B#!$!+
I was so mad beyond words could ever express with a certain person for not allowing me to do things that I wanted to do. I mean it's none of his/her business what direction I gonna take with my life. I just can't fathom why he/she had to do the things he's/she's doing. I mean, I don't give a $#!+, or mind for that matter, with what he's/she's going to do with his/her life then why minding mine. It saddened me that this person did not gain or will ever gain my respect but what else can I do, that's how I see that person. He's/she's older that me but he/she behaves like a $+uP!D brat with nothing else in mind than bothering and pestering other people lives.

Cebu Business Trip
Mr. Tanemura and I went to Cebu last June 27 & 28, 2004 for a business trip. We visited around nine (9) customers. I also met my former classmates in college: Honnie & Cherry.
This morning I just received a copy of a picture taken in Cebu with Honnie. The resolution is not good though.

Wala Lang
Well, it's kinda weird going to work today knowing that in few days you're going to leave the company behind. Sigh. Still many of my colleagues can't understand why I left the company. Some actually congratulate me though. Nonetheless, I'm proud with my decision and I stood firm with it. Here is one of the pictures of me with my assistant manager (Ms. Tere) & my supervisor (Mr. Rudolph).

Resign?!!
Yesterday, I talked to my assistant manager telling her that I would be resigning from my current position as Sales Engineer of PIAP (Panasonic Industrial Asia Pte., Ltd. - Philippine Branch). I have been connected with PIAP for about 10 mos. and 16 days. The effectivity of my resignation is not yet fix though I wanted it on the 15th of June 2004. From then on, I will be embarking on a new journey - a very different from my current job. I have no other companies in eye yet and I also haven't applied for another job yet.
You might think that I'm kinda crazy for doing things like this one but I have to stick with my decision and have to be ready to face the consequences behind my actions no matter what. Hey, life's crazy you know and I think I'll be able to get through all these. Sigh. To tell you the truth, I'm kinda nervous but I think my decision is for the best of all parties. Oh, what's with the long face? Don't worry about me, I'm a big boy already. Ciao.
P.S.
Please pray for me as well. :)

Jasmine Trias got booted on AI
The remaining Fil-Am contestant on American Idol Season 3 got booted yesterday night. Among the remaining 3 contestants, she is believed to be the weakest. I am quite sad that she did not make it to the next round but being on the top three is nonetheless, a great achievement.

Presentation Boboo
I already showed my presentation to our Japanese and Local co-workers and they kinda like it. I also did a trial presentation. There are bits of information to be deleted, altered or to be improved but the overall outcome is quite ok. It turned out ok that they have decided to let me report the rest of the machines (from 3 machines to 6 machines). Sigh. Now I have to exert extra effort and extra time with these presentations. How am I supposed to divide my time between drawing and my job now. Hmmm. Nonetheless, I'll try my best on both worlds.

HAPPY BIRTDAY TO ME
Hehehe. That's actually a late greeting. I should say belated "happy birthday to me." Yes, yesterday was my 24th birthday and I've got to spend it away from my family. It's ok. They still celebrated my birthday yesterday at the province even if I'm not around physically.
Hey thanks to those who greeted me.

PIAP FA Group Dinner
Last April 2, 2004 we, the FA Group, had a thanksgiving dinner due to a very successful 2003 Fiscal Year. We achieved 371% versus Business Plan and 261% versus Last Year. The said achievement was the record high since our group started last 1997. I was, am, glad that I am part of it.
Below are pics taken during the event:

Mom In The City
I really had fun last week while staying at the Pan Pacific Hotel. My mom came to Manila for seminar last week (Monday to Saturday) before heading to Australia. We don't often see each other so I decided to stay with her during the night. Though it's tiring to travel from Laguna to Malate everyday, not to mention what seemed to be an endless parade of vehicles along the way, and waking up 4 am every morning to head back to Sta. Rosa for the days job, I did not mind all of that. What’s on my mind is that I’ve got to see my mom. I usually arrived late so I directly go to the Slimmer's World to try the facilities. After flexing my muscles, I would go up directly to my mom's room and then we'll have our dinner on a lavish restaurant - I’ve got to choose the place I want. I felt like a prince during my stay there, just going to the gym, swimming on the pool, eating lots of food, & etc. The good thing is I don't have to think of work. Perhaps the most important thing is I've got to spend quality time with my mom and be able to catch up with all those times that we don't see each other.

Komikero March Meeting
Yesterday, March 21, 2004, we had our monthly Komikero meeting at Sampaloc Lake, San Pablo City Laguna. There were 17 of us who attended. That meeting, I think, was the most number of members who came. Among the first timers were Lynette, Ed, ?, and Jonas' baby. We tackled about the future activities for the group.
The monthly meeting with the Komikero's is a great escape for me. With them I felt no pressure - just pure fun it maybe due to the fact that we do share the same interest - comics. Some of us love to draw, some love to write, or some just love to read comics. And you know what? We click. Despite from the fact that we came from the different areas of the country, we still go to San Pablo to meet the members of Komikero's. I for one came from Kidapawan City (I am staying in Sta. Rosa now). Staying in the boarding house with nothing to do but wait for tomorrow is much more tiring than the one hour and 30 minute trip going to San Pablo. Actually, being with the group is a stress relief for me. I remembered the first time I attended the meeting last October 26, 2003, I don't have the slightest idea what will happen during that day. I don't even know how the people I'm going to meet looked like. All I got is my bag, with drawing materials, and a piece of paper with Gerry's e-mail on it telling me instructions on how to go to Sampaloc Lake. Then I saw a guy with a huge portfolio bag arrived. "He must be one of them," I thought so I approached him. It turned out that I'm right. He's one of the Komikero's and then we exchanged introduction - he's Jonas. Then Gerry came next, followed by Jac, then Johnny with Raipo (also his first time), and finally Geoff and his sister. I never thought that they were, and still are, so warm. Though it was my first time, I did not felt as one. Many monthly meetings come and go, we even celebrated our Christmas Party at Gerry and Ilyn's place, but up to now I am still looking forward to every meeting and activity that the group is going to have.
Below are the Komikero's who attended the meeting:
From left: Jepoy, Jac (Super Logo), Azrael (Super Logo), Lynette, Ed, Johnny, Ric, Raipo, ? (sorry, I forgot the guy with goatee), me (with cap), Glenn, Geoff, Rod (bald guy), Ilyn, Jonas, Jonas' baby, and Gerry (front below).

Customer Visit #?
It's so hot outside. I just came from one our customer to discuss one Panasonic product the Watt Hour Monitor. Ang daming bus kase labasan na pag alas dos ng mga operators ng 6 am to 2 pm shift ng mga companies located sa Laguna Technopark. Normally, it will take you 10 to 15 minute drive from our company to the customer yet due to the traffic it took me 10 minutes later. When I finally arrived at the customer, I was already drained and exhausted. The feeling of excitement was taken over by sleepiness. Luckily, thank God, everything went ok. I hope so. The customer was able to understand and appreciate our product. He told me that he's going to discuss it later with his technicians and Japanese superiors since they needed the device for their ISO 1400 requirement. I'm sure glad that despite my lack of enthusiasm and interest in explaining our product he thinks I gave him a good presentation. After the meeting, the road was still packed with enormous kings of the road - buses. Well I just sighed and thought that since I have no control over the situation I just drive the car slowly, listen to the music & watch passersby come and go. I haven't realized 'till I arrived that I actually enjoyed the trip back to the office. I even caught myself smiling and singing along with the tune of "don't know what to say whenever you are near..." hahaha, see I even forgot the title of the song. Well as a whole, the trip, so to say, went well despite of the painful rays of the sun that stings my eyes and almost drained my brain and soul away.

Wala lang
Naku it's been days since I haven't updated my blog and now that I have time to spare I have nothing important to say. Anyway, I am just fine in case you wonder how I am and how I've been for the past few days of my absence here.
Downcast Update #2
I already finished page 1 and I am currently working on page 2. I know that I work so slow becuase I still have to do my job. I usually go home late and tired already so it's quite hard for me to concentrate on my comics. I will assure you that I'll do my best to finish it.

All by myself
My Japanese adviser and my supervisor went to Singapore yesterday. My assistant manager went to Subic. I went to the office. Hehehe. Right now, I'm the only one left in our group (FA group). I just hope that nothing urgent or important thing will happen today.
Cherry's Birthday
Today is Cherry's birthday. She is one of my classmate in college and my friend up to now. She's a brilliant and intelligent person. I wish her all the luck and may her wishes come true. Chirps God bless and more power.

Laptop
I was kinda excited today because the other division is going to lend me one of their unused laptop. I thought this is finally a goodbye to the current one that I am using. Meaning no more hang ups, no more slow opening of files, and definitely no more bad battery pack. I really can't hide my excitement so I constantly smile. From time to time I'd ask the person in charge when he's gonna hand me the unit and he would always say he's still transferring files. Finally, this afternoon he gave me the unit and to my dismay the new (not new new but new - get my point?) laptop seems to be more slower and can't open two programs at a time. My my, I really can't believe my lack of luck regarding these things (not to mention the cellphone, but of course that's of another topic). What I did is I ask the help of Larry (ISD member who is in charge with computers and stuff) yet he informed me that he'll be able to extend his help next week coz he still has so many things to do. Naks, I should have known better, I should not get too excited and I should have not expected too much. Grrr...
Camera
My supervisor borrowed the digital camera of my officemate coz he's gonna use it at his brother's wedding. He's not familiar with the gadget so he decided to practice and he used me and my assistant manager as models. Hehehe he took so many pictures but nothing was saved. He can't seem to store the images on the camera's memory and he don't know why. After many attempts he was able to store it. Below is the sample pic:

Birthday ni Gamay
Yesterday, Butch Gamay celebrated his birthday away from his family. I am not really sure if that was the first time away from his family like Andy (who celebrated his birthday last Feb. 16). Around 11 am Gamay texted me and asked me what time I'll be home that day and I told him that I'm going to stay the whole day at home coz I have to do my laundry and draw for my indie comics. He said that we're going to meet in Balibago to celebrate his birthday. He also requested me to text Andy and Owynne to come with us. Around 7 pm, I went to Paseo de Sta. Rosa to fetch Andy and we went to Balibago. We met with Gamay on an internet cafe and stayed there for awhile to wait for Owynne. When Owynne arrived we headed to Max. We ordered and we ate. We had fun. It was a simple celebration, with only the four of us, but worth remembering.
Downcast Update:
I still not able to finish even a single page on my project. I just started sketching yesterday with the script as my guide. It is not usual for me to ink my pencils but yesterday was a different case. Everytime I finish making one panel I just ink it right away. This maybe the reason why I draw slowly. The first page is so simple with 5 panels on it. If you may look at it, it was so simple (not eye catching or attractive to look at) that you may ask what took me so long to finish the first four panels. I do not know also. I just sketch and ink and then when I look at my watch it already took me hours in doing it. Well, I just hope that I'll be able to finish it within the set time (I'm not in a hurry though).
