One on one

Had a one-on-one session with my mentor today in Starbucks. I just want to release this disappointment which is lingering in my chest since that announcement. Was it good? I think so as now I have a bigger idea on how such decisions were made plus a few more inputs to help clear the topic. It was hard and bottomline is the final decision will be with me alone which I agree.

Thanks Marc for being patient with my angst and doing your best to explain the current scenario we have in our company. I have learned a lot; I will use this info to explain to other folks as well to understand such decisions.

Post-Corregidor Report

One of the most fantastic run I had this year. Very tough course, lovely weather and breath-taking scenery would make this run a worthwhile to remember.

Kudos to the organizers for this race!

Corregidor fun!

I'm excited for my trip tomorrow! It's my first time to be in Corregidor and I'm going to enjoy every part of it :). Together with the takbo.ph folks and one of my hs buddies, I would be running 10 miles of rugged terrain.

What excites me more is the thrill of somebody wishing me luck for this run. I hope that I can get a good PR tomorrow minus the freaking cramps and haggard slowdowns.

See you tomorrow at the rock!

Thesis Series (Part 1)

As I've said, this quarter is very bloody for me as I need (1) to finish my studies and (2) expand my work responsibilities. I'll start discussing about (1) as it is really quite exciting and challenging at the same time.

I have changed my thesis topic thrice already this week and it's not really fun. Why? Because each topic, I have to create a long proposal and have it approved by my adviser. I've been literally a zombie by staying until wee hours of the morning drafting and preparing for my proposal. All of these while I have a training in the morning (kamusta naman di ba?).

Oh well, I have to accept this as it is my first step to freedom. Can't wait for March 2010!
