commit;

i was being a geek yesterday. doing my SQL work and in the process of inserting records into a table, something happened to my screen so i had to approach our DBA and ask about it. he went to my desk, looked at the screen and said, "hala ka..." so i got scared. then he said, "hindi ok lang yan. tawagin mo ako kapag may lumabas na # of records created." so i said, "thanks sir!" after a while it stopped and the line '# of rows created.' appeared. i called our DBA to check it out. he said, "okay na yan. i-commit mo na." ever since i started, i never did the commit; statement. kasi once commit; final na yun eh. i'm scared na baka mali gawa ko tapos commit ko na. so i typed 'commit;' pero could not press enter. the DBA asked me, "oh bakit ayaw mo pa i-commit?" i replied, "everytime i hear it kasi i get scared." he said, "sige okay lng yan." and so i did.

our DBA went back to his desk, faced me and said, "intrigahin lang kita peper. takot ka ba sa commitment?" he asked me in front of a teammate/friend. my friend laughed. i laughed and said, "actually..."

from 3pm onwards, i was contemplating on that question. was i really afraid of commitments? HA! maybe.
