Navision Training (Oct. 15-27, 2007)

I attended a training in Makati last Oct. 15 to 27 for Navision. It was actually a 3-simultaneous boot-camp training. Trainings were held for the Functional and Technical aspects of Navision and the third was for the CRM training. I decided to take-up the technical training for the reason that I already passed and was certified for the functional aspect. The technical aspect will be very hard without any sort of training from experts. Fortunately, my knowledge with programming languages helped me a lot to be able to cope up with the very fast pace of the training. Or maybe because I also did my homework before going to school, so to speak.

I was surprised of how willing the other resellers from Luzon in spending a lot for these sort of trainings. On the average, they have at least 2 people attending every training. Well, I was alone, but not quite. I learned a lot from my co-workers here in NgKhai that I once thought of myself as a technical person instead of being a finance person. What I learned from them made sure that I will not be left behind on this training especially on the hardware side.

In the end, I learned a lot but also found out that there is so much more to learn yet. To rate it, the training gave me barely 10% of the entire lessons that I need to learn.

A sad and happy week

I received an SMS last Sunday, Oct. 7, 2007 from my sister back home informing me that they have brought our mother in the hospital because of breathing difficulty. She has a guiter problem since I think 2003 and from then on, I always insisted that she should undergo operation. No wonder I kept on thinking of her that day. It's been a month or more since the last time I was home and I really do miss them all. Now we can insist that she has to have an operation, but she got sick and the doctor won't allow it. I felt so guilty, I don't know. I'm supposed to be home, but I can't due to financial restrictions.

Also this week, I received a news from my boss that I will be transferred from NgKhai to Esprint and handle the software solution business. Of course, I will be given my fair share of increase, both in compensation and obligations. I should be very happy with the news considering that my boss trust me, but no. The reality is, my mother is sick, and there is nothing to celebrate, even on my birthday...

Well, in everything that I do, my family is my inspiration. Without them, nothing else matters.
