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.

Movies: Dorian Gray

In the office doing nothing, while waiting for calls we decided to watch Dorian Gray.

A naïve young man. A lovelorn artist. A corruptible Lord. A deal with the Devil. It all paints a dark picture of a Victorian London and how the rich and infamous party at their peril. Here, the telling of time and its consequence of experience for life's treasures' takes its toll on the body, mind and soul. The haunting and bleak tale of power, greed, vanity and inevitable self-destruction is ever present amongst the deceit, opium dens and sin.

Fresh-faced and innocent, Dorian Gray arrives in London to move into the house he has inherited. Almost immediately he falls under the influence of amoral and calculating Lord Henry Wotton, leading to a life of increasing debauchery and even violence. Through many years Gray stays as young-looking as ever, while a portrait painted when he arrived grows old, reflecting his increasing excesses. Eventually the picture, now secreted in his attic, becomes almost hideous to behold. When true love finally enters his life he realises he must guard his secret at all costs.

Remembering KR (retracted)

I'm sorry I would not be able to post the article.

Remembering KR (update)

I thought I could finish and post the article I was writing about KR this week but seems like things are getting a little rough and it is causing the delay. I will be updating later. Thanks.

EARTH Hour!

VOTE EARTH!
YOUR LIGHT SWITCH IS YOUR VOTE

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Coliseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

Saturday, March 28, 8:30-9:30pm.

Thank you for Voting!

Dragonfly

I don't know why this movie came to my mind again after several years.

This movie was released on the year 2002 and I wanted to watch it on the big screen; unfortunately I was not able to. I told myself to buy a DVD copy of the movie instead, again I was not able to.

I've seen the trailers, read the reviews, and heard comments for the movie and those made me somewhat desperate to watch it. Seven years of waiting for something to happen. I know the movie is good. It's about belief, family and love ones. Dragonfly is a supernatural thriller about a man who believes that his deceased wife is trying to communicate with him through the near-death experiences of her patients. Well that's what the reviews are saying. Hehehe!

Help! Can somebody help me get a copy of the movie. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Robbery | Murder | Greed | Reputation

Days had passed and still seems like my mind is being bothered. By what?

I dunno, maybe a death of a friend; a death of a Filipino artist; or more death to come. Whatta! What am I thinking? I dunno why, now, I am hearing a lot of things being thrown against the Medical City; the institution, I once knew, that is one of the best in the country.

It all started when Roseville passed away.

I really don't want to write about her experience in Medical City. I really don't want to say anything about how she died. I really don't want to write about how she'd fought her illness. I really don't want to... Then what am I gonna do?

Am I going to keep my mouth shut about what happened to our friend? Am I going to keep my eyes close pretending that we don't seeing anything wrong?

Well, now I want to talk.

The Medical City (MedCity) is being tagged as one of the best hospitals in the country. They kept their reputation very well. And they still are.

A few weeks back, my friend went to MedCity for checkup because she can hardly tolerate the pain she's feeling from her stomach; she's claiming it to be Gastric Ulcer. However, about 4 doctors from MedCity told her that it is an Acute Appendicitis and that it will be better for her that she will go under operation.

Roseville told me that she had requested for endoscopy first before any operation for she believed that it's not her appendix that is having a problem, but the doctors insisted that they are sure about their diagnosis. Well, Roseville is not a doctor nor a nurse so she had trusted those specialists.

Operation was done.

Hours after the operation, Roseville was rather in good condition, she was standing and walking already. Seeing what they believed a good sign of their successful operation, the doctors informed my friend that she can go home anytime. Well she did chose to be discharged for she doesn't want her hospital bill to rocket up.

Now the question is, why did the doctors let her go out without hospital recovery? I mean, she didn't spend 24 hours in the hospital to recover. And one more thing, she was given just pain-killer medicines not anti-biotics. Whatta?!

What happened to your medical expertise you... &*^#?!

Few days after the operation, my friend felt sick again. I was informed by her housemate that she'd been in a fever and was chilling. She even asked me to go to their apartment for her housemate will be going to work and that she doesn't have anybody there to accompany her. (By the way, Roseville was my housemate before for more than a year.)

She was rushed to MedCity (again) for she had already fainted.

Back in the hospital, the doctors still held to their previous diagnosis. We kept on asking the doctor-in-charge and the nurses about what may have caused her chilling, fever, and her faint experience. They couldn't answer.

We asked them again if it could be a possible internal hemorrhage. They couldn't answer. They were in denial.

Medicines were given to her. IV fluids injected to her blood vessels. Machines were used to verify her illness. Money being extracted. Still no result.

One doctor claimed Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). Whatta?!

What's that, a legal robbery? (This is a robbery but we have to operate you first!)

Roseville was again discharged after then.

At home, she rested hoping she will recover; get better and go back to work to earn for a living. She failed to report to work.

She was rushed again to MedCity for she's feeling worse already. She was vomiting. She was so sick.

After numerous diagnosis and medicines, the doctors decided to do operation again. This time they are going to check her digestive system. So she and the family decided to comply. She was operated.

They were able to see that her intestines failed.

to be continued...

Musika irita...

Di ko alam kung bakit nagiging ganito na naman ako, nagiging radical. Lahat na lang ng alam ko na mali, alam ko na di dapat, ay aking sinisita at binibigyan komento.

Araw-araw pagpasok ko dito sa opisina ay may tinutugtog na musika, dati'y masarap pakinggan; napapasabay ang padyak sa tunog. Subalit ngayo'y parang nakaka-irita na; nagiging masakit na sa tenga ang mga musikang ito. Parang paulit-ulit lang. Nakakabored na ika nga. Nagsimula etong lahat mga ilang araw na ang nakakalipas. Ewan ko ba dito sa opisina; hindi na work and fun... work and work na lang. Kahit pilit panatilihin ang fun ay mahirap; nahihirapan 'di lang ako, pansin ko rin eto sa mga kasama ko dito sa trabaho.

Ahh.. basta ang musika ay nakaka-irita na.

Greetings!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Sabi niya... Sabi ko...

Maaga akong umalis ng bahay papuntang ofis, baka kasi ma-late na naman delikado na. Hehehe. Maganda yung pinapatugtug kanina na musika sa bus na sinakyan ko, hmmm 'OK to ah', Jon Bon Jovi in the house yoh!

Nung nasa San Juan na kami eh may pumarang dalawang babae, pagpasok pa lang eh biglang napalitan yung musika na naririnig ko, yung ingay nung dalawa na anlakas. Parang nasa palengke na ako; akala ko pa naman magiging komportable ang aking pagbyiahe. Akala lang pala.

Di ko na lang pinapansin yung ingay, kaso di ko mapigilan; nakaka-irita, masakit sa tenga. Pare-pareho lang ang mga salita na naririnig ko mula sa kanilang usapan. Yung isang babae na nagkukuwento puro "Sabi ko... Sabi niya... Sasabihin..." Iniisip ko tuloy, 'di ba naiirita etong kausap niya?'

Ang sagot sa aking tanung ay bigla na lang lumabas sa ere galing sa bibig nung babaeng kausap nu nagdada; "Sabi niya... Sabi ko... Sabi.."

Putsa! pareho sila. Naman!

Trening na naman!

Inaantok na naman ako. Nasa trening na naman kasi eh. Tsktsk!

Kaninang umaga nagising ako ng maaga. Maaga rin ako na bumiyahe papunta trabaho pero maaga din na nagkaroon ng mabagal na trapik sa aking binabaybay na daan. Namputs! Pagkababa ko sa Robinsons eh tumakbo pa ako papasok dito sa opis, pagod, hinihingal. Only to find out na wala akong regular shift dahil may trening daw ako sa gabi. Ano?! Umiral na naman ang pagka-irate ko kanina at pagtra-trash talk. Ibinuhos ko na lang din ang konting sama ng loob kanina sa paglalaro ng DoTA, kaso talo pa. Wala talaga. Umuwi na lang ako.

Nakatulog naman ako ng mga isang oras bago ako umatend ng trening kaso late pa rin ako ng pagdating dito sa opisina. Naman!

Kaya eto, inaantok na naman. Wala akong maisip. ZZZZzzzzzz....

Lipat

Kumusta?! Tagal ko na ring di nakapag-post ng ipopost dito sa blog na to ah. Wheeew!

Noong mga nakaraang araw kasi eh naging abala ako sa pagrenovate sa bagong kwarto na lilipatan namin; siyempre dapat maganda at malinis bago lilipat para komportable. Naman! Yun nga lang eh medyo lumayo ako sa opisina, tsktsk. Nadagdagan ng isa pang sakayan, pero OK lang yun, cowboy naman tayo eh. Wahahaha! I'm a cowboy beybeh!

Nakakapagod sobra! Ang hirap magpintura lalo na kung di ka gagamit ng mask, tsktsk. Sumakit nga dibdib ko dun eh. Pero ngayon OK na, natutulog na kami sa bagong kwarto, masaya naman. Wala lang. Hehehe!


Oo nga pala, yung larawan na nasa taas eh di po yan yung room na sinasabi ko. Mas maganda pa diyan. Wahahahaha!

Bisor...

First day of work ngayon, sa katunayan malapit na ang katapusan ng shift; sa bahay na naman... same routine. Wahehehe. Anung bago? Hmmm.. nagkaroon kami ng bisor, coach ika nga. Bale pang-lima ko na siyang naging bisor simula noong lumipat ako sa pang-umagang shift; da best shift nga pala. Hehehe!

Ang una kong naging coach dito ay wala na, nag resign na pala (wrong choice of words, hehe). Check ninyo blog niya, eto oh Life of a Dominant Bitch, maraming magandang basahin diyan, lalo na mga escapades niya.

O sige, sige.. next time ulet.

Clearance

Taong 2005 nang nag-apply ako ng NBI clearance sa Baguio City at ako'y nagulat dahil di daw ako mabibigyan ng clearance kasi markado ako. Ano ako, bungo?! Ano ang aking kasalanan o batas na nilabag? Noong inakyat ko yung punong mangga ng aming kapit-bahay para mamitas ng bunga eh utos sa akin ng aking kaibigan yun, yun ba? O baka naman yung panonood namin ng pornograpiya kasama ng barkada? Inaamin ko sumama ako sa rally sa EDSA Shrine at sumigaw ng "ERAP Resign! Erap Resign!" noong taong 2000, pero.. pero.. pero karapatan ko yun di ba? Ano?!

"DOST boy."

Huh!

Taong 2002 nang itinigil ko ang aking iskolarship, bilang iskolar ng bayan, na suporta sa akin ng DOST dahil sa ako'y naging pasaway sa pag-aaral. Gayunpaman, ano man ang nangyari eh kinakailangan ko pa ring ma-clear sa kanila. Ganun daw talaga. Tsktsk.

Hinintay ko ng pagkatagal-tagal, at sa wakas ay nakuha ko na rin, ang clearance ko mula sa Department of Science and Technology (DOST-SEI). Yehey!!! Makakakuha na rin ako ng mga importanteng papeles at identipikasyon gaya ng NBI clearance, Bureau of Immigration clearance, at pasaporte. Kung iniisip ninyo kung bakit ako may trabahong legal dito sa Maynila eh wala pa akong NBI clearance, hmmm, yan ay di ko masasagot ngayon. At tungkol naman sa proseso ng pagkuha ko ng clearance, di ko na kailangang sabihin. Let's just say, how's the Philippine government? Hehehe.

Ah basta, masaya ako.

Trening?!

Ahhhh!

Lumihis na naman ang oras ng aking pagtulog; nasa trening kasi eh. Tsktsk. Di naman ako nagereklamo dahil sa trening na to, wireless printer setup ata to eh, at sa katunayan di talaga ako nagrereklamo. May natutunan naman ng konti, at least pumasok sa kokote, hehehe.

Dati natutulog ako ng di lalampas sa 1:00AM, ngayun mukhang lalampas ah, siguro 1:10AM na. Hahaha! Ang kaso pag-uwi ko diretso tulog na; di ko na malalaro yung PC game ko sa bahay na Kudos at Kudos Rock Legend. Oo nga pala, di na rin ako maka-download ng mga gospel and christian songs (mga kantang pinakikinggan ko, naks!)

Oo nga pala (na naman), yung larong Kudos eh life-simulation game ika nga. Nakakatuwa kaso parang gusto ko nang palitan ng The Sims 3 para mas interactive.

Balik trening na naman.

Tamad!

Sa una masaya at exciting mag-blog; lalo na pag mga katrabaho mu nagbla-blog din. Noon yun, ganun pa rin naman ata sila ngayon eh. Pero ako, ako? Tinatamad na! Di naman ako si Juan, ewan!

Next time ulit ha. (Kita mo, tsktsk.)
