I can't laugh or even have fun until this moment. Sabihin na natin na talagang I just want to get away or something... But I can't. Ni di nga ko nakapagouting dahil well, may bantay at ayun pa, kailangan gawin. It's sad pero ok lang naman ko. Either way, ok lang.

For now, mabuti na lang maluwag ang kwarto ko pero napakainit. Nakakabwisit na init, summer time na nga. hahaha Medyo nakakatawa na ko. For the past weeks, pasaway ako, pero buenas pa din. Masaya pa din. Yun next post ko malalaman niyo kung bakit. Etong 2nd quarter na to na start, medyo shaky pero ginagawa ko na nang paraan. It's really hard to adjust when you have pressures from home to work then vice versa. Everyday.. Iniisip ko at ramdam ko na parang kulang ang 2 days off. 

I'm quite pessimist these days even I shouldn't be. Ewan ko ba. I don't know what will make me motivated or happy now. I thought mabuti to shun away some things or let's say bawasan, like internet or DOTA or even fret about Gerro or other things. Dagdag mo pa ang mainit na panahon. If there is a reset button, that will be great! Or parang refresh cache. But in real life wala naman yun. Prayers can do much, or faith. Hope can give light but hanggang dun lang. Love can only decrease yun lungkot or let's say it really keeps me going such.

I felt, I just want to stay in my room or in a place na for a time na walang kasama or kung mayroon man siguro just a good time. Dun papasok sana ang friends but well, they have their own lives now. I'm doing all my own. It's sad, gloomy and depressing. I'm surprised I can still put a smile on my face. Indeed.

Anyway, I don't look forward sa NBA until playoffs starts. I hope ROS will win sa finals. Ah, to finish this long week ahead of me from work and home. Ah, eto, continue writing. Writing. And more writing. 

Maybe I just need a second look at myself. Kung ano mayroon ako, at ano yun nangyayari sa kin, siguro, unti unti ko baguhin sarili ko. View kung baga. But I'm tired of it. I have a week to think about this, I've thinking a lot this time, siguro ang mabuti eh, isama na ang puso. 

Heart, what I feel, what I want to happen, or result sa ganitong situation. I keep using my stubborn head a lot but not my heart is. But siguro, I have some fears to have my heart works than my head. It produced well, great results but some worst results. 

Mind and Heart. Maybe, this week, I try to balance them both. A peaceful mind and a happy heart. 

Mahirap, pero kung eto lang ang way, para kahit papano, maka move on and do a lot, I can do things. I can move something and more important.. 

I can control myself like I want to. In the best way I can. For the benefit to those around me. For Him. Maybe I should just keep it slow nga. I don't know, but I just want to be effective in a lot of things, kung baga, may silbi especially at this age. Darn, kala ko age is just a number. Parang di ata sa ngayon. hahaha

Parang nung sinusulat ko yun, mukhang nakuha ko na at least isang sagot sa mga tanong bumabagabag sa akin. Napakahirap na tagalog.

Diyos miyo. =)

unplanned 61

Ano ba. hahahaha Lintek, di na ko nagbubukas ng FB o twitter ha. Ang sisihin niyo eh yun dramago.com at dota. hahaha Sorry naman. Well, nawala yun dramago.com, pero siyempre may kapalit! Ang dota eh nabawas bawasan kahit papano. Hirap talaga lalo may kasama ka sa kwarto. hehe Di naman ako makagalaw ng maayos.

Mukhang sa ngayon, naghahabol ako sa post, paano kasi nagkasakit ako pero mabuti nakayanan naman at ok naman ako. Saka adjust pa sa DST tapos na. Mas maaga ang pasok at dumami trabaho pero may petiks time pa din.

Pesteng CLE to, lumalakas, yun MEM ko nadali. Pero grabe yun ATL at GSW talaga, mukhang magtatapat sa finals. Don't worry, may playoffs pa naman para malaman yan. hahaha SMB, from philippine cup champs to bora cup champs. Back to back! bwahahaha

Ergh.. Tagal naman ng sweldo. Ah, malapit na pala holy week. Di ko alam kung ano pa plano ko pero dalawa ang sure na gagawin ko, Grand Easter feast at maglinis. Pangatlo pala, magpahinga. Yehey.. 

Ah, naisip ko din, since dual monitor na sa office, kala ko nung una pahirap, pero actually malaking tulong pala. Naisip ko, parang maganda kung dito ko din gawin sa bahay. hahaha Multitasking na talaga! Isang monitor nanood ng films/series tapos yun isang monitor pang trabaho. Multitasking as it's living myth. =)

Akalain mo, after 3 or 3 and a half days of hard work, almost more than a day of petiks. Well balanced. hehe Kakatawa ang mga trabahador ngayon, advance bakasyon for holy week. Nakita ko sa news, fully booked ang bus ngayon! Aba, ang aga naman ng VL! hehe Grabe.. Sana ako din. Itong Ginebra kala makakaulit sa ROS, makikita nila bukas, pilay este giba sila kay Belga. hehe I kinda love this cheap yet effective wireless from Rapoo ha. Tama nga reviews, at their tag line na pag wireless, mukhang go for them. Although yun mouse medyo hirap ako, I can blame naman yun surface ng computer table ko. Heller, dekada na at may bukol na ang leather nito. hehe Dapat ang surface pag wireless at optical eh gaya sa office table. Ano kaya tawag dun?

Darn, may storage is almost thin na. 50 GB left.. I'm anxious. hehe Wala muna anime series getter. Mauubos eh, o kahit blu ray films. Mukhang tyaga tyaga sa mp4 format. hahaha Grabe ang Meizu M1 note, sa sobrang big hit eh kahit saan wala na, even sa lazada, ubos. Nung nakita ko siya, aba mukhang sulit pero bad trip kasi ang 16gb storage. Pero naisip ko parang kaya ko pagtiyagaan. Hinihintay ko na lang gsmarena review lalo na sa sounds. 

Tinapang lourdesian broken lines ko, kala ko kaya ng isa, kaya yun, itutuloy. hahahaha Di kasya sa isang entry. Grabe, love and hate ko talaga, very very deep. Yup. You know why..

What to do these days off? Laba, linis, sulat, kaunting pahinga. Nood ng jdrama. Isip. Grocery with him. Sana dota kahit isa. hahaha Oh the feast.. Read. Eat. Love. Pray.

Sleep. Rest. Ah sorry pahinga na pala yun. 

Unplanned 60

Hay, mukhang marami  pa ko hahabulin. hehe Kaunti na lang.

For the past weeks, I'm in a daze. But great thing, medyo focused so kala ko ano na. Kaso sa work, medyo dehado, paano ba naman kasi tong ginagawang templo, ewan ko kung kailan matatapos, nakakapeste na! Di tuloy ako makatulog ng matino pag weekdays. Bwisit..

Well, tapos na yun mga weddings, and other events, so unting unti ako nakakaluwag. hahaha Sana in the past weeks, I'll get a real rest. Indeed a rest!

Nakakatawa nga, kasi may unexpected opportunity pala ako sa work, surprised me I should say. So medyo serious sulat ang gagawin ko dito. Medyo serious lang. I still can't believe that napili ako, at ASEAN region pa. The whole one. Yikes. hehehe

Confused at the past weeks din pero nah, tapos na yun. Importante, tuloy lang at yes, later eh magtatanong na ko. We'll see. Sana ok naman ang usap namin.

Quite worried na ang 2TB is at the midst of being full. Wow, so it means, in the few days, kailangan na dagdagan at higit sa lahat, I need another back up for that. In data management, better safe to have another back than sorry if you don't have one. 

Nakakagulat na nakatulog ako sa hapon, not doing it for the longest time. Important sana bukas at mga susunod na araw, eh tuloy tuloy na. Sana nga tapos na pesteng ginagawa mismo sa tapat ng kwarto ko. That will give me at least less of my problems. 

I was upset on how things were going, maybe I'm poor for the past weeks, but it did one thing. Slowed me down for a bit and realize na may mga bagay, dapat slowly but surely. Take it slow and importante, less troubles and less risk. Indeed. 

For now, siguro focus ko eh to get more sleep sa weekdays.. Fix my things as well, and most of all, start to some things. At yes, stay at home more lalo na tight budget at nandito pa si Gerro. Good grief. hahaha

Fix my sked na din. Definitely! I also realize na I'm too old for being..

A nightcrawler.

Flare 3

I eat my words, sa huli, bibili din pala ako ng Cherry Mobile. Bwahaha Hmmm this they should be doing for a long time, a phone na masasabi na sulit! 4000 lang eh ewan ko pa pagdi ka pa nacontento.

In 4000, 1.3 ghz quad core mediatek, 1GB ram tapos 8GB na internal storage pero expandable. 5 inch na may gorilla glass kasi iba yun finish ng harap, I don’t know. Hehe 3mpeg na front camera pero 8mpeg sa likod at kitkat pa na OS! Why this? Siyempre tinanong ko si Kuya kung itong model na to stable, sabi niya oo kasi wala pa daw nagpapaayos sa kanya kahit marami na siya nabenta ganito. Aba totoo nga! Hahaha

At least, tanggal yun worry ko pumila sa mahabang pila ng service center sa SM. Pero mabuti may service center na din dito malapit sa min. haha Well, siyempre may drawbacks ang phone na to, as expected sa 4K. Una eh yun sounds, pag todo ang volume, tunog lata na. hahaha Namiss ko tuloy yun THL ko kahit maliit ng kaunti, eh ayos naman ang sounds. Isa pa, sobrang sensitive, I mean, di ko alam kung napipindot yun phone pag nasa bulsa ko siya. Kahit si Ate nagigising na kaya kailangan ingat sa gamit nito, be sure nakalock talaga ang phone. UI! Kahit Kitkat eh wala naman ako paki pero crappy ang interface nito. Ok pa yun THL ko kahit jelly bean and panalo ang UI niya. Be sure download agad ng launcher!

The best at sulit dito sa phone eh yun 5inch screen na IPS ata. Whatever, basta pagnanood ako dito ng youtube o kahit sa dramago.com, ganda talaga. Great! Sulit ang angles and viewing experience, better. Not best pero great sa sulit niya. Although naghang pero depende kasi sa file na pinapanood mo, kaya niya yun malaki pero naghang pa rewind or forward. Masarap din dito magbasa o masulat sa word kasi sa screen. Mas madali sa kin magtype ng message kasi sa laki. Dapat talaga sa kin 5 inches.haha Second, suprisingly durability, virtually matibay siya lalo ilan beses ko na din nabagsak at naghang pero most of the time, stable at steady ang takbo. Batt life niya medyo matagal ha, more than a day pag todo mo ginamit, 2 days pag standby lang. Yun OS ok naman lalo na pag may launcher ka download. As usual, android lover so no problem with this one. Ayos din siya, despite 5 inches, mas manipis siya kaysa dun sa THL ko dati despite 4.5 inches siya. Hehe Lastly, what’s more? 4K lang, ewan ko pa pag nareklamo ka pa. hahaha Pagnawala, edi wala lang. hahaha Basta ako may back up na, natuto na ko. Kaya kampante na ko. Mawala ito or wag naman sana manakaw, eh ok lang.

May better model pa to flare S3, maganda yun front camera na 5mpeg with flash pero hirap maghanap. Haha Ok na ko dito sa flare 3. Sa sobrang ok, tuwang tuwa si Gerro! Ni di nga ko ginugulo ngayon. Naddict na. haha

With this sulit model, will I buy more Cherry lalo na sa high end nila in the future?

Siyempre, hindi!

Unplanned 58

Whew, honestly, home stretch na ko ng target blog ko for the month and missed months din. Kakapagod maghabol. Hahaha I almost proofreading lahat ng post ko. Himala proofread? A time for change nga.

Thank you Jesus for making this December easier for me. Hehe Despite pressure at maraming events na puntahan, nagawa ko lahat, pero yun nga lang, may pagka abono pa din. Dapat iwas sakit na. hahaha I still have some remaining wishes, I hope they come true. Simple lang naman.

2 days going before 2014 ends, wow, what a year for me. Ah, bad trip naman yun game 6 ng Alaska vs. ROS, Sunday pa! Bwiset! Hahaha Sana sa finals na lang sila nagharap kaso yun talaga, hindi eh. Hehe NBA well, a lot of surprises sa East, sa West, lagi na lang playoffs ang every game. Ganun kalakas ang West. Hahaha

Sa work, well, thanks sa ACN, they want me to stay. Hahaha A bit of luck and prayer perhaps, mukhang tatagal pa ko dito ha. Siyempre, makabawi naman sa dami ng mga absent at kaltas sa kin. Grabe, di pwede di makabawi! Today’s climate is just cool. Eto yun gusto ko kaysa sa sobrang lamig. Sana ganito araw araw. Hahaha Parang UK style kung baga.

Medyo nakakabalik na din ako sa social media, and plan ko na din idrop ang OKC. Basta may time kung kailan gamit na gamit ko yun OKC, ala naman nangyari. Tama na yun mga nameet ko dun. =) Let’s go for more traditional route. hehe

Hay, wala na halos yun ibang big pressures. Well sa work, ibang pressure pero it all starts pag pumasok na ko araw araw, I feel great and unless tamarin ko which bihira naman mangyari, I still end up going to work.

Suprisingly, aba ang reformat na naman ako! Naubos weekend ko dahil dun, pero great thing pala ang system image. No need to reinstall lahat and yun files intact na intact pa! Whew, walang kwenta yun restore point or system restore. System image talaga. Saka iwas updates, yun ang napasira sa kin. Hehe

I can’t wait January starts kasi halos back to normal lahat, with some pressure siyempre pero manageable naman yun. Better than these past months. I still nostalgic about the past 2 weddings, grabe ano kaya ginagawa ng mga mag-asawa na yun. =)

Yun aking back up drive eh paubos na, at malamang we’ll go sa akin extra 1TB, so it means, I need to prepare for another back up drive. Naisip ko well, pagtagal, 1TB lagi ang dagdag ko, budget eh. Hehe Kung mura lang talaga ang NAS or desktop external HDD, yun na lang lagi ang dagdag ko.

What else, for now, mukhang hanggang dito lang muna. Everything left eh nasa huli.

Save the best for last!

unplanned 57

While looking kay CJ Sereno, naisip ko na may effort siya to reach out the public, at least di tayo nanghuhula kung ano iniisp ng mga supreme court. Unlike those past CJ judges na nangugulat. hahaha 

Ok, hmmm there were shocking turns pero saka ko na isiwalat. But after long delays, tuloy na. hehe Not in career pa. I'm enjoying it. Iba talaga pag malapit at ok ang package. hehe

Wow, etong mga araw na to, kung hindi bagyo, eh lakas naman ng ulan. Or lagi inuulan.. Kahit masarap ang tulog eh at malamig, dami naman lamok. Summer na sana. hahaha Tagal na din ako di nagdota ha, sa dami na ginagawa at adjustment kasi going to GY shift. Geez. Himala naman wala nagyaya. hahaha Si Paul Lee feeling Lebron ha, pagnatuloy na lumipat siya, yun ang ikakabagsak ng career niya. Or kung buenas, ibaba yun value niya. Bigla bigla lilipat, bakit kaya? 

I'm skeptical sa Sin City 2, pero sige kahit nakita ko mga negative reviews, pagbigyan ko naman. Feeling ko, a bit better sa 300 part 2. hahaha 

Well, what else.. Bad trip pala ang external hdd ha. Not the portable one, yun big external, kahit mabilis eh pagmalas malas, di na gagana! Erghh.... Natest agad ang back up ko. hahahaha

World cup, modest goal for me sa Gilas, one win. Dapat makaisa man lang sila! Edi pag dalawa, at round of 16, ayos. hehe Puso na to!!! Mahina yun Puerto Rico pero chance lang, pero grabe pala ang Greece at Argentina minus Ginobili at Delfino, malakas pa din! Wag tayo pumayag mapakarne! hehe

Pwede ba ko magregister sa Boob Aid!!! Bwahahaha kaso kahit sabihin nila all star JAV cast, parang hindi naman, sa dalawang nainterview nila, di ko kilala. Wag na. hehe Ni di nga nila ilabas yun listahan. Sino sino kaya yun? 

Ice bucket challenge has became a trending thing to do these days. It's weird but every famous person is doing it. Gusto ko yun ginawa ni Patrick Stewart. hehe Others I don't know, parang trip lang ata not as an advocacy. I won't join neither. Better yet, di kaya gawin yun sa taong tulog tapos buhusan mo bigla. Hahaha O kaya imbes na ice bucket, kumukulong tubig. Better yet, do the same, but kina Napoles, Bong, Jinggoy or even criminals who kinda make alibi na kahit huli na, tanggi pa din. Buhusan kaya di lang isa, kung hindi maraming buckets, hanggang sa umamin sila. Torture na, nakapagdonate pa sila. 

Ang hirap ng nasa baba ng computer ko. Erghh, sana maayos na yun mga sira dito para mabalik na talaga sa dating set up. Kinda miss it but I need, definitely.. Endure.. Hay.

What else? Hmmmmm wala naman bago or something really urgent.

Maybe, a long rest. Iba pala pag tuloy tuloy ang work and transition. Walang pahinga between jobs, a new one yet very tiresome. 

Fulfilling. =)

unplanned 54

Sa wakas, nakakasulat na ko ulit. hehe 

Ngayon, medyo naghahabol na ko sa accounting subject. Mahirap pala ang mag self study. hahaha Sabagay di naman madali yun accounting classes ko wayback college.

I need to go back of course sa excercises sa SAP para masanay na. Di muna ko mag certify kasi mahirap pala, kailangan mag OJT sa course ng isang project. Pro bono. hahaha Pero that might change.
Summer is coming pero umuulan, I don't know why.

NBA season is coming to close, pa playoffs na.. Makakaabante kaya ang teams ko? 

Ah, at last, Iron Maiden is complete. Looking tough! Kahit isang linggo naka on, walang problema. hahaha
Bad trip ang PBA, Alaska malaska, tapos yun ROS in a loss, parang di pa nakakamove on sa talo. Bwiset!!! Ok lang, basta malas din ang Ginebra. hahahaha

All I can say, for the next weeks, mukhang I'll be more busy and decisive. I hope it works.. =)
Hmmmm yun excercise di ko matuloy pa, tuwing gagawin ko, lagi may sisingit na gagawin or something.. Bad trip! 

Can't wait for Sin City 2! Pero after watching 300 Rise of an Empire, mukhang babaan lang ang  expectations. Pero feeling ko mukhang maganda pa din.. Kaya siguro si Robert Rodriguez eh medyo palpak in the past flicks, eh baka dito sa makabawi with Frank Miller. 

Matagal na din ako di pa nagkakapost sa FB, well, di talaga ako ganun. Bihira, just staring those messages, pictures, and news, chismax. hehe Envious, or somewhat happen to see most of them na dati eh medyo di pinalad but as time goes by, everybody is moved on and became successful.

I'll be one sometime. 

ReView

A sudden change again. Hay, never ends. hehe

Well, this month was very hectic. At kung kailan pa huli, aba madami pang humabol. Una na diyan ang work, grabe habang patagal na patagal, nahaggard ha. Mabuti 3pm uwi ko, at madaling naaalis ang stress. hahahaha Kung office time talaga to, naku render na! hehe Joke pero kaya pa naman, pwede pa iraos. Yun nga lang, OT naman ang kailangan. Kung kailan naman magpahinga mukhang postpone pa. At don't forget, maganda ang team. As in, maganda ang team! hahaha

Postpone din ang excercise, ayun na kaso may gatecrasher. Geez..

But what I'm surprised for eh etong si Gerro, well despite his tantrums, but more na siyang contrable as long you remember what he's saying, agree or acknowledge what he is saying at higit sa lahat naku, don't touch him. Hay kagabi lang, grabe talaga, mabuti na lang nahismasan.

Another adjustment awaits for the final 2 months of this year. Another things will change. Well, I hope more good things will come than bad things or if not, please help me to survive. =)

Actually, ok naman sana itong month na to pero talagang may biglaan nangyari tapos stress pa sa work, at marami pang iba. Pero marami naman ako nagawa at kahit papano naayos. 

Kala ko aabot ako sa aking halloween film fest pero mukhang hindi. Ganun ako kabusy!!! hehe Bad trip. Tapos itong chrome eh alat na, mukhang maganda yun nadagdag pero ang hirap. Erghh.... 

Dagdag mo pa ang pagkatalo ng UST, wala na.. DLSU na champs siguro mga 2 pa. hehe Sayang naman ang Petron, ayun na eh, natalo pa!!! Waaahhhh.. Wrong predictions.. Well, nobody has a perfect prediction perhaps. Siguro layo muna sa forecast sa kahit anong sport until January. Kahit sa boxing, ayoko magcomment kung mananalo pa si pacman o talo na naman ulit. hehe

Im gearing up pagdating ng November, it might be an eventful one, more busy than the last 10 months. 

Pero it's a good routine naman, unlike before... 

Getting ready the inventory for the Christmas sale tapos ngarag ka sa kakaisip kung ano mabebenta at paano mabebenta. hehe 

Mabuti na lang, these days.. Iniisip ko na lang is..

When can I start that first step to my dreams?

Ring! Ring!

(BGC)


Now, let's go to the story. hehe 

BGC stands for Bonifacio Global City, which now well a promising district. Bustling will be a fitting word due to massive transfer of business ventures put up here. A lot of companies invested in this place maybe it's cheaper than other business districts such as Makati, or Ortigas. With great scenes and sounds you can feel there because of the wide landscapes and well built city within the city style, does it fit with a BPO employee like me? 

Yes, there are a lot of BPO companies situated here, a new place that they can invest because of the location and maybe the talent pool available here.  As everybody knows, BGC sounds a classy place, and it is. 

I went to this place, not very often, because of some occassions but for work.. After what I experienced, nah... I won't work here. Unless if I have a car and there is no traffic in C5 exchange roads, the fastest way going there from my house. I'll never do what the usual commuters do, from my home. Ride a jeep, queue for the ever slowing MRT, then ride a bus which the only way going inside this enormous business district. 

2 hours you need before you can reach in your working place, if you go below than that, definitely, you'll be tardy.

Here are some known call center/BPO companies situated here.

INFOSYS - Situated at the first and only mall in BGC for now, Market! Market!. Caters usually what I know, US companies, IT ones, then I don't know what is their big account. What I heard they have a good pay, but well.. You need to be near Market! Market!. What I heard as well, they have tech accounts because of the IT accounts they have. In the newspapers says, they have a UK account. I don't know how their recruitment goes. 

TELUS - one of the big call centers, they have many centers here in NCR. They are a canadian telco which has it's own call center/BPO business. There were called Ambergris before. Here at BGC, the account that what I heard is Zynga or that FB gaming account, a back office work. Low pay especially if you're residing outside BGC. I heard that the pay is around 17k with everything on it, like allowance or so, excluding tax. They have great benefits, you get free postpaid plan with phone from Globe which I don't if they still do it, and medicare as well. However, well, that's their account there perhaps with other voice accounts, and recruitment as they advertise, 2 hours only and you'll get a job offer. 

Deustche Bank - Yes, you got it right, one of the leading European and German bank is situated there. A big building they have and it's purely BPO. Meaning I'm sure they don't have voice accounts but they do have like the usual office work, think of working in an international bank. They have weird recruiting process, I tried to send a resume online, nothing happened, walking in is a hassle. However, if you're a graduate of a good business course from a reputable university which is not like me, you can pass here for sure. I've known some of my batchmates worked there, and what I've known, they all left. I don't know why, but well maybe they have a problem. hehe Ah yeah, I heard they pay well, and one surprising benefit, if you're shift ends at night, don't worry for a cab, you'll be pick by a driver using the company car going home. If you took a cab, well, they'll reimburse it. Damn. hehe

But yeah, definitely for professionals, especially with accounting background perhaps. I heard they have freeze hiring for now. hehe

C3 - A new call center situated at BGC, actually this one with Deustche Bank are near with each other. What I heard from one of my former team mates, they have good environment and workplace. She was a QA there, then recruitment was kinda smooth, she did not have QA experience before until she went there, done QA screening then yeah, she got the job. Pay, good for the basic but less for allowance. Location indeed not easy to work with. 2 hours should be your travelling time for persons residing outside BGC. She came from Moonwalk, Parañaque left house 2 hours ago, still became late. Geez. 

I forgot, account there is airline, and telco from UK. I forgot what she said about that account. hehe Sorry. 

Bank of America - One of the biggest banks in the US is here. How will I forget this new inhouse call center situated in BGC, just started a year ago. This one and C3 are in the same building in BGC. Why will I won't forget this BPO? Their accounts are mostly mortgage, personal banking and some chat services as well. I heard, they pay very well around 25K, and yeah inhouse account. However, their recruitment is very painstaking. I mean, they have a hard assessment test from numerical, language and yes, typing skills. Then you'll go for a grueling interview. Damn, when they asked questions I thought they will score you in comprehension or logic or structure of thoughts.. But hell no, they grade you on how you pronounce the words and so, they want perfect english!!! I did not make it to their voice account,they offer me a chat account. Well, I was interviewed by this great looking manager, but she's a terror. Asking me a lot of questions  even my HS days and college days, and I knew at the middle, I hate this experience and I just want to finish it. Although I agreed to be interviewed for the final one but I disregard their calls and forget it. I won't work there! One of my worst experiences and I felt, this company isn't good.. 

Proof? Well, one of my job hunting days, I saw one applicant coming from that chat dept of BOA applying! One of my friends, left her QA or training position, I forgot, even living from a far, worked here as a CSR, 2 months later... She left due to stress. 

Wanna try a spin here? Nah. 

JP Morgan Chase - Another big bank from the US is here, what I know the biggest bank in the US in terms of assets. Anyhow, the most famous call center in the site. I read as well before, they were awarded one of the best employers here.. Hmmmmm Anyway, I don't know how their recruitment goes now but what I experienced before was worse. Although with that experience in Philam Life, they have a good looking center. But anyhow, I was interviewed and as it went along, they started asking what did I do in my VL's, SL's and why I used it so much which it will effect my team's performance? What the hell? Is it a right to get a rest and you informed your TL's before taking a leave? Isn't that a violation? 

I was pissed off and I finished the interview, never going back there. 

Then of course, a lot of sad stories bound there.. Maybe if you asked 10 ex JP Morgan employees, 9 of them will say they were not happy working there. Geez.. Why many people going there? 

If you are offered 25k-40k, US account and shift, and what I know is they increase at least 15% of your basic salary to join them plus other bonuses for reaching targets in your metrics, who will not resist that offer? The one I've known said to me, he rushed for a pen to sign the contract! hehe

Many joined, many going away..

The recruitment process I think is just a series of interviews and tests, according to my previous team mates.. 

Many are still there because of the large pay, but well.. Every peso you earned, is really you will need to work hard for it.

Dual screen monitors used for mortgage LOB's because of some accounts came from banks that JP Morgan acquired through financial crisis. Not only irate customer you will experience, but toxic customers because of course, you will be dealing customers who will be losing their houses. Auto loans, credit card accounts, even premium accounts which deals to their rich clients who doesn't know how will invest their money. 

Add to an environment which is not really worker friendly.. Not the facilities, I heard their facilites are great, but the working relationship, nah, politics and pride indeed.. I heard one story from my previous co trainee that because he was just not comfortable with the team, like going or eating together but he's doing his best to contribute.. He was left behind in a team meeting for 3 hours.. His team mates are idle, him.. Taking calls, cursed and crushed by toxic customers. 

Oh another one.. hehe While applying for abroad long time ago, I was able to talk with one of the applicants, he is working here with JP then decided to apply for abroad or just want to get out with JP because of the toxic work environment. He just can't take it anymore due to stress and very strict guidelines there.

Another proof, besides with a lot of I've known former team mates and friends came from them, how about, the ones who has a drinking session at lunch near mini stop at Insular Life building, saw their ID's, of course they are coming there.. Everyday. Isn't that scary? That's how stressed working here.

So, if you can really swallow your human life in exchange for great money but great toxic work life.. Are you in?


There are a lot of centers stationed here, which I don't know exactly how many or who else but others I know Sutherland, Harte Hanks if I got it right.. And other corporations as well..

Great place for living indeed because you have access to serendra, malls, Mercato central,  the great St. Luke's Global City hospital and other establishments. If you're a fitness buff and you want to run in the morning, then jog the whole BGC everyday. hehe Then yeah spacious place, not that crowded building type,then are you a party goer? Some of the best clubs and dining experience are here as well..

However, as much great things it can offer, for me or even you living far away, I can't really suggest working here due to it's distance and traffic along. If you're living near here, I mean if you can live just beside BGC, this is perfect for you. 

But well, if you're job hunting and you live so much far here.. Just forget the place. 

Oh I hope they allow Jeeps or mini cabs like in MOA to really go around the place instead of that only bus route which is so slow and you'll be late indeed.

Rushing for 5 minutes before logging in  like we always do in other places like in Makati.. Won't save you. =)
