really weird

0 comments | Tuesday, April 17, 2007

The following are the feelings that linger in my mind lately.
1. I’m not satisfied with the job that I do. Working 5-6 hours a day is really appealing to others but as a young professional I really would like to experience the usual working hours. (Yeah I know what you are thinking! I’m kinda weird!)
2. The stress I’m experiencing at work is quite lesser on what I’m expecting in the real world after college.
3. Living inside the Pisay compound is one of the things I really can’t stand right now. Besides with my problem with the dorm manager, I want to experience the hassle and bustle in the road. Experience the long lines in the MRT/LRT, paying up a jeepney fare and taking a tricycle before and after work. I’m planning to transfer in UP dorm next semester.
4. Now, I HATE FASTFOOD! Since I started working here in Manila, my problem everyday is where and what to eat during dinner. I don’t have any choice but to eat in McDo, Jollibee, Chowking, TokyoTokyo, Rodicks, Wendy’s, Burger King, Sbarro and all those ‘fake’ food shop in the malls. (Name it! I’ve tried it!)
5. I am not satisfied with the education I am getting right now in the UP College of Education. Or maybe I have a lot of expectation with the quality of instruction that I might have with my stay in the college. Or (again) maybe, the Edtech program needs a lot of reform and amendment. Or (this will be the last time I promise) maybe, I need to look for another school for my graduate studies or think of another program that will satisfy my expectations.
6. I need a faster laptop. I’m into graphic design right now and having a Microsoft Vista as my operating system it makes my laptop’s performance slower. I want to go back with the Windows 2000 OS (Better than XP )
7. Lastly, I realized that I am the one who make complications in my life. I always have the reason to be unsatisfied and discontented in what’s ongoing in my life. But indeed I have a great life compare to other 23 year old guy in town. I am always in a hurry. I am constantly evaluating every minute that happens in my life.

Now as I’m ending my 23rd year in this life, I really need to change and live life the best way possible. Enough of being technical and procedural. I am not an expert in living life but what I believe is that I must enjoy the life that God gave us. In the coming days I am ready to face different set of failures and disappointment. I am all set to battle the dangers of life. And lastly, I am prepared to experience a new set of experiences that will ruin or improve the life that I am living.

It’s quite a long time since I updated my blog. I planned not to update this blog till I’m not totally all right with the things that happen for the last few weeks. Since I am okay now, I’m hoping that I can update it even I’m on vacation.






March 30

It is our last day today for work but I still have a lot of paperworks and clearance requirements to accomplish before I can finally say that the school year has ended. Besides, I need to finish all those requirements so I can get my summer pay and other allowances on time. The best thing in being a teacher is that you are being paid even you don’t need to report for work for two months.

I thought that I will have an exact 2 month vacation but I need to go back in school after the Holy Week. Now I realized how stressful and demanding the Pisay administrators at the end of every school year. The government problem is still red tape. Redundant papers, forms, and reports report are just few of the things that make the process longer.

Hope that I’ll enjoy our unit outing this Monday and Tuesday in Palm Beach Resort in Laiya Beach San Juan, Batangas. It’s my third time in that place and I hope it is more relaxing and soothing this time. My problem with the place is not the accommodation and attraction but the prices that are lavishly that may be compare to Boracay and other high end tourist spots.

I’m very delighted with my new Dell laptop. I think that it is a great idea to buy it in Singapore rather than here. I went to SM Cyberzone and I asked the price of the same Dell Inspiron laptop that I have now and it cost 69K. Also, the pre-installed Microsoft Vista operating system is great! I’m planning to upgrade the laptop’s memory this summer.




April 2

The final project for my one of my graduate school class is somewhat successful. We never expected to have a unique exhibit from the previously planned typical photo exhibition. The project is the 2 day exhibit of the photographs we have taken during our Tanay trip last February. Some of my classmates have projected their pictures through video, overhead projectors, print in acetates, slide shows and the usual print photographs. Mine is somewhat a compilation of the pictures that I took during my Bolinao, Boracay, Tacloban and Tanay trip for the past months in poster type layouts. The exhibit was attended by the Dean of the College, professors and students of the College of Education. I’m expecting a 1.00 grade in this subject with the great feedbacks and comments that I got during the 2 day exhibit.

The Batangas outing is very relaxing and enjoyable. What I really like with the resort(The Palm Beach resort) is that the place is quite private. Also, the facilities and villas are somewhat comparable to the high end resorts in Boracay. The problem is the beach sand is not that smooth with big rocks all over the shore. We decided to go to a nearby resort (La Luz Beach resort) for swimming since it the shore there is relatively fine compare to Palm Beach.

April 6

We woke up early for the yearly reunion with my mom’s relative in Tarlac. It is the annual reunion for the Pineda clan and it is fairly not the same since some of my cousins didn’t came home to the province and one of my aunt just came from the hospital. We’re really worried to my aunt’s condition since what she is suffering now is quite the same as my mom and lola’s diabetes complications before they passed away last year. Since not many of my cousins came, we decided to spend the whole afternoon in a swimming pool in a nearby resort. I’m not that really closed with my relatives in my mother’s side since we only come home in Tarlac once or twice a year. But I’m really proud with my ‘promdi‘ cousins and nieces who’s some of them graduated and passed the board exam in such a young age of 20 and 21.
