I would consider 'Red Cliff' as one of the best movies I've ever seen. Awesomeness!

The movie was based on the events during the Three Kingdoms period in Ancient China that was known as the Battle of Red Cliffs.

The Three Kingdoms joined forces and brainstormed to defeat the chancellor, self-proclaimed Prime Minister Cao Cao (pronounced as Tsiao Tsiao), that was ruthless and aims to conquer the Kingdoms of the South.

The Allies of the Three Kingdoms showed how they were able to defeat the Prime Minister with its hundred thousands of men through how they carefully planned on how to defend and attack.

The strategist of Liu Bei's Kingdom played an important rule in defeating Cao Cao. It was he that predicts how the weather changes and how they used it favorable for them. They were able to use it acquiring the necessary arrows they need and as to when is the right time the wind changes its direction that'll be in favor of their attack.

The movie scenes and the story itself was very awesome!

I don't know what I am feeling right now! Only that it's the same thing I feel that I know of when I get the 'HB' (high blood / hypertension ) thing!


It's the Third Week

This week is simply the third week from the date of my exit interview. As far as the information given to me, I should make a call to follow up for the date as to when I'll get my last pay check this week. But, dismayed to know that my documents and information is not yet forwarded to the other site that handles the last pay releases. I was informed by the Human Resource that takes care of the forwarded documents to contact our site's HR department to follow it up by myself. What the hell Uh! Why can't she take note of it that I phoned and she to follow it up?!

Worst thing is I can't contact someone from Asiatown during 2:00PM - 5:00PM, Wednesdays and Fridays which was said to be that right they must be contacted. F!

A Mistake

I admit! It was my mistake of not doing my clearances soon as possible after my last day of work. But can you blame me if today is the last day of my work and tomorrow is my flight to Manila?!

I know I got a problem with that!

Okay! I got five days of terminal leaves to prepare myself for another journey elsewhere but I was never advised to get a clearance on those days. I was just told that it is not allowed. And so that took me long for a month and a couple of days before I got my clearance!

And yes, that was after I got back here in Cebu.


Set to Expect

Unfortunately, Miss Janette informed me that if ever my documents are not forwarded on time, my final pay will be release the next year, 2011!


That will make me sick, very sick, very sick of waiting!

Should I just celebrate Christmas and New Year delayed?! Whew!

These days had been boring to me. From the said work at the office at Mandaue, I often drop by SM City Cebu. Nothing important though to be there, just roaming around.

One thing I like going to SM City Cebu than going to Ayala Center Cebu is that I am not intimidated by how I should look with what I wear on that day. The place is simply for everyone in all walks of life. Unlike when going to Ayala Center Cebu, I often make sure to myself that I am wearing appropriately desired for everyone to look at.

Not so much of comparing, what I always look forward to in the place is that I get several choices of stores and the likes. Secondly, I am fan of The Art Center, where there are often exhibitions of what they so called 'art'.

The recent exhibition is called "TAGBO: The National Exhibition" which will be and is still held as of  to date, November 17-30, 2010.

Making sure that I do not violate rules with the arts and crafts that were displayed, I got permission from the person on duty to take pictures.


Aren't those look wonderful and nice?

Credits and praises to the artists of these!

As early as now, I have been seeing schools with their participants getting ready for the upcoming Sinulog 2011. It's just a month and a few more days before January 2011 comes and everyone are busy aside from celebrating Christmas.
