Happy New Year

It's 1 am January 1, 2009 Manila time as I write this. And my fiancee is at work (her 1st time in her 8 years in our company), but I will see her in a few hours.)

Happy New Year.

Here's to new beginnings and reinventing ourselves.

I visited Davao for 2 weeks in 2008 (and lost my PR3 while visiting Davao).

I was promoted in April.

My father went home a few days before my 30th birthday.

My posts have become farther apart for the past 6 months.

We have lost our financial services client due to a buy out.

I have been denied twice by the same company.

I will be tying the knot a day after my 31st birthday.

I will be taking my TOEFL in 10 days from now.

I plan on taking and passing the US State Board Exams for Physical Therapists and become a US PT within this year.

I pray that I would have the neurons to be able to recall and absorb everything PT that I have not touched for the past 7 years.

I pray for physical and mental strength to be able to work full time at my current job and do volunteer work as a PT before I embark to my US aspirations.

What happened to you this year??

Blogpost # 12

Waiting for updates on what's going to happen to current client -- check! ----> Last day on Nov 30, all regularly scheduled meetings scheduled already. Exit meeting scheduled on Monday.

Waiting for updates on the Florida - PT thingy -- check! --> Finally able to schedule my TOEFL on Jan 10, 2009 after being denied by HSBC for my own credit card. I paid $170.00 = more than 8k pesos. My college friend is taking the same test ( a retake) with me.

Waiting for updates from the conversation I had over a month ago -- check!--> Received a rejection letter a few days after the post below..... I posted the letter on my anonymous blog

Waiting for my beautiful fiancee's reaction to our conversation over the weekend - check! --> Told her parents about her plans and we'll be going to their place on the 14th for the next big day in our lives....

Waiting to be approved on paid blogging sites again -- check! (extra income needed at all costs!) --> can't access homepage of blogger at work coz of new firewall settings but I can still open the Paid to sites. I don't think my anonymous blog will regain it's pagerank again (I had a PR3) up until to Feb of this year, but I'll try to network better using this blog and get a nice PR in the next few weeks.

Ain't waiting exciting?????????-->Yes it is if you're waiting for good news..

Quo Vadis?

Yeap. Quo Vadis, where to next?
A friend will be leaving soon to a company that I had wanted to move to last year, but he deserves it... but don't I either?

Or am I just a weak interviewee??

Happy Birthday Ma!

Today is my Mama's 52nd birthday (36th if you'll ask her)... and the first without Tatay (we miss you Tay!)

We'll be taking her out to lunch and to a hopefully relaxing day for her later in the day.

Love you ma!

My Humps by Preggy!!!!

Lunch Out with Kaye and Frances

TOEFL registration

Having difficulty registering for the October 12 test session @ my old Alma Mater.
I've tried my brother's credit card, my fiancee's as well as her dad's! And it's all giving me an authorization failed every single time!!!! I know I might have made a mistake when I used my brother and my girlfriend's credit cards (Yes I asked permission from them), but when I used my gf's father's card, it was still the same.................

This is really bumming me down..

Still Here!

Ok, haven't blogged that much in almost a month.. as it has been loooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnggggggggg working days and weeks...

I'll be back here again in a couple of days and try to become a more active blogger.. even my anonymous blogs are being neglected...sigh... haven't earned anything yet for this month...lol!

Work has just been so busssssssssyyyyyyyyyyyyy but I'm starting to see a glimme of positive trend.

I"m still itching to practice my PT Profession but I had been so busy with my current work, but I'll definitely pursue this once I have my team complete....

Hearts That Bind

Yes, that's mine and my future wife's hand. I popped the question over a hearty lunch (with noisy background) @ C' Italian Restaurant. Was supposed to give it over dinner but we had a small celebration with her family. The ring is a half size bigger than her ring finger would fit, but it still fitted very nicely. It was her 29th birthday yesterday and we've been going out for 6 1/2 years now and I know it's looooooooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggg to a lot of people, but a lot has happened in the past years. But I feel that the timing was just perfect.

On to chapter 2...

Popping

Soon...

Monday, July 14th

Surprise client visit.
2 days of pure torture, endless thinking, 4-5 hours of sleep a day.
Setup a basketball court on the call center floor, and a dartboard on the other side... Big thanks to my team who had pulled a lot of strings in order to make this a success (or so I think)..

Another challenge coming up in the next 2 weeks...

No More Anonymous Blogging

Well, not really, I'd still like to maintain the first blogs I've opened but I don't think I'm not yet ready to reveal that....

However, I've decided to create this blog with the real me and no aliases for this blog. I've been anonymously blogging since late last year and have learned a lot, met a lot of people and earn a few $$ here and there. I was so blessed to have so many paid website reviews previously but all that changed my Pagerank was SPANKED!!!

I tried to start another blog to see if it will get a PR but it's been months and nothing happened, however, it still doesn't take away the fact that I still like blogging.... It's an entire universe out there and my tech skills have gone up by a few degrees..hehe.

I have so much tell and show on this blog but I'll try not to choke my soon to be blog readers... That includes you! I hope I won't get lazy in trying to promote this blog and to earn link backs from future friends.

I hope.

Until the next time.. I'll try to spruce up this blog instead of just the whitespace that you're seeing now....
