I’m Still Alive

Aloha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hehehe, apologies for the few but loyal readers of my blog. I haven’t been updating my blog because I’ve been *busy* with life - where I define my life as Work, Exercise and Recreation.

Work

  • Wrapping up my project with GMA7 (Yes, i’m finishing up their Table Of Contents)
  • Negotiating for some school’s Chemistry Inventory System pricing (I hope our proposed budget pushes through)
  • Negotiating for another school’s digital yearbook (System Design is complete, awaiting go-signal for implementation)
  • Working on three web portals (one’s a done deal, another’s a scope creep and the last one’s being negotiated)
  • Gathering requirements for the formal incorporation of my quasi-company (unemployed? do as i do! employ yourself!!!)

Exercise

  • I’ve been faithful to Moro, attending an average of 5 days a week
  • I still weigh the same, but I feel lighter and better. been cursing fewer morons on the road who don’t know how to drive
  • My daily goal is to burn 1200 calories per session while I eat 800-1000 calories worth of food everyday

Recreation

  • Been hooked up to lots of anime marathons lately ~ basilisk, samurai 7, samurai deeper kyo, dragon ball…
  • Listening to songs and reliving the memories behind them. Some of them are old … some of them new.
  • Resurrected Grunt (1Ghz AMD Athlon, 640Mb Ram) for file-serving and retro-gaming purposes. Final Fantasy 7! Woot!

Outlook

Outlook is good in life. However, I’m getting bored with having only a few projects. I almost considered going for a full-time job. As much as I wanted one, God has His own plans for me. On the day of my interview at UC and knivre fpubbyf [I’m sorry, Caesar likes writing company names that way], I :

  • was held up by an MMDA officer for swerving along Edsa
  • had to argue with the guards to let me park within the campus of my first interview place ~ there was no parking space outside the campus
  • had to fill up forms that I *so* love to do
  • had to answer a personality test. questions were conducted in a boolean manner and were repeated and rephrased over and over to check the consistency of your answers and personality. I also *love* these tests.
  • ran out of parking space at galleria. a level of the basement parking was converted into a function hall for the day
  • i couldn’t find the building where i had to take an interview for UC, i got redirected twice ~ walked 2kms in full battle gear of long sleeves, black pants and leather shoes
  • the original interviewer at UC didn’t arrive
  • waited for an hour and a half to find out. though UC was kind enough to have a replacement interviewer
  • replacement interviewer was hot, oh so distractingly hot. did i say she was hot? well, she was hot
  • i was supposed to end my day at the gym when i forgot to stuff a shirt in my trusty gym. Since I couldn’t possibly work out topless, I skipped gym for that day

Moral of the story?

There is no such thing as security.

I’d like to explain and connect the dots between all the bullet points I listed, but I trust in my reader’s ability to reflect and think critically. Share your thoughts. I’d appreciate them. :D

life is, indeed, is an incoherent random strings that is strung together to create a logic. he, he, ang labo.

anyway, di ko pa napapanood ung “the break up”. heard from another atenean that it is the worst movie she has seen because it had reminded her of her love life. pwe, he, he… anyway, lalo me na curious, ma-panood na nga pag may time ;p

anyway, just saw “miami vice” and I find it as one of the coolest movies I’ve ever watched. want to hear your opinion if you have had watch it.
