Anxiously waiting...
I really really am anxious about the result of my application at Sydney. I can't wait to know if I am accepted. I have to know the result since this is very critical because I have to decide by Friday. Tomorrow, I will talk to my partner in-charge about my plans of leaving my current office. I really don't know how I will put on an alibi. But come to think of it, this is reality. This is what I want. This is something that I will not just decide for a day but I have already considered it since the aftermath of '05 busy season. I realized that I've served my purpose at SGV. I already learned enough and contributed positively to the firm. It is the high and right time to give myself a glimpse of the future that I really want. I believe that moving to Australia is one goal I will really want and would not regret. So whatever happens whether I get accepted or not. I think I have all the reason not to stay. For one, I can't stand the bulk of work which does not match my current salary. I do not get the value that is right for the services I'm rendering for the firm. Plus, the opportunity in working at a world-class firm being one of the best in training @ Oz. On a negative side (if ever I will not get accepted) I already have a fallback since last Thursday I already received a work offer in Jakarta. I would want to go there with my friends. But the thing is I have to decide ASAP and I need Sydney's results to close a decision.

just checkin'
Lemme check if this is working just fine... Wanna create a new page for my new life as a nonSGVian! LoLz.. If this ain't working then gotta fix 'em up first. but definitely, the template will change if I have more time. gotta put some xtra just to be kewl. :)
My Personal Leave...
I really feel weak today not physically but from what I've been doing at the office. Though I have recently been under my asthma attacks, still don't have the energy to pursue things I gotta accomplish like ML, AWS, and all those crap. I mean look at my desk both at the office and at my home. It's a total wreck for crying out loud. I can't seem to find the intensity I need to boost my spirit in finishing all things that I still need to do.
Anyway since I am on leave at the moment. I rejuvinated. Found a bit inner peace in me. Caught up with my sleep, rest, and of course my unwatched DVDs that are begging to be watched. In short, I just bummed around. I still got a zillion things to wrap up at the office but I just can't seem to face the fact that I have to do it. I have to finish them in order to move on. In order to face another era of my life. I just can't focus this past few days. I think the reason is that I still don't know what I'm looking for. I still don't know if that is what I want. And I still have no definite plans of moving out. This uncertainty cripples my present. It makes the wounds look deeper. Til uncertainty diminishes and the picture clears, I think I can't move on. I still don't know what I am looking for.
Til then, i still have some hours left on my leave and gotta enjoy this thing!

The job hunting has just begun..
I started giving out my resume last month and guess what two firms have already given me various interviews. I am really anxious to move to another location. Not that I totally hate my current job. Its just that I want to attain my goal which is to live a stable life and build a nice career in a 1st world country. I want to establish a nice paying job that would help not only sustain my luxurious living but at the same time save for the rainy days. Right at this moment I feel that I can land a job somewhere down under. I can't imagine my life living alone and coping on my own. I have not tried staying at one place for more than 10 days. The last time I experience that was when I was in Korea where I work for 9 days. Its a wonderful experience but to be living in a totally diverse place is different. But I will always think positive. I know for a fact that I enjoy adventures, challenges, and exploring the different cultures.
As far as job hunting is concerned I am already on the 80-90% progress of closing a deal/job offer. I still have to make good on both of my last interviews. I have to see to it that I am really prepared when I go for the kill. The last reality check has been decades. I have to reassess what my goals are and my strengths and all those crap. The last time I had my interview was a disaster for me for not being able to practice and not being able to highlight my points. But I think I farely did well in some aspects (such as my experiences of IFRS). Well, what more can I do but wait. As what I am accustomed to be doing while waiting for the final outcome.. I have to get the positive and negative aftershocks. But I'd rather post it in another blog entry since I should be sleeping by now. I feel free by the way because I already told my immediate senior director about my plans. Although at first I did not see any trace of supportiveness in him. But as we talked more detail, I know for a fact that he understands my predicament and that somehow he would want to support me but he is just too cheesy to say anything regarding the career I chose to live my life.
Hopefully everything will turn out right. I just pray that whatever is the ultimate decision of my interviewers I will be able to accept them and concur that it is God's plan for my own improvement and living the life he wanted me to have.

@ diego garcia
I'm here @ diego garcia. We boarded via ATI. Too bad we did not have a chance to take a military flight. Anyway, I saw some of the military planes and its really cool. On this island (situated beside on the right of Africa and left of India) you can see that there are a lot of restrictions and at the same time you can see that this small island is complete with all that you need. And to add, most of them are for free. Anyway, I have to finish all my reports and just continue the procedures on the coming days to see and tour the island. Of course, my job will come first before enjoying what the island can offer. I'll post some preliminary pictures of the magnificent beach and the quarters I'm staying, which is fully-furnished and I'm actually enjoying my little vacation.

@ sg airport
im here at singapore airport. just killing time off. ive been here for about 5 days already and what can i say? theres a lot of place to visit here. given the scarcity of resources, i really have to select my destination. sentosa, i must say is the most fun place to be. although i havent been to the gmax thingey where there is a human slingshot. i got turned-off because of what happened in the local news that one of its rubbers snapped. although theres no fatality, its still dangerous as i see it. i have to return to my story in awhil as my boss is already finished checking his email. i will relay to you my 5-day adventure here. i have to go back to the philippines today but i will go back next week i think. hopefully, and i cross my fingers, with accompany. as he said that he might not accompany me in DG.
