Vday Surprise

Chase's been out of town for the past few days so I was actually quite disappointed that I haven't seen him for quite a while, and that even though Valentine's day is overrated, I still wanted to see him, even if though we don't really celebrate this occassion.

And so it's valentine's day, and he sent me a msg that he'll be back in Manila by 6pm. So I told him my meeting's running a little long and I'd probably be staying later than usual in the office since I'm quite delayed with the module that I am working on.

I think I got home around 9:30 pm already and to my surprise, Chase was there!! Waiting for me this whole time! Turns out, he's been in Manila since this afternoon, dropped by Dangwa to buy a bouquet of roses, and asked my parents if he could surprise me tonight. Haha funny. Of all the days, it was today that I decided to stay late in the office. It was really sweet of him to wait all this time. He told me he's been in the house at around 5:30 pm. He just waited, had dinner with my parents, waited and waited till I got home. And he gave me these:

I love this guy. This is the first time he was able to surprise me! He always tries to but I somehow manage to squeeze it out from him before the actual surprise!

And he even knows one of the few material things that actually make me smile.... newly undiscovered Pringles flavors!!! He apparently got it from some imported goods stuff while he was in Clark.

lovely project

I'm really enjoying my project right now. It's small, and it's not my usual web application, but I still like it. Haven't felt this way about wanting to work for quite a while.

saying goodbye

Today was our last day working at HP as consultants. It was really sad saying goodbye to these people who've welcomed us and have been part of our lives for the past 1.5 years. I am really excited as I am about to embark on a new project. However, I felt sad as well because these people are not just my colleagues, but they became my good friends as well.

As a final goodbye, my teammate and I prepared some food for the whole team. And it was really sweet that the team gave me and Dan a simple goodbye present. It was a scrapbook that had our pictures with them, and they wrote down short letters and notes for us. It was really sweet. I sure am going to miss these guys. :)

new stuff about me

A lot of changes for me this past week alone!

1. Finally bought this:

nokia-e51

It's a Nokia e51 model. It's a quite expensive though. But the features are nice. I haven't explored much of its capabilities, but I believe this will go handy, at least for the next 3 years.

2. I had a haircut!

This haircut is way short. I originally wanted a shoulder length cut, however, for some reason, I wanted a real change, and here I am, shorty short hair. Been having nice feedbacks from the cut. I still laugh at myself when I look in the mirror. I haven't gotten used to it still.

3. I passed exam 1!

I didn't get a really high grade, but at least I passed. This just means I learned something from all that studying. Now, exam 2 is next, but I probably won't be taking it any time soon, or until I get the right and enough experience on designing applications.

4. Moving on to a new project

After 1.5 years, finally, a new and interesting project for me!!

5. Possible new sideline project

I talked with a friend regarding a possible application development. I haven't committed anything yet, until I get full commitment from my two other team members. It's a whole package deal.

This is gonna be an interesting project since we're given the freedom to choose what to use and all. Marcy and I will have fun with this (hopefully).

ouch

I can't bear to watch financial market these days.
And I haven't checked my portfolio for a couple of weeks now... and won't be doing so for quite a while.

Will be keeping my remaining money in the banks for now.
My stock investments (given that I wasn't able to sell) will now be a long term hold for now. Nothing much we can do about it. ipits ipits!
