Everything has a reason as they usually say. And it is also true in my case. Basketball has been my sports since elementary until at present. Im not ranting in here because we lost again for the second time but rather giving you a reflection of what I have learned. Last night was our second game. This time our competitor was the Engineering Department. This team got what it takes to be a champion. Why? Man they've got the right combination of players. On the center is a 6'4 guy as compared to ours which is only 5'11. The 6'4 guy, once he raise his hand he's as tall as the board. Imagine that! a little jump and he could dunk the ring already. Plus they have 3 reserve rebounder who can really outmatch our rebound. Then there is this 1 good point guard who can really deliver the ball, set the play, shoot and a killer in the court. To give you a summary of their setup here is the statistics. A center with a height of 6'4, 3 reserve rebounder who are as strong as our...

Alien!!!! raise the roof...Finally I have manually completed the 631 records that was lost/double/duplicate due to previous conversion. I have made a lot of mistakes during the previous process and pay the price. The 631 records does not include multiple records that range from 2 to 8 customer problems that would appear once you scan the account number. Im back with software development particularly the database structure which is the most boring and quite difficult if you won't push your neurons into working mode. Time to hit the taxes and adjustment of reports due to VAT. I just hope I can make it before december since im running out of reasons. Reasons to justify the delay...cough cough cough

We had an opening basketball tournament here in CELCOR last saturday november 19,2005. During the opening game we had trouble with the uniform since it was not finish yet. During the parade where we just walk around the compound we didn't wear our uniform since it was not completed. To make things worse it was also our first game. Fortunately at around 9:30 am at the middle of the opening speach our uniform finally came in. Thank God. In fairness we had the most cool uniform. Im lucky enough to have the uniform for free. Nothing beats free stuff ei....hehehe Here are some shots.... ayan isip isip hehehe.... ayan masaya pa kami kasi first quarter pa!!! hehehe coach mukhang seryoso ka na ha...iba na ata ang takbo ng laro!!! Dennis wag ka ng umiyak...smile parin kami ni otep kahit talo hahahaha... I think we have more games to come. We just hope that we can make 1 win hehehe.

Here are some pictures when I was in bohol together with my family and cousins...

My vacation was a blast!!! it was one of the best ever... Before I will share to you my experience I would like to talk to you about fairy god mothers. Yup these things exist in a real world. And I mean it. Who says fairy tales never happen in the real world? If you ever read the story of Cinderella one of the greatest things happend to her was her fairy god mother gave to her everything she needs in order to be happy. Fairy god mothers are real people who are instruments that will connect in your life and make your dreams happen. You name it and you'll get it for free. All they ask is your presence to experience the magic. In my life I have two fairies. One is not my relative but a family friend and the other is my mothers sister. Just imagine shoping to a mall and buy everything you wan't! and I mean everything. We tour around cebu and almost every major mall's out there. From ayala, sm and robinsons. Then we visited bohol it was a very awesome tour and educational. From ...

On november 3 until 6 ill have my break and visit cebu particularly bohol. Thank God for the break. That means no computer, no mails and no programs just pure excitement and fun. Can't wait for this day....For the mean time I need directions for the person whole holds my ticket. Where the heck is Mendiola and where is the right station to stop? Does it have to be as difficult as this one? Life indeed for me is always like hide and seek.

Saturday, October 29, 2005: The day I unleash the bomb. Last saturday was no different day for me as I continue my work. I was even on a moderate mood that time while I was working on my GUI since I just can't help but felt tired of those database structure and logic. You know the usual tips to get the nerves pumping and continue to maintain the momentum. One guy visited me in my cubicle and complain in a normal way, informing me that some customers did not appear in his computer while using my program. Of course that normal and definitely not a way to trigger my temper and busrt into anger since thats my job and it is considerd as normal challenge. Definetly not a reason not rant about. So I fix it! I realize that I did not execute the convertion last wednesday night. I guess I was so tired. Then another call came up after 10 minuets. It was from the other department CCD(Corporate Communication Department) they told me they have some problems. So I get there and check. The program...

Here are some tips: http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0511/sights_n_sounds/index.html

3 days of wondering how am I get find my passion back! Ok there's .net that im working at but that's not supposed to be my focus but rather I should complete what I started and focus focus focus or else... And thats what I did for the last 3 days. I focus my attention in GUI mode since its the only part of the system that make things super exciting. You hear it right new features and design comming up. So what can you say? here are the things that I did on this new sleek design. 1. Memory leak fix. VC++ is responsible in changing the objects in xp mode. Though some are pictures but specially the backgroud but most objects such as textbox, combobox, listview and more are not pictures to fool users. Thank God I have office 2003 to work on the graphics. I know most of you crave for more so here they are: Tool bar in action! Menu bar in action! one thing I fix about this is the highlight. It has a mouse hover now. No need to write anoter code's for the menu just to close the hi...

.Net change my life! Holy smoke! After I decided to take my time and taste the dark side of .net it's simply the best. The difference between before and today will change in terms of investment. Its because im using icsharp for development. After working on some samples and getting used to with object oriendted style I find it very cool and interesting though quite complicated but im young and open minded so i can pull this up. here are some shots: Once the program runs here are the options. some sample works that I did... Resistance to .net framework is like resisting to drive and own a ferrari. Im so excited with what i can do soon.

Innovation has always been bugging my head. Wondering what path should I take since my long bread and butter language is getting phase out and I don't want to be left behind and begin to end like those old junkee developers who end up having a big question mark at the top of their head when new innovation is being presented to them. I remember those old days when I was hesitant to adopt change and think that old assembly or a turbo pascal with cool graphical interface would be enough to deliver results. Then I go back and reflect on the things that I decided to do such as eating my whole pride and adopting change. I begin to realize that "hey I still have a long way to learn things!" then while reading some interesting bogs, one quote that seems to be the exact eye jerker that would open my mind and it goes something like this: "Change is not death. Resistance to change is death" So I decided to think about this and proceed the adoptation as soon as possible. Af...

Lately, after completing the meter department I was expecting to comeout smoothly in finishing the remaining 3 departments particularly billing, auditing and teller since I completed it long before I had my second round trip analysis of the 8 departments that was left. Due to some underestimation and reinventing the wheel that I prioritize way back while im developing the billing module, I have face a dead end. It feels so impossible to solve the problem and I felt like I was carrying a bigger cross. It really made me hate the world including my work. After buying 1 DVD - Final Fantasy VII and 2 notebooks(which by the way I never thought that I would appreciate notebooks not until today.) with a brand of cattleya and sterling. I felt so relive and began to enjoy writing system flows without using objects such as the flowcharts(since I really hate them since the begginning). I hate them because no matter how good you are in drawing those objects and try harder on making them accurate an...

Check this out: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2005/oct05/10-12Campus.mspx If theres one thing Bill Gates keep on telling people world wide about computer science or working as a software developer I believe its ganna be the excitement on how IT particularly software developers change people live and work. As a developer I can tell that he is absolutely right. In my experience in CELCOR I have realize that power. Imagine changing the business structure of a certain middle size comapny who monopilize a certain region in your country. How powerfull is that? the thing is you can never change a certain structure inside the company without approval of a higher officer. And we are talking about chief executives in here. Talking to executives, changing your users expereince and transaction in order to achieve easeness, creating realtionship with employees and executives and building software innovation that will guarantee business solution. Man its awesome. I guess I just have to...

Ball games energize my body and mind. It really takes away stress and im doing it every wednessday with the help of some employees in here who are passionate with basketball. Yesterday, was very exciting since its game time again. Along the way as we fetch some of them in their house they where talking about PBA(Philippine Basketball Association) and me as a far out guy who live in his life without TV acted more like a cave man(do nothing but listen and shut up.) We had this new OJT inside the MIS department, he was lucky to be approve by the COO(Chief Operation Manager) since this department never really accepts OJT because there nothing you do much in here since everything is confidential and there are only a few people who can really develop software in this place despite the fact that there are a lot of IT schools. And since this guy has nothing to do but sit besides me and stare most of his time on the things I work. I felt really uncomfortable. I mean how would you think if there...

Happy bithday microsoft... Check out the cool tour of its history-> http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/goingbeyond/indexFlash.html

Playing games is very much similiar to running your business. Yesterday, was a great game I had 3 straight games non-stop though I was a bad shooter I was analyzing how the game was played. In the first game I was team up with older people more like on their 30's or 40's vs younger ones which is on their 15 and 16. I was expecting that we will loose the game since the young ones can really play well considering that they had more practice plus one member who can really dunk the ring with two hands. Then the rest can run endlessly or jump as high as a chicken. However, we beat them. One of the factors that I realize that we beat them was defenese and we had lesser mistakes. Yes most of my team can't run as energetic as those guys but we where so accurate. The lessons I learned was though my team mates are old but their defense are equip and strict. Even the offense was accurate to the point that mistakes are not allowed. I began to analyze things. Young ones are risk taker. ...
