Hiking Exercise

Yesterday I went to SM City Cebu to get tickets for our way back to Iligan City for the Christmas vacation. As I went to the traveler's lounge, I was surprised to see too many people waiting outside. I myself got like 5 minutes to get inside and have a look at the available boat schedules. I got a #62 priority number. I looked up the priority screen and saw #90. It's still too long to wait so I went out and headed my way to the mall. I just strolled and bought something worthwhile for me (thanks to the 13th month pay, HAHAHA). After an hour I went back to the traveler's lounge. The priority screen printed #42. I thought it's worth a wait, so I waited. At #45, the security guard went near me and asked me if I am getting tickets from Gothong Lines and I said "Yes" and then to my dismay he said that there will be no more issuing of Gothong Line tickets since they ran out of stubs. Darns! I got outside and waited for Jeremy to arrive at Bo's Coffee. Jeremy arrived at about 4:30PM and then we headed out to another ticket station and got tickets. We strolled at the mall and then we decided to go home at 6PM.

At 6PM we got out of the mall. To our surprise, it's raining and then there are too many people at the Van-For-Hire terminal. We decided to get a taxi. Again to our dismay, too many people are rushing to get a vacant one. Dratz! We went far away from the mall so that we can get a vacant taxi first. Again to our dismay there were too many people. We walked from SM city up to Mabolo to get a taxi, but still there were too many people. So we decided to go back to SM and just get a public jeepney. Still we don't have luck. We decided again to take a hike up to Ayala, and to our luck we just got a taxi just before we got in to the other mall. Damn it took us 2.5 hours just to get a ride home.

That was sheer exercise. Whew! At home, I just mixed the island lime with gin and then we feasted on it! HAHAHA!

Not Like This

Cheers for MSU-IIT - They bagged the 2005 Trend Micro Challenge

Hooray for MSU-IIT! They really got the 1 million pesos challenge by Trend Micro. Honestly, I envy them not because of the money but because of the experience. Sana naging estudyante pa ako at sana ako rin ang nandun sa competition (BWAHAHAHAHA).

As you can view it on iBalita forums, there had been talks on their title, but I was dismayed by the reaction of most "forum mainstayers". THEY REALLY WERE THINKING THAT THOSE STUDENTS WE'RE AIMING FOR THE POT MONEY BUT NOT FOR THE CHALLENGE AND EXPOSURE.

People, try not to jump into conclusions, will you? It's not because the POT money was really that big, just don't get yourself be hooked up with the conclusion that MONEY WILL ALWAYS BE A REASON FOR EVERYTHING. It could be prestige, exposure, challenge, opportunity, but it's not always money. Try to ask first peeps!!!!

Regularization

It has been too long. Hiatus prevented me to visit my blog. But oh well, here I am again.

Today marks the very first day of December 2005. Only 24 days to go and then we celebrate Christmas. Before I could embrace the spirit of Christmas, there is one thing in which I should embrace for now.

Most employees on companies (I will just say MOST) undergo 6 months of training. With this 6 months, one must do their stuff in order for them to earn praises from their boss/bosses, and for them to get their regularization status in a company.

To make all things short I am in my 6th month in Western Wats. I feel scared because I might not get that. I think positive, but I have swirling thoughts in mind. With such too many bloopers that I have encountered during my 6 months training I really would think negative about my work.

How I wish I can get that regularization.
