a year that was

2009..a year that was..

transitions..

from batangas substation to diliman head office, i was moved from field operations to management operations when transco finally handed the electric transmission responsibility to the national grid corporation of the philippines..ngcp..substation life is really challenging for a noob..the last month indeed is the most unforgettable for i've experienced graveyard shifts..no sleep..running around the substation for switching and stuffs..and june that was i've informed that i'll be transferred to diliman because my resume was accepted by the operations and maintenance management department..they say it was a promotion..so i decided to give it a go..and that's the start of another challenging life..every week is report week..assignments are overflowing..overwhelming..but i made it..the 6-month probationary period is over..i'm just hoping that everyhting will be more clear after this period..

new office..new officemates

i am now part of the operations division under the operations and maintenance management department..most of my collegues are ilocanos..but i got used to the language barier and just carry on when they do the alien talking (deadma na laang)..the group is really a hard working group so i got to cope up with their accomplishments..fyi..i'm the youngest among the group..harhar..they are all in their late or mid 30's already..but they're still hip in the sense..harhar again..

change address..

it's not only me who had moved out from batangas to work but also my girlfriend..she's been accepted as a lawyer at the public attorney's office at pinamalayan..yes..at mindoro..at first i really am not good with that but i'll consider it a sacrifice on our part because our career is at stake here..i don't want to spoil the future ahead of us because of my selfish intentions..selfish am i but i still have to settle for long vacations so that i could go overseas to go to her or vice versa..i just wish this set-up would not last that long for long distance relationship is really hard..T_T


new house..new housemates..

my city address at manila is #11 matiyaga street, barangay central, quezon city..15-minute walk from the office..i just am lucky to be there..the monthly rate is just right and my housemates are really great..they have attitudes..right..and it that facinates me..i have two room mates there..soc (chemist slash businessman) and jerold (silent-type church guy).. the other room is for the girls..ate grace (single and still available), melin (cebuana girl who really lol), donna (prim and proper but misunderstood) and kathy (the groovy mom)..it is not that often i spend the day with them but i always enjoy their company..


health is wealth..

year 2009 saw how i suffer from a very painful sickness..i had gastritis and it really put me on the test..i lost my appetite and nausea is awful..the worst part is i've lost weight..the good thing is i'm watching my food intake right now..i got to prevent myself eating fatty and acidic foods..healthy eating if possible..fingers-crossed..
