Since things are still in limbo in my own workplace, I might as well grab the opportunity of getting myself out of all off the hype and be somewhere else. I texted Catherine for help and she was very much willing to take me with her in her work out of town.

Having to live a life of a med rep made me appreciate the work and how hard these guys are doing their job. Its never a bad thing to also learn some rep lingo such as "balikan", "sleeping" and "ins" and "outs". It was interesting to eavesdrop to their conversations while still trying to digest "consciousness" and "presence" from Ekhart Tolle's "A New Earth". <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-MstUOr_5hQzts1TF3AvHkl65885NLxy8gTO6LiBUuBGVqqKRUmFNDmSHnWJe4nN9045FIim7D33QfjmtsTcwcKk7bp5t5oc9jknZ9tvy8WqTCfcaa2ka6ikrHHepm-oxEVOcJX5i8FY/s1600-h/2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-MstUOr_5hQzts1TF3AvHkl65885NLxy8gTO6LiBUuBGVqqKRUmFNDmSHnWJe4nN9045FIim7D33QfjmtsTcwcKk7bp5t5oc9jknZ9tvy8WqTCfcaa2ka6ikrHHepm-oxEVOcJX5i8FY/s400/2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359243161363198402" border="0" /></a>Tat felt sleepy on our way back so I tried reading to her some pages.

You see, my phone has this password feature that you could keep your pictures, music and messages safe from potential scandal providers. Now this feature can be accessed in the phone settings which also includes PIN check and Phone Lock. I got it all messed up and ended up changing the PIN... thrice. Then the worst thing happened to a prepaid subscriber who has not kept his PUK. I have definitely lost the battle. It was like my adrenaline was maximized and woke me up from my then stupid state to the sad reality that I will not be able to use the number anymore. I searched the web for consolation, called up their hot line with the person on the other line not even trying to keep his American twang (since he's sure he takes local consumers). <br /><br />I have had a quite similar experience (does losing a phone count?) with the other network and they were able to give me a new SIM but I retained my phone number with it. This network, on the other hand, said they don't "recycle" numbers. I was just making the person on the other line realize that it would be quite tedious on my part to get another SIM and tell my more than 500 contacts that I have just changed number. I got a "just-read-this-line-if-the-consumer-is-annoying" response saying "We are very sorry about that, sir... Blah, blah, blah." My efforts were futile. <br /><br />The next day, I was in the mall trying to figure out if I my new number would have a 6 on it (I just think its a lucky number for me). It didn't.<br /><br />And then the sad attempt to let all 500 know about how one day I was reckless started.Inkversifiedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12690021850800240268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856600511192106825.post-31499366029730426762009-07-06T19:05:00.000-07:002009-07-06T19:06:41.521-07:00something about coldplay makes me want me to listen to them<div style='padding:3px; border:1px solid #FF6600; border-bottom:0px; width:310px'><object width='310' height='259'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/dvgZkm1xWPE&rel=1'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/dvgZkm1xWPE&rel=1' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='310' height='259'></embed></object></div><object width='300' height='180'><embed src='http://widget.lyricsmode.com/i/scroll2.swf?lid=663856&speed=4' width='318' height='181' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'/></embed></object><br><a href='http://www.lyricsmode.com' target='_blank'>Lyrics</a> | <a href='http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/coldplay/' target='_blank'>Coldplay lyrics</a> - <a href='http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/coldplay/viva_la_vida.html' target='_blank'>Viva La Vida lyrics</a>Inkversifiedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12690021850800240268noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856600511192106825.post-57342528533737770182009-06-25T09:17:00.000-07:002009-07-10T09:42:57.581-07:00sesqui nightXavier University celebrated the sesquicentennial (150 years) celebration of the return of the Jesuits to the Philippines.

Never had the chance after that last day in school. Its been what --- years and I can still say to myself that I never got that chance to move on and work my way out of this situation. This might just sound so absurd and meaningless for you. This was never what you thought it would be. I am stupid not to have done anything about it. I can't always make you an excuse, as I have always done. It has been very convenient on my part and yet it hasn't been helping me grow. I have to give up the role I have labeled you. This is not good for the both of us.<br /><br />Just today, I bumped into something I shouldn't have gotten into. But then I did because I wanted to know how it was for you to be loved. I discovered all the bitter pills I need to take.<br /><br />I need to get to the next page of my life. I need to write and continue exploring what life awaits for me. I have been always breathing in and not breathing out.<br /><br />In the next few pages, I will let go of you.Inkversifiedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12690021850800240268noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856600511192106825.post-5561760856495297842009-05-22T03:33:00.000-07:002009-05-23T04:12:53.602-07:00tabemasho!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuF0vtt1GO0D_WHRJIbW2GdnwAAppVkBZMke5JPDQ2MkTgyROUf_I0xr6KS1qd-ReO2Qv2Y0HHYlBSf3EOC3TV0DwOm_X3hodNCG7vRO8lD09ub5zOgNRE6AmlH9WjHTel7-7nRzpdSSU/s1600-h/DSC03294.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuF0vtt1GO0D_WHRJIbW2GdnwAAppVkBZMke5JPDQ2MkTgyROUf_I0xr6KS1qd-ReO2Qv2Y0HHYlBSf3EOC3TV0DwOm_X3hodNCG7vRO8lD09ub5zOgNRE6AmlH9WjHTel7-7nRzpdSSU/s400/DSC03294.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338970466011162162" border="0" /></a>Teriyaki Boy opened in SM City Cagayan de Oro and if you have been to their other stores you would realize it has a different feel. A little reseach reveals that Teriyaki Boy hired Kuni Philippines to redesign and update the store ambiance. It feels more like a resto than a fastfood shop.

Although they was suppose to the be a transport strike (which I never actually felt that day) I still was able to go and good thing Myki (unexpectedly) was also there. Although I'm not very good at getting along with new people, I was able to know and be acquainted with fellow educators both young and veteran.<br /><br />The almost whole day brain cracking session made us come up with activities for the whole year.

A student of mine handed me a book that looked bloated I never realized it was mine. "But, what happened? This was definitely not in this condition before." I blurted my quick response. Seeing me disappointed, the student said his apologies. He was not the person who I lent my Dan Brown's Angels and Demons, he actually got it and made the mistake of getting it wet - a worse thing you could do with a paperback (there are a lot of other ways - like burning it). He was actually waiting for the hand of God (my hand for the matter, considering that I could have made his school life worse for this simple mistake of ruining my book) to punish him but I don't remember doing anything like that. I considered it more as an accident. I just remember how disappointing it felt that day. I even thought of getting myself a new copy (which I never did since I still have the bloated paperback with me).<br /><br />I always thought this story was better than that story about a codex that "shook" the world (how come? there isn't even a key?) . While reading it, I even had a scene in mind where the camerlengo encourages everyone to pray (I hope I am not going to be disappointed this time).<br /><br />Why Ewan? No offense, I don't have anything against this guy. I must say this guy has talent! (no pun intended) when he did Moulin Rogue, The Pillowbook and Starwars. I just had someone else in mind.<br /><br />Anticipating for its opening in cinemas, I was thinking of reading the book once more.<br /><br />Oh, the kid failed to graduate that year and I have absolutely nothing to do with it or was it because of the book.

The way to the Learning Center in Zone 12 Upper Carmen was a bit challenging and we had to some uphill walking. We got very excited to see that there were many kids waiting for us that morning.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76gXPWVJO6P2S8TC8hjhINZpHphu4cuLRzeIr5VmfvpTNWSd4e16VKJZk7eIaa1JDKOqzEQUsrln18gwWFWy3vwwH5VLhQOY0KoTxZ6fG-qjUMHWlrq4DdFZdvVy5ug93yWCqamaaRDI/s1600-h/3.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76gXPWVJO6P2S8TC8hjhINZpHphu4cuLRzeIr5VmfvpTNWSd4e16VKJZk7eIaa1JDKOqzEQUsrln18gwWFWy3vwwH5VLhQOY0KoTxZ6fG-qjUMHWlrq4DdFZdvVy5ug93yWCqamaaRDI/s400/3.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327837493806477058" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJFtwCJSqj7ju_G9907i1MPNUGlK56zrdrw3FposgfA4r0uE3A9x3hZP5LfzgeCUSYANGtfodIX_nOGLn2-5uA_tjqiLoIOEPcTvbO6kmgPk52tkUaq3iCaTdEhOYnk3HkGpRGOUzQe4E/s1600-h/4.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJFtwCJSqj7ju_G9907i1MPNUGlK56zrdrw3FposgfA4r0uE3A9x3hZP5LfzgeCUSYANGtfodIX_nOGLn2-5uA_tjqiLoIOEPcTvbO6kmgPk52tkUaq3iCaTdEhOYnk3HkGpRGOUzQe4E/s400/4.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327834528420306274" border="0" /></a><br />I got to share with them the story of the Three Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Call it a miracle, I was never grumpy when they woke me up even if I slept at around 2am. I didn't even doze off while we traveled from the city to El Salvador where the 50 foot Shrine of the Divine Mercy stands and overlooks the Macajalar Bay.<br /><br />There were already a lot of people so we decided to stay where we could still breathe air (that says a lot about the pictures). The mass songs naturally echoed through the hills and made me sing (wait, it made me sing... the repertoire is so familiar) I sms (sorry) Jake -<br /><br />"Are you at the Divine Mercy Shrine? Are you conducting the choir today?"<br /><br />There was something about the mass (the people and the sacrament) that made the event solemn. I just appreciated Msgr. Monsanto's sermon that sounds more like a classroom lecture which comes complete with a ppt presentation (hey, if you want to learn more about your religion, might as well get it from a "teacher", right?).<br /><br />I tried to get my way around the shrine (I had my camera with me, that was my excuse) to take some shots around. Again, the mass overwhelms me with their reverence. It wasn't the Malasag bedlam I had in mind minutes before we arrived.<br /><br />An hour ago it was still dark with the stars and the moon above us, an hour later the sun bathed everyone as it rose from the bay.<br /><br />When we left, a family friend we tagged along said something about the mass and how it felt good having it to start the day. That made me think I haven't been attending masses early morning. Something about starting the day right, I guess. <br /><br />After the mass Jake replied with a "Yap. How was it?"<br /><br />I said "It was lovely, it was so familiar. Afar, I could see the conductor's hand move I swear it was you."<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGfuhtt-v59NNWgUfq89h5RsFjuA7W62cRssH46zDxGJ5UDZNAoWILnVq5a04Y2dBp6XYh-vB_xbs-DXVxhS-UTG_s0rr-SL97Q9wz6K-YuvmZ4sMOf4CqlkBqVgwL1VFZU_jfPOezFfU/s1600-h/3.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGfuhtt-v59NNWgUfq89h5RsFjuA7W62cRssH46zDxGJ5UDZNAoWILnVq5a04Y2dBp6XYh-vB_xbs-DXVxhS-UTG_s0rr-SL97Q9wz6K-YuvmZ4sMOf4CqlkBqVgwL1VFZU_jfPOezFfU/s400/3.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326258642831618530" border="0" /></a>Inkversifiedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12690021850800240268noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856600511192106825.post-63640464245223999242009-04-14T04:51:00.000-07:002009-04-14T05:10:32.101-07:00future readsI havent been reading lately. Would someone please recommend me a good book to read? Yes, I have some books unread or half-finished but there is something about just having a new book (smell the fresh crisp paper) and what new adventure it holds in store for the reader. I was going over the old books I have in the library and I have this volume 1 of a 1959 hardbound book "A Treasury of Great Science Fiction" which had short stories of fiction writers who have the eye for what the feature has in store. It has with it a story by Philip K. Dick which was odd because it involved aliens (recall: Men in Black - the farm guy whose body was used as a skin by an alien? yeah, that one)<div><br /></div><div>Microsoft has presented what it thinks the world will be in 2019. Now so far distant future. Please dont tell me you dont see some similarites with Minority Report (which in fact was also by Dick)<br /><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:Arial;font-size:10px;"><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rxVS5nYFnkA&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rxVS5nYFnkA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></span><br /></div></div>Inkversifiedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12690021850800240268noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856600511192106825.post-36127247321430139112009-04-13T09:32:00.000-07:002009-04-12T10:07:01.939-07:00things to discover<div>Okay, Discovery Channel is where I would usually stop and be a couch potato when I have the remote in my hands (though its not the only channel I get to dwell). Well, the world is really awesome and everyday you get to learn more and more things about it. So what if some things are not as necessary for you to live by, but then again, it would'nt hurt to know about things, right? </div><div><br /></div><div>MythBusters is just such a great watch that every episode is never a bore. Adam and Jamie try all these myths, urban beliefs and legends etc (things we just hear or even talk about but dont try to really verify it) and try to make it work to see if they are busted or confirm. Grant is such a great guy in the show with his knowledge of robotics. Tori and Kari have also been coming out with their own investigation and probing to some myths, and they even learn from what viewers have to say and do them again.</div><div><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjESAlcFX7dGPrSuWydpNKl96mA1aMqs7I34PEeb670W1yWz5wHcw32RrcqN7O1cNv97dcF9TaA7Vtti05tgisakm9F0v4uiX89J1goPoQdnTNiRHmVkou3lNokVLTy6mEoPhCweEYF36k/s400/mythbusters-episodes.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 264px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323843896490118498" /><div><br /></div><div>Whether in a forest or a desert, Bear Grylls seems to survive every time with his skills and techniques in Man vs Wild.
