Driving Me Crazy

I still have no updated news about my previous post.

 

Okay, okay…

 

According to Book Six of the Philippine Labor Code (sorry, I am getting legal assistance on this):

 

“Art. 281. Probationary employment. Probationary employment shall not exceed six (6) months from the date the employee started working, unless it is covered by an apprenticeship agreement stipulating a longer period. The services of an employee who has been engaged on a probationary basis may be terminated for a just cause or when he fails to qualify as a regular employee in accordance with reasonable standards made known by the employer to the employee at the time of his engagement. An employee who is allowed to work after a probationary period shall be considered a regular employee.”

 

Whew! What a relief!

Today is the BIG day!

Hahaha. I am getting insane about this.

 

 

:: News Flash : August 27, 2006 8:30pm

My boss confirmed that my evaluation is yet to be consolidated by them. ^_^ 

I need to wait until end of this week. 

 

6th Month

It is exactly my 6th month here in KForce today. But my boss is giving me no signs that he is going invite me for a meeting to discuss my regularization. ;(

 

 

Eto, wait lang ako....

The sky is very dark outside. 4:30pm pa lang parang gabi na.

 

HUAAAAAAAAAAA-LLLLLLIIIIIIIIII

Wall-E is not only a love story. But I just fell in love with Wall-E and EVE as they go along on their adventure. The way Wall-E followed EVE in the space because he doesn’t want to lose the one and only friend he has… and … the way EVE cared for Wall-E because she also learned to love Wall-E … mapapa “awwww” ka talaga. Even if 90% of the movie has no dialogs, I still understood every movement and expression of the characters.

 

Here’s Ailyn and Jellypotpot with Wall-E and EVE 

Now here’s me and Jellypotpot 

 

But behind that love story is a very interesting discovery about human satisfaction. As we all know (from the trailer) that everyone left from earth because it was not anymore inhabitable, a lot of garbage and pollution. Everyone went to a place called "AXIOM" which is a large spaceship away from earth that symbolizes "pleasure and heavenly". When the film started, it was year 2700, They were almost 700 years living in AXIOM. Everyone is pampered by the robot, no suffering, coonflict or tension, just a place to relax, not anyone is obligated to work -- only the captain who gives announcements and commands to the robots. But this screnario makes it like a hell because everyone was like a living dead. The film even showed all the humans to very fat and overweight who can't even stand up with their own feet. Everyone is using a robotic bed that they used to move to one place to another. They only sleep, wake up, eat, chat, without asking what is happening around them and only rely on technology. People didn't even notice the stars in the sky.

 

When the captain discovered a plant is starting grow again on earth (because of EVE's exploration on earth), the captain became very interested and he eagerly rediscover what was life on earth really was. I guess "instant gratification" on food and other needs is not what people want. For me, life can be only be perfect when there exists both sadness and hapiness, success and failures, pain and glory... The story ended when they come back to earth even if the robots tried to stop them. They planted trees, experienced real joy and hapiness. Yun lang :D. Two thumbs up, Wall-E!

 

We went straight to Pizza Hut for our dinner. And since today is grocery day, I never failed to bring my grocery list prepared by DaddyDemz!

 

 

An Artwork

Here are pieces of wallpapers created by Brando (Leandro Losaria), one of the artistic members of DotNet Team. He put together this last night while getting some muse to sleep. This is actually a wallpaper. Hulaan nyo kung nasaan ako :D

 

And to all aspiring photographers who want to meet other KFORCE photographers and share interests with each other in photography, I think he is organizing a workshop here in 5^th floor. You know whom to ask if you are interested. :)

 

The Team (II)

Just after the party last Friday in our office, we had our team picture. Brando took advantage of the moment that everyone is present. The same picture was also sent to our UK clients. They were happy to see pictures of people whom they only talk through email/phone/IM.

 

One client said: “Salamat all!  It's magaling to put faces to names.” He even wrote tagalong words; I think he asked someone on-shore to translate his message.

 

SisDolls Party

SisDoll is celebrating her 40^th birthday, actually since yesterday pa, but the party is being done today. Her barkadas came at dinner time. Medyo umuulan nga, hindi pa ako nagsisimulang kumanta sa videoke eh umulan na hehehe.

 

She is my eldest sister.Marami akong kasalanan sa ate kong ito. Pero napapatawad nya pa din ako. Hehehhe.

 

 

Ate Doll while having her manicure and pedicure

 

"Happy Birthday, Mama!!"

Jelly and Jaimie did this for their mom.

 

Hindi mawawala ang kainan.

Her babies including me!

 

 

Party

Parang fiesta sa 5^th floor kahapon. My boss and a colleague, Dave, celebrated their birthday last July and my boss’ regularization as I have mentioned yesterday. People from 3^rd floor were also there.

 

Ang daming pagkain!

 

I did not eat that much, nahihiya pa kasi ako makigulo sa kanila. And it took me a lot of efforts to go on a second round, naiuna ko kasi ang desert :D nahuli yung kanin at ulam. Hahaha. And we had a great time.

 

 

50/50

The funniest thing I have ever heard today: “Yes!, four days na lang, Monday na ulet!” Well, syempre kabaligtaran yan ng gusto nya.  I think what funny is that the one who said this has a deadline this coming Monday :D

 

We have three celebrations for Friday: my SisDoll’s exact birthday, Dave & Sir Ted’s (belated) birthday bash and Sir Ted’s regularization celebration. Free dinner for tomorrow! Weeee.

 

 

KForce Moments

While browsing My Pictures folder in my computer, after I saved some stolen gif’s in the web for my project, I came to notice few pictures I saved there from different KForce Events since February 2008.

 

Here’s my very first picture with my Wraptrac buddies. I should have missed half of my life if I haven’t met these cool guys.

 

 

This is my very first summer outing with Willis Offshore – IT

 

This one was our memorable UNO cards game with SharePoint Team

 

Eto naman, may premonition na ata na malilipat ako ng Team. I was here with the DotNetSupport Team, some Wraptrac Team and some WOL Team.

 

Now here’s the farewell party of our dear Ms. Erienne. She resigned after our summer outing. I hear a lot of good things about her. I feel sorry I didn’t have that chance to know her more. But I still do see here along Ayala. Four time na kaming nagkakasalubungan :D I am happy because 2 out of our 4 encounters, she was the one who greeted me first. I have this attitude na malayo ang tingin kapag naglalakad. At saka hindi ako tumitingin sa mukha ng tao kaya hindi ko agad nakikila yung mga nakakasalubong ko.

 

I enjoy my work and the challenges that I face everyday. :D Kaunting tiis pa, malapit na ang sweldo :D

 

 

A Weekend With My Families

10:00am, Saturday, I was still on bed when I received text message from Raed asking if I would come to Infinity’s invitiation. I said yes but I got back to bed again :D. I woke up after an hour, Jewel texted me that they were already on their way to SM Bacoor. Waaa, hindi pa ako naliligo!

 

I was a bit late when I got to Infinity’s place in Bay Town. When I saw her house, naimagine ko yung bahay ko :D I would write an entry about it maybe next next month, kapag natapos na talaga sya.

 

The last time I saw my best La Salle buddies was when I had my despedida party. That was so sad. I’ll write about it some other time. We call ourselves as Angels. We even had our own mailing list in La Salle as angels@dasma.dlsu.edu.ph. Haha! Courtesy of our Network Administrator, Flooney. We had there our kulitan messages and exclusive tsismisan conversations. Hayyy, I miss the good old days... when I chose ITC to be my second home and still is. Even though we are separated by distance right now, I can still feel the comfort and happiness I felt before whenever I am with them.

 

 

Only Jewel, Infinity, Gabu(Lone's son), Lone, Polin (Jewel's daughter), Raed and me were present.

 

Our favorite foods were served, prepared by Infinity’s Mom. She already know what are our favorites! She prepared Rellenong Alimasag on Tahong’s Shell, Sinigang na Hipon, Crispy Pata (Jewel’s best friend), Adobong Tahong, and Fried Chicken just for us. Bundat kami pagkatapos. Paguwi namin, may pabaon pa si Daddy.

 

Polin and Gabu are my Inaanaks.

 

Infinity, one of my best buddies! Love ko yan.

 

Here are other pictures from Infinity's camera. Ganda talaga ng bahay ni Infinity sa Baytown

 

Snowbell, Flooney and Prudence weren’t there.  I hope we will see each other next time.

Sunday, after our Church service, we went to SM Bacoor. And daming tao. Nagkayayaan lang kanina. SHopping shopping.

 

We ended up at the grocery. Birthday kasi ni SisDoll sa August 15. We'll celebrate it the next day.

That was my weekend. I am having conversation with Avalanche right now at YM. Kamustahan lang at sumbong to the max. :D

Where Are The Photos Gone?

I want to start this entry by asking, “Where are the photos gone?” I remember Multiply has this advisory that they were going to delete links of the picture with higher resolutions but not the posted picture in the site. It was like this before, when you insert a picture in your blog, it automatically resizes the picture with higher resolution and the picture becomes clickable to allow viewing the actual size. They store it in some place. But now, these zoom-in versions will only be available in 30 days, after that goodbye pictures. I don’t understand why my blogs photos were gone :(

 

“I just want my pictures back!”

 

Anyway, enough of that. It is Friday again!!! Woohoo! For a typical employee like me who works from Monday to Friday, eh naka boundary na ika nga! Here’s another weekend to enjoy. Tomorrow I will be seeing my friends from La Salle. Infinity invited us in her new house in Bacoor and she is also having a welcome party as well because she just came from England few weeks ago. Of course, grocery day will be moved to Sunday.

 

“Ooops, it’s time to work!”

 

I need to finish tons of work today. It makes me feel proud, confident and worthy. AND working alone really requires extra miles of effort in order to achieve the goals. So help me God.

 

Bye for now. Ciao Ciao Ciao!

 

A Very Special Love

This movie is very fun to watch. Blockbuster talaga sa SM Bacoor! I caught this movie on a rainy afternoon last Sunday before going to the supermarket. Kaya siguro ako lalong nagkasakit. When I came to the ticket booth, SUS! Parang pila sa NFA rice sa sobrang haba. Most of the watchers were teen barkadas, lovers, GrandPas & GrandMas and Mom & Dad with their kids because it has a GP rating.

 

I am a fan of John Lloyd Cruz even from his Tabing Ilog days. College pa ako non :D Iniimagine ko pa noon ako si Eds hahahahaha! Baliw!

 

Super nakakaaliw yung movie, especially the sun dance. Naiyak din ako doon sa scene na nagsusumbong si John Lloyd sa nanay nya. Also, young professionals would easily relate to the movie because it was set in a dynamic office environment and would reflect the usual office scenarios. GO watch the movie and expect to hear ‘kilig screech’ from ladies. :D Nakakatawa nga kasi yung katabi ko eh mga Moms, kinikilig din sila. Hahaha. Aside from the “Boss-Secretary” love angle, there were also other themes in the movie that added up to the spice. Even Rowell Santiago did a pretty great job as the villain in the story. Everyone who came out from the cinema was all with smiles in their faces kasi hindi nasayang yung P120.00 :D

 

Friday na!

Days go by very fast; before you know it… it’s already Friday! It is another night to relax. I wish we had a  Friday-Party @ the office, all expense paid by the company @_@ my wild imagination. Hehehe. Yun bang kahit sa office lang… Why not even just an hour to bring all the employees to gather altogether and have some fun after a stressful week at work. Diba parang something to look forward to every Friday? :D

 

Tomorrow is Grocery Day! SM Supermarket/Hypermarket restores their grocery supplies during this day. Fruits and vegetables are fresh, new products are displayed. So tomorrow is really a good time to review my grocery list and visit the supermarket. :)
