.:all that’s said and done:.
hmmm… cant think of a title for this blog… just want to share to you through writting several things i’ve been thinkin and doin in this past few weeks… bear with me since a lot of thoughts have been flying around and this might not sound coherent at all hehehe..
Well first stop Time Spiral Pre-release… well I’m a magic the gathering player… and i joined the pre-release last Sept 23 at Robinsons Galleria, it was a nice event with all the players and to top it all we broke the record for most number of attendees on a single day… (asian ata or philippine record lng nman) as well as the most number of female participants in a tournament…well nothing much to say but i did finished with a record of 1-3, all i can say is RTFC! (read the f*ckin card!)hehehe…
then came chaos, chaos in a form of the "Milenyo Bug(yo)" oh well… it seemed like it struck and lashed its fury here in Metro Manila, well living in makati i felt a bit secured but it was then the lights went out… DAMN! i thought… i didn’t went to the office since there were alot of debris and other stuff flying around and trees just kept on lashing and falling apart… besides the worst traffic ever, i never did expected to walk to work with this hard wind… (i might end up in the land of oz if ever…) also i got to evacuate of our room since our roof has leaks in it and that my bed was in the path of bein wet by the rain… oh well, i transferred to my officemate’s room luckily his girlfriend was around since i had no place to stay… when the winds had calmed a bit we decided that we needed supplies and went to shop in the grocery in landmark… heck we even met some of our officemates… as we were walking we could see the devastation that the winds caused like uprooted trees, shattered glass all over, broken signages, fallen billboards and a lot of stranded people…
the day after that the storm has passed away and still no electricity… oh well what the heck off to the office… another day in the office and then it was just last monday morning that we had light…
oh well, during the storm i’ve been thinking… i talked with some of my officemates and it seemed like they were not at all bein taken care of by our company… i was deployed so i had no problems except for some that i’ll mention a bit later… amidst the storm our officemates were dismissed early, but our CEO gathered some of them just to promote our "referral incentive program" when i heard that, i thought WTF! its raining and there are people here stranded and all he could think of is the referral incentive program… he didn’t even asked for the welfare of his employees on how will they go home… luckily our Senior Project Manager was kind enough to provide our officemates a ride to Ayala/Buendia in 2 batches… oh well, i thought did i do the right decision? i mean i had an offer before to another company that is offering me a nice sum of compensation compared to what im recieving and i turned it down… i was thinkin during that time that i need a better one… since i wanted this next one to be somewhere i’ll grow and stick to it for quite a longer time because i wanted to… but im here in our company, luckily im deployed to another company and i seemed to like it there… out from all the hassles in the office…
then came today, actually today started out a bit boring… having another exam tomorrow, i’ll try to review my basics before i go to sleep… well nothing much happened today except for our General Assembly in the office… practically i went to our new office in the FORT… nothing much, indeed it was a bit bigger but still it felt a bit crowded, considering were now only less than 30 devs and qa… including those resigned but are still there… (yes i did a head count hopefully i didnt missed anyone… hehehe…) i listened to the things they discussed and what’s in the pipeline but there is somthing wrong… it seemed like another here we go again… it was fortunate that there are some senior developers who seem to voice out our concerns to them… but not all (i think)
well i got my turn it seems like my account in the office was locked out… so i got to speak with my senior project manager about it and a lot of concerns since a lot of things were quite unclear when i was deployed… what the heck… i also mentioned that if the company continues bein like that to its employees then they’ll lose a lot of good people and end up with less than 20 people by december… he seemed to understand and hopefully things would change…
oh i thought up of the title of this blog… i entitled it as such since a lot of people has been saying this but doing otherwise… including me… but as a lot of people has been quoting "Life is simple, you make choices and never look back" from Tokyo Drift… it occured to me that all bein said and done will just have to accept its outcome and hopefully we make better choices in the future…
