I'm back!
Yes, duckies, I'm alive and kickin'. I haven't checked my journal in over a year so I have no idea what's going on with you guys. I'll leave my contact information in a separate friends-only entry; I would love to hear from you guys ( Read more... ) -
jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock ... ARGH.
There's a Santa Claus statue/mannequin in the lobby of the RCBC, dancing to the tune of "Jingle Bell Rock". Every time I pass by the lobby, I hear that song and it's starting to drive me insane ( Read more... ) -

I was driving to work this morning and I saw the partially risen sun shining dully through the smog. It made me long to leave the city and go to a quiet province where I can see the startlingly blue sky and puffy, marshmallow-y clouds. It doesn't even have to be a tourist destination, although a beach would be an added bonus. I just want to go ( Read more... ) -

I'm at the lab right now. I just submitted my hardbound thesis paper and the semester is over for me. Next week, I won't be going here anymore - I'll be going to Makati instead. I cleared out my workspace earlier. I packed my food box, toiletries box, mug, picture frames, an "i love you" post-it from Mike, and an origami crane. I felt so sad while ( Read more... ) -

I went to Eastwood yesterday to take an exam for Soluziona - it's a Spain-based BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) company. Less than half an hour after I left their office, they called me to invite me for an interview, so I'm going there this afternoon ( Read more... ) -

Thesis halfway presentation is on Thursday. I'm a nervous wreck. I can barely sleep at night, worrying about my presentation. Everyone tells me I shouldn't be worried at all - I presented to a group of experts in Shanghai, I should easily be able to present to a group of professors here. But I was a nervous wreck there too ( Read more... ) -

I got back from Shanghai last Sunday. It felt so good to be back home where people can actually understand what you're saying. My mom was so sweet, she bought cake and cooked food for my return. It felt like the return of the prodigal son though. Haha. I'll write about my trip this weekend ( Read more... ) -
China, here I come
I have my VISA, my ticket, and my US$ 1,100 funding from the UP-ERDFI (University of the Philippines - Engineering & Research Development Foundation, Inc? I'm not sure about the DFI part) - I'm going to Shanghai ( Read more... )
