A Tree

October first light

He wakes up at six in the morning. He takes a hot shower to rebel against the cold October first light. He then conditions himself for another long day at the office. He watches all the people he bumps into on his way to work. He tries to think what inspires these people to pursue the things they do. He struggles. He wants to know. He wants to understand. He yearns for enlightenment so that he, too, can get motivated. But the answer is very elusive. Maybe tonight, on his way home, he will finally find it.

At peace

I’m now just looking at the sky. Watching as the clouds fold and unfold. Listening to the chirping birds and buzzing bees. Simply staring at the blossoming flowers while a couple of butterflies dance with them.

I can’t think of a good title

I stopped by a Nike outlet at Greenbelt this afternoon. Lots of items were on sale. I had considered buying a pair of shoes when I saw how great the selections are. I was holding the shoes already when I started thinking not to buy them. I just realized that I might be needing the money for other more important stuff. And yes, I was able to control myself. Though I won't deny that I really fell in love with that pair of shoes. Hehehehe..

Ok, so tomorrow is my final exam in Strategic Information Systems Development. I'm down to the last 50 pages of the book. But I still need to review the summary of all the chapters as well as the indexes. I will be spending the whole night in the office reading and reviewing. I prefer to study here in the office so that I won't have a choice but to read and read. I hate reviewing at home because for sure my eyes will get heavy and tired before midnight.

I hope this plan will work out well. Ooopsss.. I'll be watching a movie tonight before drowning myself with acad stuff. Sometimes, it adds up thrill to do stupid things before the important ones. Maybe not stupid, let's just call it plain pleasure. Hahahaha.. Wish me luck!

I’m feeling good

I have been busy developing a client-server application the past month. It’s a bit fulfilling learning java socket programming, threading, client-server communication through the use of XML (building and parsing oh yeah!), password masking in java command line and other stuff on my own. The deadline is fast approaching but I don’t fret about it. I know I’m on the right track. The only thing that worries me is the documentation part. Whew, here comes Data Flow Diagram again. Along with communication protocols, process flow diagram, UI and security considerations, blahblahblah, blehblehbleh. But all in all, I’m damn satisfied with my work! Oh yes!
