RSA 2007 at San Francisco

Day 1
Arrived at SFO and went to Serrano Hotel in downtown San Francisco.
Had dinner with Trenders in Hooters Fishermans Wharf. Kasama namin is Rica sa Hooters :). Bought some Hooters shirt for me and my moms :)
Day 2
Registered at the Moscone Center.
Since the session will be in the afternoon, pasyal pasyal muna kame San Francisco Wharf.
Seen Alcatraz Island. Viewed the seagulls and the seals at Pier 39. See the Queen Mary 2, the largest (steam) ship that was docked in the bay area for its cruise something, sabi sa news 180K usd pax daw cost ng isang tour.
They had clam chowder on sourdough bread, but since kakakain ko pa lang sa Inn n Out burger, I skipped the chowder. Me next time pa naman. Babalik ako dun for the chowder.
Day 3
Seen Bill Gates in his Keynote Speech together with Craig Mundie at 8am. Wow what a crowd! Laki kase ng hall kung saan nag-talk si Bill Gates, parang concert hall e, siguro mga 10000+ tao dun sa hall. Medyo nakakaantok yung talk nila, kase wala naman bago, pero seeing of the richest man in the world will keep you awake.
Shook hands with Eugene Kaspersky. Eugene did some talk on the latest malware threats. Standing Room, umupo na lang kme sa gitna ng aisle. OK ang accent nya russian na russian :p Kidding aside, naaliw talaga ako sa kanya, kaya after ng talk nakipagkamay ako, sabi ko its a pleasure to meet you here in person, inacknowledge naman nya me. Sana after the shake-hands makuha ko powers nya para sa detection rankings mwehehe!

Cebu: January 2007

To celebrate our first year anniversary, Maui and I went to Cebu. It was an adventurous trip. The city was busy preparing for the APEC Summit and the sinulog festival. We visited the Magellan's Cross, Basilica de Santo Niño, Magellan's Marker and Lapu Lapu Monument. We ate lunch in Sutukil near Magellan marker, super busog kame, para syang dampa, turo mo lang yung mga isda at seafood na gusto mo, sabihin mo kung anong luto then dyarannn... fiesta. We also had some great ice cream in Shangri-la Mactan. We brought home some nice danggit, dried mangoes and lechon cebu.

Start na kme ng plan na namin kung san kame punta next year...

Year 2006

I thought about this topic sometime in January. Had some free time this week so here are some of the memorable (and not so memorable) events that top my 2006 list.

The Good...
1. Our Wedding. Yes! Of course its the Main Event. Maui and I are very happy on our wedding day. We shared it with our loved ones, our family and friends. I will write a blog entry on the preps and stuffs that we did sometime this month.
2. Married Life. Masaya, parang bahay-bahayan :) with all the responsibilities. Oo minsan me away, pero na-reresolve naman. I love you moms! :*
3. Malta. May 2006. My first trip to Europe. Speaker ako sa EMEA Tech U. It was an exciting trip. Manila-Dubai-Malta. Great Airlines (Emirates).
The Bad...
4. DOTA. Hehe bad ba yun? Dami dota topics dito sa blog ko di ba? Well nde naman bad yun basta done in moderation. This is a fun game that help me know more about my peers in office, help me get closer with my family.
5. MU: Returns. Hehe after some months of hibernation, I returned to Titan. This time with Vio, Ujinn, Eunice and other friends.
and The Ugly...
6. Prudentialife: I usually don't put ugly topics in Chartotem's blog but past is past, me closure na e. This really made the 2006 not looking good. Deceptions, malpractice, incompetence. I hope that we all learned our lessons here.

6 lang muna, pag me naalala pa ako add ko na lang...
Overall, 2006 is a good year. I do hope that 2007 we will all have more blessings.
