Finally, I managed to catch up with some leftover jobs that I paused in the week before my 1st attempt Few jobs still pending, but it is supposed to be due on time so far.

I have checked the viabilty for my next attempt. It happen to be mid February 2007. Fortunately/ unfortunaltey??? I have no idea.

Several reasons that I have to put this on hold for almost 3 months:

• Financial: I must recoup the funding and the only possible time frame is by Feb 2007. I have put this in as 'plan B' and I have avoided to do 'plan B'. But ... what can I say
• Several other commitments: during this period, several activites are happening, and I can't avoid this just for the sake of preparing my CCIE lab next attempt

I have not lost my fighting spirit as yet I can feel the number and I really feel the urge to accomplish this to have my CCIE journey officially started.

The fact that if I could only be a CCIE by 2007, it doesn't matter. Even though it would be delayed by 18 months from my original plan

I will surely fight to earn this credentials and I will surely get it

Last line: I am curious on how to become CCIE proctor. Currently I am engaged with one Cisco Network Academy and many students have found me very helpful (and cruel) in guiding them obtain their Cisco certifications credentials. If anyone of you reading this and know a friend/ relative that is a CCIE proctor, kindly email me. I would love to pursue the path to be CCIE proctor.
