From Evernote:
Another Sunday
I'm early today at church, in my mind the mass starts at 9 but it starts at 9:30. This is not my first time to attend to this schedule but I seemed to forgot the exact time, maybe because in the past I'm always running late.
On my things to do, I've got 2 weeks worth of website update that are just hanging and add to it the recent suspension of our account because I forgot to pay the monthly subscription fee.
However, on my work at NCR, I'm still officially on training but I'm now looking at the systems behavior. It really is a complicated systsm with, Im guessing, a thousand classes and how many thousand thousand lines of codes.
But it looks so unintimidating and simple on the user's perspective, they just scan their items, follow the voice prompts, bag their items, select their type of payment and voila, humanless cashier!
I'm still on my way of understanding how the different components fit together. Maybe sometime next week I'll be tinkering with the codes.
Well that leaves another week full of something worthwhile to do and I guess that's fine.

Saturday Jog 09.25.2010
From Evernote:
I tried to use the nike plus sensor by putting it on the "tongue" of the shoe and supported by the shoelaces. I think that it actually work since when I checked the distance after I made a single round of the oval it registered a .4 kilometer.
However when I started to run, it dropped on the track. I fit it inside my shoe, feeling a little bit uncomfortable and tried to run. I doubt the result of the sensor since aftet a whole circuit when I checked it, it only registered a 0.2 kilometers.
I will have to try another antic on how to put that sensor securely on my shoe since buying a new nike free plus is not possible as of the moment.
After jogging, myk, chery and jade and I went to robinsons and ate mang inasal. It's one of mybest times for a long time.

The Dreaded Tuesday Meetings
It's Tuesday once again.
I have a new reason why I hate Tuesdays as of late.
I've been included in this weekly meeting update about my project, it's not a bad thing though. However, I'm still not meshed into the project that all I know is just superficial things about it. I say it's not my fault, I'm not guided as to what nook or cranny to inspect. I'm just left there to rot on pdf files and more pdf files to read.
I'm dreading the idea of one day being thrown into the fire and will just stare them back with a blank teary eyed gaze.
I keep saying it's not my fault, "it's not my fault". I've asked them the roadmap and all I get is a delay because they're busy with work, and I know that there's a point in the future that I will be the delay they'll be concerned about.
I hope I'm not prophetic though, I don't want to be the cause of failure or be the failure for that matter. I want to be useful not an added weight into their already heavy workload. That's the reason I was hired, to lighten their loads.
It's still early to tell my fate, I still have a full six months, already five months, probationary period and there's a planned big activity next month that maybe will test my usefulness. Until then.

Sunday Gospel Reflection
"You can't serve two masters at once..."
Is this the Lord's way telling me to stop already what I'm doing?
I'm hating myself for being in this situation. Honestly I'm tired myself. But I feel guilty everytime I think about quitting. Technically I still have obligations that I need to fulfill.
My reputation rests at hand.
I'll lose a good friend, but that's not only it I'll lose myself too.
So, it still hangs and my decision is to pull myself together and try to make this work. If it still fails, then I have to accept that sometimes luck is not at my side all the time.

Hungry For More: A Position Paper(?)
note: Don't read if you haven't finished or is about to read The Hunger Games trilogy, a lot of spoilers follow.
Panem "was", "is" and maybe "will be" upon us.
"Was" because it happened in the past. I relate the hunger games to the Gladiator games where killing was seen as a form of entertainment. The value of a slave's life, a human, was next to nothing, either being killed by other humans or mauled by lions, tigers and other wild animals. We have the Coliseum ruins as a memorial to it.
"Is" because like Panem our current world is much like the districts and the capitol. Go to the provinces where the farmers till their soil day and night, to the fishing villages where people risks their lives every night to catch fish. Are these people enjoying their fruits? No! They live in utter poverty. They can't even prepare a decent meal for their own children. But look at the cities, the megapolis. Foods abound in wet market, grocery stores, convenience stores, restaurants - all you need is cash (the paper or the plastic kind) and you'll have a decent meal without breaking a sweat.
"Will be" because with all those nuclear weapons hidden, being made, will be made -we are inching minute by minute to midnight doomsday when all these countries that possess them either use them against one another, misuse them or release them by "accident".
The apocalypse in essence had happened, is happening and will happen, sooner than later.
Maybe we ourselves will put an end to our own existence.

Mara-walka-thon
It is my first time to join a marathon.
I had a great time, it was a nice experience.
Though now I feel pain all over my body and it is difficult to walk.
I think I hyper extend my muscles.
Hope this will improve tomorrow or I'll need to take those anti-muscle pain pills.
