Resigned at MSI-ECS

I officially tendered my resignation at MSI-ECS (Phils.) Inc. as Product Officer of Ozaki effective August 07, 2009. It has been a fruitful year for me working in this IT distribution company. MSI-ECS gave me a good break in the IT industry, considering I don't have any experience, I was given a good position as the Product Officer of Targus and later on shifted to the Product Officer of Ozaki. My total length of stay in this company is 1 year and 4 months. I am now serving my 30 days after resignation period for proper turn-over. Thank you Mr. Jimmy Go for believing in me!

Thanks for the dealers who supported me, particularly Power Mac Center (Kath, Trish, Jackie, Sir Lawrence and Ms. Leslie), PC Express (Benjie, Sir Randy, Sir Oli), Octagon (Ms. Arlene), Silicon Valley (Ms. Tina), Infoworx (The Mafias: Sir Ferwin, Sir Mike, Sir Jake, Ms. Gena), TCA (Ms. Heidi), Complink (Sir Jerry, Ms. Monette, Dahlia), iStudio (Ms. Eva, Ms. Jen), Qualicentral (Ms. Minnie, Ms. Grace), Automatic Centre (Ms. Twila), Microstation (Sir Terence, Gen), Brilliant Technologies (Ms. Ailyn), Acenet North EDSA

I would also like to thank the people and friends that I met inside MSI-ECS, thanks for the strength and the determination.

To all those who have wronged me, to those who created folds in my life in MSI-ECS. I also would want to thank you because without you, life will be boring for me inside. You know who you are! I am not saying I forgive, but Thank you! I bid you farewell and goodbye. I can only think of 2 major ones (you know who you are).

I am leaving MSI-ECS with a clear conscience as I enter into another chapter and challenge in my life. To a company where I know I will be able to grow more and will be able to appreciate more of my capabilities and strengths.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians

I am a fan of Greek Mythology. I am fascinated about how the gods in Mt. Olympus have their own specific responsibility whether it may be the sky, the water, someone who brings and delivers messages, fertility, love and etc. Upon my search in www.amazon.com that has a greek mythology theme in it, I am quickly amazed that there is a series written by Rick Riodan entitled: The Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Without 2nd thoughts, I quickly rushed to Fully Booked to get hold of copies of books of this series. Wow!! You can view and visit the official website at http://www.percyjacksonbooks.com.

The story line is similar to Harry Potter but it has a different plot and a different theme. Harry Potter is concentrated basically on wizardry and witchcraft while Percy Jackson is concentrated on greek mythology, gods, goddesses, demigods, cyclopses, satyrs, centaurs and etc. There will be a movie which is set to release on 2010 for the 1st book entitled: The Lighting Thief (I can't wait, I bet it will be amazing!) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0814255/, for more information regarding the upcoming movie.

I am a fan of young adult/children fantasy books nowadays. I started and finished reading The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer, The Mortal Instruments Series (City of Bones, City of Ashes and City of Glass) by Cassandra Clare. The faery love-story which left me hanging wanting for more; Wicked Lovely, Ink Exhange and Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr. I am not on the 3rd Book of the series of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
