Yes, it's true! I have already resigned from JairoSolutions after more than a year of working but it doesn't mean I don't love this company anymore. I've gained a lot of experiences, made a lot of friends, had crushes (chuckles) and of course found my best friend.

It was the first company that I applied for a job (after graduating from college) and was immediately accepted. So when you say "first" - it will always have a placed here in my heart. I may have cried a lot of tears on how demanding the work was, the pressure I've got from our boss and clients, the struggling nightshift and other reasons I have but everything is fine because I've learned a lot.

Anyway, I made this simple video as a remembrance. It is out from the compilation of pictures I've got since August 2008 - September 2009. Background music is "Moment of Truth" by FM Static. It's one of my favorite songs and I just think it's apt for this video. Hehe. Hope you will like it. Thanks!



P.S. To be honest, it took me so much time to finish this. Gosssshhh.. My computer always freezes so I have to do the editing process again but it's worth it. I love my work. Hahaha.. Thank you very much also to George Tran for inspiring me to create a video. :) Check out also JairoSolution's blog , I've made a few posts there (back then).

I'm struggling to sleep right now. This is actually because of getting used to not sleeping during night time for a year with my previous work. I am still adjusting my body. But aside from that, my eyes and mind become wide awake also because of an issue that came up few hours ago. Good thing, it has been fixed already and we have averted a major crisis. Hehehehehe... (if you ask, what is it - something related to work)

Anyways, just would like to utilize my time while I am not yet sleepy - quick blog update. Check out this really cooooooooooooool video. You will be mesmerized with how talented these Voca People are. As it is said, "What you are about to hear is pure human vocals - NO instruments, NO sound effects - PURE, LIVE - the VOCA PEOPLE"




Hope you will love the video as much as I do. Thanks James for sharing this. Off to bed now! Night, night! :)

My mom went to Manila for a seminar/activity about their organization. She is actually a member of Mother Ignacia Healing Ministry. She will be staying there for 10 days. And guess what? This is the 2nd day that she's not around and I am already struggling.

I have to do all the household chores and attend to my sick father and brothers and at the same time work. Gooosssshhh, it gets harder if I am not working homebased. :(

To be honest, it's my fear when my Mom will not be really around (if that time comes). I guess I have to prepare for this. I don't have any other person to depend to. I can hire someone (when I have more money) to do the household chores or any but it's hard to find someone who will be like my Mom whose dedication and love to us is beyond compare. Huhuhuhu...

Anyway, 8 more days! I know I can do this. I am hoping my mind is always in the right mood also so that I can easily absorb or digest these nose bleeding tasks I have. Hmmnn.. I have to be always at my best. AJA! Please continue to pray for us always ha.

P.S Thank you by the way to Rose and Didoy for helping me. You have not only made me happy but also my mom. :)

As I checked my Google Adsense account yesterday, I was so shocked to see that my total Google Adsense Earnings has changed. As I remember, I only have 15 dollars left to reach the minimum pay-out ($100) but now, what happened? See image below:

(just click to view large image)

The only thing that comes in my mind was, I just integrated Google Analytics application into my Google Adsense account. And I believe it doesn't have something to do with the dropping right?

So I've tried checking some links where I could contact Google about this problem. And I've found out that it is not only I who is experiencing this weird changed on our total earnings but also these guys from Adsense Help forum. Whew! I am a bit relieved. I just hope my real earnings will be back the soonest so that I could withdraw the money by next month and at least reduce my payables. Darn! Economy tanks and life is getting so hard nowadays especially if you are the only one working. I reallly need to find other ways to earn and provide the needs of my family. I am not just a regular single you know.

Anyway enough of that one. Google hasn't released any official statement about this problem yet so stay tune for updates. But if you do first find the answer to Why our Google Adsense total earnings has changed, please drop the link immediately here so that we will all be enlighten and relieve to this Adsense earnings problem. Okidokies? Thanks ahead.

Good to be back blogging! I miss you guys.

Mother’s Day is near. Have you already decided a gift for your mom? Well just don’t forget to greet them and that would be enough. But to really make your mom happy and be surprise, why don’t you give them something worth to remember. I am sure there are a lot of things you can give your mom, such as art and crafts, incense, scents, perfume and many more.

If you are buying fragrances, please be aware of the meaning behind each scent. It is helpful to know these things so that you can make a precious, personal and useful gift for Mother’s Day even if it was a cheap perfume that wouldn’t matter anymore. It would be of great help also to have a variety of choices, so that you can buy the perfect perfume for your mom.

Well if you have the budget and like to impress a little on your mom, there are many available designer perfume that you could buy. Well of course, your mom will definitely love it. But then again, remembering your mom on a Mother’s Day does not always mean buying something for them. A greeting and smile perhaps is ok. But a time with your mom, being with her and giving her your full attention on Mother’s Day is best gift that you can give to her.

Since I got promoted, my life has been soooooooo busy - ever! Most of the time, I have to extend my hours of duty just to catch up the tasks I have. (Overtime to the highest level, take note: graveyard shift pa iyan). So I can be up from 10pm to 7pm at most. (Amazing!). Well aside from the new position I also have to attend the Business Development and Business Analysis.

And if I wouldn't do Overtimes, I will just be the only one who will suffer. Imagine the everyday deadline and if you can't meet that - it will just pile up and the delivery of the projects will be compromised. You can't afford to have the client hanging, you know.

So I have to attend different meetings, analyze the client's business requirements and discuss them to our CEO and software developers, prepare different collaboration tools, take note of the different action items and everything about Technical Project Management. And I am handling like 6 new and priority #1 projects with different software developers. Different people with different attitude to adjust (client and our own resources) - so it is really tough and challenging! Can you imagine that? On the first few days of my new position, I had to those things already.

But now, after a month I believe I am able to manage. The hard part is really when you are starting especially on the business analysis side. Like our CEO has always said, understanding the client's requirement solves half of the problem already.

And I also realized that I should not only Work Hard but also Work Smart. My bestfriend would always tell me to get enough sleep, refrain from doing overtimes and watch my health. And work just occupies my mind sooooooo much even on my dreams. It's like those College days where I am also dreaming of coding or doing a program. (Toinks!) I guess this is just because I LOVE MY WORK so much that I am more than willing to do extra mile. Watchathink?

Last March 30, 2009 was my 2*th birthday. And though I don't have much mooooonies that time to treat you guys still I am so happy because of the many wonderful things/events and blessings/gifts that I received. Domo arigato gozaimasu! ;)

Infact before my birthday, there were a lot of suprises that had happened. Le'mme share them to you...

Rose and I always meet at St. Jude every 4:30pm to attend the mass celebration. And while I was waiting for her to arrive, two people just sat beside me and I am surprised to see that Grace and Rap were there. I am just so touched when they greeted me. (chuckles) And at our back, we saw Roy also. You know what, it is just so nice when the people important to you are gathered in His house. I remember during my High School days, our sister-in-charge (a nun) would always tell us about finding your partner in a communion rail. The guy whom you've found in a church is really different to the guy whom you've found in a bar or any other place.

Moving forward, after the mass celebration we've talked for a while and decided to head on to where we are supposed to be going. They are to NCCC mall and Rose and I have to meet someone. But while crossing the street, I was also surprised to see someone who is also important in my life with Au2x. And he is no other than Ex. I don't know how to describe what I am feeling but I am just so happy and would really like to grab the opportunity to be with him. There was an incident that had happened to us before and I wanted to make it up. Seeing him, I remember our good times and bad times... (chuckles)

And so with laughing and all that stuff, we've finally decided to all go to NCCC Mall. Yosh! I cracked some jokes and was really glad to see him smile and laugh. I missed that you know... And he said, I havent changed - still the same though getting fat and old? Hahahahaha...And when we we're tired and hungry we've decided to eat at Penongs. I was again suprised when Grace and Rap handed me a new bag. It was so sweet of them...Also, I am not sure who sponsored the food that we ate but I am just so thankful. Hehehehee.. The money I had that time was only 100 pesos.

It was really a good night and I will never forget it. I also love the fact that Rose was with me that time. And during my birthday - it was a time for my family and Rose also gave me special gift and I really like it. She knows my fit and taste so well. Thanks Rose!

And oh, I am also promoted sa work. It was a double blessing - regular sa work and promoted also. I am just waiting for the translation of numbers for these (salary increase..ehehehheeh). Great news isn't it? Well, you have all the reasons to be happy.... Happy Beeeeerday to meeeeeeeeeee! (oist, there was no beer that time huh!)

Two days to go and it will be April! Whew! I have to make up my posts and write down the different things that had happened to me for this month. (They have to be included in this blog, they are great memories. And when I grow old, I love to read them again and remember....)

First things first, I was with Grace when she celebrated her birthday. (For the information of everyone she is Girlopinion - a lady who is a proof to the famous cliché "Small but Terrible"). And last March 1, she turned 21. Happy Birthday Grace! Love you soooo much...

It's not only me who graced the said event but also Dennis, Rap, Kathy, Roy, Au2x, Kevin and some of her high school friends, relatives and of course her own family. Check out our photos below:

Me (center) with the potential love team (Au2x and Roy)

Dennis, Grace, Kathy

And pictures below, I am with Kevin(left) and Dennis (right). Look like a couple? Hehehehe

P.S. Memorable din ang birthday celebration na ito kasi it was our first year after graduation, may mga work na kami. Sayang nga lang nuon, di ako nakapunta sa birthday ni Rap (Gracie's bf) sa Isla Reta. Hehehehhee...Anyways, marami pa akong gustong sabihin pero check out niyo nlang sometime in my Food and Travel blog. I will upload more pics there and share the experience I've had sa Mergrande Beach Resort. Sana lagi akong inspired magblog noh? Para always updated ang mga blogs ko. Hehehehee...

It's Summer here in the Philippines and I can really feel the heat. In times like these, electric fans and aircon are really a great help. But sad to say, we only have electric fans at home so I have to bear this.

I feel like taking a bath again or lying in a bath tub while blogging. It's really hot in here! Oh gosssh...Maybe if I leave in Arizona homes and it is 80 degrees; I wouldn't be able to sustain it. Or if I? You would probably see me always in beaches. Whew!

Talking about beaches, let’s go and have outings nah! Let’s enjoy Summer! Party!

Last night, I watched a Love Story movie commended by Tino. It was Nights in Rondanthe - a 2008 movie of Richard Gere (my crush) and Diane Lane. You know what, Richard Gere is already 59 yet he still looks awesome in this movie. More appealing and still oozing with sex appeal. I guess this tagline on American Gigolo "He leaves women feeling more alive than they've ever felt before" is really true. Watcha think?


Anyway, take a look at the plot. You might would want to watch this movie also:

While picking up his son and daughter for a weekend visit, Jack (Christopher Meloni) tells his estranged wife Adrienne (Diane Lane) that he wants to move back home. Adrienne says she needs time and space to think. It is made clear that Jack left his family for another woman.

Adrienne drives to Rodanthe, North Carolina to a friend's bed and breakfast for the weekend. The house is rustic, romantic and right on the beach.

There is only one guest for the weekend, Paul (Richard Gere), a surgeon who arrives at the inn with his own emotional baggage. He has flashbacks of a surgery which ended tragically. The family of the patient, who live in Rodanthe, is suing him.

A storm moves in and the two team up to protect the inn. They dine together, share stories and eventually turn to each other for emotional comfort. A tender romance starts. With Adrienne’s help, Paul faces the patient’s family and in doing so faces his own pain.

Paul leaves Rodanthe to fly to South America, where his estranged son Mark (James Franco) lives and practices medicine. Paul carries guilt for passing up a relationship with his son in favor of his career.

During their separation, Adrienne and Paul exchange letters, longing to be with each other....

What happen next? Better watch it!

P.S. I intentionally look for a movie that would really make me cry because I want to ease this loneliness that I am feeling. Oh gosshh, when you are single and you long for someone...(Sighed) Thanks to Tino for sharing some of his movies to me especially Nights in Rondanthe. This is a good remembrance also. (He is heading for a greener pasture actually) Good luck and God bless you!
