Two Words to Choke Upon


Given the fact that I am a newcomer in the industry of construction, I can give different meanings when I hear the word under construction. For what I am experiencing now that I’m outside the classroom, I can say that teacher or books hadn’t told anything yet. Not even a preview. Or maybe I was absent when lessons were taught. But Seriously, I should be ready for the real thing.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION- means a structure or establishment is renovated or being rectified or in the process of being established or developed.
Example: The road was closed because it is under construction.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION- means that something is considered under the category of construction.
Example: She belongs to the management while I belong under construction.

This Apartment Is Starving For An Argument

I’ve been renting a room for the past two months for my work. Perhaps I just want to try something else although I’m not experiencing great difficulties when I commute everyday considering the distance of my workplace to home. It’s not my first time to live this way because I lived in an apartment when I was in college for my thesis. Today, I made some computations for my daily expenses to gauge if it’s really worth the cost. Summing up the cost for renting a space from commuting everyday to home, there’s a pretty negligible difference. But the idea is that.

ADVANTAGE OF RENTING A SPACE:

YOU’RE JUST A RIDE AWAY TO OFFICE. You don’t have to hurry when you’re getting late for work.

DISADVANTAGE:
YOU’RE NOT AT HOME. Which means a lot of adjustments. You cannot do anything you want. What if there’s no water supply? You have to fall in line to take a bath in the morning when you’re renting a bed space.

YOU HAVE TO BUY EVERYTHING IN STORES OUTSIDE. Unless you can cook.

YOU HAVE TO BE INDEPENDENT. Coz mama’s not around to prepare your food or even wake you in the morning.

Thanks to the Man Who Created Virus

Computer viruses are now dominating the software and hardware industry. It’s inevitable and you really can’t escape from their existence once you face your computer. But come to think about it, Is it a curse or a gift? Everybody hates them for it offers a lot of interruptions and work failures. On the otherhand, the developer of these viruses have come to encourage programmers to develop systems to take actions from the harm. Because of the reaction, it has generated another branch in the computer industry and so forth jobs for millions of programmers in the world and boosts the I.T. industry. In the end, the third law of motion really counts for the scenario. So shall we blame the viruses? No one can definitely tell.

Meron akong kasamang engineer (not quite sure about his authenticity) na may masamang pananalita. Kapag naririnig ko na binabanggit niya ang salitang Kwan, naiirita ako. Sa loob ng isang minuto, mababanggit niya ito ng 59 beses. Nakakainis dahil ipinampapalit niya ang Kwan sa salitang hindi niya masabi. Ibig sabihin, hindi niya talaga masabi ang gusto niyang sabihin nang malinaw. Maliban ditto, masama pa ang accent niya dahil pabalang ito. Yung tipong boss na nagmamay ari ng pagkatao mo..Sa aking palagay, hindi magandang salita ito dahil nangangahulugan ito ng pagiging vague. Hindi mo masabi ang nais mong sabihin dahil kwan.Yung kwan eh kwan. Kapag kwan ito, siguradong kwan na. Ewan. Nakakairita talaga.

The Great Escape


I thought that Graduation was the terminal of all the hardships and sleepless nights but then, the real world was even worst. When you're in school, you can drop your subject if you can't take it but in reality if you do the same, you'll lose your job and be unemployed if you fail to make an important submission especially if it comes with a real big deal. There's no turning back now because everything lies in front of me and there's no choice but to take it or take it. Everybody moves and grasp every moment. If you stop, you see every regret in the end. Every minute counts. Now i know how it feel when you're in school and you want to work and when you're working, you wanted to quit but quitting wasn't an option anymore.

Fish Out of Water


I'm missing home.I'm living my life independently as it seems and its really surprising how things come this way subsequently. It's just like yesterday when i woke up with a family to see in the morning. I wish i could go back home soon. And i wish that my home would be back like it was before..Soon.

Kill The Crab

I’ve been employed in a small company for almost one month. So far, I’ve been doing a lot of observations since I’m a newcomer and new to the real world. This is my first job and I don’t know when will it last. Honestly, there’s a lot of pressure I’ve encountered from the working environment, the people in the company and the nature of my work. Since I’m a rookie, I’ve been dominated with people who think they are in the position to dominate. Probably because of their age or maybe, their position. Or maybe they see me as a threat for their employment. Since I’m young, aggressive and hardworking and computer literate. Every little step I make, there will be an eye to see if there’s a room for mistake. Perhaps this is the environment of a company especially for a Filipino company. Maybe I’m too young to be defeated but I’m overwhelmed that they see me as a threat, cause it challenges me to improve what I have. In the end, only the best shall prevail.
