I’ve been geting election related SMS, most probably from Team Unity campaigners. I’m getting it from a +639225122109 through my Sun Cellular line. They’re probably doing random spamming since my number’s relatively new and I haven’t really put them on application forms yet. And I’m not alone. It seems Rico and some others are also receiving the exact same messages.

Confidence is not one of my biggest assets. It’s not something I can readily say I possess. I usually need a bit of time to gain it. It helps a lot if the people around you actually believe that you can do things. Things that you only have tiny shreds of confidence to do. People close to you telling you that you’ll do good, great even; that you’ll make it helps a lot in keeping a healthy confidence level.
Filipino IT workers are lowest-paid in Asia Pacific–survey is an example of a badly constructed headline in my opinion. It should’ve said something like IT workers in the Philippines or Philippine-based IT workers, but not Filipino IT workers, since there are a lot of Filipino IT workers in Asia Pacific specially in Singapore. And I don’t think they’re paid low at all. And the headline can be taken to mean the wrong way that Filipino IT workers are paid less because they’re Filipino not because of the state of the local IT industry. But, it’s just me thinking.

Captured this while walking around the village for the Stations of the Cross. I actually didn’t expect it to turn out the way it did.
It’s the skill that a lot of jeepney and cab drivers demonstrate when they cross an intersection when there’s a red light. They had a premonition that it will turn green.
We did a visita iglesia last night. As always there were still a lot of people everywhere, mostly with their families. We went to Sto. Domingo, Sta. Teresita, Our Lady of Lourdes, U.S.T., Claret, U.P. and finally at our village chapel. I’ll post photos once I’ve imported them.
I wonder though who needed more than four police escort vehicles just to make his/her rounds for visita iglesia, with blinkers at that. I’m also not quite sure if going to church is official business. Sometimes I think people just don’t understand what cost cutting means.
There was a party last Friday in celebration of the wins at the recently concluded AdFest. Even if I practically new almost everyone there already, I didn’t actively mingle with everyone. I stayed in places where there were just a handful of people with quite meaningful conversations. The “big crowd” isn’t something I really like. And I was probably avoiding discussion on a decision I made.
