siebel 7.7

I wasn't able to blog for a long time coz I just came back from my 2-week Siebel 7.7 Core Developer Training. Yes, after supporting the application for almost 2 years I only had my training this month. Incidentally, the project also decided to drop the application. How nice noh? Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers, right? I appreciate it na rin. At least I have the training and the experience under my belt already. Now all I need is that certification. Another problem though, I'm not sure who would sponsor it. Hay buhay.

Another interesting thing about this training is that it was held in one of our offices in Ortigas. Ay, I love Ortigas! I just felt that the quality of my life would be much higher if I was assigned there. It's near QC (where I live). It's near my boyfriend's workplace (Boni) ... well at least more near than Makati. I can be there at the office in only 30 minutes!!! That includes the traffic and the time adjustments (rush hour or not). There are a lot of malls in the are and nice places to hang out like El Pueblo or Metrowalk. It's also a few minutes away from Eastwood. Basta I like it there. given a choice I would really want to be assigned there. Ortigas = Time to go to the gym. Ortigas = more dates. Ortigas = More sleep.

sick girl

I'm down with a flu for two days now. Hay ang hirap magkasakit! I woke up Monday morning feeling heavy and tired but being the stubborn - pa-independent girl that I am, I still went to work. I felt so dizzy on my way to Makati pero sige pa rin. I wanted to vomit sa MRT pero sige pa rin. I arrived at my workstation feeling more tired and heavy. Sobrang sakit ng joints and muscles ko. I tried eating breakfast so I can take my medicines but I cannot even finish a sandwich. That's when I decided (actually Chuck convinced me) to go home.

On my first day I spent the whole of it sleeping. I never thought it was possible to sleep the whole day even after a complete sleep the night before. Today is my second day and I spent most of it watching tv. I miss work na. I miss my team. I miss David and Popee’s mala Don’t Give Up On Us hiritan. Miss ko na kulitin si Pola and tuksuhin kay… sa maraming tao! Haha! Miss ko na si Gracey and utus utusan siya. Miss ko na si Crizzy and kulitin siya if magiging mommy na siya. Miss ko na si Mia dahil sa pagiging original mean girl niya. Hehe! Miss ko na ang mga regular chatmates ko.

Tomorrow back to work na ako! =)

the notebook

I watched The Notebook in HBO today. This is my second time to see it. The first was a year ago. It is one of the movies Chuck and I saw nung nagpapa-cute pa siya sa akin. =P Haaaayyyyyy… true love. Who would’ve thought na it’s possible. I never thought na it is possible. Hmmmm cheesy! Hehe!

"So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day..."

a day with my girls

I spent Saturday with my friends. We had lunch at CPK Shangri-la, coffee at Starbucks Greenhills and saw Don't Give Up On Us at Galleria. It was my second time to watch Don't Give Up On Us in one weekend. hehe! First time was Friday night with Chuck and the second time was today with my friends.

bbq chicken pizza at CPK Shangri-la.. yummy!

highlights

Highlights of my one week VL:

Monday

I finally saw Joja A. All the Way. We’ve been talking about it na kasi in the office pero di ko pa napapanood. Haha! Finally napanood ko na. Hilarious! If you haven’t heard about itor you haven’t seen it here’s a little background. Jojo A, the host, is Jojo Alejar. He’s an 80’s actor and a member of the very infamous That’s Entertainment of Kuya Germs. The show is trying to produce a Letterman – Leno format. Wala lang nakakatawa. Ang hirap i-explain. Nakakatawa siya kasi parang ang pathetic. They are trying too hard kasi eh. Anyway, malay natin in the future ma-achieve na nila yung goal nila to be the first show to have that kind of format here. Try to catch it at RJ TV 29. I’m not sure lang of the time. When I saw it kasi it was a re-run lang in the morning.

Tuesday

A day of reflection. I decided to just clear my mind this day. Di muna ako nag computer or nanood ng tv the whole morning. Ewan parang I felt the need to do that lang. I’ve been feeding my mind with too much junk na. I needed to be alone lang and reflect on my life and my faith. Okay siya. I think everyone should set aside a day na ganito. Puwedeng once a week or once a month. It’s a nice experience.

Wednesday

I saw a movie ALONE for the first time! Haha! It was a fun experience. At first it felt so pathetic but then I saw people around me watching the movie alone din. Okay lang pala. I was waiting for my boyfriend kasi to fetch me and bring me to word comm for my cell group meeting. We’re supposed to meet arounfd 730 pero I was at Shangrila na around 520. So, instead of checking out the stores for 2 hours (at mapagastos), I decided to watch a movie na lang. I saw Rumor Has It by the way. Ang funny and I like the message I got from it.

Thursday

Spent almost the whole day at 168 in Binondo with my cousin Nikki and my Ninang who’s here in Manila. Grabe she just came from a trip to Shanghai and I can’t believe we’re shopping again. I had a nice time naman. It was fun. Pag wala kasing guys na kasama fun talaga mag shop.

Friday

Spent the whole day at home lang. Late afternoon naman I prepared a dinner for my family and chuck. I made chicken casserole with brocolli. Yummy daw sabi nila. (dapat lang!) After that Chuck and I played mahjong with my Lola Mar and my mom. Haha! nakakatawa siya. Sobrang pressured sa game. It was his first time kasi and hirap na hirap siya mag multi tasking. We usually talk, watch tv and eat kasi while playing. Haha! Initiation sa mahjong culture namin.

Saturday

Hmmm… wala ako maalala. So I’m sure it’s just one of those days.


Sunday

It was Vinci’s baptism and I was chosen as one of the godparents. Sa Edsa Shrine yung baptism at 330. So since galing kaming church at 12, we stayed there na lang sa Galleria. Sobrang gusto ko manood ng laban ni Paquiao. Good thing may big screen sa food court ng Galle so I was able to watch it there. After the baptism Chuck and I went to a wake somewhere in Pasig. My dad’s friend died kasi. Finally Chuck met my college friends na.
