WOW!! What a Ride!

Probably around 3 years ago, I came across the realization about life.. and how it should be lived..
well at least for me..

See, Im a person who dont believe in destiny.. I think its pretty boring if everything is pre-ordained..I have a tendency to believe that life should be full of surprises and the results of actions taken by a person are not "written" so to speak.. to quote a line from Aerosmiths' song, "life a journey, not the destination".. Im more inclined to believe in free will.. we were given that so its up to us how we should live our lives and how to make it favorable to us or how we would like to end it.. if there is such thing as destiny, are people who commit crimes(crimes against HIS rules and of the government), destined to do that on the day they were born? isnt out of circumstances or isnt out of choice of the person? he or she chose to be in that path.. wouldnt He be unfair if He written a life for a person to be destined that way?

I dont know, maybe its just me..

It is the sole purpose that I wrote this because I wanted to convince myself that I am responsible for my actions and none of that are predestined..

No, actually Im convinced.

Make the most of life.. love, laugh, cry..cause in the end, you can sum up your life by saying, "WOW!! What a Ride!"

Tired and sleepy..

yes, thats right.. thats what im feeling now.. yesterday of course theres work and I came from angeles since every weekend i go home.. need to wake up early to be able to be on time at the office..
8am that is.. left at around 5:45am I think and caught a bus 15mins later.. but since its monday, 2 hrs of travel is just not enough! damn traffic got me late for 45 fucking minutes! so naturally, Japanese people(or boss) are not fond of being late stuff.. though he did understand that, he kept telling me that it is not allowed.. yeah yeah i get it.. I worked for a japanese company before remember? lol

anyways, since it was also my mom's birthday yesterday, i still need to go back home after work.. and so i did.. only this time, waking up an hour earlier than yesterday to give buffer in case traffic hits me again.. waking up at 6 is way too early for my much less 4am! I was at the office already at around 7:20 and the office is still locked..great! I just took the liberty of catching a nap at the reception area and wait for some officemates to who has a key.. sheeshh..

Im really sleepy and tired..

Anything and Everything

Where do I start? ok, how about my current job.. Right now Im really frustrated. I moved here because I know I will be working abroad.. Japan that is.. Yup I did went to Japan for a couple of weeks to learn the new project where I will be assigned.. And then my boss told me after a month or two, I will go back.. So I thought that will be fine.. Little did I know that I will be assigned as a team lead(which is not a bad thing) and the project should be completed here.. The thing I get frustrated about is that this project would last until at least mid-october! So im stuck here at manila office until then.. I like the project.. I really do.. New PL to use and new technology to learn which is a huge challenge..Im up for it.. What Im frustrated about is that I do not get the chance to do this abroad which of course translates to a higher salary, health insurance and other benefits.. While here, I dont even have health care, they do not pay my social security and benefits that I have on my previous company! Its really ticking me off..Im planning to quit this early.. If they do not give me the benefits I deserve..

now, onto other things, Friday the 13th..that was last friday.. whats the fuzz all about? I really dont get it.. luckily I dont believe it along with some of my friends so we went out for dinner and couple of drinks then went home with my girlfriend.. Saturday was fun too.. I helped a japanese collegue look for softwares that we need at the office.. bought me a memory card for my phone which now I use as an mp3 player too..

Went home to angeles saturday night and found out that my grandpa is at the hospital, so the next day I went to visit him.. I think he's doing good now.. Thank God..

Played with my nephew too while I was there.. cute little bastard.. hehe..

I guess thats just about it for now..

Weekends and friends

Its weekend! yahoo! means no work tommorow.. no waking up at 5:30 in the morning.. lol..
Last week I was planning to have a dinner get together with some friends on a forum that I frequent but due to hectic workloads, I wasnt able to.. havent seen them for quite some time now and somehow I miss them.. They are one funny batch of individuals I tell you.. Some of them I really consider good friends.. To think that I just met them online is just amazing.. How many people can you say that become a very close friend, someone who you can just let it all out and still there to listen to you.. someone who accepts you, your antics, your idiocity and what not and still be there to laugh with you and trusts you with all they have.. very rare isnt it?

Anyways, enough of that.. I wanna go home to my hometown already..I also miss hanging out with my friends back there.. friends that I grew up with.. or should I say friends I grew old with since I didnt grew that much.. lol.. Friends who drink thier guts out whenever there's a party..or not.. Just us laughing and drinking til the wee hours of the morning..

I miss my nephew a whole lot too.. He could be a real pain in the neck somtimes but he's just so lovable..

Ja, mata ne..

superheroes

Did you ever wish your a superhero? I mean you know flying around saving people's lives and what not? Well, maybe not flying and saving everyone, just doing some acts of heroism? I know I did. Well actually, I think I cant do it as if its just my job, sans the title of the blog..

Too much cartoons and superhero movies make me think..I think I should stop watching those. lol.

Anyways, just saw Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer and I can say it rocks! I mean I love how they protrayed Galactus' herald... Sure it has loopholes on plot itself but c'mon, which superhero movie doesnt have one? It very much lived to my expectations at least.. Better than the first one for sure.. Some say its better than Spider-man 3 but I dont buy that too.. Those movies have good things in thier own right.. The only complain I got for Spider-man was about Venom.. His story was hurriedly done and hurriedly finished too! aside from that, I think it was a good 3rd time for Mr. Raimi..

Now I cant wait for Transformers The movie! seing Optimus Prime and Bumblebee on the big screen? what more can you ask for!

hajimemasu

ok so probably the title doesnt fit. why? cause it means "first time" and this is not the first time i've created a blog. specifically here at blogspot :D

so, what's the best thing to post for starters? introduce me? nah. nobody's gonna read anyway so I think I'll just rant like an idiot here til words stop commin outta my brains.. thats a pretty good start..

New work for me. well not exactly new since its like my 2nd month here already but the surroundings are new.. new people to interact with.. new knowledge to gain.. Cant say I love it but I can get used to it. So as being used to writting blogs again.. haha! I wish.. ;)
