it's been a long time since i last blogged here because i don't have time to rant about ofice and i don't have enought time to go back to ice-skating. i've been preparing to go back to ice-skating since i learned that the next Skate Asia will be held here in the philippines! oh well, i really have something to rant. my college friend decided to apply in our company. i actually encouraged her to and now that she got in i felt a bit annoyed at the idea because she might stole the limelight from me again. it isn't that hard since the limelight isn't really with me.
but i must keep myself thinking at the brighter side of things since this must make me work harder to prove myself. so let's just wait and see what happends since she's starting tomorrow.

| sportsfest and whatnot.. |
[16 May 2006|06:34pm] |
last sunday we had our yearly sportsfest in our organization and it was held in Torres High School in Tondo, Manila. and i feel so worn out up until today and i think that's is becasue of lack of exercise.
i also felt worthless that time well not totally but talk about being so thin and being placed to compete in tug-of-war, not knowing how to play volleyball but was forced to learn before the game becasue i was a filler to fill a team of players. because yeah, we lack players there's only 10 of us there.
and having the lowest score in boggle game. aaargh! i'm supposed to be good at it becasue we use to play a lot of text twist here in our office. i was so ashamed of myself. we chould have won.
and i was so irritated becasue i haven't had a nice sleep and our pres keep nagging me to take pictures of "her" from my camera! i mean, it's ok once in awhile but practically asking me everytime and being demanding about it plus me being the owner i should have control of which shots to take and not her!
it's even ok for me not to be in the picture but purposefully her being there and practically putting me out of it? i don't think that's ok anymore. hope she realized that.
and i don't think working my @7# off is enough for people around me. actually, for almost all the people around me. i mean, it's ok that theydon't get to see my efforts or hardships or results or whatever you may call it but here i go again, i'm like trying to make someone take credit for it. i don't think that's fair!
and my mom.. i don't know call me bad daughter but shouldn't she be a good mother first? i'm not saying she's that bad. but i mean, why does some motheres even if they are too weak already they still strive hard to server their children? if my mom is like that i'd be glad to help her or take over. but seeing she' not working? whole new diff. view here.

| got lazy... |
[11 May 2006|02:18pm] |
last sunday, i had the time to practice ie-skaitng but got too lazy because that was the only time i can sleep for long hours since i don't know when.. and so i'm looking forward to ice-skating this weekend, i don't know how will i do it sine it's mother's day and i have a choir event. i'm not counting too much on it but i really miss ice-skating and i really want to reach fs3. i haven't even started fs2 yet. but, i already passed the technical exam of fs1. the only one lacking is the programme test.
i'd also love to compete outside the country one day, probably next year. i really hope i get to do this goal.

[14 Apr 2006|10:28pm] |
no, not really. i haven't really updated any of my journals anymore. i don't get too much time on my hands. even my weekends are eating up my activities. no regrets though, i'm not even complaining about it. i mean it's all on me on weekends right? but i wanted to do so much things within so little time. that i don't know what will i choose between going out with friends or resting? doing choir chores or cleaning up my room? well, the latter are the ones always taken for granted since i'm thinking i could squeeze it up anytime.
and just because i suck at making layouts i have to get one from createblog.com, so credit is to them not mine. thanks for the layout. ;o)

i don't see much people who have an active dj that's why i don't get encouraged to write in here that often. not that i'm syaing i get to update the rest of my journals often but this one is, i think the least. eventhough i login once in awhile.

haven't updated for the longest time. well, work's keeping me busy. i go home late at night for almost everyday and still have to get up early for another new working day. it's actually fine with me but it's physically tiring and mentally.
i haven't got the time to skate! well, i got the time last sunday but my lazy self got the better of me. lolz. hopefully, i can do it this weekend. because i'm planning to take lessons in february. because our choir service will be already in the afternoon, so hopefully i could take lessons in the morning. i love morning lessons especially on weekdays because there's almost no people in the rink.
i haven't even pulled my butt off the sofa to jumprope. lolz! erk, i was just thrilled and hooked in watching tv last sunday, i watched a movie and 6 series of charmed and the mummy returns. i forgot what movie i watched first but it's in hbo. and on saturday i had to work til 7pm and and have to attend choir practice, attend family dinner because of my bro-in-law's birthday and i was invited to watch narnia. what am i supposed to do? so i SADLY declined the invitation and ditched the practice because i went to the dinner first and it started late so i couldn't go to the practice anymore.
i want to learn how to bike. because my theory is, it helps to have a good calf. and a good calf helps fast skating and well, it's prepared for the jumps. right? ;p

| dream rink |
[25 Nov 2005|10:19am] |

i always dreamed of skating in an outdoor ice skating rink
you can feel the heat of the sun if your skating daytime and you wouldn't freeze of cold and and.. at night time like in the image, it looks so good and feels so good to skate.
i was able to skate last sunday but.. but, i wasn't able to practice well because it's a sunday and there's a lot of kids skating on weekends.
i was also able to talk to my coach that day and scheduled my lessons. it will be every friday at 6pm. it's ok to me since he don't coach on sundays which is my first suggestion lesson date, and saturday afternoon which they told me that it's impossible to jump on a thick saturday crowd, besides i don't want to give up my saturday afternoons, that's the only time i could.. you know squeeze in my personal trips with friends or or.. family. that's the only time i can have relaxation trips/wanderings.
the problem is, i always leave the office at past 6pm, i never leave at exactly 5. maybe once but that was before i have something to really work on and right now, we have a project. maybe i could ask my boss' permission if i could and tell him i could work overtime from mondays through thursdays and even work on saturday afternoon if i have to just to let me out at 5pm on fridays.
another problem is, how could i have my ice-skating shoes? i couldn't possibly bring that in the office. it's either i'll ask our help to bring them at the mrt station and just fetch it or ask my mom/dad to drop it off. dropping it off by my mom and dad is the easiest way i could see and most less hassle.. for me that is. but that means hassle for them especially my dad that he would spend money for the gas and that i'm with my mom and dad from and through my ice skating time. that means i'll look like a kid being accompanied by parents. oh well, let's just see. i'm scheduled on the 2nd of dec because my coach is in singapore until the 28th for a competition i was supposed to be in! :x
that leaves me enough time to practice for my programme test. i'm planning to skate on monday because it's a holiday, bonifacio day. hopefully, i'd be able to have enought time to practice for my test! because, i'm really excited to take my fs2 lessons!

work's fine. i've worked overtime a few nights already but it's all ok. because work isn't so much pressure, i just want to be productive in the office. ;p
i haven't skated since all soul's day. i hope i get to skate tomorrow. and take up my programme fs1 test soon. so i can start worrying about my schedule for my lessons. i'm still hoping i could still take lessons under my old coach but it's ok if it's not. beside i'm already thinking of tranferring coach since then. but he seemd to be an effective coach the only flaws are that he's constantly absent and i've only got limited times to skate and he asks his student to pay to him directly instead of paying at the administration's office.
but i felt all ok when i knew he wasn't only doing it to me but to his other students as well. so he doesn't have favoritism, he may has but that's just the way he is. that's his atittude. hehe.

new layout. pic from here the iage is supposed to ba a header but i couldn't center the entry box witht he header so this will be it temporarily because it's already 2:20am!!
work is still fine. though i've stayed late for few nights. just last friday, we've stayed there until 8pm because of a meeting. we've talked about the project we're doing. and they gave me some inspirational talk. i needed it since i'm really doubting myself when it comes to programming. because i've just been introduced to the programming language were going to use and i have to self-study. great! and there's a lot distrations collagus playing pc games and the internet. ;p i really have to discipline myself if i want to have a good impression and be productive. yesterday (saturday) we had another meeting, we discussed about dealing with clients. i guess this is my sort of orientation if i will be sent out already plus we're having a 10-hr english profficiency training. we really needed it. ;p i'm having a lot of english training, i hope i'll really improve. ;p
anyway, i haven't skated for more than a month already. and i wasn't even finished taking the program test but i'm done with the technical part. i can't wait to be in fs2. i just really hope i'll be able to skate tomorrow or on tuesday. i just droned on sleeping awhile ago because the weather was so good to wake up, it was raining. ;p
i haven't even done any stretchings. i know it's bad but i'm not having the drive, i'm always thinking i lack sleep to stretch but i always end up sleeping a little late than what i've planned. i really i could skate this vacation so i could the program test and be in fs2! so that my only problem will be where to put the lessons in my working schedule.

| not so good... |
[01 Sep 2005|11:30pm] |
(aug-22) my friend and i went jobhunting.. we were able to submit some resume but there was this one company, they really have IT positions.. but they asked us to program on the spot and it didn't go very well.. i feel so down that time.
(aug-23) had an exam and an interview. it was good that i was able to go eventhough i'm attending the unix training. anyway, the exam went ok.. i passed but i still wasn;t interviewed because i forgot the name who contacted me so they don't know whose going to interview me. in the afternoon, i think the interview went fine but the interviewee said to expect from them after 2 weeks if not, i didn't pass.
(aug-31) my friend and i went jobhunting again, this time it didn't go ok either. because... we're supposed to have an exam that morning... but we went on the wrong floor so weren't able to take the exam the girl even said that it was our fault we didn't know where the penthouse is, where the exam is held. but we still pushed through with our jobhunt and went on the wrong company, we applied on this position i don't want but my friend did... oh well..
(sept-2) tomorrow. planning to jobhunt again. i'm planning to try the one in laguna.. it's very far from our place but it might be worth a shot but i'll try to call first before going. i hope tomorrow will turn out fine.

| how the interview went. |
[12 Aug 2005|12:39am] |
|
i was late because.. i admit i woke up late but i was still interviewed. but not by waiting another one and a half hours. and it went for just like 5 mins.
the worst part, i'm not even sure how did it go. i didn't get what she said, if i'm accepted to be a trainee or not and if i am will i be in project-based position or will i be regularized? plus she didn't even mention if i will get a pay from the training. i didn't ask because she was in ahurry and i wasn't expecting too much from it when she said what they were looking for was someone who had professional experience of atleast 6mos. the interviewer just mention to wait for their call for the schdeule of a training. i'm not even sure if i'm supposed to expect a call from them or if they're going to call me if they decided to hire me for training.
i was so into it that i was expecting to get it. i even reviewed the basic of java and something came up to the interview.
so i guess i will just have to see and wait if they'll call me. i'm not even putting my hopes up now. :x but like i said, i'm not giving it up either. ;p

| final interview..? |
[10 Aug 2005|10:59pm] |
|
i had an exam and the inital interview awhile ago and i don't think i did well. i feel down because of that plus the fact that andee had a job already, i mean i feel good for her that she has a job already but it feels like i'm the oly one who doesn't have a job.
but i had extra resume with me and i tried handing some before i go home.
and tonight, just awhile ago. i received a call.. and i'm going for final interview or atlest that's what i heard. i hope i'll do good and get in this time.
wish me luck.

| accenture.... not! |
[06 Aug 2005|02:41pm] |
|
(4-aug) early in the evening. i just got home from skating practice and i got a letter from accenture saying i didn't pass the exam. it was sent last april.. why did it take too long to get it to me? anywya, i've been receiving calls company that're probably accenture's clients considering me for a position but when they knew i've already tried in accenture they back out. :(

| first jobhunt update |
[04 Aug 2005|12:12am] |
(28-jul/thurs)i had a reconsideration exam in spi last thursday for copy editor position. when i was finished, i thought they'd see if i passed and conduct an interview instead they told me that they would just call me.
(29-jul/fri)2 days before, i received a call from sykes asking me if i'm interested for an IT position. of course, i am. they told me i'll receive a call from them the next day for a schedule of an interview. next day came and i didn't receive a call. friday morning, i recieved a call that i will have an interview that afternoon. so all i thought it was just going to be an interview, i tried my best to get mysefl ready. it seems like i was ready for the interview. what i wasn't ready for was the exam. they'd given me a technical exam, programming with VB6. it was just so simple that if i had the time to refresh my mind i would be able to answer it. but i wasn't given the chance, or so i chose to take the exam right then and on.
i was thinking i should have told them i can't and that if i could reschedule it but part of me says, it's right that i have taken the challenge and that part was majority of me. i'm not losing hope.
but..won't only hope and do nothing...
(1-aug/monday) dyne and i passed our resume in an agency in makati. we didn't thought it ws an agency until we got there. and they need programmers for accenture, where i've already tried and didn't even make it through the exam.
i haven't gotten the time to really go jobhunting since i was having problems producing hardcopy of my resume.
