What My Work Has Done For Me So Far

Okay. So I forgot to mention that I was employed now. I'm a Systems Administrator for a Retail Company. I've learned a few useful things during my one month on the job.

1) Training is useless

• I came into this company with everything I know already in my brain.
• I was pushed into the fire with no know-how whatsoever about the company's operations.
• I did not go through any training whatsoever yet still I managed to survive this long. (Although, it's still too early to tell.)

2) Learn New Things

• On my second day, I was asked to revamp the website. Although I knew how to do basic HTML, it was not enough for the company's CEO.
• I learned Flash, Photoshop, CSS, and a little PHP just to get what the big boss wanted.
• The HR Manager of the company wanted me to develop an HRIS (Human Resource Information System) for her use.
  
• I have no idea what the hell it is so I googled it. I read and read until I found OrangeHRM. It's an open source HRIS system developed initially for Linux. However, since it was PHP based, it can be (and I did it) implemented in Windows.

3) Make Friends at the Office

• On my first day, I was introduced to a number of people around the office. I'm really bad at names but later on, I could remember everyone.
• I hang out with 4 chicks. The 4 most beautiful and somewhat powerful women at the office.
• Consequences...Nobody questions my DTR. Nobody asks why I don't show up. I'm never alone. I have reasons to look forward to going to the office.

And there you have it. I'm pretty sure my life sounds boring. And it is. So fuck you and fuck the world. I love Torrents!

What I Did With My Free Time

After finishing the website my boss has asked me to do, I helped a friend write a love letter. Here it is:

Hi Baby,

I've finished fixing your laptop. I hope you'll be able to use it na. Babe, I know you're stuck in a very confusing situation right now. I also know that it's really difficult for you to make a decision. I just want you to know that I completely understand. I understand everything that you're going through right now. This is why I don't want you to rush things. I don't want to see you get hurt. God knows what I'll do to myself if ever see you get hurt. I know how hard this might be for you but I really need to get some things off my chest.

Ever since I saw you again, all I could think about is you. Your smile, your eyes, your face, your voice, it's all I could think about everytime I'm alone. This only gets amplified when I look at our pictures. I never thought I would feel this strong for you. I knew I was in love with you when we started talking endlessly on the phone. No one else has ever made me feel this way in my entire life. I know this is starting to sound cliche, but that's how I really feel.

When I first saw you on that bus, my heart started skipping beats. I felt like I was breathing again. I felt like all the burden in the world was taken off my shoulder. It was then I knew that you were the one. That first hug, that first kiss, meant everything to me. My life had meaning again. It was you all along ****...You...I'm just hoping someday that you could be mine. Realistically though, I realize that it's
impossible because from my standpoint, I know you still love him. On the other hand, you and I both know that love has no boundaries.

Remember before when you were with ****? I used to tell you that I didn't want to see you cry. Well, now that I'm here, I will make sure that a single tear will never fall down your beautiful cheeks. I would even stop time if I had to. Your happiness means everything to me and that is the sole reason of my existence. I will make sure you are loved the way you are meant to be loved.

Baby, I'm not a very lucrative person. As you can see, I don't have money, nor a car, and not even a house. I am a nobody. All I could promise is that this deeply flawed excuse for a man will love you the best way he could. He will do everything he can to become as stable as possible so that he can give you the life you've always deserved. I want you to enjoy life as a queen because that's what you are to me. You've mentioned before that we start fresh, starting from the bottom. Without any hesitation, I know I'm up for that challenge. All I need is you beside me. You are my inspiration Babe, and you always will be. If you really meant what you said, I am more than willing to cross the highest mountain or the deepest ocean just to climb up that ladder with you. We can do this together, Baby. Please have faith.

****

I almost cried writing this letter. It felt so real and so raw, except that it wasn't coming from me nor did the recipient mean anything to me. Damn. I replaced all the names with an asterisk (*) for obvious reasons.

Also, I wrote a song. That same friend who I wrote the letter for is going to provide me with a tune. You won't understand the song unless you see this. Make sure you see the contestant who "performs" second to the last. I'm pretty sure you'll laugh. Here goes:

sometimes you're up sometimes you're down
either you smile or either you frown
you either slack off or you give it your all
one thing's for sure life's inebitabol

you live today you die tomorrow
you experience happiness then pain and sorrow
one day you're on top the next day you fall
one thing's for sure life's inebitabol

life is inebitabol you don't realize it.
life is inebitabol you just cant fight it.
life is inebitabol you think that you can.
life is inebitabol cuz your just half a man.

everything's going according as planned
people love you and you're in demand
you decide to risk it all in Philippine Idol
guess what bitch...it's inebitabol..

life is inebitabol you don't realize it.
life is inebitabol you just cant fight it.
life is inebitabol you think that you can.
life is inebitabol cuz your just half a man.

Other than this shit, I haven't been up to much, lately. I still have a lot of plans for the office which I can't implement right now because of an infrastructure issue. Thanks for your time.
