Yes, an unexpected holiday is coming this Tuesday.
"Al Adha" is one of the greatest feast of the Islam community and since the president signed it already it means - NO WORK for the most of us!
December is quickly coming and our company is "forcing" us to render vacation leaves starting December 22 (and for those who doesn't yet have VL, credits are given which will be paid when you have VL credits available).
Also on December 11 onwards, up until January of 2011 will be a BIG test on my capability to handle this project on my own since my partner and expert on this project will be having her vacation in Europe. Good luck to me (and I need it!).
Company Christmas party will be on Dec. 4, a non-working Saturday, and I will be part of IDLE HANDZ group that will present on a Showtime-like program along with my POSI teammates.
Dec 10 overnight until Dec 11 noon, will be the Christmas party of the POSI team.
Dec 11 will be the Christmas party with my SPEDmates.
Wow I think I need to jog twice as much with all those food coming!

Nostradamus Effect
Hello busyness.
Next week's going to be hectic.
Ok, this is just for fun. I don't have, in any way, the ability to "see" the future. I'm just speculating on what may happen next week. Why specifically next week? Because next week is the start of something new.
Vision for Monday:
I have to go to the NBI office to get a renewal of my clearance (this is scheduled by the way). In the morning meeting with my part time job, we may discuss how I'm going to work now that my schedule has changed. The thing I'm most afraid of? If they will ask me what time will I commit to report to them. I just can't simply answer that, since I'm sure that this new job is not strictly a 9hrs (including lunch) job type and OTs are extremely frequent possibilities.
Speaking of my new job, I also need to pass my requirements and documents to the HR by this time.
Vision for Wednesday:
The start. The beginning. My 3rd job. C++. Ok maybe the first day is getting acquainted with the people, place, and the project. I have a maximum of 6 months probation period to prove to them my potential on this "C++" thing. I'm excited nonetheless, I like challenges, and if there is one thing I can say I'm good at, is accepting challenges and winning them (the more when this challenge involves my quality of life).
So Wednesday is the start.
Goodbye waking up late.
Goodbye to afternoon naps.
Goodbye 8 hrs sleep.
Next week's going to be hectic.

The Day of July 15
That yellow (or cream colored) long sleeved shirt I wore at Dianne's wedding is my only choice to wear for the interviews. I have two job interviews today, the first one, at 10:00am is in IT Park and the other one at 3:00pm is in Cebu Business Park (Ayala).
It was a nice interview at Company N. First I was interviewed by their HR, and all I can say is that she's nice and I love her voice, it's like I'm listening to a prerecorded message. After some standard HR questions (tell me about yourself, salary, etc..) she quickly forwarded me to my technical interview with the team lead.
They're looking for C++ programmers, and I honestly didn't know how to code C++ for now. But they're lenient for long as I know OOP concepts. And bet I really do! The interview went on like a casual conversation and I felt at home answering questions about Inheritance, Polymorphism, Encapsulation. I know these stuffs, and I felt confident when I answered this particular question "In implementing a list, how do you clear the list (delete all contents)?". It's like a jackpot question for me, since I don't only know the answer I absolutely know how to answer it in a way that they will say "yes that's it!".
I was asked to return after lunch to have an interview with the manager. The way the manager interviewed me, it seems to me like an investigation, scrutinizing details that I put on my resume. For a moment I felt I was being interrogated by a crime (but it was just me). Turns out that somehow he knew an aunt of mine (he even knew that we live beside the road-but I didn't pry more on how he had such knowledge). He told me that I will know the results the following day. After I left the premises the HR called me to return again by 1:00pm the following day.
I was next off to Company L for a 3:00pm interview. When I arrived I was told to go to the 9th floor. After some HR forms I was escorted to the 19th floor where my interviewers were. Again I was relieved that my interviewers were cool enough and not intimidating.
The interview quickly turned into another fun conversation (it felt like I was talking to my long unseen friends) about my past experiences (as a programmer of course!) and about my hobbies, and interests. I had a great time relating to them about my past jobs and my decisions (they asks why I took the licensure examination for teachers). I was getting ready to answer technical questions but they said that it will be in an another interview (if there is another). The position became more interesting to me when they mentioned "our team gets to travel often..." - that's it I was sold. I was a bit disappointed though since I was ready, very ready to answer those technical questions. I was told to wait for further announcement (calls).
I guess that yellow (cream colored) long sleeve shirt I wore at Dianne's wedding is a lucky charm.
