Pre Note: This is one of those sappy posts that I just intend to write out of nowhere..

Here’s an outline:

Third Year College

It was a special year yet was also sad because its the last year of my crush (her – 3 year course). On to our last trime for that year, I talked to her for like an hour, gave her something cute and memorable and bid goodbye. Its kinda painful since she’s the ONLY woman that I had for college and if you know my history of liking woman (or the  lack of it), you would get why. Its nice because she catered to me and entertained my interest and from her own perspective, that’s something different since she doesn’t really talk to people that do seem to show some interest. Different on me eh? =p

OJT’s

Feu has this retarded policy of spending 620 hours somewhere as part of their On the job training program. I spent the first 360 at a wild jungle called ‘The Medical City’. I met great people there who taught me lots of things regarding computer hardwares and troubleshooting – two things I’m not good at. I also found lots of hot and beautiful nurses that I talked to sometimes although obviously any form of communication would be halted  by the time I completed the requirements. It was very very stressful physically but a whole lot of fun.

My next stop is in COA where I was a software programmer. I and a retard friend called Ely Cruz developed a tracking system for a department which was about tracking developed systems for their clients which are mostly government agencies as well. I never quite liked our mentor there named Ezra Palencia since he seemed to be an asshole to us yet I know given more time, we would be knowing and liking him more (and of course with us being removed the ‘interns’ tag). All in all it was fun since I got to make fun of Ely and his never ending failure in  life.

Last trime

Our last trime is colorful. We had this ADEPT thing (an english proficiency class) and we were mentored by a clearly perverted guy named Lloyd. It was also my first trime that I didn’t have Krish as an inspiration for going to school.

Again it was a good trime and I further solidified my relationship with my friends. It was also not that tough except for a subject called ‘Soft Development’ which was taught by a pimple-ridden professor.

Work.

I then worked for a software development company called WorldPartner/SplitmediaLabs and as of this writing, I’m still working there. Its fun there and its like nobody I’ve ever seen (both positively and negatively).

I was able to get my marketing head fired unknowingly and unintentionally and I was depressed at first. Long story short, I got her position and i was given a good raise although I am still one of the lowest paid employee in the company, if not one of the lowest. That makes me sad I guess. Even with that, I became close wiht a lot of people in our office and I overcame my initial 6-month period of being shy/. I’m now bubbly and I can now talk a bit. Talk about some improvement there.

So thats  it, thats the last few years of my life and this post was written with me being uhm, drunk or sort of to say the very least.

So I just took the entire next week as a VL which was immediately approved by Mr.Whitemanwhodoesntsleep. I was smart enough to acknowledge that there’s a long weekend next week  (Mon, Tue are holidays) so I took the last three days as a VL. When I sent the request, boss didn’t know yet about the holiday (I sent it last month) so I don’t think its my fault.

Plans for VL

My VL isn’t really a vacation but rather just focusing on other things. here we go:

• SEO consulting/freelance for 2 clients which is very labor-intensive and needs time.
• My own stuff (hint:melvinblog and all the craziness behind owning a flagship blog and doing some lame-ass product launch)
• De-stressing (massage, spa, sex, pampering, playing, you name it).
• Going to some place – Am planning to visit my relatives on some days.
• Shopping – will plan to buy some new stuff (mostly needed ones). And then will see the budget and look if I can buy the ‘wants’.

I hope boss doesn’t bug me too much w/emails and stuff. I mean its a vacation right? not a ‘work from vacation’ kind of thing.

Talk soon!

The latter part of the year is usually the part where I get very busy.. Last year, it was because I just got started working then I had some projects plus, online marketing clients along the way.

This year is no different. I have a job, and then I tried reviving melvinblog.com by doing some crazy marketing shit on my part. I’m planning on having a product launch late this year. I also planned on doing some really good guides for newbs on how to do things and stuff like that. I sold lots of my web properties just to make sure I’m gonna focus on my blog as my SOLE project. Its also admitting myself that having lots of stuffs and thinking you can do all of them is nothing but a big JOKE. So yeah, melvinblog will take most of my spare time outside work.

On top of that, I have some SEO clients that are gonna be recurring at least up until the end of the year. I’m also being offered a job by my former Marketing boss although I’m still not sure if I’m gonna take it.

Overall, most of the shit have something to do with money and yes, its because I want to be responsible and be prepared for the future. There’s no harm in trying to accumulate as much money as possible, you know.
