Smiles and Laughters

Hello there! Welcome to my 30th blog post here in Blogspot.

I'm now on leave from work because of headache. hahaha. What do you expect after working for 19 hours and leaving the office at 5:30AM? Well, I miss everybody in the office, most especially my close friends. Of course, being on leave would not hinder me from chatting with the 3 people who I miss above all (Japes, JP, and Julius). hahaha. We just had finished our YM conference and I just had a little chat with Japes.

The things that transpired yesterday weren't new. Overtime became a proverbial word for me. For the past couple of weeks, it was where my so-called professional life revolves. Yes, some of these overtimes were fun, simply because I'm having an extended time with my friends. Yet, most, if not all, of those were very stressful. To alleviate the stress that I'm feeling, I just smile and laugh with my friends.

Yesterday was not so different when it comes to smiles, laughters, asaran, and kulitan. I had plenty of dosage of those from Japes (Most especially. hahaha), JP, and Julius. hahaha. Before the badminton game last night, Japes played Dragon Ball on my PSP. I just sat beside him and watch him play. I thought of resting because I knew what was going to happen that night. I just had a wild hunch! hahaha. After playing, Japes left for the badminton game and I slept for almost an hour. The build package arrived and Mai, Tristan, and I started testing. We had some laughing moments most especially when Tristan fell on the trick that Mai and I had played on him. hahaha. By the way, my hunch was right! We had a very tiring evening and early morning. hahaha. We finished at around 5:30AM and went home right after sending the build notice.

Tiring as it may seem, but I really had a great day! Thanks to the smiles and laughters! Most definitely and undeniably, laughter is still the best medicine! hahaha.

Japes, JP, Julius: I can't wait for Wednesday! hahaha..

'til next time!

Smile and Laugh on!

Crashed

In different ways, on different levels! YES! CRASHED! hahaha..

I'm back guys!

Worn-out - the word that, currently, best describes me. I also know some people whom I would share this adjective with. hahaha. After the numerous overtimes, I think that I'm already crashed. Before, to relieve me from stress, I just thought of the big pay and allowance that I'll be getting from the overtimes. Now, even that thought is not helping me in escaping from the sharp claws of stress. hahaha. Good thing: there are these people who were able to lift these claws and rescue me from this eminent feeling called stress! WOW! Look at what stress has done to me!

A few happenings made it on top of my list of what to share with you this evening. First, Japes is so maligalig awhile ago. I was thinking (for almost 12 hours) of the english word for maligalig, but I failed. hahaha. Anyway, because of him being so overly maligalig (compared to the other days), I can't help but manggigil to him. Waaaaaaa! What's with the tag-lish?! hahaha. I'm really crashed!!! hahahah. Our PSP games also made it on my list. At last, after Bleach 5, I found another game (Dragon Ball) where I can use my very unfair tactics to win over JP. hahahah. Japes continued my game and played against JP. And, most especially, the dinner with Leah and Niña (with Leah's BF - Julius) at Market Market ended the day with a blast. The dinner was great. The meal was sumptuous. We all had a fun chat about some things. hahaha.

Before I crash into something else and can't help myself from typing things that would really hurt a person until his dead, let me now give the shoutouts! hahahaha.

Leah and Niña:
Thanks for the dinner. I really had a fun time with you. Three lunch times din tayo hindi magkakasabay kumain. hahaha

Japes:
Nalimutan mo pa wallet mo kanina. Concerned ako sa iyo kaya tinawagan pa kita. hahaha. Mabuti na lang nakita ko agad at hindi ka pa nakakalayo sa building. hahaha.

JP:
Ibalik mo na ung 350 pesos ko.

Japes, JP, Julius:
INUMAN!!! hahaha.. Kailan ba ito???

TJ:
Pasensiya kung sa iyo ko nabuhos lahat kanina. hahaha

Okay! 'til next time! (What an ending!!! hahaha)

Crash on!

Ultimate Bonding Experiences

Hi Guys! I'm back. hahaha..

Some U.B.E. happened yesterday and awhile ago. hahaha.. When I first saw this term, I told myself that I'll never use this because it's so cheesy. But what the heck! The experiences were, indeed, memorable and ultimate. hahaha..

Let's start off with yesterday's events. Yesterday morning and afternoon were a little boring. Nothing much had happened and I was a little stressed and tired because of the non-stop and ultimately long overtimes (U.B.E. overtimes with officemates and friends) I had last week. We had our weekly committee meeting for the Christmas Party as the night was approaching. By the way, Ruth had already sent the Christmas Party Teaser that I made. hahaha. The committee meeting took away the boredom that I was feeling yesterday. Although we were not complete during last night's meeting, it was still a great time for U.B.E. among us. After the meeting, I thought that I'll be having U.B.E. with the LTI Badminton guys. But that did not push through because of another overtime. hahaha. Before yesterday's badminton game, I had some U.B.E. with Japes (I think it was not that ultimate, but it could count as one, this is still a blog for U.B.E.. hahaha). I gave him some of the clarifications he needed for the new project he's in. After that, he played (and I watched him play) Dragon Ball on my PSP (that was the latest game I downloaded since... hmmm.. almost a century?! hahahah). When it was time for him to go, it was the time for another U.B.E. with my "overtime-mates". hahaha. We had finished validating the fix for the issue at around 1a.m. today. The build package was also dropped to U.S. at around that time.

I think that's enough for yesterday. Now, here are the U.B.E.s for today. Hmmm. My day started with some errands. I came to office at lunch time because of these errands that I needed to do. After a little documentation, Japes, JP, Julius, and I went to Starbucks for some U.B.E.. hahaha. We stayed there for a couple of minutes (hmmm.. Were those just a couple of minutes??) hahaha. We had some chats over cups of frappe and coffee. As far as I can remember, that was the first time that we actually stayed at Starbucks together to drink, eat, and chat. A first for the four of us, an U.B.E. worth remembering! Of course, the chats continued at the office along with some kulitan and asaran most especially with Japes. hahaha. To top all of what had transpired over these past days, I went home early awhile ago (This time, it's not literally early! hahaha). If that's not shocking, then what is?! hahaha..

I guess that's enough happenings and U.B.E. for yesterday and awhile ago. Here are some shoutouts to end this night's blog post.

Japes:
Maraming salamat for doing the favor na hiningi ko sa'yo kanina! That was really appreciated. hahaha..

JP:
Uunahan na kita.. HINDI ko na-download ung Star Wars na game sa PSP. Nagdo-download na uli ako ng Charmed. Dinownload ko lang ung Dragon Ball nung Saturday. hahaha.

Julius:
May bago kang game sa PSP?? hahaha..

Jeh:
Happy Birthday!!!

Dhey:
Wow! Binabasa mo pala itong blog ko.. hahaha.. Anyway, si Edgar ung pumayag na gawin niyo un sa presentation natin. Kasi spokesperson mo siya eh. hahahah.

TJ:
Maglista ka pa diyan ha! (Alam mo na ung ibig kong sabihin) hahahha.

Okay! 'til next time!!!

U.B.E. on!

Overtime

Hi!

I wasn't able to post anything yesterday because something came up, which I will share later. I was thinking to post a blog while at work, but I just couldn't do such because of all the stress and anger that I was feeling last night. Anyway, it doesn't matter if I wasn't able to post yesterday, because here I am, for another round of Lyndon Speaks.

I guess that our day at the office started with a sign that something not-so-good will happen later that day. Yesterday was the time for filling up the Overtime sheet of our team for the last half of September. Japes, Julius, JP, and I filled up our excess times on the Excel sheet. Japes and Julius even had their overtime last Monday offset for yesterday for them to go home early. I, too, did that. But little did we know what will happen that evening. Lunch came and we (Leah, Niña, Japes, Archie, and me) had what was left of the lunch that we had last Thursday. The viands were still great and we all had a great chat while eating on the round table. Afternoon came and me and my CMAP brothers (Wow! Bago na naman tawagan namin nila Japes, JP at Julius! So cheesy.. hahaha) attended our different meetings. After our respective meetings, the bad news was brought up by Mai. She informed us that we need to have another overtime for the testing of the merge of the projects. The plan was for us to work today (Saturday), but Julius and Japes would not be able to come. We then decided to extend work yesterday. Cheena informed us that the build will be dropped at 9:00PM. While waiting, Japes played Tennis on my PSP, Julius was surfing the net, JP was nowhere to be found, and I was still verifying the issue to be dropped on U.S. Staging. hehehe. At around 8:00PM (I guess), Cheena informed us that the build will be delayed since there were problems encountered in the merging of the projects. Japes continued playing, Julius and I bought dinner, and JP was still nowhere to be found. hehehe. Mai left the office to work from home and Leah stayed. 10:00PM came and still the build wasn't dropped. JP went back at the office and we played Naruto on our PSPs, Japes was on his desk, and Julius was taking a nap. The four of us also had chats while waiting. At 11:30PM, Mai started a conference and told Japes to go home. Mai asked me to help the CMAP guys in validating the modules assigned to Japes. We said our goodbyes to our little brother, Japes (hahahah), and reminded him not to sleep on the bus on his way home (An incident happened before when the pocket of his pants was ripped off while he was sleeping on the bus.).. For the record, I received a text message from Japes (10 minutes after he left) saying: "thanks! starbucks n lng sa monday! ;)".. hahaha. I'll be expecting that!!! I replied to him and reminded him, once more, not to sleep on the bus. Midnight came, and still no build was dropped. To take ourselves away from sleep, JP and I had numerous chats about uncountable topics. Julius had a sleep on the couch, while Cheena, Archie and the rest prepared the package. The build was dropped at 2:00AM. While JP was deploying the build, we were informed that the build can be dropped on Monday. That was when I felt mad. We were rendering so much time to be able to deploy the build and we found out that it can be dropped on a Monday. I'll not say who's fault it was, but I guess everyone who had the overtime know who's to blame. hahahahha. A phrase to best describe what had transpired: "INSANE BULL CRAP!!!". hahahha. We all left the office at 4:00AM and ate our breakfast at Jollibee.

What a day! Stressful, disappointing, but ironically, it was also fun! Fun in the sense that we had spent time with each other and had some enjoyable moments with one another even at the center of a problem. That's what you call a well-spent overtime with friends! hahahaha..

I hope that something will be done regarding what had just transpired. No! I KNOW that something WILL BE DONE! hahahha.

I guess that would be all for now! Thanks to my CMAP brothers (my older brothers - JP and Julius, and our youngest - Japes.. hahaha.. Nakakasuka sa ka-kornyhan!). Thanks also to Leah, Cheena, Archie, Mai and the rest for the great late evening and early morning we had.

Again, watch out for the new version of Lyndon Speaks coming really soon. For now, I need to get some well-deserved sleep!

'til then!

Time on!

Catching Up

Hi Guys!

This is Lyndon Speaks' third month here in Blogspot. Again, thanks to all of you for reading my posts. Another month has passed and it only means that another site update will be happening very soon. Watch out for it!

I haven't posted anything these past few days. I was just busy with work. And I mean really, really busy! I have worked for almost 14 hours (per day) last Tuesday and yesterday! You got that right. Yesterday (a public holiday)! hehehe. As much as I like to post something here, I wasn't able to because it was already 3:00 AM when I got home from work. Although the past days were tiring, they were fun because of the people I'm with and because of the pay I'll get. hahaha.

Let me start sharing the memorable things that happened last Tuesday. Hmmm. Were those things memorable?? hehehe. I got back at work last Tuesday (I was on leave last Friday and Monday) and saw my friends after four days of being apart. hehehe. I have proven that they missed me, most especially my seatmates (Japes, Julius, JP). YES! Seatmates! I'm over with the cheesiness of calling us a family. hahaha. They missed the asarans we always have. And, as I expected, a lot of asaran had happened during that day. By the way, thanks Japes for the sweet thought of giving me a banana-que. Maybe not! hahaha. He's not giving me the food, he was only giving me the stick! Wasn't that sweet?! hahaha. The day ended with me still at work. Oh, let me rephrase that. My day at work ended early (literally! It ended early morning!) hahaha.

Yesterday, I came to work even it was a holiday. I had fun at work. Am I? Or it was fun working because of the pay?! hahaha. I also have gotten to know that Tristan has some "greenness" under his sleeves. hahaha. I'm still wondering why he laughed at what I said: "Hindi gaanong nahabaan ni Fredo yan eh." I was just refering to the dropdown listboxes. hahaha. Again, my day at work ended early. hahaha.

What do you expect transpired next?! After two straight days of overtime, I was late for work awhile ago! hahaha. But I guess that this day made me forget the stress and the tiring moments I had. I had long-running chats with my seatmates. I had numerous asaran moments with them. And to top them all, I had some "catching up" with my close friends at the newly opened Starbucks (a building away from our building). Niña, Japes, JP, and I had some coffee and experienced the seats (both indoor and outdoor) of the new Starbucks. hahaha. This time, my day will end with this blog post!

I guess that would be the end of my first blog post for the third month of Lyndon Speaks at Blogspot. Again, watch out for the next site update (that will include a new feature that would help you to track my latest blog posts). I'm still figuring this out, but nevertheless, thanks to: Jeff, now known as Jeh at work. hahaha.

Before I end, this goes to Japes: "Sira na talaga ulo mo!!! Plano mo ba talagang ihulog ako sa upuan ko?! Anyway, wala na sakin ung nangyari kanina. Hahanap na lang ako ng way to get even. hahaha. Just joking!"

Now this is for TJ: "Nagulat talaga ako sa email mo! %$@%^*&%#%! Korek! Minumura kita dahil sa sinend mo! hahahaha!"

That's it! 'til then!

Catch on!
