I remember the day I got the news that I will be joining Team 4, I was so like this “waah, bakit don ako ilalagay?!” hehehe. If I could only refuse the management, I would. hahaha. But then again, I dont have a “SAY” back then because I’m still not a regular employee that time. Team 4 is known to be the “serious shift”. Sbi nila, makakatulog ka daw palagi kc sobra tahimik ng mga tao. Knowing myself, being a loud and jolly person, how can I survive a 12-hour shift that was like that? *sigh* and it’s true that first impression never lasts. They were all wrong about the team.  I feel so blessed having them as my first co-workers. Entering the ‘real world’ isn’t that scary as it may seem way back when I was still studying because of them. Some people said that it’s hard to find a company wherein you are happy with your work and at the same time happy with your working environment (that includes the management and the people).  It’s either you like your work but your boss is a bitch or you don’t like your work but your boss is hot, then you became the bitch. Hahaha. Cheesecorn! A happy working environment + a good management are one of the big factors why I still chose to stay here. I’m so lucky that I get to enjoy both worlds.  At naun, para kameng ngipin na nabungi, wala na un wisdom tooth sama mo na pati pangil (because our Unix Ad will also transfer to a different co.). 

Team 4

To Sir Fath (pat) : Thank you for all the lessons I learned from you, for being a mentor, a friend, a brother, photographer, a father, an enemy (sometimes), and a playmate (most of the time).  I’ll never forget those times that you covered our assess for those failures we don’t intend to commit. For those heart to heart talks that enlightened me what career path should I pursue.  And lastly, for those photoshoot moments, libre, videoke, mooncake festival, gala moment during weekends, pghatid after ng gimik and etc. Thank You po.

Mel:  Be happy on your new company. You’re one of the reasons why I get motivated on pursuing a career on UNIX.  (wala ng mgte-train sa kin).

Team 4 will never be Team 4 without you guys. Wherever we may be our heart as Team 4 will always beat as one. Hahaha. Cheers!

sabi ko dati...

pero di ko natiis... hehe

 Another good find that i’d like to share. Been an addict to this bread for the for the last two weeks. Non-chalant sa diet. hehehe.  It costs 160 php and you can find this at any SM supermarket weekend bazaars.  Worth every penny. 

mukha bang msarap?

I’m trapped in a prison of self-hatred. [Lifted from chico garcia's the best and the rest entry]. Hating things is a bad idea. While you hate something, you remain invisibly connected to it – so it will tend to hang around. I hate myself for being the person I wasn’t anymore. By giving more of me, I lose myself in the process. Getting angry, or fighting doesn’t even work. What I learned was, to overcome what you don’t like by accepting what is – not resisting – and replacing with something positive. Loving people means giving them the freedom to be who they choose to be and where they choose to be. Love is allowing people to be in your life out of choice. To have something or someone, you let go.

While cleaning my room, I found a book and these lines caught my attention.

Our experience of emotional pain operates along the same lines. If we are hurting emotionally, it is a message that we need to change our     approach or see things differently. If we feel hurt, let down or dumped by someone in our life, the message may be, “Love those in your life     without expectations. Accept them as they are and take what they want to give without judgement. Altenatively, the message may be, “Don’t let the actions of others destroy your own self-esteem.

It’s up to you how you see things. If it’s half-empty or half-full. Well, I think the moral lesson of all these is, if you want to change the way you feel, better change the way you think. hahaha. Easier said than done. [sigh] How do I avoid being depress when I’m depressed? Now, tell me. hehe.

Two months ago we bought the latest release of Dell Notebooks, its the Dell Inpiron I-1420. Since its Dell and it’s cheaper compared to other brands [i.e. HP, Lenovo, etc. ] we decided to stick with Dell.  And now, I’m hearing so many negative news about the Inspiron series of Dell notebooks.   I remember the first time I told my friend [who is also working with Dell] that I already bought a laptop. I was shocked when he told me that the first series of Dell Inspiron batteries are exploding due to overheat. And so I checked the internet if its true and if the series the we bought have the same battery. And yes, its true. The first series of Dell Inspiron have defect on their batteries and exploding. Good thing that ours don’t belong on that series. [sigh] And now, another negative news bothers me again. A friend surprise me with this news.

Excerpt from the news:

Lots of Nvidia Laptop Graphics Cards Are Overheating, Dying

Apparently some previous-gen Nvidia graphics cards that shipped in “significant quantities” of notebooks are defective, built and packaged with   ”weak” materials that are leading to them to overheat and fail at a “higher-than-normal” rate. Enough are bad that Nvidia is taking a $150-$200   million hit on its earnings for the quarter. Do you have one of these cards?

 

Nvidia doesn’t say which cards are affected, but it seems to be ones in the 8M series (which are now previous gen). The fix—a new driver that   kicks in the cooling fans sooner, rather than later—is being distributed direct to notebook makers. So, if you’ve got a new Nvidia driver waiting   for you from Dell or whoever made your laptop, congrats, you win! [WSJ, PC World]

I don’t know if the one that I have is defective. Because Nvidia didn’t confirm the lists of which cards are affected, but they speculates that it is on the 8M series, that makes my notebook be a victim on the issue.   But I still don’t believe it, cause as of now, everything is working perfectly fine and it is not overheating or something. But I still need to research and verify if my driver should be updated for fix as what the news says. Below is the specs of my laptop. Feel free to add a comment if you are aware of this issue.

it's green and i love it.

Do you often find yourself justifying your actions?  Well, in my case, I do [sometimes].   Too often, I worried about what people thought, instead of considering what I wanted. Maybe this time, I should learn not to explain my life to other people and leave people with their own thoughts. We can’t please everybody, no matter how much you’re trying to change yourself and be better, some people, still chose, not to see that. There are people who will always have something to say. And there are some, who will always put you down. But It won’t affect me at all. [I hope not] Because at the end of the day, it’s only me and the people whom I care and cares for me that matters. There’s always a saying, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. hehe :p
