I have so much to do, and I dont yet have the time to organize them all and frankly, i have not yet been inspired to actually change the layout of my little site (and a lot of this has to do with me forgetting HTML and then my lack of knowledge of CSS). So until then here are some ideas.

1. Project: Overhaul 4.0 will be put on hold until I have come up with a better plan. It shall be renamed Project: Overhaul 4.1 due to the fact that it's a major change from what has been stated in the current project.

2. Since I'm such a camwhore, I'll also try to put up a section for photoblogging. I think that it's a great idea. But so that people wont start getting sick of seeing my face the whole time, I would be putting stuff there that's not only me, but other topics as well. With that in mind, I need to have a digicam and a working pc. hahahaha

--update: got my new pc!

3. Serious life routine changes need to take effect immediately.

4. I also need to get the following ASAP
- The Book of Answers
- an altar

5. I also have to learn how to budget my time. Recently, I think that I have been spreading myself too thin for so-so reasons. I think that I need to do something more worthy of my time.

6. New dog.

Again, while Project: Overhaul 4.0 is on hold, this will be the main enrty that you would see (at least here in this site) for these things will be my main focus for the coming months.

I have personally compiled a small list of things, occurences or people to avoid to make sure 2010 sails as smooth as possible. I would like to reiterate that this is a personal list and this has been extensively reviewed by myself and some of my closest friends, edited to ensure my continued breathing and well....let's stop there.

1. cholesterol
2. nonlight alcohol
3. seafood
4. violence
5. recreational drugs
6. rugby / thinner
7. mcdo / jollibee (if it can be helped)
8. pork sisig
9. losing battles
10. losing phones
11. people with [j] anywhere in their names (or a [g] that is pronounced as a [j])
    
12. too much work
13. people with any form / derivative of angel in their names
14. Sagittarians and Arieses
15. people who have [mi] somewhere in their names.
16. dimples
17. oily food
18. pimples
19. extra rice
20. being gullible and stupid
21. nurses
    
22. reading signs altogether
23. blaming myself for not being what others expect me to be
24. trying to win 4 people at the same time
25. falling in love, too hard, too fast
    

Wow. This is gonna be one hell of a post. Let me just take a breather and I'll get right on it.

Okay. 2009 has been a rollercoaster ride for me. So many ups and downs that initially I thought that it was the worst year in my entire existence. I dont even know how I pulled it off, I think this is the year that I was actually suicidal every morning. Well, just in the morning.

To start, this is the year that I left CVG, after almost 5 years. Things just didnt work out and I had better opportunities elsewhere. I left a wonderful family that I still miss everyday. I had such a great time there, but the circumstances at the moment prevent me from returning. Perhaps another time and another place.

After that, I got into a series of other things that kept me busy. It wasnt that fun, but it kept the wheel greasy, at least so that I can run a few more miles. Well, that was that. My resurrection is still being processed so all I need to be is patient (haha gudlak).

I also met a lot of wonderful people this year. I'm lucky to have met them, and I would like to get a chance to see them more often. EC - Greenhills, Dell, Teletech. Mostly all from work or the odd jobs here and there.

This is my record year for the greatest number of hearts broken. I dont know what happened in the process but I am reviewing that so that I can prevent it if I can help it. Experience is the best teacher after all. I might still not be totally over from one of them, but then again, all things like these leave scars, it just depends on how deep.

My whole world was turned upside down. Literally. I shit you not. But now that all that is over I'd like to focus on the better part of this year. Project Overhaul went really well but it isnt complete yet (note to self: please update the Project to streamline current needs). Anyway this is about fitness. I dont want to boast or anything, but this is the slimmest I've ever been so far.

So yeah, the gym. I've met a lot of wonderful people in the gym and I'm already considering it as my second home. I've made it a point to at least workout 5 times each week, and even if I'm not at the gym (or cant be due to location or schedule) then I try exercising on my own. So other than losing more than 50 pound, we were invited to join a marathon. Well, to be fair, it was Tina and her friends (Lee and Raffy) who decided to join the marathon and I declined the first time because I thought 'Why would I want to do something like that?'. So after they registered, I thought that was the end of the matter.

Now before they could even run that marathon for New Balance (which was 10km. They said 5km was too easy, and these people have never run marathons before hahaha) another marathon came up, which was a 5km run for Rotarun. Tina decided that this was the perfect opportunity to gauge our current skills (hahaha!) and see how much more effort they'd have to exert after running 5KM. This time around, I got peer pressured in by the gym people to join because they were joining this event as well.

Running 5km is not something easy to do if you're not a runner or if you dont have a sport at all.

So I have the following marathons under my belt:

Rotarun 09 (5KM)

Addidas: King of the Road 2009 (5KM)

Timex: Ironman Challenge (10KM)

Dare to be Fit n Right (5KM)

New Balance Power Run 2009 (10KM)

Conquer Corregidor 2009 (10Mi = 17KM)

So yeah, that's my major accomplishment this year. I'll probably try something better next year. Like maybe a triathlon or an ironman challenge. Maybe try a different outdoor activity as well. But I'm not giving up running.

So yeah, in conclusion this doesnt amount to very much, but some people and some events made this year tolerable for me.

I hope 2010 brings something better for all of us. Happy New Year.

Ice wishes to thank the following people, without them walang kwenta ang 2009. 

Tina for sticking with me through thick and thin.

Jbird, Andy, Jula and Joycee for being my support team. Kahit nasa iba-ibang lugar kami, damayan pa rin.

Jahzon and DJ for being there and reminding me that highschool is still the best. You guys are the best! Triangle pa rin tayo haha! 

Carl, Sean and Manix:  dahil sa inyo medyo buhay pa rin ang outthinking and outdoing sa puso ko.

Carlo dahil pinagtyagaan mo ako at hindi naman pala pointless ang pagji-gym hahaha!

Ram for influencing me to run and allowing me to discover that I actually like to run.  

Lee and Raffy, kung hindi dahil sa kalokohan nyo na pagsali dun sa New Balance, I'd probably still be an indoors person hahaha!

There are a lot more people I'd like to thank but I'd run out of space here, so to everyone and anyone who has touched my life in one way or another, in happiness or heartbreaks, thank you. You have made me a better (?) person today. I hope that we are all successful in our endeavors in 2010. Happy New Year! 

Happy New Year everyone! I'll post my 2009 review in a bit. Ü

Well, at least *some* updates.

First off, I would like to say sorry to this website because I have totally ignored it in the past few months (counting 5 months since my last real login, I think.) I've been busy with a myriad of different things and between keeping my sanity and the house, it has really been a whirlwind of shit coming in from all directions

Not that this time around is a breather, but I finally just found a few moments to spare and share (if you are a fan of this page, which is probably not the case). I think, to be honest, I am typing/writing here because I know that no one reads this anymore and that everyone else is busy with facebook or multiply or twitter or plurk.

Now on to the juicy stuff.

Life isnt all that great, in fact it's been so low that I'm hoping that the old adage, when you're all the way down, have hope because there's nowhere else to go but up, applies to me. In all aspects I would say.

Project: Overhaul has proven to be effective, but it still needs a little change here and there, and again, the main problem is time and execution. I am giving this more thought and expanding the project in other aspects to complete the "overhaul". I've also received feedback from some folks saying a variety of things. A good thing, but I want to drive them to a common reaction.

I've also had a little action when it comes to love life, take note, it's literally just a little and some action. I have learned a lot from those encounters both good and (mostly) bad. I think I've grown up a little more now. If I could only go into another relationship, then that would be great. But I dont think I can take a repeat incident of that, so that's why I'm mainly redirecting my focus to the Project and to my career.

If you would recall, about 4 years ago, I had a dream. I think that circumstances are forcing me into fulfilling that dream. Not that I dont want that to happen, it's just that its another adjustment and I'm horrible at that. But it is a welcome change. Like they said, there's no other way but go up so I guess it'll be a good move for me. I've also been thinking that it might not just be a good move for my career but overall. I'm still listing down the cons of it, but all the pros way out weigh the cons. An indication that the only reason I'm not pursuing it is because I am afraid.

REJECTION. A word a lot of people hate. And it's not just love life. When it comes to everything else, it becomes reaaally frustrating. Well, it's one thing I share in common with a lot of different people. Anyway, all this---since the start---has been a really good learning experience (although one that I wont repeat) and I have finally seen where this is going. I know what to do, and slowly but surely, even with this....uh....handicap, I will finally break through and be happy with my life.

I would like to apologize to my readers as I have not updated this site in a looong time. I've been busy with so many other things that (real life and online) that I remembered just now that this is my place of refuge. I guess we should begin with updates.

1. Well, Project: Overhaul 5.0 has finally given results and I like it.

2. I am no longer with Convergys. That place is nice, yes, but I think that it's time that I moved on.

3. I'm trying to pursue a career as a flight attendant. I've always wanted to be one. I never wanted to be in a desk all day. And people would say it's dangerous, but that's part of the thrill.

4. I'm enjoying my month long vacation. I know that after all this, it'll be mindless work again. So I'm grabbing all the me time I can get. Ü

5. Snowy made it! We're trying to fatten him up muna before I take pictures hahaha! Fuck Parvo!

6. I upgraded Maxx into something better. Too bad the motherboard has a broken RAM slot, so I'll have to take him back to the shop prolly next week.

7. I'll be back with a vengeance.

8. I have so many things to accomplish for myself before I start dealing with the rest of the world again.

That's pretty much it. I'm not gonna go into details anymore. Past is past and I'm letting go.

Before the day ends, I would like to greet everyone...

Merry Christmas!
