Please Take Your Change

It ended. Another chapter closed.

Thanks for the almost 2 years of fun, and learning NCR! Even though our time together is very limited but I must say that so much had happened in those almost 2 years. I will never regret and forget the memories, the friends I made, the experience I gained and everything from the not so pleasant to some of the most awesome.

To the following people (this will be a long list).

1. Janice Orit - for recommending me and submitting my resume. I know you will say it is nothing but without that action, I may have missed NCR entirely.
2. Sir Jonathan Co - for trusting and believing me at a time when I didn't even believe in myself.
3. Danica Tago - even though we only known each other for a short time, but what she taught me in those 3 months is all that is important and most of I'll ever need to fulfill my work. Thanks for being a mentor, and a great one at that!
4. Amabelle Quinones - for being an friend that is not a sucker, being true and being a companion that I can be myself without thinking of being judged.
5. Madelyn Alberca - for being a friend, a true friend and a great source of SSCOI knowledge.
6. Vella Frondoso - for being a contender of my favorite trivia games, receiver of my sometimes ADHD behavior and "kulitness". Thanks for the video, you made my heart melt (if that is possible).
7. Ariel Quimque and Harvey Martus - for being patient of my hyperactive behavior and being (I know) a noisy cubemate.
8. Jerryl Torremocha - for all the times you saved me and helped me fixed issues. You are the REAL MASTER of SSCOI and I hope management will see that before it is too late.
9. Randel Tutor - for being a great QA. Even though as a developer I sometimes hate you (heheh, joke), but as a person I salute you in your dedication of your work.
10. Nonon - for being a role model of "hambugero" moves. It reminded me to not take myself too seriously.
11. Yra Talaba and Edward Simtoco - for treating me as a friend even though we don't work together. I will always be thankful for letting me in, in your group. It makes my stay at NCR even more full.
12. Joemarie Amparo - for being someone courageous enough to take challenges head on.
13. Mye Labonite - for being a friend I can trust and laugh the problems out. Thanks for the almost 3 years of being a good friend.
14. Sir Ray Llesol - for being one of the greatest manager I've ever met. Thank you sir for the confidence in me and thank you for everything!

And for all the people I've met and mingled.. THANK YOU!

June
I was so busy this June.
This is my second time to explore Palawan, my first time in Coron! Nature at its best! I am overfilled with the colors Green, Blue and more of them whenever and wherever I looked. Though it was rainy and our flight was almost cancelled. Thank God all went well. Beach #6

This is also my second time in the tallest peak of Cebu, Osmena Peak in Mantalungon Dalaguete. It was 5 long years ago that I first stepped into the peak and it still is a nice experience to be back!

After almost four hours of walk; uphill, downhill, rocky roads, asphalted roads, dirt roads, muddy roads and slippery roads - and all the missteps and tumbles, I finally seen and swam in Kawasan falls! The water is so cold it strips all the stresses away.

So that's what I've been through the first half of this year! Wow! What's in store for me for the other half? Im excited and thrilled, hoping that it will all be good, no make that great adventures!
