I was employed in a staffing company before coming to Japan. Because of that, I was assigned from one company to another. I did C++ for a few months, then Java, and so on. It was hard, yet exciting to adjust to a new project, new work environment, new office mates. I got used to [...]
The photo above best describes how I feel at this moment. It must be the stress I feel at work and in my daily life. I have to look on the bright side. After all, God has always been good to me.
So, today is my birthday! However, this might be a sign of aging because I don’t feel excited at all. Instead, I feel so sick, thanks to the flu that I got a few days before I came back from the Philippines. I wanted to go to church and attend mass. I wanted to at [...]
I think I have been a software developer far too long. I’ve been thinking quite a lot lately what I want to do five years from now. Clearly, I don’t see myself still a programmer. Should I continue being in IT, either I become more technically skilled, or manage people. A colleague who is much [...]
Ten years since I got out of the university, yet I still have nothing to call something my own. Being the family’s sole breadwinner is no joke at all. I always have my hands full, putting mysef last. But I know someday that I will have those things that I often look so dreamily in [...]
I like to keep things even if they don’t appear to be very important. Before I left home to attend a university in Cebu, all my high school stuffs were intact. My notebooks and textbooks were all in my cabinet. Even those post-its and notes given to me by my classmates during retreats. I was [...]
I’ve always dreamt of buying a car. It’s not really just for the sake of having one or something because honestly, I still cannot afford to buy one. I want just wish for an air-conditioned vehicle for my daughter. Her school is about an hour jeepney ride from our house. On the way home, she [...]
I do love what I’m doing right now, being in software development and stuff. But I can’t remain a programmer until I retire! Sometimes, I observe what my managers are doing, study their facial expressions, trying to decide if they are happy or not. I shouldn’t go backwards, right? They do seem to enjoy their [...]
March 30, 2009. With only an 18-kg check-in luggage and a handcarry bag, I underwent a not so smooth trip to Singapore. Yes, I’ve been here for a year already! I should be glad. I’ve been planning to write a post especially for today, perhaps about Singapore. But nope. As I searched for a good [...]
I’ve been ranting for quite sometime now how tiring it is to move out, that I don’t really like the new place, etc. But I miss my old room. Though I’m lovin’ the new one more and more Here’s my old room just before I started packing. Notice how low the ceiling is. Above is [...]
It’s really uncomfortable being caught up in a conversation about something I’m not familiar with. Like the time when my friends compared each other’s auto insurance quote, or the time when they talked about investments. Maybe it’s about time to educate myself on financial matter. I have always wanted to work for a financial company [...]
My phone rang right after the alarm went off. It was my mother. She doesn’t normally call me early in the morning so I knew that she called to deliver another sad news. Nanay Soling, my mother’s aunt passed away. She was 80. I knew this was coming because she’d been sick a lot lately, [...]
