Charmed

Hi there!

I promise that this will be a short post. hahaha. I just dropped by to say hello to everyone.

I'll be going to watch Charmed (again!) later, maybe after this post. I am under the spell of the "Power of Three" that I can't resist myself from watching the eight-season series all over again. hahaha.

Seriously, I think that I am under another spell, a spell called LOVE. hahaha. Sharing this won't matter as of now. Maybe another post will be a great venue for this topic. But let me tell you that just the mere presence of this person is enough for me to fall in love. hahahah.

Just one shoutout for this night:

To the one who put me under the spell of LOVE:
I am CHARMED by your smile!!!

'til next time! hahaha.

Charm on!

Anytime

I hope Japes had a "good night" or should I just say a "good" sleep... hehehe..

Hi guys! Another round of Lyndon Speaks. Better said as - an early round of Lyndon Speaks. hehehe..

I have to run some errands and prepare/arrange some things today. That's why Lyndon Speaks is online on a Friday morning!

I just had sleep a couple of hours ago (maybe a three or a four-hour sleep). And who better knew this than Japes and TJ. hehehe.. I had separate chats with both of them early this morning, and with the time that this blog has been published, it really was, literally, EARLY morning. hehehe. I was at the end of watching an episode of Charmed (and let me tell you that I have 6 more seasons to download.. hehehhe) when I heared the "BUZZ" sound of YM. It was Japes. He was asking some help regarding some server problems. I was able to help him. Hmmm. If giving advice, telling him the consequences and not giving a concrete solution to the problem is "help", then I was able to help. Right Japes?? At least it went okay! hahahah. Not so long after giving Japes an early support for his server problem, there came TJ replying to my aged-old message (I think he replied to it an hour after I sent it.. hahahha). I just had some catching-up with TJ.

I guess that would be all that I could share with you for today. I can't believe this!!! I had shared some things even though it was only almost 8 hours after the day started. hahaha. I guess that there is no better time for experiences to be shared than to share them right away before you miss the chance of doing such.

It doesn't matter how early or late my blog posts are, it's the experiences, thoughts and realizations that matter. And to provide you with ample dosage of those, Lyndon Speaks will just be here, like what I said to Japes when he thanked me: "Anytime"!

By the way, don't mind the introduction for this blog post. I was just hoping that he had a great sleep while sitting. hahahah.

'til then!

Post on!

'Be Missin' You All

Call me butter, 'cause I'm on a roll!

Yes guys! Fifth consecutive day of non-stop Lyndon Speaks!!!

I'm just dropping by to say that I'll miss everyone in the office since I'm on leave up until Monday next week. I'll miss the kulitan, asaran, laughs, and stress at the office. Of course, I'll miss Leah and Niña. I'll also miss the rest of the Equitable peeps. Most of all, I'll miss my CMAP Family (Japes, Jp, Julius). hahaha.. I guess that I'm nearing the point of vomiting because of this "family". hahaha.. It seems that I'll be gone for a long time. Hmmm. Maybe four days is too long if you're with these people for five days a week. hehehe..

By the way, I stumbled into a great news a while ago. I'll share this with you as soon as I have confirmed it.

Anyway, I guess that would be it for now.

'til then!

Miss on!

Finger Lickin' Good

How about that! Four straight days of Lyndon Speaks! Hi guys!!!

Another day at the office. Another day of bug fix verifications and performance testings. Another day with friends!

The title, pretty much, tells everything. hehehe. Okay, for those whose minds are as green as the greenest grass: the title of today's blog post is such because my CMAP Family (I'm sure they'll laugh out loud when they get to read this part. hahahah) had our lunch at KFC. Yes! I had lunch with Japes, Julius, and JP bacause Niña and Leah attended a brownbag session. At first, I thought that I was going to have lunch by myself. But lucky me, I have met these people who'll always be there for me! We bought our lunch at KFC and ate together at the office. There was nothing special with what we ate, but what was special was the fact that we ate our lunch together (hahahaha. Sooooo dramatic!!!). Although the food wasn't that delicious, the experience alone is enough for our lunch to become Finger Lickin' Good!!! hehehe.

Some shoutouts:

Japes:
Kunwari ka pa! Gusto mo rin naman nung binibigay kong Famous Bowl.. Bawat subo ko, nakatingin ka! hahahaha. Tapos sasabihin mo sa akin na meron kang hiya kaya hindi mo tinanggap. Ikaw, mahiyain??? hehehe. Pero tama ka, hindi nga masarap! hahaha..

Julius:
Natupad na ba ang "pinapangarap na lunch"? hahaha. Sa tingin ko hindi pa eh.. hahahha. Don't worry, matutupad din yun.. hahahah..

JP:
Salamat sa fries!!! hahaha. Dapat nga hindi ko na ibabalik sa iyo un. Naawa lang ako sa iyo.. hahahha. Natawa talaga ako sa sinabi mo kanina na kamukha ni ano si W____y. hahahhaha. Baka kasi may ibang maka-gets kapag binuo ko dito. hahahha..

CMAP Family:
Potek! Drama!!! hahaha. Starbucks tayo kapag nagbukas ung asa tabi ng BPI. hahaha.

TJ:
Pasensya. Nalimutan ko na i-y-ym pala kita after kong mag blog kagabi. Na-hook na naman kasi ako sa panunuod. hahahah.

Michael:
Happy, Happy, at isa pang Happy Birthday sa iyo!!!

I guess that would be all for now.

Thanks again to those three people who are always there for me! I really appreciate it! Thanks again: Japes, JP, and Julius!!!

'til next time!

Lick on!

Are You Unique?

Hi!

YES! You are on the right page. You're on Lyndon Speaks. I can't believe this -> three consecutive days of blogging. Am I in the mood or am I just IN THE M-O-O-D?? hehehe. Anyway, it's nice to be back to share with you my experiences and my thoughts.

Nothing much had happened today. Validations, analysis, emails -> I think that these would explain what I did at work. Some of you might think that I just had a not-so-special day. Yeah, you are quite right about that. Hmmm.. On second thought, maybe not. Maybe I can consider this day a special one because of the people who made it such. There were Niña and Leah for the breakfast and lunch we had. There's Japes for the kulitan moments (hmmm.. I was thinking if those kulitan moments made my day special.. hehehe. Of course, they did, they really did!). There was also Julius for his "pinapangarap na lunch" statement. And there were Archie and Mai for the stomach-aching laughs because of the overly-green topics we had (Napasubo lang..). hehehehe.. That's it! A not-so-special day which turned out to be one of the extraordinary days of my life!

Maybe you are still wondering why I chose the title for today's blog post. By the way, this is my first blog post with a question as its title. heheehe. I'm just asking you if you are unique. Maybe you'll say yes! Maybe some of you will say that, in a way, you are inimitable. Some may even point out sets of qualities that they have that others do not have. Maybe some would enumerate distinct physical characteristics. Some may even say that we are created differently from one another. Ok, maybe we are. Maybe we are unique, just like everybody else. heheheh.. Now, do you consider yourself unique???

That's it for now! See you all next time! 'til then!

Differ on!

Let Bygones be Bygones

Hi.. As promised, here's another round of Lyndon Speaks!

This day is not a great one for me. I was not in the mood for any jokes a while ago, and I made that clear to one person. I made him stop joking around and told him that I may not be able to ride on his jokes. He genially stopped. I was very much pissed off. Maybe, I'll feel this for that person for a very long time. Maybe I'll not be able to let bygones be bygones with that person easily. But I know that the right time will come for this to happen. It's just not any sooner than now.

Anyway, thanks to my friends, I felt better during the afternoon. Thanks for the chats, for the kulitans, and for the laughs. I really appreciate those things most especially in rough times like a while ago.

By the way, I now know who's the culprit behind the incident in the office last Friday night (see last Friday's blog post). I got him on his own mouth (just like a fish!). hehehe. I know that you want me to stay longer. Maybe, you just want our family to be together before the weekend started. That's not far from reality, with the fact that you are becoming overly dramatic (and cheesy) the past week. hahaha.. You could just ask for me to stay. I would gladly stay for all of you. You don't need to hide my bag just for me to stay. hahahah.. Seriously, I was not planning to go home early that evening. So I played your game. hahaha (Lumulusot lang.. hindi ko kasi talaga makita ung bag ko.. hahahah). Kidding aside, what you did is nothing. I'll easily be able to forget that. Malakas ka sa akin eh.. But if other people will do that to me, I would be enraged. hahaha.. :)

I guess that would be all for now. I just realized that some bygones are better off forgotten. But it is not easy to just forget, most especially when you are really hurting. Let time do the healing and just let time say "Bygones were already and will forever be Bygones"!

'til next time! See you all!

Forget on!

Say No to No

Hi there! I'm back!

I wasn't able to post yesterday because of some technical difficulties here in Blogger. Anyway, noticed something different? hehehe. YES! Finally, Lyndon Speaks has been updated. Since I wasn't able to post anything yesterday, I spent my time on updating my site. And here it is: Version 1.01: Green Arrow! This new theme is inspired by Green Arrow (if it isn't obvious) from Smallville. At last, a green, literally, theme for my blog.

Now, for today's blog post. I got this idea from the magazine that a co-passenger was reading last Friday morning. hehehe. I haven't read the whole article but the title says it all. Say NO to NO. NO is probably the most negative word that exists. NO is used to express dissent, denial, or refusal. How about that?! So much negativity for the most negative word. But sometimes saying NO is the best thing to do. Maybe the article is just saying to be more positive and lessen the negativities. In fact, there are some ways to say YES instead of saying NO. Instead of saying NO to piracy, we can say YES to original. Instead of NO to abortion, say YES to life. Instead of uttering NO, why don't we say YES!

Let me leave you with a very positive quote: "If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right!"

That's it guys! A positive way to end the week! I hope you enjoyed the new theme of Lyndon Speaks.

I hope you'll share with me your time next week for another round of memories, another round of realizations, another round of Lyndon Speaks!

Yes on!
~Lyndon Jason

Flabbergasted

Yes guys! I'm back. Too soon?! Nah.. I'm just in a good mood for blogging.. Thanks to my CMAP Family (Japes, Julius, and JP). hahaha.. I really like calling us a FAMILY! Thanks to Japes for that cheesy thought he had a couple of days ago (see previous blog post).. It had me FLABBERGASTED. And yes, I, still, can feel it. hahaha..

Hmmm. I'm now thinking of what to share with you for today. Nothing much had happened in the office. Validations, replications, documentations, and performance testing -> these summarizes what I had done at work. hehehe. Of course, there were also a lot of Yahoo! conferences with my CMAP Family (Although we are just sitting next to each other, we prefer to talk via Y! Conference.. It gives us more privacy as a family! WOW! And I'm actually living with that idea! hehehe). A lot has also happened when night came. I'm not going into the details but let me tell you that flabbergasted would not be enough to describe what I felt. Right Japes?? hehehe. With all of that said, I guess that I have nothing more to share. hahahah..

Realizations for the day.. Hmmm.. Are there any?? hehehe.. I guess that I realized the importance of having these people who will always be there to put a smile on my face. A smile?? Or should I rephrase it to: having these people who will always be there to put a WORRY LOOK on my face?? hahahah.. Just joking! Seriously, I am really thankful to have met these people, the people who I can really call a family (Cheesy, as it may sound, but its all I can think of. hehehe.).

That's it for now! More realizations tomorrow as I share with you what I read from an article from a magazine that a co-passenger was reading. hehehe.

'til then!

Cheese on!

One Year

Hi guys! After a week of silence, I'm back!!!

Medyo wala kasi ako sa mood for blogging noong mga nakaraang araw. I don't know why I feel so damn bored this past few nights. hahaha.. Wala nga akong masyadong ginagawa every night except manood ng Charmed. hahaha..

This post should have been published last night, but because masyado akong na-hook sa Charmed, nakalimutan kong mag blog kagabi. I just had my first anniversary at Lakeside. Siyempre kasama kong nag celebrate sina Niña, Julius at Ronnel. Grabe! Naka one year din kami. Reminiscing our first day, we were deployed in the different projects of LTI, but after one year, magkakasama na kami sa iisang project. How time flies so fast, sabi nga nila.. Parang jet plane sa bilis! hahaha. We celebrated our anniversary with Leah at Paseo Center (dun sa inasal na ung placemat ay ang pagmumukha ni Judy Ann). hehehe.. Si Ronnel ang nag organize at nag convince samin na mag celebrate. I appreciate the gesture, pero siguro I'll deeply appreciate it pa kung nanlibre siya. hehehe. Joke lang! Pero thanks to Ronnel, thanks for organizing the lunch!

Nag-treat din kami ni Julius sa aming CMAP family (CMAP Family: Japes, Julius, JP, and me!). hehehe. Ang cheesy!!! Si Japes nga ang nakaisip niyan eh.. Sabi niya, family-sized pizza na lang daw dapat ang orderin namin sa Pizza Hut dahil kaming apat daw ay isang family! How cheesy, pero nakaka-touch din! hahahahha.. Pero cheesy talaga!!! hahahah. It was so surprising that Japes has something like that under his sleeves. Meron din pala siyang natatagong mga ka-dramahan.. hahaha... Marami pa kaya?! hehe.. Anyway, thanks sa inyong tatlo! Thanks for always being there kahit na lagi niyo akong inaaway. hehehe. Thanks a lot guys! You always make my day complete. WAW! Asa naman akong ma-ta-touch kayo sa sinabi ko.. hahaha.. DINNER TAYO!!! hahahah..

Yesterday was another milestone in my life! Yesterday was another start for me, a start for a more challenging career life!

That's it! I guess that'll do it for this night's blog post!

Thanks for sharing your time with me and for celebrating with me on my first anniversary at work!

'til next time! See you on my next blog post!

Celebrate on!

A Wet Lunch Break

Hi Guys! It's nice to be back!

Kahit tinatamad akong mag-blog, my fingers can't help but type everything that comes into my mind and everything that I want to say. At walang bagyo o shortage ng masasakyan pauwi ang makakapigil sakin to post a blog. Kahit pa ang mga nakakainis na sakay ng bus won't encumber me in sharing my life with you. hahaha. Got an idea on what and how my last three days were? hehehe. Seriously, Lyndon really wants to Speak! hahaha..

Hmmm. Iniisip ko kung ano ang pwede kong i-share sa inyo tonight. Siyempre, wala akong maisip kasi there was nothing special in what transpired for the past days. Pero what happened awhile ago is really worth sharing. It was a stormy day. At isa ang malaking problem kapag bumabagyo: mahirap bumili ng food for lunch! Si Paul ang unang tumawag sa Jollibee at Mc Donalds, pero nabigo lang siya. Oo nga pala, nakakainis si JP kanina! Pa-ulit-ulit niyang sinasabi ang mga orders niya. Kahit anong fast food chain pa yung mga sinuggest kanina, may order siya. KAINIS!!! hahahah.. Nung ako na ang tumawag sa Jollibee, may sumagot na. hahaha.. The problem was: one hour pa bago ma-deliver ung food. Siyempre, we can't wait that long, lalo na si Ronnel! hahahah. We (hindi ko pa pala nasasabi kung sino-sino kami: Japes, Julius, JP, Ronnel, Paul, Tristan, and Robert) then decided na pumunta na ng Mc Donalds para bumili ng food. At mahirap din ang pagpunta sa McDo lalo na kung may kasabay kang walang payong (sana tamaan si Ronnel). hahaha.. Eto pa ang nakakainis sa McDo na un.. Ako ang bumili ng food namin ni Japes (offline kasi ang mga ATM kaya hindi siya nakapag withdraw, siyempre andun ako to the rescue.. waw! Hero! hahaha) at nagpadagdag ako ng gravy (request ni Japes).. Akalain niyong kung ilan lang ung hiningi kong gravy ang binigay tapos chinarge pa sakin. Siyempre nalaman ko na lang ito nung kumakain na kami ni Japes. Kainis talaga ung lalaking cashier sa McDo (nilait-lait ko kasi ung diction niya.. hahaha.. Kahit sino naman matatawa sa: "Order niyo po is LEYTER BEY, two piece CHEYKEN!" hahahahahhaha). Enough with that McDo incident. Ayun, pagbalik sa office, tahimik ang Men of ATI-Test! Tahimik lumamon! hahaha. Kumain ako sa tabi ni Japes (by the way, ang hirap i-move ng monitor dun sa tabi niya) and we had a little chat about things while eating. Kasama na sa napagkwentuhan namin ung paglangoy (este paglusong lang pala) niya sa baha nung isang araw. hahaha.

That lunch was really great! Ang saya! From the attempts Paul and I made to place a delivery order, to the wet journey that we all had to buy our lunch, up to the chats Japes and I had while eating -> a lunch, a wet lunch, really worth remembering!

I guess that's all for today! I have nothing more to say. hahahah. 'til next time! See you around!

Dry on!

The Guys Who Really Made My Week

Another round of Lyndon Speaks.

Ok. I have no idea on how to start this day's blog post. I have been typing, erasing, re-typing, and deleting words for almost half an hour and yet I haven't had typed a single sentence. This only means that I am really not in the mood for blogging. Kaya naman, magtatagalog na ako. hehehe... Not in the mood?! Hindi naman masyadong "not in the mood", kasi gusto ko parin i-share ung mga happenings yesterday at kanina.

The things that transpired yesterday and awhile ago really made my week a memorable one. hahaha.. Bakit?! Natuloy na rin kahapon ang lunch-out namin nila Japes, Julius, at JP. Dapat nga sa 15 pa, pero kahapon na kami nag lunch-out. Treat ko yun dahil... hehehe... It's not yet the right time para sabihin ko dito sa blog kung bakit ko sila ni-treat. Pero alam naman nila kung bakit.. hahahaha.. We ate at Teriyaki Boy. At syempre, marami kaming inorder. Parang lahat ng order namin is good for 8 (4 lang kami ha). Pero ayon kay Japes, kulang pa daw un. Ibang klase ka talaga Japes! hehehe. Syempre may kwentuhan at asaran parin while eating. Hindi na ata mawawala un sa aming apat. hehehe. Medyo may mga natira pa nga eh.. Kunwari pa kasi itong si Japes na pinapaubos sa akin ung mga food pero deep inside gusto pa niya (kasi kumuha pa siya nung una akong umayaw.. hehehe). Yan ang gusto ko sa iyo Japes! hahahah.. That lunch was really a great one because I had it with the best people I know, with the people I call friends! Hay naku, hindi nanaman ma-ta-touch ung tatlong un. hahahah.

So, un ang nangyari yesterday. Kanina naman bago umuwi, siyempre binisita ko sila sa cubicle ng ATI (parang ang layo, isang bakod lang naman ang nag-se-separate samin.. Ung bakod, kalahating tao lang ang taas.. hehehe). At asaran nanaman ang nangyari. Pero masaya. Tawanan, asaran, tawanan, asaran, tawanan. PANALO! Parang un lang ginawa namin kanina bago umuwi (siyempre hindi ko na i-sha-share ung kababuyan ni JP.. hahahah..) Ah, meron pa pala mga nangyari pagkatapos ng kwentuhan, asaran, at tawanan. hehehe. Naglaro pala si Japes ng Naruto sa PSP. One player mode. At hindi ko alam kung natalo niya si Gaara. Parang kasing gigil na gigil siya sa pagpindot kanina. hahahha. Japes: natalo mo nga ba?! hahaha. Si Julius naman nag su-surf sa internet. At medyo sosyal ang mga sine-surf niya. hahahha. At si JP naman... Hindi siya tulog! hahahha. Ewan ko kung ano ginagawa niya, pero inutusan pa siya ni Mai. hahahaha.. Ako, ano naman ginawa ko? hehehe. Ayun, nakasalampak ako sa center table ng cubicle ng ATI habang pinanunuod si Japes sa panggigigil niyang manalo sa Naruto (ang hirap naman kasi nung mga kalaban.. hehehe). After ng mga pangyayari, wala na. Uwian na. hehehe.

O di ba. wala ako sa mood mag-blog (pero ang dami kong nasabi).. hehehe..

This week's Thursday and Friday are really two of the most memorable days I have. I'll surely keep these days in memory lane for a very very very long period of time. OA na sa kahabaan un ha. hehehehe.

Seriously, THANKS to Japes, JP, and Julius. You guys really made my week!

That's it! I hope that next time, I'll be in the mood for blogging.. hehehe.. Wala pa palang title ung blog post ko.. hehehe.. Ayan, meron na! 'til then!

Laugh on!

Japes

Hi guys!

Welcome to my first blog post for this month.. Yes, it is Lyndon Speaks' second month here on Blogger. My gratitude goes to you who's reading this blog post. But before the other "thanks-es", here's today's post.

Wondering why Japes is the title of my blog post? hehehe.. I, too, is wondering why! Just joking. Julius and JP might have the idea why Japes' name is the title of today's post. It has something to do with what he did awhile ago. I'll not get deeper into the details but let me tell you that I was stunned by the fact that he did what he told me last night during our chat at YM. I thought that he was just joking with that line: "kukunin ko talaga un, akala mo". But he was not, really was not! hehehe.. I have nothing against Japes. He warned me about that and I did not take it seriously. With that, there are two life-changing lessons I learned from what transpired this day: LISTEN TO WHATEVER JAPES HAS TO SAY and BELIEVE HIM! hehehe.. Seriously, what Japes had done is simply a way of showing that he really means what he says (even if the method used is very stunning.. heheheh). He is really much better than those people who are full of words but no actions, better than those people who'll let you believe in something that's not going to happen, better than some of the people I know...

There is no finer title for this day's blog post than that of my friend's name. Japes -- a man of his word. Japes -- just being true to what he says. Japes -- a crazy friend. hehehe.. I was just joking with the last one (Am I?! hehehe).

I guess that's enough realizations for this day. And now, here are the callouts.

Japes:
Sira na talaga ulo mo noh! hahahaha.. Yan ba ang naging epekto ng hindi mo pagkain ng New York Cheesecake? Sinabi ko naman sa iyo na walang tinda sa Starbucks. hehehe.. Dahil sa ginawa mo, ikaw tuloy title ng blog post ko ngayon.. Ibalik mo un ha! hahaha.

Julius:
Pati ikaw nakikisama sa mga kalokohan ni Japes. hehe. Anyway, chat niyo lang ako kung kelan matutuloy ang lunch.

JP:
Natawa ka ba?! hahaha.. (two hours na ang nakalipas nung nag reply ako sa text mo at sinabi kong ginagawa ko na itong blog na ito).. hahaha.. Bad ka.. Hindi mo sinasama si Julius sa mga conference natin.. Ako pa ang nag-i-invite. hehe.

CMAP-Test Friends (Japes, Julius, JP):
Mukhang makakabalik na ako sa cubicle ng ATI. hahaha. Thanks at lagi kayong nandyan lalo na kapag malungkot ako. LECHE!!! Hindi naman kayo na-ta-touch sa mga sinasabi ko! hahahahah.. Tuloy na ba ang lunch?! hehehe.

TJ:
Congrats!

Niña:
Kamusta naman ang spa?! Naiwan mo atang bukas ang PC mo sa office dahil online ka parin ngayon (10:47 pm na)! hehehe. 4 hours and 22 minutes ka ng idle sa YM.. hahaha..

Angels (Yel, Tyll, Faye, Let, Bby, Lucy):
Thanks sa greetings! I really appreciate it!

HS Close Friends (Zarah, YJ, Dan, Apollo, Francis, Zhaine):
This is it! Malaking burger ito! Malapit na ang birthday ni Dan! Saan ang fiesta?! hehe. Zhaine, umuwi ka na nga! hehe

That's it for the callouts. Now, here are the thanks-es, as promised.

Thanks to my CMAP-Test Friends. Thanks to Niña and Leah. Thanks to my Angels (Yel, Tyll, Faye, Let, Bby, Lucy). And thanks to my HS Barkada! I know that you know why I thank you guys! And as always, thanks to everyone who's reading my posts for the past month!

That's for the thanks-es. Watch out for the new site updates anytime this week! You can also re-visit the posts I had for last month (August 2008). Just click on the archive link found at the right side of the page for the month of August 2008 and have a time to look back at my experiences and realizations.

I guess that wraps up this first blog for the month of September 2008. 'til on my next blog!

Say on!
