Hard times

Recession is all over the news. Companies have their own shares of battling with it. Some through retrenchment, others, cost-cutting in any form – reduced salaries, slashed training/team building budgets, forced leaves and so on. And we are not talking about small companies here. These are corporations which we may never think will experience it. These are even perhaps the companies which you so wanted to work for (Years ago, I wanted to work for a company that I kept applying whenever they have openings. Recently, I heard that they were letting go of people as early as 2008 :(). These are companies of the first world countries.

I for one was one of those retrenched during the economic crisis in 2001. Though I was given the right compensation and all the benefits that come with it, it was still tough. I mean, it’s not just about the money. It’s more of what it makes you feel about yourself really. Though the usual policy for retrenchment is FIFO (first in, first out), you still cannot stop yourself from thinking that you are not worth it so they are letting you go. It’s really a blow on your self-esteem and your over-all being. And the nightmare of job hunting is another story.

In all fairness to these companies who are letting go of people, they make sure that their employees get the standard separation package. Others even go the extra mile by giving out more than what is expected. Some companies give out trainings for new skills to employees so that they have other options once they leave their current job. Kudos to these companies!

Financial analysts say we will be experiencing this in the next 24 months or more. There are already a lot of articles related to battling with recession that’s circulating in the net, most of which are very good reads. It wouldn’t hurt if we follow some of it.

To those who have been let go or are about to be let go, I wish you luck in your new endeavors, may it be looking for other jobs or using your separation pays to start on businesses.

To those of us who still have jobs we hold on to, may we learn to value it and be grateful that we still have it. May we stay put even for just a little longer so as to give more opportunities for those who have lost their jobs, instead of becoming their competitors in the game of job hunting. Yes, we have our own ideals, and we also always have the choice of looking for better opportunities but at a time like this, I think it’s also nice to become unselfish for once and give others the chance to hope and dream again for themselves and for their families, to help them gain back their self-esteem, and to stand on their own two feet again. Don’t you think so?

RUNew Race

I’m a finisher at this run! Yifee!

Here are the details:
Event: RUNew (Asian Hospital) 3K/5K/15K
When: 2/22/2009
Where: McKinley Hill, Taguig City
Registration Fee: Php 300.00 (Feb. 1-15), Php 350.00 (Feb. 16-21), Php 500 (Onsite registration)

I, together with other Outdoor members registered. I signed up for 5K.

With less than three hours of sleep (I know…I should be getting more before a run :p), it was a miracle that I was fully awake when my alarm rang at 3:40 AM. Anne’s picking me up at SITC at 4:40 AM so I got ready right away. When I called Anne at around 4:20 AM, she just woke up. OMG! Hehehe. But I was not panicking yet since the 5K run starts at 6 AM so even if we meet at 5 AM, we are still on time. By 5:15 AM, I was already at 7-11 Q. Ave. and a few minutes later, Anne arrived. Mira and her daughter Claire are already with her. We also picked up EdChi at Petron Santolan then off we went to McKinley.

Unfortunately, we took the wrong lane along EDSA and we were forced to pass by Ayala Ilalim. My gulay wahahaha. We then decided to just go on a right turn at Evangelista then to South Super Highway so that we can go back to EDSA via Magallanes. For the second time, we took the wrong exit to EDSA because we were back on the other side of South Super Highway waaaaaa. Ok ok. We can just turn right at Pasong Tamo and then off to Arnaiz. But lo and behold! We missed the street wahahaha. Ampness. It was already 20 minutes to 6 AM and we were all starting to get pressured. Good thing there’s still Dela Rosa so off we went. We made a right turn to Pasong Tamo then left at Arnaiz until we reached EDSA. Whew. We were back on track. Good thing that at McKinley, there were security personnel who showed us the way to the parking lot.

When we arrived at the starting line, the 5K race already started for 9 minutes huhu. After having our numbers checked, off we went. I ran continuously for I guess 1 KM when suddenly, I started to feel cramps on my right foot. Huhu. Ok, this is what I get for not preparing for the run. I did not even do any stretching ahihi. So there, I’m suffering the consequences. I decided to walk for a while until the pain subsides a little. Unfortunately, it was not getting better so I just pushed myself to interchange running and brisk walking. After barely passing the 2KM mark, I got a side stitch! Weh! Anove! Tsk. Tsk. I still pushed while praying fervently that I will be spared with injuries and promising that I should do stretches first in my succeeding runs hehehe. I was ecstatic when I saw the 3KM mark. It means I’m in the right track and I’m nearing the finish line hihihi. So there, sprinting and walking I went, while occasionally singing Let the Pain Remain wahahaha. Why that song? I don’t know as well hahaha.

There were photographers all over the place so every time I pass by one, I just smile whether or not he’s taking my picture ahihi. Just in case lang :p.

After running/walking for almost an hour, I reached the finish line. Yifffee! A lady took the number on my bib. Hopefully this time, I’ll be included in the online race results ahihi. There was also an official photographer at the end of the line so I gave my best smile when he took my picture wahahaha. Adik.

Good thing I bumped into Mira and EdChi. They finished earlier. While they went to the PhotoVendo line, I went straight to the Freebees line to get mine. We were given a loot bag (I haven’t checked the full contents yet but I saw an alcohol, cotton, face towel, juice and some flyers), a bottle of Rush and mineral water. I heard there were bananas but I wasn’t able to find one anymore. I was already starving ahihi. Next, I went to get my certificate then joined the others in the PhotoVendo line. Anne and Glen were already with Mira and EdChi. After we had our pictures taken and printed (yes, they were giving a printed photo for all…cool!), we went straight to Mcdo for breakfast.

There you go. Until my next run! Teehee!

Dinner at Leslie's on Balentyms

We immediately left EK after having our snacks of hotdog sandwich. We were expecting to reach Leslie’s after an hour but que horror! It was traffic. We were thinking at first that maybe it’s because it’s Valentine’s Day so many are on their way to Tagaytay for the night. But it was still unbelievable because traffic started just a few minutes after we made a right turn from Sta. Rosa. Huwell. There’s nothing we can do except to continue with our pang-ookray hehehe.

We saw a Ferrari! Ang taray ni Lolo. Bigatin ang ride. Si lola ay hindi mukhang lola. Siguro many years younger talaga sya hehehe.

One of the passengers of the Starex van in front was gay. Nagpapacute kay Sol ahahaha. Nginingitian at kumakaway pa talaga wahaha! Astig ka Sol. Isa kang magnet…gay magnet? Hihihi. Nung hindi sya tumitigil sa pagpapacute, pinakitaan namin ng L sign. Ang ganti sa amin? Pinakita lang naman nya ang kanyang flowers at balloons! Plural tsong. Hindi lang isang pirasong flower at balloon. Bouquet of flowers with matching elegant plastic wrapper at sangkatutak na balloons in different shapes and sizes formed into a design. Syet! Ni isa man lang sa aming mga babae walang flowers huhuhu. Wala. We are really losers…losers on the loose bwahahaha.

After 10 years, nakarating din kami sa Leslie’s. Good thing may available na upuan that time. Di pa ganon karami mga tao. Kaso naman, olats yung waiter na na-assign sa amin. Hindi attentive. Anyway, we ordered Bulalo, Crispy Pata, Kangkong and Ginataang Kalabasa, Sitaw at Hipon. Tsalap tsalap!

Habang naghihintay ng orders at para hindi maisip ang kagutuman, nagpicture-picture muna kami. Si Sol, nagkaroon ng love-hate relationship with my camera :p. Love nya pag maputi sya sa pic, hate nya pag sobrang itim wahahaha.

Sa kalagitnaan ng aming kaguluhan, bigla kaming may narinig na fireworks! Weeee! Ito yung isa sa balak naming hintayin sa EK e pero pinagpalit namin sya sa Leslie’s hihihi. Buti na lang may fireworks din dito. Nangyari lahat ng gusto namin. Di nga lang ako marunong kumuha ng fireworks. Low batt na kasi yung magandang camera ni Gelo :p.

Nung finally may food na, tahimik nang nagsikain ang lahat. Hindi na nakuhanan ng pic yung food kasi pagkalapag, kuha na agad wehehehe. Nung medyo nabawasan na ang aming kagutuman, kwentuhan at hiritan naman. Ito lang yung mga na-note ko hehehe (literal na ninote-nakasave ‘to as draft sa phone ko).

• Kaya ako single ngayon kasi ganito ako kumain.
• This is life.
• This is single blessedness.
• Love will find a way kaso wrong way tayo.

Quotable quotes from losers hahaha.

After ng dinner and bili ng pasalubong, sibat na kami. Temporary amnesia ako dito by choice hihihi. Ang natatandaan ko lang, muntik na akong mapaiyak dito ni Gelo huhuhu. Sa aking mga EK buddies, wag nyo na akong piliting ilagay dito. At wag na rin nating pag-usapan sa comments wahahaha.

After a few minutes of traveling, biglang nagtanong si Sol kung tama pa ba yung dinadaanan namin. Upon checking the place, mukhang tama naman so sabi ko tama. Pero bigla kong naalalang itanong kung nag-left ba kami after naming madaanan ang rotunda. Hindi daw. Bigla akong napasigaw ng “Mali! Papunta na tayo ng People’s Park. Balik”. Hehehe. Muntik pa kaming maligaw at mapadpad sa kung saang lupalop wahahaha.

Pagkatapos non, kanya-kanyang diskarte na ng pagtulog habang si Sol ay nagmamadali na sa pagda-drive. Di ko na namalayan ang iba pang pangyayari. Nagising na ako nung malapit na kami sa C5. Dumaan kami kina Emie para isoli yung sasakyan ng tita nya and lipat sa sasakyan ni Sol sabay harurot na. Late na sya sa kanyang date ahihi. Namamatayan si Sol nung una kasi nanibago sya sa sasakyan nya. Di daw sya sanay wahahaha. Take note, isang araw lang na iba ang nadrive nyang car ah hehehe. Ibinaba kami sa SM Pasig then kanya-kanya nang kumuha ng taxi pauwi. Sabay-sabay kami nina Gelo and Jen. Drop off ko na lang sila sa kung saan man sila bababa.

Home sweet home at around 12 AM or a little past 12. Sisimulan ko na sana magblog kaso inantok na ako. Nagawa ko lang idownload ang mga pictures from my camera at panoorin at balikan muli ang mga kwentong kaakibat ng bawat larawan. Neks! May ganun? Wahaha.

EK on Balentyms

Warning: Long post because it’s more than 12 hour’s worth of stories. Read at your own risk .

Weeks ago, some of our officemates planned to go to EK on Valentine’s Day. They extended the invitation to everyone who is single wahahaha. It’s a date for loosers daw hahaha. We were supposed to be 8 in all but 2 backed out at the last minute. Mga corny.

The final cast: Sol, Emie, Pam, Jen, Gelo, My

We opted to just rent a car so that it will be more convenient. We were able to rent Emie’s tita’s car and Sol became our official driver hehehe.

On Friday, we were all set. We will be meeting at OSMA the next day at 9:30 AM. We all agreed to just help wake each other up by 6 AM. Hehehe.

As for me, Anne and I went out on Friday night so I was expecting to have a hard time waking up . By 6 AM, Emie already sent a wake up call text message. I was still asleep that time . By 6:30, she sent another one to me. She sounded like she’s already panicking because I was not able to reply to her text right away wahahaha. Anyway, that text woke me up. Good thing because when I checked my cel, I failed to set my alarm wahahaha. I got up at 7 AM to start preparing. I texted Gelo but he was not replying. I tried calling him but I can’t get through. Maybe his phone is acting up again. It was not yet time to panic so I just decided to call him again by 7:30. Anyway, even if he wakes up that time, he will still be on time. I continued with my preparation and by 7:30, I tried calling Gelo again. This time, he answered. He’s already awake. And so is everyone else. Thank God.

By 9:40, I was already at OSMA. Sol and Emie were already there as well. A few minutes later, Gelo, then Jen arrived. Pam was late!!!! We bombarded her with missed calls and text messages hahaha. When finally, she arrived, we started our trip. That was around 10:15 already. Nasa Market-Market pa lang kami, may nakita kaming guy na may hawak na flowers. Sigwawan kami ng uyyy sa sasakyan hahaha. Dito pa lang lumalabas na pagka-loosers namin wahahha. After approximately 1 hour of travel, we stopped for gas at Petron station. We also decided to just take an early lunch there because food at EK is much more expensive. After a hearty brunch, we headed straight to EK!

On the way, we were spying on other commuters as well hahaha. We saw a couple in another car na super dikit yung girl sa bf na nagmamaneho. Duh! May iba silang kasama. Sa isang car naman, natutulog yung girl habang yung guy was driving. Na-sense ata nung guy na tinitignan naming so bigla nyang ginising yung girl by letting her face him wahahaha. Walang kasing timang na guy! Amp! Inisip naming chickboy yung guy and yung kasama nya is the legal wife hahaha. Lahat ng nakita naming pairs, ginawan namin ng kwento. Syempre may kasama nang okray yan. Mga loosers wahahaha! Yung iba naman na walang kasama, tinatag namin as loosers like us hahaha. Yung ibang may itsura, pine-pair namin kay Pam .

We reached EK at around 12 PM. After some picture taking at the entrance, we bought our tickets and went immediately to 4D. Tawang-tawa ako kina Jen and Pam kasi napapasigaw talaga sila tuwing umaangat or bumababa yung upuan hahaha. Sobrang pinipigilan ko tawa ko kasi feeling ko, kami lang yung tawa ng tawa. Yung ibang kasama naming nanonood, deadma lang. Corny nila :p. Ako nandiri sa spray of water na kunwari daw tae ng ibon hahaha. Inisip ko kasi talagang totoong tae ng ibon yun. Iwww. Hahaha.

Next was the jungle log jam. Habang nasa pila, nag-aargue na kami kung sino ang uupo sa harap hahaha. Lahat kami ayaw don eh kasi sya ung pinakamababasa wahaha. So unahan na lang nangyari. Since si Gelo ang first sa amin, sya ang umupo agad sa gitna. Ako sunod sa likod nya. No choice si Jen so sa harap na sya hehehe. Sa kabila naman, si Sol sa harap, Pam gitna and Emie likod. Alam kong may camera somewhere so I made sure na nakangiti ako don sa part nay un. Before namin marating yung highest drop, inhale-exhale na ako hahaha. Si Jen ang bida dito! Wahahaha. Para syang nagtratransform sa pic namin! Si Gelo, sigaw kung sigaw, ako nakasmile pa! Hahaha. Nakuha ko tamang timing! Pero mas panalo sina Sol and Emie (uuyy hihihi). Si Sol nakarockstar sign, si Emie naman, pang-Miss U ang kaway. Si Pam, nagtago kay Sol wahahaha. Pero wala talaga akong masabi kay Jen. Para syang dinaanan ng signal no. 4 na bagyo after nun hahaha. Sira ang make up! Hahaha. Peace Jen! Binili na namin yung mga pictures namin kahit may kamahalan. Natuwa kami sa mga itsura namin eh hahaha.

Next pit stop – Anchors Away. Ayaw ko dapat sumakay eh kasi di ko nagustuhan nung first time ko. Sobrang sya yung pinaka-ayaw kong ride. Pero I was feeling adventurous so go pa rin. Mga kasama ko, gusto sa likod so likod kung likod hahaha. Si Sol, nakayang magpicture kaya may pictures pa kami habang sumisigaw hahaha. Tinatawanan ako ni Jen kasi one time na nagpeace sign ako habang nagpapapicture, kita nya nginig yung kamay ko hahaha. Susko, feeling ko pa rin kasi talaga malalaglag ako any moment hahaha. PERO! Si Pam ang panalo dito. Umiyak! Wahahaha. Literal na umiyak. At ako na katabi nya, nakuha ko pa syang tawanan ahihihi. So insensitive of me. Sorry Pam. Kaya daw sya naiyak kasi feeling daw nya, mamamatay na sya nung time na yun. After nung ride, umupo muna kami para matapos ni Pam magrelease ng takot hehehe.

Next to Anchors, pumila na kami para sa Ferris Wheel. Chillax ride naman hehehe. Nagsiksikan kaming anim sa isang car (or kung anuman tawag don). Nagkulitan lang kami dito. Si Gelo, inikot ng inikot yung car kaya hilong-hilo kami. Amp.

Rio Grande dapat kasunod pero biglang nagclose for maintenance daw. Amp. Sayang. Ready pa naman kami lahat mabasa that time hahaha.

So don na lang kami sa Flying Fiesta. Chillax rin lang dito. After ng turn namin, wala pa naman kasi nakapila so stay put lang dapat kami for the 2^nd ride kaso pinaalis kami ng attendants kasi kailangan daw namin pumila uli. Amp. Ininsist namin na bakit pa eh konti lang naman tao sa pila and kasya pa rin sila kahit nandon pa kami pero rule daw dapat pumila uli so no choice kami. Exit then pasok uli sa entrance. Amp. Seat color of the group: first ride – green, second ride – yellow.

Next on the list: Space Shuttle! Mahaba-haba pila dito. So as always, naghanap na naman kami ng mga pwedeng punain hahaha. Nung kita na namin yung platform, may nawitness ako sa isang guy rider. Super pikit sya nung start ng ride. Nung natapos yung ride, pikit pa rin sya. Nung nagstop na at babba na sila, bigla syang tumayo sa seat nya at sumigaw ng wooohoooo with matching raise of the hands bwahahaha. Ayan na…kami na! At syempre, dahil single naman kami and walang masyadong responsibilities so pwede pa rin kaming magpaka-adventurous ng todo. Pinili naming sa pinakalikod haha. Sina Sol and Emie, pinakadulo, Gelo at ako, second from last, Pam and Jen, 3^rd from last. May nagpipicture taking dito. Yung isang photographer, tanungin daw ba yung isang girl kung mag-isa lang nya talaga. Pakialam ba nya hahaha. So bitter of me hihihi. Anyway, di ko alam kung san yung camera dito so di tuloy ako nakatingin amp. Si Gelo, tawang-tawa. Si Sol alam kaya ayun, mega-pose uli. Si Emie ganon din. Pero! Tignan nyo naman si Jen! Hahaha. Sigaw with all her might hahaha. Si Pam, taimtim na nagdadasal mwahahaha. Binili rin namin yung pictures namin dito. At dito lang kami nagkaroon ng group pic! Wahaha.

After ng Space Shuttle, bumalik kami sa Rio Grande pero close pa rin. Amp. Ramdam na rin namin ang gutom namin so pinag-usapan na namin kung saan kami kakain. Lahat kami ayaw kumain sa EK and gusto naming somewhere sa labas. Suggest ni Gelo Leslies sa Tagaytay at naexcite lahat. Ang kaso! Si Sol may date ng 11 PM kaya medyo hesitant. Sinabihan namin syang abot na abot sya kasi aalis na kami that time and dinner lang so mabilis lang hehehe so napa-oo pa rin namin sya. Ang original plan was hintayin ang fireworks pero hindi na namin ginawa. Para di magutom, nagmerienda na lang muna kami then sibat na at around 5:30 PM. So bye for now EK. Nag-enjoy kami! Hehehe.

How I spent the start of my 7th year

Few hours after writing my previous post, I woke up and dragged myself out of the comforts of my bed to get ready for work. It dawned on me that I had just completed my 6^th year but my mind was already busy remembering all the things that I need to do that day. I reached the office at around 12:30 PM.

First off in my calendar was a post mortem meeting for TAMS Upgrade Phase 1. This was supposed to be on Feb. 9 but our client couldn’t make it so we had to move it. I was somewhat excited for this meeting. I was waiting for any negative feedback from them and in my mind I was also already preparing for my counter attacks but they did not give us any so they didn’t get one from us either or they did but in a subtle way hahaha. I think there were some areas that are about to result in heated discussions but the “moving forward” thing worked hehehe. After the call, Gelo and I were discussing about our client’s inputs. We were wondering and laughing because all their previous issues about the team did not come out wahahaha. Hmp! Anyway, at least now, we found a way of handling them in these types of meetings.

After that meeting, I met with the ADP team to discuss the FTP set up. Next was the ISMT meeting which lasted until almost 10 PM.

In between those meetings, I also replied to some issues, followed up on deliverables and delegated tasks.

When finally we called it a day, I suddenly remembered that that day was already the start of my 7^th year. Gelo said he wanted to eat at North Park. I got excited and I said yes right away when he asked if we wanted to eat there. That would be a nice way to celebrate my 6^th year. We called the store first to check if they were still open. Fortunately, the one near our office is still open until 2 AM. Yiffee! I was already looking forward to Yang Chow Fried Rice and Salted Garlic squid hahaha. Syaks. We waited for Eden to confirm if she can join us but her hubby has already eaten so she can’t.

Gelo and I left the office at around 10:30 PM and went straight to North Park. On the way, we were already thinking of what to order but when we were at the resto, it still took us at least 10 minutes to decide hahaha. We wanted to order all our favorites but we can’t coz we were the only ones to consume it hahaha. After so much deliberation, we ended up ordering four dishes and of course the Yang Chow Fried Rice wahahaha. Grabe, gluttony to the highest level ito! Tinatawanan na lang naming mga sarili namin. Iniisip din namin kung anong naiisip ng mga waiter sa dami ng orders namin wahahaha. Inunahan na namin silang gawan ng dialogue. At dinaan na lang din namin sa English pag kausap namin sila wahahaha. Pero syempre di naman namin naubos lahat. We only ended up eating half of each dish. Even for the rice, there was still a lot of leftover. We stayed for a few more minutes for our stomach to adjust hahaha. Ampness. Katakawan kasi eh wahahaha.

We left the resto at a little past 12MN. I dropped off Gelo in Broadway as he still needed to go back to the office. Afterwhich, I went straight home and went online while allowing my digestive system to do its work hihihi.

So there goes the end of my 6^th year. Now it’s the countdown for the end of my 7^th year.

6 years!

Today marks the end of my 6th year in my current company. Whew! I can't believe it's already this loooonnnngggg.

On my first day on Feb. 10, 2003, I had my NEO at BCT. We were asked to report at 6 AM (I was shocked when I learned of the call time hahaha). I was a few minutes late because the night before, I just got back from my brother's home in Tagaytay .

Anyway, happy anniversary to me! And good luck as well! Wahaha.

From Eden

Thanks Santas! Sa uulitin ahihi!

Anxiousness

I was dreading to go to work today because I don’t want to be once again subjected by the things that I’m trying to fight off. I was preoccupied by it last weekend and I had to go through the process of re-channeling myself as entertaining that will lead to more complications, which I don’t want to deal with :p because I am a pessimist when it comes to that. I was praying that hopefully today, I will be spared but it was otherwise. It was not that bad though. I’ve actually enjoyed it and I was a little surprised at how things took place hehehe. All the worrying last weekend was useless .

Ampness hihihi. May ganon? Wahaha.

I therefore conclude that from now on, I’ll simply live life and enjoy the journey. I know, I know. This should always be the case and I should know this a long long time ago and I do. I’m just reaffirming.
