1st day without ADI

Let me start my story last friday, March 4.

Last friday was my last day in ADI and the start of a new world in *****. Kung bakit di ko masabi kung ano yung ***** , eh akin na yun! Pake nyo ba! hehehe. Well, it was a dramatic friday. I was trying to keep my tears from falling dahil hellleeeer!!! I am no drama queen!!!!

Grabe, they ( i mean my officemates, people from fab transfer and RCSC and the rest of the world) just don't know how hard it took me to say NO to my former company. Uhmm...ang mga malisyosang isip...*tsug* hindi yung iniisip nyo ang di ko matanggihan!!!! Actually, I found it hard to go out of my company because of THE PEOPLE who became so dear to my heart. Honestly, I am missing them all right now.

Nakakamiss yung makikipagkulitan ka sa kanila despite the hectic sched, despite the customer pressures, despite the gory meetings and the " debate ni mare at pare" talks, well...isa lang naman ang nakakadebate ko...(love you sir jojo...este JOJO!!! Agree!Agree!!Agree!!! So ano na gusto mo mangyari? What's your point pakshet!!!! hahaha i bet nagtatawanan na sila eye macel pau hehe at augie neto). Peace tayo Jo! I miss you na talaga.

Nakakamiss yung dating kinalakihan kong office (well actually mas malaki ako when I first got there, lumiit pa nga ako nang lagay na ito). I miss the hallways, the CR, the gym.

And most of all, i miss my PAPAs. Hiyeeeee Papa!!! I wonder if Papa Jeff is still as grumpy as ever (mukang nagtulay na ang dalawa nyang kilay, keber! kamukha pa rin nya si lucky), I wonder if Papa Ramon is still as pogi as ever (nagsasalita na kaya sya ngayong wala ako?)...

At si Papa Ichi, I wonder if he would still dance the robot dance which almost brought the whole group to its fame. Grabe naman kasi eh, daigin ba ang Bee Gees.

I miss cube 5

Macel..sana di pa lagas ang buto mo sa ADWil A.
Pau....sana di pa lagas ipin este ang hair mo sa ADWil A.
Ellen and Augie...hmmm..napuntahan nyo na ba yung...*****...hehehe
Eye...sayang di ko masyado nasakyan si ....ano na nga ba pangalan nung ano mo? yung ano...yung ano...dra ano..hehehe ang hirap baka di ko pwede banggitin.

Karl...siguro ang payat mo na ngayon..hehehe peace! love you

Jojo....i cant wait for the next battle...

Lyn...musta na ang Star Customer Quality Reliabity Teen Quest? hehehe Duhhh...

Can...mamimiss ko ang pagkain-kain natin dyan. Hehehe. Papayat ka na...lagot...

Hay nako. Kabore pala yung mag isa ka lang. Sana mag start na ako sa *****......

MaTh Sa PerYA

Last weekend, I went to Zambales with my bestfriend Can. Fiesta kasi dun eh. As usual kumain na naman ako ng lato at ng sapsapuyo. Last saturday night was the first time I ever went to a "perya". And mind you, it was sooooooo crowded I was afraid that there might be pickpockets in the area. We went from the popcorn stand to the place where people would place their bets. Ang daming varieties. Nakakaaliw.
Syempre nagbet din kami. And it was our first time. Here is the scenario:

There are six different cards on the table. There is a funnel directly on top of it. The one betting will throw the pingpong ball through the funnel at kung saan tumapat yung bola, yun ang panalo. You can bet from 1 peso to 100 pesos. If you bet 1 peso and you win, you will get 5 pesos. If you bet 100, you will get 500. So basically, it is 5 times the amount you bet. Examining the table where you have six card to bet on, I figured out that If I try to bet on four out of six cards, (4/6), then my chances of winning is 2/3!

Ano ibig sabihin nito?

Simple lang. If I bet on 4 out of 6 cards, I have a higher probability of winning. So pag nagbet ako ng tig-1 peso on each 4 cards, I will be spending 4 pesos. But if I win, I will be getting 5 pesos. That gives me 1 peso "tubo". The same way, if I bet 2 pesos on each of th 4 cards, I will be spending 8 pesos. But if I win, I will be getting 2 *5 = 10 pesos. Hence, If I bet some XX amount of pesos and I win (which has a higher probability than losing), then I will have a "tubo" of XX amount of pesos.

Dry run.

Can and I started betting using 1 peso for each of the 4 cards. And yes, we won. So we got 1 peso. We tried to bet 2 pesos for each of the 4 cards. And we won again. So we got 2 pesos. Syempre pataas ng pataas yung bet. We were so happy then because we almost got 120 pesos! At medyo naiinis na yung nagpapalaro sa perya.

Then we finally bet on 25 pesos for each of the 4 cards. Syempre nyerbyos kami. Oh well. Since there is a 2/3 chance of winning, there is a 1/3 chance of losing. At yun na! We failed. Shempre napa-"yes" yung mga nagpapalaro sa perya. Hehehe.

So we ended up winning 20 pesos.

At least the math works. =)
