The day that I've been waiting for finally came. I'm so happy I'm no longer an office plebeian. My contract is already given to me and so as the salary I deserved. I took the opportunity to initiate a feeding program in the office (joke) to somehow give back a little something in exchange to their kindness during my impecunious days.
Aside from the fact that i could already buy the stuff that I've always wanted. It is only now that i could really say that helping the household. This is really a blessing especially of the fact that my mother is starting to plan to retire na from office by the end of the year. And with that I am thankful. Too bad right now i have no one to celebrate it. (It's ok Dennis, mas importante ang work)
But not everything is silver lining. I know to my self that starting today, especially this February, all eyes are on me and my team, watching our every move. And no better way to surpass the cloud but to work even harder as before.
It's been 3 months since I've been in this verbal set-up but starting today, as i sign the contact, everything will now turn black and white ergo being responsible for my actions which I'm not a fan of. It is only now, while I'm writing this blog that I've realized that being passionate and being responsible could be even but never equal. True, i tend to be passionate and do other tasks aside from my field to make things faster, however, it doesn't mean that I'm being responsible coz in a something is sacrificed. Hope i could learn how to say no sometimes.
I would love to end this blog by saying im so happy right now and that I'm so proud of our accomplishments as a team. The year started pretty though and glad we managed to create magic everyday! Di bale, we could have our fareshare after February 23.

Oscars telecast producers Bill Condon and Laurence Mark sat down with Susan Wloszczyna of USA Today for a must-read interview. In the course of their conversation, the neophyte Oscarcast producers promise that they're "tossing aside tradition in favor of surprise." Among the revelations recapped by Susan: "There also won't be the same old opening monologue, endless movie clips, an abundance of canned segments, silly prefab presenter banter and embarrassing interruptions of impassioned speeches." As Mark explains, "The only thing you must do is give all the awards out live onstage. You have to respect that. But there are many ways to do that, mind you."
As Susan notes, perhaps the most controversial of their proposed changes — "that the identity of the awards presenters would be kept secret" — has meant "more than a few Oscar watchers questioned the move. Why not publicize who will appear? 'Do you actually think anyone tunes in to see someone present an award?' Mark says. 'They suddenly hear so-and-so is presenting, and young males will watch? Well, no.'" As Susan writes, "One switch: Instead of lining up last year's winners and stars with upcoming movies to tout, Condon and Mark are reaching out to those names associated with a 2008 movie. And there will be a few blasts from Hollywood's past, too."
This move means breaking with the decades-long tradition of the previous year's acting champs presenting the opposite-sex category the following year. Indeed, Walter Matthau referenced this tradition back in 1971 when he pinch-hit for George C. Scott, who had famously refused his Oscar the previous year for "Patton." Watch Matthau present an uncharacteristically subdued Jane Fonda with her first Oscar for "Klute" at the academy's YouTube channel.
And if Condon and Mark follow through with this plan, we won't see a moment like this when Halle Berry, 2001 best actress winner for "Monster's Ball," got a bigger surprise than Adrien Brody, star of "The Pianist," when she announced him as the winner of the 2002 best actor award.
But let's give these two the benefit of much doubt right now, eh? They are proven master showmen who are hatching lots of intriguing ideas, whipping up gripping suspense, trying new things and digging up old, proven chestnuts from Oscar ceremonies past that deserve to be tried again. Personally, I have a hunch — and much confidence — that we're about to behold one of the greatest Oscarcasts ever. Oh, hurry up, Feb. 22! (23 here in Manila).
