Week #19 Year 2010 Ben Millionaire Experience – Election in the Philippines for the Year 2010

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Last May 09, 2010, I woke up early in the morning. I left my boarding house in Brgy. Highway Hills and I went to Cubao, Quezon City. I rode in a bus going to Alaminos, Pangasinan and Bolinao, Pangasinan. The bus left Cubao at exactly 9:30AM. When the bus stopped at Socony, Bugallon, Pangasinan, I got out of the bus. My father was waiting for me in Socony. I rode in my father’s motorcycle and he took me home and we arrived at 2:00PM . :)

When I arrived home, my mother was very happy. She hugged and kissed me. She really loves me so much. :) From 3PM until 6PM, my father and I had a long conversation. We covered different topics but our major topic is all about business. He has many businesses in mind but he could not start it for lack of capital. He expects me to help. I told him that we could be business partners. He also asked to renovate our house. I agreed to what he suggested. For now, I’m doing my best to help my parents. I want them to be happy while they’re alive. I know that they’ll not live in this world forever. So while they’re alive, I am doing my best to make them happy. Doing the things that they’ve never experienced before. I want to show them my love and respect.

We slept early on May 09, 2010.

On May 10, 2010, I woke up early in the morning. It’s the time to vote. My father and I went to Rosario Elementary School in Barangay Rosario, Lingayen, Pangasinan. It’s the first automated election in the Philippines. We arrived in the school at 6:50AM. We expected that voting will start at 7AM. However, the election started at 7:40AM due to PCOS (Precinct Count Optical Scan) machine problem. I was able to vote at 10:30AM because senior citizens were prioritized.

Week #8 Year 2010 Ben Millionaire Experience – Punto Miguel

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

Last February 27, 2010, my project-mates in the office and I had a team building at Punto Miguel, San Juan, Batangas. We left Metro Manila at 6:45AM and I arrived at Punto Miguel at 11.45AM.

As we arrived, we ate our lunch after about 20 minutes. Punto Miguel staffs served as a very delicious chicken. I enjoyed eating chicken. After eating lunch, we sang 35 songs in Punto Miguel’s videoke.

There’s a beautiful beach in Punto Miguel. I did not swim there but I rather watch people playing volleyball in the seashore.

At 4PM, our project manager hosted a game for us. We played different kinds of games. All of us enjoyed the game.

At 5:45PM, I left Punto Miguel and went back home. I realized that Punto Miguel is very far from towns and cities. Thanks to our project manager for she brought me to the town of San Juan using her Crosswind. From San Juan, I rode in a van going to Lipa City, Bantangas. When I arrived at Lipa City, Batangas, I rode in a bus going to Cubao. Finally, I arrived home at about 9:45PM. It took more than 3 hours for me to travel from Punto Miguel to Metro Manila.

Though I didn’t stay overnight with them, I still felt the happiness brought by our team building in Punto Miguel. It’s really a very nice experience.

Here are some pictures I got from Punto Miguel:

On December 27, 2009, I went to church. After that, I continued reading my Java book.

On December 28, 2009, I stayed at home. I continued reading my Java book again. I was able to read 60 pages of my book.

On December 29, 2009, I met my former teacher Rolando J. Andico and other friends (Fredace Ferrer, Rexell Perez, and Saud). We had short conversations at Rolando’s house then we played billiards. We also sang in an eatery where there’s a videoke machine.

Rolando J. Andico was my best adviser when I was in college. He taught me what to learn in order to easily get a great job. He advised me to learn Oracle SQL, Linux, PHP, MySQL, HTML, and XML. I love this teacher for he showed great kindness to me when I was a college student.

From December 30, 2009 to January 01, 2010, I stayed at home and enjoyed every minute of my vacation. I celebrated new year with my family and other relatives.

On January 01, 2010 7:30PM, I left our house and I went back to Metro Manila. I arrived at Cubao, Quezon City, Metro Manila at 12 midnight January 02, 2010. I arrived at my boarding house at 12.30AM. I slept at 1AM and I woke up at 9AM. I took a bath and I cleaned my room.

I enjoyed this last week of year 2009. Thank you for year 2009 was a great year for me and for my family. :)
