A Rollercoaster Ride

I have learned a lot the last few days. My boss said it was a rollercoaster ride but he's right too when he said it was one, if not the best week of our lives. His experiences and the things he learned which, he generously shared with us made me realize that the only reason why we complain a lot about the negative things that happens to us is because we choose to be victims. I realized that we might not have control over unfortunate events but we can control the things we can do to get rid of it. I can go on but what he taught us for a few days would probably take a professional author months to put into writing.

I always say that I'm very liberated but I've never realized how much more I can be if not for the constant embarassment I get from, let's call him Big Brother, hehehehe. I swear I've never thought of it as an insult. He made me stronger each time and I think everybody who has worked with him can agree to it. Sad thing, others take it the wrong way. Blame it on the Filipino mentality. So much more to say. Bottomline is, it's so amazing how he touched my life and how much influence he had on the way I look at life, specifically as a Filipino. The mindset had been changed 98%. Now I have to work on the action. We'll see in the next few months.

Last night, we didn't work and instead we had our second fellowship night here in Cebu at Big Brother's house in Silver Hills. Music, yummy viands, sodas, a valley of junk foods, two bottles of tequilla, two vodka and unlimitted beer in cans sure made the night fun but it would have been doubly fun if they had successfully thrown Ryan in the pool. Instead, they tore off his new P300 worth jeans while trying, LOL. Pictures will be uploaded later on. Good thing we have one professional photographer in the group, hehehehe.

12.04 ---> Here's the LINK TO THE PICTURES.

I went to my bestie's house earlier, tambay. Ugh! He's now averaging 1 minute and 30 seconds in solving the Rubik's Cube [timer starts even before he can think of his moves!] while I can't even do it in an hour. Someday. Or maybe I have to buy one for myself so I can beat his ass. Gotta go now, time to work - overtime. Later!

Nice to know..

Congratulations, CLauDinE®! Your IQ score is 122.
This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.
Your Intellectual Type is Insightful Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind.
Descriptive Classifications of Intelligence Quotients
IQ - Description - % of Population
130+ - Very superior - 2.2%
120-129 - Superior - 6.7%
110-119 - High average - 16.1%
90-109 - Average - 50%
80-89 - Low average - 16.1%
70-79 - Borderline - 6.7%
Below 70 - Extremely low - 2.2%

I have no idea why I took the test. Nevertheless, I'm happy knowing I'm not an average like I thought I was. If you don't know your IQ yet, it wouldn't take long, here's the link. Back to work and I have to admit I miss my workstation with all it's mess and I miss the routine that I had to abandon for a week to help with local recruiting. A former officemate who I referred was extended an offer and I'm excited about working with him again as he's one of the funniest people I know. I talked to couple of gay drunkards last night and I was able to talk one of them into applying and before I left them, the other one said I talk well. I went to PS last Friday and talked to some of my former officemates and one of them said I've become sales-y which came out as a big surprise as I was one of the most vocal about how I hated the sales people while I was still with technical support. It's another story but nice to know Global Response had awaken this side of me.

Over the last couple of weeks I have watched a few movies. Resident Evil: Extinction, Rogue Assassin, even the local movie I've Fallen For You. I hated the movie and I won't even bother putting a link. Wonder why I watched it? I dunno. It was another boring Sunday and nobody was available to keep me company. It was one of those days that for the lack of anything productive to do, I allow myself to indulge in kabaduyan. I've watched quite a few baduy films because for one, I'm bored and another was I'm curious as to why people actually flock to cinemas to watch it and even allow an ambush interview. To that I say again, to each his own. Not my cup of tea but it didn't hurt either.. so it's okay. It's my BWB [don't ask me what that means] graduation this coming Saturday and I've been tiring myself thinking of what not-so-cheap but at the same time not-too-expensive gift I can give to a 25-year old guy. He wanted an original Rubik's Cube but I dunno where to get one or why out-of-the-blue he asked for it. If there's anybody out there who can help me, leave a comment with your email addy. Help, please and thanks!
