recovering

i was down with flu since tuesday night. mom's been sick, too. i think i got this from her. she showed symptoms of cough, colds and slight fever since last sunday. i even bought her meds last monday. i just didn't realize that it will be very quick to transfer to me. in effect, i was bedridden for a few days because of fever. i also got cough and colds. so ayun, i was supposed to start my new raket last thursday but unfortunately, may sakit ng ako kaya d kinaya ng powers ko. ngayon lang umayos ang pakiramdam ko pero inuubo at sinisipon pa rin. medyo nahihilo pa rin. i hope i could get back to work on monday.

i've got a maternity shoot for rio on sept 4. pero di pa ako ready kse nga nagkasakit ako. sana ok ung kalabasan ng shoot kse buena mano na naman ang bakla at pandagdag din sa folio ko. hehehe...

updates

it's been almost a month since my last post. i actually had a lot of time to write a post but i don't feel like it. to be honest, i was fighting depression. yeah, i've been unemployed for almost 3 months right now. i applied for a lot of posts but to no avail. thanks to the bills, they give me a lot of stress. kept myself busy so i will not succumb to any depression. so, what was i up to the past few weeks? i discovered a few things. one, that i can actually photoshop. not only photo editing. two, i went back to playing my guitar. i found out that i can actually do fingerpicking with the help of youtube and tablatures available on the web. thanks to sungha jung, i can now play my favorite song, moonriver. i am now learning canon in d. hmmm... what else? i now have a part time online job. it does not pay as much as i earn before but it will still pay the bills and i am thankful for that. i am also finishing my certification for kgb. not the russian thing. it's another online job. i hope i pass it. it will sure add up to whatever i will earn from the other part time job i have. heard from a friend that there is a good paying job for ppcs in singapore. i hope i get that soon. nga pala, i didn't get the raket i was supposed to do last week. they wanted a videographer for the event and unfortunately, di pwede ung highschool friend ko. so, i ended up giving it up. medyo kumplikado rin kse ung set up nila e. someone else is organizing the event. ung ex daw nung asawa so i thought na wag na lang. so, that's it pancit. got to go now. guitar practice time. good night everyone! :)

p.s. a new banner has been on my list for 2 months now but too busy with a few things. i hope i get this done soon. :)

raket

rio asked me to cover her nephew's baptism and first birthday celebration next month. lucky me, just when i needed it the most. an hour ago, i was chatting with my high school friend who asked me to cover her wedding in december. while a previous officemate sent me a message in facebook asking me if i can also cover her wedding next year. great. this is just so great. i know these are not much compared to what i was getting when i am still employed but hey, i hope this is the start of something really fruitful. all i have to do is to be thankful. :)

i'm lost can someone please find me.

july

july na pala. it was an arduous june for me. not physically, kasi wala naman talaga akong ginagawa. mas nakaka-stress kse ung walang ginagawa at naghihintay for something na hindi mo naman alam kung ano. i hope i finally get an answer to all of my questions para maka-move on na ako at makapag-job hunting na ulit ng bonggang-bongga.

3 weeks

it's exactly 3 weeks since i came back from china and up until now wala pa rin akong trabaho. i still don't have the heart to break the bad news to my mom that i am unemployed. she hesitantly supported my decision to leave my previous company to go to china but she still did. i know she deserves to know the truth but i don't want her to worry for now because eventually, i will need to tell her. hindi naman ako nagpapabaya, i am actively looking for a job and hopefully someone will employ me soon. i am crossing my fingers.

lazy sunday

sent a few applications today. i'm gonna try my luck in SG with a friend.

-------------------

i brought up to my mom that i would like to study again. maybe web design. since, i like staring at my computer a lot perhaps this will be something that i will be good at.

a few days back, i looked for graphic design schools and found out that this is not something cheap. i inquired at first academy of computer arts and i was so shocked at how much the fees were. web design is a whopping 50,400 pesos for a total of 184 hours while print media arts cost 58k. i told my mom about it and it seems that she is ok with it. buti pa ang nanay maraming pera. hehehe! i am also considering philippine center for creative imaging. they have short courses for web design for less than 10k. this is only a 2 day seminar though. medyo malayo lang ang location nila kse nasa pasong tamo pa sila. i also checked on informatics' courses but i didn't find web design in their list. sana lang matuloy to. pero bago to kailangan ko munang makakuha ng trabaho para may maipang-tustos ako. nagloloko na naman ang sun broadband ko. sana bukas mapalitan na kita.

--------------------

nga pala, nagloloko rin ang kuryente namin. kumikislap-kislap ang ilaw namin. so, i called meralco earlier to have it checked. sabi nung girl na sumagot within tonight daw pupuntahan. i called ng mga 8pm sabi within 2-4 hours daw e 11pm na wala pa. tapos nakakandado na rin ung gate nung lola ko kung saan nakalagay ung kuntador ng kuryente kaya kahit pumunta sila wala na rin silang magagawa. so ayun we decided na matulog na. actually, ang nanay lang ang natulog kse ako eto blogging. as i am typing this entry, humihina pa rin ung kuryente namin kse humihina ung ikot ng electric fan dito sa tabi ko. nagshut down nga pala ung ilaw at electric fan namin kanina buti na lang patay ung tv namin. kanina lang i checked my phone may 2 missed calls baka ung technician ng meralco. sana bukas ng umaga na lang sila bumalik para magawa ung kuryente namin.

cover letter

one thing i hate about job applications is writing a cover letter. that is why i prefer walk in applications because all i have to do is show up and give my resume to the company and that's it. but here i am, writing cover letters for my job application. oh well, the things you would do just to get a job. :D

------------------

i read a tweet from carmen soo's twitter acct that made me think. i might be looking for something that is already in front of me. i hope i finally realize and find it. maybe then, i would be happy and contented.

keeping the faith

i am not sure what the future holds for me but i am glad i took chances whenever i get to have one. i might have failed a lot of times but at least i learned. i've always felt that i am a mediocre because i was never good enough in whatever i get myself into. in the 31 years of my existence, i still can't find my niche and i am not sure anymore what i want. i just pray that the good Lord will guide me and finally find my small place in this world.

interview ulit

another interview scheduled tomorrow. i really hope i get a new job na. kse hindi makakapaghintay ang monthly bills. hehehe...

hoping to work again

just finished my interview with a client half an hour ago. i'd like to think that it went well because he seemed pleased with my answers during the interview and asked me the time i prefer to work before we ended. i hope it's a good sign. by the way, i need to get a new ISP. my connection is not as reliable as before. anyway, i am hoping that i get this job and get over this boredom soon. most importantly, i get to pay our bills by next month. wish me luck kids.

under construction

hey. i am still tweaking my blog's lay out so please bear with me. thanks. :)

reunion with ghee

new layout

i just found out that blogger is offering new blog designs and decided to try it out out of boredom. will try to tweak it more in the next few days.

china

photo blog of my trip to south china. (dongguan, xiamen and guangzhou)

permanent day off

today, i have decided to resign from work. i never thought that i will be doing this sooner. i just had no choice. i asked permission to go on leave because i am going to china. unfortunately, my leave was disapproved. i don't know what God is telling me but i trust that this has a better purpose. perhaps, it's really time to move on. alam kong hindi naman kme papabayaan ni Lord as always. so wish me luck kids. :)

happy easter!

the Lord has risen! Allelujah!

just wanted to share one of my favorite psalms. it is in tagalog though. i also found a link in youtube, if you are interested click here. below are the lyrics:

Koro: Ito ang araw na ginawa ng Panginoon;

Tayo’y magsaya at magalak!

(ulitin koro muli)

Magpasalamat kayo sa Panginoon,
Butihin S’ya, Kanyang gawa’y walang hanggan.
Sabihin ng sambayanan ng Isarael,
“Walang hanggan, Kanyang awa!” (Koro)

Kanang kamay ng Diyos sa ‘ki’y humango.
Ang bisig N’ya sa ‘kin ang tagapagtanggol.
Ako’y hindi mapapahamak kailanman.
Ipahahayag ko l’walhati N’ya (Koro)

Ang aking Panginoon, moog at buhay.
S’ya ang batong tinangihan ng tagapagtayo.
Kahanga-hanga sa aming mga mata,
Gawain N’ya; Purihin S’ya! (Koro)

Koro: Ito ang araw na ginawa ng Panginoon;

Tayo’y magsaya at magalak!

Koda: Ito ang araw na ginawa ng Panginoon;

Tayo’y magsaya at magalak!

feisty palm sunday

my mom and i went to antipolo cathedral to attend mass and on our way there, the jeepney that we were riding had an accident. it bumped into another jeepney. fortunately, no one got hurt.

after the mass, we usually go to SM Taytay to have our lunch and do window shopping. we watched book of eli after eating our lunch at mcdonalds. and i think my mom got bored. the movie was ok. well, maybe not my type that is why.

i almost got into a fight with the jeepney driver on our way back because he did not give us our change. he made us pay more than we usually pay from SM Taytay to Angono. for some reason, i had to answer back. my mom just asked me to shut up and let it be. anyway, its just 2 pesos. but still i feel that it was not right.

another close encounter with the tricycle driver nung pag-uwi ko. i left mom sa palengke kse bibili pa sya ng lulutuing ulam so i went ahead. ewan ko ba kung bakit nakaka-irita ang mga drivers ngayong araw na to. blocked kse ung area namin so hindi sya makakatuloy. i just asked him to go until dun sa area na pwedeng daanan nya. and he is so irritable to ask "saan ba talaga?" e hello, kung wala akong dalang groceries i should have walked na lang. kainis.


-------------------

mom's eye condition is getting worst and it just sad that i don't have enough money to have her treated by the best opthalmologist. hayz...

-------------------

i need to start earning more than i am right now and i have to work double/triple hard. i need to start shifting careers. and i feel it should be now. so wish me luck kids.
