I Lost Focus...

    What a very bad start for my new year... I feel like I totally lost focus of everything. On the previous year I was preparing for my SCJP exam and I felt like I was really doing good. December 2006 was supposedly a dedicated time for me to review for the certification. But I wasn't able to finish my review and now I feel like I've gotten even more rusty.

    There are quite a lot of things which is affecting my concentration right now... First, I'm getting frustrated because I can't work on my C++ game, this is due to the pressure my work is giving me right now. Second, I'm having quite a lot of problems taking care of the requirements for my housing loan. Makes me wonder if I decided too early to make a reservation... Third, it's January! My target date for completing my game is on March, 2006. It's not gonna give me any profit but this would be a very great achievement for me. Hmmmm... What happened with the Christmas wishlist here at devpinoy BTW? Did anyone get a gift from last Christmas?

    On the other hand, I'm getting excited because finally I will be able to work with XML(the real XML stuff) with my next project. Most XML stuff I got my hands dirty on were just configuration stuff. But this time, I get to write them and parse them using SAX API. But still... I'm losing focus... And I feel like I'm not gonna be all that productive for the next few days... Sad

I'm sorry to say this but the Christmas giveaways was cancelled because one of the sponsors had an issue... The parent company which is based in the US agreed with the promo and they sent an email to their local branch in manila to help us but the local branch didn't email us... probably they were not interested...

on the otherhand we have two companies who have pledge their support and has given us some swags to giveaway.. books from MS and a softwarre pacgkage from farpoint... some(3) of the books are to be given to the winner of the programming quiz and 5 are still left without owners...

i'll probably do a raffle or another programming quiz this month so that i can dispose all this goodies...
