Big Plans

Big plans for me this year… well it’s big enough for me ^^.

First off, I will be pushing through with my annulment for my marriage this year. After a certain someone *wink* *wink* successfully completes his annulment papers this coming June or a bit later, I will be borrowing his attorney to run the same errands for me. The downside is, it’s a bit costly. Well, if stupid ex-wife will not let me push through with a previously planned heart operation for my son, then I’ll have the money for the annulment.

Second, I will begin a new life today. Well a life with a diet so to speak ^^. I will be trying out a very challenging diet to counter this ever growing body fats of mine! Hopefully it will produce results in a short period of time otherwise I’ll end up with a low morale like my other previous attempts. Anyway I feel positive that I can do away with this one. All that I need is will power! And now that I have already mentioned it in this blog, I guess this will force me to try hard to succeed, or else everyone will know I failed!

Last is, I am planning to buy a new car this coming Christmas. I know it’s still too far away Christmas but it never hurts to plan especially for big purchases like this one. I am still trying to select the right car model for me, although I do have my eyes already fixed on a few; Mazda 3, Honda Civic 1.8 2007, or Toyota Vios. The Honda Civic is currently my favorite due to its nice interior and good balance of power and features. But I still can’t deny the beauty of Mazda 3 that is affordable enough and the fuel economy of Toyota Vios.

There you go. Three big plans for today, mid of the year, and at the end of the year ^^.

Brip Ni!

Well that is what a kid around my home town used to call her, Britney Spears I mean. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a fan or of any sort near that. I just came accross this CNN news and would like to share it to everyone. Britney Spears is bald!!! Is this one of her “I am sexy” tactics or has she just completely gone overboard? Well it could be simply just an expression of oneself ^^. Read more about it here http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/02/17/britney.bald.ap/index.html

Daily Walk

This is a shot from the overpass where I walk everyday. After going down the pass, I still have to walk along the stretch of the left lane until the first billboard. There I can ride a pedicab bound to the FX terminal going to Ortigas where my work is. A little exercise everday that I do… not that I have another choice….

Vincent is His Name

The picture was taken around the last quarter of 2004. It was my son’s first time on a pool. I remember him so happy back then. He was always running and laughing. All that day, all I did was take pictures of him. I can almost hear his laugh ’till now… Anyway for those of you wondering (many of you have already been asking) if I already have my son back, no, her mom didn’t return my son to me. I’m thinking of processing my anullment this year so that the custody can be decided by the court. Life. My life.

Posting From The Unknown

Well actually I’m posting from my mobile. I recently discovered this free service called shozu that lets you upload vids and pics from ur mobile using gprs. This will give me the opportunity to blog while travelling thus maximizing my time. Try it yourself at www.shozu.com!

Early Hurdles

Life wouldn’t be life without complications and year 2007 is definitely not an exception.

My son haven’t returned yet to his so called “vacation” at his mother’s house and the school classes has already started.  The reason behind is that my son don’t want to go back here anymore.  In my opinion, his mother has already influenced him… as she had done on the past so called “vacations”.  Anyway, I talked to my ex-wife and told her to bring my son here even if he doesn’t like to because its going to affect his studies.  Her reply was, “I can’t.  Not until you have convinced your son.  I don’t want to see him crying when I take him to you.”  Now that is a very stupid answer!  Everybody knows that education is very important and she is jeopardizing my son’s education just because she doesn’t want to see him cry?!  Every child cries.  I don’t know one who don’t.

Now the next question is what should I do?  I can’t convince my son and her mother.   I can opt to travel all the way to Bicol and convince my son face-to-face or just grab him back if I can’t convince him.  Or I can just hope that I can put some sense to her mother’s brain…

In any case, this is a huge problem for me and for my son’s future and this will happen from now on until my son is old enough to think logically for himself.

Life.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

I just came back from a father-side annual family christmas reunion.  As always it was nice seeing my cousins, titos (uncle) and titas (auntie) again.  Man do time pass by so quickly!  The next generation is already getting older!

Anyway I have to cut this to a very short post since I am already tired and sleepy ^^.  Again, Merry Christmas!!!

Leaving for the Holidays

I am currently packing stuffs right now. My son is leaving for the holidays to be with his mom. In a matter of hours they (his mom) will be arriving here to pick him up and take him to Bicol. I won’t be seeing him until next year when classes resumes.

My son is still sleeping here at my side. He was actually already asleep when I got home last night and now I have to go early for a client meeting. I wanted to tell him personally that I’ll miss him and to take care but I guess I can’t. So I just whispered it in his ears, hopefully he’ll dream about it.

I wish next year I’ll have more time with him unlike this year where almost all my time were devoted to work. I want to make him feel how important he is to me and I want him to remember me as a good father even long after when I am gone already has his own family.

I love you son. Take care and have a pleasant trip/vacation.

Win Some, Lose Some

It’s been a while since I blogged.  Maybe because I was just busy or maybe I jsut temporarily forgot that I have a blog to maintain ^^.

“So ano na ba ang bago kay Romano?”, you might ask.  Well to answer simply, merong bago and meron din nawala.  First of all, I now have a girlfriend.  Yup!  You read that right ^^.  She is no other than Loujane Anne, my officemate.  A simple yet sweet lady.  So ano naman kaya ang nawala?  Walang iba kundi ang my ever beloved PDA!  I lost it on the day I got a girlfriend!!!  Well sabi nga nila, you can’t always have it all.

In any case I’m still happy ^^.  I hope this time everything turns out right.  Honestly, it’s still early to tell so all I can do is hope.

I just read Glenn’s blog kaya lang I closed the window without saving his address so Glenn, I’ll just add you later in my blogroll ok?

Developer’s Itch

The programmer in me is trying to surface again. It is so strong that I even find myself wanting to program while working on a project plan. In fact, I have been lately finding myself emerged in readings tackling Struts 2, Java Server Faces, iBatis, and Maven 2. Somehow, i want to be a developer again. Not that I don’t want to manage projects; in fact I am enjoying my job as a project manager. It’s just that, seeing my developers emerged on their work, coding their time away makes me want to join the plunge. I want to create an application! Maybe I’ll think of a tool that I can use to manage my projects and develop it in my free time — that is if I am entitled to a “free time” ^^.

On another note, the software development methodology that I have chosen for my project isn’t working at all. Feature Driven Development (FDD) is just too cumbersome. I need to find another approach that will fit my project. Oh well, back to the bat cave!
