Goodbye 2009!

Why should I miss the year 2009? Are you, guys, with me if I'd say Year 2009 had been the worst year of the decade? We may have different insights so I'd forgive you for your contradiction.

As I reviewed my life in the year 2009, I cried in tears (exaggerating huh!). 2009 had never been good to me. So many things had happened which are beyond my expectations. I should have not been looking back to this year because it brought nothing but pain. But, as we all know, we learn from our past actions, events and happenings.

Let me give you the list of my bad moments in 2009. Here they are:

1. Dubai Driver's license. Due to extravagant charges of taking driver's license in Dubai, as always, I did not push  through my evil desire in getting it after paying huge amount of dirhams.
2. Vacation leave.  My plan of reuniting with my family last July turned into a bad dream. Since we had not selected my temporary replacement, I decided to leave my post and opted to join another company instead.
   
3. Accepting an offer. I accepted and signed an offer letter from one of the auditing companies in Sharjah with much higher compensation package and benefits. My company did not hand-over my passport so I was not able to go.
4. Resignation. I got a dramatic resignation. Actually, it was not approved but I insisted to leave.I did a one-on-one talk with my boss a day before I should say goodbye to him. I revoked my resignation.
5. Break-up. This is the worst thing that happened in my life. I lost the person whom I gave my trust, respect, loyalty and love. As a result, I was alone in Christmas.

Ugh. Life is a mixture of happiness and sadness. But, I am pretty sure that my year 2010 promises ONLY good lucks and prosperity.

To all you, guys, join me to say goodbye to the year 2009 and let's all welcome the bountiful year of 2010!

My New Camera

This is my new camera. Simple yet elegant. It has a very good price. I bought it on promotions at Carrefour, City Center last two weeks ago.

This 10.2 mega pixels ES55 is a fuss-free digital compact camera suitable for the first-time user. Actually, this is not my first camera. My first samsung camera is already two year-old. I decided to change it because it's features are nothing compared to  this ES55.

Digital Image Stabilisation and Face Detection technology are the two main features that I found interesting on ES55.

I am not a photographer by profession. And I don't even dream to create a studio of my own to steal the long-time established fame of Fuji and Kodak. I just wanted to carry a camera wherever I go to document those moments worthy to be remembered. Don't get me wrong, but I am almost on my time when ginkgo biloba has to be taken regularly.

Hopefully in the next few days I could publish some of my amateur photos.

Advance Happy New Year to all!

PEBA winners, congratulations!

PEBA 2009 is finally over. The winners are now listed on the  PEBA site. Congratulations to the winners, especially to Nebz and Pope who were my personal choices. For those who did not win, better luck next time. PEBA awarding is held annually so we always have chances of winning. We've done our best part for the success of PEBA. Kudos!

By the way, I got a new theme for Perfect Square, courtesy of themescook.com. As usual, I encountered problems on updating the html codes, gadgets and widgets. This is why most of my favorite links were missing. If your site is not found in my current links please notify me so that I could include it immediately.

Thanks and Happy Innocence Day!

Saluting Sheryll

Perfect Square would like to congratulate Sheryl Mariano Juan - the first ever and the only passer of special CPA examinations held in Abu Dhabi on December 2,3 and 4, 2009.

The examination was conducted by representatives of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) of the Philippines, an agency responsible for regulating and supervising the practice of professional individuals according to knowledge base and practice, who were in the region to carry out board examinations for Filipino professionals at Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Sheryll was one of the 97 examinees in the Middle East, of which, 44 were from the UAE. She last took the CPA examinations in the year 2006 when she was still in the Philippines but was not able to make it.

To Sheryll, CONGRATULATIONS! 

Note: This special examination gives hopes to OFW's who are aspiring to become Certified Public Accountants. Hindi na po kailangang umuwi pa sa Pinas para kumuha ng board exams. Maraming salamat kay Pangulong Arroyo sa programang ito!

Reason

Ayoko ko na sanang balikan pa ang bahay na 'to. Marami kasing mga bagay na nandito at gusto ko nang ibaon  sa limot. Mga bagay na walang silbi. Mga paratang sa likod ng katotohanan.

Inaamin ko. Nagsinungaling ako noong una. Sinabi kong mawawala ako ng isang tao't kalahati o mas mahigit pa dyan. Gusto ko lang bigyan ng katahimikan ang lahat. Alam kong mahirap ang ginagawa ko pero hindi n'yo ako masisisi. Normal lang to sa lahat ng taong nagmahal at nawalan.

Nagmahal ako at nawalan ng minamahal. Umamin na siyang nagkabalikan na sila ng ex n'ya. Isang taon na daw. Pinilit kong ituwid ang kamaliang hindi sa akin nagsimula. Nagmakaawa ako. Lumuhod at humingi ng isang pagkakataon pero bigo ako. Malakas ang kanyang paninindigan na hindi na niya ako mahal. Ilang taon na rin daw na hindi niya ako kapiling. Ito daw ang dahilan kung bakit niya ito ginawa. Ayaw na niya akong mahalin dahil daw ayaw na niya akong masaktan.

Ano ba ang magagawa ng isang taong inaayawan na? Sa bagay hindi ko naman siya masisisi. Tanggap kong isa akong OFW. And, long distance relationship does not work without cooperation of both parties.

Note: The main reason why I find back my world in the blogosphere is dahil sa request niya. 

Para sa'yo: I respect your decision at hangad ko ang iyong walang kupas na kaligayahan sa piling niya. You know how much I love you. If you decided to come back to me I am very willing  to accept you. Because of you, I got to put my shoes on and start to live my life again.
