It was just last night that I gave up using PDF vista. Simple word search and jumping from one link to another doesn’t work correctly. Adobe Reder is just the best! It saved me a lot of trouble going round and round the files. I did not know why I had waited for such long before deciding PDF vista isn’t just right. d*rn!

** ranting ** just another bad day **

Just watched Bb. Pilipinas 2008 pageant Q&A portion and it reminded me of my visit in a toastmaster club late January. In tagalog, nag-ala “Bb. Pilipinas 2008 - Ms World” ako. It’s custom in a toastmaster club that they will have an impromptu speech for their members. As a visitor and a second timer visitor that is, I never expected them to call me because I was just there as a spectator. When they called my name, my body already started to shake and my hands sweating. The whole time I was answering, I looked like this

I know I don’t have Ms Janina’s confidence but thank God I was still able to answer the question and THANK GOD the members and evaluators there was so KIND to still appreciate my answer because they know it was my first time.

To Janina, I know the 50% of how it feels. 50% because I was standing only with a small crowd. Bring back that confidence and practice more for the upcoming pageant. And PLEASE if you are not confident enough to use english, TAGALOG is your second option and you will not be the first one to use a native language in answering questions. Heads up and Good luck!

Hello World again! It’s been a busy January and Feb-ibig month for me. I’ve shared all my love to a lot of people and things around me so I had no time for my blog. But don’t despair coz I’m back! There are a lot of news I wanted to share and a lot of changes as well.

First things first, let’s go to the oldest news up to the hot and latest ones.

My February is travel time! Just this month, I went to the Hidden city of Philippines, and then to Mt. Samat and then to Bataan to take deep underwater relaxation. Oh and I forgot, last December, at long last, I visited the Summer Capital of Philippines - Baguio City! My experiences to these provinces are still fresh and I could take you for a tour!

February is also a month of meeting new people. Last January, I’ve visited a toastmaster club in Pasig City. I was expecting a warm welcome from them since that was not my first time visiting a toastmaster club. But to my surprise, I was asked for an improptu speech!!! I am with my partner when I came there but fortunate for him they chose me. I just couldn’t say no and so I did stand up and another HORROR story about public speaking has been added to my history. Thank God the people there are so professional that they actually saw something more from all that dreaded experience!! Anyway, things aren’t all bad because for the second time I’ve met the local PHP user group last Feb 23. There has been a lot of planning and activities going on which I am excited to be part of. More news to come on that when we already have laid of a very firm plan to let it out in the open. What I am just expecting next week is the meeting with Mr Andre Cruz for some TDD (test driven development) lessons.

February is also a month of delivery. Finally, after 5 months, my latest project has been shipped. A lot of last minute work has been done and for a week I worked for like 9-10 pure work hours a day. So much stress but now I am ready to start on another venture!

More detailed stories of the things I mentioned here. So please come back after a few days. Cheers ^__^
