Quo Vadis

April 28, 2010

It’s been nearly a month now since I start my work in GreenHeat. I have entered the relatively unheard world of renewable energy (A lot has been said about green engineering from many professional organizations and so far none came to AMORE-3 launching and this is where the action is). I’m starting to find my place in this work and so far I still have little to do since the WASH program doesnt started yet. basically I’m helping out in doing CAD works for our newly launched commercial application (can’t tell you yet the particulars)but lately I have been asking, is it still worth to continue my MS? lately I am starting to have my misgivings on it, I started on a wrong foot. (Guys, if you are planning to get MA or MS please know first what you really want and make sure that nyou can afford to stop working). Many of my friends said that I have almost arrived just finish the thesis and just bear it out. But the sad truth is I am not happy anymore and I dont get any fulfillment. My family on the other hand said that I must finish this to honor my father’s sacrifices but one fact remains: I am not bounded to no one and even my dad give me the permission to stop if I have to. Another thing to consider is I lost my adviser’s confidence and definitely it would not be healthy for me to do it anymore.

I’m back!!! and so sorry

April 23, 2010

Its been a while since I last wrote on my blog (luckily I’m not somebody but for my students who religiously follow this I’M VERY VERY SORRY). Well since I ended the sentence with an apology might just as well offer my apologies to my students and colleagues. I was not able to finish my masters thesis on time so I have to leave TIP-QC. I hope to return someday and give back to God and Country. To SPCWD friends I’m also sorry for it took me a long time to do it but I still stand for my commitment to you (Thank yo to Engr. Aligato and Mr. De Roma for bearing with me) but I assure you that I’ll give something this June.

I’ll leave school for now but I’ll be back. The the last of the SOLV Tiger is not done yet
