Happy and excited

About what? ok I will give a clue. Its related to blogs and blogging. Will post it here soon

Boxing, Solar Eclipse atbp

I started boxing training this week. I feel great about it. Actually 3 weeks ago I tried it, but it was interrupted by my pharynx infection. So this week the official training starts and I hope this will be a regular activity from now on. For this month my target is 1 training per week. After 1 month I will try to increase this so that I can improve my stamina.

On that same day of boxing training, came another event: the solar eclipse. I have not seen it since its only partial eclipse in manila, but I have watched some of the actions in the net as well as in the television via the evening news.

On the atbp. topic. I'm excited about something. You'll hear more on this topic when I'm ready to share to all.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Angels and Demons and Ambigrams

Have you watched this movie?

Then you know what Ambigram is.

The word Illuminati was the first Ambigram shown in the movie and then the elements (Earth, Air, Water and Fire).

Want to know more? Then read this Free Ambigram post.

It was Fun

A senti post for Chartotem’s Blog. We were so excited when we opened CIC. I even blogged it here . It was really fun while it lasted. But we have decided that it must come to an end.

I’m listing some things that I will be missing (or already missing na):

1. The Free DOTA Games. With Raven, Ujinn, Imagina. Sometimes with AlecJonas, Jag, Ron, Mica, Aldrin, Eric and some other TIP boys. Batang Cubao spared some time to do some good games during the last day; I really cherish the game-time folks.
2. The semi-daily/nightly drive to QC Area, from Office or from home. The shortcuts in Tuazon/Project 4 Area. The traffic in Aurora/Anonas intersection. Dropping off Kamote at EDSA.
3. The warm greetings of Liza. She never misses to greet me whenever I arrive there or if she is already leaving after her shift. Thanks Liz! I know our paths will cross again, and we will always be here to help you whenever we can.
4. Weekly PC Scanning and random PC troubleshooting schedules with Kamote. The troubleshooting of minor “infections” is really a thrill. Thanks also to Kamote.
   
5. The Lugaw and Goto from Molave. Great food and very affordable. The tinapay from Julie’s and the kamote fries. Forget about Jollibee, Chowking and Mcdo, that’s very common.
   
6. The parking. Manong Tanda, Gomez and Danny. I’ll visit you some time.
7. I will add other stuff in the future. Too much senti na today :)
   

No Regrets. We will cherish the memories. And will never forget the lessons learned.

Time to move on to the next chapter of our lives.

And lastly, My Thanks to Raven! I love you so much.

Farm Town Tips

I'm into this FaceBook Farm Town game. Raven introduced the game to me last week. It was good and entertaining. Don't know how long will I keep on playing it but who knows? If you are also playing this game and want to know some tips kindly visit my Farm Town Cheats post. Have fun and Enjoy the game!

Happy Birthday to me :)

Last week I celebrated my birthday!
Raven cooked some spag and succulent rosemary chicken on my day. Yummy! I can't get hold off the pic taken from Raven's new camera. Remind me next time Chartotem and I will update this post with the food image.
Raven, Ujinn, Mama, Kuya Kent, Alecthedrummer visited me. I did not do some massive invites, but anyone who remembered me on my day is very much welcome to my handaan.

The next day, my officemates threw in a surprise. It was a good setup. SJM having a serious convo with me and then they sang happy bday and brought in a cake with a candle.


Thanks Guys and Gals! I'm really touched :)
I will try my best to be kinder to all of you this year :D

T'was a busy week. A happy busy week!

One year older! One year wiser!
And I thank God for all the blessings!!!

Senate Hearing

Do we really need to have all this Senate Hearing on every trivial issues? Oh well, elections are near so I guess media mileage is everything now.
Good thing that there are some interesting scenes in the hearing (read Abner Afuang) Nice water splash there! hehe!

Back in Manila

I'm back in Manila last Saturday. That was one long flight. IAD (Washington Dulles) -> LAX (Los Angeles) -> GUM (Guam) -> MNL (NAIA)

In NAIA Terminal 2 they have some checking for flu-inflicted passengers. I will post some pics of the DOH banner and the DOH flu check form in the future.

Remind me to write on how Asians are so paranoid about the H1N1, the East Coast "impersonal" approach and other wacky adventures there.

To the East Coast

My West Coast tour will end soon. I will have a short stint at the east coast for some trainings. This will be my first time in the east coast, so I'm kinda excited pa. But I miss my Raven and I miss Pinas na.

Hopefully I'll have no issues with the flu thing.

Pacman and Hitman: Pacquiao wins by TKO

Well the title is my own wish and prediction. Period.

I hope Manny will win. And then the big-mouthed Mayweather Sr. will shut up, and Coach Roach will be vindicated :) Seriously, The Pacman trained hard for this fight, and I hope the Hitman trained hard too. So may the best boxer win na lang!

I will be watching it on PPV (sosyal), and may update my Pacquiao Hatton results site

Go Manny Pacquiao! Mabuhay ka!

Happy Birthday Moms!!!

Happy Birthday! I love you so much!

Here is some ice cream for you :*

Congrats to Angela Sigrid, valedictorian (may pinagmanahan :D)

Satire daw

There is this journalist from Hongkong who recently made some racial slur.

But hold on—even the Filipinos? Manila has just claimed sovereignty over the scattered rocks in the South China Sea called the Spratly Islands, complete with a blatant threat from its congress to send gunboats to the South China Sea to defend the islands from China if necessary. This is beyond reproach. The reason: there are more than 130,000 Filipina maids working as $3,580-a-month cheap labor in Hong Kong. As a nation of servants, you don’t flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter.

His name is Chip Tsao. Some people are saying its satire. A lot of people are clamoring for some public apology.

If you want to know more details on his issue, kindly visit this Chip Tsao article.

Insomnya

Agahan ko sa hapon,
Tanghalian sa gabi,
Hapunan sa madaling-araw
Insomya.....

I promised Raven that I will research for the lyrics of this song played on the first set of the Eraserheads Concert 2009. If I remember it correctly, it was the 1oth song, vocals by Raymund. Nice song :)

Insomya
Eraserheads

Paggising ko sa hapon
Diretso na sa banyo
Haharap sa salamin, shet
Kamukha ko na ang syota mo
Dehins na lang maliligo
Wala rin lang tulo
Sisilip sa ref, naghahanap,
Naghahanap, naghahanap

(Chorus)
Agahan ko sa hapon,
Tanghalian sa gabi,
Hapunan sa madaling-araw
Insomya (4x)

Pagdating ng hatinggabi
Magbabasa na ng diyaryo
Manunood sa TV
Ng kung anu-ano-ano
Pagdating ng ala-una
Pahinga naman muna
Makikinig sa radyo
Sa AM, sa FM, at SW

(Chorus)

Pagsapit ng alas tres,
Kalam na ang sikmura
Punta ako sa 7-11 ingat lang sa pigs
CR muna sa Wendy's,
Score na rin ng gin
Wala nang trapik
Andami-dami-dami-daming adik!
Alas sais na ng umaga
Hindi pa rin inaantok.
Nakagat ko nang lahat ng lamok,
Hindi pa rin inaantok
Ubos na rin ang gin,
Ang ganja,
Ang sigarilyo
Ubos nang lahat ng bisyo
Gising nang kapitbahay ko

Agahan ko sa hapon,
Tanghalian sa gabi,
Hapunan sa madaling-araw
Insomya (8x)

Zohan, Watchmen and Fixing the Master Feeder

My weekend activities:
Saturday.
Just stayed at home and fixed my blog feed. Its my biggest blog booboo to date and I got little time on the weekdays to fix it. I did some trial and error and found some plugins doing the mess.
Watched part of the Zohan movie.

Sunday.
Watched the Zohan movie in the PC. Together with Raven this time. Funny movie. I like it since its Adam Sandler. Unlike Click this one is a lighter mood movie. I just don't like the "buffering" thing of Raven's channel :)

Went out to TriNoma. Had dinner with Raven's friends-previous online officemates at Dencio's. Common topic over the dinner is blogging and SERPs and optimization. Their ex-boss was the pulutan :)

Bought gas stove-burner, the one in the house needs some replacement. Same Brand. Matibay talaga Standard :)

Tried TriNoma cinema 2. Picked Watchmen the movie. The cinema chairs are squeaky :)

March 7: Eraserheads Reunion Concert 2009 etc.

Last week, Raven and I went to Mall of Asia to watch what??? Eraserheads Concert 2009 of course.



We parked inside the mall, and behold: SM Mall of Asia have installed a hi-tech infra-red activated parking light indicator. We knew that the concert may take long so we took some snacks at El Pollo Loco (not a good experience). We then went to the concert grounds and met some friends.

More on this concert details kindly visit Eraserheads Concert 2009 experience

Watching the concert is really fun. Sulit na Sulit! It's like we won the Philippine Lotto jackpot prize.

We can't wait for the Concert CD and DVD :) I'll post details on this as soon as I get them!

Philippine Lotto, PCSO Lotto

I'm not a big fan of lotto. My Mama and Papa is :)
The biggest they have won is P500 I think, for getting 4 numbers, hehe!
Me? I think I won 20 pesos for getting 3 numbers in the 6/42 game before.

Last week the jackpot for the Super Lotto is huge! 340 Million Pesos! Wow!
We even tried to buy a ticket but the line is long and we have other urgent things to do that time.

I recently found some useful information on Philippine Lotto. Feel free to view it if you are interested.

Hope it helps!
