Happy 8th Raven!!!

Happy 8th Raven!!!

I am really glad that the day went great; blessed, fun and fulfilling. I love the church, it was really peaceful there. The food was great and the cronuts was really a sweet surprise...

I know we gained some extra calories that day, but hey its our special day and it falls on our "diet" holiday.

I hope you liked the bracelet (or whatever you call it). And I hope you had fun too.

You know that words cannot express how much I love you, so I'll cut this post short soon. Just remember that I love you and I'll always will.

Happy 8th year Anniversary Moms!!!

Happy Birthday to me! 2013 edition :)

Yup! I celebrated my xxth bday a few weeks ago. We went to Vikings buffet in MoA. Raven arranged for the reservation and Cian, Meyn, Baroye and Ujinn joined us. I did some targeted attack against the steak, lamb and shrimps (swahe). I enjoyed their puto bumbong and brewed coffee too. Viking singing dudes also gave me this:

We really enjoyed our buffet and we we're so full that night! And we are planning for the next Viking's treat!!!

One year older. One year wiser. Thank God for all the blessings!!!

Trick or Treat

Unang Trick or Treat ko itong 2012. Hindi naman kase uso itong Trick or Treat na ito nung bata pa ako. Excited ako para ke Deylie. Pero mas excited yata ako dahil nga pers taym.

Galante ang ibang bahay, me naka-pakete pang mamahaling tsokolate at kendi. Yung iba ok lang naman, ilang pirasong ng kendi bawat bata OK na. Yung iba kinapos ng supply, maagang nagsarado ng pintuan.

Nakakapagod pala pag condo at building ang setup ng Trick or Treat. Dahil nga limitado ang elevator so mag hagdan ka pababa na parang fire drill lang.

Lahat syempre ng bata naka-costume. Me ibang bata na super handa. Me ibang naman simple lang (si Deylie at ang kanyang Knight/Yoda/Monk ay simple at practical para sa amin). Meron ding nagpapintura ng Spiderman, pero natutunaw na pintura dahil sa bawis at effort pagbaba ng hagdanan.

Konti lang ang namimigay na me costume. Idol ko si Kuyang naka-angry birds pillow kaya naman nung mamimigay na kame pumayag na rin ako mag maskara ng gorilya.

Maskara ng gorilya at mickey mouse t-shirt. Bagay di ba?

Me mga natakot na bata sa akin (kaya dapat mabait ako pag namimigay). Yung malalaki na bata naman eok lang. Me mga nagtatanong pa kung ano ang aking pangala (Gorilla Glass ang itawag mo sa akin). Pero mabenta kase me mga nagpapicture na para akong artista.

Masaya ba? Masaya kase kasama ko ang sila, ang aking pamilya.

Uulitin ko ba ito sa 2013? Bahala na. Nakakapagod kase yung pagbaba sa hagdan. Baka mamigay na lang ako ng kendi pero me kasamang costume at imporved acting na.
Abangan…

Long Weekends

First Saturday was the Dentist Day. It’s been months since we last visited the dentist. I’m glad that Raven pushed for this one day. Reminder to self: Feb 2013 is the next propy day and I need to sked the impacted wiz tooth.

Raven and I also watched Bourne Legacy after the dentist appointment. The movie was ok but my honest opinion is that it did not meet my expectation. I watched the other Bourne movies and I’m so used to Matt Damon doing a lot of traveling and jumping into lots of places and giving good action packed scenes. Don't get me wrong, I’m happy and excited to see the Manila scenes but really after having the “bitin” ending, I’m not sure if all the troubles in shooting in Metro (yah including the talent fees to the mirons and to gov’t agencies for closing several busy thoroughfares) was worth it.

Yes, BL was shot in Manila but having lived in the Metro for quite some time, you will see a lot of loopholes and sometimes it hard to reconcile that. The uncut version of the tooooot is kwela though!

First Sunday is homey day. We just sleep and sleep and do usual household chores and some pc game time too.

First Monday is Char fix day and Wii Day. I went to the automechanic to have Char fixed (alternator blues). Then I fetched Deyl, Roye-b and Meyn so that we can play wii at home. Raven cooked some spag at burgers. We ordered some pizza too. Super busog.

I believe Deyl really enjoyed the Wii session. Bowling aling aling and cycling. Btw, he now as a dedicated Mii.

First Tuesday is cleanup day and preps for the back to work day. I had char washed and inquired about detailing fees, and I need to budget and plan for this soon

***

Second Saturday and Sunday was mostly sleep, pc game mode. Don’t know I will post my new Huntard adventure here (maybe its more fitting at Broxicow). DSL failed us on Sunday so its early bed time for us that day.

Second Monday was mall day. Raven, Deyl, Roye-b and me went to Rob Magnolia. Hammy said he went there on the first weekend of the long holidays so Raven want to have some ice cream there. We ended up in Peppers Lunch and Tom’s world. Ice cream needed to be resched because of the long queue at Magnolia ice cream bar.

Robinsons Magnolia got big potential and if it will fill up with shops soon maybe that will be a usual go-to-mall place for us.

Til next update…

Foolish Games

So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

-Sun Tzu's Art of War

No this is not Jewel Kilcher's song in the 90's. But the game may really be foolish or maybe not. One thing for sure I believe I'm ready for the mind games now.

Let's bring it on...

Happy 5th Raven!!!

Bad boy me still went to the office even its our special day. I did not go to the office during the post-Christmas and pre-New year period so work stuff piled up for the 1st week of the year and I want to clear it out first.

We did go to a special place that evening. We dined and wined that night!!! The dinner was special one as we don’t usually go to that special steakhouse. And maybe it was made more special because of the red wine! I was uneasy at first sip (I don’t usually mix alcohol and food) but enjoyed sipping the wine at the end.


Happy 5th Raven! I love you so much!!!

Wrathgate

I was not expecting that WoTLK have some cinematics that will be triggered after completing quests. I knew about something about this Wrathgate when I was looking for something related to Varimathras. I am posting the video site courtesy of Youtube and Liljon94:



Some highlights of the video that I like:

• Alliance preparing to do battle. I learned afterward that the Human Leader was Bolvar Fordragon 
• Dranosh Saurfang and the Horde join in battle
• Dialog:
  


• Highlord Fordragon: I was wondering if you'd show up! 
• Dranosh Saurfang: I couldn't let the Alliance have ALL the fun today!


• Highlord Fordragon doing some soft talk to Arthas 
• Arthas comes out. He’s definitely grown taller and bigger now. With Frostmourne of course. 
• Dranosh Saurfang hates trashtalk, goes to battle and die in one blow. Frostmourne steals his soul 
• Forsaken (traitors) do kill share (KS) with their new plague. Putress on the lead. 
• Alliance, Horde, Scourge and even Arthas affected. 
• Red flight to the rescue. Bathes the scenery with fire. 
• Its great to see Alexstrasza and Korialstrasz in action (and after the video too

Its fun to do a replay :-)

Honestly I was sad to bring younger Saurfang’s armor back to his dad High Overlord Saurfang in Borean Tundra. But I was surprised that older Saurfang seems to have no emotions (so far), and Orcs valuing to honor above is really admirable (reminded me of Broxigar).


Will post some more adventure soon.
