What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Guimaras part deux
Spent the weekend at Guimaras, this time with the family I'm staying with. I wasn't able to swim 'coz I was tired from a whole night of partying with some co-workers. I also suffered from a burst of stupidity when I left my eyeglasses and only remembered that I lost them when I got home. Sheeesh. I took some pictures though.
saw some kids playing softball in the middle of the coconut trees.
View from the resort which overlooks the beach.

Four Jobs I've Had In My Life:
1. Messenger- First job I ever had. I had this summer job between the 3rd and 4th year of HS. It was for a travel agency in Binondo.
2. School clerk- My job was to list all the grades of all the students in the UST-College of Education to be distributed to the students. It was fun ‘coz I got to see the grades or our teachers and realized how difficult it was to teach.
3. College Professor- Hard to believe I had it in me to do this, but it’s in the genes naman eh. How I love to hear the “stupidents” “Siiir, baka pwede naman special project na lang!”.
4. Architect-designer-Project Manager- The one thing that I wanted to become will be the last job I’ll ever have, lest I get a chance to work in Pixar, Walt Disney or Lucasfilms!
Four Films I Can Watch Over And Over:
1. Sleepless in Seattle.- I have a radar for this movie. I can always find which channel it’ll be on and I’ll catch it at exactly the same scene when Annie first gets to hear Sam on the radio.
2. The Wedding Singer- Drew Barrymore and the 80’s. Nuff said!
3. The Matrix Reloaded- Everything gets clearer each time I watch.
4. Fools rush in- "there are signs everywhere." Every architects' fantasy! Salma Hayek!
Four Places I Have Lived:
1. Sampaloc, Manila
2. Subic base, Olongapo
3. Villa, Arevalo, Iloilo City
4. errr sori, I’ve only lived in 3 places, except if you count that 1 year during my thesis, but it’s still in Sampaloc.
Four TV Programs I Love To Watch:
1. F*R*I*E*N*D*S!
2. Lost
3. CSI (any)
4. MTV Cribs
Four Places I Would Love To Visit, If I Had The Moolah:
1. US of A
2. Singapore
3. Melbourne and Adelaide
4. Phuket
Four Websites I Visit Daily:
1. www.nba.com
2. www.yahoo.com
3. www.airfagev.com –a site for smartphone users.
4. Blogs of friends, acquaintances and chosen strangers. (hehe. Copy ko na lang from Mano)
Four Of My Favorite Food:
1. Kare-Kare
2. Pizza in a form.
3. Pasta in any form
4. Chocolates in any form!
Four Places I Would Rather Be:
1. home
2. the beach

13 years.
Talk about March Madness! A lot different from the Dance, I just spent the past couple of weeks in hell, or at least it felt like it. Summer beckons as the temperature is surely reaching the mid 30's, along with a perfectionist boss and paranoid homeowners, it's the just the right recipe to send someone who's in charge, someone like me, to be sent into the asylum.
I don't understand why some people can be so inconsiderate. Is it normal for employees to be "always" the one to blame? Or is this just a cultural thing? Is it just me? Does it get harder as you near the top? This is almost the same situation I was in before I left my previous boss. Is it the stress of maintaining the stature of one's position or profession? I pray I won't be this way when I have my own company! Please enlighten me!
"I need a Juicy!"
Maybe it's just me. Maybe you do need to be more aggressive or ruthless for you to be successful. I hope my observation's wrong. I was taught in the ways that if you work hard and treat people right you'll be blessed! 13 years after graduation and I still can't see it happening. Maybe nice guys do finish last.
The end of the construction project is a couple of months delayed but my personal commitments have been harrassing me all the way from Sampaloc. I pray that this will be something that can sustain me for a long time. I had to turn down a couple of jobs because of my proximity from Manila, and I'm someone who doesn't turn down a job. 13 years ought to be enough time to prepare. I have to do it sooner or later. This way, no more overtime, no more tardiness, no more "intentional flu". This way, it'll just be my time!
