december thoughts

hmm, the last time i made an entry was early december. to start with, me and my wife were chosen as one of the principal sponsors for the monsanto-vinluan nuptials held at the st francis the assisi parish in balamban, cebu last dec 08 ‘09. it’s an important affair for both me and my wife because we were about to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary.

we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary by attending a mass at sta. lucia parish church in sta. lucia, asturias. we took the kids there and ate at the road side near the public plaza at the asturias proper. some anniversary, but worthy to remember. ten years of trials and triumphs, ups and downs, thick and thin. the best and the worst is yet to come, but we could brace it this time.

the cebeco3 affair was a should say a good affair, with minor system hang-ups it did pushed through. did not join our departments christmas party at talisay city for it coincides with the cebeco3 affair. also the crew did move their christmas party the next day just to gave way for the affair. as usual, the party was okey and a lot of fun. most of the personnels brought in their family to witness the fun.

right now, we are still trying to recover from our slump in our ratings. am still wishing that the balamban cable problem would be rectified. half baked resolution to the fault orders were the order of the day. i just wished that it would be over so that we could move on with our daily tasks. i know, this would lead to repercussions and consequences even if there is a valid reason to it. still it is my responsibility and it is part of my area. just wishing or wish ko lang! we still have a few days left before the month ends, prepare for the worst and hope for the best. a job is a job and i still have a job to do.

as for my hp, just uploaded some songs to the new playlist taken form songs in my hp. just the same old stuff, nothing new.

typhoon

last week’s typhoon was somewhat a trip down memory lane. since last tuesday until last friday, my youngest kid didn’t have classes due to the flooded school driveway of the wblc. water was up to waist deep. we were able to take my daughter last wednesday but only to be notified an hour later that classes have been suspended due to rising water at the driveway. it was just knee high when we came in and past waistline when i came back to fetch my daughter. no one was allowed to go inside the school premises. instead we were told to wait at cebeco3 stock yard. two buses went inside the school grounds to ferry the students, as per instructions by the city administrator. who happens to see the whole situation. my daughter was at the 2nd bus, she didn’t know i was there waiting.

couldn’t help but recall the time when i was at kinder school. a typhoon lashed cebu province then and i was attending at asms in lutopan, toledo city. all the students were told to go home and would ride the buses destined to various drop-off points in toledo. for toledo, there are two buses, one for sangi-beach area and another for luray-ilihan area. i took the sangi-beach bus instead of the usual luray-ilihan bus. i was fetch at around 2pm by my cousin at my classmates house at acmdc sangi-beach compound. my classmate’s name is nimrod nazarito l. quiñones. we lost communication after kinder school when i was transferred to then c.a., now the cctc. we were able to communicate again in high school when his mother joined the teaching force of the uv-tgc. he was studying then at up-cc and joined the pma after high school but left the pma and continued his studies at usc-main. after college, he joined the freeman newspaper and now he is the managing editor of the said newspaper.

well, i’m happy for my friend and what he is now. come to think of it, time fly so fast and very fast indeed! one day, you’re at kinder school getting wet by the typhoon and the next thing you know, you’re worried about your kid also at kinder school being trapped in their school because the school’s driveway was flooded up to waist deep.

no wonder, white colored hairs starts to pop-up at my head. arrggggggg.

right now, i’m listening to manic street preachers on my hp. i just deleted other older playlist and songs on my hp.

under neon loneliness, motorcycle emptiness. under neon loneliness, motorcycle emptiness! sorry couldn’t help it, nice song really.

another thought

a woman’s best friend.

just this mid month of november, i bought my wife something she was longing for. not the high-end but something that she likes. for me, i never thought that i would be buying her what we call a woman’s best friend. since i was a bachelor, i kept on thinking if i would ever one day would be able to buy such a thing. then, out of the blue it did happen. you should have seen the look in her eyes when she wore it. even up to this moment, i was still amazed on that event. it did happen and i did it. come to think of it, life is full of twist and surprises. life’s little wonders.

now back to my hp update, i just loaded a charlatans playlist. a greatest hits compilation of sorts. and also i loaded a playlist called triad, a mixture of artist that i like and put them together. i’m also planning to put up again my jesus and mary chain compilation. just to find my mp3 files of that said artist this time.

talk about my mp3 files, now where did i put it?

ajji’s b-day

just celebrated ajji’s 9th birthday yesterday. damn, time flies so fast and he’s 9 years old. i could still clearly see him shivering in cold when he was shown to me by the nurse at the cebu community hospital, 9 years ago. in a year he’ll be a teenager and he’ll on his own world by then. well, we’re still here to guide him through thick and thin. just hoping and praying that he’ll be a good person, not only to the both of us but the society as well.

what more a father could ask, other than his kids well being and good character.

nagging thought

always wondered if when the so-called laying out of the cable for the cebeco affair would be finished? hope dondon and his team would be present tomorrow, so we can do it once and for all.

been pondering about what transpired during our last emergency meeting at the office. was there something cooking in the air? i dunno, it’s a wait and see situation. while waiting, all i could do is do my job which i am paid to do. ’til that day comes, a job is still a job that needs to be done. as mr george boronat would say, ” i know it’s a lousy job, but somebody has do it!”. sure thing, right on!

and now to my old hp, just downloaded “strays”  by jane’s addiction and haven’t loaded it yet to my hp yet. damn! hate that part but it’s worth it! maybe i’ll also load the cult’s album, just forget the  title. uh huh! i’m getting ooooooold!

just kidding! he, he, he!

just a thought

last sunday 10-25-2009, my daughters school had their school family day along with their uno day and the end of their rosary month celebration. my daughter, dressed in chinese outfit was so very eager to come. me and the rest of the family came along, wherein we participated in the opening ceremony but wasn’t able to finished the affair due to sweltering heat of the sun. we just proceed to the church, in time for the 10am mass.

well, at least my daughter had participated and felt what it’s like. not the whole affair though.

day’s work

Riverfenix - 08 - Ordinary World

just happy this morning, when i was called by edgar inajada(one of my imediate superiors) regarding the toledo power corporation broken pole issue. he instructed me to do what is necessary to close the issue, and i did just that. i called up the toledo power corporation personnel to be contacted and asked him if they could allow all our field crews(both osp and sli) to do their thing inside their compound without being hampered by that half-day safety seminar. can’t help but to snicker on the very thought about that seminar. some things are better left unsaid.

in our conversation, i had a chance to insert on an issue about a pesky landowner in the nearby town regarding his request to contact the osp department-maintainance. i was given the green light and i gave the contact number. any reason why i shouldn’t be smiling. for weeks on end this pesky guy would follow-up in a way that would crumple your day.  i understand as to why this guy gets a little pesky, he has been making his request since august 2009 and it is october 2009. damned those osp crews for prolonging the issue.

as for the osp works, the broken pole has been replaced(this i have to verify!), the foc near our rsm has been re-routed, and the buanoy, balamban cable relocation(copper and foc) has been started(only waiting for the cable crew to do the re-routing). so happy to think about it, but new ones kept on coming. i wonder when will this people stopped making such requests.

for my hp music, i get a little bored with my current music playlist. i’m still thinking on what to upload. maybe, nobody nobody but you! ngek!
