The Life Cake

3 things blew my cap today. Im so angry, no, I am furious on what happened.

I was supposed to be happy today, long weekend and finally my grandma is going home. She was confined in the hospital due to her heart condition. I even visited her today since I never had a chance in the past 4 days. Also, I had a schedule this evening with my raket partner to finish our system in UP. Classes already started and our system is still not ready. We were planning to meet at around 5

Ok, it seems pretty nice… but I forgot about Murphy’s law…

First, the hospital bill. We decided to bring my grandma home at around 2 pm. My grandpa already requested for the "chit" (as if it was a restaurant) at the cashier. I was expecting that it will only be short (being part of the billing solutions delivery team of Globe) since it was for one patient only. 2:30, my grandpa came back and he said it was still not prepared. They said the doctor’s fee was to be given plus the resident doctor should be present to sign the release paper.Guess what, it’s a sunday and the doctor is out of town. The reliever came at around 4 pm.

Bad shot. Add another 3 hours to ask the doctor about her fee (She is out of town and her phone was busted).My grandma was already worried and started her "I’m going to die her" dialogue. It was settled at around 8 pm and finally we reached home at around 830.

Second, My dear "Tito" who promised my grandma a ride home never returned. He left at around 4 pm because "nobody’s home" and he should look after it. we were about to leave (I’m pissed off about the bill already) and tried to contact him. I thought it was ok because my mom told us he was on his way. 1 hour passed, no sign of him appearing in my grandma’s ward. I tried to call my mom again and she told us that my tito never went home and she couldn’t contact her. He must be in his barkada again. My sight turned bright red and I feel I want to stab someone right across his face. My poor grandma needs a comfy ride so I have to go find a cab for her. I’m also worried about my partner cause he’s been in  the lab since 5 pm. I was supposed to do my part where he’s program is dependent. I felt so ashamed because I was expecting to stay up to 6 pm only. Very nice tito, you made my day.

Lastly, I was expecting I can rely on my dad to fetch us from the hospital. I called home to ask him
but my mom said the car is too high for my lola. Huwwwaaatttt? What a lame excuse? We can lift her up with my bro or he should have told me earlier, so I should have brought the car. But no, "it was too high mumbo jumbo".That was the last straw and then I closed my ears to the world. Fury made took it’s toll in me. Good thing he told me he was sorry because he was not feeling well but why do he need to lie? Damn it.

My reputation was at stake with that project. It was already delayed and now I have to ask my prof to give us an extension. I love my grandma but I hate who caused me to delay my project. Sana lang  sinabi sa kin ng mas maaga para masabihan ko si partner. I’m so in shame. Freaking shame.

I wish I could finish it tomorrow… I wish I could see myself smiling again today…

Life is such a bastard…

gusto ko lang i-share… sana may makidamay…

Inspired ako sa ginawang blog entry ni adrianong hitad, kaya gumawa ako ng sarili kong version:

1) Dapat kilala mo kung sino ang boss mo. Kamukha man siya ni yoda o ni jarjar, igalang at matutong sumunod. Huwag pasaway

2) Huwag sasakay ng elevator kung may kasabay kang consultant na Bumbay. Pag minalas, ipikit mo na lang ang mata mo at isiping isa kang diver na walang oxygen tank.

3) Hindi nauubos ang trabaho. Kahit todo OT ka at  gabundok na ang pending mo, sumulat ka man sa wish ko lang, hindi mawawala yan.

4) Matutong mag-enjoy. Humanap ka ng paraan para hindi ka ma-bore sa ginagawa mo. Pwede kang magdala ng baseball bat, stuffed toy, picture ng nanay mo (dramahan mo) o kaya decorate mo ang cubicle mo. Promise, mabawasan ang stress mo.

5) Pag di na kaya, huwag kang hihimatayin. Kakahiya lalo na sa meeting. Sabihin mo na lang "Boss, CR muna ko". Dun ka na maglupasay.

6) Maraming maangas na users. Sila yung mga taong pilit ipapagawa sa iyo ang gusto nila kahit alam mong imposible. Aba hindi ka lang pala programmer, magician ka pa.

7) Walang kapantay kung may kaibigan ka sa office. Pwede mo silang hingan ng payo, sabihan ng frustrations mo, utangan, bwisetin at samahang gumimik.  Isa sila marahil sa dahilan kung bakit ayaw mo pang umalis.

Ang opisina ay parang senado at congress. Di mawawala ang pulitika. May debate, bias decisions, etc. Enough said…

9) Pag di na kasya sa MRT, huwag na ipilit kung ayaw magmukhang nilapirot na langaw sa pinto. 

10) Ngayon alam ko na kung bakit ang mga lalaking empleyado na noong college ay mukhang tuko ngayon mukha ng buntis …

Pusong kupas

Masaklap man at matinding hapdi
Titiisin, oo ako’y magtitiis
Dahil ang kahapong aking nadama
Kailanma’y ayokong mawala

para sa babaeng tawagin na lang natin sa pangalang bebe

My quote for last night is "Be at the right place at the right time".

I don’t know if I’m just lucky cause yesterday really sucked. I was stuck in my desk doing my "project" ( Project Ernie ) the whole day trying to figure out how would I implement the business rules. Surely, it put me in the challenge but still it sucks having your ass pinned down your chair for the whole day. I was planning to avail my additional day-off tomorrow so I have to rush and force all my work to be done this day.

Enough of the bad part. So why do I consider myself lucky? It all started when I was all drained down (for the nth time) because of stress from work. I decided to return later because I have to do my gym routine( gasp! I do go to the gym). It was a normal night, change attire, put all the stuff in the bag and proceed with my program. And I thought it would be normal…

While I was doing my chest press (damn it, still hurts…), the door in the gym flew open. Then came … how would I describe them, 2 lovely ladies. Did I say lovely?  I mean two hot gorgeous babes entered the gym. They have the skin, the figure, the "future", the height! And their dress, damn they are hot (sorry bebe, describe ko lang yung nakita ko).

Due to their presence, my mind went over to another dimension and I forgot that I’m doing my exercise. Then pain came in to snatch me back to reality. It was terrible  but it’s ok with the sight I saw, it was like anesthesia. They flirted with our gym assistant (he’s gay but that night I envy him for being one lucky son of a *bleep*).

I think from that night my work-out will be quite interesting. As master Hebs said "Tingin lang pwera hawak, yari ka kay kumander. Pero kung…".

Bottomline, it was a very nice way to end a stressful day.

Ala lang… gusto ko lang i-share… baka may makidamay… ehehehehe

Sampung buwan ang nakalipas
simula nang bitiwan mo ang mga salitang
Nagbago ng tuluyan sa ating buhay
Mga salitang kahit kailan di matutumbasan
Ng kahit anumang yamang iyong maisipan

Maraming pagsubok ang katunayan
Away, Distansya, galit ang ilan
Pero patuloy pa rin ang buhay nating
Pinagbuklod ng salitang makapangyarihan

Ngayon sa ating ika-sampung buwan
Muli nating sariwain ang salitang
Kahit kailan ay di malilimutan
Iyon ang "Bebe, mahal na mahal kita"
"DI kita iiwanan magpakailanman"

Another bad day in the office. It’s month end and it means stress again. Falcon, Innove’s data billing system had it’s billrun yesterday. It means I have to manually generate again those darn after bill-run reports. It’s ok if it is only around 5-10 reports but in my last count, it’s around 23 !!! Imagine, 23 reports that I have to ensure their precision and correctness. Now that’s what I call an overkill!!!

What’s worst, my users doesn’t know how their report works. They provided the requirements for their report, I followed it and then programmed the jobs but still they were asking me what does this report do. Worst, they want some "on-the-fly" changes. Ok na sana kung yun lang ang gagawin ko but I have some other tasks to finish.

Shesshh, I really need a long long long vacation from work. Good thing I have boxing later (I’m such in a bad mood, I might rip my opponent into pieces!).

Ala lang share ko lang… Baka may makidamay… ehehehehe
