Moving to Wordpress

I'll be moving my blog to wordpress as it has more features and much better skins than blogger. LOL.

The new address is http://blshvk.wordpress.com.

It's still under construction but I have already imported my posts from blogger to there. Even the comments were moved! See you there!

Baguio, Batanggas and etc....

Finally, I am able to post again after a few months. Here are some things that I have up to lately.

Baguio Trip last February:

Went to Baguio with my brother(Joel) and some friends(Keks, Shad, Jao, Cons, Ghel, Pepper, Kwissy and Zhen) last Feb during the last days of the flower festival there. One way ticket costs around Php 400.

Original plan was to see the parade and enjoy the sights. We also planned to play pRO during WoE time since we have some friends/guildmates who lives there (Baguio Division). Mans, one of the guys there, was the one who offered their house for rent where we can stay while we were there.

When we got there, we got to do most of the stuffs when one goes there (shopping, little sight seeing, chat with the Baguio peeps), only thing that we didn't do was to watch the parade. hehe. We were too lazy especially when we saw the throngs of people lining up at Session Road.

We got to siege/play WoE in the famous Outer Haven where our Baguio friends usually play their network/internet games. The place is huge and a very nice place. We also got to meet some of the players from our rival guild that also lives in Baguio.

Highlight of our stay there was the night before we leave when Jerome was telling some of his experiences with his not fully developed sixth sense.

Batanggas Beach getaway:

Went to Calatagan, Batanggas with Mon, Joy and her office mates (Charlene, Omar, Michelle, Charnee, Tina). We rented a van for about Php 6,000 to go there. The ride was about 3 hours long.

When we got there there was no electricity and the place was very noisy. We thought that we made the wrong choice to go there. At the end of the day, after the lights went back it seems to be alright already.

Although the sand is gray, water is very clear. There were sea weeds on the rocky part of the beach but it's ok. The swimming pool was ok, only problem is that there were so many people using it.

I really enjoyed those trips since I got to meet new friends specially the Batanggas trip. That's it for now... btw, I already resigned from my job and my last day will be on Friday. Need to find another job again or I won't have money on me to spend.

Quarter Life Crisis

When I was about to have my 25^th birthday, I started thinking very hard what have I accomplished lately and did I already made steps on achieving my goal to become rich early and retire young. Checking out the job ads, and applying for them made me think should I take up more courses to boost my career like taking up MBA or technical / programming courses for certification. Yea I have partnered with Hanzel and Oly with making Waffle Wrapps but the business still doesn’t make that much money yet and is not enough. I really have to think of ways on how I can be rich and successful by age 40. If anyone out there has some ideas share it to me please. =)

Chaotic office

It sometimes is a real problem working for a new office with all the policies not straightened out. The branch office of Okaya here in Manila is already 6 – 7 years and yet still policies are not straightened. Since before the end of the year there are already debates going on with the given leaves for us employees. This time it’s about the company buying out the excess leaves the employees still have. I really don’t care about the first issue since it doesn’t affect me directly and since the policy on my leaves are already clear.

The leave conversion is the one that really has effects on me but I don’t really care much about it. My real plan is to use up my leaves but I was only given leaves during the last quarter of last year so they have to convert my leaves. Previous way is that one can convert 5 sick leaves, 5 vacation leaves and 3 emergency leaves to cash if you do not use it by the end of the year. When my new boss checked the written policy regarding that, and we were only entitled for leave conversion for the vacation leaves. I have no problem with that since I have used up 4.5 of my sick leaves and only 1 vacation leave and I still have 4 vacation leaves to convert. Hehe.

I think the one who really is affected by all of these is Madam. As they say, everything you do will get back to you sooner or later. She is currently debating with my boss regarding the leave conversion as I write this piece. Hehe. She even called someone asking about the policy.
