Marunong ka ba ng HTML? Mas maganda kung marunong ka ng CSS (kung hindi ayos lang). At marunong ka ba gumamit ng tools tulad ng Macromedia Dreamweaver, Microsoft Frontpage, o kahit anong pang-edit ng website? (para mas astig ang webdesign tulad nitong blog ko.)

Marunong ka gumamit ng Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator o kahit anong pang-edit ng graphics?

Sa madaling salita, marunong ka ba gumawa ng template ng Tabulas o ng kahit anong blog? (Hindi. Hindi ka gagawa ng template ng blog!) Pero kung marunong ka, malamang kaya mo tong trabaho na to.

Kung ganon, may pagkakataon ka nang maging kasapi ng aming opisina.

Kami ay matatagpuan sa Philippine Stock Exchange Building sa Ortigas Center, Pasig City.

Interisado ka ba? Ipadala ang iyong resumé sa alvin@discountwave.com.


At syempre magpakilala na rin kayo at ibigay ang URL ng website nyo kung maaari para cute.








Evaluation

Under evaluation na pala ako these past few days. Kailan lang ay may sinagutan na akong self-evaluation form. Nahirapan akong magsagot, baka kasi maging iba yung impact sa evaluator (tama ba term ko?) ng mga isinulat ko. Baka sabihin nila mayabang ako, pero naging totoo lang ako sa mga isinagot ko roon tungkol sa kung ano na ang mga nagawa ko para sa kompanya sa loob ng anim na buwan kong pamamalagi doon.

Di ko pa alam ang magiging resulta dahil sa totoo lang, alam ko naman hindi magiging maganda ang sasabihin sa akin ng kliyente ko. Pero sa tono ng pananalita ng CEO namin, mukhang ok naman ako... sana.

Magdadasal na lang ako.

My new Keyboard


This favorite post was written last January 28, 2007 04:30 AM .

Since December last year, I had been searching for an affordable keyboard which has a realistic sound of a piano. The first ones that I've seen are Casio instruments. They have such cool effects and a lot of functions as well. But they sound like... not that realistic enough. But there's one who captured my heart... the Casio Privia. I was planing to buy this one, but it costs around Php 43,000-44,000. If I would buy that, I should save money for a whole year of 2007.

But then again, I still looked around for more options. As I walked around a mall, I saw some Korg and Yamaha keyboards. These two brands are known to be VERY costly, but I know they have the standards I am looking for.  So I took a preview anyway. First, I played some notes on those cool-looking ones and I was happy with how they sound. Way, way much better than those Casio keyboards. But it costs not as worthy as the Casio Privia.  So I looked around for more. Then I took a peek on their cheapest one, the Yamaha PSR-203 (the one in the picture).

Yamaha PSR-0203
I bought this new Yamaha Keyboard last January 16.
I was surprised to heard such realistic sound from a cheap instrument (at least cheaper than the rest) like that. So I decided that I will buy this one by January. It costs around 13,000 Pesos that time.

As I got my first pay this year, I went straight to a Yamaha store in Makati (Thanks to my mom and tita for directions).  That is one cool place. All sorts of musical instruments are in there: from pianos to drums, to flutes, trumpets, guitars and many more.

And of course, I used my haggling skills (hehehe). From thirteen thousand, I made it as cheap as 10,000. So I bought it, along with an adaptor and stand (12,000 something in total).

Now I can practice better. But someday, I will buy that Casio Privia.

TUWING PAGKATAPOS NG MISA, araw ng Linggo, ay nagkakaroon ng pagpupulong ang Parish Youth Ministry sa gilid ng simbahan.

Kagabi, malamig ang simoy ng hangin, para bang Buwan ng Disyembre. At naroon lang ako nasa isang tabi, nakatayo at inoobserbahan ang ibang kabataan. Napansin ko na nagkakatuwaan sila at marami na sa kanila ang may mga matalik na kaibigan na sa loob ng grupo. At napatanong tuloy ako sa sarili ko, "Mag-iisang taon na ako dito. Pero bakit wala ata akong maituring na bestfriend dito?" Pakiramdam ko tuloy ay naiinggit ako sa kanila.

Maayos naman ang pakikitungo ko sa kanila, at aktibo naman ako kahit papaano, sa kabila ng pagiging abala ko sa trabaho. Pero... parang may kulang pa rin.

MARAHIL naghahanap lang ako ng kausap. Di ko na napansin ang nagdaang panahon na nalagpasan ko ang mga personal kong problema na wala man lang kinakausap na ibang tao tungkol doon, at aaminin ko na muntik na ata ako mabaliw noon (hahaha!)  Kasi naman sarili ko na lang ang kinakausap ko pag may problema, o kaya ginagawa ko na lang abala ang sarili ko sa trabaho.

MINSAN iniisip ko kung may karapatan ba akong magtampo dun sa mga itinuturing kong matalik na kaibigan, na nawawala sila pag kailangan ko. Pero napagtanto ko na ako pala yung nawawala.

NAISIP ko lang na hindi na pala tama yung ginagawa ko ngayon. Sabi nila, dapat daw balanse yung oras mo pasa sa trabaho, sarili, pamilya, kaibigan, sosyal na pamumuhay, at buhay-ispirituwal.  

Sa tingin ko, masyado kong naibuhos sa trabaho ang lahat.

Minsan iniisip ko kung masyado lang ba akong matatag at sapat na ang sarili ko para ayusin ang gusot sa buhay ko, o sadyang mapag-isa lang ako.

Akala ko pa naman noon, kung magkakaroon na ako ng maayos na trabaho, magiging masaya na ako.

Siguro talagang walang kaligayahan ang tao (unless mapunta ka sa heaven!)

Sentimyento lang 'to ng taong walang kumakausap sa kanya.
---------------------------------

To my friends, of past and present:

Probably I lack of my presence,
And I am not that expressive,
But this I will tell you:
I will be wherever and whenever I am needed most.
I'm just a text message away.


It's nice to hear "Huwag kang mangamba" by Himig Heswita .
