Its NGenius!

I finally found the NGenius eNGy toons site, it's actually just inside the NGenius site (how dumb of me.. =P)

As I was searching for it, I stumbled upon another one's blog. I shared some of the author's points in our company's blog. I'm not favoring anyone, but I just want to tell everybody, the author has a good point.

Anyway, just want to share a sample of NGenius's comics. enjoy!

Proud Dabaweños; Dilemma

There are actually a lot to blog about, but I'll just include Saturday's trip (which is I've been longing to blog since Sunday, but didn't have the time), and my dilemma. Well, it's our company's dilemma.

First stop, Saturday's trip. As I mentioned in the prior post, I was really frustrated. And it continued until Saturday. I didn't have a nice sleep last Friday night, I didn't have a wonderful morning, and definitely didn't have a good trip (since I was awake the whole time). But anyway, I enjoyed looking at the sceneries - my way of avoiding those frustrations.

As the trip went on, I noticed banners hung or attached to gates or trees in all schools, some government agencies, covert courts, and gyms. Those banners are saying "Garbo namo nga kami taga-Davao del Sur" or "We are proud that we are from Davao del Sur". I wonder if those banners can alse be seen here in Davao City, but I noticed them all the way to Bansalan, Davao del Sur.

So guys from Davao del Sur, what recent happening here that made you say you are proud to be from here? Did the province won an award or something? What is it? I'm really puzzled.

Anyway, let's go next to my dilemma. My officemate's been fired, for a reason that I'm not in position to tell. But what the hell??? Why would they "terminate" (it's the term they used, harsh huh?) someone who might be very valuable to the company? I mean, I didn't know him that much, but I know what he's capable of. I mean, he's a lot better than I am with programming stuff, and he has a good reputation when it comes to programming during our college years. Just so unfair.

*sigh
Why a company's dilemma? Because I can foresee that this company won't last long. And I'm guessing this will end even before I give birth to my second child. And why is it my dilemma? Because even though we are working with a different person, we're still part of this company. No matter how good our team is working, we will still go down if the company goes down.

Oh, no! I think I'll be looking for another job now. This is just so great!!!

Solution to Frustrations

I'm really frustrated today? Why? Because I learned that I won't be coming home early tomorrow. I mean, I'll probably arrive home at around 2pm, and it's waaaaayyy too early than the last time I got so frustrated coming home late (I got home around 8pm, but I got the notice two weeks before that day, and was a little bit prepared --> it's the awarding ceremony for CS Elligibles).

But this time, I got the notice just morning. It's a new policy putting all evaluation on a Saturday, a policy that I doubt is even carefully planned out, and haven't been put into memo yet, and YET, it'll be effective tomorrow. I mean, who the heck in their right minds would do such crazy ideas, making a policy out of nowhere and immediately takes effect on the day it's created. It affects everything: the environment, the employees, and most specially, the admin-employee relationship. I'm really really frustrated. But I can't do anything, I'M JUST AN EMPLOYEE!!!!

Back when I was in college, and was frustrated, I'm gonna tell my roommates, "Inom ta, ako palit" (Let's drink, my treat). Sometimes, we actually did that, but most of the time, they'd comfort me in a different way: listen to me, telling funny stories, and even going out and have dinner or just some "gimik". Now that we're all busy, we can't go out anymore like we usually did.

So what's my solution now? Cry a little, call my husband (who never failed to comfort me), play online games, surf the net, and sing with the music on my officemate's speaker. So boring. But let's me forget of my frustrations.

*sigh
I hate this kind of system.

Our Little Vacation

I was really happy that I was together with my husband even for just 4 days. I really missed him so much.

Anyway, from the day we arrived in Kidapawan, we were taking some shots. I've uploaded the pictures in my multiply account.

Click on the pictures to follow the link. I've divided the pictures by date. Have fun viewing them:

April 10, 2008:

When we arrived, my son was still asleep. So we decided to leave first and order his cake for his birthday the following day. When we went home, he's already awake. He saw his father, and was giving him a big glare. We thought he was thinking "Kinsa man ning tawhana na ni, karon lang ko kita ani?" (who is this guy, I've just him now?) But later in the afternoon, my son's already playing with his Dad.

April 11, 2008: My son's birthday.

The cake arrived earlier than what I told the Caterer, so we've seen it before we left. Anyway, it was Myles's schedule for Chickenpox vaccine. When left at 10:00am, but the physician arrived at her clinic at around 11:00am. Good thing I called in the morning, we were the first to be called.

Myles was injected with the vaccine, and was really crying hard even when I still laid him in the small bed. But the crying stopped when we left the clinic. When we arrived home, everything was ready. We only have few guests since we just invided the kids in the neighborhood. There's not a lot of kids there. And because there were few guests, there were a lot of left-overs.

April 12, 2008: My niece's Christening

Ira Edlyn's Christening. We went to the chapel (San Vicente Ferrer) and attended the mass. In the middle of the mass was the Christening. There were 3 kids baptized that day, one of them was my Sister's new baby. After the mass, the priest ate at my Sister's house, we're also there..hehehe.

April 13, 2008: Family Sunday

My father's getting his car tuned up so all of them accompanied him here in Davao. So Joemelle, Myles, and I were the only ones left. We left to church in the morning, but Myles was still asleep. He woke up after the communion.

Anyway, after the mass, we went to the parlor to have his first haircut: a skinhead. And believe me, after the haircut, he really looked different. After the parlor, we went to the park and took some pictures. Since the sun was really up (it's almost 11am), we didn't stay there long. We decided to go to Jolibee. There, I was giving Myles some french fries, but as I put some catsup in my regular yum, he wanted to take a bite, so I shared it to him.

After Jolibee, we went home. My husband washed the dishes while I look after Myles, he slept again a while later.

Well, that's just part of what happened in our weekend. All in all, my husband and Myles were happy, and I'm glad.

Celebration

My husband's coming home tonight. weeeee...that's one thing to celebrate about.

Second is....my son's turning one this Friday. I want to celebrate the one year and not to mention, the nine months, of surviving this world. Survive is a big word, people wouldn't understand why use such big word. But husband does...hehehehe.

Anyway, kudos to my son! I'm proud of him even now.

"THE" Anime

It's THE anime that started it all. Yu Yu Hakusho I mean. I first watched a movie on Yu Yu Hakusho, the one with the five gates, being shown in ABS-CBN. And after watching it, my passion for anime started.

Well, GMA 7 started the series weeks after the movie in ABS-CBN. And since then, I've watched every single episode of Yu Yu Hakusho (Ghost Fighter in GMA). Back then, I've known the characters as Eugene, Alfred, Dennis, Vincent, Jeanny, Susie, Sharlene, Mikaela, Jericho, and Master Jeremiah. I was a high school student, but I've always imagined myself living in their world. That was my fantasy, my "fairy tale". And I never got over it. My passion continues with other anime like Weiss Kreuz (Knight Hunters), Fushigi Yuugi, The Slayers, Naruto, etc. etc. etc. Well, up until now, I still love watching these anime, and I still fantasize being in their shoes. I even have my own created anime charater in some of these series.

Anyway, no matter how many anime launches, Yu Yu Hakusho is my all time favorite. And because of that, I bought a DVD of complete episodes. I watched it day and night, whenever I have the time. And even though I've seen the series a lot of times, I still got the chills in most of the episodes, like watching them for the very first time. I love the anime.

So why am I telling it right now? That's because just this morning, I've finished watching the last episode of the entire Yu Yu Hakusho (yes, I've watched all 112 episodes). Funny, even though I knew the ending, I still had the chills and excitement. Finally, I still had the feeling of contentment after finishing the series. And I know from the bottom of my heart, I will never got bored of watching it over and over again. To Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Heie, Keiko, Shizuro, Yukina, Buton, Koenma, and Master Genkai, my support and love of anime will always be for you.
