The Moving On To Adulthood Chronicles.  MOTAC.  Hahaha sorry I couldn't help but laugh.  What a stupid acronym.

I actually tried job hunting today, via the internet.  Wow, the internet is amazing.  Yeah, you just had to know that too because reading this blog, I don't think you came to realize that.  

There are a lot of jobs out there, and a lot of them specifying "Male".  What the hell does that have to do with anything?  But well, I'm not in the mood to talk about gender inequality, especially since I just celebrated Mother's day with my family last night.  

(On that note though, one of my uncles made a speech about God making the women more beautiful than men so they'd be cherished, etc.  And I knew he meant well but having done a thesis totally related to that I had a lot of things going on in my head and caused me to stay quiet the whole evening lest I shock the children)

FYI, the job I'm looking for is nothing of specific nature.  It just needs to fit with my schedule when I'll be studying again in November, so it's preferably part-time.  Oh and it has to be something I'm capable of doing, in case that isn't one of the usual criteria. -_-

Considering I'm a fresh BS Architecture graduate, I went for the Engineering/Archi related ones first.  I wasn't sure if they were looking for part-timers with their job descriptions but the phrase "can work overtime" was a common one.  Well, it is kind of expected in this field.

CAD operators were quite a hit too.  But again the phrase just turns me off.  And didn't I mention some posts back that I'd scratch my eyes out the next time I do something on CAD again?  Especially if they ask me to "work overtime".  I know what that phrase means.  

My friend Enriqueh actually struck the gold mine when I got news of the work he got into.  His job was something like writing the concept papers and critique for the designs of the __________ firm. Not the best firm but that's one helluva kick-ass job if you ask me!  I'm salivating with jealousy.  Well, not really.  Just a teeny bit, like, 2% of my consciousness.

I found a similar job description though.  It says:

What would you do if you are in a situation to pay for your living expenses and unforeseen emergency needs? And you don’t have credit cards of your own? All you have is your job and waiting for payday? Why not try payday loan? These began as a way for low to middle income workers to [...]

I love animals as much as kids love them.I would never get tired of going to the zoo here even if I have been there for 3 times already.Now that we have a baby,I guess I would be bringing her there every Spring for we have this free pass and free parking that police organization is sending out to every family as their compliment to the officers.

Sharing you one of my shots when in the zoo.

If you own a business and a frequent flyer to any states here in America then you need an jet charter that could take you to your meeting without delaying the schedule.You can only do this by renting a jet charter for yourself so you will arrive to your destination on time without any hassles or not needing to line up with other people in the airport.What do you think of taking a jet charter for you? It is just wise to be doing it.

We had a blast with my friends and my baby today.First we went to hear the mass at St.Elizabeth Seaton Church at 11 then headed directly to Pinoy resto for lunch.We had a small feast there.The foods are just yummy and mouth watering one.

I was using my paypal card paying my part as we take part of the bill.I saw the cashier swipe my card twice but I did not mind for I thought she was just making a mistake.When I saw my paypal transaction tonight,I got wide-eyed for she charged me double of how much I owe.Naks,looks like it's going to be a long drive for my husband this weekend for I'm going to ask my money back.

I know some of my friends' kids are turning one pretty soon and they are asking me if I know a website where they can buy birthday cards for birthday invitations that does not cost them much. I just happen to surf www.thepartystartshere.com that has tons of cards to choose from with different designs.Kids' party should be themed as balloons or any fun stuff so that it will become a memorable one.If you are in need of party stuff,just go check the website for yourself.

I am so addicted to blogging now that wherever I go, I make sure I bring my lappy with me so that I still be able to chase opps even if I'm away from home. And who is not addicted to the internet? I am pretty sure that it's not only me who is hooked up to computer,my friends as well. Rose's house became an internet cafe for few hours when all her 3 friends decided to go see her in her place and do blogging there.

AutoTerminal.com South (ATSAM) has added Stolen Vehicle Check to complement its already stringent quality control procedures.

This latest procedure protects ATSAM’s customers from acquiring illegally imported cars. The Interpol recently intensified its campaign to curb on the influx of illegal cars and catch unscrupulous traders.

ATSAM has more than 450 delivery-ready LHD and RHD vehicles located at its inventory center in Iquique, Chile.

Each of these vehicles undergoes full ownership history checks. Previous ownerships are verifiable through official land transportation databases in Japan and USA, or any of the source countries.

ATSAM guarantees its customers all rights and compensation provided for under Japanese law, in the unlikely event a customer have acquired an illegally imported car.

Before ATSAM vehicles arrive in Chile, they undergo thorough inspections in a modern facility of ATSAM’s supplier, IBC Japan, for any mechanical or exterior damage.

Only vehicles that meet IBC Japan export standards get the Auto Terminal Seal of Quality.

Customers could look at detailed pictures of these vehicles at www.autoterminal.com South America.

AutoTerminal.com South America (ATSAM) recently received delivery of more than 70 units of original left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles.

Included in the shipment were best-selling LHD brands in America like Honda, Toyota, Hummer, GMC, Ford, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Lincoln, Dodge, Infiniti, Nissan and Mitsubishi.

These vehicles are quality pre-owned units sourced from the US that have not undergone any steering conversion procedures. Faulty steering conversions affects the vehicle’s safety grade, decreases its performance and road-worthiness.

This is welcome news for South Americans in the Caribbean, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay, who drive LHD vehicles. With an abundant stock of LHD vehicles to choose from, they get premium on purchases without compromising safety.

ATSAM maintains a distribution hub for South America in Iquique, Chile and has more than 450 ready-for-delivery vehicles in its yard located in v. Salitrera Victoria Mz E Sitio 48-B, Barrio Industrial Zofri Iquique, Chile.

Customers could check these vehicles – complete with details and pictures – at www.autoterminal.com South America.

ATSAM is part of the AutoTerminal.com group, a leading global distributor of quality used vehicles sourced from Japan, USA, Singapore and Thailand. It maintains inventory centers not only South America but also in Africa, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe and New Zealand.

Guess who has weird dreams. I dreamt of football cleats last night. I was at this remote village with friends (I can't remember who) and everywhere little sari-sari stores were selling different cleats for very reasonable prices. The little stores had them hanging by their laces and I remember trying to decide whether to text everyone about this ridiculous bargain or just buy a pair for myself.

Those of you using a GSM system cellphone will now be able to do some great saving. Instead of being forced to buy from your phone account provider because their phones are the only ones that will work on their system, you can now buy an unlocked phone that is able to work on many GSM systems. The previous way you could do this was to pay a separate bill to have a new phone from another supplier unlocked after purchase, and this added to the risk that the unlocking process might go wrong, resulting in wireless phone damage. A great way to increase your cellphone purchasing options.

Buy.com are making the great deals available again! I just bought a wireless router in a local store to me, for over 56 bucks, and now they are on sale as the featured best buy for under $50 - actually $48.99 which beats the opposition hands down. The weekly deals at buy.com offer the best buy that you can find online or locally.

Losing weight can be difficult, or you can make it easier by getting help. One theory is that the metabolism is slowed by toxins, so by dealing with the toxins, the metabolism is able to then deal with keeping the weight under control.
Orovo detox is a product that works on that theory, and has been proven to be successful, as the toxin theory mentioned applies to about 70% of men and women.
Orovo.com have weight loss products, as well as acne treatments and muscle builders.

I have just been watching Survivor on TV, and the winner was Parvaty. So, I had entered a draw at work, we all put in some cash, and got a ticket with a name on it, and mine was Parvaty. So, she wins a million bucks, and I win about a hundred. Trouble is, I left the place to start up my own business, so I will have to hope that the holder of the funds is honest!

So how was your Mother’s Day celebration? Mine was great! We just celebrated it here in the house. The husband bought a cake and foods. We didn’t went out because we had visitors. It wasn’t fancy but I am happy because my 3 boys are here with me;-) The little boy greeted me with a song. He’s really growing up! I wanted to share the pic of the foods and some friends but I’ll post photos of my kids instead because it was all about them with the special day! They complete me and made me a Mom

The other day, my friend Kiko asked me “Coi, naa ka diri ugma”? (Coi, are you going to be here tomorrow?). “Uhuh, ngano?” (Yes. Why?) I replied. “Naa man gu’y urban challenge ugma. Basi gusto ka mag picture. Diri man gud ang isa ka challenge sa race.” (There will be an urban challenge tomorrow. I was thinking, maybe you want to take pictures. One of the challenges in the race will be held here. ). “Ah, ok. Sige lang, basi madala nako akong cam ugma”. (Oh yes, maybe I can bring my cam tomorrow).

The next morning, I was able to bring my camera after getting it from my bro’s office. It was 2:30 p.m. already when I was on the way to Kiko’s house. I was riding a jeepney. As we passed by Bankerohan Bridge, I saw a girl jogging as if she was going after something or someone. Suddenly, a sweaty man leaped from the side of the jeepney and I realized he’s a teammate of that girl. They’re the participants of the urban race.

As I enter the compound where Kiko’s place is located, I saw 3 flags formed in a straight line. I also saw Kiko, his wife’s son, Bams, and a couple of kids waiting for the participants to arrive. I also saw Smooch wearing a T-shirt of the said event. I wonder what her participation in the event.. hmm.. By the way guys, I want you to meet Smooch…

… a 2 year old Great Dane. Here she is with Strawberry.

The task is that you will Walk with Smooch in a zigzag form passing through those flags. Easy isn’t? You bet!

Now here are the participants doing the task..

I don't know what the guys are thinking here.. hehe.
Here's Puff (Left) and Sniff (Right). I think they're figuring out how can they get this cookie.

Finally visited the Paco Park (when it was open), as part of Sam’s mother’s day treat for me. Didn’t have much time to sit and ruminate under the shade of the old acacia trees because we had Maia the whirling dervish with us, but we did get to walk both the outer and inner circles of the concentric cemetery. And take pictures.

Paco Park Entrance Archway Detail

Ama and Maia at the Inner Circle of tombs.

The Fountain and the Church of St. Pancratius

Maia and Ate Beng do a Ta-daah! at the Inner Circle Steps

This is the marker that was erected where our National Hero Jose Rizal was first buried after his execution at Bagumbayan Field. If you check out the wikipedia entry on the Paco Park you will see that the photo on that page is of the wrong marker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the Gomburza Marker, which on the wikipedia entry on Paco Park is mistakenly introduced as the Marker for what used to be the tomb of Jose Rizal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the inscription at the archway of the entrance of the Park. I have Googled for every possible spelling for the first word: beatiaorium, beatiaortum, beatiaortura — it may even be in Latin. What it means is something that escapes me right now, as much as the name John immediately under that word. If there is anyone out there who happens to read this post and can enlighten me, please leave a comment below.

Tapos na ang training namin di ko nakuha yung goal ko for this week
they gave me until Wednesday to reach that goal if not then its goodbye
na. Masaya ako kung makuha ko pero okay na rin kung hindi I'm really
starting to think if this is the right career for me.

Dami na rin akong callers na medyo sira ang tuktok pero
di ako affected sa kanila. If I can't find whatever it is
that they want me to find then what can I do.

Kakainis rin na marami kailangan i-sacrifice like
di naman ako makapunta sa scrapfest kasi galing
ako sa shift tapos wala akong tulog baka naman
mag collapse ako dun. Pero ganun talaga pag
magulang ka na everything as to take the a back

The Nokia N81 8GB is a smartphone with a mix of impressive features… and rather disappointing disadvantages. There’s the obvious advantage of having built-in 8 gigabytes of memory space for applications, games, music, videos, photos, what have you. Some mobile-phone critics have complained about the lack of an expansion slot for more memory, but 8 gigs should be pretty spacious for most people’s needs.

The N81 is a dual-camera 3G phone, but does not have support for HSDPA, which has been available for sometime now. It does, however, let you access the Internet via wifi, so that probably makes up for it. Accessing via wifi in various hotspots -– whether open networks or WEP-enabled secure networks -– didn’t give me any problems, except that websites loaded rather slowly at first. The built-in Web browser is user friendly, though, and looks nice on the 2.4” 16-million-color QVGA display.

As a prolific blogger, I could appreciate the N81 for its Internet capabilities, but then there are the downsides. First off, the keypad is way too small for me. The middle keys are OK, providing good feedback. But the keys on the bottom edge are difficult to use -– my finger keeps slipping!

Perhaps this handset was designed primarily for music and gaming, rather than for serious data input. At the bottom of the screen, where they phone-specific keys are located, there are extra buttons for music: play/pause, forward, rewind and stop. In fact, whatever you’re doing with the phone, you can play music with just a keystroke.

Another downside that I find very surprising is the camera. It’s only at 2 megapixels, and it’s not even a Carl Zeiss lens. Plus, the photos are grainy! No matter that the light is adequate, it can’t seem to take decent photos. Video is even worse.

But if we talk about music, that’s a whole different story on the N81! This handset has full stereo capability, having a speaker on each side of the rather thick body. The output is astonishingly powerful and will certainly delight any music lover who’s in the market for a portable and feature-packed phone-cum-player. And with 8GB, the N81 can store hours and hours of music.

Speaking of hours, the battery is one huge plus factor. Based on my near-abusive usage of the test unit, the N81 lasted two whole days before it bothered to ask me for a recharge. I had wifi turned on for several hours, was listening to music tracks, and texting people left and right during that time. I also had Bluetooth running so that I could listen on the Nokia BH-604 Bluetooth headset.

The BH-604 is an awesome headset! It’s a full stereo system that lets you enjoy music like you were in a concert hall, and it’s totally compatible with the N81.

If you value being constantly in touch with your online contacts, the N81 offers good value. With its wifi connectivity and large memory, you can download a whole range of Internet applications, on top of the pre-installed email and Web programs. I use the Nimbuzz client, which lets me connect to Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, Skype, ICQ, etc. all at the same time.

The N81 is also supposedly a gaming console, since it’s Nokia’s effort in promoting N-gage, its gaming platform. But at the retail price of around P17,200, and if you’re in it for the games, you’d probably be better off with a PSP.

One other thing I appreciate in this phone is its content search program. It has a built-in search facility for virtually anything that’s inside the phone’s memory. Search for a keyword, and the program returns results from all over the place, including SMS messages. And the search speed is pretty decent, too.

On the whole, it’s an affordable phone with powerful features. The disappointments could be overlooked, especially if you’re a mobile and music addict.

stranger,

no matter how small i think this city is, i know that i must concede certain secret corners, many dark alleys, and many of those faces that prowl its streets to the unknown. this city might be small but still it is large enough that i sometimes find myself lost in one of its criss-crossing streets, and sometimes in the eyes of someone like you.

like many this city, we have unknowingly managed to skirt past each other's consciousness, not knowing each other existed. another face in the crowd, we couldn't even be expected to remember each other's faces if we bumped into each other...

except that we didn't just bump into each other. it was more like a violent intrusion, an irritating distraction whose warranty for entertainment expired after only a few days.

i cannot stand the idea that someone like you exists. with your angel eyes, you came in and pulled the one card at the bottom of this house of cards i have built for so long, sending it crashing, fleeing into your direction. you came and stole words that in themselves were the language of an entire world made for two.

it is not a wonder then that even if i have never met you, stranger, i wanted to own the avenues and streets that lead to your side of the city. i want to break them, twist them, so that the chance that we'd accidentally find each other, a few feet, a few inches from one another would never materialize. cringing at the thought of forcing to give away pleasantries that i don't mean, i want to block my borders from you, if only to show how ridiculously different our worlds are.

but why is it that in my dreams i endure bloodbaths just to save you? why is it that in there, i phase through walls just to be beside you and hold your hand?
