Im back from my 5 day vacation and I hardly felt it. It was raining the whole time and I still have this untolerable cough. So much for Paid Time Offs.

I've been under the weather for days now...Its rainy season here in phil, sniff sniff..

It's election day here in the Phil. Who will win President? I have my bets, unfortunately I can't vote, since I wasn't able to register.

All I can say is Vote anyone of the candidates for President EXCEPT F.P.J.! For goodness sake don't let him run our country.

What is it with "Four Seasons" Del Monte juice? I'm getting addicted to it

It's maybe the heat ^_~

"Classic" Comics

It's been a comic reading week for me. I've been indulging myself with some old comic books downloaded from the net. I was only able to read the "Infinity Gauntlet" book and not the entire series which spans to 6 sagas during my high school days. I'm still at the Infinity Crusades saga, can't wait to read 'em all ^_______^

What do I remember the about my trip to Marinduque last weekend for the first time...4 hour sloowww Bus trip, 4 hour boat ride with a room full of LOUD, undisciplined, annoying passengers who happens to know each other by the 4th degree, scorching "provincial" summer heat accompanied with occasional dust touching your sweating skin and people talking to your but can't seem to undestand what the hell they are talking about, undrinkable water, and no decent food even on the town center.

And ohh yeah, you know what my souvenir for that trip was? large mosquito bites, which reminds me never to take that trip next year.

Today's the day when the list for Webhosting transfer will be out.

I pray that I won't be tarnsfered there. Its like giving away freedom in Email Support.

Time alone has given me a new way of looking into life. I often get too attached with responsibilities and tasks that life seems to be an endless cycle of routines. All black and white.

Now after having more time reflecting, alone in this empty house. I find a deeper meaning in what life should be. I see people miding their business, having their own lives, apart from me. Having their own dreams and goals in life, but still, have time enjoying each others comfort. Deep inside, I envy that.

I spend too much time in work that I often left out the biggest part of my life, my family. But i've learned my mistake.
Soon I'll be spending my time again with my family, and looking forward for a fresh start. I want to see my son grow. I don't want to make the same mistake my father did. I want him to see a father. A father and a family.

That should be the story of my life.

Office Gossip.

I really didn't realize that I would be intrested in hearing office gossip. Its sooo Not-me. But then again listening won't necessarily get you into trouble right?.

Rumor mongering, now that will get you into trouble :)

1 Gig EMAIL!

Wow! I finally got my free 1 Gig email thanks to GMAIL and Blogger!

I am now brianjan(at)gmail.com ! ^_^

What I hate on my 9am to 6 PM training shift:

• I wake up earlier than usual.
  
• Travel time is always 2 hours, which usually around less than an hour only on my regular shift.
  
• My Body Clock is disorganized
  
• Going home at 6PM is HELL, with the traffic.
  
• I am totally physically drained by 8PM
  

Im so glad this is my last day in CS training.

Tomorrow its back to normal for me.

Loose handcuffs

Last week our IT dept put SurfControl^TM on Friendster. Which I think is pretty silly since any one who knows how to use a proxy server can bypass that security measure.

Its just another case of loose handcuffs.
