For almost six months, I’ve dwelled and worked alone at home. I used to work in an IT company before where I reported (and even slept for a month) in the office, but I just don’t feel my future there – so I quit. Today, my job is good not just because it pays better than the previous one, but especially because the people whom I am working with, and the person whom I am working for, cares for me a lot.

Well anyway, before I get emotional, if you are wondering where I write my blog articles and do my work in the day, the picture below best describes it.

As you can see, my workplace is not that great. I work outside the house so I could see the nice morning, breathe fresh air, and watch animals and people passing nearby. I tried to put things in my workplace in an effort to make it look cool. As of this writing, it constitutes the following:

White Board
I bought this stuff to be used for my scribbles – lol. Well actually, I used it to write my monthly action plans, the income generated by this website (which as of this writing, earned only $0.84 combined all ad networks), and finally, my scribbles.

Trendy Stand Fan
My mother bought that fan out from her loan last year. She (We) thought it was good since it looks very nice, space-conscious, and very modern. However, the air it produces is very disappointing. I believe my fart blows stronger than it – lol. Well, it can’t beat the great heat generated in my tropical place – but at least it keeps my head’s temperature under 37C! I checked its manual recently and I found out that it has an “ionization” feature. I don’t know how it works or if I ever need that. But personally, I would say a regular stand fan could easily outperform this trendy electric fan. It has an LCD display though but it doesn’t work anymore (what a shame).

Stereo Speakers
My stereo speakers (JBL Platinum Series) are few of the best things I have to cream off the boredom of the day. I bought this ancient relic four years ago at SOS (surplus store) and still working well – not! The left speaker recently had problems. I don’t hear any sound from it and it needs to be shaken to start. I am already expecting the death of this remarkable device. What I am dreaming now is to have a 5.1 surround speakers system (Altec Lansing? Creative?), but it’s still expensive for me.

Laptop
Yeah, it’s where my current life flows. Without it, I don’t know what to do (or how to spend my time) in a day. Since I was small, I’ve been so inclined with computers and video games, and until now, I still am. My old XP computer is now being used by my brother who now exhibits a clear affinity to computer science. My laptop is my only portal to the world and the greatest tool for me. It lets me unleash my computer skills, provides adequate resources for me to be productive, and freaking awesome. This site has been created from scratch on this laptop, along with other things. Its specs and performance have been featured on the Vista-related post I published earlier this month.

Other than work, my laptop serves best in providing me entertainment. Thanks to our slow Internet connection, it takes up to 20 hours to download a 700 MB movie. I got a few gigs of music that I listen all day. I want to express the deepest gratitude to the one who provided this to me – you have a big room in my heart.

Plastic Chair
I can truly say that the plastic chair I am using everyday in my workplace is probably the most stupid chair I ever had. Guess what, in the middle of my job, especially when I am very eager to be more productive than usual (like when I am inspired), it splits up and I almost fall over! I don’t have any good chair around so until it’s usable I guess I can’t do anything but enjoy how I swing ‘till I fall.
