21st

On the 21st.

Yap, on the 21st of this month the account I'm currently positioned with here in Sitel (Philippines) will be totally pulled out. DELL-XPS will again be just a part of my resume 8 days from now; it will be listed along with my previous campaigns Bellsouth and Sony. What's going to be next?

Another account?

Another company?

Nope. School is going to be next. College to be specific.

Well, I can say that college would be another campaign for me though. Good luck.

It's a Choice

I am going to begin the countdown of days for my stay here in the company I work with. I will be going home to continue the education I left last 2005. This is a matter of choice, a rather one-sided decision of mine. A choice between staying here in Manila to serve Sitel or to go back to Kalinga and finish college. Deym, I should have graduated a long time ago.

This is something that I've been planning a long time ago, and could have done a long time ago; but there have been a lot of factors that crossed my path that had me kept my job instead. Friends, money, and being independent are just some of them. But this time they will be treasured and never be forgotten.

I know I will be going back to my hometown; but it's not same place that I've left before... well it's not really 'left' as in I've never returned, I always had some vacation though. Tabuk is a city now. There were lots of changes especially about infrastructures. Kalinga province is fast-progressing now, I think the public servants are better these days... hopefully.

So, this would be the beginning of the countdown.

Along came the spider, there goes the spider.

iKalinga T-Shirt (again)

Here is the latest iKALINGA T-Shirt design in bloody-red color.

Feeling good for my iKALINGA T-Shirts

I sold about 75% of the merchandise and yet there are still orders from those who was not able to buy their won t-shirts. I just feel good about this and hopefully this would elevate to what I always wanted, establish my own store for iKALINGA stuffs.

Again, the table is still open for orders. Thanks.

iKALINGA T-Shirts and the Ullalim Festival

I congratulate my fellow iKalingas for having a successful Ullalim Festival for this year and hopefully we will be having a better celebration next year.

Though I was not able to go home, again, to witness the entire festival I still managed to get updates from my friends and siblings there in our province. As for my merchandise, the iKALINGA t-shirts, I could say that its market was OK. I want to thank those people who bought their own shirts; and also to those who had come to know it.

The iKALINGA T-shirts are still available and there will be more designs to come. Watch out!

iKALINGA T-Shirts is now on sale!

The Kalinga Day (Ullalim Festival) celebration opened today; too bad for me I cannot be there. I always wanted to participate for the activities there; like the street dancing, join my tribe play the gongs. Anyways, I'm proud to be a Kalinga and am very thankful to all those people who had made the Ullalim Festival as good as it gets.

On the other hand, the iKALINGAt-shirts that I've designed is now on sale there in the trade-fair area. So go and grab yours now.

iKALINGA T-Shirts

For sale on Kalinga Day!

No Leaves for Kalinga Day

I'm so disappointed and sad for the leave that I filed for the Kalinga Day (Ullalim Festival) was not approved. Sigh!

Nevertheless, I would still have to sell my iKALINGA t-shirts. So, hopefully, my merchandise will all be sold-out.

iKALINGA Shirts on Kalinga Day

Earlier this morning I've been thinking if I'm going to push thru my plans of selling iKALINGA shirts this coming Ullalim Festival (Kalinga Day); what was holding my decision to do so was the approval of my requested vacation leaves (VL). Sigh. It's really hard for us, here in the office, to get our VLs approved these days.

After some 'random thoughts' I have decided (100%) to sell those iKALINGA shirts; anyways there is already a trade-booth reserved for us. That's the good thing.

Anyone interested to order the iKALINGA shirt you can message me here, eMail me (julzryu@yahoo.com), or text me (09197197606) for details. Thank you.

A Prayer (Banao Tribe)

I've seen a video of this prayer in Youtube and it is really touching.

Apo Kabunyan, Amami un mannakabalin,
Sika jit nanjayjayawan jajit manakom mi
Sika jit nanvantay kabayatan un siviviyag pay laeng jajit A-ammami
Sika nagtod si laing sijajit A-appomi un siya jit gapu na un kaawad mi sin saton un al-algaw
Sin saton un algaw, jawaton mi kan sika un ipatawid nu kan jakami jit sirib kan laing
Un kama met laeng sijit panangipatawid nu sijajit manakom mi
Tapno sinsaton un kaawad mi ket manballigi para si manpiya-an ton Vanao(Banao) un ili mi.

Kama met laeng un jawatun mi un bendisyonam amin jajit ganakmi
Iti kasta ket itultuloy ja ton napintas un panggopmi un aamma ja.
Namnamami un gapu si panangtarabay nu ket matago ja un manjayjayaw si kinamannakabalin nu.
Kama met laeng un magangpot ton gapun ji kaawad mi sin saton
Namnamami un awad jajit angheles nu un mansalaknib kan jakami nu kawad man ji manturungan ji dalan mi.

Siya jato amin ton jawat mi Apo Kabunyan ot namnamaon mi un itod nu kan jakami gapu ta ma-id savalin langtay nu aji si Jesu Kristo un Anak nu kan Apo mi. Amen.

Malapit na naman ang Ullalim Festival (Kalinga Day) sa aking bayang kinalakhan; ang pestibal na ito ay mangyayari sa buwan ng Pebrero. Lahat kayo ay imbitado para dumalo, sabihin niyo na rin ito sa mga kaibigan niyo; at kaibigan ng mga kaibigan niyo. Hehehe.

(The 2 logos that you are seeing above will be used on the t-shirts that we will be selling on Kalinga Day)

If you are a writer you know that there's nothing more difficult than to think how you will start your work. If you are a good writer then you could immediately work your imagination and move out of that stage. If you are a very good writer then you may or may not agree to me and stick to what you know.

In this blog you can read about what I do. You can read about what I've been through. I am not encouraging you to know more about me, that's alright for what I will be posting here is somewhat near to my personal interests. I do have my other blogs that talks about sports and anything under the sun. I have my blog about basketball, about boxing, and about anything. Well you see you can have a daily dose of nothing here; if my posts can help you in any way then that will be good, if not then I still have to thank you for reading.

You might be asking what iKalinga means; well it means that I am raised and from the province of Kalinga. People had been relating names to my beloved province; the Land of the Brave,the Home of the Warriors, the Place of No Return! Behind those tags, still Kalinga is Kalinga.

This post could be a good start for this blog. I'll try to update or post everyday. Oh, the coffee is getting cold, I will have to drink it up. By the way, I love coffee!
