PRAYER RALLY
To all my blog visitors,
I have a wonderful girl friend. One of the smartest, hard-working, honest and wacky I have known in my life. She's funny and giving and so positive and she will not let any rainy day ruin her spirits.
She has been recently diagnosed with stage 2 rectal cancer have undergone the first round of chemo. Thank God, the cancer cells have not yet spread. But she's undergoing another chemo soon.
This wonderful woman friend of mine is showing me that life is great in spite of everything and that we are given crosses which we can carry. Her cross is cancer. She's graceously carrying it and I salute her for that. She's requesting for prayers for her pal who is in a more advanced cancer stage.
Please pray for Ma. Teresa Perez-Delavin and her friend and all those who are challenged with illness. This is a personal email she sent me which I just can't keep for my eyes alone. I hope we can all be inspired by her spirit.

nweiz, i was sick pa since sept 2004. dami akong napuntahang doctors and have undergone lots of medications pero di pa din mawala yung LBM ko. i was diagnosed with stage 2 rectal cancer nung May na lang. although meron na akong mga results that are pointing to that diagnosis as of january pa lang, meron akong doubts kaya di pa rin talaga naayos until May. I have undergone a surgery last May 31, para tanggalin yung tumor sa akin rectal area. Ito katatapos lang ng first cycle of chemo ko last Saturday. 6 days ako naconfine kasi 24 hours yung gamot na nakatusok sa akin. 2nd cycle will start sa Aug 15. magandang pamasko sa amin ito if magtuloy tuloy yung gamutan ko. dami din kasing tests at checkups, monitor nila yung body ko kung kakayanin yung mga chemo at radiation sessions. depende sa katawan ko at sana lagi akong clear para hindi maputol yung cycle. ang bait bait ni Lord dahil walang organs na nadamay at walang kumalat na cancer cells as of now.
I know makakayanan namin ito with God's help. Nalagpasan nga namin yung surgery kahit walang wala na kaming pambayad, daming blessings na binigay si Lord. We trust in Him na He will provide our needs. Please pray na din for me as well, na makayanan namin yung continous gamutan, kasi kapag naputol ulit uli ng cycle :( Alam ko lilipas din ito, malalagpasan din namin yung current situation.
Ingats ka dyan! Thank you for the prayers!
God bless,
tere

Committed
I am about to mess up my long-awaited summer vacation. I just found out that my work schedule demands me to have several critical meetings at exactly within my vacation week. Tough luck huh?! I guess it would still be an understatement to say that I don't have the heart to do what I do anymore...'coz I'm still totally committed.
Had a long and fruitful brainstorming and project planning sessions with my colleagues. It really does feel great to be in the company of great-minded people. OK, I think I'm gonna have to admit that I'm probably a geik as well. Birds of the same feather flock together, eh?!
Can't say enough of Mike and Kang, they're two of the best of hosts! And Vincent the most gracious financier hahahaha. It's interesting to note that we've talked all night about Asian Telenovelas! You bet! The likes of F4, Winter Sonata and the tragedy of Korean telenovelas hehehehe. To think that I'm actually talking to brainy accomplished young men, whoa~

Crazy Day At The Airport
I thought I was on a well-planned, well-prepared trip this time. I've packed 1 week in advance, I've settled all my bills and I was pretty much on an early-Monday morning cruise towards Narita. Or so I thought.
First, I forgot my pens and my task-its at the office. Then I couldn't find my credit card. And then as I was having breakfast, one of my users emailed me asking for a de-briefing on the workshop! I managed to negotiate a de-briefing over Tuesday dinner. I finally remembered that I put away my credit card together with some IDs and at 11:45 I was off to the office to pick-up my precious task-its. So I was good! Or so I thought again. Just before I entered the subway I remember that there's something missing. I totally forgot all about my Project Plan! My life?! So, I went back home to pick it up under a very sunny 33 degrees noon! And I actually forgot to put on my sunscreen today, wahhh?!!!!
I finally got to the bus station that would take me to the airport and to my horror, there's a lot of people in there! Oh my Lord I'm screwed! I waited for around 10 more minutes and then finally boarded the bus. It was heavy traffic! I am never gonna make it?! 'Dear Lord, dear Lord please help me make it?!' I was praying really hard. There's really no excuse for being late.
I got to the airport a little less than 2 hours before the flight and I thought ok, I'm good I'm good. I even asked NW crew if I was good, she said yes. And when I was checking into the counter, the crew said, oh, we've closed already. I was so surprised! But she was so kind to let me run for it like hell?! I bypassed the long lines and everything just felt so bizarre and then finally I gave out a huge sigh of relief when we got into the gate and they were boarding the last passengers. It was a crazy crazy day indeed!
NW was not so bad at all but even though I had my usual serving of alcohol I couldn't sleep this time. I've watched all available movies on board and by the time I arrived at SFO I didn't have my pick-up service. Hmm....But looking at the bright side, Sunnyvale Pick-up service boss Helen is fast becoming a pal?! hahahaha. She's kind enough to have me pick up even though there's no confirmation. When I finally reached the hotel, I slept the whole day away.

I've closed & released AC for 594, that's great! Small feat but would be enough to motivate my lately-lazy uncooperative bones!
***
I got approval for JP Query insourcing. Need to work on SRF approval while I'm on Biz T. Also need to finalize my UAT Plan for the mail flag. Have to remind myself to do the UAT 1st thing upon my return.
***
I made this promise to HB that I will solely be responsible for my personal dealings now that Yukiko is not around anymore. But after two hours of plead and 'pangungulit' he finally gave in and agreed to take care of my financial dealings for a month while I open my account. He's right, I should learn to manage my own life and I couldn't rely on him forever. What if he won't be around to do that anymore for me? I tell you, he's a real tough nut to crack! But I don't believe it, until now he still can't figure out that I can understand Japanese well.
No wonder, he's never figured out the less obvious things.
***
CRM is becoming so complicated and difficult to do. Not that it seems undoable but all the human factors are adding up which makes this project pretty much unpredictable.
***
I have made a good friend out of Yukiko. Somehow, we found a common bond. Yes, she's left the office but we promised to have lunch and dinner and badminton together when I return.
***
I have tennis games when I come back. This should be a good substitute for badminton not to mention a chance to get my mind off work.
***
Was touched by Oggie's latest blog entry. Am glad that in my own way, I've reminded him that we should be like children in front of God. It doesn't matter what kind of relationship we have with Him, for as long as we have Him in our life, it would be sufficient.
