studying, pondering, missing

i'm caught up with three things right now: work, life, home

work:
i've so much to learn, OSGi, Parlay and Parlay X, and CORBA.
i have plans of developing a web application for managing agile projects that would use OSGi for dynamic module management, Spring for DI, and an MVC framework (not decided yet on using Struts2, ICEFaces, or Wicket). anyway, i have created an initial skeleton for the project and i'm using maven for project and build management. hoping and praying to get this done this year! so help me God.

life:
i try and do my best to live a balanced life, and playing this game
in the kind of career that i have ain't easy. it always cross my mind,
what can i do to make an impact to other people using the gift and
the blessings that comes with it. i am always slumped in my small little
desk in a corporate world having a project that is using bleeding edge
technology that nobody cares about, or at least outside of the industry
that i'm into. there's so much more to life than these things, are you
feelin' me??? oh well.

home:
i miss home, we should be heading back on the 18th of this month but
we got extended for a week (i'm in ireland btw). at least it's just
for a week, i dreaded it would be for a month or more whew! i miss my wife, i miss our dates, i miss having lunch with the family, i miss summer
outings (heading off to boracay this time!), i miss playing nintendo wii with my wife, i miss hanging out with my true friends, i miss my pamangkings,
i miss bragging with my bro and sisters. i'm glad there's God.. he always
reminds me that i'm not alone and He's there watching, listening, guiding me. thank you God for blessing me with a wonderful family, although not
perfect, but we do our best not to be a disfunctional one.
