while i was in the middle of enjoying my vacation i received a text message from my brother. he said "baha pa ba jan sa mandaluyong?" i replied without much thinking of the situation "i don't know. im here in hk". we continued our stroll in the city. while we are having our dinner that night a news flash was shown on the tv set showing bf and gma helping those affected by the flood. i never realized it was this catastrophic until i got here. from the airport i did not go straight home. we opted to stay in a hotel. unfortunately for us all the hotels we went to for a short stay were already full. imagine the horror. it was 2am already. luckily we tried the new hotel near sm west and got a suite for a not so expensive price.
anyway i will post some of the pics soon when i have time again. emo mode muna para kay #$%^&.
Yes. i am glad to share that i passed my first out of four exams in CCNP. Yipee. I am not so stupid after all. BSCI really shook my brain. I will be taking ONT and ISCW next and BCMSN next. I am not sure if i got the names of the exams correctly. See that's what i am talking about. Getting CISCO certification is not a walk in the park. I might need them anyway in the future.
On the lighter side of the news, i joined the franchising business. Well its not that big yet but a hundred thousand is still a hundred thousand cold cash coming out of my pocket. So i am hoping the business will be good. Its a good/tested/well-known brandname actually so there is nothing to worry. And its partnership. So i am going to hunt "you" down if the business failed hehehe. ROI might be longer but months easily pass by. And i am helping the economy by employing other people. :)
Need to keep my feet on the ground.
its been raining for the past week. i am not so sure if there's a storm coming. i cannot go out to the mall and i am stuck in front of my laptop.
anyway i am glad i stayed here in my room today. i was able to clean my cave which i could say is already becoming a spider's colony with its web intertwined above my bed. and did i forgot to mention my floor needs vacuuming? the collection of dust i had accumulated in the past months he he he. i have some excuses in working out but right now with these, exercise is an understatement. no pictures allowed hehehe. really messy

Procrastination takes its toll on me. If only i have booked early we won't be like this. Gee. i hate myself right now. I had planned on staying in TsimTsaTsui now we are staying in Mongkok. Anyway its really not a great deal.
Its my 3rd time so hopefully i won't get lost. He he he.
Travelling is sometimes stressful. If you are not well-prepared and there are no plans or itineraries you won't be able to do as much things as you like. Unless of course somebody has to do that for you.
I like to travel a lot but everytime i go places someone fixes everything for me. Booking of planes, hotels etc were taken cared of and i am just ready to pay my share on the bill. Typically me.
I am not complaining at all. just sharing my thoughts. :)

I am not really into any kind of online games even when i signed up for my facebook account. i always managed to ignore those requests for the games apps like the famous mafia wars and poker.
recently almost all of my coworkers are into this planting game which really caught my attention. for some reason i was kind of tempted to have one of these game apps. i let a day or two passed and i still see them planting and even saw some fields having some barns, ponds, livestocks, and crops of different variety neatly landscaped on their farmland.
it only took me a few prodding before i began my very own mini-farm. before i knew it i am one of those farmers begging in the marketplace to hire me for additional earnings. above as you can see in my screen-shot are newly planted seeds, some are 60% grown, and some are ready for harvest.
my ccnp studies is surely affected but this one particular game makes my time worthwhile instead of engaging in some illegal activities like taking drugs or drinking and getting into trouble. i have mentioned before that i am not into saving this world. there are those people who were born for that calling and i am just one of the small fishes in this big pond called earth who manages to live by day after day after day. if you have a problem with that i don't care. mind your own life.
so many things to do yet so little time i have. wait. we are all given 24 hours a day. i think what i need to do is to budget my time. what do you think?
most important:
study ccnp
need to go to the bank
need to buy some books
clean my room
do the laundry
least important:
facebook
friendster
multiply
not a priority:
save the world (or at least for now)
another rainy saturday afternoon here in the third world. i had a blast last night and went home around 3am. we went to eastwood with my vzb friends to have a late dinner then met also former co-workers who were still working with my previous company. videoke till 2am in corinthian ktv. got a message that my shift for this coming month is still the same. meaning 9am to 6pm. yey.
i already started my np review so hopefully i would be able to take the exam before my certification expires.
no plans yet for the rest of the day. im still tired.
tomorrow will go to ccf near megamall to attend whatever they are doing there. no idea really. sorry.

ciao.
