Date a girl who blogs.
Why?
It’s funny where life takes us. The places we go to, the people we meet along the way, the experiences and lessons we forever keep in our hearts.. I always believe there’s a reason for everything. One thing that happens, whether happy or not, is there to make us say that “I experience this, I understand how it feels now.”
A month ago I greeted a friend Happy Birthday. Mentioning that my gift will be given late, she invited me to go out with the little brother, Sean. In a way you can say we are long time friends. We’ve known each other since 2007. But I’ve never had much discussions with her and I’m closer with Sean. It was usually common courtesy. Simple hi-hello, invitation to eat when she was eating or simple questions about series, movies or books.
Because I was their brother’s then-girlfriend.
Yesterday I attended the Accenture Manila Technology Talk held at Dusit Thani Hotel, Ayala Center, Makati City. The event was about “The Evolution of JavaServer Faces“.
As far as I know I haven’t used JSF but I did work on JSPs and Servlets before, as well as your usual basic Java in school.
I have a fascination with Steampunk items. Maybe it was influence from anime or games but I don’t know when I started to take a liking.
What is Steampunk anyway?
In three short words: Victorian science fiction, where Victorian references to a time period and an aesthetic: the industrialized 19th century.
To me, it’s more than brass, gears and watchparts. I regard each piece as art. Take a look at some pieces that I like:
There was only one institution that I wanted to go to for college, but aside from the fact that I didn’t make it on the quota, my family thought it was very far. I was ready to apply for another course, even if I didn’t specify one but they really didn’t want me to. Geez, it was like 15mins away without traffic, add it to the things that they exaggerate.
Reluctantly I enrolled to the school, which was walking distance from our house and costs more than my choice, but I took the course that I wanted too. Not nursing, not any course that my relatives took.
Slowly, changes happened and life became difficult. It was not because of my course load nor my list of Computer Science core subjects that I am encountering for the first time.
It’s because I can’t afford to study anymore.
Here and there you can see me referencing to Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip Girl or CIS among my weekly dose of TV series. Also you may say I’m obsessing with one particular anime – CardCaptor Sakura.
Once in a while I have this knack of searching Tumblr for the tag “OJT” or “Internship” for no reason at all. Reading the entries though, especially those from CS/IT fields or those that are kinda ranting that they still have xx hours left to finish while whining makes me look back on my On-the-Job training.
I just finished watching Grey’s Anatomy latest episode: Season 8 Episode 13 “If/Then”. The episode revolves around an alternate reality wherein Meredith Grey is living the life of ‘Meredith Webber’ in Seattle Grace Hospital.
