Relax me not

2006-10-03T21:45:00.000+08:00

I have less workload this week so I am in full throttle with my review.
Just thought of finishing at least 7 CCIE title in the next 3 years. That mean, I will not be that old or too late to get a loved one after a successfull career.
Sigh, I hope have these both.

I have endorsed the firewall thingy and some stuff.
But, to start my new load as a trainor next week. Oh, help me God, my students are far older than me.

Conversation topic in the team always was me. hehe pero di ako pikon. Just lettin' them what they have to say. As the youngest amongst the team,I say the best. :D

Time to move forward

2006-09-19T06:58:00.000+08:00

After countless restless nights, I think it's time to move on but for sure I will not forget. I'm coming back and start again from where we started. Watch my invisibility.... You'll think of it for sure.
Now, all my negative thougts are clear. No question about it. It just that I misunderstood things before.

Hehe, magulo ba?

Hmmm.

OK moving on... masaya ako ngayong araw na 'to hehe.
New look, new wave and new window to the future.
I'll let you know about these things soon.

I love you.... very much.

BCMSN BCRAN CIT success

2006-09-16T11:31:00.000+08:00

Oh yes, I did passed these exams. Having the title of CCNP.
Sorry guys, I never updated my blog since those review days.

These are tough but very interesting. I learned a whole new world of internet. This will be my life forever.

Next exam will be BGP + MPLS.
I planned CISSP before but it will be next year. Well at least I did very well in internet security like fortigate, sonicwall, check point..

They say they are the good hackers. But here I come, I will be the police to lock you out. Still, thanks for hacking in.

Perl, PHP, MySQL, unix... Thanks to these tools. It makes life easier.

My next-hop in the next 3 years will be CCIE. To be the internet expert.

You need to be sad to be happy again

2006-09-16T11:09:00.000+08:00

I'm so sad.

I learned a lot.... Thank you for sharing those moments.
Though we're not bound to be, I still remember those days.

I did my best but my best was not good enough.
If you can just give me a chance to start again... I will be ready to give you all my life and will make sure you'll be happy with me forever.

I pretended we can share each other's life 'til the end.
I never knew I am already committing mistakes when we share those moments.
But I learned, if you can just give the chance I will...

I lost you this time but for sure I can say, lesson learned.
If you just give me the chance, I'll give my best to complete you.

I'm so sad... I will be waiting for that chance. I will still say I love you.

When that day comes it's only the momment that I can say. I am happy again.

Passed BSCI

2005-11-11T21:01:00.000+08:00

hehe, just BSCI with 940/1000 rating... Thanks to sadikhov... I am now reviewing for the BCMSN exam for this december.

I am loosing faith!!!

2005-10-11T20:59:00.000+08:00

Guys,

I have been struggling to pass my BSCI exam. Lately, I am out of focus because of my career. Few weeks ago, I have been happy that companies started calling me for an interview. It turned out well in the first few weeks but unluckily, I have to pass these trials. I won't forget this career seeking experience. I know I am learning from it, but I don't want to waste to and wanted to start immediately for this networking field I love most.

I think I did the right decision of resigning from intel. I want the job that I love most.!!!

Wish me luck!!!

Review vs career!!!

2005-03-01T09:52:00.000+08:00

September

Review with John and Lea went well, Some buddy's joined also our group. I did my best for review in September, all my time. no TV, iwas guests, iwas any distractions. September is a full math, electronics and communications. even, Reviewing late at night.

October

Less Review, more relax while john and lea are in panic. Most of my buddies felt their heart pump beat faster. While me, more TV, more movie, and more food. I work in fixing my body clock, I sleep early, stay focus during review, and increase my alertness every after lunch, do stretching every 30 minutes. These helped me a lot during the board exam.

The intel exam....
I don't have much time to review for the board during this month. I also prepared for my board exam, even more time for this one. I was pressured because I need a lot of technical know how to get the job. But to my surprise, it was been easy. I went back and forth from manila to cavite for 1 month. Did my best with the help of Nolan and Bernard. almost 50 tried to get this job. Unfortunately, only 16 of us passed.

October is challenging to me, I don't have priorities: board exam or intel? huh

November

Nov 5, Sign contract papers from intel.
Nov 6-7 Board exam
Nov 8 Start of work

what a sked....

During The Board Exam

Excited, I dream of workin' in intel. Everyone is ready for the training. The workplace is great, it went far beyond my expectations. I like it. Unfortunately, I see the job OK but it is not my interest. But I was introduced to new people and new friends.

AFter a week, I pass the board exam, hehe :-). I can't celebrate because I am busy with my very first job.

I am happy because I won it both.

Goin' well!!!

2004-09-23T17:36:00.000+08:00

I have been slow in updating this blog. That's because my review habits have been doin' well. It's a sign that I have my momentum. Those motivations last month were just helpful as I expected. Distractions are minimized. A great help from college classmates john agustine, and lea are a great help in my review. We meet together during saturdays and sundays that resulted to endless reading and practice. Topics are discussed when one knows it. I think these friends of mine will contribute to my success someday.

I have unexpected calls from different companies but I show no interest to the job eventhough I wanted it. Also, I wanted calls from companies I like. All my concern and what God wants me to do for now is to prove something in the examination.

Guys, I will need more time to concentrate on my books. I hope you are enjoyin' reading. I am invitin' you to write comments to my blog entry.

I am invitin' those who are taking CNAP to email me if you are interested to get a reviewer on CCNA640-607 exam. I already scheduled my exam for CCNP composite exam on December 15, 2004. I will be taking up the last two exams maybe on february and march.

I will also be updating you when I pass these exams.

I Gained Enough Aura but

2004-08-06T06:24:00.000+08:00

I all have the motivations, determinations and love of God but still I don't have the power to drive myself for a kill. What is that great resistance that keeps me not doin' my review at its best?

1. Health Condition

2. Computer works

3. Music

4. Friends

5. Family

These are great distractions of mine. I've been experiencing mental problems like thinkin' others problem than mine. Love greatly influences my way of thinking. I've been thinking and helping others better than me.

Motivations:

1. Niño Payduan (friend/classmate) on the top 20 of Civil Engineering Board Exam last April 2004.

2. Bernardo Salazar now on the road to success with Intel Corporation as Layout Design Engineer.

3. Dexter Elemento now with ePLDT as network operations engineer.

4. Batchmates also aiming for top 1.

5. Great oppurtunity in Intel and PLDT.

Determinations:

1. Yeah, I aim high but I do not work well to get the prize.

Love of God:

1. God is giving me all the blessings he wanted me to have but what am I doin'? I am wasting most of it. I don't work for my own good.

Resistance:

1. Health Condition

a. I have to wake up very early in the morning and work-out physiclly.

b. Take vitamins and refresh with a soothing hot massage.

2. Computer Works

a. I receive tons of email a day. I reply to these messages at least 2 hours.

b. Update my profiles regularly.

c. Check my calendar events.

3. Music

a. I wanted to learn new ones that everybody likes.

b. i wanted to have my studio fix.

c. I want my own composed music.

4. Friends

a. They always visit me here and hang-out.

b. I invite them that's why they come.

c. I chat with them.

d. I meet them somewhere else.

e. They are eatin' my money allowance.

5. Family

a. They get angry when I did not do my responsibility. (It adds up my memory thinking)

b. I always chat with them. Email and IM.

c. I receive money from them.

d. They always ask me to go to the bank and send something to someone. (Money and time wasted)

These resistance is huge to hard to control and takes most of my time. Anyway, I still have enough time to contain this one. 3 hours a day for my review. Not bad but very bad. I dream of reading books every minute and busy all the time with my books.

2004-07-31T09:17:00.000+08:00

from left: bhunny, jongsky, serafin

puerto galera experience (worst experience or happy)?

2004-07-25T22:23:00.000+08:00

I stayed with Serafin at his office as I stated with my previous post while waiting for Bhunny. We should meet at exactly 1PM. While waiting for him, I introduced to serafin what blogspot is and he is happy about it. Unfortunately, Bhunny did not make it on time because he can't go in the foc center to get his belongings, He waited 3 hours and finally get those at 3PM. He finally arrived in PNU and we went to Buendia (Gil Puyat station LRT station). The bus left manila at 4PM and arrived at batangas pier at 7PM. On the way to batangas Pier, we are waching a movie "The sixth man". Funny it is because it is a game of basketball and in the championship game, the last ball shot that would win the team as it is getting near the basket, the movie stopped because we already arrived in pier. Haha, we didn't see the ball went to basket. We rushed to the port, unfortunately, the last trip is 5PM. So we wen't back to the bus terminal and have our dinner.

the night after the trip

So we didn't make it to puerto as planned. The first batch are already having fun while drinking with foreigners. So we tought of drinking also. So we went to the videoke bar "eurasian bar w/ live band of 7 girls". We limited ourselves to have 3 bottles of lite and one sisig because the plan is we should be back to pier at 5AM. We stayed in a motel "Pension House Avenue", 300 for an airconditioned room and 220 for a room with an electric fan and they gave these two rooms for us that cost us 500 pesos, a ride away with tricycle or a jeepney 10 pesos each (jeepney ride is always cheaper). And we wen't to pier early morning, ate breakfast, and bought ticket P140 each (130 for ticket and 10 for boarding pass). The first trip is 7:15AM. The boat is late of 15 minutes so we left port at 7:30AM. We arrived in puerto gallera at 8:30AM. Many tricycles are waiting to get passengers (for sure they cost 20Pesos each for a ride). The destination is "Aninuhan Beach Resort" and we are told to have a walk of 2 minutes to get to the highway and get a jeepney ride that will only cost us at P10 each. We waited about 10minutes long and finally decided to get a tricycle ride. We managed to talk with the driver and finally can get us to our destination with P15 each for a ride. We are already excited to meet the first batch. There is only one billboard and narrow stairs going to the beach.

At the beach

Upon arriving I immediately asked for a coffee worth P20. Food and drinks here cost twice as much as the regular price. I greeted each one I knew and not. I enjoyed the swimming for 3 hours, picture taking. We also have a little conversation concercing about the future activities.

We are 20 guys who are enjoying the beach. The center attraction is called the white beach and we are not in that place, but 5 minutes walk at seaside. Many are swimmin' there so the group decided with a more private place. After this enjoyment, at lunch, we wen't to the whitebeach and divided ourselves into three for different restaurants. We ordered 4 omelettes 2 rice for each one. Our group is of 5 but pao mistakenly ordered only 4. So we shared these food for 5. Hehe. The food is also great, we waited about 15 minutes for the preparation of food. We don't have that much time to wait for lunch beacause we will leave the beach at 1:30PM and the minimum time for most of the food here to get prepared is 40 minutes. A very quick lunch at white beach and went back to the aninuhan beach. the jeepney is already waiting for us to get us to the port. Of course I did not forget to get a souvenir of 10 pieces of t-shirst that cost 100 each and bracelets. I promised to my friends in manila that I will get them a souvenir.

The return

We left puerto galera at 2:PM with the boat full of passengers, most of us occupied the tail part of the boat. Picture taking is still hot. We arrived finally at batangas pier at 3PM, immediately we went to the parking area where the first batch left their car that cost them 500 pesos for the three cars. The two cars first went home and ruben with his car went to their home in batangas. 10 people with the revo and 10 with the l300. We are all tired and have only little conversation with the 2 hours trip going back to manila.

At home, I am already super tired still, I have my visitors in my room coming from hongkong and will leave manila to go to the province at 10PM. So I waited for them to begone in my room so that I can fully rest. At least they left me with a boxer shirt. They left with a smile and I am happy that I have seen my cousin from hongkong with her family. I was also introduced to their 13 yr old girl and 3 yr old boy. They are funny and bravo. Their boy is like my youngest brother attitude.

Alas I am tired and happy and super exhausted.

Worst?

The second batch of 3 people including me didn't make it the first day that we have only 4 hours to enjoy puerto galera.

Happy?

I am happy because I enjoyed the beach and bonded with old friends of mine.

Sad?

This is my last out of the town trip. I have to concentrate on my studies. I will do the will of God.

A long way to puerto g

2004-07-24T12:49:00.000+08:00

Unfortunately, I didn't make to wake up early so that I can go to sta mesa and catch up with the car. Yesterday until 2 AM, I helped to encode the project of this friend and finished it very late. I went to bed after the encoding, after an hour, visitors from province arrived so again, I am disturbed. I can't sleep until 4am. Miserably, I didn't wake up even with my alarm armed.

After this dream of getting to mindoro, Alas, it is finally gone and burned. I try to figure it out, I lost hope. God may not be willing that I will be there with burdens behind me. So I loose control of me.

Thinking of it very often, I finally achieved peace in mind. I called up Mike, he is with Ruben's car, and they are already on their way to pier. Uh oh, fortunately, Ruben told that Serafin and Bhunny will come later after lunch, so I called them up immediately.
I even disturbed Serafin in his sleep early at 7 AM. Hehe, luckily, I am here with Serafin's office at PNU and waiting for Bhunny. I pray that Bhunny would come because he is the only one who knew among us how to get to puerto.

To tell you more after puerto!!!!

To Puerto Galera

2004-07-24T08:49:00.000+08:00

all right, i'll tell you about how this opposes my review schedule. I am not actually prepared to go to mindoro. First, I have my review during saturdays and sundays and there are only 4 saturdays/sundays left for the review. The next will be a refresher course starting on september. Second, I have two incoming visitors exactly same date to go to puerto. Third, I can't get away from my room.

But, I need to unwind and make a good communion to my old friends. That's why I need to go to Puerto Galera. I guess this will free me from mental stresses that I suffer everynight which causes me not to sleep at night. It's been long time that I haven't seen Jesus in others. I longed to free myself with stress physically and mentally.

I have updates in music, my friends living with me in the apartment are very good in music. They like singing and I play along with them. With this, I can think of others other than books. I hope I can attain my goals in review the soonest possible. But for now, I am thinking of loving my visitors. I really hate these guys even they are with my own blood. I don't want to say something about them.

After entertaining these visitors, I hope next monday that I can resume my review session in my own.

I will still update you with my review status on my next posts.

Also, I am excited to see puerto galera and I am expecting a very good experience there.

Much better now

2004-07-20T14:11:00.000+08:00

I am having my review daily routine much better than the the last two weeks. I only have this little problem of dizziness. I already have controlled this mental stress of mine. Simply, all is getting well as planned. From 100 question mastered everyweek to 100 questions everyday is fare enough. I will double this next week. And soon, everybody will be shock that I am at the top of anybody else who will take the exam.
I already learned how to impress guests of mine. At least I receive 3 guests a week and sleep in my room. At first, I get angry because I cannot cope up with my studies. But then, of course, I cannot just push my guests away my house. So it's better to learn to study while you have guests. These are big distractions I encouter everyday, but that's how friends work. I need to learn something so that I will be successful in my studies. Huh, did you get what I mean? Just ride on ok!!! you're just reading my blog. tsktsk...

For this week, my average review time is 4 hours and is not enought to conquer every review book. I still need more change in me like discipline, food and of course sleep.

I am afraid when there are too many of me, I am better when I am alone, and I am at my best when i am with you!!!

Guests make me sick!!!

2004-07-14T23:32:00.000+08:00

With this very hard schedule and tough goals to make my review better, I still receiving friends, and cousins, and etc as guests. I don't know what to do but I always accept them because I am hospitable. I use to mingle with them but inside my mind, I ask myself how to get rid of them. Do I need to get rid of them or ride with the present situation and just do what I need to do? What???? I have been mentally disturbed this days so I cannot go on with this topic. I will share with you pieces of these on my next posts. I have to be ready early tomorrow to enroll for a new review class.

The Start of a Serious Review

2004-07-12T11:08:00.000+08:00

The ECE Board exam is just 4 months away. I confess that I did not give my very best to read my books for the previous 3 months. And I started thinking, what is it that I want?

The 3 worst months of my life.

Worst because I always end up sleeping in my bed, watching TV shows (anime), news, etc... "Barkadas come with me in my room, let's celebrate sometime! because we haven't seen for a long time". These guys of course don't come at the same time, each of them come at least once a month to talk with me. But there are so many of them. It's just like hosting one kada in one day, until another month has gone. So, I end up tired every day and done nothing for my review. Very sad I feel, because I feel like I am eaten by my newly created world. Aha, I tried putting away my barkada, but that's not easy, I tried, hey dude! why not come on december. I really have hard time for my review. (seems easy). They reply: oh you, don't you have fun with me anymore, let's have more drinks and play pool... I tried this many times but still!!!

This July, I will start my full time review, so there is no more extra-curricular activities. I will make schedule of my daily routine so that I can finish at least one book in one week. Unfortunately, many of my friends knew me as a computer expert that's why they call me "master jongsky", they handed over me their job as a computer technician and left me work that they cannot do. Simply, they left one CPU and one printer to fix, OWww, this will ruin my july review. I receive this kind of job at least once a week and cannot get off in me.

I still have distraction in the internet, I have these different instant messengers and communicate to people I knew, and at least I have a message every hour from different friends. Also, with this powerful internet connection of mine, DSL, keeps me busy working in my computer because I pay for the service. So I planned to unsubscribe to this DSL plan and use only the dial-up connection. This will be enough to check my email at least once a day. And I can stop using these instant messengers.

My statements in previous paragraphs explains slow change to what I wanted to. I want to attain full time review (4 hours in the morning, 4 hours in the afternoon and 4 hours in the evening). Alas, in this case, I can be at the toplist of the board exam.

Ahem, to all those who want to give help, mentally and emotionally, please feel free to reply with this post. I will be checking them at least once a day to get in touched with you. Thanks...

pagod na sa kakainternet!!!!

2004-07-10T23:56:00.000+08:00

puyat na ako gabigabi dahil sa internet. kaya naman ayaw ko ng mag-internet. istorbo kasi sa pag-rereview ko sa palapit ng board exam. diko maiwasan mag-internet kaya ngayong linggo ay ipapadiskonek ko na sa pldt ang dsl ko. mag dial-up na lang ako para tipid at tatamarin akong mag-internet.
Sa mga tinutulungan ko na maayos ang kanilang computer sa pamamagitan ng yahoo, chikka at msn, Pasensiya po muna at kailangan kong mag-aral. makakaasa kayong matutulungan ko kayo pagkatapos ng board exam. Sana ay nauunawaan ninyo.
Sa mga tumatawag sa akin para maayos ang kanilang computer, simula po ngayon ay sa pamamagitan na lamang po ng text. Kung lubhang sira ang inyong computer ay itapon na lamang yan at bumili ng bago. Kung virus lang naman ang problema niyan ay kailangan po kayong magpunta ng ospital at ipa x-ray niyo yan at baka kumakalat na yan at inuubus na ng virus. (hehe)
Tuloy parin ang saya at ligaya pag natapos na ang exam, at maririnig niyo na rin pagkatapos ng exam ko ang mga ginagawa ko palang na tugtog.
Sa mga gumagamit ng server:4662, papatayin ko muna at magpapahinga naman ang PC ko.
Sa susunod pagagandahin ko itong server at magbubukas ako ng dalawa pang port para sa inyo. Down din po ngayon ang webServer kaya hindi niyo muna mabubuksan ang website.

Para sa mga naaawa sa akin ay pwede kayong bumisita di2 sa bahay at magbigay ng tulong pinansiyal para sa pagpapalaki at pagpapalupit ng ating network. Sa ngayon ay 3 pa lamang ang kusang loob na tumutulong at nakikipagpuyatan mamentain lamang itong server.

Kung gus2 mo namang makipag-inuman, manlibre ka at dalhin mo ang buong barkada sa labas.

Tsktsk, sige, hanggang di2 na lang. ito blogpost na lang ang gagamitin ko para makipag-ugnayan sa inyong lahat.
