December 30, 2008 sa Manila Cathderal, magsisimula ang bagong kabanata sa aking buhay ay magsisimula. Ito rin ang araw na pinagdiriwang naming ni mark ang ika-tatlong anibersaryo. Walang pormal na proposal na nangyari dahil noong nagsimula pa lang kami hindi ako tinong ni mark kung pwede akong maging kasintahan datapwat ang kanyang sinabi ay gusto kitang pakasalan at ayoko ng humanap ng iba. At doon nagsimula ang aming “three year plan”.
Sa unang taon ng aming relasyon, ang aming adhikain ay magkaroon ng sariling sasakyan. Kaya noong binenbenta ng aking kapatid ang kotse nila mula sa kumpanya kinuha na naming kaagad. Alam kasi namin na maayos pa ito at mura lang. Ang kotse ito ang nagsilbing bahay namin dahil madalas lahat ng gamit namin iniiwan na lang namin dito. Ngunit ito rin ang nagbigay sa amin ng sakit ng ulo. Nanakaw sya noong minsan buti na lang naibalik sa amin ng pulis. Tapos noong minsan sinusundo nya ko, binangga sya ng isang pajero. Buti na lang may insurance.
Sa ikalawang taon, sabi namin dapat makapagsimula na kami sa paghulog para sa aming bahay or sa lupa man lang. Ngunit hanggang ngayon wala pa din kaming nakukuha. Ang pera namin para dito ay nailaan namin para sa pagtulong sa pagtayo ng isang kompanya ng aming mga kaibigan.
At ngayon sa aming ikatlong taon, ang pera namin ay nakalaan para sa kasal. Mahigit isang taon na namin sinimulan and preparasyon para dito. Madami kasing may gusto sa Manila Cathderal (MC), so Hulyo 2007 pa lamang halos puno na ang petsa na nais namin kaya biglang napabilis ang pagsisimula naming sa preparasyon. Una kong sinabihan ang aking mga kapatid sa Canada dahil kailanggan din nilang mag-ipon sa kanilang pag-uwi. Mabigat din ang gastusin na iyon sapagkat buong pamilya silang uuwi. Ilang buwan pa ang nakalipas bago ko sinabi sa aking mga magulang at sa magulang ni mark. Tuloy tuloy din ang paghahanap namin ng mga supplier pagkatapos namin mapa-reserve ang MC. Nariyan din ang frustration ko sa paggaganapan ng salu-salo. Gusto ko talaga sa Father Blanco’s Garden sa loob din ng Intramuros kaya lang gagamitin na ang lugar na ito ng mga Agustinian Priest at patatayuan ng seminaryo. Noong nalaman ko yun ang unang sumagi sa isip ko ay ang Coconut Palace dahil naikot na namin ang buong Intramuros wala akong ibang nagustuhan. Gusto ko kasi garden reception. Pagdating namin sa Coconut Palace may naka-reserve na sa araw namin. Sobra akong nagulat dahil ganoon pala kaaga magsimula sa preparasyon ang ibang ikakasal kala ko napaka-aga ko pa. Kaya kinalaunan naguwi kami sa Orchidarium and Butterfly Pavilion. Hindi sya papular tulad ng unang mga napili ko pero maganda rin sya dahil puno din naman ng halaman. Pagkatapos nito, naghanap na kami ng caterer at sa suhestyon ng aking kaibigan kinuha namin ang Swan Catering Services. Pagkatapos nito tumigil na kami. Lumipas ang ilang buwan nakapag-book pa kami ng ilang supplier tulad ng Nextgen para sa photo-video, RejectKrew para sa lights and sounds, Pose N’ Print para sa photobooth, at G Hotel. Madami pa din ang kulang. Madami pa din ang hinahanap na supplier at nauubusan na ako ng option dahil peak season ang aming kasal. Sana mahanap na namin ang mga supplier na kailanggan namin.

its been a while since i last blog, obviusly my last entry was march 07 and 2008 is almost over. many things have changed..like my work. started with another company last april 07 then before i experience my first anniversary a big announcement came in that we are acquiring another company. and for me that will be another adjustment because i have somehow enjoyed the fact that im a one man team. and now i have to adjust to a new set of teammates that has their own routine. this september we transfer to our new home in equitable bank tower from the enterprise center. imagine that. ok lang sana coz maganda naman yung layout ng office and problem lang namin maraming sinyoritang namamasyal. and this one time, they even ate my food in my pedestal. tama ba yun?! inahan pa ko. Sa unang taon ng aming relasyon, ang aming adhikain ay magkaroon ng sariling sasakyan. Kaya noong binenbenta ng aking kapatid ang kotse nila mula sa kumpanya kinuha na naming kaagad. Alam kasi namin na maayos pa ito at mura lang. Ang kotse ito ang nagsilbing bahay namin dahil madalas lahat ng gamit namin iniiwan na lang namin dito. Ngunit ito rin ang nagbigay sa amin ng sakit ng ulo. Nanakaw sya noong minsan buti na lang naibalik sa amin ng pulis. Tapos noong minsan sinusundo nya ko, binangga sya ng isang pajero.

anyway, a stopped blogging din for a while because im still not ready to tell everybody that i've really on the way of starting a new chapter in my life. of course only my family and close friends know. daming haka-haka pero sabi ko chismis lang yun. and now 3 months to go, i dont know if i have to feel excited or afraid. but now im happy for the decision i made. i finally found my better half. |

andito nanaman ako sa stage na lilipat ng work... technically this will be my 4th job...first was thomson...it was a very good training ground...its working and not feeling it... parang nasa college pa din. its a very good opportunity for me then... just graduated from college and the pay was good. siguro i out grown the system kaya ako naghanap ng bago. nagkaproblema sa boss. so i decided to leave. besides i was offered to be a manager... why not.
as i jump to comquest, i am very excited with my new role sabi nga sa spiderman with great powers comes great responsibilities. i was a manager there not knowing that the management has a problem already. and this became the lowest point in my life. in the process i loose 3 close friends. i didnt mean to displace them but the burden is still on me. my mistake...i didnt explain the stituation. i am very sorry but the damage has been done. and the company closed.
after months of depression, i tried to get back on my feet again. seaching for a job, any type of job and praying...hindi ako madasalin kaya maraming nagulat... ive been to several churches offering and engaging myself in their novena. Then i believe that God gave me EXCORE a family i trully enjoyed having.
the organization is not perfect..that i know. but here i gained friends that will last beyond work. sabi nga nila dito malapit ka sa langit (owners of the company) san ka makakakita ng ganun. im even very funned of the coo, sabi nga nila tigre yun.. pero i know where she is coming from. i admire her strength and working attitude. yun nga lang minsan sumosobra. force of habit siguro. ill give her that. as i filed my resignation, grabe sobrang nakakalungkot. i didnt even imagine na aalis pala ako. the opportunity that openned i cant really let go.
for now im in the exit mode. ill be joining jones lang lasalle on april 16. a manager once more. pero this time i think ill be better, ive learned a lot from all the experiences. ive become wiser. yun nga lang ang treatment ko pa din sa kanila bata.. because of the age. well lets wait and see.... |

grabe tagal ko na din palang hindi naglalagay ng post... 2006 na! fearless forecast this is going to one hell of ride. i jumped again once more and i hope i will have a better fall from here.my family is experiencing hard times right now... but i know we could pull it through. my eldest sister is doing better from her depression. My second sister just had an operation at her ovary and now the doctors are saying that she has a pevic tb. My third sister's husband recently was told that he is being offered an early retirement from the company he had worked for 16 years. Just right out of college but i believe he could fix this somehow. and my last sister oh well i think she's doing pretty well with everything. Of course my parents is always there to support all of us in whatever we decide on. Yun nga lang they can't help it... paminsan-minsan nakikielam pa din. its for us na lang to decide whether we would follow them.
i am happy with my work right now. im enjoying the luxury of having a "flexible" schedule. it is true that if you're enjoying your work it wont be work at all. and that is what i feel. i got new friends around. im dealing with the group pretty well... actually, i think i doing it too well. hopefully wala lang issue lumabas.
my studies are still on hold. still looking for the strength to take the compre once more. still hoping to finish it soon. an accomplishment that i would be truly proud of because its all me. i work my butt out to pay the tuition and finish it without failing any subject.
my lovelife is quite colorful right now. im with someone that i didn't thought that we would be together even if everybody is telling me that they have seen it coming. there are still critics of course, there is no perfect relationship. but i guess our pagiging sira ulo helps us to just enjoy our being together. i have learned too much from him. isa ring mentos. hard on the outside soft in the inside. :) i dont know if its too early to tell because we've been together for just three weeks. the weird thing about is that we are twogether for nine months now and still counting. i hope this last.
this is how i started my 2006... hoping for the better... |

mag-3 buwan na din pala ako. hindi ko man lang namamalayan. siguro ganun talaga kapag nag-enjoy. so far ok naman ako sa ginagawa ko madami pero kaya naman. makulit ang mga tao dito lalo na yung boss ko. sabi nga sa akin ng isang kaibigan, "hindi ka ba nagsasawa sa kanya parang day in day out kausap mo sya kahit di kau magkasama?" nasa fieldwork kasi kami nung mga panahong nagtanong sya nito kaya ang sagot ko mas nakakatakot kapag hindi nagtext yan. magulo syang kausap parang babae, sobrang maarte sa damit, sa gamit pati sa trabaho. sa hilig nya sa damit lagi kaming umaalis para mag-window shopping, oh di ba, hindi ko talaga gawain ito. pagpumunta ako ng mall dapat may bibilhin lang ako pero hindi talaga ako naglilibot. grabe sya, megamall at galleria nalakad na namin lahat ng floor at lahat ng sulok. kakaiba. ang lakas pa mamintas. kaya madami din nagtatanong sa akin kung bading ba sya...yung mga nakwentohan ko lang. pero pagnakilala mo sya hindi talaga. metro pa siguro malamang dun ko sya mahahanay.pagdating sa trabaho lagi kaming nag-aaway wala kasing gustong magpatalo. minsan nga sabi nya sa akin nakakalimutan na nya kung sino sa amin ang boss. ang lakas namin maghiritan at maglaglagan kaya yung ibang tao nagugulat lalo na yung mga ka-opisina kasi nga parang hindi ko sya boss. sabi nga nya hindi nya daw ako mahiritan kasi babalikan ko talaga sya, actually, ganun din naman ako. alam ko din kasi kung pano manlait kaya ibang tao na lang ang nilalait namin kasi ang hirap kapag kaming dalawa.
obvious naman siguro na natutuwa ako sa kanya. napaka-complex nya kasi sa labas pero once you get a hang of it ok sya. madalas kinakatakutan sya dito ewan ko nga ba kung bakit ni minsan di ko naramdaman yun. ngiti lang ang katapat nyan. tantyahan na lang. |

dahil naghahanap ako ng work ngayon at laging meroong required question sa jobstreet kindda naisip ko i-post ko na lang sya...
----------------------------------------
GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT: My biggest achievement as of the moment is that I have finished all the units required to complete my masters’ degree on time. I managed to accomplish it by myself since I do not ask financial assistance to anyone. Furthermore, I still managed to excel in my job while I was still in school. It is not really the degree that I am proud about but the path I took to finish it and the self confidence and the people I have earned because of it
-------------------------
INTOLERABLE: In my last employment I was one of the senior employee, in case my boss is on leave I am the one who has the authority to handle the whole team. I have managed the team effectively enough when my boss was on her maternity leave. Since our work is focus on analysis, accuracy and consistency of data, error is intolerable. Any confusion should be consulted to the most senior of the group.
My leadership qualities enable me to handle the team, promote camaraderie within the group and to the other departments, and encourage them to maximize their production.
--------------------------------------
How do you know when you have done a good job?
I would know if I have done a good job if I manage to complete it on time and execute it with the proper requirements. I have placed my full dedication in every task given to me.
In my previous job it is critical to provide our consumer the accurate information to help them analyze the movement of their portfolio properly. In my four year tenure, I manage to enhance the quality of our product and improve data acquisition, thus, increasing our market coverage. To be precise, I have pioneered the coverage of New Zealand stock market declarable stakes. Moreover, I do not receive complaints from our clients regarding the accuracy and timeliness of data.
-----------------------------------
WHAT IS SUCCESS? Success for me means that I am excelling in what I am doing and enjoying it at the same time. I would like to execute the right combination of skills and training from the corporate world and the knowledge I earned from both my undergraduate and my graduate studies of Economics.
