Marvin's Ideas

Dealing with professional people is something that’s always new to me. It’s like every time I met with people whom I consider to be professional or a bit higher in terms of experience than me, I tend to learn new things out of them. Usually it will be in terms of how they act or what do they do in an actual met. Take for example the act of giving a contact number. Usually, what we do is just pick up our phone and give our contact number to someone. Many people that I’ve met before seems to share the same manner of giving their contact number which is through business cards. Well I am not saying that someone on the other side is not professional but I was just trying to differentiate the formal and the usual things that different people do.

My sister sent me a Happy Father’s Day message yesterday. Through the email she sent a smile on our father’s face. It was just a simple Happy Father’s day that touched papa and made him thankful for hearing words of greetings from them. He misses our eldest sister who is now currently living abroad with her family. Well gladly she sent our father a short but sweet message.

Happy Father’s Day to all of the fathers around the globe, especially to my papa and my sister’s husband! You’ve been the best men in the rest of the human history. I still remember the times when I was still a small kid. My papa was the superman in my eyes that time because he is always there to give a hand whenever I fall. I can’t remember a moment that I fell in the ground and papa wasn’t there. Though he wasn’t able to catch me but that act is a strong manifestation of love and care. Now that I am older and even taller than him, he was still the “Incredible Superman” that I knew since I was a child. He didn’t change even a bit of who he is when I was at my younger years. He was still the man of strength, responsibility, love, and care. I am too lucky to have him as my father who has been my primary caregiver together with my mama when I was trying to learn the basics of life. I am pretty sure that I won’t be able to express this to my father but I hope through certain things and actions that I will do, he will know what I was trying to express. Thanks a lot Papa! God Bless and Take Care as always!

Instead of spending time on daily newspapers I am able to save money due to the online websites of our local news bureaus. I used to have a daily budget for the newspapers that I buy every day. Well, it’s a kind of thing that I used to have every day since I learned the art of reading. Actually few months and years ago reading is not my type. I rather go playing games than reading books, comics, magazines, or any other stuff that’s made for reading. I just don’t want to read at all and it’s boring. But now I found myself with a book in hand trying to learn and love reading. Well it not trying at all, it’s like getting into it without knowing what made me do those things. It’s kinda strange right?

It was my sister’s birthday last Saturday and I didn’t fail to give her a nice greetings. I sent a lot of emails to her greeting her a happy birthday because she not here with us. She’s actually working outside the country as a teacher. My mother asked me to give her an email of greetings which I did for a couple of times already. So I suggested a different way which could be more expressive. I have audio recording software installed in my computer and so I told mother that I would record her voice and so we could send it to her via email. Well I was able to have my mother’s greetings recorded and what I did is, I put background music to fit the spoken words of my mother. Father wasn’t there during the recording and he doesn’t want to speak on it because might be he’s afraid that he will also cry like what mama did. I sent it to my sister and she was also crying out there hearing the words of greetings of our dearest mama. Well, it’s a heartfelt greetings and mama is always like that.

Last Friday was the most awaited moment of my family wherein I will be heading the stage for the last part of my student life. I graduated as an Electromechanical Technician though I passed the stage without any awards but they’re still happy for my success. Of course they were the ones who sustained my daily sessions from home to school and vice versa. Well I was so much thankful for them (my family).
Aside from that June 11 was also a big birthday of my special friend. After the graduation, we went to a restaurant for a simple celebration. I also invited her so that it will be a big celebration though it was not. My parents enjoyed the food as well as my friend do. It was an “eat all you can buffet”; bottomless drinks. Well it’s quite inexpensive but the good thing here is that I was able to put a bit sense of celebration to both of my loved ones. My two sisters weren’t there because they’re in far different places. I invited the boyfriend of my elder sister but he said he can’t go because he’s on duty. I also invited two of my cousins who were as well enjoying a lot there. After the meals we went home together with our mouths full of satisfaction.

Sometimes we often judge people based on their physical appearance. It’s the most common scenario in the society which happened not only today but also in the past. Just like me when I was still in high school. My teacher was so surprised during the presentation that made for her English class. I am not a good looking guy. She wasn’t expecting that I can do a fluent English language speaking. Due to that our group received a good grade because of my performance. She was really amazed and she said “Your looks don’t match your skills”. Well maybe, it’s because that I am not particular with in terms of the natural grooming of most guys out there. Totally that was fine and at least I got a good memory from the past.

Today is my graduation day! After waiting for almost 8 months without any contact with the school, the off semester students are hereby granted with the diploma after successfully fulfilled the 3 years of the Industrial Training Program of the institute. Well, I finally fulfilled my duties as a student and I am not after the graduation ceremony itself and instead I am up to the certificates that will be granted to me; the diplomas and everything that would be useful in the future. Anyway my sister sent me this little “Plaque of Congratulations” for being successful in my studies even though I am not one of the top selling students among everyone out there. Hmmmm the term “top selling” means those students who are now being employed and were able to bring satisfaction and help to their families. That’s my own term for them.

Yeeha! I was so surprised upon visiting my sister’s blog which was recently being updated by her. Well I was just shocked because lately she was trying to ask me few questions about blogging stuffs and whatsoever. She was like learning that time; it was last month when she was trying to make her blog put into work. Now she’s like learning fast and the development of her site was pretty fascinating. I just can’t imagine how she did it. It was really cool and productive as well. Go for it Sis! Kick it off and let the fire burn!

My uncle just started renovating their house. He was able to gain enough amounts for the renovation and so he started it yesterday. He hired few workers to take the job and he holds the plans for the general renovation of his house. The first part that takes the renovation is the roof because it might be too difficult to fix it whenever the rainy days will come soon. Summer season is on its last drop and it is expected that rainy days will be most often as possible. So that’s why he told the workers to finish it as early as possible.
