The 34th IIEE Annual National Convention

The Annual Convention, with the theme "Achieving Excellence Amidst Global Challenges," offered technical presentations for electrical engineering practitioners on various topics including renewable energy, new test equipment, grounding system, partial discharge analysis, energy conservation, voltage sags, arc flash analysis, etc. Delegates also witnessed an array of companies showcasing their products and services in the 3E XPO 2009 which converged the electrical, electronics and energy (3E) sectors under one grand venue for exposition.

NGCP should continue to encourage employees especially engineers to attend such conventions for continuous professional education and to be abreast with the latest trend in engineering and technology which creates an opportunity to upgrade human resources skills and capabilities, hence, the corporation's growth as well.

so much for that blahblahs..hehe..this is the real blog behind the convention proper..

it was really a big surprise for me when i heard that i'll be going to this convention out of the many engineers at ngcp..it would not only be that the registration would be shouldered by the corporation but also that i would be given the opportunity to earn my cpe (continuous professional education, correct me if i'm wrong) units, which is now required by prc (professional regulatory commission ) to renew my license as an electrical engineer..and also a big break to my nearly routinely work at operations..

the first day is nearly a big pain in the @$$*&..going there in time has not been met because plan a of riding the mrt became impossible..the line was really overwhelming, from the inspection area up to the ground floor..imagine all the stairs of 4 floors jam packed with people..no space..shoulder to shoulder..and the line was not moving for 30 minutes i guess because all the trains coming from north edsa was already jam packed..so plan b would be taking the city bus ride which required more time because of the expected traffic and loading/unloading delays..but at least we're moving..

and again..i have to wait in line again for almost 3 hours for the registration..hunger is an understatement..

but thank god..i had the chance to be at phelps dodge seminar which happen to be held at the mall of asia, too..free lunch..free gifts..free electrical tape..free siopao..what more can i ask for..hehehe..

going back again to the convention..it's our time to visit the exposition..this is the fun part..going around the exhibits and meeting different suppliers and manufacturers..games and promos..i even beat the challenge of motolite and akari winning me special gifts..free bags..free pens..free product demos..free coffee..free ice cream..free product catalogs..free catalogs..free key chains..free candies..who said "wala ng libre ngayon!.." but at the end of the day, the burden would be handling the baggage to diliman..hehehe..that's not free..it cost me energy, i guess..

then came the seminar/technical sessions..honestly..maybe 70% of the topics discussed did not interest me..on statistics, 4 out of 16 of the sessions, i fell asleep..25%..not that bad..harhar..maybe the reason most of the time are the speakers..they're not that good as speakers, maybe they are more of a technical person, not marketing people..

or maybe i am not that acquainted yet to the organization..but i hope..next year..the convention would be better..and i hope i'll get the chance to be there again..

antagal naman ng v. luna

antagal naman ng v.luna..bakit puro fairview ang nadaan..ala..e lampas alas nuebe na..nasinghot ko na yata lahat ng usok dito sa kamuning..at sawa na ako sa pagtingin sa billboard ni sara geronimo na halos kapantay na ng katabing gma tower..tingin sa relos..mag-iisang oras na'ko dito..*%^&$#@@#..asa pa 'ko..gabi na talaga e..halos linggo-linggo na ginawa ni bro mula nang mapadpad ako dito sa diliman..sadya ata matumal na bumiyahe ang v. luna sa ganitong oras sa ganitong araw..

patience is a virtue..madalas yan ang motto ko pag nag-iintay ng masasakyan..panu naman kung wala na talagang dadating..sampung taon ga ako maghihintay..nagtataning na lang ako ng oras at pag ndi pa dumating ang biyaheng hinihintay e dun na ko sa next best thing..at sa kaso ng v.luna..sa fairview na lang ako magtitiyaga..kundangan na laang at mapapahaba ang lakad ko papuntang boarding house..biruin mu..mula sss hanggang #11 matiyaga e dala-dala ko ang aking dambuhalang bagahe..pagdating ng bahay e talagang pandale ng hilot sa sumakit na likod at balikat....salamat na rin kesa lakarin ko naman ang kahabaan ng east ave..

nananawagan pu ako sa mga manong jeepney driver natin sa east ave biyaheng v. luna..sana pu e dumaan naman kayo madalas sa kanto ng gma para sa mga pasaherong katulad ko pag sunday night..at sa mga drivers, operators at konduktor ng bus punta fairview, ipaayus nyu naman mga bus nyo para mabawasan ang polusyon sa maynila..dapat siguro e isumbong na kayo kay bayani fernando..

at anu naman ang lesson ng blog na ito..patience is a virtue but not always..dapat e me limitasyon pa rin kasi baka yung hinihintay mu e hindi naman talaga dadating kaya mag-isip ka na ng plan b..at plan c kung minamalas ka talaga..alam naman ni bro na nagtiyaga ka na maghintay o siguro e masmakabubuti sa'yo ang mangiba ng pananaw..me point naman di ga..but not always..desisyon mu pa rin yun kaibigan..

we should have learned from the past

after ondoy, everyone has become aware of the possible effects a typhoon may bring..so the moment pepeng was forecasted to enter the philippine area of responsibility..all agencies and organizations have activated their typhoon contingency plans..including the company where i am affiliated..day after day, i really see to it that i send my updates to the higher management..

came pepeng..the forecast have been inaccurate because instead of directly hitting central luzon, pepeng routed himself to the northern part of luzon..slowly but going west..hurray..i even finalized my report re damages and restoration of our assets not knowing the coming days would be more critical..

and then typhoon quedan enter the atmosphere..and by fujiwara effect..typhoon quedan pulled back the force of pepeng..making pepeng almost stationary for almost two days i think..and made his way back to the west of north luzon..bringing a large volume of rain specifically at benguet, la union and pangasinan..

another tragedy indeed..we thought we had learned from the incident of ondoy..but here is another..we already easily pulled out our guard when we saw pepeng leaving the country..how sad that the negligence has cost us again many lives..

history repeats itself..but there is this thing that we called learning from our mistakes..what must have been done..what must not have been done..and it all goes down to us again..we knew what to do..but there is still that negative attitude in us to resist warnings and go on like everything is gonna be alright even if the danger is right there in front of us..how morbid..

ondoy and pepeng should be enough for us..and now we're expecting another supertyphoon..ramil..(tokayo!)..by now..we should have learned from the past..let's face the challenge with our guards on the maximum..and pray..

ondoy: not just another typhoon

just another typhoon..that’s what I had in mind last friday..what a big negligence..i did not even checked out typhoon2000.com for updates and stormtracking (which is part of my job as operations engineer) and made myself busy with the division’s budget to beat the finance group’s deadline..hey, it’s a Friday..it’s a homecoming day..batangas is waiting for me..5pm and off I go to the bus station to suffer another trafficy trip thru edsa, slex, turbine, star, balagtas to my place at cuta..the rain and wind does not pose any threat on me at all..

came saturday..as usual, went to the university to attend my masters classes..it’s already stormy but what the heck..i’m not in high school to be tardy for schooling..it’s raining cats and dogs outside and still classes is business as usual..not aware of ondoy’s devastation over other parts of the country..

home again..upon watching the videos of people walking on floody streets and this family standing over a floating pile of garbage got carried by this fast river current..and that’s the only time I get to realize the serious peril my countrymen was facing that moment..i really am surprised..i thought it’s just another limpy typhoon..it’s not just another typhoon..ondoy is a destructive one..

ondoy made landfall on september 26, 2009 at aurora area with a maximum sustained winds of 85 kph..pagasa science garden in quezon city recorded a new record rainfall accumulation of 455 mm (17.9 inches) in 24 hours, surpassing the previous record of 335 mm (13.2 inches) which happened last June 1967..that’s remarkably horrifying..imagine..that amount of rainfall for one day is equivalent to a month of continuous rainfall..the wind is not that strong but the rainfall made it devastating..

in this time of crisis, heroes emerge..they are the one who is involved in the rescue and relief operations..bayanihan spirit is still within us..the aids and donations are inspiring..thanks also for the effort of the media networks which have covered the events for public information and encouraged everybody to help in their own ways..abs-cbn and gma have already received more than 50 million worth (in cash and in kind) of donations..even if I haven’t had that chance yet to directly participate, i’m proud still that filipinos have that will to help..but i still hope to have that chance to partake in such activities..


oh God! please save the philippines from another one..recovery would be a long one..many are still in mourn..many are still walking in floods..hungry..homeless..restless..coping..don’t let them loose hope..

a delay is not a denial from God..

a delay is not a denial from God..

many would wonder with this statement..and many would also deny our impatient nature..

we are very human indeed..we wish..we want..we hope..we require..we fancy..we crave..we aspire..we yearn..we seek..we aim..but we don’t want a delay..we don’t want to wait..

people nowadays want it fast..express..instant..time seems so short so we are always in a hurry..tick tack tick tack..time is gold..so don’t waste it..but there will always be that moment that we are kept in a line to wait for our turn..no assurance of when..looking forward to be there..hoping to beat the deadline..the waiting task is the ultimatum..

another thing..should we not ask ourselves if we are worthy to wait..who are we to demand..but we always do that..our expectations are endless..satisfaction seldom comes our way..

the delay should be a test of faith..giving up would be our failure..and our denial from that challenge would lead us to nothing..god is not denying our wishes..it is not just the right time..he is the only one who knows that right time..we just have to believe that it would be coming..

in His own time..He will make all things beautiful..

you never know when blessings will come..and that would certainly be great..and that would certainly be worth the wait..and sometimes, good things happen when you least expect it..we just have to accept it that way..and that’s the bottom-line of what we are always longing for..happiness can only be achieved if we accept things as God puts it..

anxiety can't find me..

anxiety can't find me..
not that i am hiding..
i am coping..
trying to overcome all these..
challenges..
unfortunate events no..
bad days no..
surprises..
health..
wealth..
intense emotions..
fatigue no..
stress no..
i am praying..
free let me be..
peace let there be..
prepared let me always be..
wellness let me feel..
contentment let me find..
anxiety let me not suffer..
happiness let me deserve..
i am coping..
i can overcome all these..

we're a team!

the fall of the yellow confetti

the last confetti..
dancing in the wind..
saving itself..
tiny raindrops..
trying to taint its bright hue..
slowly..
the yellow confetti..
entangled there..
on the branch of a giant tree..
with its trunk..
tied a yellow ribbon..

the kingdom is in sorrow..
the yellow queen..
loved by all..
admired by all..
respected by all..
now asleep forever..

yet her spirit..
radiated like magic..
her life..
a precious gem..
worth fulfilled..
her legacy..
freedom she fought for..
spirituality she believed in..
truth she searched..
be remembered forever..

thanks..
yellow queen..
never will we forget..
the worth..
the yellow confetti..
upon its descend..
has done its part..
so must we..

(a poem tribute to our late President Corazon "Cory" Aquino)

the sona and gma's fairy tale

In the 2009 State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, as expected, the president enumerated her administrations accomplishments and not admitting any mistake or shortcoming, which is not unusual.

The SONA have always been an abundance of figures and percentages boasting the country’s economic growth under her administration, and featuring common citizens and popular icons who benefitted from government projects or brought international pride as part of his accomplishments as well.

President Arroyo is known as a trained economist; hence, everybody expected a lot of economic progress upon her reign as the country’s most powerful person. Where is the Philippines now in terms of economy? What about the poverty level? What about the livelihood and employment status? What about the national budget and its disbursement? What about education? What about the hostilities of terrorism? All these should be answered and addressed appropriately to fulfill her promise of a “strong republic”, which is still an elusive dream today.

The administration certainly achieved many – particularly on the fiscal, financial and monetary side, as well as on the infrastructure side. But these are just mere normal function of the administration.

What the people want is an economic reform, abolishing poverty and corruption and focusing on financially viable and cost-effective projects and policies. What the people want is transparency on governance and ensures that the taxes they paid are going to useful infrastructures and projects uplifting our way of life. It is not a question of how well our revenue produced, it is how well we utilized the budget and the economic returns it managed to obtain. What the people want is quality and affordable education. What the people want is a stable job to provide their family’s needs. In nine years, the country should have moved up the ladder of progress and every citizen should have felt that. Maybe she should have thought of these upon reporting her annual speech.

One may note that she’s not solely responsible for all these crisis and national issues. True. But the most powerful and influential person of the country should have at least boost up every Filipinos perspective on national development and pride. She at least served the Filipinos with no issues on “Hello Garci”, “ZTE-NBN Deal”, “Charter Change”, “Macapagal Highway’s Overpricing”, etc. These issues have greatly affected our economy and even put the president’s integrity to a negative level, thus, positioning the country in an appalling circumstances. A sad truth indeed.

She can’t end her term with the “they live happily ever after” conception. Her fairy tale has ended and yet the country is still poisoned with the apple from the evil witch. Maybe it’s time to call the country’s knight and shining armor.

changing my shoes

i'm wearing my leather shoes again..after one year of hiding it below the bed..i had to buy a liquid shoe shiner again to restore it and make it look brand new..

july 2009 has turned my life in a very different way..life changing experience again indeed..

i have to wear my glasses..astigmatism..for the record..i quitted my travian account and lessened my dotA gaming..

i have to watch over my food intakes..dyspepsia is really not a good thing..i have motilium and omeprazole at all times..and learned that drinking lots of water really helps..trust me..you don't want to end up like me..and lessen your fatty food eating..

i have to work in diliman..that's the reason why i'm wearing my leather shoes again..back to office and management..i signed my contract here at the head office..promotion on my job grade..from batangas substation operation to monitoring visayas and mindanao operations..how's that..the people in the department i'm with right now majority are from north luzon so i have to act numb when they're conversing ilocano..seeing south luzon friends really brightens my mood..

i have to face the high cost of living here in quezon city..i have to leave the comfort of living in our own house and sleep in an apartment..of course, i have to pay a monthly rent..foods here are much expensive even at the "turo-turo"..i have to travel again every weekend..travel expenses again..

i have no choice but to have a long distance relationship..not seeing niña for more than a week or can even be more than a month is excruciating..makes me want to invent a teleport device to travel just right beside her in a snap..she just started working at mindoro this july also as a public attorney..i'm feeling the agony.. T_T ..

oh well..i have to put on my shoes again..i'm gonna walk and pass by the cafeteria for dinner..i don't want my acidic stomach experience hunger..it's bad for my dyspepsia..i'll see if i can edit this blog when the time comes..

don't ask me about this eyeglasses..

so this is headache..yes, this is annoying..such a nuisance..i’m not used to this kind of pain..until now..my head feels terrible..can’t focus..can’t smile perfectly..can’t do things right..

my girlfriend advised me to have my eyes checked..upon availing four consecutive free computerized eye check-up on various optical clinics dash shop, the results are consistent..i just found out that this one is astigmatism..

ouch! I’m skipping the denial stage and admitted that it has been bugging me before but its manifestation these past few days is really giving me uneasy feelings..it even affected my appetite..how morbid..my eyes (blink..blink) is not seeing right, i guess..unconsciously, my vision is deteriorating, though at my age..still young..buhu!

According to my friend Wiki, “Astigmatism causes difficulties in seeing fine detail. In some cases vertical lines and objects such as walls may appear to the patient to be leaning over like the Tower of Pisa. Astigmatism can be often corrected by glasses with a lens that has different radii of curvature in different planes (a cylindrical lens), contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

Astigmatism is quite common. Studies have shown that about one in three people suffers from it. The prevalence of astigmatism increases with age. Although a person may not notice mild astigmatism, higher amounts of astigmatism may cause blurry vision, squinting, asthenopia, fatigue, or headaches.”

“so don’t stay up too late and try to avoid computer gaming”..ouch!..oki..i’ll try..

decision making again..choose..headache or eyeglasses..and the rest is history..so tomorrow, i'll be claiming my eyeglasses..so don't bother to ask me that question..it's not for the genius-look (though i would now be complying to that stereotyping..hehehe..feeling genius)..

yes we must know..now!

promises are made..

yet why these feelings..bothered..uncertain..worried..anxious..troubled..doubtful..

yet why these secrecies..silence..no idea..no information..no updates..noises are just rumors..

yet why these delayed progress..still waiting..still hoping..still in vain..

yet why these dilemmas..

we care about our work..

we care about our life..

we care about our future..

promises are made..

we must know..now!

ode to barathrum

charge..charge..charge..
spirits surround you..
mother earth guides you..
lich king sees you..
bash..bash..bash..
feed on weak wandering souls..
unleash your uncanny speed..
unleash your wraithlike powers..
conquer the material plane..
they fear your empowering haste..
godlike, your holy strength..
strike..strike..nether strike..
break their spirits..

best things in life

staring at the horizon..priceless..

a bright sunny day..priceless..

feet buried in the sand..priceless..

wavy cool waters..priceless..

refreshing coastal wind..priceless..

paradise..serenity..priceless..

with someone you love..priceless..

best things in life..priceless..

samu't saring pagmumuni

ganoon talaga kaibigan

mayroong mga sandali..
hindi mo malaman..
gusto mo na lang muna tumigil ang mundo..
ayaw mo muna umusod ang buhay..
pakiramdam mo e kailangan mo muna ng pahinga..
naririndi sa ingay ng mundo..
puno na ang salop
pero patuloy pa rin
ang pagbagsak ng mga butil ng kalungkutan..
pinipilit mong tumakbo palayo..
pero imposible..
dadaan pa rin ang oras..
wala kang ligtas..
wala kang kawala..
hindi mo namamalayan..
dinala ka na din ng agos..
minsan talaga malupit ang tadhana..
may araw na talagang hindi sa iyo..


si juan ka ga?

madalas e nasasayang lang
sa mga walang kabambanang bagay..
palaging ganoon ang tao
kung palaging pagpapadali ang nasa isip niya..
uupo dito..hihilata doon..
ayaw mag-aral..
ayaw magbanat ng buto..
asa na..
imbis na lumakad upang malayo ang marating..
maghapong nakatengga..
nakatanga..


tantanan nyu na

ano ga talaga?
parepareho..
walang pagkakaiba..
ipipilit lalong nagngingitngit..
sobrang kulit..
hayaan nyo na muna..
hihinga lang ng konti..
kailangan lang ng puwang..
sandali..


bangon na

wala ng patumpik-tumpik pa..
isipin ang araw
ay magiging masaya..
imulat na ang mata..
magpasalamat ka..
tumulong..sumulong..
maging biyaya sa iba..
tanggapin ang tadhana..
kaya naman..
kilos na..ngayon na..
para bukas ay mashanda ka..

Nine Words Women Use (Translation for Men)

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the F1 before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.


(this is a repost..i don't know who the original author is..but it kind of made me wonder..harhar..)

para kay b : isang parerepaso

mapangahas at kakaiba..bagamat ang kwento ay masasabing pawang liktong isip lamang..nasasalamin pa rin dito ang mga tunay na nangyayari sa ating buhay..

marahas..masakit..masarap..hindi mo inaasahan..nakakaaawa..ilusyon..hindi patas..inspirasyon.. pag-asa..kabiguan..pagiisang katawan.. masasandalan..emosyonal..kabaliwan..pighati.. nakakatawa.. maramihan..iisa lamang..magpakailanman..sandali laang..ang pag-ibig.. maraming kaakibat na damdamin at kaisipan..sa mga maiikling kwentong isinatitik ni ricky lee..mababanaag ang hapdi at pagsubok ng taong nagmamahal..

ika nga sa libro..apat lamang daw sa limang umiibig ang magkakamit ng kaligayahang minimithi..maaring totoo..maaring hindi..isang teoryang nais patunayan ng mga karakter ngunit pilit rin namang pinaglabanan sa konklusyon ng kwento..

ang mga karakter na ginamit ay masasabing "stereotype"..datapwat nakatulong itong mapadali ang pag-unawa sa bawat tauhan..tipikal pa ring maituturing ang katauhan ng mga karakter..ang masamang pulitiko..ang mabait na magulang..ang mapagmahal na asawa..ang naglantad na binabae..ang tagong tomboy..ang mapaghiganting naapi sa simula..ngunit ang tipikal nakatauhan ay nararapat lamang upang mabigyang buhay ang realidad na istilo at ipakita ang layuning halos magkakatulad lamang ang mga tao pagdating sa larangan ng pag-ibig..

sa isang upuan ay makakarating ka sa isang mundong gawa ng isang manunulat tungkol sa isang manunulat..hindi ko alam kung si lucas ay nagsasalamin sa buhay ni ricky lee..siguro ay ito rin ang nararamdaman ng manunulat sa tuwing maghahabi siya ng isang katha..maaari kang balikan ng mga karakter na iyong likha..

mahusay si ricky lee..hindi matawaran ang kanyang istilo at atake sa mga eksena..kung nais mo ng isang kakaibang babasahin..subukan mong basahin ang aklat na ito..mapapansin mo na lang na bigla kang tatawa..bigla kang maaawa..bigla kang malulungkot..bigla ka magugulat..bigla na lang mapapansin mo na patapos na..

goodbye transco

after 4 years in transco..i have to wave my hands goodbye to the name where i started my career..i haven't felt the difference yet but i'm expecting a better future..

because of the philippine government's goal to privatize the transmission sector of the country, transco (formerly part of napocor) is now ngcp..the national grid corporation of the philippines..the corporation is now owned by the state grid of china (40%) and Monte Oro/Calaca Power (60%)..(maybe today should be a holiday since it's chinese new year..)

some of the higher management officials have been laid off since day 1..everyone is just hoping that the people holding the lower positions (rank&file) would still be chosen to continue their duty..their promise to keep us is still a promise..

the best is yet to come..i just wish..since our logo has been changed from a dynamic T symbol to a circular green sign..i really am expecting a change..for the better of course..a need to change the present culture which sometimes hamper growth and development..which sometimes permits corruption..which sometimes fail to give back the benefits that is for us..i won't accept the status quo..

the new id given to us is still a temporary one..we just have to wait around 165 days to fully make sure we'll be ratained to work for the crown jewel of the country..finger's crossed including my toes..in times of crisis, we don't want to be included to the soaring population of unemployed..pray..pray..pray..
