Goin' Texas

So, we arrived safe here at the hotel. Our trip went well despite of me feeling a headache everytime the plane takes off and land. It's like my head will explode from inside. It's probably the pressure or something. I don't know but with this I'm starting to hate flying.


First stop was Narita airport. We arrived around 11:30-ish. There's plenty of time for our next flight so we head to a place called Blue Sky and ate Chinese noodle soup.

It looks good (and like what Naruto's favorite) so we ordered one each.

We're staying here at the Staybridge Suites at George Bush Turnpike. I've unpacked my clothes. Now we're going to get our dinner. Compliments by the hotel. The food for today? Ravioli and Vegetable Salad.

Anyway, below are some of the photos during our trip.

I'm Going Back to GLOBE

Yep! I changed my TNT (Talk and Text) number and went back to globe.

I like the new one - the "Globe Tattoo Prepaid". This time I think I'm staying as long as I can. Nahirapan pa akong maghanap ng SIM dahil ang gusto ko nagsisimula sa 917 like I used to have. Nawala na rin kasi yung dati kong number eh. 'Yung 09174590520. Ang tagal din sa akin 'yang number na 'yan. At Autoloadmax* pa 'yan. I think nung college ko pa ang number na 'yan eh. Kaso 'yun nga nawala eh.

Here are some of the promos that I like and most likely pushed me to go back:

  1. No expiration of load. Usual prepaid load has expiration of 24 hours to 5 days to a month. If you don't use it all up by the time it expires, lugi ka. But by registering to IMMORTALTXT10, you'll have 50 text to Globe/TM and 10 text to other network and it won't expire.

  2. Call of 20 minutes for P20. Dito ako natuwa. Ang tagal ng 20 minutes kaya. With this it's like P1/min. 'Yan ang matipid!

  3. Internet and Signal Coverage. Mabilis ang internet walang duda. Hindi gaya ng ibang nagpapanggap na mabilis. Ang signal? Malakas. Dito sa bahay namin pumunta ang team ni Mo. Tingnan ko lang kung masasabi pa nilang ang prinopromote niya ang fastest. Ni wala nga kahit isang bar ng signal. Kailangan ka pang lumapit at sumabit sa bintana para makakuha ng isa o dalawang bar ng signal.


Peace! Opinyon ko lang po. Hehe!

New Phone: Sony Ericsson C901

I'm normally not fond of changing mobile phones frequently unless the one I have is nothing but a paper weight. So, after numerous research and lots and lots of thinking, I bought a new phone - Sony Ericsson C901.... and so far, I am liking it!

The photos I took from it was superb for a camera phone. The videos taken from this phone are not bad either. With its 5 MP camera coupled with a Xenon flash, every photo you take has that crisp output.

The phone package contains the standard set:

  • C901 unit

  • Earphone

  • Charger (with socket adapter)*

  • Manuals


* I think the socket adapter was given by the store so I don't know if it is really was included on the original package.



I also got a free Sony Ericsson speaker. Great for listening some favorite tunes if you're tired listening through the earphone.



And, oh, I also got a year warranty on the phone.

Here are some sample photos. The third photo was taken in pitch black with phone set to auto flash.



Here's the phone's complete specs from GSMArena.com:

Yup! I am going back to Texas!

The company will be sending me back to Texas for some work stuff. Am not that excited like I was before. I don't know why. Probably because I am going there not in a per diem travel? Or probably because I've been there and nothing will be new? Or probably I will again miss our wedding anniversary?

In any case, this is something I can't say 'No' to. Look at the bright side. At least I can travel again. And I can see all the hot women at Narita Airport.

No worries. I will be blogging everything.

...'wag mong angkinin!

Bakit kaya kung minsan may mga taong mahirap makita na tinulungan sila ng iba?

Di ba nakakairita minsan na tinulungan mo na nga pero wala ka man lang maririnig o ma-te-trace na anuman tungkol sa iyo na tumulong? Kahit man lang "Thank You" o kaya naman "Uy! buti tinulungan mo ako, Salamat!". O kahit man lang ilagay na lang sa e-mail na "our". O kahit na anong pronoun na mararamdaman mong kasali ka sa pag-ayos ng problema.

Ano 'yun? PRIDE?

Pffttt!

Work and Contentment

Work Work Work

Today, I found something that made me think...Is it that important?

Me: Importante ang ano?!

Ako: Ano pa eh di ang sweldo?

Me: Hindi ko alam, importante nga ba?

Ako: Oo naman di ba? Masarap kaya madaming pera. Bakit kuntento ka na ba meron ka ngayon?

Me: Medyo. Hindi naman lahat ng kasiyahan nakukuha ng pera di ba? Basta masaya pamilya mo, ikaw, mga kaibigan mo. Ayos na yun di ba? Basta nakaka-survive kayo araw-araw.

Ako: Whooo!! Plastik ka! Di ba nga minsan tamang tama lang ang sweldo mo? Minsan pa nga kulang. Minsan nga hindi na kayo nakakabili ng kung anong gusto niyo dahil sapat lang para sa pagkain at iba pa? Tapos sasabihin mo OK lang?! Sira ka ba?

Me: Oo, minsan nasasabi ko 'yan. Pero naiisip ko naman na ayos lang. Ganun naman talaga di ba? Meron naman nakalaan sa iyo pagdating ng panahon. Hindi lahat ng bagay dito sa mundo masarap. Oo minsan nakakatikim ka ng ginhawa. Siyempre minsan dapat makatikim ka rin ng hirap. I'm sure meron din naman darating para sa iyo. Kelangan mo lang talagang maghintay. Lakipan mo ng panalangin at tiwala sa Ama, sigurado ibibigay Niya ang dapat para sa iyo. You just have to TRUST and WAIT.

Ako: Wuusshhuu!!

Me: I found the below article. This could give you a different perspective or something.

Work is love made visible


By Kahlil Gibran

About 80% of people are unhappy at work, and 20% are happy. Our culture has separated work from passion, and taught us to prefer a higher paycheck to higher happiness. That mistake costs us our souls. The goal of career development is to uncover one's gifts and passions, and to link them to the practical needs of the world. We call that "being in the right place," "finding a good fit," or "making the best use of one's talents."

In What Color Is Your Parachute? my mentor, Dick Bolles, quotes Fred Buechner, who writes, "There are all different kinds of voices calling you to all different kinds of work . . . (and) the place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet." [2001 Edition, page 57.]

High compensation and high happiness are not incompatible. It's not that we shouldn't seek money, and lots of it; many of our clients do. But we should first seek to love, or at least to like, what we're doing. That's the realization of our highest calling.
