information overload
Posted by shane | Filed under All About Life, Careers, Technology
it’s been a while. how long has it been?
more than a month? ahh yes, more than a month again with no updates.
why? (thinking of another ally by) well, i’ve been busy. it has been more than a month since i started at my new job and i never really had the chance to write a post. yup. even though i’m in front of a computer for about not less than 40 hours a week, i didn’t had the chance to start a new post, not even a draft. a very hectic schedule, it is.
it’s a new environment, so i needed to catch up with how things work in my new company. in my first week, i started off with drupal. i had a crash course on how drupal works, basic content management, the drupal structure, it’s themes and many more. it’s a good thing that i’m already used to using wordpress. they are somewhat similar. but still, since the approach in making the site is way different, i did have a hard time.
the first few weeks was really focused on drupal, and some minor systems administration tasks that needs to be done in between tasks in drupal. i also had some taste of c# last week, jumping right into intermediate to complex programming, which i had no real experience yet. but it was fun. and looks like this following week, i will again be back in the coding domain, c# still.

don’t say goodbye, say goodnight

it’s your last week on your current job. what would you feel?
mixed emotions? part of you still wants to stay, and another part of you feels it’s time to leave? that’s what i’m feeling right now. that’s what my other teammate also said during his last days with the team.
it’s never really easy to say goodbye. especially to those you’ve come to know for more than a year, to those you’ve considered ‘tropa/barkada‘, to those whom you can share fun and at the same time problems with, to those you’ve considered as part of your extended family.
this team, the grad team especially the americas (night shift), is to be considered as my extended family here in manila. i may have some relatives here, distant relatives perhaps, but i’ve never really been with them. all i had last june 2007, when i first came to manila was my old man and my godparents who live several floors above us.
but what’s done is done. i have to leave. there’s no turning back. all i hope is that my colleagues, my teammates would also treasure the moments they shared with me ‘coz i do. i’ll definitely miss the fun, the laughter, the sessions we call ‘1 bottle’, which eventually leads to 2 or more. ;)
anyway, this just crossed my mind but guys, what do think about ‘despedida‘ celebrations? who should be the one to shoulder the expenses?
reboot

yet another reboot, just in time before my career shift.
yes, you heard it right. it’s not just a transfer to another team, but i’ll be leaving my current employer. i’ve already tendered my resignation last december and it’ll be effective next week. you may ask why, why leave now amidst the crisis in our country and around the world?
experience. i feel i’m not growing anymore. i’m still learning new things but i feel like i need something more concrete. i’ve already turned away from what i had finished in college, and been pulled into the world of information technology, the internet. way back in college, my friends would always ask me why i didn’t choose to be under the computer science department since they find me good at computer stuff. and now, i’m also asking myself the same question. but i have no regrets. i learned a lot from my course and it has broadened my knowledge.
the new work will be a challenge. a great one. my job description says i’ll be a developer, and i’ve no strong background in programming languages unlike those people who studied a language since their first day in college. i was able to learn them little by little through self study and that’s what i’m counting on for this new challenge. it will be to test my capacity to learn at a high pace.
another year has passed. 2008 was not a blogging year for me, but i hope 2009 will be.
Hello world!
