Kudos to my lola!!!

a lot of my relatives probablly think that i'm kinda insensitive...
even when my officemat heard what wappened... he asked me:
"'Bat nde ka malungko??""
i just answered
"Anong gusto mong gawin ko dito mag-nga-ngawa..."
'coz my granny died and i don't even attended her funeral..
all i could reason-out was that it's our Go-Live i can't leave the office..
it' teh crusial week of our project..
they just don't get it...
and i'm the type of person that was impatient..
or just tired of explaining stuff to people that i think in the first place won't understand a bit of what i say..........................

it's just that nobody really understands on how i really feel during that time....
lemme give you the scenario....

she's the only family i had in here (this freaking country)..
since my parents and siblings were all in NY...
she took care of me almost since birth....
she died the day after i spent my b-day (Dec. 26 to be exact) ...
she died when i was in the office.. YES i'm working on Dec 26!!! what do you expect!!!!....

during that time i wanna cried...............
though i'm not that f*cking showy on my attitude...
all i just did was slept... *you'll probablly saying to yourself.. "oh YEAH!!! ur freaking insensitive..."
i think nobofy knew that my dearest granny just died..
if tehy just look at my actions..
i just don't wanna look pitifull in front of my officemates, even my friends...
it's a personal matter...
i won't bring out.. 'coz i know it's a mood killer big time!!..
everyone will just feel sad...
and i don't want that to happen...
i hope i could act just like one of my cube-mates..
"if i want to cry.. i'll cry i don't care if you found me corny..
if i feel sad i bring it out of my chest.."
even just once.. i'm sure it'll remove this cloudy mist out of my chest.........

i remember during her funeral..
when i want to go home...
all i could think off.. is that..
hope she could understand my condition..
that i couldn't just leave this work in a snap.....

Thanks for everything Lola!!! *sniff*

Upgrade DreamTeam!!

avid reader of this blog.. (if there are...) would find it..
so typically me to have this kinda run down description of the peeps..
that i've been working into.....
















Lhen(Hollow Woman):
i know "hollow woman" is kinda corny and crap..but WTF this is my blog..and i'm kinda tired of thinking.....so lemme go on this hollow stuff will 'ya....

so why call her hollow woman..the name kinda derived from the movie hollow man..the sort of transparent-maniac scientist played by kevin bacon i think....ok back to lhen...i just think that her emotions/expressions were so transparent..sometime i envy her for having that attitude...common it's not easy to express your emotions in public/office..it aint that easy to disregard what people may think of you kinda stuff...ok let me site some stuffs abt. her:.........
1. if she's sad she'll cry
2. if she's happy she'll jump and we'll dance those pussycat dollsdance steps kind of stuff...
3. if you gave her a huge favor.. she'll tell you that "she loves you"....and as a follow through will ask you "if you love her too"
4. if she misses you.. she'll come running into you and probablly hug you..

in summary...you're freaking insensitive/numb!!!! if you can't figure outwhat's her mood....














Shei(Lolita):
Lolita is a common internet term for minor girls(below 16)..
you'll frequent hear this is if your a porn surfer :D...


You'll probablly ask why the hell Lolita...
i know what you'r thinking and she's NOT a young slut...
just want to clarify this stuff...

don't wanna be smacked if she read this......

again..
why call her lolita..
it's juat that she's so immature...

almost in every way..........

1. every adult knew that teens usually brag abt
..
how well they could drink, that the
y been drinking
almost since their born..
and there's no way that she'll be drunk..
and vomitting is out of the issue...
do you know what happened when had a few drinks...
only a few taste of our home-made BAILEYS...
she came rushing in the to
ilet.. vomitting...















2. Every stuff has an equal actions..............
you know those cutie effects.......

the Loser... the old-skul L stuff in your forehead...















Blush effects :D

















3. *********hate stuff**********
i hate it when somebody made you to expect something..

making you wait for a period of sometime...
and ends up just waiting for nothing.....
you may call me shallow..

but that's the way i am........
don't wanna explain the details of this crap..
this is just a mood killer...
















Ana(Shao):

Shao short for Shaolin..

Shaolin --> chinese monks :D...













darn i can't think of anything abt this kid..
it's just that she's pret
ty NORMAL..
compare with those 2 kids on top....

one thing i like
abt. her was her voice..
those skimpy, pitchy voice....
looks like hearing a pre school calling you :D...
common some wome do that for some cutie effect..
at least it's natural on her........


oh yeah almost forgot...
Gambatte Ikimashoiii (Good Luck!!)...
on your continuous quest to forget your ex :D...
















Mark(kumpare):
this song somewhat describe this guy...


Sad To Belong
by England Dan and John Ford Coley

I met you on a springtime day,
You were minding your life and I was minding mine too.
Lady, when you looked my way,

I had a strange sensation and Darling, that's when I knew...

That it's sad to belong to someone else,
When the right one comes along.
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else,
When the right one comes along.

Oh, I wake up in the night,

And I reach beside me hopin
g you would be there.
But instead I find someone,

Who believed in me when I said I'd always care...

Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else,
When the right one comes along.
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else,
When the right one comes along.

So I'll live my life in a dream world,
For the rest of my days.
Just you and me walking hand in hand,
In a wishful memory...
Oh, I guess it's all that it will ever be...

I wish I had a time machine, I could,

Make myself go back until the day I was born.
Then I would live my life again,
And rearrange it so that I'd be yours from now on.


Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else,

When the right one comes along.
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else,

When the right one comes along.

Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else,
When the right one comes along.
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else,
When the right one comes along.

Oh, it's sad to belong to someone els
e,
When the right one comes along.
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else,

When the right one comes along.

Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else,
When the right one comes along.
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else,
When the right one comes along.
















Dennis (Pacman):














no not Manny Pacquiao..... *nice guess btw...*

you know how Pacman looks so cooooool..
eating all those yellow freaking stuffs...
and never get full...
well this guy kinda explain it all...

he's good at taking all the responsibilities...
but not so good on dealing with his peers.....

some people think that he's bossy or some sort....

but give the guy a break...
it's not that easy trying to impress your boss :D....
if it needs to take you down he'll probablly more than willing to do it.....................















Kris (Ms. Clean):
if we got the Mr. Clean...
she's definitelly the Ms. Clean....
kinda corny huh??... ohhhh what the hell............
it's just that i frequentlly saw her cleaning up her desk...

rubbing them with disinfectants.....

you won't believe this..
but i even saw her cleaning the floor on her desk..
i was "What the hell are you doing, we do have a cleaning peeps in here
let them doi their job?!!"


but beside that she's freaking knowledgable...

and helpfull in almost anything....
*kris pasalubong ko ha!! :D*





















Sab(Superwoman):
The best Team Lead I've been into..
though i've been in only 3 TLs so far :D
but definitelly i won't forget her in all her hardwork..
imagine working late at night just after your weddi
ng..
talk about spoiling the honeymoon................
luckilly it's all been planned...

ok stop that honeymoon stuff.....

a pretty hands-on lead..
she won't let your questions on her unattended..
even if she's doing something else..

a pretty cool and nice lead...
















Elmer(CK):
CK for Calvs and Kalbs
a nice and hardworking guy..

too bad he's been skipped by the prom
otion stuff...
actually he's more than suitable for the promotion than me..
guess LONGEVITY really pays well :D...

ok back to CK...

he's not that hardworking in here..
but a pretty good father...
talk abt. being afraid to your wify......
you can always hear him talking on his kids at the phoine.
..
no matter how busy he was..............

i admit it.
sometimes i envy him for that..
DAMN!!!!! i need kids :D :D
















Cedie(Prince):
from the hit anime Cedie and Munting Prinsipe.......





he's my boss..

so gotta be bias in here :D...

ok forgot that kiss ass stuff..
common everyone knows that when we talk about..
on who knows a lot on this and that stuff...
he'll probablly appe
ar on that list...

the only drawback was that..
he seem or he just seem to know it all..
just him.. ONLY him..
he's that good.. that sometimes that we're afraid to ask him...
don't wanna be hear him say "that's it??!!! that's your question.. it's freaking easy!!, your just wasting my time"...
hehehe.. i probablly exaggerated some stuffs on that..

but nonetheless... it's the just the same.
















JB(Japs/Jebs/Stefanno):





Why Stefano he just looks like the actor Stefano Mori
The most maniac guy in this office..
he'll probablly knows it all..

all those sexy/kinky stuffs...
but in a serious note..
we saw him grew as a father *we're so proud of him* :D
it starts from hiding to everyone that he already got a kid...
and introduce to
us that he's wife was his girlfriend..
oh so typical............................ :D
after we found out the real deal....
he can't call he's wife as he's gf anymore..
instead he's calling her as "Mother of he's son"
long name isn't it but it's true..
he's reason: "i can't call her my wife we're not yet married"
but this year...
he almost or close to never came to our gimicks....
he's reason: "my kid needs this milk :D"
and all of a sudded he just disappered.....
and our conversations usually ends up on how late he slept..
'coz he's playing with his kid..

it's all about the kid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what about the BEERS, TEQUILAS, COCKTAILS, and GILIGANS!!!!!
guess he definitelly said goodbye
to being a single..




















Ruby(Mama):
The mother of the support team... she's just like a mom in taking care of us.. she'll tell you how good you are.. *pretty common for a mother* you'll seldom hear anything from her straight to the point.. always sugar
-coated...... talk about critical thinkning.. you really need it to know what she really means.......
















Fred(JollyMc):
















JollyMac = Jollibee + McDonalds
a fastfood junkie...
Some people find him weird!!!!!!
is it really SOME or EVERYONE!!!...
it's just that he got a world of his own...
you just heard when he chew, or talk thinking that he got a nor voice tone..
not thinking that he's wearing an ear phone....
he weird stuff almost cover-up, he's technicall knowledge..
a pretty techy guy....

disclaimer:
stuff in here were based on zchen's POV.....
sorry for being irresponsible in rotating some of the pics..

Finally...... i'm alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's been ages since i logged and post in this freaking blogger...
now our Go Live was done..
with some minor bug fixes...
less sleepless nights...
no more working 24/7......
no more cat-fight with my counterparts....

i wanna scream and say...............................
"WTF SA WAKAS TAPOS NA!!!!!!!!!!! INUMAN NA!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Pre Go-Life Crap:
came into the office around afternoon, expect to see around 20 unread emails...
80% were new tasks, 20% were issues......
wait till it reached 12 am..
then my counterparts are now on their desks...
will start conversing with them...
with prior change in the logic, or something like..
what should our approach would be???!!!!!
Are we gonna test this today??!!!!!
Can i go home now???!!!!!
Expect to sleep around 10 am....

the most freaking experienced i had on this project....
"Hey zchen did you edit this stuff????"
---What stuff??
"I asked you point blank!!!! did you or didn't you???"
--NO!!!!!

i'll kinda cut this conversion off 'coz i know you'll probablly won't get it what were talking about...
it's about something i did in the production environment...
i kinda asked the DBAs to delete some of the data in our tables, but asked them to backed 'em up...
what would i get on this so-called quest to solve my issues...
i think i probablly received 4 or 5 AIM messages that said "You shouldn't have done that"...

during that time, my longest sleep would be 2 hrs.....
it's around 3 am that i received thosse meesages...
i wanna shout, slap on their faces...
"Common i admit that i messed up...
how many times do i have to say sorry...
hey do you want me to beg in front of you"....
i don't even know what s teh big deal 'coz i even restored teh original state of the tables....
upn deleteing them...
they just so paranoid that they don't trust the restoration of data in a table..
hey!! don't blame it on me. it aint my job it's the job of the DBAs..
it's their job they knew more of that than you do.....................
Is this what i get on my sleepless nights???....
i kinda messed up teh whole project...
because of this crappy mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it seems like i lost all the credits that i should had............
it's kinda degrading feeling...
i felt not working anymore during that time.....................

Go Live:
everythingm seems good...
except for the MISCOMMUNICATIONS!!!..
you would probablly see me standing on my desk...
shouting.. who the hell modify this job???
he/she should somehow informed me..
i'm teh owner of this unit...
and i'll be responsible on anything about this.................
