My First Task

Just when I thought I will be bored here in my new work for a month, my boss suddenly gave me a task last week. This explains why I failed to update this blog despite the commentaries I gave before. The task was a little new but nothing that I could handle (yeah! that’s the spirit!). Though I admit going on a slight panic upon learning what I was to do, maybe it was just because of the terms my boss used in explaining it to me. My solution was fuzzy at first, but after the analysis of the problem phase (wow! so teacher-like no?) I came up with a number of inquiries due to the vague instructions given to me (blame it on him!).
Doing the task was so exciting that I forget its time to leave the office already. I was used to exchanging text with some friends and consuming my entire load I have before but after the assignment given to me, I was on my own again. The feeling of doing something that will be used by the our division is big time for me already as opposed to before that I am used to preparing lectures, exams, and set ups for my students only. Not that I am undermining it, but back then, I was the boss … to my students, plus setting up something or doing a project was always based on my decisions. It’s sometimes scary here when they ask me about something that I haven’t encountered yet. It’s just a matter of pretending you encountered it and saying, “Sige sir, try ko!”
Just finished the task in hand so I am back to “feeling” busy: writing blogs, taking phone calls, texting friends, and reading pdf manuals again.

The Chronicles of Narnia

My wife and I got to see Narnia last weekend when we headed to Binan. It was sort of a date to the movie house since our daughter was always held up by my parents when we’re in town. My wife got to shop a little as she always grumbles that she is running out of clothes. I just smile when she says her dialogues because I know for a fact that the ratio of her clothes to mine is 3:1. Shoes not included there (for shoes, its 4:1). Anyway, she was not that happy of her choices even though we bought a total of 3 blouses already. There was really not much good buys as stores are in sale that day. Shopping made us lose track of time so we arrived in the cinema exactly at the time of the screening. Good thing we bought guaranteed seats (no sure seats available in this place) and managed to be seated. Unfortunately, we ate our ‘baon’ - funnel cakes (crunchy, yummy and sweet) apart because no two adjacent seats were available already (…so anti-climatic).
Narnia was good. It’s comparable to the Never Ending Story to me only with better effects. My wife liked it too though she brags about her all time favorite – Return to Oz is better than this movie. To add to her addiction to the RTO, it became one of our life’s goals to find a copy of this movie. Hehehe.

Mall Discovery

It was also last weekend when we discovered a nice mall in Cavite. It’s another SM branch in Dasma but with zero traffic, windy parking areas, wider spaces to lurk around and good boutiques. This is also where we had a part two for the shopping of the woman who is running out of clothes (hehehe peace mom!). We had a good buy and brought home five additional blouses (for a grand total of 8 blouses) for my beautiful and sexy wife (hehe retribution). Don’t get me wrong, but it always feels good to make your woman happy.
