I'm starting to believe in what Spiderman said, "With great power comes great responsibilities" but let me rephrase it, "With great opportunity comes great responsibilities". I had a one-on-one talked with my project manager this afternoon. The talk was really, really damn so serious. FYI - we don't usually talk to our p.m. kasi she's kinda strict and serious and scary. On the first part of our talk, she clarified to me that she usually don't send people onsite unless that person worked at Accenture at least six months but because of the client's demand and the project is urgent kaya ako ipapadala onsite (sa loob-loob ko naman, kasalanan ko bang yung nangyari? eto kasing si Drew pahamak) On the next part of the talk she asked me if am I really sure about this matter, then a follow-up question, "Can you do it?" I replied, "Not sure, but I will do my best" (the typical and safest answer!). But she answered me back immediately and told me that she wants a clear and straight answer either with a yes or a no, nothing else. At that time bigla na akong kinabahan because I don't know what to answer and the talk became really damn so serious. At the back of my mind, a lot of questions popped up -- what if I say yes then I fail? What if I say no, will she get mad? What if I quit? What will going to happen to me now? Whaaaaaahhh... then seconds after, I said "yes, I can", hesistantly in a low tone. (eh sa wala akong confidence noh, besides I still dont have a clear idea kung ano yung pagagawa sa akin, baka mamaya mahirap yun) And then she gave me a scenario pa... before daw may pinadala sya on site it was a sort of a setup to check kung talagang kaya nya but apparently that person failed. So mas lalo akong kinabahan nung sinabi nya yun, then a question came back into my mind, "What if I fail?"… and at that moment parang I like to withdraw my yes. errr...
But on second thought, I think this is the challenge I've been waiting for. The test to prove if I'm really worthy to be one of the Accenture individuals. And besides wala na rin akong choice, I took up the initial training here then might as well continue it kahit na mahirap. Saka inisip ko rin wala namang madaling trabaho in my field, right? And will I waste this one of a kind opportunity? course not! (aba kasama sa things-to-do-before-I-die list ko ang magtravel outside the country, so better do it na!) At inisip ko rin, eh since mahilig naman akong magtake ng risk better take the risk and won't regret at the end. Besides I think there is a purpose kung bakit ako ipapadala dun I just need to discover it. (Teka puro na lang self-motivation ang ginagawa ko, baka mamaya mabaliw na ko). Basta bahala na si Superman sa akin. Kaya mo yan Icko! You can do it Icko! Good luck Icko! (isa talagang malaking gudluck sa akin!)
Kabarkada wish me goodluck. Sana makabalik pa ako ng buhay. wehehehe
State of Shocks
Midnight Madness
.jpg)
I started my 24th of Feb at 1AM (working... working... and still working!). Because I had one-hour training session straight from Chicago but not physically present but virtually. It's a virtual classroom that I attended through internet that started at 11AM (literally in Chicago). But apparently, Philippines is fourteen hours ahead from Chicago so I've waited until it stroke an hour past midnight... Take note isang oras lang ang training at mas matagal pa ang inantay ko keysa sa training... errr! Now since I can't go home that late, I've decided to go with my office buds to stay overnight at the condo (c/o the company). Almost 3AM na rin kaming natulog coz we had chat-before-sleep thing. zzzzzzzz
The Awakening
I woke up around eight (with my eyes shut trying to open but only one can). So obviously I'm already late. At patay ako sa trainer ko sa data warehousing kasi sabi nya I need to be at the office early para sa one-on-one training. Unluckily, I arrived at ten so I nag-apologized muna ako before the training. Eh since bangag ako coz I haven't got the right rest and sleep so kinda not listening well from what my trainer was telling me.
At lunch, I had a nap to regain my conscious and energy. Afternoon is quite good coz I kinda understood na the topics discussed by my trainer.
Dim sum
After the training I went back to my workstation to make some status report. 
Suddenly, Andrew (British manager from HK) popped an instant message asking me if I like dim sum. Then I replied a yup with a smile and ask him why did he asked (I thought he will be giving me dim sum straight from HK and deliver it to my desk). I got shocked when he said that I will be going to Hong Kong for a training for two months. Gosh!!! I started to freak out thinking that I still don't have my passport yet. (waaaahhh... freak... freak... freak)
Art Attack
For the continuation of the "Origami for Office-Bored Dummies" comes the animated step-by-step instruction on how to make a paper crane (of course when your starting to get bored on your workstation and want to entertain yourself). Goodluck na nga lang sa mga gagawa kasi ang bilis ng animation so this is good only for fast learner bored-dummies... wahahaha! :enjoy

unFairwell
This isn't actually my story but a story of my friend who didn't have the chance to say her last fareware to his beloved special friend who is now leaving for good in other country because of one "selfish biatch". The girl only wants to say her last goodbye personally to his beloved 'friend' who will leave the next day but apparently this bitchy girl (or i think it was the guy... not sure) told the girl that she can't anymore meet the guy and told her that never call or even text him. The gurl even asked for a little more time just to say goodbye, but that bitch still refused. The girl actually have no idea or in any reason why this bitch deprived her to see the guy for the last time. I mean why would someone be so selfish that she can't give a little amount of time for that girl to talk and say farewell to her beloved friend? Didn't that bitch realized how much that girl love the guy as a friend she knew for a long time, a friend that became part of her life, and a friend who became so special that she can't accept that he will soon leave and left her alone? Heyya bitch if you only knew how depressed that girl was because of what you did... ggrrr. And to the guy, make up your own mind... don't let other manipulate you, looser!!!Now why did i tell the story of this sad girl?... because somehow i can also relate to what happened to her. I usually don't talk serious matters like *love* ever in my blog but for the sake na valentine season ngayon i think i will share a story which became part of my life and events that i wont forget. (errr nagiging baduy na ulit ako, kainis!) During my highschool days syempre teen - the time we experiment a lot of things and the time we learn how to fall in love. I actually dont know if its really a love or just an infatuation-close-to-love feeling but one thing for sure is that whenever i see this person I feel happy and alam mo yun... basta undefined yung feeling. Ive been with that person just for two years pero feeling ko kilalang-kilala ko na sya. Would you believe I know that person's full name (with middle initial), mother, father, sisters nya, birthday, zodiac sign, favorites, hobbies, address, pati friends nya alam ko at the unbelievable thing is even yung family tree nya ni-research ko at pati signiture nya gayang-gaya ko and before i sleep tinitignan ko pa yung picture nya and wishing na sana mapaniginipan ko sya (ganun ka lufet!). Hanggang ngayon nga hindi ko alam kung bakit ginawa ko yun eh? (stupid love!). But you know the saddest thing, that person never knew the things na ginawa ko para sa kanya or what I know about. May idea sya, pero ang alam nya crush lang but that person never knew or even had an idea kung gaano ko sya ka-love (fcuk ang baduy na talaga, ayoko na). Siguro dahil na rin im afraid of rejection... or ayoko lumayo sya kasi baka mailang paginamin ko. (sigh!) Hindi lang yun, nung graduation, I haven't had even a small single chance to say goodbye to that person kasi masakit magpaalam sa taong naging parte na ng buhay mo kahit sa maikling panahon. And that day also was the last time i saw that person personally. And its been four years, with no contact or even news about that person. After graduation pa nga I was hoping na someday there will be a time na magkakabanggaan ulit kami sa mall or somewhere else (sort of "serendipity") but it didn't happened in any chance or luck. Nung nauso nga yung friendster, sinearch ko pa sya, and luckily i found that person yun nga lang i didn't add that person on my list. Siguro dahil ayoko nang pahirapan pa ang sarili ko ulit sa kanya (at saka baka magfeeling pa yun). Malungkot isipin pero that's life, all you have to do is accept and move on, right?. Pero one thing i really learnt is that kahit na hindi happy ending yung story, at least may magagandang nangyari... na kahit hindi naging maayos yung farewell, feeling ko hindi sya nawalay, alam mo yun... nandun pa rin yung mga happiest memory mo together with that person which matters the most, tapos i consider our friendship as special kahit hindi naging kami at kahit hindi nya alam. Ewan ko nga ba... unique talaga yung feeling... haayyyy when will i encounter again the same feeling that i felt from that person which i considered as my "significant other". Ay naku tama na nga, the song "let the love begin" is starting to play on my mind (iiwwww!) baka mamaya eh maging box office hit pa itong blog ko whehehehe. And for those who will read this blog just keep it yours... let other discover it na lang ha, promise yan."Masakit magpaalam sa taong natutunan mo nang mahalin at naging parte na ng buhay mo, pero... mas masakit magpaalam sa taong hindi talaga para sa iyo pero binago takbo ng buhay mo" - sigh! -

Nakita na naming sila Ana with her bf and Apple with her bf (arggg I wish I could also have one)... all are there and ready to go, Ana suggested that we should take the railway to Santolan. Then I asked her what train, then she replied the LRT Line 2. Then Belmond and I again replied instantly, "perfect!" Coz this gonna be our first time to ride the Line 2 (a.k.a the indigo line). .jpg)
We were astounded with the overall architectural design, it's like you were in a Japan or in London (astig talaga!). Tapos when we got inside the train, grabe super luwag as in pwede kang tumambling sa luwag and its like you were inside a limousine. Perfect na sana, not until you see its running grabe dude ang bagal umandar, gosh mas mabilis pa ata kapag sumakay ka ng tricycle, at hinid lang yun humihinto pa sya. .jpg)

Eh what if people were rushing in the morning, so they can't be at their destination fast?... errr perfect na sana eh kaso lang nawala yung essence of riding a train (only in the Philippines and it sucks!). Anyway, buti na lang 2 stations lang ang pagitan ng destination location namin kundi magwawala talaga ako dun sa loob ng train sa sobrang slow
Star Luck, Star Bright!
I just found out that we almost share the same luck and fate with ate Fely (sister ni Cossette). whahaha. Look at the coincidences: - we have the same zodiac sign - Pisces - we were never interviewed during our job hunting; and - we are both pretty (nyahaha)I just hope that I will also have the same future as her's.
