I stared at codes all day today.

Haay.Deadlines.

Life is defined by deadlines.

"That's why it's called a deadline. If you don't meet it, you're dead."

I remembered the days. Haay.


Anyway, what's the diff? Pressure is slightly lighter. I am responsible for the things I do, unlike back at school were I have to meet expectations. What's on the line concerns me alone.

A Short Conversation

"Na-LSS na naman ako sa 'Coffee's for Closers' ng Fall Out Boy. Parang chant kasi, "Change will come." paulit-ulit."

"Hindi ako naniniwala diyan. Pero tama sila no? Sabi kasi, "I will never believe in anything again." Contradictory sa una nilang sinabi. May mga 'di talaga pinapalad, parang stagnant lang palagi.

"Everything is relative."

"Yes. I agree. Ito example. May dalawang nag-aaway. Sabi nung isa, "Rabbi, dapat hindi niya dinadaan yung mga tupa niya sa lupa ko! Nasisira yung mga pananim ko eh!" Sabi naman nung rabbi, "You're right." Tapos nag-comment yung isa, "Rabbi, hindi pwede. Yun lang ang daan papunta sa ilog! Mamamatay ang mga tupa ko kapag hindi ko doon dinaan!" Sabi nung rabbi, "You're right!" Tapos may nakikinig dito at nag-react, "Pero rabbi! Hindi pwedeng pareho silang tama!" Sabi nung rabbi, "You're right."

Haha. Everything is relative.

Another Entry

Despite the exhausting Ortigas trips and a whole day at work, I still find time to blog. Hehe. Blooging is my bestfriend...sort of a stress-relief.

I hate people who ask me for info pretending they're so busy that they have no time to find out for themselves. You will never be too busy to do something important. I hate the excuses given to me when I'm doing something important myself. We make do with what we have. If we have 50 things to do today, we'll find time to do all 50 things and finish it before today. I hate it most especially when the person fills my inbox with a lot of spam inquiries. Grrr.

Training is a little slow-paced. I thought that once I get a job, I'll be too busy to do anything else. It seems that I have a lot of catching up to do though. My supervisor was talking to me on my first day and I was unable to comprehend about half of what he said. Haha.

I'm just glad I learned a lot already. The system in the workplace is quite big compared to the school projects I used to do. I feel like I'm being overloaded with information most of the time, and everyone is smarter than me.

What's an FOB? (I thought Fall Out Boy? Haha) What's an ERP? What's an MMS? What's a POS? It feels so lowly not to know these common terms at the office.

Philogagging

Dimitri: If Atlas holds up the world, what holds up Atlas?
Tasso: Atlas stands on the back of a turtle.
Dimitri: But what does that turtle stand on?
Tasso: Another turtle.
Dimitri: And what does that turtle stand on?
Tasso: My dear Dimitri, its turtles all the way down!

A classic example of the chicken or the egg. What I learned is that you can never argue with philosophy. It's just one of those concepts that you'll never get a straight answer out of. Like the law of non-contradiction. I think the hardest thing for a judge is to have to decide on subjective matters. Of two sides, each seem to always have a point. We just have to learn how to weigh them. Either way, one side is always shortchanged.

I remembered ethics and our objective essays. Thankfully, I have talked to the pol-sci geek who explained to me what that is. Otherwise, I'd have no clue. The mere idea of essays bring to a CoE student a sense of "yes, 'di ko kailangang mag-aral!" Apparently not. If you get the "yes or no" question wrong, don't bother writing a long essay. Words don't count here. Common mistake.

Bloody

What an unfortunate event. The RC bottle just popped. Yeah, like that 70's band name from "Music & Lyrics". Then it disappeared from the limelight, but left a little finger all bloody. I'm not talking about my finger, but I did have to run to the nearest 'botika' to buy a gauze. Too bad 'Kristine, MD' isn't here to save the day. We had to ask Ate Adhe who was merely a visitor, to attend to the bleeding patient. Yeach. I just can't stand the bleeding wound. I don't want to be all nervous again, like that time when I was forced to inject some medicine to ate's arm. I didn't realize that it would be that soft, which made me punch a hole so deep it made me cringe. No more nervous breakdowns, too...embarassing.

Anyway, nothing much going on these days. Just a lot of preparation for Christmas. I don't even think my contributions are all that essential. I still have one window grill to paint tomorrow. Haha. My mother's twin even commented that it took me 4 years of engineering education to just engage in a painter's job. I won't even be here to see it finished. Finally, for the first time in my life, I can escape the unwanted visitors of Christmas Day. Though I hardly think that a trip to Ilocos gives me that privilege. Who knows? It might be worse there.

I gave up on reading the final book of the Twilight Saga. I just remembered my first reaction to Twilight, which isn't all positive. I'm just surprised that Ate liked it considering the other books she's more attuned to. It's not all bad, just, not all good. Mediocre actually. (Oh no, I think a lot of people will hate me for this). Haha, though I doubt that anyone will be reading this blog up to this point. A little boring is what this is.

I have to give up facebook and my addiction to Texas Hold 'Em, it's robbing me of precious time. This is probably my last blog this year, if I'm not able to access some internet at the province. I'm giving up my idle moments, and replacing it with pretending moments. Haha.
