The Merlion - Part 1

Just got back from my short trip to Singapore and Hongkong. It was my first time to visit Singapore and I can honestly say that I loved it there. The place is clean, REALLY clean. You'll never see garbage scattered on the street. From what I've heard, chewing gums are prohibited in Singapore, which probably explains why no ones selling them in convenience stores. Besides the place being clean, there are also a lot things that makes one's life convenient.

• Stop signs have digital counters that display how much time there is left before the lights will change
• All cabs have small lcd monitors that displays various information like what time you entered the cab, the fare, the name of the driver, customers who are waiting to be picked up, schedules of pick-up etc
• The buildings are inter-connected by underground walkways which also leads to the subway system that is so convenient for travelling around the country
• Subway tickets are proximity cards that require non-contact to the card readers - a staple for entry-exit in subway systems

Singapore is indeed very strict in implement and enforcing the law. They enforce strict road laws and regulations. A local told us that driver is only allowed a minimal number of violations given a period of time. If you exceed that number, you're license will either be suspended or revoked depending on the frequency of violations and you will have a hard time getting another.

The Journey - Year 3

Exactly 2 years ago, I was very excited for my first day at work. My first work that is. I was this college graduate who is very eager to venture into the IT corporate world. Then the rest is history......

Two years has passed (that was fast). Here I am, wondering. Was my stay in the company worth it? I can't help but ask myself. Am I really happy here? Is this the job that I really wanted? Questions like that are inevitable.... and at one point or the other, one must make a decision.

Tomorrow will be the start of my 3rd year in the IT corporate world. I wonder what things are in store for me. I hope for the best.

Just a quick blog..

Woah, mylast blog was on April! I've been really occupied for the past few months. Research is really eating a lot of my free time. Oh well.....

Worklessness....

It's Friday once again and is the last day of work. Yey! But on second thought, I that doesn't feel right. This ain't no "time flies when you're having fun" week. This past four days were like "oh shit! it's time to go home now and I haven't done anything yet". Simply put, I'm just not productive this past few days. And honestly, it has been like this for over a month now...as if I have a choice. I barely get much work assignments at all. It's not good I tell you. I don't feel like explaining but trust me, it's bad! (LOL, blogging during office hours =P)

No News is Good News

Don't you agree? Sometimes I feel its better that way. I heard terrible news as of late.

• A fire incident lasted for more than 12 hours yesterday. It's so sad that the entire family (except the eldest son who got married and moved out) was trapped inside the burning building. Only a miracle could have saved them.
• Another sad news from yesterday was the passing away of one of my dearest friend's dad. =( Though I haven't met her dad, I feel sorry for her loss. Its hard to lose one's dad.

I'll pray for them.

We live in a real world, so we must accept whatever hardships life may bring us. Many things are inevitable. We must not forget the memories or the lessons that they left us. A friend once said, being forgotten is worse than death. Grieve if you need to grieve. But after that, move on and live life to the fullest.

The Return of the Blogger: Episode 2

Its only mid-summer and its raining. =( I just hope it won't rain too often or else our summer outing will be ruined. We're finally going to Puerto Galera this week! Woohooooo!

Though I'm not too excited to go back there. Coz the last time I went there, I wasn't really that impressed. The beach, the sand, the corals were great though. But the accomodations where not that good but it was bearable. That's what you'll get for being cheap. LOL! It was airconditioned, has cable tv and a bathroom. We only needed a place to sleep and to keep our bags. I guess it was worth it.

The Return of the Blogger: Episode 1

In a galaxy far far away.... *stop the intro*

Before anything else, I'd like to say, "I'M BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!"

It's been like, a month now (wow that long huh?) since I left posted anything. The explanation is, first, I was having the Blog Paradox. Second, I was busy with my research. Third, I was playing Gunbound. Yeah yeah, "busy with research" and I find time to play LOL! How ironic isn't it? Well you need to start practicing multitasking. =D Fourth, I got work too you know. If you may not know, I'm one of the millions of people who work infront of their computer desk for a majority of the day. And last but the not least, I was on vacation! Woohoo!!!

I'm having the Blog Paradox more often than ever. I was having lots of ideas what to post from time to time but when I'm infront of the computer, *poof*, they're gone!

But to be honest, I really don't feel like blogging lately. I think I lost my urge to blog.
