Back to Square One

Tomorrow is a non-working holiday to commemorate Bonifacio day which is today. Yes, only in the Philippines that we do have this "holiday economics" were we adjust "non-working" holidays to fit in for a long weekend haha. However, I will not be the one who will "benefit" because I have work tomorrow because of an urgent project we have in the office. The good side though is that we will not have work on Friday to make up for us going to work tomorrow (plus our bosses will have a trip abroad this coming weekend). But actually today I submitted my resignation letter or a letter of non-interest of a contract renewal since I will leave the company after my contract ends this December 8. So I just have five days left with my first job. Kind of sad but I have to set my sentimentality aside and be practical. I do have two pending job applications which I think I have good chances of getting in but nothing is sure yet so I would not hold my breath just yet. The risk of being a bum again is a bit bothering me but hey this is the risk I'm willing to take.

Ultimate Countdown


This week, I finally bought Fred Bronson's Billboard Hottest Hot 100 Hits 4th edition. Bronson is a chart expert and columnist of Billboard.com and last February my e-mail to him was published on the Chart Beat Chat portion of Billboard.com (read it here). Anyway, I've been planning to buy his book for a long time already but it's a bit expensive and it's hard to find actually in our local bookstores. After some extra cash I saved from my salary, I finally bought the book last Monday. It's the second most expensive book I bought next to Harry Potter Book 7 hehe. I really enjoyed the book, it contains several lists, top 100 songs of an artist , a label, a year, decade, nationality and some "special" stuff like top 100 songs about colors and places. Plus the top 5, 000 songs of Billboard of all time, oh well at least until February 2007., the cut off perido for the book. The ranking is just based on chart performance, there are assigned points for every rank and they tallied all charts from 1955 until February 2007. What a tedious work right? But how I wish I could be involved in that kind of project as well haha. Anyway, the #1 for the top 5,000 was Smooth by Santana feat Rob Thomas.
Over time, I will share some stuff lifted from the book. This book is definitely a collector's item especially for people like me who have an unusual fondness for music charts. Maybe in five to ten years a new edition will be released and for sure I willl buy:D

200402091

I visited DLSU-D today, first time in almost six months. It really felt nostalgic once I entered the campus. I was there to claim my Alumni ID. In the Alumni office, two former classmates were also there, I was really happy to see them. I wish I saw more though so it could be like a mini reunion for our block.
After getting my ID, I went to the office of Heraldo Filipino. Sadly, no one was there. So I just went home.
As I walk, I was really nostalgic, this place has been my home for four years. The best years of my young life were spent here. Even if I did not set foot there for almost six months, I still felt at home. I was thinking earlier on while commuting that it would feel strange when I get there but it did not. There are major changes in the infrastructure but it was still the same atmosphere that made me feel comfortable.
But my time there is over and I need to move on already.
I hope someday, I could find a place where I could feel at home like what I felt with DLSU-D.

Roll

First, I am aware that my so-called problems pales in comparison with what other people are experiencing. I know that but just let me vent my frustrations, I’m not saying my life is the worst of all anyway. I’m just in this bad mood. Let me rant. I need to release this before I blow up.

Okay here are my frustrations, warning some are shallow but well it still irritates me.
Let’s start with the not so serious one, Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone and Pushing Daisies are now canceled. Three of my favorite new US shows last year are gone. So sad. I want to blame the network but well I understand it is business. The shows failed. Very unfortunate. I just hope the stories of those shows will have a decent closure at least.
It is just sad when a show close to your heart ended badly.

Now, I’m so frustrated with my Internet connection. It is not stable. I always get the limited or no connectivity notice everytime I open this laptop. Sometimes, after a few minutes and disable/enable I will get a connection. But some nights it just would not. Then there will be times when I’m in the middle of surfing I will get disconnected. It is so annoying. Yes, I’m such a loser since I could not live without the Internet. This has been the “place” where I feel happy.

Then this laptop is just slow. There is a virus in the Internet Explorer, to remove it I need to do it manually but I’m no computer expert. This laptop is just secondhand, I want to get it fixed but I have no time.

Then my PC in the office is down as well, I’m using the office laptop for the meantime which is not user friendly. But hey I’m gonna leave the company anyway after my contract ends on December 8. Now it leads me to my work frustrations.

The people I work with are nice, approachable and friendly. The company is just starting but it is growing. But I don’t like my work. I don’t feel any sense of accomplishment. It sucks to feel that way. And yes, the salary is also a factor. You know I could tolerate a not so huge salary as long as I enjoy the job but unfortunately I don’t like the job that I do for the company. I could not give my 100% when working even if some of the tasks assigned to me ain't that hard. That’s why I decided not to renew. It will be unfair for the company for me to work there yet I'm not being an asset.

I applied in a company where a high school classmate works for, he encouraged me to try it out It’s an editing job for some foreign documents. I hope I’ll get in, I will have my second interview this Wednesday.

The company that I am applying for is not really my "dream" company . But the pay is good enough, way better with what I’m earning right now so I guess that would be a motivating factor for me if I get hired AND if ever I will not like the job as well.

It really saddens me that life after college is just so disappointing so far: a bum for several months then becoming an unsatisfied employee on my first job. It really is hard to get a job that YOU REALLY WANT! That’s the harsh reality. I know beforehand that the real world isn’t a walk in the park. I conditioned myself already early on that it won’t be easy. But its really different when you are already there.

Lastly, I feel so frustrated because I could not go anywhere near my dreams because of my own fault. I set so many limitations mainly because I am too afraid to step out of my comfort zone.

I do not know how to wrap up this post nicely so I’ll just end here.

Funny Komiks 2008 2nd and 3rd Issue

In August, my beloved childhood komiks, Pilipino Funny Komiks for Children commonly known as Funny Komiks went back into circulation. I planned to buy the second issue but I could not find any. I panicked thinking that their return might not have been that successful and seized production again. But this week , I finally found the second issue AND the third issue. I'm glad they still continued. I am aware that I am no longer part of the target market of the revived FK but why am I still buying? This is my way of supporting Funny Komiks as I hope that their return will be for good. Plus, shelling out 18 pesos ain't a pain in my wallet. Anyway, for those interested here are the covers of the two issues.

The Second Issue



The Third Issue

Visiting Bohol



It has been a week since we visited our province Bohol to visit the graves of our loved ones there. It was a short but very meaningful trip. It has been seven years since I last visited Bohol and a lot has changed. On our flight to Bohol it was very evident that our province has become a tourist attraction as our flight was composed of 60% foreigners from Koreans to Japanese to Australians to Indians to Americans. I'm very happy for our province because before it was underrated gem in the Visayas.
For the first time, we stayed in an inn and not with a relative. Well, since our visit is really short and the cemeteries we will visit are miles apart it was practical for us to stay in an inn in Tagbilaran city plus we rented a car for easy transportation. And well since our maternal grandmother passed away, whom we usually stay with during vacations, it wont be the same anymore.
Anyway, when we saw the house of Mama Iyang (maternal grandmother) I really felt sad since she is no longer there to welcome us. But what made me smile is that her brother and his family is living there and they reallly maintained the house like how Mama would. And they are a big family, with her wife and her daughter's family. It was the opposite before because Mama lived alone for decades in that house. Somehow I know Mama is happy since her home will be well taken care of.
You know what, I've realized that the more you try to repress your emotion the more that it will burst up. This is what I felt when I saw Mama's grave. I was not in the funeral last year because of school. I tried not to cry when I saw her grave but later on I could not control it anymore and I really cried hard to the point the kids in the cemetery were looking at me, well I got conscious and eventually my emotion subsided.



We visited more cemeteries and most of them are located in hills so it was a bit tiring.
The next day since we only have limited time before our flight back home we only had a mini road trip to Bohol and visited some places. Like the church where my parents got married.




Although our "pasyal" time was short it was still a refreshing trip. I appreciated the simple life there. See the photos of my trip here.



Hopefully, this would be a yearly trip for us.

And The Winner is




After one of the most publicized election season in the history of US and the world, Democratic frontrunner Senator Barack Obama was elected as the 44th President of the United States of America after getting 349 electoral votes against the 162 electoral votes Republican nominee Senator John McCain received.

Forty-seven-year old Obama is the first African American to win presidency in US history. In his first speech as president-elect delivered before a crowd of 125,000 people at Grant Park in Chicago, Obama said that change has come to America, ““If there is anyone out there who doubts that America is a place where anything is possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer,” he said.

On the other hand, McCain accepted his defeat and even called Obama to congratulate him as mentioned by Obama during his address with his supporters in Arizona. “The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly,” he said in his speech. McCain also called for unity and expressed support for Obama “We both recognize that though we have come a long way from the old injustices that once stained our nation’s reputation and denied some Americans the full blessings of American citizenship, the memory of them still have the power to wound…Let there be no reason for any American to fail to cherish their citizenship in this, the greatest nation on Earth,” McCain said.

Considered as the factors for Obama’s victory where his wins in Florida, a controversial and sought after state in recent elections; Ohio, where incumbent President George W. Bush won twice; Colorado, home of the religious right and Virginia, ending the 40 years streak of Republican victories.
