Year 2006 Rewind
Year 2006 has been good to me and my family. As 2007 is fast approaching, it’s time to recall what happened this year:
1. Full of travel adventures. My family went to the beautiful Bohol, ugly Cebu (sorry Cebuanos), amazing Davao, magical Hong Kong, and my future home, Singapore. I also went to Nanjing, China for the SES conference. It’s been a wonderful experience for me and my family. More travel adventures by 2007!
2. Attending birthday parties. I couldn’t recall how many birthday parties did we attended this year. I think it’s more than 10 parties.
3. I resigned to my previous employer, went on a “sarap-buhay” mode, then found a new employer.
4. Better financial standing, big thanks to G, TLA, and AM!
5. Reunion with my college barkadas after 8 years. It’s good to know that everyone from our BIOS group has a successful career and life. See you again in our next reunion!
6. Janssen is now a kid! We just celebrated his birthday last Dec 17 as our token of gratitude for this wonderful year. Janssen is getting bigger and smarter, i think he’s much smarter than me. Janssen is our lucky charm!
Looking forward to a much better 2007!
Transformers The Movie
I couldn’t believe it, my favorite cartoon show, Transformers is now a movie! The Transformers Trailer is now available. Go Optimus Prime, Hound, Jazz, and Bumblebee! Beat Megatron!
A New Career
Long vacations are over for me. I just started a new chapter in my career last Monday. I always thought I’m already retired! Well, I find this a job as another personal challenge for me. I think this would define what I’m really capable of accomplishing. It’s also a new opportunity for me to explore, meeting new faces, build relationships with my co-workers, and most of all, travel in US.
I felt unusual during my first day. I’m not used to wearing long sleeves, slacks, black socks and leather shoes. I need to buy more clothes this weekend. My closet is full of jeans, t-shirts and polo shirts, so i really need to buy more formal clothes. My office is located in Makati, so i’m even adjusting on how to arrive at work on time. Maybe, it’s time to buy a car. Fortunately, my co-employees welcomed me in their office. I didn’t have any problems working with my previous co-workers (except bosses), so i don’t see any problem working with them.
Currently, i’m analyzing the existing operations and planning our goals for the next year. Hopefully, we’ll meet our goals. Wish me luck!
