xPost: My Favorite Foreign Hits of 2011

View original post

2011 is not a bad year for music because of the diversity of hits released this year, coming from different sources [The Music Industry, Underground, TV, Youtube (and the Internet in general) and even video games]. Sadly though, there aren’t a lot of standout artists and songs this year, making it easier for me to filter out my choices. Many sites are also proclaiming the death (it’s probably just hibernation [--,] ) of rock this year (but at least we’re fine, according to one site.)

I missed my first day of work, the most crucial date in my employment.

Words must be placed in such a way that two neighboring boxes form a compound word following the direction of the arrow, where the box that points is the first half, and the box being pointed to is the second.

Puzzle: Brain Maze #1

A few weeks ago, I came across a site called Maze a Day, which, as suggested by the blog title, posts mazes on a daily basis. (I wish I could have the same level of dedication). The site is great, the mazes were beautifully designed and extremely challenging. It’s great to see fellow puzzlers showing their works on the Web, and having made quite a handful, I’ve decided to publish my works as well. So far, I’ve posted a few, and has encoded nearly half of my works and digitizing them is now a WIP.

Here’s a sampler of a maze I made. Click the picture for the actual size, then just right-click and then click “Save picture…” to save a copy to your computer.

A PDF copy is also available for download. You can also try other puzzles.

Today marks my second year of employment in Sutherland Global, and I can safely say that my position is already pretty stable, after struggling in the job for the first six months. I survived, and I’ve got everything to be very thankful for.

It’s been a week after the examination and I have yet to receive feedback. Days came and went, and then on Friday the week after, I unmistakably recognized an applicant as I’m walking toward MetroTown Mall (I’ve been going in and out of this mall during this period, and I don’t remember anymore the exact reason) and that’s when I thought I heard the bad news. Apparently, they already had their training since Monday.
