Board Exam 2011

It's been more than 7 months since our deadly Metallurgical Engineers Board Examination; where out of 40 examiners, 33 successful young minds passed the exam.

I have received a lot of blessings since then. A LOT.

About a week after our Oath Taking, I started my work as a Management Engineer Trainee at Philippine Associated Smelting and Refining Corporation (PASAR Corp.). The training lasted for 6 months, which passed by so quickly. By February, after our training, we were assigned at our respective departments where we would be extending our service for the next years. We have to stay in the company for at least 2 years--BOND.

With my work here at PASAR, I was able to help my family, financially. Despite missing them and a lot of other close acquaintances in Manila, I accepted the work here. Well, it's my choice. Even though my parents somehow disagreed with me taking up higher studies (which was my greatest desire while in college) and encouraging me to have an "experience" first, it was still my decision. I can't blame them. Any result of my decision I made last year would be under my accountability. I think grad studies would be out of my plans na..
=(( [not yet sure]

Anyway highway, why did we arrive there?hahaha

Well, I just wanted to post these articles I have seen in the internet.
The following are just some blessings for me and an inspiration for others, I hope.

Published in People's Journal:

Truly, college life is not easy. I'm done with my 5 years in undergraduate schooling. I'm not sure if I'll be pursuing graduate studies in the next years.

I hope my younger bros (who are bugoys) will also excel in any field that they love. I won't be forcing them to take up Engineering also, any course that they want, I will support them.=)

Hope I would continually be an inspiration to other people. I just have to be myself (who I really am) and be the best that I can be. I'm sure, that's what matters the most.

Have a nice day.^_^

Tac-Mla-Tac ticket

Remember my post the other day?

Where I stressed at the end of my post that I will be spending my Holy Week here at Isabel, Leyte?

Well, sometimes girls change their mind suddenly because they realize that they made their decision too quickly. That's what happened to me the moment I published my post last time.

Despite having my decision written down, I still felt something that pushes me to think about it all over again: what would I be doing there? will my travel expenses compensate the things I'll be doing there? would my vacation at Manila be all worth it? Et cetera.

During the night that same day, while consulting my peers, my initial decision was slowly fading away and my desire to go to Manila was strengthened. I wanted to book a ticket that same moment, but I can't so I waited till the next day.

Early morning the next day, I did it. I booked a round trip ticket: Tac-Mla-Tac. At lunch, I went to the municipal proper to pay the booking but the people at the establishment said that their cut-off time for payments is 1100H. I pleaded them to accept my payment since it's the only time of the day that I can go out from the Plant. They did not accept my payment and advised me to ask someone to pay at the other branches. I did not feel sapot coz I know someone could help me: Moms!

I immediately texted Moms to pay my booking at Manila. I sent to Moms my supposed payment thru a money courier so she'd have money to pay for my ticket.

In less than an hour, Moms texted me the confirmation # of my ticket and Voila! Welcome to Manila! =))

How fast does a girl changes her mind? I also don't know the answer. 

I would just like to advise the people out there:

Be cautious in dealing with girls coz even I don't know how their mind goes.=))

Holy Week

Di na lang sa ko muoli karong Holy Week sa Manila.

Wala mi pasok from 5 April to 9 April 2012.

That would be paid holidays..

Nakakuha na ako ng ticket sa Cebu Pacific, I'll just have to pay the bill at LBC later.

But I felt something ganiha, which made me finalize my decision na sa June na lang ko muoli.

Ig June, medyo dugay ang akong ma-file nga leave. Maka-tigom pa ko para sa kaarawan ng akong inahan.

Now it is written: I will be spending my Holy Week here at Isabel, Leyte.


I'll just have to think of something that will make my 5 days of no work productive.
Can you suggest something?=)
