EK

Tomorrow is a legal holiday here in Pinas in commemoration of the edsa revolution. Im still in the office because me and my colleagues planned to overnight at my boss' condo in the vicinity. We'll be having a company outing tomorrow at enchanted kingdom. Haha. It's been a long time since ive been there. I think there are more rides now than 7 years ago. Oh my... it's been that long. Anyay, tonight we'll be on a drinking spree courtesy of my boss jaime. this is going to be a long night for me, P, K and PZ. :D

Im getting addicted to this new game in warcraft. It's called dotA All Stars. Unlike the usual warcraft army game, this one only uses heroes. So this means you dont have to micromanage your troops because you'll only be handling one character. You can only choose from 2 teams: Undead and NightElf. Besides your hero, you'll get the help of troops but you cannot control them. Technique is to follow where the troops go. Each kill will earn you gold. You can buy items and recipes from your base. Some of my ofcmates are not so good in playing wc but when they played dota, i think everyone was on the same level of gaming. we're all noobs. Hahaha. In time ill get the hang of it and play better.

HH's culinary classes started this week. We havent spent a lot of time together lately. His classes start in the afternoon. He cant pick me up anymore because it ends late. Few days ago, I was feeling so lonely and neglected that i wanted us to break up just because we cant see each other as much as we used to and this setup will last for a whole year. Ok im really stupid. Good thing HH knew perfectly how to handle my mood swing. HH seems to be enjoying his culinary classes so much that every time we talk through chat, he'd tell me he's reviewing his lessons for the day. Hmmm... He doesnt even review during exams when he was still in college! Ok, maybe HH found something that he really enjoys, not to mention that his tuition is like 200K a year with 3x a week class. Pretty expensive to learn cooking! So that must be the reason why he wants to excel in his culinary class... because he didnt want to waste what he's paying for. Hahaha. Imagine, my tuition in UP for 4 years (semestral) is just 1/4 of that amount. I could send 4 UP students to school for 4 years with the same amount!

Anyway, I also want to cook for a living. I know my current field is not at all related to food. If I will be given a chance to study again, ill probably take culinary. Maybe ill study culinary when i get tired of programming. Hmmm... not a bad career move isnt it?!

I just finished my development tasks for my U.S. based project on SAP Enterprise Portal. Finally im done with it and survived a whole week without Yves' help. Btw, Yves used to own this project and when he left, he turned over this project to me. We used to be 3 developers in this project. Yves left and the other one is leaving next week. So this means i solely own the project now and will be responsible for all development tasks for the next weeks/months. =(

Just what I thought





Your Dominant Intelligence is Spatial Intelligence



You've got a good sense of space and how the world around you looks.
You can close your eyes and "see" images. You have innate artistic talent.
An eye for color and shapes, you're also a natural designer.
Since you think in pictures, visual aids and demonstartions help you learn best.

You would make a good navigator, sculptor, visual artist, inventor, architect, interior designer, or engineer.

Constantine

It's another friday. Im going out tonight but im not so sure yet where to go. My officemates want to go out tonight but somebody wants to date me. Hmmm... I dont know where to go.

One of my workmates, who incidentally is the closest to me, has resigned. Today is his last day. That's also the reason why he wants us to go out tonight. Since im the closest to him, he turned over his projects to me. =( i kept complaining all the time he gave me more work. haha. anyway, this is going to be one tough time for me. i hate individual projects! ill be working on this SAP thingy alone starting next month. I havent heard of any hiring for this project so that means it will really be a solo project. alone again. =(

I think i forgot to blog about how i have been spending friday nights this month. First friday of February, we went go carting at speedzone in The Fort. It was my first time to drive a go cart. It was absolutely awesome. I dont drive that fast because im scared to get into an accident but my companions, which are my workmates, were really into drag racing. there were only 3 of us who were ladies and the rest were guys. they kept telling us ladies that we're just road barriers to them. hahaha. at least we knew how to drive! It was worth 600pesos for 12minutes. Pretty expensive! But i absolutely guarantee that carting will take all your stress away. Second friday of Feb was spent having dinner at Banana Leaf, bowling at Coronado Lanes and having coffee at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf with my officemates. We saw Efren Bata Reyes at the nearby billiard hall. Im not so good in bowling either.

My Valentine

For weeks now, I have been trying to avoid blogging. It's just that every time i blog, i always think about the architect whom i am really trying to get out of my head. It has been an architect-free year for me since 2005 started. We havent talked, texted or communicated in any way since last december. Honestly, a part of me is still sad for losing the architect.

Getting over someone has different stages: acceptance, forgiveness, letting go, moving on. Im at the acceptance stage still. Not talking to the architect has definitely helped me. Every night i pray to god that he'll be happy so that he wont bother me any more and hope that our paths dont meet again while i am still in the process of getting over him. I am hoping that he finds the right person for him. Maybe someone who can love him more than I have loved him.

I wonder how other people spent their valentine's day with all the bombings?! I was scared to hear the news especially that I work in makati and the bombing happened in the same area. That explains why it was ultra, mega annoyingly traffic yesterday in De La Costa and Buendia! Besides the fact that it's valentine's day and it's makati, the traffic was unsual. As in not moving at all!

SAP

The new project im working at is sucking my brain dry. The project per se is not that hard but the new set of API's im working on is so unfamiliar to me that i spend 70% of my time reading and finding what i need from forums and the other 30% is left for programming. I have a new favorite website for my project... http://forums.sdn.sap.com/. yep, im doing some sap frontend work.

Im suffering from extreme headache. I think im developing migrane because of this %!&$@(*# project. GGgggrrrrrr....
