Yaaaaaaah!!! I burned myself with my own cig butt! Sheesh. Don't underestimate the butt. Surely, it'll want to get back at u after u've used it, (kaw kaya sipsipin at paglaruan dyan!) even more if u don't thank it for at least serving its purpose!

My wife's giving birth anyday now and I'm just sooooo excited! Huh? Am I ready u mean? To be a father yes but frankly, we don't have everything ready for the baby; y'know, the post natal stuff u need to have. Tsk! Tag-hirap chong!

Who says u have to be a politician or an actor so u could stay in the delivery room too? Dammit! If that were true then where's the fun? Sorry muh dearest wife, I know it aint fun pushing and laboring, but hey... those movies of husbands sticking with their wifes show a kind of elation that I wanna feel first-hand! Screw the rules! :P

What's the strongest anti-migraine, over the counter drug u know? I got a bout yesterday and got bedridden almost the whole day. It's still trying to creep back as I type this; nothing seems to work anymore!

I tried some drug here in the office (which my boss gave to one co-employee) and it worked a bit. Must be a downer. ?!*@&^

I lost my lighter again!

I saw the accident over at Guadalupe between two airconditioned buses yesterday. I've never seen so much shattered, more like powdered, automotive glass on the street. Twisted metal, the rescue squad (btw, I think they're a little too OA; like they're so much into their roles that they almost look like they're in some action flick...well, ok, it's their ballpark but hey, I'd have that FEEL of authority anytime!), and I think I saw blood but I was too uuhhh...giddy, yeah sumthin like that, to even take a closer look.

It felt weird; I'm not exactly thrilled about the idea of gory things, much more see blood in places other than the wet market, but you know it's not supposed to be there!

I would've taken the bus to Nova. There's one route that'll drop me right outside our village but decided not to. My innards were still churning so I rode the MRT instead.

Next time you decide to patronize public transport, check out the driver! That driver who went splat against the MRT wall looked sabog daw and decided to scare the other bus by flicking its tail. Careened out of control and went for the swatter! Perfect 10!

And don't ride the buses when it's so late at night or so early in the morning! You won't get to choose which bus to ride anymore and at those hours, EDSA turns into a racetrack!

I know, tarantado rin akong magdrive but one good look at how graphic the last scene is is now making me hesitate a lot before I can even step hard on the gas.

First dip, I may have found my non-reactive sounding board

Hey Kai! Thanks a lot for leading me here. I could have used this a loooonnggg time ago!

Cooling my heels in the office (yeah, I KNOW walang OT d2 but dammit!); can't go home and stare at the ceiling. I'd probably just get da urge to txt her. Don't want to anymore, not for a week I guess. I txtd 2K messages in one billing period! Felt like kicking myself.

So I went through this whole you-look-glum-what's-wrong? routine and nobody seemed to notice here. Hah! Probably because they never see me wearing some other face!

March was a good month. Not just because it's my birthday month, but I've been able to do more physical exercises as far as I'm allowed, and I've also been able to get through my first month back in the job. For the first couple of weeks, I thought I was going to do 4 hours a day at most, and turn up the heat bit by bit until I'm able to do 100% again. But I suppose having to rest over a month does have its toll. It took significant effort to try not go all in with guns blazing on the first day back at work. LOL Anyway, I'm trying something new this year. We've migrated our applications to a better platform, and we'd like to push that to the cloud this year. It'll obviously need a lot of liaising and cooperative work with other teams and domains so I'm going to do more engagement and solutioning than the usual engineering this time. Last week, we did a platform-related hackathon and a critical refresh across clusters. There's going to be a lo

On Planning and Reports

In my previous employment, I didn't have any problems with submitting reports, practically because we used a time management/monitoring tool and the reports sort of generated by themselves. So when submitting daily reports isn't the norm here at the unit, quarterly reports become quite tricky. I've resorted to referring to Google Calendar as most of the stuff we do are usually scheduled. I've also thought of logging everything on a text file and have pelican publish this to my website. Meantime, my reading list for the day as I decide on a workflow that will allow multiple teams to work on the university website: http://www.sitepoint.com/one-click-app-deployment-server-side-git-hooks/ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/425692/what-is-your-preferred-php-deployment-strategy https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-automate-php-app-deployment-process-using-capistrano-on-ubuntu-13

Thank you!

I am home, and enjoying my second lease in life, one slow day at a time. I have never been hospitalized for something as life-threatening as DHF with complications before, so it's a bit frustrating that even when I'm already out of the hospital, I could not move around as much as I want. I could not even attempt to lift and carry my son when he feels like asking me to hoist him up. I can only manage a few hours of work now and what's more disheartening is knowing that I can no longer recoup a week's worth of missed work. Well, that's how it is with us road warriors/freelancers. But I am alive. I survived my first bout against DHF + pneumonia, and I have God, family, and all the people He used to get to me, to thank for. So I'm taking this moment to write and thank EVERYONE who reached out, spread the word, contacted other people, prayed, donated blood, consoled my wife, watched over me when everyone else was exhausted, and so much more. You are all AWESOME and I
