It’s our last day in the company that’s 5-minute by bike from my apartment. The tribute continued – they still played all English music today. And I love most of those songs! I honestly think it was really thoughtful of them. Too sad I have no choice but to say good bye.
I’ve been working in the IT field for more than five years. Due to this challenging (I don’t want to use the word stressful) job, I don’t think I’d like to do programming until I retire! So, as early as now, I think it’s really crucial to think of future plans. To think and to [...]
One more day and I’ll be saying goodbye to the current company. One more day and I’ll be saying goodbye to casual clothes. Although majority of the Japanese don’t engage in chitchats during office hours or even lunch breaks, I still feel sad because I’ve become familiar with the faces in the office. I’ve become [...]
When some colleagues and I went to Sydney for a business trip, we stayed at Meriton’s Apartment along Pitt Street. We stayed at the 45th floor and the view from there was so amazing. Here’s the view from my bedroom – the whole of Darling Harbor: Too bad I only had a disposable camera, so [...]
In my country and I’m pretty sure it’s also the same with many other countries, it is very rare for poor to middle class people to get the compensation they should get in case of accidents. Watching so many movies, TV shows, and after I’ve read something like Chicago accident attorney, made me realize the [...]
Biwa-ko or Lake Biwa is the largest lake in Japan, and Omimaiko is one of places surrounding the lake. Together with some friends, I had the chance of having an overnight stay there. But, we didn’t go there for sightseeing. Anyway, it took us about an hour from Osaka to the Omimaiko station by the [...]
It was around the year 1997 when my father (Papa) brought home our family’s first computer. It was just an Intel 486 and the hard disk was just about 2GB. Installing an application would take about 30 minutes! But I was more than happy at that time because Papa also brought home a printer and [...]

As far as I can remember, Cagayan de Oro’s airport terminal had always been a “under-developed”. For years, the terminal wasn’t air-conditioned and baggage inspection had to be manual so going early was really a must. The check-in counters of the three airlines were detached from the terminal itself. When I went home last May, [...]
When I was a little girl, I usually played with girl toys but there were times when boy toys were more fun to play with. I was not really into car toys but I loved playing with marbles and water guns. So, when I went home last May, I wasn’t really surprised to see my [...]
It’s only been a month since I wrote about my current job. Now, I’m going to say goodbye again. Goodbye to comfort, goodbye to casual clothes. Last week, we were taken to an interview again for a bigger and well-known company. The project is very interesting because it’s also a Java project, but what I [...]
My little girl is turning four next month. At such a young age, she’s really taking care of her things and she seldom loses her toys. When she got a new bicycle, she just played with it inside our house. She has this doll that’s been with her for more than two years. But her [...]
