wheeew...

salamat!!! i finally passed an initial draft of my design to our BA's. I was able to finish the document in just two days. Normally it would take such a design at least a week or two to finish, but since we were given a tight deadline, i was forced to finish it in less than a week, from reviewing the requirements and making the design documents. But it doesn't end there, because the initial draft is considered only as 75% complete. After the review, i expect several changes still, but it won't be as demanding as with the passing of the initial draft. So now, i have time to relax a bit., though i'm still working on the design document.

This gave me the time to post a new entry here. The holy week has just passed, but somehow i didn't feel it. Unlike the previous years, holy week has lost some, if not most of its solemnity. At least for me. Add to it the fact that i was alone at home during the week. Usually my family prays together on Good Friday. But not this year. Because my family's on vacation. So, left by myself at home, i didn't observe that usual practice this year. i didn't even go to church on sunday for the easter mass. bad bad me. hehehehehe.

home alone, in a graveyard, missing you

graveyard shift..

so here i am... wide awake when everyone else is fast asleep...
i've been in this shift before so i'm not new to this. but there's something new. i'm missing someone i used to be with everyday. now, we're on different shift, so we'll hardly see each other for the week. it's quite sad. and the worst is, this is just the first day. *sigh*
i'm not yet busy right now. i don't have any documents yet that i can use to start with my design. so i'm just here blogging at the moment to kill some time. i'll be in a conference call later, in about half an hour. there i'll have a chance to ask for any documents i'd be needing for my design.
i just hope i can get hold of those documents as soon as possible, so that i can start my design. my deadline is 5 days from now so i have to start working. but, i can't, even if i wanted to. *sigh*

alone at home

currently in night shift... and currently alone at home... yup... everyone in our house is out, except for me... my sister's gone for a vacation. so is my dad and mom. mom and dad will be out for the week. my sister's on the way home, but she'll follow my mom and dad on wednesday. if i wasn't in a tight deadline, i would have joined them, but, unfortunately for me, i'll be spending the holy week here at the office, and i'll be up at night and asleep during the day. talk about sacrifices... *sigh*

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

missing her

speaking of sacrifices... *sigh* being in night shift means i have to work on a different schedule with my honey... *sigh* and that means we'll hardly see each other for a week... *sigh* sad *sigh* i miss my honey... *sigh*

work shift change, a busted finger, and a rainy summer

beating the deadline
Ok, so we were given a bunch of work to do, given last wednesday to us. We have to work on designing interface programs for a module of our software product. Our primary deliverable for this are the design documents. However, there are minimal support documents for us to accomplish this task. Communications are on-going to allow us to get hold of important documents we need in order to work on the design specs we need to work on. The catch is, our deadline is next week, Mar. 25, Good Friday.
We have one week to finish the design documents. One week, the whole holy week. What's bad about this is that, we still haven't have any support docs until now. So in light of this, we've readied ourselves for some overtime work, probably starting tomorrow, saturday. And, since our customer is US-based, our lead has decided to change our workshift for the whole of next week. From 8am-5pm work schedule, we'll change to 8pm-5am shift. This was done for us to have a concurrent work shift with our BAs from the US.
Night shift means being nocturnal again. This is not my first time to be assigned to night shift. But, errr, one thing i hate when in night shift is the lack of social life. Hehehehehe. Just imagine, your wide awake when everyone else is fast asleep, and you're deep in slumber when everyone else is busy going about the routines of everyday life. Oh well, at least its just for a week.
I'll get over this. But i'll surely miss my girl. We won't see each other much during my night shift sched. Sad. :-(

bend, finger, bend!!
We had a basketball game last night. It was a good game (of course it's good! we won! and i scored!). It was our fifth game of the season, and so far so good for us. Currently, we stand at 4-1, which is good enough to be at the top of the standings. Our game last night was actually the best game we've had out of the 5 games we've played. Everything seemed to go our way last night, so cheers to our 4th win!
Too bad for my ring finger (on my right hand). He got busted (errr... okay... my term is exaggerated). I only played a few minutes, scored only two points and had a couple of rebounds and assists. Of those few minutes, i still got my finger jammed by the ball. So now, i have difficulty moving it. It won't bend as i command it. I can't clench my fist. And it's difficult for me to write, type, and even brush my teeth.
Oh, well. It's part of the game. I still am lucky its only my finger that got sprained. It would have sucked if my arm or my leg/ankle was the one busted.
Get well soon to you, my ring finger. :-P

rain on a summer anyone?
Errr... it's supposed to be summer already. So why is it raining now. Oh, okay, a storm, right. But isn't it odd? And another thing that got me thinking is that, as i remember, it rained during the holy week the past few years. Not sure if i'm right, but that's how i remember it.
The rain is good by the way. It takes out some of the heat of the summer. But, !@#!%#!#, i still sweat a lot even if i'm not moving a muscle. It really is summer. Even the rain is not enough to cool the weather. So it'll still be hot outside. And i'll still sweat alot even if stand still. And is still just the start of summer.
#$@!@$%, bring on the rain!!! :-P
