KWENTO NG DAY OFF

Alamat ng Day Off

Noong unang panahon, mga 3 months ago na rin ang nakakalipas, nagkaruon ng pagpupulong sa kaharian ng opisina upang pagusapan ang isang napakaimportanteng bagay, ang “SCHEDULE OF DAY-OFF” ng bawat mamamayan ng shift namin. Tradisyon na yun sa kaharian na yun.. Every six months kailangang magpalit palit ng day-off, dating off ko ay Monday at Friday. Gusto ko tong mga araw ng pahinga na to, dahil ang alam ko, mas maraming trabaho sa ganitong mga araw *evil grin*. Nuong araw ng pagtitipon upang pagusapan nga ang schedule ng day off ay saktong day off ko kaya di ako nakapunta kaya ang mga nagduty na ang nagpasya ng aking dayoff… Nuong bumalik ako sa trabaho.. dun ko nalaman na ang bago kong day off ay Monday at Tuesday… Tapos napagalaman ko dapat isang weekday at isang weekend ang off  ng iba, dapat kasama ako dun sa iba nay un pero dahil sa isang officemate ko na nagsabing di siya magduduty ng weekend kung di ako magduduty rin ng weekend, nagkaruon ng konting pagbabago ata.. yun ang alam ko… di ko na sasabihin kung sino yung officemate kong yun… *cough* Jomar *cough*.. kaya after ng pulong nila, napadpad ang off ko ng Monday at Tuesday…Well ang magkasunod na day off ay ok lang naman sakin, at least 2 days na magkasunod ang pahinga ko from work… Ang ayaw ko lang sa 2 magkasunod na day off ay 5 na araw din na sunod sunod ang duty ko… Lage kong theme song ang “Malayo pa ang umaga” pag nasa 3^rd day ka na ng duty mo… Pero ok lang… at least makakapagday off ako ng bonggang bongga… hehe…

THE PARABLE OF DAY LIGHT SAVING

Daylight saving…. Nagstart to last Sunday, March 8, 2009… Nung nalaman ko to, naisip ko, Okay 12 hours na lang ulit ang lamang ng Philippines sa US, matapos ang isang minutong pagiisip ng magiging epekto nito sa buhay ko naisip ko wala naming effect yun, at least di na mag-memental subtraction ng one sa utak ko pag iniisip ko kung anong oras na sa New York… Yun ang akala ko…Lunes…. 03/09/09 before uwian, mga before 8 A.M… Ayos! Maagang natapos ang trabaho, maagang makakauwi, mapapanuod ko ang Via Satellite sa Studio 23 ng Amazing Race14, nagbudget pa ako ng pera.. PHP 40.00 ang pera ko nun, Actually PHP 20.00 lang naman ang kelangan ko, sakay lang ako ng FX, baba ng Rotonda(Pasig, wag nang magtanong kung paano naging Rotonda ang tawag nila dun) or sa Palengke… Naisip ko, para makauwi talaga ng maaga, baba na lang ako ng Rotonda tapos sakay ng tricycle… Problem nga lang ay kulang ako ng PHP 5.00 kaya namalimos muna ako Yun nung pauwi mukhang okay naman, pauwi naman ako kaya di ako masyadong apektado ng traffic na for sure ay papunta sa kanilang mga pinagtratrabahuhan/pinapasukang eskwelahan (Minsan nga naiisip ko kaya hate ni Garfield ang Monday ay dahil sa Traffic…:D) So to make story short… Nakauwi naman ako mga bandang 8:30… bukas ng TV para imonitor/hintayin ang TAR sa 23.. pagbukas ko… WHAAAT??? Nagsisimula na ang TAR??? Since Via Satellite nga daw yung telecast ng 23… wala siyang commercial, as in tuloy tuloy hanggang matapos… Ayun, ang naabutan ko, kalahati na ata ng team ang nasa pitstop, syempre nagthink positive ako… Naisip ko baka 2-hour episode sila… pero nang matapos at wala naming sumunod na episode at nakita ko sa commercial after show na 8AM na ang telecast ng Amazing Race every Monday morning… Napakalaki ng epekto ng Day Light Saving sa buhay ko… >=/ November pa ulit magiging 13 hours ahead ang Pinas sa US… Inisip ko na lang…. Buti at may Primetime Telecast sila on Tuesday Night… Wish ko lang maalala ko at gising ako ng ganung oras… Ang siste pa man din… since sanay ako sa Nightshift, gising ako ng mga 1AM pag gabi… tulog ako ng tangghali ‘til night every day off ko… Madalas pa nga Late na ng Hapon/Gabi (mga before 8 ako natutulog pag day off ko kaya hirap din ako pag Wednesday na dahil puyat ako… nyahahaha) na ako natutulog.. Kaya ang naging ending… 2 hours lang ata ang tulog ko ng Tuesday… At least napanuod ko ang Amazing Race… Naging tulog ko??? 11:30 PM to 3 AM… then 7AM to 11 AM…7 hours… Problem is 7 hours na tulog then almost 24 hours na gising para sa Wednesday… Good Luck…

THE TAX REFUND, THE WOOD AND THE DENTIST

Tax Refund… Nung February ko pa ata naririnig na magkakaruon ng ganito… pero lage namomove ang pagayos ng accounting dahil na rin siguro sa busy sila… Sabi ng workmate/boardmate ko, this week, maidedeposit ito sa account namin, reaction ko?? Okei… then tuloy na naman ang gulong ng buhay at tulog ko, FYI: day off ko nun at kakatulog ko lang nung dumating ang workmate ko kaya di naman ako ganun kaexcited… Then a strange dream occurred… May umuuga daw akong ngipin at inuga ko to… Ayun natanggal… After that nagising na ako… Yun yung 3 AM sa taas na sinasabi ko… Naalala ko sabi nila, yung mga matatanda ba… May mamamatay daw pag ganun ang dream ng isang tao… At ang remedy, kumagat daw sa wood.. kaya ako naman syempre naisip ko Prevention is Better Than Cure… Kaya hanap ako agad ng wood, nakita ko yung mesa… Ayun kagat ako… Ay… bakit parang ang lamig at sobrang tigas… Duon ko nakita… May bakal siya sa paligid kaya yun ang nakagat ko… Kaya hanap ako ulit ng kahoy.. Wala akong Makita except na lang sa isa, yung pinto naming ay screen at kulay pink… OO pink… ewan ko, parang yun ang favorite color ng may ari ng boarding house namin… Pink na gate… Pink na pinto, pintura… well meron din naman ibang kulay… Violet na spiral na hagdanan at light blue na paint ng frame ng aparador naming built in na aparador na kulay pink… Ayun… sana epektib… Nag knock on wood narin ako, baka dumagdag sa pangontra… mga before magumaga habang nagPPSP ako, may nagtext sa phone ng boardmate ko, dahil sa curious ako, at alam kong di naman magagalit ang boardmate ko at syempre kung emergency yung text, magigising ko siya… Meron na raw Tax Refund… Cool, mukhang epektib ang Pangontra ko… By the way, meron dating dream interpretation booklet ang classmate ko nung highschool ako… Sabi dun kapag may kinalaman sa ngipin ang panaginip, kailangang magpatingin sa dentist… Natanggal na ngipin… Tax Refund… Mukhang di nagkataon, May tax refund para magpabunot ng ngipin??? Pwede…

Anong misteryo ang nagkukubli sa pink na cabinet???

GAMES… GAMES.. GAMES…

It has been a while… err about 2 months na rin bago ako nakapagupdate ng blog… hehehe… naging busy na ako… saan busy?? Well sa work.. and ok ok sa PSP…

In a couple of months marami na rin akong nalaro/natapos na games.. well obviously… yun ang topic ng post ko ngayon…

Final Fantasy I

When the world is in darkness Four Warriors will come….

The first installment ng Final Fantasy series… Actually I am planning to play all final fantasy series kaya inumpisahan ko siya by this game. The Final Fantasy I… actually hindi yung NES version ang nalaro ko(although meron ako nun), ang nalaro ko is yung Game Boy Advance version niya, which is the Final Fantasy I & II Dawn of Souls…

Simple lang ang plot niya and madali lang din ang gameplay… Player has an option at the beginning of the game to select 4 character names and their respective job/class (Warrior, Thief, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage and/or Red Mage) and there is also an sidequest to upgrade their class (Knight, Ninja, Master, White Wizard, Black Wizard and/or Red Wizard respectively).

A must play game not only for Final Fantasy fan but to all RPG lover players…

I’m actually playing Final Fantasy II right now and planning to play up to at least Final Fantasy IX and the Final Fantasy Dissidia( err.. I’m still thinking if I will play the Final Fantasy III NES because it only has been released in Japan… well meron siyang DS re-release.. but I don’t have a DS yet… )

Megaman Original? Series

Kyahahaha! The world is mine! – Dr. Wily

Well as I said before… Parang pareho lang sila nung Megaman World na nirelease sa Gameboy with some differences lang… at syempre hanggang 6 yung sa NES while yung Megaman 7 is released sa SNES and yung Megaman 8 is in Playstation 1…

Simple lang naman ang plot… Save the world from the robots created/controlled by and evil scientist named Dr. Wily, in end of each game… you have to defeat Dr. Eily itself…

I have Megaman Powered Up in my PSP, it’s fun to play it and hear Megaman with cute little voice… err… too bad characters have big heads… I don’t know if I can play the Megaman 9 in the near future… well unless I have earned enough money to buy a Wii, X360 or a PS3… >_<

Megaman X series

“I guess I’m not powerful enough to defeat him…” – Megaman X

Okay, in the beginning of the game, I thought X and the original Megaman is the same… medyo lately ko lang nalaman na magkaiba pala sila… hehe… this is the game that introduced me to Zero…:P

Mega Man X (often referred to as simply “X”) was created by Dr. Thomas Light around 30 years after the original series. Unlike the original Mega Man, X was a new breed of robot with the ability to make his own decisions instead of simply following programming. After completing the creation of X, Light realized that there was a possibility X might choose to turn against humankind. He also feared that even if X chose a beneficent path in life with regard to human welfare, people would inexorably be unable to accept him, and that X would be viewed as a technological anomaly at best and an abomination at worst. Both would result in X’s neutralization not so much as a robot, but as the cogent thinking machine Light originally intended to be. Fearing that his life’s work and magnum opus would be destroyed by fear-driven human beings, Light sealed X away in a diagnostic capsule for thirty years of testing to make sure he would not choose an evil path in life. It is unknown what happened to him during these 30 years, but Dr. Light presumably died and left his diagnostic experiments unfinished. X’s capsule was eventually uncovered by an archaeologist named Dr. Cain almost 100 years after X’s creation. With X’s help, Cain and X created a legion of new robots replicated from X’s ability of free-will— these robots were called “Reploids” (Repliroids in Japan). For a time, everything seemed calm and peaceful.

However, a virus began spreading that caused Reploids to turn against humans. This was due to the fact that Dr. Cain couldn’t perfectly duplicate X’s circuitry since he couldn’t completely understand exactly what Dr. Light did. These Reploids were dubbed Mavericks (Irregulars in Japan), and a force called the Maverick Hunters (Irregular Hunters) was formed to combat them. The Maverick Hunters were originally led by Sigma until he too became a Maverick. Because of his betrayal and eventual declaration of war against the humans, X took it upon himself to join the Maverick Hunters and current leader Zero, another powerful robot, on a mission to save Earth from Sigma.

Throughout the series, X and Zero battle against Sigma and his Maverick followers to stop their many diabolical plots to destroy the human race.

The plot is katulad din ng megaman series, the differences is yung character is iba, may iba pang character (ie Zero and Axl), wala si Dr. Wily (Sigma is the primary antagonist) actually parang ibang iba din ang settings.. I think ang pareho lang nila bukod sa name na megaman is yung isang kalaban, si METTOOL… hehe…

I have finished lately yung Megaman X 1 to 3… and yung 4 to 6 naman ay natapos ko na rin during my high school days pa… yung re-play ko ng 4 to 6 is siguro is medyo matagal pa (actually nakalahati ko na ang X4, di ko lang natuloy) dahil na nga rin siguro sa dami ng pending na games…

Chrono Trigger

Machines aren’t capable of evil. Humans make them that way. -Lucca

Sa paghahanap hanap ko sa internet before kung ano ba ang best game ever for the SNES, nakita ko ang game na Chrono Trigger sa most of the lists… actually mas una kong natapos ang Chrono Cross during my college years pa ata yun… and lately ko lang din naisip na dapat ay malaro ko ang prequel ng isa sa pinakafavorite kong game…

Chrono Trigger takes place in an original world similar to earth, with eras such as the prehistoric age, where early humans and dinosaurs share the earth; the Middle Ages, replete with knights and magic; and the post-apocalyptic future, where humans and sentient robots struggle to survive. The characters frequently travel through time to obtain allies, gather equipment, and learn information to help them in their quest. The party also gains access to the End of Time (represented as year ∞), which serves as a hub to travel back to other time periods. The party eventually acquires a time-machine vehicle known as the Wings of Time, nicknamed the Epoch. The vehicle is capable of time travel between any time period without first having to travel to the End of Time.

A must play game for all RPG players… which is I think most of them have played this game…this game has the most interesting and great plot and gameplay…

Lately I am playing the Chorono Cross and I just got pissed off dahil lahat ng source ko lage naghahang sa disc 2.. sa buwisit ko.. dinelete ko na siya…:D maybe kapag nakahanap na ako ng better source ko.. I will finish the game…

Next post…

PSP games naman… :d
