entry for May 28, 2008:
mydsl pldt's broadband service is down for the wholeday... it's already 10pm but still there's no connection... i'm actually writing in advance since i got nothing to do except to watch tv and eat... currently tuned with roland garros in balls channel but the sound and video are not in sync by almost 5 seconds making it so undesirable to watch... anyway it's still on the 1st round and hope the finals will not be on the same channel, if it does it will be a disaster... it's already the 28th of the month and june is just a few days away and yes i am still a jobless fellow... can't understand myself right now, i'm not in a mood of going out and find a job here... i am already thinking of going somewhere maybe cebu or just go back to manila but i just don't feel manila is for me or maybe i'm just wrong and i am really destined to be in manila... i still envisioned myself working here in the city while helping in the growth of information technology in here and when i speak of IT i mean the programming aspect of it... call center jobs are the hot deals when you are a new graduate but i view this as an under employment opportunity... going to good universities for 4 years is a big investment and you will end working in a call center, their primary requirement is that you must be able to speak good english... i have nothing against call centers maybe i may work in one someday if they will accept my carabao english... but this is reality we work hard studying to pass every subject we take and we end up working in a place that doesn't require balancing of accounts or creating program functions or even creating a lesson plan... with that in mind i am eager to help in my own capacity to elevate the name of our city as a place of good programmers, web developers or IT proffesionals overall... not the one go to other places but from here, bringing the investment to the city by having outside clients... i know its a hard task but no one knows, maybe the next google like empire will be coming from bacolod... ok back to reality... how can we be like that when the internet connection is down for already almost 24 hours??... my this is really bad, a server down for a whole day??.. its a super disaster, you'll see your clients moving out the next day... i'm outta here... peace! (p.s. its already 10:30pm and mydsl is down.)

yes mydsl went back last 29th, i later learned that it was because of the major trouble in the visayas and mindanao... it is still unstable though i experienced an intermittent service yesterday and today, i just hope it will be okay from now on... peace!

Change is Coming!

After a much heated campaigns the election fever are almost finally over. Pending the final canvassing of votes by the congress the people have chosen a new leader to rule the country for the next 6 years. The presumptive president is a mayor from a city down south of the Philippines known for his iron fisted style of government. What makes this election interesting is the process on how people now choose their leaders. Traditionally, we oath to go for people with great experience, plans, smart and proper character and attitude someone we normally call 'honorable'. This election changed that idea, people now go for leaders with real simple plans to solve recurring problems in the society, strong work portfolio to showcase their capability to govern and implement real solutions. Good luck to the newly elected president, I wish you well in your quest to change this country into something everyone wish it should be. Peace!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

The year is about to end and yes it was one challenging and full of adventure 2018. Who would thought that after 10 years I'm still here working in a university, something I didn't even plan to pursue but probably it was a decision that I took and never regretted. Starting from an engineering background which is also the first job I took at a semiconductor manufacturing company for so many years and later going back to college and shifted into programming. To look back, the Singapore trip with my colleagues is one for the books, it was a fun filled adventure going around Singapore, visiting Google Singapore office and Expedia, the food and meeting our former students and workmates who are now based there. Last May, I was fortunate to be given a chance to visit Google at Mountain View, CA and attended the  GDG Leaders Summit and Google I/O 2018. Meeting my co-leads from the my own country and the rest of the world is an experience one would appreciate a lot, basically lea

Happy New Year!

It's the last day of the year 2015. Taking time to look back on so many things I witnessed and encountered this year, a mix of adventure, exciting, fun, stressful and heart breaking days meant to happen as a way to learn more things in life and at the end made us stronger than ever and much more wiser. If we pause for a while and try to understand the real meaning of life it is somewhat hard to really understand everything, the purpose, the way it must be lived, the destinations and the endings. With different perspective or views we can't really agree in all points on how it should be done. Each of us lives in a unique world, every day comes as a blessing to all of us and how we spend it will depend on our own individual likings. But as we open our lives to other people we tend to align our days with them which creates a new unique experience for us. No matter how we celebrate life the main goal for me is to be happy with everything, life is not an easy ride and it is a good
