it’s not that bad…

Bad Day

… cause you had a bad day, you’re taking one down, you sing a sad song just to turn it around, you say you don’t know, you tell me don’t lie, you work at a smile and you go for a ride, you had a bad day, the camera don’t lie, you’re coming back down and you really don’t mind, you had a bad day, you had a bad day …

haha! i finally knew the title of the song, apparently, it is "Bad Day" by daniel powter… happened to download the lyrics and mp3 copy thursday night! great melody huh!

just another box with a view…

it is approximately 3 kilometers from my workplace to the biggest mall in the country to date, the "SM Mall of Asia", quite popular these days huh… being the philippines largest (the mall is the same size as the whole vatican city), the mall is a promising prime tourist spot having state-of-the-art features such as surround sound cinemas, imax theaters, olympic size skating rink and variety of restaurant, stalls and shops that will definitley delight all "mall-lovers" out there…

saturation point…

in a matter of days i’ll be celebrating my fifth year in my workplace… this is my first job and i gained a lot working in this company… knowledge, friends, experiences… who would not love my job having free air travel, being able to visit different places… workmates who are very supportive and understanding and they were able to ease my impression of a workplace as a corrupt and negatively competitive environment… i am thankful having such good officemates… i used to practice my knowledge that i learned in college… managed to improved my skills… invested a little in the bank and bought some things… i was enjoying at first… but not now… i reached my saturation point… now, im bored…

i’m again in this great crossroad of life, facing another quandary that i know, me alone can decide and weigh… am i going to quit or not? apparently, there are only two options…

i. to quit - to quit my job is a big sacrifice, this is my main source of income these days and my saving aren’t enough to support me for being a bum for even a year, but quitting will give me freedom and happiness…

ii. not to quit - not to quit will ensure me of survival but my happiness and freedom are the price…

which one will i choose?

if i’m not a programmer II

here's my "would have been" list

i. full time photographer

ii. traveller/mountaineer

given enough resources, i would love to travel… hay… travelling comes with photograpy, they are twins… i love travelling as i love photography… being in different places unfamiliar to you, experiencing different cultures, witnessing the beauty of nature… for sure is a happy feeling… i like to surf in Siargao and La Union… swim in white sand of Bora and Camiguin… feel the wildness of Kalinga, Cagayan de Oro and Davao River… explore the beauty of Bohol, Cebu and Sagada… discover the wonder of Banaue, Caramoan and Palawan… trek the mountains of Pulag, Pinatubo and Apo… swim with the underwater creatures of the Philippine sea…. whew! there's a countless of destinations to explore in Philippines alone… and i want to personally witness them and capture them with my best friend…

iii. actor

sabi nga… dream, believe, survive… hehehe… yes, nangarap akong mag-artista… be it in theater, tv or silverscreen… pero i guess malabo na mangyari ito… pasok na lang ako sa bahay ni kuya… ü

iv. "housemate"

i know i can surpass the challenges… i know a lot of people will vote for me… i think i have the potential to be the sole survivor sa bahay ni kuya… kaya given a chance and lakas ng loob eh mag-aaudition ako to be a housemate sa Pinoy Big Brother house… wakekeke… please, do vote for me…

v. singer

this is really one of my frustrations… i really wanted to have a good singing voice… 1000+ pogi points yun… try ko kaya mag-enroll sa center for pop music… nasa tono naman ako, pero kulang pa sa hasa… i got 99 sa videoke though ü

vi. volcanologist/climatologist/geologist

i have this inborn interest in volcanoes, earthquake studies, typhoon, climate and the like, so perhaps i would have been in this field too

vi. journalist/writer

there was a time in my life that i wanted to be a journalist or writer… i was associate editor of our school organ during high school and there were times that i am in a mood for writing… i dreamed of authoring a book… but for now, i'll just blog…

vii. social worker

i see myself sometimes being in a remote province or town in the Philippines doing social work with the indegenous people of our country… i think this is exciting…

viii. pilot

with a huge salary and free travel, plus the 1000000+++ pogi points of being a pilot, who would not like to be one? 

ix. fire volunteer

sabi nila mahilig daw ako sa kaguluhan… hehehe, partly, pero ang totoo, i like this job kasi parang astig silang tingnan… nakakatulong talaga sa society…

x. professional bum

hahaha… heto, i always wanted to be… pero mag mayaman na ako ü

others…

politician, xerox machine operator, athlete, painter and body builder
