Kuya is getting married this December. I just came from a highschool friend's bridal shower. Two out of three of my barkada who were there (except for the bride) has a ring on their, obviously, ring finger. Yes, it seems like everyone is getting hitched.
Before it was Debuts. Now it is bridal showers and weddings. Is this sign of age? Is it about time to get involved? But if you did not know how old I am right now, how old do you think I am?
Come to think of it, I seem like a teenager or someone in her early 20s. Is this a good or a bad thing? I enjoy life, but I guess there is more to life than what I have made out of it. Has time pass me by or have I been living a dead life?
Cheers to their new start, and cheers to my new beginning.

Transparency
How difficult is it to disseminate information? We are within the same vicinity and you still cannot find it within yourself to approach me and to talk to me personally. With the existence of technology, you have options. You can either email or text me. I wondered how come you did not utilize any of these resources properly. What stopped you?
Transparency is one of the foundations of a good organization. When everything is laid out in the open, questions are minimized and the matter is easier to understand. So why hide information? Why did you wait for me to act upon the situation before you reacted? Thus, lack of communication was showcased. How come you did not have the decency to discuss the matter?
All I ask is some transparency. Isn’t it my right to know? Why can’t you just be a little bit more honest and open? What happened is obvious. You do not have the wares of a great or even a good manager. You only had the guts to give a slight preview of the current situation so you will have someone to blame. Tell me now if my understanding is incorrect. But you are full of deceit and I don’t like it.

Terminated
I got in work and did my routine. I turned on my machine and opened the web browsers to VPN, Client’s email, testing tool and test scripts repository after accessing the social networking sites. Surprisingly, my VPN account was disabled, I cannot access my Client’s email and cannot login the testing tool and test scripts repository. I tried again and entered my passwords with caution. Yet, I still got the same results.
So, I emailed our Client using my other email and reported my concern. After a couple of minutes my oh so responsible Madam replied and said:
XX disabled your accounts today, let's discuss this when I come in.
My instinct was correct. The client decided to terminate the project abruptly due to attrition and quality of work. Attrition is acceptable, but quality of work? That was kind a low blow. Whenever I talked to my counterparts they always had positive feedback.
I was like… OKAY. What pissed me off was she did not have the decency to inform me before hand. She had to wait for my email instead of contacting me beforehand? It only showed the lack of communication. I bet the second reason was due to bad management.
Good bye project. I’m free! :)

M&M 2010
The whole league was a truly challenging experience. It was the venue where the ladies can shine for there were no men in sight. There were no athletic guys to count on. Each one was forced to step up and work on my so-called game. We only had each other.
I merged with a fairly new team. Practice was not held weekly. If we were lucky enough to have training we were not complete. There were some teammates who I only saw during game day. It was stressful.
How do you expect to perform well if there was no right preparation? How do you work as a team if there was no communication? How do you know what to do if it something is not explained in detail?
It was not smooth sailing. There was no synergy. Personalities clashed. Conflicts aroused. Individualities were provoked. It was that bad that there came a point that I missed my original team and sadly I wanted the league to be over. But, I did not give up. I kept fighting the battle. And I am happy as each game progressed we started to work as a so-called team.
Despite all the adversities M&M was one for the books. I was given the chance to exercise my patience and push myself to my limits. All in all, I learned a lot. We may not have gotten a W but I gained experiences that can make me a better Ultimate player.
