7 MUST DOs for 2006
1) Stress free event. Mula ngayon ay talagang gagalingan ko na sa aking trabaho. Marami-rami na rin akong boljak for the last what, 7 months I've been working on this project. And hindi ko alam kung magtatagal pa ako next year sa OIC para bumawi na naman. Therefore I have 4 more months to go to make this my best and most successful event yet.


Start Date: Now
Goal: Stress free event nga!


-----


2) Gitara. I've recently taken to learning how to play the guitar. By recent I mean since two days ago ^_^ Sadyang mahina lang talaga ang aking motor-sensory coordination (ba yun?) kaya i'm learning like three chords pa lang - G, D, and A since Thursday. Ang hirap kabisaduhin at lalong mahirap magshift ng chords! hehe. At this rate, makakabuo na ako ng kanta by December. ASTIG!!! =P


My teacher is my sister, who's just learning to play too. She doesn't advise me to study via songhit charts kasi hindi raw accurate. Pero nung nakita ko rin e kaydami palang chords and minor and sharp etc. etc. good luck na lang sa akin. =)


Start Date: Now
Goal: Dapat may alam na akong tugtugin na several songs by end of June ^_^


-----


3) Features (letrato). May nakita si Emkay na brokyur (brochure according to my favorite lolo - Estelito P. Mendoza or EPM for short!) ng mga digicam, laptop at mp3 players.


Anyway, there's an installment plan for two such digicams, 2.5K and 2.8K a month for 12 months. 6.1 megapixels yung isa, 8.2 naman yung isa, touch screen pa! I've always been interested in photography kasi isa akong frustrated artist munit hindi ako magaling magdraw or anything. Kaya't fea-feature-an ko na lang ang magagandang mga bagay ^_^


Kung pwede lang e manual camera at gusto ko pa nga matuto magdevelop ng sariling pics. kaya lang ubod ng mahal na hobby iyon.


Start Date: June (Start of 12 months installment plan ko)
Goal: Kumuha ng maraming maraming features sa sarili kong digicam!!!


-----


4) Alternative exercise regime. This is RJ and my last month with Fitness First. We opted to freeze our accounts kasi from June - November this year kasi kasagsagan na ng event namin and we won't have much time anymore to go to the gym during that period. Kakahinayang nga e kasi in the last three months ata e halos once a week na lang ako nakakapag gym. And ngayon ngang May e hindi man lang namin malubos yung remaining 10 days we have left.


Kung babalik pa ako sa Fitness First in December, I still don't know. Pero sa totoo lang, I'd rather transfer my membership na. Lugi ako don kasi di ko naman namamaximize yung membership ko. Although if I had more free time, I would have enjoyed joining the group exercises there.


Anyway e kailangan may alternative exercise regime na kami para naman hindi masayang ang epekto ng pag gygym. Options are:


a) Once a week jogging sa UP acad oval. Pwede dito para siguro once or twice a month pwede pa akong mag wall climbing sa Power Up Tandang Sora.


b) Once a week jogging sa Marikina Sports Center. Pwede rin naman dito para mas maraming choice of activities. Pwedeng magbike, magswim, magbadminton or tumambay sa riverpark sa gabi. ^_^


c) 2-3 times a week jogging sa Sanlo Village. (huhuhu wala na ba talaga akong buhay???) Kung dito e malapit sa office, kahit gabi gabi pa ako mag jog. Pwede ring magbike, magswing at magslide sa playground hehe


Munit syempre kailangan in between e nageexercise din ako somehow sa bahay.


Start Date: June
Goal: To keep fit and healthy. Mula nung nag gym ako e hindi na ako nakakaramdam ng body pains mashado when stressed.


-----


5) New year, new destination. One of my other dreams is to travel. And every year since 2002, I’ve had the opportunity to visit either a new place here in the Philippines or visit a new country. Early this year the new places I’ve seen are Pagudpod and Vigan in Ilocos, and Baguio. By year end, I want to see something new again. Target destinations (in order of probability and preference):


a) Bangkok
b) Kota Kinabalu or Penang in Malaysia
c) Ilo Ilo – Cebu – Bohol hopping


Start Date: June (ang pag-iipown!!!)
Goal: Bangkok talaga please! please! please!


-----


6) Maneho. Matagal ko nang inattempt mag-aral magdrive. last year, nagpaturo kami sa driver ng boss namin while our boss was out of the country. Nagpapractice kami sa magagandang streets ng San Lorenzo Village, hanggang sa nalaman naming bawal pala magturo dun kasi naiistorbo namin yung mga dumadaang auto!!!


Kaya lang, gawa nga ng magaling kong motor-sensory coordination, e hanggang pagstart lang ng kotse and 1st gear lang ang alam kong gawin. Hindi man lang ako marunong magshift ng gears huhuhu =(


Gusto ko na talaga matuto magmaneho para naman makapagdrive ako *labo!* hehe hopefully payagan ako humiram ng tsikot sa mga ate ko para mas makagimik yeah!


Start Date: October (driving school na lang siguwo...)
Goal: by December e dapat pinapahiram na ako ng tsikot ^_^


-----


7) Career change or career improvement. Currently, I’m thinking about leaving my current company by end of the year or early next year. But I’m torn between the opportunities that this company still offers and my desire for something completely different.


Like next year, the event I’m handling might go to India or Vietnam. Syet. That’s India we’re talking about! If I stay on, hopeful I’ll still handle the same project. I’ll get more opportunities to travel. Plus our company has this ‘ownership plan’ starting, I’ll build more contacts and get a more solid foundation if I want to grow into a CSR-related career.


On the other hand, sometimes I feel I’ve reached my saturation point with this company. I don’t really see myself doing events forever and growing old with this company. So why not start the change now? Anyway I can still pursue a career in CSR after OIC. If I do leave, I’m planning to:


a) Take up one or two language or Econ/Psych classes come November. Malamang nasa OIC pa ako noon, but I'll already be looking for other work. Web / graphic designing is one possibility for transitory work. (i.e. habang wala pa ako sa career na type ko and ipon mode ako.) looks like a profitable venture, plus i can work free lance and own my time. hmmm... kaya ko kaya i-self study yun?


b) Take my chances in working while studying abroad. Possible destinations are: Singapore, KL, Jakarta. US or Europe (far cry pero malay natin, para-paraan lang yan ^_^).


I’ll need to start looking into the possible alternatives for the two.


Start Date: August
Goal: decide by September whether I’m staying or not, and map out my next steps


-----


Ang dami dami ko pang gustong gawin pero yan na lang muna ang priorities ko for this year. LANG daw e noh! Kung may maisingit pa akong iba e why not poknat? hay. I'm so excited!!!
