I have trouble going home from class every Thursday night. It's not a problem of transportation, as i could easily get a ride by just patiently waiting for a PUJ by the lightened waiting shed just beside gate 3. It is the distance between our classroom (ICSI 211) and the main road leading to the gate.
I just couldn't figure out why every Thursday night, just after our EC 215 class, it seems that I’m the only one who's walking there. I don't usually go for ghost stories, but every time I take that road, i feel that there are a number of eyes watching me & mind you, it's not a very comforting feeling. Parang someone’s staring at me (kinda scary). The sad thing is that, the only person whom i can talk to in the class doesn't even offer me a ride in his car even only up to the gate. Hay... Pag ako nagka-kotse, I’ll be more considerate & sensitive for those who are in need. :)

I went to Los Baños yesterday for an interview. I plan to transfer to any company who will hire me and give me good compensation for the skills and knowledge that I will impart to them (naks! as if :) preferably an NGO and of course, located in Los Baños.
After more than a year and a half here in UA&P, I opened myself up again to the idea of transferring to another job. Only a few months ago, I would constantly convince my two other officemates to stay and consider the benefits that they would get when they stay working in this university. I myself decided then that it is best to stay here until I finished my graduate studies in Ateneo. It is because the availability of resources that I can use while I’m still studying is almost endless (yeah, almost...).
That is until the fateful afternoon of June 25 when 2 laptops and 1 LCD got stolen right under our noses. Since then i had to live in paranoia.
Sad noh? I love this place. i love the CR here (because there is a constant supply of tissue paper inside each cubicle), i have my very own computer (with internet connection 24 hours a day), a good environment with nice people around and many more. But I guess when the desire and the drive to work is no longer within you, then it is time to let go of things and look for another (and greener) pasture to graze.
