    31... yes, really.

    Educational Institutes:
    Loyola CSS '95
    Sheridan College '97 (General Business- Retail Management)
    Sheridan College '00 (Human Resource Management)
    Automotive Training Centre '06 (Service Advisor)

    Work/ Career:
    Full time: Citrix Systems- Territory Manager- Ottawa/ Federal Government
    Part time: Fido Solutions- Sales Rep
    Part time: CAMH (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health)- Neurogenetics Research

    Why did you choose Mazda?
    Honestly, it was not my first choice. I was going for a Civic coupe, but with a baby on the way, I wanted a sedan and a friend of mine convinced me to at tleast check out Mazda. I'll admit that I was pleasantly surprised. I was going to walk away though if I couldn't get the white on black combo.....

    What previous rides have you owned?
    1. 'xx Plymoth Reliant (3 weeks)
    2. '94 Cheverolet Cavalier Z22 (8 yrs)
    3. '91 Honda Accord EX (2yrs)
    4. '92 Honda Civic Hatchback DX (2yrs)
    5. '00 Chrysler Intrepid (8 mths)
    6. '01 Toyota Rav4 (2.5 yrs... CURRENT)
    7. '96 Acura EL (10 mths)
    8. '92 Honda Prelude S (6 mths)
    9. '07 Mazda3 GT Sedan (10 mths... CURRENT... for now... hehe)

    16 years of driving-> 9 cars

    Do you have any hobbies?
    Love basketball, although I can no longer play like I use to. Back surgery has limited my playing ability. I follow many different sports, but I just can't play alot of them like I use to. The import scene is high on my list as well.

    What's a typical Friday/ Saturday night for you?
    Well, since I'm married and have a 3 month old daughter, I'm usually in bed by 11:00pm. I'll admit, there is a part of me that still misses going out with the boyz to Warehouse, IT nightclub, Jet nightclub, the Mix, MFN, etc..... but every now and then I make it a point to hit up Rack n' Wack on Queen St. downtown.

    Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
    Hopefully by that time I'll have my 2nd child and sell my condo and move into a town house. Not sure if I'll still be with Citrix.... but who knows with job security these days.

    How would you rate the following of importance to you?
    (finance, friends, education, family, job security)

    1. family
    2. finance
    3. job security
    4. friends
    5. education

    Describe yourself in 3 words.
    joker, polite, and pogi... hahaha (it's a Filipino thing)

    Name 3 goals you have yet to achieve.
    - owning a house (townhouse will do)
    - 3some (yes, with 2 girls.. haha), yet I doubt that will happen at this point
    - slam dunk a basketball on regulation height

    Any last shout outz?
    Everything happens for a reason. I never regret anything I do, but i will deal with the consequences. What ever does not kill you can only make you stronger. I completely believe in karma!!!!!

    Yes I was mistaken. KoukiDC5 revived this thread, and not Tizmee24, but it was more about the fact that Tizmee24 has been making a lot of useless posts lately. At the time I thought this was another one of those. There was no need to turn this into something more. This thread is for p-o-g-i's spotlight, and that's all.

    I've opened this back up but I don't want to see any posts that don't relate to p-o-g-i's sick ride.

    So, I'm not sure how much of bad form it is to bump such an old thread, but I was lurking and thought it would be neat to ask p-o-g-i about this thread.

    You posted this in Feb of 2008. It's been about 4 and a half years since you posted this.

    [QUOTE=p-o-g-i;262262]Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

    hahahahaha....... Wow, I forgot all about this.

    Well, for those inquiring minds......

    Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
    Hopefully by that time I'll have my 2nd child and sell my condo and move into a town house. Not sure if I'll still be with Citrix.... but who knows with job security these days.

    Well, I've moved 2x since the condo (to a townhouse, then to a freehold linked townhouse).
    I've since left Citrix, and have worked for Compugen Inc. the last 2+ years as a Microsoft Consultant / Software Sales.



    Name 3 goals you have yet to achieve.
    - owning a house (townhouse will do) (check )
    - 3some (yes, with 2 girls.. haha), yet I doubt that will happen at this point (hahaha.. yeah right)
    - slam dunk a basketball on regulation height (hahaha... yeah right)

    What department did he work in? What was his role.

    Compugen has since moved to a new building on Via Renzo Dr., which is just off Leslie.... BETWEEN MAJOR Mac and Elgin Mills.
