I am hurrying to finish the remaining tasks for the current Milestone I am working on because I need to get my pay as soon as possible. My payables which need to be paid are piling up including the annual premium of my life insurance. I already received the anniversary reminder from SunLife for my annual payment.  And since I am no longer a regular employee, I need to pay my SSS quarterly premiums voluntarily. Besides the two, the bills of my DSL and phones have arrived and are almost due. My daughter’s payment for her PACES also needs to be completed before the start of the school year. So I really need to hurry the completion of this milestone as my payment depends on it. The internet connection interruption didn’t help at all.

I wish I live in other country where I can file a legal action against the provider for the inconvenience it caused me. But I will surely demand for a rebate for the hours their service was down. I think it is just fair, right?

With all the productivity-tools available nowadays, presentation reports can easily be done. The most commonly used presentation software is Microsoft’s PowerPoint which is quite expensive. But don’t worry, there are also free and downloadable available tools which you can use in preparing your presentations  just like the Open Office. These softwares can convert a dull-numeric table to visually attractive and easy-to-understand charts in no time at all.

There are fewer concerns if the presentation reports can be delivered in soft copy. Just save the presentation to a storage device like USB or send it via email, and presto! The presentation will already be available to the target person. But what if your boss requires you to present it on a hard-copy? Will the slide print-out be enough to impress your boss? Isn’t you will look for an attractive folder where you can place your print-outs or reports to make sure that your boss will at least take a glance of your work? And if you have an access to any custom presentation folders, will you not prefer to use them to present your report?

In preparing a presentation, the main concern is the content. But the look-and-feel of how it is presented will greatly affect if the content will at reach the eyes of the target reader.

I really need to focus to complete this task. I have set aside other assignments behind like gathering some information about testosterone booster. I re-assign some of my tasks to a pal while I declined to some.

For now, I need to prioritize my development project because I’ve already gave my word that I will finish it. But after this project, I’ll probably take some time to rest.

Recently, as our client had decided to temporarily halt our two-year offshore service to them, an opportunity for me to learn another technology opened. This technology is Java, the counterpart of Microsoft .Net technologies.

Java is not a new technology. As a matter of fact, I had a Java subject during college. But I realized that the Java I learned eleven years ago was totally obsolete with the current development in Java programming. I am totally lost as I study again this language and the other technologies associated with it. The more challenging part is that I have to learn it through self-study. As I started to try the tutorials available over the internet, the more I realized how big Java development is. But as a senior developer, I am expected to learn it with minimal supervision. As an eager-learner, I consider learning Java as an opportunity for me to learn more and to get out of my comfort zone as a developer.

Now, I am planning to use my desktop for my work permanently. I will just use my laptop as backup in case my desktop fails. But if I can avail of another free license of Windows 7 Professional (hopefully) and my laptop is no longer covered within the warranty period, I might reconfigure it again *wink* to suit my development needs.

I mentioned on this post that May 1 is usually a holiday if it falls on a weekday. In this year’s case, May 1 is Saturday so I don’t expect to have an extra  day off  for this holiday. But because of the generosity of the government with holidays and the current holiday economic policy, the celebration of Labor Day is moved to May 3, 2010, Monday next week. This means that Monday will be a non-working holiday! Another long weekend coming!!! Hurray for laborers like me!

Owning and running a business is a lot better than being an employee, how small the business maybe.  And the father’s decision to franchise a siomai stand and to place it in a well-populatedarea  is a wise decision.  But it is a wiser move  if he also  avail  a business insurance for their business  as a protection for their investment.

My husband will be throwing-out a dinner to some of his closest Pastors tomorrow night to express his gratitude for their prayers for the result of the LET. Instead of a dinner-out (which is more expensive), he convinced them to have the dinner here at home. As if we can cook well and our house is big! Nyahhaha! Anyways, he decided to serve only the dishes which are very easy to prepare. Among the dishes he listed include kinilaw na tuna with grilled liempo, sinigang na hipon and grilled bangus. One of the pastors requested for fruit salad for dessert. I think the dishes are good enough for four men And I hope they will like the food

That all for now folks! Need to get some sleep! Just finished my tasks for my full-time job. See you!
