Man oh man... it has been quite a while since i posted something decent in here. And oh yes, i have to get up and stop sulking from the Cavs' loss to the Spurs in the Finals. That sucked, swept in 4 games... Anyways, alot have happened and i don't know where to start, but here goes...
1. Investing. I've been some investing the past few months. I wanted to explore stock trading so i joined in BPI Trade Online. There you can buy and sell stocks, and pretty much play around in the market. But if i had to be really adept and earn big from this, then i had to quit my day job. Haha, that won't happen now. The marketplace maybe isn't for me. But nonetheless i bought stocks from Ayala Corp, Filinvest and some oil company called Oriental and Petroleum something. And i'm happy to say they're growing a bit... a bit slow... but yes it was worth it. I can say my investment grew more or less 15% =)
2. Investing again. This time, it's mutual funds. I took the time and get to know how it works, and the most that i can afford is from SunLife Asset Management's. It only cost me 10K to open a Balanced mutual fund and so far it's doing great. 9% for practically doing nothing.
3. Investing pa rin. A friend introduced this kind of investment to me. It's a high-risk-high-yield type. But who doesn't want to be interested in this? Just imagine, you invest $100. For 100 days you earn back 2.6% or $2.6 PER DAY. Am I kidding y0u? Nope, i'm not. I saw it myself. That's a whopping 160% ROI in 100 days and you literally don't have to do anything! You can sit on your ass the whole day or do the usual stuff--work, gimik, sleep, eat, etc. The important thing is that it's earning everyday. Is this freaking real? Yep. Is it a scam? Probably. How does this investment company earn? Forex and casinos. Black market and terrorist cells, perhaps? Possibly, but I don't care =). I started mine a week ago. It's already a third away from earning back my initial investment. Woohooo! Once i earn back evrything, i'll play around with the rest of the earnings. Btw, you can invest as much as a thousand dollars and get as much as 3% a day. Mmmmm... nice!
4. My personal juicy tsismis. Oooohhh you naughty, naughty girl! I've heard from a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend, etc... There were bits of details here and there, and finally when I was trying to piece the puzzle together, somehow it makes sense now! Bwahahaha! You naughty girl! Hehehehe. Anyway, this doesn't make sense to you, so just disregard this =D
5. Work. Work sucks, but not in general. Just this cursed project. The beaurocracy! Some people just really are...
6. Lastly, decision-making. Should i stay or should i go? I've been pondering for the past few months, and this could be my ticket out of the rat race, out of this day job. I want to become my own boss! but of course, huge sacrifices have to be made... As of this point, i'm leaning towards this goal, say around 60-40. I just need a little more convincing. =)

Utter disorder
Everything is just not in order this week! And it's just Wednesday!
First, my slide phone got busted. Its screen blacks out when I either slide up or slide down. Sometimes, the screen turns into tiny bands of all colors you can think of. To say the least, it's still functioning, I just can't see what I'm doing. Worse, when someone texts I can't read the damn message. Worst, when someone calls I don't know who it is. Whenever I answer, I try really hard to recognize the voice. If I couldn't, I apologize and ask for his name and explain everything again what had happened.
Second, someone took my damn phone charger without my knowledge. Curse you!!! Return it, please!
Third, work. We're supposed to have finished our testing of an enhanced application by Monday. Cut-over was supposed to be yesterday. But no, technical support is MIA for the past 2 weeks, that's why we are behind schedule. And I will be on my 6-day long vacation starting tomorrow! Who's gonna oversee the cut-over? Who's gonna facilitate shallow testing? Good thing there's Dude who's happy to do the job for me ;)
Last, my office desktop is a mess. My PC desktop is a mess. My apartment is a mess (... but my life is so NOT a mess). I have to clean up... when I get back.

Last Sunday
Last Sunday, I had the opportune time to visit and get to know her dad. I was supposed to wake up at 6:30 am but lo, the clock said 8:00am. Taking a quick shower, I raised to get my ass to her house. Just in the nick of time, when I got there everyone else was ready to go. Lola had her umbrella, Sister carrying the Scrabble board, Mom holding on to the picnic basket and my girl waiting and wearing a frown :s. I was late. She stalled their departure for as long as she can. They could have left me, and I'm glad they didn't. She's a sweet one! :)
I took the wheel and drove all the way to Sucat. Along the way we bought some food and flowers. A few minutes from our stop, we arrived at her Dad's place. It was a perfect Sunday morning for a family reunion. The sky was clear and weather was fair.
We unloaded our stuff and her Mom took care of the picnic basket and unfolded the blanket under a nice shady tree. My girl took my hand and we walked towards him. She introduced me to him, I said Hello but he responded only with a breeze of silence.
I looked down and stared at the ground. The grass are surprsingly green and fresh this time of the year, I thought. The memories may have been fresh, too, no doubt. Written on a stone was his name and two dates. Tomorrow would have been his birthday. Two days from then would be the date of remembrance.
It never hit me before. I've never experienced those kind of emotions when you lose someone dear to you. I stood silent for a moment, I looked at her and smiled. I was happy for my girl despite the tragic event that had happened. She has become stronger and stronger each day for the past 13 years.
Life is indeed an experience, and tragic events are just one of the sad parts. How you handle these kind of situations determines what you will become and how strong you will be. ;p
