KNOWLEDGE is the most important factor to achieve one's goal. To be a member of the Filipino Computer Club is the first step to my aspiration.
Electromechanical Technology is a three year course in
Technological University of the Philippines
(Taguig Campus) which I graduated in August, 1994.
Machine Maintenance Technician was my first designation in the company. My career & life status
grow with for almost 7 years. I had been sent to Hong Kong & China to set-up machines & to train
technicians, receiving allowances plus basic salary. I left the company for some unexpectable
circumstances with a designation of Sr. Line Maintenance Technician.
Few months later, I found myself sitting in an airplane bound to Taiwan thinking & expecting that
the company that I will be working for will be as good as the company that I left in the Philippines.
That the company environment, the system, the job and most of all the salary will at least the same
if it is not better. As time goes by, I only got one out of four in my expectations; that was the
salary which I work on it for every single cents. My job as a CNC (Computerized Numerical Controlled)
machine operator must have to strive hard to meet the company requirements. I was not satisfied with
this position, I want a more challenging in terms of technical ability & more responsibilities in the
side of management. I can not find these in Taiwan so, I just finished my contract & went back to
Philippines to be able to start seaching for a job that fit my desire.
Now, I am here in Dubai working as Production Machine Maintenance & Facilities Technician. Yet the job
is a piece of cake, the only burden is the salary which is very low. This situation inspire me
to find & learn something about computer.
To satisfy the reader I will unwrap the first part of the story. Early marriage interrupted my
ambition to become an Architect. At the age of 18, I work hard to satisfy my boss, but there is no
improvement in my career. Why???? I realized that if I don't have a sophisticated tool which means
educational knowledge, I will have no progress at all. So I decided to go back to school & at the
same time working to feed my family. When I graduated from my course I got the job that I want.
I am not a novel or poem writer, I am just a Technician hoping to enter the field of computer.
This story was only created with the guide of naughty pen. Hope that anyone who read this will
not only enjoying time but also learn a good lesson or idea in the science of life. Before I fave a Bye...., I am Rustico Arthur Hugo, you can just call me ART for short.
