i finally did it
... played Dota (outside the office) with people i DONT KNOW.
Last Saturday, after Sam's dedication and drinking session in IC's, Celsus, Nikki, Alekos, Po and I decided to play DoTA in one of the netcafes in the area. I have been playing DoTA for almost 2 years now, but i have never played outside the office (except in Anino) and battle against complete strangers. The mode was -AP and it took me a while to choose my character (i was too scared to just pick randomly). Finally i settled for Phantom Assassin, one of my best characters, and did what i usually do.
To make the long story short, my "strategy" didn't work there and i got beaten (they were always after me since ako lang babae and it seems i didnt know what i was doing. che!). Damn, i was the 3rd lowest scorer. Something i haven't seen in a while and and it hurt my ego. huhuh... So there, i have learned a few things in that game and i plan na bumawi next time. I just need a few more "practice" and prove i can be "1" in DoTA. Grrr...
------------------------------------------------------
... resign from my job.
Two and a half years of working in ePLDT... ayoko na!!! I had taken as much BS and corporate politics as i can just to get through it. And now that they are taking all the reasons that made me stay this long, there's nothing worth it for me here anymore. I will file my resignation next week and take a terminal leave starting end of january.
I had been wanting to resign since 2003 but i have learned to love the people and my work. It is very hard to leave something you love and that's what made me stay. But most of the people and the work are gone and it's like starting all over again. So now before i fall again and lose the courage, i will resign now! congratulate me!!! :P
-------------------------------------------------------
lots of things are happening around me lately. i have always been scared of changes. but i now accept that i am getting old every day and i have to start doing the things i want in life. i want to fall in love with a serious job, i want to go to places and become more mature. i have always loved high school but i know now that it is time to let go and "get out" of it.

DotA: grabe! nakaka-relate ako! nag-try akong mag-Battle.net dati. iba talaga pag others na ung kalaban mo! yung iba, sobrang kupal. akala mo kung sinong magagaling. hehehe. :P
ReplyDeletejob: congrats! makakahanap ka din ng trabahong sobrang gusto mo (at naco-compensate ang lahat ng efforts mo). :D

ReplyDeletetseri: practice lang yan. bnet or hamachi at least two hours a day. if you can, practice using -dm -ar para nde ka stuck wit just mastering one or two chars.
ReplyDeletecongrats! good luck to all of us :D
ReplyDeleteCheers Che! here's to change... ^_^
ReplyDeletehi guys!!!
ReplyDeletethanks so much for the good cheers! i was really scared nung nag-decide akong magre-resign na. it's such a big change e! anyway, sama-sama pa rin tayo sa bagong buhay ha? :)
about dota naman (jem/mapet), oo nga! kupalan lang sa net. di naman necessary na magaling sila. bulok bulok nga yung build nung ibang nakita ko e. hehe!
jem, dm ar nga ako sanay or ar e. kaya nahirapan ako pumili nung ap. pag ap kasi laban, mag-random rin lang ako. nway, since magre-resign na ako, no more dota in the office everyday. huhuh... i have to get internet na in the office!! grr...
waw! congrats on taking that big leap! :D bawal ng mag time first or ulitan sa decision mo ha. :P good luck my friend! :j
