Thoughts of Going Home

It's my 4th week here in Legazpi, Albay. It's beautiful here in Legazpi. Garbage, traffic, smog and trash is very minimal compared to the nightmare at Metro Manila. And oh, I still get awed by the majestic sight of Mayon Volcano everytime i get a glimpse of her. I love the dishes here: the spicy Bicol express and the luscious pinangat. I regret that i haven't learned much of the Bicol language. Well my job here is finished and i'm thinking of going home to Metro Manila tonight. I want to stay here for a couple of weeks more but i have some other things to attend to at Metro Manila.

We did the automation of a regional pawnshop company here, using open-source technologies. The project is J2EE-based, with JBoss as the middle-tier and PostgreSQL as the backend database. The frontend is a web-based thin client interfade. We used Struts as the MVC framework for the J2EE and used JasperReports for printing PDF reports. And Suse Linux for the operating system. We will be back again here next week to deploy the system to the 50 branches of the pawnshop company all around here in Bicol. And also to finish the remaining JasperReports operations.

Oh I remember, today is the 26th birthday of Ken, my ex-girlfriend. I missed her. Actually I decided to go here in Legazpi to forget about her when she broke up with me. But then I still can't forget her.

chemically-altered existence

too sleepy during the day, i take cups of strong black coffee to keep me awake.
but then i can't sleep at night. so i take bottles of strong beer to knock me off.
tsk...

this has been going on for about a month...

blogging around a little bit...

finally i started to blog. been wanting to ever since but only just now got the nerve to do it. so what will this be? i don't know but i think once the ball is setup, it will keep on rolling.

i don't know how to write. i don't know what to write.
