Taking a big step in life...

Starting today I'm exactly counting 21 days and I'm out of SIEMENS. Yup, you heard me right, I haven't officially filed yet my resignation but my mind is all set unless I find something bad on the job offer that THOMSON REUTERS is gonna offer me on April 21st.
I know it's pretty much early to say but I feel mixed emotions on this big step that I'm going to make. HAPPY for I'll be looking forward to a whole new challenge that will give me better opportunity to whatever perhaps I wanted to be plus the fact that it gives out better pay, how much? Nah!! figure it out guys, I won't tell, besides who wants to settle for something less, right? Well, also I feel SADNESS in my heart because I'm going to leave some great people and a great account though my task are pretty much hard. After 3 years of my stay with SIEMENS I'm moving out because I wanted to explore new things, be on a different place plus of course experience a better pay. It's pretty much normal I guess for a family man like me to be not contented on what I'm earning now for I do think of my family's future every now and then. To send my kids to a better school and give them a better life is what have my main goal since I became a father. If I will be given a choice I really don't want to leave SIEMENS especially my NIKE family for they really are the one who makes me feel that I'm important. I never felt this kind of importance in my other jobs that's why this decision is very much tough for me to do. And to all my NIKE family, long live the account and thanks for all the memories, damn I will not shed a tear, not now. Huhuhu =(
Well, I just hope that GOD will still guide me on this new company that I'll be working with, same guidance that HE has given me while I'm staying here at SIEMENS. Until now, I don't have any idea on what would I write in my farewell letter but surely I'm gonna miss my NIKE FAMILY.

Hahahaha...is all I can say!!!!


Well it's weekend in the US that's why I am so wasted with my work. Too many retail escalations and urgent cases. Oh geezzz...I'm dead. I can't even open my mouth to talk anymore. Good thing still I find sometime to read things over the internet while working with a store. Anyway, despite of my most tiring day this one really tickles me a lot and even made me turn my phone on mute and laugh for few seconds just like a crazy man who saw something really funny. Enjoy this guys:


Bill Gates Goes to Hell
Bill Gates dies in a car accident. He finds himself in purgatory, being sized up by St. Peter.“Well, Bill, I’m really confused on this call; I’m not sure whether to send you to Heaven or Hell. After all, you enormously helped society by putting a computer in almost every home in America, yet you also created that ghastly Windows ‘95. I’m going to do something I’ve never done before in your case; I’m going to let you decide where you want to go.”
Bill replied, “Well, what’s the difference between the two?”
St. Peter said, “I’m willing to let you visit both places briefly, if it will help your decision.”
“Fine, but where should I go first?”
“I’ll leave that up to you.”
“Okay then,” said Bill, “Let’s try Hell first.”
So Bill went to Hell. It was a beautiful, clean, sandy beach with clear waters and lots of bikini-clad women running around, playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun was shining; the temperature perfect. He was very pleased.“This is great!” he told St. Peter. “If this is hell, I REALLY want to see heaven!”
“Fine,” said St. Peter, and off they went.
Heaven was a place high in the clouds, with angels drifting about, playing harps and singing. It was nice, but not as enticing as Hell. Bill thought for a quick minute, and rendered his decision.“Hmmm. I think I’d prefer Hell,” he told St. Peter.
“Fine,” retorted St. Peter, “as you desire.”
So Bill Gates went to Hell.
Two weeks later, St. Peter decided to check on the late billionaire to see how he was doing in Hell. When he got there, he found Bill, shackled to a wall, screaming amongst hot flames in dark caves, being burned and tortured by demons.“How’s everything going?” he asked Bill.
Bill responded, with his voice filled with anguish and disappointment,“this is awful! This is nothing like the Hell I visited two weeks ago! I can’t believe this is happening! What happened to that other place, with the beautiful beaches, the scantily-clad women playing in the water?!??? ”“That was a demo. A trial Version.”

Today is Wacky Day and tomorrow is HB day.... reminiscing TC2ICALFY!!!! =)

Today is wacky day and I just turned 26 yrs old today. Well, I just wish for more happiness in life than what I have right now although I'm pretty much contented on what's happening. I have my loving wife, 2 cute little and sweet angels, what more can I ask for? Probably, once I provide them the life I really wished I could give them then that could make me happier and more fulfilled. I really don't want to do some flashback here coz I don't want to look at those rough days that I had although I really learn a lot from it and there's no way for me to turn back time as well.

Today is wacky day but tomorrow definitely is a very much special day for me, well not only for me but also for my wife for it is our 4TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY. They say time is so fast that you will never see it coming, I guess it's true for I never imagined that I'm celebrating 4 years with someone who has been my best friend, my partner, my woman and my life. I really wish that our relationship and family will become stronger and so we can overcome those challenges that will come.
And to my wife....MY ONLY WIFE!!!
From this day forward I promise you that I will always here for you, to support your every action and listen to your stories. To be the first person that will keep you safe from harm and never to make you cry AGAIN. I may not be perfect in some ways but I'll promise to be the best partner in life until the day we end our time here on earth.
I LOVE YOU AND I'M SO THANKFUL TO GOD ABOVE THAT HE GAVE ME NOT ONLY A PARTNER OR A WIFE BUT A REASON TO LIVE.
THANKS TO GOD BECAUSE HE SHOWED ME THAT IT WAS NOT TOO LATE FOR ME TO KEEP YOU AND THE KIDS AGAIN.

Office boy working in morning shift...so boring

Updates...well not that much good thing as I can say. My Lola is still ill and things are getting worst this time. She is out of the ICU yet most of her systems are failing and now her blood pressure is going down which should be good but not for it crosses the border of a normal measure. I really wish "BRO" can do something about it or even at least ease the pain that she feels right now.
On Wednesday, I'll be attending the graduation of my eldest daughter and I'm very much excited to see her on stage, getting her diploma (certificate) for completing Kindergarten level. Flashback!!! Hahahaha...I remember when I was on her age, I used to join contests and received the Most Outstanding Student award for the whole Kinder Class in our school, same school where my eldest is right now. That was a little bit of a pressure for that brings out my parents having high expectations on me for my upcoming grade school years. I actually told my daughter that I don’t care if she is in the honor list or not but as long as she has good grades then I’m good with that. I really don’t want my daughter to feel the same pressure that I have felt before that’s why I really don’t want her to be in the honor list. For me that doesn’t make any sense, after all the real fight is in college. I don’t know what gift I’ll be giving to my eldest for I’m really broke right now but of course as parent I know I should do something about it and so I could show her that I acknowledge her perseverance and hard work.
Honestly, I really wish I can have both my kids be transferred to private schools for I know that the way of teaching private schools provide is higher or let say better than way teaching is being done in public. I don’t know if you agree on that but I’ve experience that before and I’m telling you, there are some times that I really wish study on a private school. Well, they say that this is usually nonsense for everything boils down to the child itself which I find to be fair enough fact.
Ah, its 4:30 here and I feel a small pain in my head for I’m fighting my sleepy feeling here in the office. I really don’t want to smoke that much for that wouldn’t help at all. I just want to take a nap but I can’t do that on my station for there’s a lot of EXPATS walking around came all the way from Siemens Germany. What a bad day?! Well, I better finish this for now…..

My Granny is at Danger Zone

Just right now I got an update from my mom that my Lola (grandmother) was just transferred from the ICU to the charity ward of UERM. Just to give you a background of this incident, she just finished 3 series of operations because of a complication found in her large intestine. It was then last week when she was discharge from the hospital and right after few days at around 3AM, she complained of having a hard time to breath that's why she was rushed again to the same hospital and was directed to the ICU area.I really feel bad about this for she was the one who took care of me, watched over me when I was growing and always defend me from my mother (you know how it usually happen that our grandparents turns out to be our attorneys when it comes to a trial versus our parents?!).

Well, things come and go and I have to accept the fact that Lola is not that kinda young to bare the pain that she is suffering right now. This is truly a one big question that I wanted to ask to some people, would you fight to make your love one live despite of the fact that he/she is suffering too much pain and he/she can't bear it anymore or would you let go and let that dying person wait until his/her time is over?


Most people say that it’s better to take a chance when it comes to these kinds of situations but if we talk about practicality, would we consider this as a correct statement? Probably yes if you are wealthy enough and you can support all the expenses but what if you're not? Does that start the final countdown?Well it's true that life is just like a rosary that's full of mystery and death is like a thief at the night, you'll never know when it's going to attack. I just hope that my Lola could still survive this phase of her life and she can celebrate her upcoming birthday on the 15Th of April.

Dare to Trade....?

Today is what 03/17 9:53PM here in the office and it's my so called last day for I'll be off in the next 2 days. Honestly, I'm not feeling well 'coz I have been hit by the pouring rain when I picked up my eldest daughter from her school.

I honestly don't listen to the radio that much and if I do I make sure that I'm just listening to either light rock or the home radio station 'coz they play cool and relaxing music. But all along I thought that radios are there just keep us relax and that's about it. Well, I guess I'm wrong until I listen to these 3 guys who's been talking about topics under the sun which is pretty much interesting to listen to. My shift ends at 6AM and I see to it that I listen to their show on my way home to keep me awake from the night shift and guess what these guys are effective morning delight. By the way, to those of you who can read my blog and put some comments on it, I'm taking up this chance right now to plug their show, goodtimeswithmo every morning at 6-9AM.

Ok, let's go to the real part of this blog that happens to be a good topic they opened up. One big question that you may want to think before giving out your answers…

"WHAT IS THE THING THAT IS BETTER THAN SEX?" or let's have it this way I guess, "WHAT IS THE THING THAT YOU CAN TRADE INSTEAD OF HAVING SEX?" "AND FOR HOW LONG WOULD THAT BE?"

Example, if I can bring my family to Hong Kong Disneyland, with a pocket money and free accommodations then I can stop having sex for a month or two.

Now let see what you got on your mind!!!! Hahahaha....

My fight 'til the end....

Wag Ka Ng Umiyak
Sugarfree

Wag ka nang umiyak sa mundong pabago-bago
Pag-ibig ko ay totoo
Ako ang bangka
Kung magalit man ang alon at panahon
Sabay tayong aahon

Chorus:
Kung wala ka ng maintindihan
Kung wala ka ng makapitan
Kapit ka sa akin (kapit ka sa akin)
Hindi kita bibitawan

Wag ka nang umiyak mahaba man ang araw
Uuwi ka sa yakap ko
Wag mo nang damdamin
Kung wala ako sa iyong tabi
Iiwan ko ang puso ko sayo
At kung pakiramdaman mo'y
Wala ka ng kakampi
Isipin mo ako dahil
Puso't isip ko'y nasa iyong tabi

Kung wala ka nang maintindihan
Kung wala ka nang makapitan
Kapit ka sa akin (kapit ka sa akin)
Hindi kita bibitawan
Hindi kita paba-bayaan (di kita paba-bayaan)
Kapit ka... kumapit ka...

As of this moment, I feel a real great pain in my head probably because I haven’t got enough sleep and I have to work on a night shift so I have to fight for this damn called dizziness. Anyway, I heard this song before and saw the video for quite few times already and I would say that Sugarfree is one hell of a genius writing this one. I don’t know what’s inside Ebe’s mind when he wrote this nor his feelings when he made this but what I can say is that he feels a real great feeling that a truly, madly, deeply in love person would feel for his/her partner. I even almost shed a tear when I first heard the song for it really captivated my feelings as well. Aarrgghhh…if I made it first I probably have my wife on my head while working on this one because I wanted to tell her that after all those foolish things I have done in the past still I wanted to say I LOVER HER and that I will never let go of her no matter what happens. Regardless if she has problems of her own, this song will tell her that I’m just here by her side supporting her and give her the love and respect that she truly deserves. I remember that time when I did a foolish mistake that I almost lost my family (kids and my wife), that time when I looked at my wife crying every day and night, and it crushes my heart so bad that I wanted to reverse everything as quickly as I can. But of course, things are not that easy to say and undo; mistakes happens and I have to learn from it. May not be easy for me but I know that I have steps to take in order for me to reach that great feeling of Nirvana with my family. This song also reflects an idea that a man will never leave that one great woman of his life even though the whole world has taken its back on her. That the man will stay forever on her side and grow with her, die with her. I guess that’s the way I wanted to live right now, not with somebody else but only with my wife. It’s just awful to realize that even if she has the chance to see this, I don’t think it will change the reality that I broke her heart and her trust reason why I have to prove myself to her again. Somebody even told me that if I do really love my wife then I have to eat my pride, take the step #1 again and be patient enough to the consequences of my stupidity. I just hope that I still have the chance to win her back again not only as my wife in-title but as my wife as a whole. My best friend, my partner and my everything….

Just hold on wacky, we are getting there...
