Silence 2

There are so many things that happened in the weeks that i haven't had connection with multiply. There are so many things to talk about so far. I dunno pero either tinatamad ako, wala sa mood, or wala rin naman time magpaeasy-easy sa work. Pero to give everyone an idea, the following are the things i should be talking about on my future postings.

1. Daughtry Concert (yeah! I was there, also includes my encounter with a taipan's son)

2. Pseudoreunion with Highschoolmates (though nagakaroon ako ng kaunting problema)

3. My neverending kaskasan with miro my credit card.

4. In connection with no. 3 ang nakakalaway na sale sa fully booked, music one at celio.

5. Dineouts with BESfriends

6. and some other supposed to be everyday rantings and adventures.

Till my next entry! God bless everyone.

Silence 1

The office is near to empty we are nearly 10 left. Our bosses are in Batangas, for their annual event, we would also be going to the place on Saturday (Company Outing). The temperature is so cold that i need to wear a jacket to make myself feel warm (as if there is something better?). There is an almost deafening silence, what I could only hear is my keyboard, the mouse so as my officemates'.

So far, I've been with my company for approximately 2 months and 3 days. And I still have the same corporate ignition that i need to fuel my work. The corporate jungle is a vast biodiversity of office animals occupying different levels and social status. Some kings the jungle, some do manage, some does supervising, but some like me supports and does the dirty work. Actually there is nothing wrong with that. I love the feeling of actually doing lots of work kaysa WALA. I don't have the power to complain since I'm just a pupae in this vast routined and naturally competitive dimension. Another reason i must not complain is that a lot of Filipinos my age can't get a decent job, hence they are unemployed.

For the four years I've been into college, we've been trained to be HR people. doing things like interacting with working people, with regards to their salary, their development, their careers, their personality, and how they will be able to venture into a new world (company). The last one is something I'm presently very engaged with. I don't know but since last week, I've been feeling this too much pressure already, I'm a teapot nearing its boiling point, but i think that would be for a long time pa. I believe I'm hearing an inner voice that's telling me otherwise (no! I am not suffering Paranoia), that I still need to analyze and evaluate.

To be continued...

Retirement

What the heck!? I just started working a month ago and I'm thinking of retiring? pero hindi! siguro pag hindi ko na talaga kayang magtrabaho, maybe 25? hahaha nope! seriously, this early I AM ALREADY THINKING OF MY RETIREMENT, iba na kasi ang panahon ngayon, alam nyo na...

Isa lang masasabi ko! Iba pa rin talaga ang buhay-estudyante, wish ko lang mag-aaral pa rin ako (malapit na ulit yun..hehehe)

Anyways, the very reason this entry is written is that I want to share something that really made me interested of retiring:

The 10 Brainiest Places to Retire
by Liz Wolgemuth
Thursday, June 5, 2008

Just because you hit your 60s, it doesn't mean your brain starts to power down. Just the opposite. Your noodle needs more stimulation than ever, and, finally, you have the time to supply the required intellectual input. And picking a place to retire can be key to that process. For retirees who have no desire to stop learning—and that's, like, pretty much everyone—there are plenty of American communities that boast thriving intellectual centers where cultural activities keep residents (and their brains) as busy and interested as they want to be.

What makes the difference? A city with a large local university might offer a colorful slate of arts or educational events nearly every evening. Some suburbs have found a way to create unique learning opportunities for residents, who still have an easy route into the neighboring metropolis.

U.S. News consulted our list of more than 1,000 Best Places to Retire and came up with 10 retirement destinations that attract highly educated folks. (And you can use Best Places to Retire to do more than seek out intellectual excitement: A search tool allows you to build your own list of retirement spots based on your personal preferences, including region, climate, healthcare, recreational and cultural activities, and other factors.)

One brainy spot that won't surprise: Berkeley, Calif., where residents might head for a screening of a film on urban organic farming in Cuba at the local Unitarian Universalist congregation, attend a University of California-Berkeley professor's speech on counterinsurgency in Iraq, or get a tour of the UC Botanical Garden. While traditional bingo is on tap at the South Berkeley Senior Center, residents can also learn a less common skill like self-acupressure or take a class on the millinery arts, says director Larry Taylor.

Across the map in Chapel Hill, N.C., residents might spend their evenings paddling out in kayaks to watch the stars with an astronomy educator from the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

Boulder, Colo., may be best known for its environmental-protection efforts and green savvy, but this city offers its residents a wealth of cultural activities. Albert Boggess, former project scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope, and his wife, Nancy, also a former research scientist for NASA, retired to Boulder in 1994, drawn by both the climate and an academic community that included many of their colleagues. "It's a university town, which is important to us, and there are all sorts of activities which come with that automatically," Albert Boggess says. "There's lots of good music here, both classical music and popular music. And that appeals to us."

Upper St. Clair, Pa., is near Pittsburgh and has 29 area colleges, including Carnegie Mellon University, while the quintessential college town of Ann Arbor, Mich., offers an array of intellectual and cultural programs through the University of Michigan's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

West Lafayette, Ind., is home to Purdue University, which hosts lectures and brings in ballets and plays—"a variety of different programs that you wouldn't necessarily normally get in this size community," says Joann Wade, president of the Lafayette-West Lafayette Convention and Visitors Bureau. The city's nearly 29,000 permanent residents can also get "bigger-city opportunities," Wade says, by driving an hour to Indianapolis or two hours to Chicago.

Hoboken, N.J., and Brookline, Mass., also have the big-city experience close at hand. Hoboken is just across the Hudson River from Manhattan, while many Brookline residents commute the short distance to work in Boston's medical centers and universities.

Some suburbs have a main attraction all their own. Reston, Va., was developed as a planned community or "new town" in the 1960s, and it's only a half-hour drive to Washington, D.C., and its panoply of world-class museums. Out west, Lake Oswego, Ore., hugs the city of Portland but also offers culture and beauty of its own, making the most of its 405-acre lake.

The brainiest places to retire:

Ann Arbor, Mich.
Berkeley, Calif.
Boulder, Colo.
Brookline, Mass.
Chapel Hill, N.C.
Hoboken, N.J.
Lake Oswego, Ore.
Reston, Va.
Upper St. Clair, Pa.
West Lafayette, Ind.

Busy Changes

This blog has not been updated for quite some time already. My work is the culprit, my laziness is the sidekick. I've been living a rather semi-routinary life for the past weeks. Little changes have also been made. Ang fx terminal na sinasakyan ko everyday papuntang work binigo ako ng ilang beses, kaya ang resulta lumipat ako ng terminal. The new terminal na pinupuntahan ko is a little farther from my place (one jeep ride). One jeepney ride nga siya, pero the advantage is that I don't have to wait dreadfully compared to the old terminal. Pagbaba ko, may pila, which is normal, pero hindi ganoon karami ang tao and to add to that, sunod sunod ang pagdating ng fx, i guess marami silang legal na fx . That made me happy. nang sumakay ako ng fx medyo kinabahan kasi ako dahil first time (lahat ng first time ay memorable). I was a little pessimistic thinking things like, baka ibang route ang daanan nito, baka mag buendia ang fx, baka traffic ang daanan nito, pero all those thoughts melted dahil ang babaan ng fx is in Ayala Ave. mismo in front of V. Madrigal bldg. which was like a 2-3 minute walk from my office. Ayos .

That day indeed was a very happy one. At least mayroon na akong tiwala sa fx terminal na pinupuntahan ko. Another change was I have to wake up earlier (6:00 AM) para makapasok din ako ng maaga. I don't want something (refer to my previous blog) to happen. Kasi hanggang November 8, On-probationary and under observation ako, Sabi ko nga isa akong corporate guinea pig. Yup! right I forgot to tell something about it. My position title reads "Talent Acquisition Associate". Its a new position being offered by my company. the tasks are a mixture of Executive Recruitment, Industry Research, Sourcing and a little of Admin. My boss told us that our program is fast-track, which means, we have to deliver results faster than usual our learning and pick-up  as well para kami yung magiging norms in case na i-offer yung position in the future. Basta lahat dapat mabilis . lahat pinapagawa sa amin. mapa-bago, mapa-luma, in short sala sa init, sala sa lamig. I have this funny yet imaginative idea na isa akong guinea pig na nasa isang cage na nasa loob ng laboratory para gamiting specimen para sa maraming test.

Another change i would like to point out is that I was transferred to a new workdesk and cubicle which was previosuly occupied by another colleague who resigned. The area is a little bit better for me, kasi mas malamig, mas comfortable, mas malapit sa boss ko, at mas maluwang. Kaso lang I have to be watchful and careful at the same time kasi dalawang bosses ang kasama ko sa area. On the other hand, isang luma at mabagal na pc pa rin ang gamit ko .

I have lots of stories to tell pa actually, pero i need to gussy up because I'm going out with my family, for our usual Sunday Family Day. Honga pala! Have a great looong weekend pala. Yay!

Till my next blog guys!
