Advanced Happy Valentines to all!

We are now approaching the month of February, the month of love, they say, but what is so magical  is that, in this month, we are actually celebrating Valentines. Every February 14, people were so busy making love letters, buying heart shape chocolates, flowers and other kinds of stuff related to love. Cake shops and romantic restaurants will once again be loaded with romantic dates and wedding proposals. Some of the people, especially those who are single (including me) will tend to celebrate it with friends, crushes and family. Valentines is not all about lovers but also to those people who gave you love and people who have importance to you. This year will be a "unique" valentines for me. I will be working on that day (as an OJT) and I'm happy because I will not be bothered about some dating. Since I was a single right now, I don't have plans of dating or going out with someone. I will be focusing on my duty and will be enjoying some free games on the internet. I'm hoping that by next year, 2012, Valentine's day will not be the same again. 

P.S

Dear Ms. Not Perfect, Not Right but Real,

   I'm waiting for your arrival, see you on Valentine's 2012 .... :D

Enjoying my training..

Last November 29, 2010, I started my first duty as an OJT in a company here in Cebu. It was Monday back then, a holiday but since the company observes the American calendar, they celebrate holiday's opposite to the Philippine calendar. It was so refreshing for me since it's my first OJT where I actually have my own PC. My first OJT was located somewhere in Punta Princesa, Labangon and I was in charged of the filing. It was very hard for me since I'm an Information Technology student and I do it manually. It was the most tiring work I ever made in my entire life. I hate filing and paperworks, I must say, but thanks, I still enjoyed my first OJT with the help of my supervisor and the tellers (it was a bank actually). They made my stay there a memorable one. I can't forget the free snacks in the afternoon and the funny moments with the tellers. I stayed there for approximately 4 months. Since then, I got busy and I forgot to communicate to them but they are still in my contacts. I'm just shy and kinda hesitant to give them a private message. 

Let's go back to my present training. I was accepted as an OJT in a growing BPO/ Web-site developer company (due to restricted orders, I intended to hide the company's name). It was good. The place gives me a new flavor and the tasks I'm doing is really related to my course. My supervisor were very kind and understanding. I'm a SEO by the way at that company. I do stuff to rank a certain website. As of now we are focusing on link-building (blog commenting, blog submission, directory submission, and classified submission). We also do ranking reports. 

So far, so good. I'm enjoying every second of my stay at that company and I'm very happy that I saw a company where I can used my skills and course.

Samahan ng Malalamig ang Pasko member!

This year, I will be celebrating my Christmas as a single person. For the past 2 years, I'm celebrating my Christmas with my girlfriend(which I mentioned in my previous posts) who eventually now, my ex-girlfriend. Even if she's gone in my arms, I'm still happy because she is happy and in a good condition. Me, I'm still recovering from the pain but with the help of my friends and family, I'm now okay than the previous months.

SMP or Samahan ng Malalamig ang Pasko was the common title of the people who don't have relationships(special) especially on Christmas but I don't eventually consider myself one of them, why? because I have my family and friends. They make my Christmas warmer than ever. It doesn't mean that if you don't have any girlfriend or boyfriend, you will have a sad Christmas or having one will guarantee a happy and lively Christmas, it's not. Christmas is a time of being happy because Christ, our savior, was born. It's His birthday and the main focus of this celebration is Him. Even if with or without a girlfriend or a boyfriend.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Spread the love!

Christmas Party

It's officially 4 days before Christmas and I'm kinda excited. Many gifts, great foods, gatherings, and most especially, long holiday but for this year, It will not be in a long holiday since I have to be on duty for my on the job training. Last December 18,2010, We, with my classmates, celebrated our last Christmas Party since some of us will have our commencement on March 2011. It's a triple dilemma for me because it's also the birthday of my mom and the Christmas Party also of the company where I served my training.  I chose to be on the school Christmas Party. I asked permission to my mom and to the company also. I chose to be with my classmates since it's the last and also, I spent the whole afternoon with my mom. Even if I'm not on the "celebration" itself for her birthday, still, i love my mom. She knows that.

The party started at 6:00pm sharp but some of my classmates didn't arrive yet. So, our class president, decided to start the party even without them because majority of us are already hungry(including me..hehe). Compare to last year's party, It was the unusual party ever. It's kinda gloomy and silent. We just ate, have some chitchats like the ordinary days, taking some stolen shots and laugh out loud on those unpleasant faces taken. For me, it's a normal party. Not so thrilling and not so fun. But I'm still happy seeing majority of my friends. They, for a fact, completed every single day of my life.

It's also the first party ever where I cried like a child. My "manita" gave me an unpleasant undergarment and I was so very upset because they have taken me a video where I'm in the act of opening the said gift, wrapped with 3 boxes and a round shape tissue. I can't explain what I feel because of that but I don't have hard feelings for my manita. They explained what happened after that and eventually she gave me my real gift. I learned some things on that incident and I will keep that forever.

After the party, around 8:00 o'clock in the evening, we had our post-party celebration at Fuente Rotonda. It's a tradition for our batch to have the post-party at the Fuente where we will have some relaxing time, watching the big Christmas tree and sat on the bermuda grasses. We pose for some pictures, lots of pictures. It was enjoyable. I enjoyed the post-party even if I was very tired.

I hope someday, It will happen again even if we will have our separate lives after we graduated our college years..

Go Batch 2010-2011 of ACT- Information Technology!..

P.S.

I will post some of the pictures from our Christmas Party on my next post...

Practicing Photography via a small digital camera...

Photography is very close to my heart since I love to take pictures and also my ex girlfriend's influence. I want to take still pictures and love to hear nice compliments from the people who saw my pictures. Since I was a kid, I'm dreaming to have my personal camera. Well, my uncle from Australia gave us an SLR camera but at that time, I don't know how to manipulate such kind of a camera. When I graduated my high school years, I asked my uncle (the cousin of my father) to gave me a digital camera. He gave me one. It was bought in Japan and was made in the year of 2003. It small and it has less functionality but I still gave thanks. Yes, I already have my camera for 1 year now but my camera is deteriorating now. I was sad about it but I can still manage to take pictures but the quality is not that good anymore. I'm planning to have a DSLR (digital single lens reflex camera)if eventually I get a job after graduation and pursue my ambition of becoming a professional photographer.

Here are my sample pictures taken from my digital camera:

Artificial flower taken using macro setting

my pet Potchie taken using automatic setting

SUMILON ISLAND: Quiet yet amazing!

Last summer of 2010 (April 2010), I went to Oslob,Cebu for the second time around. Oslob is the province of my relatives on the father side. Oslob is so refreshing for me since I grew up in the city. The air is clean and the people are very nice, friendly and smiling. Oslob also is the province where my ex girlfriend resides that's why I was curious about the place.

I traveled from the city via a small car called "multicab". It was my uncle (my father's cousin) who drove the car. We traveled approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes since it has less traffic compared to the city. I stayed at Barangay Tan-awan where my uncle also resides. Barangay Tan-awan is far from the municipality or main barangay of Oslob which is the barangay Poblacion. After Barangay Tan-awan is the barangay Bangcogon where the relatives of my father resides. It's a walking distance actually. I enjoyed the scenery of Oslob but the lifestyle of the Oslobanons are so simple that why I came to appreciate more the place.

My auntie, my uncle's sister, invited me to go to Sumilon Island which I only heard from my parents. We ride in to a pump boat or what you called in bisaya as "bangka". Since my auntie know the guy from the "bangka" so we ride in for free(hehehe..since we are also relatives). When I reached the island the only word I say was "WOW!"..The island is so great. The sand, the blue waters..everything! but unfortunately, we didn't reached the top of the island since it has a payment for head but the allowed public place is still beautiful.

The above pictures were taken by me from the trip I had in the island. I only allowed to take at the allowed public place.

The day I came out of the closet....

First of all I would like to say that it's not easy to be me. I have to hide what really inside me and who I really am. I belong to a society called "third sex". Yes, I'm one of them and it's hard for me to hide it from my family. I've been carrying the burden almost 13 years until such day I gain courage to tell to my mother what inside me. With the help of the breakup ,with my girlfriend which I state in my previous post that I had a hidden relationship with her, I decided to tell my mother that I'm a lesbian. Yes, I said to her at last with tears in my eyes flowing, I can't imagine I said the thing that I hide almost 13 years. My mother was disappointed since I'm her only daughter but she accepted me.

I love you mom! Thanks for accepting me and for caring for me...
