A new, clean theme. Thanks to WordPress Themes Base.

I’ve been busy for the past few weeks. It’s really hard catching up with tons of stuff at work. Lots to learn, so much to do. But I’m still hanging on. Hopefully this very awkward and stressful part of the adjustment phase would end soon. I still have two months to go before my evaluation so wish me luck.

The whole Kris Allen over Danny Gokey thing being the new American Idol also contributes to the heavy feeling I’m having.

On other news, I’ve started drinking again since my very traumatic experience a few months ago. I’m very surprised to find out that my face starts to get hot after just one bottle of beer. I had tasted the ice cold San Mig Light below zero last week with my room mates. That was the best beer I had since I don’t know when. I know there are several restaurants serving these beers around Metro Manila but I had mine in Grilla in Kalayaan.

I am guessing this week at work would be as hell as the past weeks. I’ll try watching Star Trek and Angels & Demons, that is, if they’re still showing so I can have something to look forward to.

Things are really not as bad as they seem. How’s that for positivity.

Danny Gokey’s out of American Idol Season 8. He’s the one I’ve been watching all season and now that he’s out, I sorta don’t care who would win between Adam Lambert and Kris Allen.

I had my bets at the very start of the season. I was blown away (parang judge a) by Leneshe Young and her song composition. Her audition stood out among all others for me. I was sad when she didn’t make it through the Hollywood week. There was also Emily Wynne Hughes, the girl who sang Barracuda. She was one of the many victims of group day. In the top 36 weeks, I was hoping Jesse Langseth would make it to top 12. I was wondering why the judges preferred Tatiana over her.

In the top 13, my bets were Lil Rounds and Danny Gokey. Their stories were very interesting and my imagination says they would become even more interesting when they win the competition. After watching Lil Rounds pick the wrong songs (as per the judges), Danny Gokey’s my bet for American Idol that can beat Adam Lambert. He has different ways of making the songs colorful using different tones whereas the original song only has a few. One of the songs he sang was What Hurts The Most. I haven’t heard the original, but loved his version anyway. It reminds me of his wife’s story.

So now he’s out of the competition, I don’t know who I should pick between Adam and Kris. But I guess whoever wins this, they all would have an exciting career ahead of them, including Matt and Lil and some of the top 13 contestants.

Last week..

Monday. Too frustrated to work. Was given a simple task since last week and got stuck with an unknown configuration problem blar blar blar Java Spring blah blah. Still not talking in my seat.

Tuesday. Still stuck with the same task. Hoping my superior would not be too impatient. Still shy to ask questions. Had a team meeting which made me talk to the team. This is a good start.

Wednesday. STILL stuck with the task. Still scared to ask questions. Still want to try resolve the bug myself before asking. Self deadline is Thursday before asking for help.

Thursday. Was given a new task with the old task still at hand. Worried that I might not be able to deliver since this was the last day of the week. Asked a team mate to help me with the new task and was able to finish it in two hours. Asked him to help me identify the problem with what the original task that I’m doing particularly the meaning of the error message I keep on getting in my console. Problem solved! Happy! Asked kumares to go out and celebrate and we did. Awesome night.

Friday. Holiday! My brother’s birthday! Fiesta meal at a friend’s house. Got all blushed up after just one glass of Red Horse beer. Videoke with two of my favorite friends. Happy.

Saturday. Watched Yes Man, Taken, Kung Fu Panda The Secrets Of The Furious Five, Wall E, Knowing and The Holiday at home. Happy.

Sunday. Bought new DVDs. Went home far, far away. Started watching America’s Best Dance Crew Season 2. Pacquiao’s amazing!

I hope this week’s gonna be great. My spirit’s up. Go go go!
