You know what they say that when you’re feeling ultimate happiness be aware that the next thing will be a heart break? and vice versa

I had a great day until I got a call from Maisie and she was really sobbing and telling me she wants to be with me so bad, it breaks my heart hearing her cry so much and made me smile when she told me she will get her passport and fly here tomorrow! Like she can do that. Then when I got to office I got this news from two of my Filipino team mates that they intend to leave the company as soon as possible :( made me confused if I should leave too or not.  I really don’t want to leave yet but if people are leaving how I can stay happy here? Maybe I’ll consider just going back to Manila.

Anyway, ever since I felt so low after talking to Maisie on phone, Bert Thompson Unix Zurich Admin crack the hell out of me, oh well he never fails to make me laugh.  You know what people say that Unix Admins are mostly condescending?  Bert just refuted that!

I was just watching at their conversation in the channel.

Bert: ping sectools … my securid auth is failing for some reason.
Sectool Guy: Hi Bert
Bert: hi Mark, voila…
Sectool Guy: What are you
Bert: umm… a human?
Bert: this is on dcweb.zur
Sectool Guy: I was gonna ask what are you getting
——– Issue got fixed without knowing the real cause ——–
Bert: as usual, i will attribute this to gremlins…. or leprechauns.
Sectool Guy: hey!…I’m Irish leprechauns only do good things…lol
Bert: ok, thrown cold water on that theory then.  8^)
Sectool Guy: if u catch him I get the gold…
Bert: ok. deal… i get the cool green hat though.
Sectool Guy: all yours. I’ll buy my own

and I just couldn’t help it I pinged Bert

Me: 4:14 AM        Bert        umm… a human?  <– lmao
Him: 8^)
Him: it’s was the only sensible answer.  8^)
Me: I was kinda expecting you would say something funny hahaha
Him: i try my best to entertain  8^)
Me: Bert        as usual, i will attribute this to gremlins…. or leprechauns.  — hahaha
Him: 8^)
Him: don’t underestimate gremlins.  8^)
Him: fact:  they cause 83% of compiler errors
Me: hahahaha
Him: and 105% of all RAC cluster failures.

Day 14 – The meaning behind your domain name

It was a normal day in HP office, Johnell and I were talking about his earnings with his blog and how I wanted to get my own domain name but I was afraid it would go to waste because I rarely blog during those days until I suddenly decided to register this domain name on that day, September 21 2009.

I couldn’t really seem to think of a good domain name but I was thinking of something with Unix since I married it. It was supposed to be unixlust.com but I didn’t feel the name and I wanted something catchy but not too cheeky and not girlish so I ended up with unixbitch.com

This domain name was supposed to be a site where I learn my Unix learning but it just turned out to be my personal blog since I cannot manage too many blogs unlike before.

There’s no special meaning, but it definitely refers to me… I’m in love with it and I think I loved Unix more than my ex… so I better get someone who’s in love with Unix as well then maybe it will work… but nowadays I feel like losing interest already, I don’t know why, I’m thinking of getting back to networking, but I don’t want to be part of network team which the condescending Unix admins always mock.  I can always do both anyway.

camwhoring: morning glory

fresh from bed, didn’t wash my face and no toothbrush yet

Camwhoring!! Oh well I haven’t used the cam for like ages so when I woke up I saw it on top of the dresser so I decided to take a photo of me right away, now tell me I’m pretty when I just woke up and everything is swollen, lips, nose, eyes, cheeks!

I feel extraordinary happy today, I booked the flights for Maisie and me and I feel so excited to see her again.  I miss her so much.  Now I have to plan the itinerary of her trip and have myself ready for the psychiatrist exam, I wonder what the doctor will ask me.

I haven’t been to gym for like 4 months already and when I look at the mirror I can see that I’ve gained what I’ve lost again so I guess I need to get back to gym and stop procrastinating.

A friend told me that he remembered I had this site and went to see what’s new and he was surprised when he saw my posts are so not related to Unix, he thought this site was all about my Unix learning, well that’s why I put in About that it’s rare that I’ve put Unix stuffs here, it was the plan, oh well it’s not that I haven’t learned much in my first year with UBS, I just find it so fundamental which I don’t find worth posting, and the domain name, well when I was thinking of having one, it was Unix that came first it to my mind since it’s a big part of me.

Pocholo and I

If there’s one person who really makes my home sickness  lesser it’s Pocholo.

He is the closest friend I have here in Singapore so far, he is really sweet, he cooks for me and he really cooks well, he is my team mate and in just a short span of time we became really good friends.  We even actually think that there’s already a hearsay that we are together, hahaha knowing that he is married and I’m recently separated. I actually would prefer that and I really don’t mind, I would rather be linked to him than any other guys, it’s actually doing me good so those creepy guys would stop smiling and staring at me.  He hates it, I love it hahahaha

We never had a dull moment when we are together, we always talk, on person, on phone, and even in chat during work.  We talk almost about everything, from personal life, love life, sex life, work life, other people lives hahahaha.  We usually call each other during our way to office and ask where we are and how still far are we in office, and during our conversation earlier this morning I told him my torrent download now is super fine as I was having trouble with my download speed a few days back and I downloaded Fedora 12 and CentOS 5.4 with less than an hour, then he suggested RHEL 5, I want to but it’s too hard to find seeders for that, then he let me borrowed his redhat account :D and I’m downloading it now :D

He is really a funny guy who screams like a girl :D but he’s the best
