an ode to jimmy-a-a..

eversince Mobile Backlight Engineering was formed, we expected jimmy to be our leader through thick and thin, though we had more thins than thicks.. and every single first impression on him would rule out that he'd be an advisory engineer.. it simply doesn't show.. he's never serious, cracks jokes from everything he hears, has a knack for creating song medleys you never thought possible (yet you say 'oo nga no!'), a self-proclaimed romnick sarmienta look-alike, and a proven 'bagets-killer'.. but i believed in him, and ronnie, i think, did too.. he proved himself nonetheless, and he's our 'evaluator' now (a term we prefer rather than manager)..

congratulations, i'm sorry.. you're an E50 now, but you will handle us two E40's and an ever moody E30.. that's a total of E110 and we got you outnumbered.. lol..

we were talking yesterday just before we got out of the office.. he saw me doing some last minute workstuff.. he said, "..nagbago ka na ah", i told him, "op kors, manager na kita e.. tsaka iniisip ko kasing walang silbi ang manager ko.. motivation ba" then he answered, "ay.. totoo yan!"

we both had a hearty laugh..
