OMG! ako ba talaga to?

You scored as Satanism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. Do some research if you immediately think of the satanic cult stereotype. Your beliefs may also resemble those of earth-based religions such as paganism. Satanism 71% Agnosticism 67% Atheism 63% Islam 54% Buddhism 54% Christianity 50% Paganism 42% Judaism 33% Hinduism 29%

sa wakas!

Masaya ako ngayon! Sa wakas kasi, may bago na akong project. Mukang magiging busy ulit ako kasi dalawa yung time studies na in-assign sakin. Aside from that, may gagawin din akong mock-up samples ng mga products ng Kraft. Basta makulti yun. Mix kami ng paint to make it look like Cheez Whiz, Mayo, etc... Gagamiting samples abroad. Mahirap daw kasi magdala ng real product kaya parang replica na lang. Anlabo noh?

GTG guys! ^_^

wanted: project

It has been almost 2 weeks since may ginawa akong REAL project. Hinayang na hinayang ako sa time ko honestly. Sana naman hindi lang mga utos-utos ipagawa sakin. Ako na mismo lalapit sa supervisor ko to ask for a project. This time, ayoko nang maging photog! Sana may i-time study uli ako. At least dun, ka-mingle ko yung mga workers and mas may matututunan ako. Pero actually, ok lang sakin yung mala-photoshop editor ako e. Eh yun talaga interest ko kaso lang kinakapos ako ng trabaho. I don't wanna be left idle. I really value my time. Humihingi na nga ako ng magagawa sa mga cadets sa sobrang bored ko. Aside form that, nakakahiya kasi everytime my boss sees me, wala akong hawak na trabaho. Pag wala naman siya, dun tumatambak tasks ko. Nakakainis!

I need something to do! Ayoko i-spend yung buong shift ko sa blog! haha!

diaspora

United we stand, divided we fall.

Though heard many times, seldom in our lives we actually experience this saying. Today, I had a taste of this bitter experience.

Before, there were 6 of us staying in this tiny cube. (Actually, hindi naman talaga ako kasama sa room, nakikitambay lang ako cuz' malungkot sa cube ko.) One by one, the cadets were asked to transfer to a different office. I dunno, maybe they are just threatened by our closeness, our unity. Syempre naman, pag magkakasama puro backstab kami sa mga boss. Lumalakas lalo yung pagsasamahan namin dun.

In union, there is strength. (sabi nga ni Bab, "sa sibuyas, may tigas!")

Maingay daw kami pag magkakasama. Inggit lang sila kasi kami masaya, nag-eenjoy kahit papaano. Ewan ko nga ba bakit ganito. Nakakaawa nga sila e. Imagine, pag may mga bisita (foreigner na mga panginoon), sila yung pinagmamalaki ng plant namin. It almost came to the point where parang binubugaw na sila. NO, serious! They were even told what to wear, to put on make-up, to ACT pampered. (yup, ACT lang kasi hindi naman ganun yung trato samin dito) SHIT! KALOKOHAN! In reality, CASUAL lang sila at hindi man lang PROBATIONARY. Imagine knowing about their REAL status after 4 months of work. All that time, they thought that they were on proby. If that ain't shitty enough, they were just stripped-off their priveledges like the use of gym facilities, rice rations, etc. Ok lang sana kung ganun lang, pero why did they have to transfer them to different offices? The only thing left for them is the sense of belonging, being a small family here in the recently minimized office. Ok lang kahit bawas ang priveledges mo pero yung paghiwa-hiwalayin kayo ng mga kaibigan nyo, ibang usapan na yun. TP to Engineering, Carlo to QS, Kelly to Production Supervisor's Office.

And then there were two.

Officially, si Jing na lang yung magse-stay dito sa Cadet's Office pero pasaway si Jen (Pinaka-unang nilipat na hanggang ngayon dito parin palagi kasi pinalipat ng siya sa baba, wala naman siyang PC dun) Pero hindi na din yun magtatagal dito. Ibababa na sa CI Office etong gamit kong PC para wala na daw palusot si Jen. Since mawawala na to dito, malamang babalik na ako sa cube ko. I'm just hoping that Erwin would unlock and Log-off this account before leaving! Lagi tuloy ako wala magamit.

Ganyan talaga buhay.

the black mantra

astonishing panorama

Magnificent is an understatement.

There is no word in my vocabulary that can describe the beauty of the beach. Everything in that place is just sooooo cool. Malapascua Island, simply stunning; from the crystal-clear waters and powdery-white sand to the lush greens and the perfect weather. Malapascua Island definitely is the place to be this summer. Most people say it's better than Boracay, I agree. (hands down) It's the haven for divers and snorklers (is there such a term?) boasting an array of sealife from bizarre mollusks to Thresher Sharks. This is why it's not surprising that 90% of the people there are foreigners, mostly Europeans. In fact, we were the ones who looked like foreigners!

My view for the island suddenly changed when we went to an island 2 and a half hour from the coast of Malapascua. There IS a place better than this HEAVEN!

An island, or should I say a SANDBAR, which isn't even a kilometer long and 10 meters wide. Clam port-side beach on your left, stronger, deeper waters on your right. Imagine yourself standing, sandwiched by water. Half of the island actually submerges during high tide. It boasts finer, whiter sand than El Nido or Boracay. Coral reef surrounding the slim isle. The clearest waters you'll ever see. I have been to the best beaches in the Philippines and I'm telling you guys, Kalanggaman Island definitly set the bar so high, it almost hit the moon. I'm not exaggerating guys! You DEFINITELY gotta see this island!

ceburatsky

Haaaaay! Last day of work. Our flight to Cebu is scheduled to leave 730am tomorrow. It's a bit early kaya I need to fix my things asap. At last, I would get my well-deserved rest. Kahit na makaltasan pa yung napaka-laking daily allowance ko sa Kraft (tumatagingting na 150 bucks!) *sigh*, ok lang.

Eventhough I'm still here (office), my mind is already snorkeling for sceneries, diving for adventures. Ano kaya magandang gawin dun? I wouldn't spend 4 days at the beach! Hell, ayaw ko namang maging nog-nog o ma-sunburn yung scalp ko. (I miss my full-of-body, thick black hair. Hehe!) I wanna go nature tripping. Like what we did in Bohol last year. I also would like to refresh my Philippine History cuz' Cebu is teeming with Spanish culture, being the first colony. Actually I have been there 11 years ago. Astig na dun, may SM Cebu na during that time. I would recall describing it as the biggest mall I've ever seen, hell, even a herd of elephants could fit there. (That's the same thing I wrote on the universal Grade 4 theme writing, "MY SUMMER VACATION" Haha! How about you?) That was before, when I wasn't even 4-feet tall. I dunno now.

Txt me guys kung may gusto kayo ipa-bili ha! (haha! di ko ilalagay cel# ko) Kayo na bahala pano nyo ipapa-rating sakin yan. :p

deathrow

Yesterday afternoon, I did something most people would try to do. I had my head shaven. I look like a guy in deathrow... yeah right!

Acually I've received a lot of comments about my new doo, surprisingly, they're good. It's official guys, I look stouter (err.. pangit pakinggan e, basta mas-mataba) now with my hair gone. I still don't know what pushed me into doing this. Maybe because it's summer, mainit sobra! Siguro, it's also because I wanted a new look. Someone who would reflect the inner Droz, the one I've been talking about before.

kalbo=macho

I dunno if this correlation still works today. So far, ok naman. I'm actually thinking of maintaining this style. Hmmm... maybe modifying it a bit. Adding up flare by having design shaven on my top. I don't wanna look ghetto with the Iverson-stripped pattern. I don't also like to look like a dork and have it appear like a headband (mohawk sideways. haha! pero laugh trip yun!). It would be something like what Flea from redhotchilipeppers had on "give it away". (think spiral patterns)

wala lang!

later guys

droz's mood (bother/stonesour)

Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest

I wish I had a reason;
my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten with its memories
Diaries left with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on:
I'll never live down my deceit

The Elves and the Cheesemaker

Goooood mornin' peeps!

I'm doing line yield analysis today. After carefully analysing the data, I therefore conclude that kraft owns a magical machine that is an exception to the scientific truth that all energies, as well as raw materials transformed into something different undergoes loss (may it be in power or volume). This revolutionary machine is capable of producing more than what is inputed. It's normal to have a machine's efficiency and yield up to 75%. Excellent when it reaches the 85+ mark. Phenomenal to break the 90% margin. But never in my life have I heard of a machine capable of surpassing 100% yield!

Phantastik!

Hahaha! I just formulated a theory that magical Keebler elves (yes, the cute ones inside the giant oak tree that makes those delicious cookies) live inside the machine. They are almost the same as the famous ones that helped The Shoemaker. This is the latest in cheap and mystical labor. Never again will multi-national companies employ Indian and Chinese kids for labor. Who needs them anyway? They can't fly, they don't sing songs of merriment.

Long live those lovable elves!

(Oh Keebler elves, sprinkle me with magical DUST!)

digital photo hunt

Yesterday morning, Droz, the official fotog of Kraft, was assigned to have the week's collection of pictures developed. They are all digital; the pictures he himself enhanced the day before. In order to have it printed, obviously, he needed money. The problem is, Droz didn't want to pay for the pictures and have it reimbursed. That process could be very tedious having no power at all, being a DUST. The worse thing that could happen is having the expense report he would submit rejected because of his non-important status.

"I needed someone to do the petty cash advance for me!" said Droz

Droz's supervisor, not around. His staff, not there either. Analyst, not willing to CA. That leaves my manager, AAP. At last!

Upon receiving P1,500 from AAP, Droz headed to SM Sucat aka. SM Jologs. To his surprise, Kameraworld, Kodak and Picture City doesn't print digital! OMG!!! (Kaya pala SM Jologs tawag dun e)

He fled from the tiniest mall and rode a jeepney. Droz stopped-by every photoshop he saw only to be disappointed once again.

"PUTANG INA! Hindi ba talaga uso digital printing sa SUCAT?!?!?" Being roasted by the sun's piercing rays, Droz travelled-on. After another jeepney fare wasted, he spotted a small Kodak sign about 150 meters away. "Mejo malayo yun a." he said. Swallowing his saliva as if it was his only source of agua, he asked the driver to stop the jeep with much hesitation.

Alleluiah! ^_^

(While waiting for the pictures [1hr], Droz rented a PC in a nearby shop. He also spotted a long-lost friend there. watacoincidens!)

Upon receiving the prized DIGITAL pictures, Droz returned to hell he calls home; sunburns, migrane and all.

Productivity: 0.05%

OMG! Could the day be more boring than this? No, really?! I spent the whole day doin' nothin' at all! The only job-related thing i did was to eat a company-made product! wahahah! j/k As usual, official photographer nanaman ako ng plant. Pictures nanaman! If I'm not taking pictures around the plant, I'm either editing the pictures I took or having it printed. KRAP! As I am typing this entry, I'm still adjusting the brightness and contrast of the photos last training week. Haaayyyy! I should have taken-up BA in Photography kung alam ko lang na ito lang ipapagawa nila sakin.

Sana naman bukas may magawa naman ako para di na ako nabuburat!

signing off in a fuckin' cool style...

big clean-up day

The day is almost over. We're done cleaning up our own areas. At last, nakahawak din ako ng PC! Soundtrip lang kami ni Kelly (officemate na small but terrible) ng Houndz. Mamayang 3, we'll start auditing various places in the plant to check whether they have done 5S completely on their areas. Haaaay! Sa wakas, last working day of the week. Actually, yesterday should have been my last day, unfortunately, this clean-up day was scheduled on a Saturday. E ano naman magagawa ko? Dust lang naman kami dito. Edi ayun, having no choice, pumasok na din ako. I actually planned earlier not to show up at work, kaso my I don't want my conscience to haunt me. This is my major project after all, being a 5S specialist (whatever!)

hasta la vista ma' hommes!

head aches badly

DAMN! My head is killing me. I shouldn't have gone here today. The moment I arrived here, work! Argh!

later (work's-a-waiting)

white castles and the icy manipulator

Home at last! I finally fixed the bug barring me from using BLOG. (cool, it rhymes)

I didn't take any pictures of seminars today. I spent my entire morning making circular targets for tomorrow's catapult activity. (FYI: tomorrow's activity is catapult making. Teams are expected to construct a catapult, trebuchet or a giant sling to launch a junior-sized ball to the air. There would be three categories, longest distance, best design and accuracy.)

As we finished making the targets, I showed it to Mr. V-neck himself and guess what? He didn't like it at all. He wanted us to make it appear like a medieval castle with the 20-pt parapets and all, with noblemen worth 50pts peeking out of windows. In short, he wanted it to be highly detailed! I told him that it would be next to impossible to aim at the detailed target taking into consideration the quality of catapult the dumb workers could make. BUT NO! He insisted on his idea. He does not empathize knowing that we needed those targets tomorrow morning. He even wanted it to have scales! (wahahaha! SCALES daw yung tawag sa STONE BLOCKS!)

Having no choice, we did what we were told to do.

(enter music)
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind...

body sore

I woke up in the morning with the taste of spoiled New York's Finest still in my tongue. That cup of our home-grown, extra strong coffee sure did the trick of keeping me awake past midnight. As I struggled to stand up, I realized that it's too early. DAMN! It's still 5 in the morning! My body lying motionless, still feeling the fatigue from last afternoon's gym session, refused to get up. Ah, it's morning alright.

Hey, it's a new day! Another worthless day comin'. I'm so tired of this week. I don't know what to do with my time. Kaya nga ako naka-gawa ng BLOG on the first place eh!

later guys

V-neck

(A song I composed specially for someone who really bothers me. I know some of you can relate.)

akala mo ikaw ang hari
sakal-sakal ako sa leeg
buhay ko, di ikaw may-ari
tumigil ka, di mo ba narinig?

ugali mo'y ubod ng pangit
aapakan kaming maliit
di gagawin ang iyong sinabi
tumigil ka, di mo ba narinig?

ba't di ko malagay ang batas sa 'king mga kamay
ba't di ko magawa, magawa?!

sa lahat di magpapatalo
ikaw na lagi ang nananaig
dahil don, ako na'y ginago
tumigil ka, di mo ba narinig?

akala mo, ikaw ang hari
sakal-sakal ako sa leeg
nasa huli ang pagsisisi
hmm... tumigil ka!

ba't di ko malagay ang batas sa 'king mga kamay
ba't di ko magawa, magawa?!

(growl!)

PUTANG INA!

Nung una kong post, I thought na wala na akong gagawin for the whole day aside from taking those stupid pictures. Well, I was wrong. A was called to attend a meeting after my shift. Guess what? Yup, I was assigned to do more stuff. The bosses are out today so they delegated their jobs to us, DUSTS. All we are is dust in the wind. Same old SHIT!

Badtrip! This post should have been longer and contain more explicit contents if this BLOGSPOT worked at home. E hindi eh, Tangina! I have DSL connection that doesn't support BLOGS! To hell with PLDT!

tatah!

shutdown training shit

Another day wasted here at "Krap". I spent all of my time today taking pictures of the seminars conducted in different venues througout the plant. It's funny that every picture I take looks identical. A person in front yapping and yapping about proper etiquette shit and dumb-asses sitting in front of him who are not really listening. I should have been doing more important stuff like taking a dump, playing ragnarok (waaaa! last day ng 2x experience today and i'm stuck here! /sob), or doing REAL work like time studies and other analyses. Imagine guys, for the whole week, my sched is gonna be like this. The only different thing I'm sheduled to do would be on Thursday. I'm assigned to do have the atendees do an evaluation form. Gather the results and compute for the eval! SHIT! If that ain't shittier than than taking their pictures, what is?!

I wanna go home! I need a cup of coffee. That's the only thing I look forward to here at work and guess what? We're all out of coffee. The thing is, we supply coffee for the whole of the Philippines and we ain't got even one sachet of that bland 3in1! SHIT!

later pards<--haha!

pardon me

Pardon me guys for not completing my very first post a while ago. I was just rudely interrupted by a shitty person who doesn't give a damn about who he's talking with. All he knows is that he's the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be. He's a GOD. He's omnipotent, invincible, and yes, he likes V-necks too.

Well, to continue...

I am not who I say I am. I am not the Droz you got know. Who am I? It's just complicated. I have tons of alter egos. One of 'em MAYBE is the Droz you know. I wear a different mask in every environment I'm in. You may either know the do-gooder Droz who does all things right or Droz the outlaw, the one who likes to annoy people as much as possible, the one who thinks only for himself; but never were you guys given the chance to know the real me.

Who am I?

I'm DROZKIE THE BABALASI X WARRIOR.

droz talks about humuhumunukunukuapuaa

Its scientific name is actually easier to pronounce than its common name.
Rhinecanthus Rectangulus!

So, why did i mention this odd-named fish? Becuase I want to. This is my blog and I don't care if you would like it or not. Who gives a shit about this page anyway?
