Misintepreted Misnomer

     There are times that you get pissed off even you know you can control the outcome of a situation. I was to take an urgent leave today(tonight's work shed) but failed to be permitted. I should resolved to just having an MC tonight, but that's not me at all, forcing situation and doing things unprofessionally. Being turned down was really not a good idea to start the day( or end it up in my case as i was working night shift) and is stressful. Hahaha. But then again, I get my 2 cent and think things through

      In this gloomy day, I wish i could relax a bit. But i am supposed to really be relaxing celebrating with my bunch of friends later tonight. Well, this is how maturity kicks in. I feel down and suddenly feel everything should be OK. It is Just another day. I can still see my friends for a short time but I really need to go to work on time. Well work is important and I should show to my colleagues how I handle situations, by not getting pissed but instead be professional and give in to the tides. Hahaha. Though i feel being cheated because I can really take a leave but was not granted. I guess I need to be patient to the likes of this situation. Its not Philippines anymore so the wind is so different now.

        So this might be the case of a work- life balance. Hahaha. C'est la Vie.

I am coming Home

I am coming Home

     I lose count on how many times did i come and go in Changi Airport. I really cant figure that out. The many times i go theere since i went here last November. Not one of them is my flight. Ive been to Terminal 1,2 ,3 and Budget Terminal, but all of them is just to fetch somebody. But wait no more... here I am, with my  two feet, on my way back to the Land where i was Born. Funny, i really miss home, so much :)
      So after  days of confirming that i am clear to travel back and forth. I did book and buy my ticket last night and all is SET!. So excited that i can't sleep. lol

Ticket Check!

IPA Check!

 

Move and Shoot some ISA!

    Just stashed a cheap Shooter and Nav Controller for the PS3! Sweet! But I am flying. better play this one when i get back next week :) Crave will wait!

Let's Move and Shoot!

Chain of Memories: Walking the Walk of Life

Chain of Memories: Walking the Walk of Life

     Yes, "I did it again", as the song implies, what ever you wish not to do something you always end up the opposite. Well walking another 3 hours or so, in the middle of the night without anything but a map is not pointless after all. I really miss the old long walks or climbs i did back in my mountaineering years. Climbing mountains without any guide, after work, in the middle of the night just lighted by whatever means of light we have. Ma it be the Moon light, which is actually full moon last night. Or a human contraption like headlights to make the night going. You won't make this night pass without letting yourself realized life is not about always on track. But also going beyond your line of sight and seeing obstacles as mere decoration to the life you will enjoy eventually(Sound really so Optimistic eh.)
     I just finished meeting and drinking beer with Charlie, an old friend of mine. It was a long night. I usually not good drinking beer or i should say i never really loved the beer taste but only the beer experience. Invitation like this from an old pal should not be missed. Its like growing beard but you should always remember what scissors or shaver is meant to be(do that makes sense, well it should be written since i really am growing beard right now)
     Really had a great time. Charlie is one of my best buds way back in HS. we usually go to their house on our half day school whether its Fridays or when it was moved to Wednesday. A typical all boys adventure with stuff from Movies, Anime, Building Paper Plane Dynamics or just eating out and playing whatever cards was within our sleeves, sometimes we study... hehehe. The pain of being in a Science School really needs a good break, and spending it in Charlie's house makes every pain an ease. Well i really wish to bring those memories back, Its really hard to track down people. Kevin the Hunyango, Alviz the Asymptote, Darwin the Great, Donnel Jose anak ni Rizal, Me and Charlie with occasionally present Jansen. They all end up in UP and me didn't made it Through. So the course of history is really meant to be away from all of them, a sad truth. But nonetheless, my life function well but really there so many things i can relate with the world Charlie was into.
     The night is into its climax and the beer in getting into my nerves. We drink in Beer Market, a new place in Clarke Quay. IT was a nice place for a good conversation or just being with your group and play anything with freedom(without violence). We are heading for the Bus but i am too presuming that i am right with this bus in mind. Say bye to Charlie and boarded the assumed right Bus.Confident as i make my to the land of the lost hahaha.
     I realized i am going the wrong way when it turns the other way. I was reaching my brother to my phone but to no avail. It was passed 1 am and i don't want to take a CAB. It may seem i am stubborn. But knowing i have a mini Map on an old phone my Kuya gave me. So i know i am not lost after all.
     10 minutes pass 1 am, here I am at Clementi Commonwelth Ave West. All i have i an incomplete map from the app in Kuya's phone. Go back where the bus came from... time starts now. Clementi Sta... Dover Sta... Buona Vista Sta... Commmonwealth Sta... Queenstown. Yeah hell yeah, I am hanging on it. Before Queen Sta. I took left via Queensway all straight to Holland road toFerrer Road to Bukit Timah to Thompson  Rd to Balliester Rd to Jalan Bahagia to our block. Though not accurate that mini map app(OVI map) did one thing right, taking me back home. hahaha.

at Ferrer Rd, A new Station! I hope they have water there :)

Mcdonalds and the rest of its Inviting Gang

      I am a Mcdo Kid, So when i am hungry... you might see me eating out in one of the Mcdo store anywhere near at my point of hunger(BTW, don't watch Food Inc. documentary. It was a really nasty how food in food chain was produce... hahaha, just wish my tummy to handle the issues). So I came across 4 McDo 24 hour chain along my walk. It was really inviting me to stop over and have my sleeping rest while dining in. Hahaha. Did took a pic at Ferrer Road just before Bukit Timah Rd. :) My head might be spinning but I am no Hungry. Yeah I am still thinking about my diet and the discipline i need to put on in. I lost maybe 2 kilos this month(I really need that weighing scale), and i need to lose more in the coming month to hit my target. Actually just want to put out my tummy tucked in, it's been there since college and i am curiously checking and doing something about it while i am at large, not working, Hehehe. And also, I need to save every penny in my pocket, that's why I am walking like crazy right now. So no eating or anything if not hungry!

A pose with Mcdonald's. I'm Lovin' It!

Ooops I did it again!

     One thing for sure, I need to urinate. walking that lng with Beer in your system will really makes you feel urinating. Yeah i keep it for more than 2 hours before deciding and finding something to "lubricate". Well i did it months before when i crazily decided to walk from Bugis to Toa Payoh in February. Too bad for the plants, they are always the victim of this ill mannered tourist. But i have no choice, i know ill get UTI keeping it that long. So when the opportunity strikes, the Mouse steals the Cheese! Yeah i conquered another dark alley!

PANINI Stickers

    I was in Thompson Road just before Balliester Rd. I came Across at 7-11. My head was dizzy and i said that i need to buy water or anything to drink or i might blocked out. So water water water water... oooh they have POCARI SWEAT, and it's on sale, so i grab two and immediately payed. Waiting for the cashier to finish i came across this NBA Sticker box, the NBA logo got me carried away to look more. It was a PANINI Sticker! This sticker brand really brings back memories. I once been a sticker collector. Exactly, i was in my first grader Kuya gave me(or did i get it from Him) a sticker album. It was a Thundercats Album, oh I love Thundercats, They are my first superheroes...or i should say Supercats. Then i completed it and bought another one, The Mask(A futuristic vehicles which tranforms into a killing machines)... But the latter went to its ill fated journey... the Thrash bag. I was stubborn and hard headed when back when. So as a penalty i later saw my collection shredded in painful manner. I really pity myself and how my Dad just threw something i treasure in my early child life. This is making me teary as i went teary walking reminiscing that fact. I really am not that kid who just ask for money so i could buy stuff. I almost give my tummy a tummy-ache just to get those. i usually do not eat in our recess just to compensate the need of my collection. It was tough, i started trading and selling too at that young age just to fill the gaps in my collection. Well enough of that, now i jusr wish to get hold of this stuff again so i can rest my case... hahaha. sentimental it seems, but life with this simple things thus make life complete most of the time. So hunting for one! The art of collecting. This is exciting!

Yes, this Sticker maker is still alive!

I wish i have a Phone with a good Map Apps.

    I stop wishing for those flashy phone since i lost all back in 2009. Leeting go is not an easy task until you came across  a life changing situation. But walking with anomalies on the map listed on your phone. Well I wish i have one, but nonetheless, it did something right... yes again, bringing me back home :)

I miss the mountains, I miss the long Climbs, I miss the long walk

    One of the best thing that happened to me is when i joined a Mountaineering Group. The love for nature, people and basically the love for long walk and conversation was really sufficed by this "wish I did it when I was younger" hobby. Cannot count how many did i ever climb. You will lost count when you are loving what you do. I miss those weekly climbs. Straight from work, we will assemble and populate the unsuspected Bus Shuttle! We are just loud and so excited every weekends that came. :)

Baguio I miss You

Baguio I miss You

      Baguio is to me my second Home, Though its not the best place to be for crowded

Another Reality Check... Minus the Red Ballpen

Another Reality Check... minus the red ballpen

     Its been 5 months, 28 days, 7 hours and 58 minutes since i landed in Singapore. and It's been 6 months, 10 days, 8 hours and 13 minutes since i left my last work in the Philippines. And So?
     Yup, i am still a BUM. Though I am now expecting a work to commence a month from now, but still I'll be a BUM for another month. hahaha!
     I never came to that WORSE Scenario, yes this is not yet the worse, Knet's 9 months still the worse record i suppose. But i guess for many this long will be BIG. Many wonder how i keep my cool despite this. My only answer, I dream not to fail :) Nonetheless However long it took me, i still knocked one down :)

Singapore, the land of the rising Filipinos

Singapore, the land of the rising Filipinos
by Pilosopong Balot

     Yup, unofficially, I am now a Singapore's MOM and ICA technical support. Hahaha. I'll be accurate as possible and will include personal accounts that will help you find your way going in Singapore for your dream JOB.

Preparation before embarking into the wilds of Singapore

1. Self Check. Do you really want to do this? are you mentally prepared? emotionally prepared? Si your family prepared for this? Are you willign to sacrifice everything for a better salary, a better compensation or a better environment...You got no traffic jam, Public transport is fluidly integrated with BUS system from MRT/LRT, Clean and Comfy and you are assured that your secured whether you are at home are walking alone in the middle of the night. 

2. Passport. Check your passport. Do you have one? I hope you do have one. One thing for sure, you cannot enter any country without holding a passport. So better HAVE one.
    a. The next thing you need to check is the validity of your passport, you need to have atleast 1 year, but better have more than a year left before the expiration date. Actually had issue with this, though i renewed my passport before hand here in Singapore, unfortunately, the released was delayed. So better secure a new one before going in Singpore to remove this possibility.


3.Finances. Are you planning to fly soon? do have money with you? Money is essential anywhere you go, especially when you quit your current work and all the money is going out. People recommends to me to save at least 6x of your salary or 120k(plus the plane ticket). oohhh, that's a lot of money, how come? Let me  explain, You are away from home, and worse for worse if it took you long to find work then you'll be running out of Gas. So better have something on your pocket, the more the merrier. So this pocket money covers rent, monthly dues(PUB-utility bills), Food, Tranportation, Newspaper, Gala (from time to time your need to unwind when the going is not going).

4. Documents. Have you gathered your documents needed for your applications? What do you need to prepare:(Originals)
a. Transcript of Records(TOR) 
b. Certificate of Graduation(DIPLOMA) 
c. Work Certificates
d. Training Certificates(though not necessarily needed, might help in defending your qualifications)
e. Passport. Also have scanned image of all those documents. For schools which are not in the MOM list
(http://sat.mom.gov.sg/), might as well prepare Authenticated copies of your Transcript of Records and Diploma at your school.
f. MISC, always have your USB thumb stick with you which contains scanned copies of the above documents( a,b,c,d,e)

EPEC(Employment Pass Eligibility Certificate)

      So what is EPEC? It's a certificate which can be acquired from MOM itself. Holder of this certificate can acquire a Long Term Visa Pass(LTVP-1 year visit pass). This is essential as you wont be needing to go in and out or apply for an extension of your VISA(N.B. upon arrival, visitors from ASEAN countries is granted only with 30 days VISA). So having EPEC with you will extend your stay to another 1 year after Applyig for LTVP.

      So whats the Criteria to have EPEC?  So Basically this certificates is a based on the Applicants Educational Qualifications. Your School should be listed on this MOM List (http://sat.mom.gov.sg/) before you proceed, otherwise, you can still apply for one but unlikely it will be approved. But still try, the list might not be updated. So push your luck :) 

Upon agreeing on the link, this page will load. You can check if your
school is listed, Just fill the Country of Awarding Body and the List
of School Qualified for EPEC will be shown via the Drop Down List.

Running under the Rain

Running Under the Rain
by Pilosopong Balot

2011/04/05

     I woke up when my brother got back from work, I was in the airport earlier with my friend Aynah. I should be resting and doing something and Watching NBA. But then again, i am outside fetching people TO and FROM the airport. It's not that i am not fond of it, but sometimes its getting, weel, getting on things i wish to do. Nonetheless, i still keep things going... Hahaha.
    I woke up not knowing its raining outside, wear my running gear and there i set outside. Yup its raining a bit and i am all green for a run. The rain was not that bad and the air is really chilling, i am not going back, i am moving forward.
    I need to finish 5 laps of my usual running circle its a 10 minute, 1.5km long lap. I wish i could do 6 but my knee won't let me do it. I can't run more than 10km anymore or it will break on me. I was thinking to write this blog while running, i wish there is this computer is reading sensor strapped somewhere near your head and can figure out what your thinking and write it down and transmitted 5km from you. That is such an invention that i need to have because i have so many songs written in thin air that i composed while walking, waiting for a bus or even in sleep which when i remember that i need to jot down when it was all gone.
   First and the last lap is baddest part during lapping. Its like an engine, you need to accelerate, let things going until you peak the speed you are comfortable with... 2nd, 3rd and 4th is a breeze as you still got everything with you, the energy the enthusiasm and less the spasm. The 5th one is scary, its like your knee will give in to oblivion. Its like knees will tear apart while finishing the lap. I always slows down a bit when it felt that way. I won't screw things up and cannot run anymore... as what i always say, "there's always tomorrow for everythng... chill out"
    First lap: Yup rain pouring, cold air breezing. Its like childhood again. All i need is soap to get bubbly. Memories of Bathing under the raging rain. I love it. I missed it. Well i wonder if its ok to wash here under the Rain or you'll end up taking a fine. So many things popping around me, Pinatubo, Rainy days i walked or rather swim while going home. Rushing to clear the leaves from the roof gutters, seeing roofs flies, dog barks while seeing a roof flies... hehehe.
    Second Lap, I am thinking about my work pass and my passport. i'll be going to the emba...

People go gaga for IPAD 2. Some
are buying not knowing what are
they buying.

     Wasn't able to update this blog since I am running into so many errands. I almost hit the zero mark again with regards to my job hunting. Just last week when Company G suddenly cancelled my job confirmation. It was really fortunate of me that i wasn't able to call back immediately Company D to decline his Job offer which took me 5 painful days to confirm thereafter. So i am much relax now and just starting to finish many commitments for my friends.

      I had my Medical Examination for Du Pont today an it was really a relief to know that i don't need to worry about looking for Job now. It took me 5 months to find a job and really time consuming and somewhat scary to think that nobody is calling me back from the companies i had applied for. Being in that long period of time, going in every site and applying for any job you can see fitted to you. I felt so incompetent being declined day after day. from 20 to 50 to 100 + application each day, it was really tiresome but you had no choice but to give yourself credit that you did everything despite poor outcome.

May ever majestic WACOM Intous3 with Doraemon and
Nobita (a sticker which i found while walking in the streets
OME,Japan) Yup this baby is 3 year old now

      Time after time, my patience is really proven in any aspect there is. Funny people might not see me exaggerating the circumstances that i am or showing any sign of defeat despite the many long idling moment i have as a BUM. Nonetheless, I am so thankful that I am born with this big PATIENCE, I am greatful with it.

      Have my Wacom Tablet Cleaned and drivers installed and now I am drawing stuff again. Really have a long list of drawings, caricatures and now maps for friends. Yeah I always keep myself busy for some others' self, But, really, I am happy doing stuff not meant just  for me. I am really into life's complication. Always meddling with people's needs. I guess its not me if i don't.

Yup, my urine is considered a BIOHAZARD! Here comes
Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine to hunt me up!

      I've been watching a lot of movie lately...as in 4 movies a day. now i am moving from 2010 now back to 2009. Movies i missed which are hits to the critics. Some of the good movies i've watched so far which i can recommend... Food Inc, Julie&Julia, The Worlds Greatest Dad, Moon, The Ghost Writer, Due Date and Buried. Still have plenty i am waiting to finish. I am looking forward to watch again The Cove, A documentary about the Dolphin trading in Japan and the Morbid killings of thousands of them which was uncovered by this group environmentalist, i highly recommending this one-its like watching a spy movie too.

      Well, i need to go back to my tablet and draw.

The Sky is the Limit

The Sky is the Limit

by Pilosopong Balot

    I let this day passed to think about what Job i really wish to have. I woke up by 6 am and took an early morning Jog- jogging and long walks is my favorite activity to think clearly. I lied on the bench and look in the sky. Just saw how infinite is the possibility which I could be. Sound absurd, but really i came to a realization that if only if I focus on something I can be reach higher goals. I am a very optimistic person. I can sense Optimism even in so distress situation. I am smiling despite any circumstances... i need to be strong amidst any chaos there is. To give hope, to build faith. :)

Kuya Cy, Cousins Froi and Chris(Bday boy) and ME :)

    So it is decided. I'll be taking a low salary job which i think will be benefiting me in a year time, On what i believe it would be :) Just need to clarify something and all is set, all is green!

    The day was so slow for me, just watched a movie and washed some clothes and the rest is all resting. :) Funny i feel so lazy all of a sudden, I guess because already stopped My applications which really consumes most of my time each day. I started to run out of things to read on the internet which felt really odd. Well I need to do something different starting tomorrow. Mmm. think think think.

    Just this evening, i met my two cousins for a dinner with my brother. Its been a year since we saw each other. well its good to see familiar faces :) I've been here for 5 months and I haven't seen them that long... hahaha. Am I busy? well i guess :) But its a nice Dinner, and we haven't get along that much even before especially me since we live far from each other but nonetheless the partly same blood memory running thru pur veins so everything is spontaneous :) hehehe.

    More things to come more surprises I need to expect. Atlast after a long idle... I am no more a BUM :)

Reflections of the Heart

Reflections of the Heart
by Pilosopong Balot


      Holy week is the best time to look into ourselves. How are we doing spiritually and How is our faith as of the moment. I am not well versed with the Bible, because i never give myself a time to reflect much on it. I am ashamed being so but i am not acting anything to counter it. I guess I am just like many other Catholics who are just are church goers and will disappear after the mass. I feel i am that person. and I feel sad about it.
      Lately I asked myself "Am I in the boat where i could reach Him well?" "Am I doing what a Tru Christian Should Be doing?" People might see me jolly but deep inside I feel incomplete. I guess I am branching at the wrong side of the Tree. My heart is stopping and i need more of His words.
     Life is just temporal, we are given an ample time to know God and show how able we are as His children. So what Am i Doing? I am Emotional, Sentimental, always drive by poignant memories, But despite i keep a clear thought that I am weak when i am lost, But i know i am not alone. This fight is with Him, all i need to do is believe, believe that I am His Child and I can do all things at His will. 
     I am grateful, I am strong, I am His child and all things in His will through His name Shall be done.


Amen.

I am not ME if I will feel ALONE

I am not ME if I will feel ALONE
by Pilosopong Balot

     What I hated about being sleepless is having this mood swings. Yup, my cortisol level is hitting at a high note again. I guess this long idling without work and the feeling of defeat of not finding work for so long is knocking on my nerves now. Sometimes it scares me but really i am putting everything in a  air tight bottle so that not an inch of worry would translate to  my actions and my face(but i guess not in my words here)

     I definitely did well this morning on my interview, and I wish that's what my 3 panel interviewer felt too when they put me in barrage of questions in that 40 minute long carnage. I am surprised how funny are they but still keeps an aura of stature. I felt a bit nervous and candidly asked them to bear with me as I need time to get used to the situation (Yup, I always honestly tell what I feel which I don't think if would be a detrimental on my part). But I feel confident despite sweating a bit early on. The interview went and i got good points but also have bad ones that's when i start to review items from my old job which took me awhile to answer. Yeah, everything i wrote down on my Resume was asked to me.

     Before the Interview went to an end, I again asked for the panels name, I am really bad at names and they joked that i should asked it firmly at the beginning. I feel great about it though The small guy, which thought i was a Chinese, thought that my qualification is above what they were looking for. They are just giving me an opportunity for a Technician Position. I actually told them that its not a problem as long as the salary is good too(really have no idea if that was a good answer) But I said that given the chance to have an internal hiring the looks for an Engineer, might as well go for it. :)

     I stand and told them how I looked after the stability of the Company as my first criteria in finding a Job as it will assure me that my future will be secured. And told them how i felt about the 1st interview which is an interactive one that comprised of 3 Group Activities. That i really love it and really enjoyed and really speaks out how dynamic the company is by giving everyone a chance to speak, defend and respond to the situation.

     Well, at the end i told them how greatful I am that I was given a chance to speak to them and show what I am, though I am really not good at interviews, but i guess I did my all and I pray I'll be picked for the Position.

      I might not get any sleep later as i will start to review everything that went during this interview. As always, I need to think positive about this. Always look to the bright side of the situation despite being in a bad spell.

Me(w/ the Kinect Xbox), ChingCath(B-day Girl) and Cookie

Aldrin, ChingCath(B-day Girl) and Cookie

     Yes, I had a great night, the meet up with Cookie, Ching and her Brother makes my feeling eased. I really thank God for bringing good people closer to me. Being away from home has its toll, But God always shows His grace in many ways. Loneliness is matter of perspective, it is how you define life which triggers emotions. I am just sleepless,  I am not alone.

I am not ME if I will feel ALONE

Marathon o Walkathon?

Marathon o Walkathon?

by Pilosopong Balot

    Just finished running with my BIG Bro-literally he is BIG, he admits it :).  Yeah, Been missing running and missing my running mates back in the Philippines. I was been out and gained 2~3 kilos since December(those cakes really gives the big punch on my tummy).

More Fats to Burn?!

That's MORE MORE FATS to BURN!!!

     Like walking, I really find running nice, not just for my health but also for my diversion and talking issue with myself. Yes, I talk a lot to myself, especially when i argue  about  my reality...  hahaha. I am not crazy, I just have this way of  dealing with issues by self "Imploration", I know a lot do this too.

     I still got the feel for running and i still remember the basics. My stance are great and i dont feel any stiffness over my always aching knee(got from a bike accident). I thought kuya right breathing, head position and the difference between 8min/km VS. 5min/km and i really play catch with the latter, whew!

     Kuya has a lot to burn and i wish this will be a regular habit of running and walking :)

Let's Drink to that! Happy Birthday Ching Sisters!

     It was a good day. Had a dinner with friends and acquainted to new ones. I am really blessed with so many good people while staying here away from home. Been asked, again and again why I am named Casper. Well the obvious reason is I was named after the Famous Ghost who is friendly despite being a ghost who scares the hell out of people, animals he met. I never regret the name, I am happy i was named that way(really easy to memorized), because most of the time it really reflects the friendliness in me.

     I lost to eating again... what's bad about going into eating party is... you sinned eating a lot. You'll forget your diet and you forget that you are eating more than your capacity or this time drink alcoholics from the limit you set. Well, as usual you'll defend that it just occassional and you are allowing yourself to enGULP with the situation... hehehe(I still can taste that Bloody Mary(Tomato Juice) i just took hours ago, gakk!). I am not really a drinker and but I don't want to spoil the fun :D

       I met plenty of people since Friday's Interview in DuPont then tonight. Well i wish for more, really friends are one reason my life is enjoyable to live in :)

      Now my head is aching wish to add more but i guess, like Kuya Kim is always saying, Sleep Heals! God Bless everybody, Good night.

Ako at ang Pilosopo, Sino ako?

Ako at ang Pilosopo, Sino Ako?
by Pilosopong Balot

     Its been long since i wished to have a blog on any blog site, i actually made one but its was long been forgotten. I wish this one will stay long enough... I wish!

A 10min sketch of myself.

   Ako at ang Pilosopo, sino ako? I am a frustrated writer, frustrated artist, frustrated cook and many more frustrations i have. I love to write when i feel writing, my memory is not good, so i need to write what's on my mind right away so it won't be like dreams that once woke up everything will just be go away in a blast. I love movies and I love criticizing movies I've watched. I have eyes for art, but i am not really, I don't have that talent nor don't have that creative brain. I am an observant, and i never get bored just sitting by myself. I always talk, to myself when i am alone... but i love good conversations whenever someone pop a message on YM or facebook or Txt. People says I am a people's person because wherever I go I will surely fit in. Yes indeed, now i am getting what they mean about that... hahaha.

     Ako at ang Pilosopo, sino ako? Tahimik, Really?! A shy type to those i really haven't mingled with yet. But its no brainer i am makulit, magulo at times whenever I acquainted to people with the same level of wittiness. Love to be with people and love to do many favors... hahaha. Honestly, I really love to help and make promises... which I, most of the time, I fulfills. I always make time for people I really care for, and they are plenty of them(having no work really makes me so limited, so i'll make up whenever i received my first paycheck, count on it-making another promise hahaha)

      Ako at ang Pilosopo, sino nga ba ako? Pilosopong Balot is my pen name, it goes way back in 2005 when i first wrote my Blog in Samsung, We are using an internal messaging software and I write whenever i feel first thing in the morning before work. It was a hit... for my friends and commented good things about my poems, personal accounts "at ang walang kamatayang" symmetry writings which relates my stories to moral lessons or last words that describes it. Balot came from Illa Dacanay, She called me Balot because my hair looks like "sisiw ng balot" after i take off my cap. And since I am literally a "PILOSOPO" in many ways so I came up with that Pen Name.

     Ako at ang Pilosopo, ako Ito! Simple, Charming(naks), Honest(sa mga napipintasan ko... sorry) and Respectful, God Fearing and always  True to my words. 

      Ano pa ba? I made a ten minute sketch of myself, i referenced it on my photo last December, I am a bit chubby then because of the so many cakes I've eaten back then(Thanks to Ate Emy and her ever free and delicious cakes from Swiss Bake)
