Just When You Thought You Know It All

Just when you thought you knew everything you needed to know, you realize you knew little than what others already knew. In the race of being the best brain in the field, it felt like you were just getting started the race while others were already midway to the finish line. You stood there in awe like being wiped out by a giant wave despite of working hard day after day trying to learn how to tame it..... ride it ..... win it.

It frustrates me to lose on something I'm supposed to be good at. But I will never give up unless I die trying.

Someone ate my linked in account!?!?
For my existing contacts who arleady have me in Linked In, please add me again. My account seemed to have been consumed by the bottomless pit of bytes-eater. Linked in site cannot find my email address and says it did not even exist.

I would have been fine if the internet monster decided to feast on my facebook and friendster, but Linked In contains all my business contacts from MISNet, Thomson and Getronics. Now, I have to find them all again.

So please if you are so kind, add me within your network from De La Salle University, Thomson Financial and Getronics. If you need my email addy, please PM me.

Philippine Independence Day Photo Exhibit @ Suntec

Nais kong magpasalamat sa mga dumalaw para sa aming pagtatanghal. Sa mga di makabili ng plane ticket papuntang Singapore, eto po ang kaisa-isang litrato ko na nabigyan ng pagkakataong itanghal kasama ng mga piling gawain ng aking mga kasapi sa Pinoygraphers.

Ang mag litrato ngayon ay naka-tanghal sa 7107 islands sa Marina bay at Philippine Embassy. Inaanyaya namin kayong dalawin at tangkilikin ang aming mga piling gawain ng Pinoygraphers.

Maraming salamat po!!!! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas

Tough Week

For the past few weeks is nothing but buzzing with business. It should read busy-ness. And as I sit here resting until I buzz again to another task, I felt compelled to update this spot about what is happening in my life:

  • We won the Sharepoint Demo Shootout competition with Microsoft Singapore partners. Francis and I make a fantastic team when we did the presentation despite of having it put together in less than one week. Even if it is no biggie, I wouldn't mind having a 100 SGD voucher to use for the Great Singapore Sale (GSS)
  • As we go towards the end of Q2, a lot of prospects and opportunities have been cropping mostly internet and intranet projects from various industries. So I was busy with the Sales team chasing after them. I have created this insane addiction of browsing through GeBiz. Trust me, my hands are itching writing tenders to submit to nail one of these deals.
  • I'm certified Coca-cola zero junkie since early this week. It has enough caffeine to keep me going less the sugar.
  • Working on the booth presentation and POC for the Sharepoint Forum this July. Demo Blade servers are coming next week and I'm excited to get my hands on them. Waaah! Geek alert.
  • One of my IR photos is currently on exhibit at the Philippine Independence Day Celebration sponsored by the Philippine Embassy at Tropic Atrium in Suntec Convention Center. My photo is titled "El Nino". If you read this and currently in Singapore, please do find time to visit Pinoygrapher's photo exhibit tonight or tomorrow. If you are a real friend, please do check-out my photo entry.
  • Just got myself a DS-Lite which I have been playing for a month now. After so many months of waiting, I finally got my red DS Lite limited edition for a great deal of SGD 199. I finally got something to play during my 1-hour transit from home to office.
  • I haven't gone to the gym. Never made time for it after being so busy and tired from work. Wasted money on membership fee for non-usage. I need to motivate myself again but I forgot how.

Those are my updates so far. Sa uulitin
