And so it's time to move on. A false-positive attack site listing on Google/Firefox/Blogger, recent personal crises, and this my emerald year set the stage for the jump to the Wordpress application installed in my domain server. Previous posts have been imported, a simple yet complex template chosen, and here we go musing, deriving, non-conforming, and idealizing again. I usually stick to

it's been a little worse this week having to skip work for three days to nurse a fever and when one is alone in bed with sleep not setting in, there's nothing else to do but think and reminisce; and too much thinking or too much alone time is never recommended when nursing a broken heart. on the other hand, thinking about everything that happened, piecing all the puzzling pieces together may be

Eat and be merry! Christmas. For you'll never know if you'll continue to be happy... New Year. Or you don't have money to eat out and your fridge is stocked with only water, maybe some ice. Ice baybeh. Enough of the corn! Here are places I've eaten at recently and which you may also want to check out. Or not. First up, Bigby's. Tried this resto back in Cebu.

love is a spirit, a god, a supernatural entity, a mystery, a state of mind which most need to define or explain so as to prove its actual existence. it can be through physical expression, emotional investment, conscious commitment, contractual agreement, or even shiny stones and metallic objects. however, as spirits, gods, supernatural entities, mysteries, and states of mind go, they are seldom

Stress, stress, go away, come again anoth- no, wait, stress don't come at all. Everyone wishes. And who am I to be granted that wish? Just a humble servant trying to do good for as many people as possible. No, seriously? No, seriously?!?! Well, I try my best...

Ok, so here's the tank which has been placed right outside the main door to our house. It's separated into two tanks, one for males and one for females (and the winning *prettiest* male). I still have yet to choose which male to put in there, I have a few candidates and am auditioning all of them for healthiest movement, color, and tail type.Here's the side for the females.

Can't discount others' hands. Again be careful- don't deal with people with dirty hands. On the other hand... well, it's your life to live.

So I got a couple of free overnight stays at Astoria and we used it for a special occasion early December... It was supposed to be a one-bedroom suite but we got upgraded to a two-bedroom suite instead. The lock system was "hi-tech"- first time I saw and used this kind of key-lock system using some sort of laser-light key. And upon entry, to the left was the dining room...To the front is the

I think I was driving along Makati Avenue when I came upon this... So now they have trucks for transportation, huh. The better to haul dozens of them out there. (Sign says: Pretty, cheap too)Speaking of trucks, I've seen trucks carrying live pigs going to the slaughterhouse but I guess now even the insides are sold and go maybe to a factory that produce sausages or those innards some people

How was my day? Was playing Fallout 3 til past 1AM so when I woke up at 6AM to get ready for my medical checkup, I still felt groggy. Anyway, I was only able to leave the house at 9:30AM because I needed to have the ahem sample. Arrived at Shangri-la mall past 10. Walked to Healthway and my next hour was spent giving samples and getting an X-ray, ECG (my first time), and pulling my pants down

I wrote Missin' Missin' You while I was in Boston in 2005. It's about person 1 losing person 2 who can't commit or is used to playing the field. Person 1 is a martyr type and would rather endure the pain just to be with person 2; however, things can still change and for person 1 it was for the better - person 1's eyes opened and the two parted ways. But once in a while, person 1 can't help

Since I was a bit busy with the boot-camp I was facilitating at work, I have not been able to send out an email announcing the CD's launch yet (I'll do that later tonight and tomorrow) so I took the opportunity of being in front of 30 or so people to talk about the charity project. At the end of the class, I took the microphone and relayed how this CD came about. And then I played the first

I wrote More Than I Let You Know just this June. It's about person 1 and person 2 celebrating their first anniversary last July 2. At first I thought wow after writing so many bitter/bitter-sweet songs, I can write something more sweet than bitter. But sadly, one interpretation was that the song wasn't as positive as I had thought it was. And after listening to it for a couple of months, I

Oh no! I made a mistake on cd version C! All the printed inserts up to now and 90 version C discs have May Rivera on track 5 when it should be Ryan Arguillo's turn. Apologies to Ryan Arguillo. Anyway, the next batch of insert print-outs and cd burning have been corrected so... here's the screenshot of the new batch's insert:

I wrote Learn To Let You Go in 2005. It's about person 1 getting it on with person 2. They shouldn't be getting it on at all but they do. They sort of fall in love with each other though they know it'll never last. Maybe in some other lifetime they were meant to be together. Just not this lifetime. So person 1 tries desperately and painfully to let go...This song along with tracks 3 and 4

There will be three versions of the charity cd: versions A, B, and C. Below is the track listing for each, taken from the back side of the cd insert.Ryan Arguillo, May Rivera, and Michael Carino are all from Accenture. Jerwin Santos is from Soluziona. They all have their own versions of No Goodbyes. I even mixed Ryan's and May's solos into the first track of HGLv.C. Each cd version has a

I wrote No Goodbyes in 2001. It's about person 1 having a really big crush, maybe bordering on love-like feelings, on person 2, but can't really reveal it because of being shy or scared and knowing that nothing can become of these feelings anyway; and so person 1 just resolves to forget about person 2, but not without encapsulating the feelings into a ditty first. Of all my songs, this song

Love writing! Between high school and college, wrote concepts for musical plays. In college, a high school batch-mate and I collaborated on what was supposed to be a sung-through musical. We only got to finish the first of two acts of Esther (based on the Bible's Book of Esther). From that first act, Noel Miranda has his inspirational song, Free, while I have the love duet Never Knew The

From now until the end of the year, we'll see truck loads of parties and events that have people donning costumes. Just this morning a friend in California asked me my opinion about two ideas they had for their Halloween party. They were thinking about going as the Desperate Housewives or as mail-order-brides (wedding dresses made from envelopes and packaging material possibly. The photo below

No, no, no, it wasn't THAT funny at all. It was just... nice. War movie in a comedy movie. Nice that Stiller and Black and Downey Jr. could all get together for this movie. Nice effort all around but it wasn't laugh-out-loud funny. I think I snickered once or twice. I was surprised with what happened to the war movie's director though. And I didn't right away think that the war hero would

I'll just go ahead and rate this with 3 stars out of 5. It was an ok movie to pass away the time but not really something you'd want to go out for. Nice graphics and effects.

September is the start of the Christmas season here in the Philippines. At work, September is the start of the fiscal year. A new beginning. And lots of stuff to look forward to like gift giving in December, bonuses to buy the gifts with, parties, food, and hopefully we also look forward to opportunities doing good not just for ourselves. Schitz, this is going to be preachy but hey I don't do it

When I rolled-off from my 5-year-plus project last September 2007, I was told to wait for a new project I would get to handle. This project was unfortunately delayed and was expected to materialize November of 2007. In the meantime, I could help out with other things and take a little rest as well. That

I think this service launched in July. I read about it and was able to get an invite code then a week later got my umobile sim. That was fast! So I unearthed an old cel to put the sim into and tried to call my globe number. It connected but my Globe phone couldn't identify the number. Ooh, some people might take advantage of this to play pranks on their friends! Good thing, sim-holders only

It's been a wonderful summer (end-of-summer here in the Philippines) for movies. First, we get the movie adaptation of the musicale who took a lot of the songs of ABBA and weaved a story with them. Applause, applause! Meryl Streep did a wonderful job, as usual. I really like her. The movie was fun. And that's all. 3.25 stars out of 5. Crazy fun! But then the Dark Knight came. With the

Feb. 20, 2007Reading Marc Buckingham's book on managing, leading, and succeeding, entitled "the one thing you need to know," I came upon a section that discussed the one thing you need to know about (a) happy marriage. It was just a parallelism to what he's going to tackle in the book but it had a very strong point in itself. It can also be applied to life, in general. And it supported some of

So I'd like to thank the biggest inspiration I've had the past year... by a song :) It was 2005 since I last wrote a song and I don't know when the last time was that I wrote a song that's not a bitter-sweet or really-bitter love song.

Go watch Wanted now! Starring Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman. 4.5 out of 5 stars!!! Wow, and I wanna get the comic book from where this started... Not since V for Vendetta, I think, did I really, really like a movie. And this one is also a comic book adaptation... Hmm... Oh, Stardust was good too but not wow good.

We saw this last Saturday night, June 21st. It was pretty good. Most of the cast held their own although the main characters I felt weren't that consistent in their voices. But considering that these particular folks were in charge of two characters each, they can get tired over the run of the musical, so... The human characters were not as engaging as the puppet characters. And the rendition

The dinner was just exquisite! Tons of food to choose from! Food from all around the world! Great setting, great service, and the drinks are free. Well, you pay a hefty sum though. But it's oh so worth it, specially if you're celebrating an anniversary or monthsary or a graduation or a proposal even. This place is highly recommended!

First off, an adventure with a septagenarian (sc). The film as a whole sure looked the part of an 80's franchise. Maybe the film stock they used was 20 years old too? Indiana now discovers he has a son- that Shia guy from Transformers- and saves everyone's asses from a weird Russian lady who has this alien fetish.A couple scenes were reminiscent of National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets but

I don't like driving behind smoke-belchers. Why are there any still? Some people must not be doing their jobs... I think they're hidden somewhere where they can just pounce on color-coding violators. Back to the smoke-belchers... I especially dislike getting Stella (my car) fogged because it sticks to her body and seeing as I don't have her washed more than once a week, children playing along

The cars went fast enough. The colors and costumes were psychedelic. The effects were impressive. But Speed's younger brother and his monkey stole the movie. The twist wasn't that shocking. And there were parts in the middle that I almost dozed off.Which reminds me I have to buy wheels for my car, Stella. And I was thinking of buying larger wheels than the standard size but then I would

I'm not a Marvel Comics fan, am more into DC Comics; however, this film rocked. Robert Downey Jr. and Jeff Bridges were great in their characters. Gwyneth's character could have been someone else.The computer effects dominated the film and was reminiscent of Transformers. The various versions of the Iron Man suit and Downey's testing them were very nicely done. Oh, and Stan Lee's cameo as a

A little over a month ago, my sister's boss gave her a dog, a 3-year old chihuahua named Heart. Heart Evangelista. Isn't she cute? Yes, the dog. She's given birth twice, I heard. Yes, the dog.Here's where she sleeps, her duck-shaped doggie bed. She's real friendly, too friendly in fact that she got dog-napped last Friday.

When you have some time to spare... maybe, just maybe, you'll take out your video camera and try to sing again. Maybe you'll decide on Elliott Yamin's and Kyla's hit and record yourself singing... And then, you'll upload it to youtube and to your blog. And here it is. Don't hate, wasn't really feeling too good today :(

So I'm no longer in Cebu. But before I left, I was able to visit a very beautiful place called Plantation Bay. It was getting dark, and still the sights were awe-inspiring. The sky looked like a painting. This was a place to go and have your honeymoon or an anniversary celebration. Aww.It's a big place. The visitor is frist greeted by a large open-air lobby. And from there, everything

Sometimes you really have to be tough to do what you want. A lot of times others barely understand. That's pretty lonesome. But it's part of being heroic, overcoming difficulties for the things that are really worthwhile.

So across the hotel where I was staying at in Cebu was this bakeshop that had a fantastic cheese and garlic loaf. My co-workers whom I had let in on my find loved the loaf as well.Postrio, its name was. And it served bread and cookies and cakes and coffee and pasta and burgers too.I only tried their breads and the ones I tried were pretty good. Here's their product display.And their poster of

According to the website, they're hiring for a Megamall branch. That's good news because if the prices would be the same to the Cebu restaurant, then this would truly be an affordable TGI-Friday's alternative.Look at the ceiling... amazing! And these hanging lamps-- ok, looks a little grade-five-project-ish.And their table setting...And their menu and by-line...And here's where I apologize for

Another Christ the King Church this time at Green Meadows. I caught the rosary just before the mass proper and people were just beginning to fill the seats. My spinster grandmother who died late last year used to have me and whoever is in the household that time say the rosary everyday. Then there were only three mysteries. Now there are four, not to mention the mystery of why people get

Here're wall decor for the restaurant.And nice lighting. The balloons were a little looney though, I think. Was half expecting them in animal shapes.But the food was "Aight, dawg."

During my temporary assignment in Cebu, I chanced upon a bunch of heroes who know what it is to make sacrifices just to be able to do good.

Time for an outing... About an hour from the city is...This would be truly amazing...if it were true. Dolphins swimming up to a mountain resort? What do you think they are, salmon?!The pool is inviting though...And if you want to make a splash...Don't slap the monkey!You in for birds? A bird sanctuary building adorned with butterflies. And once inside, less butterflies, more live birds like

Hmm, does the title make sense? Anyway, for Cloverfield, I've read some nasty reviews that it's trying to do a Blair Witch Project and that people coming out of the cinemas are overwhelmed with nausea. The hand-held camera style lends very well to the story, in my opinion. The pace is gripping and much like a horror film, the characters dies one by one. Also, not placing the big momma creature

A shot of Golden Prince from my office. It's 7 minutes and 770 steps away.I still have a microwave and a bigger refrigerator. And now, a sink!My "entertainment center."And the bed. Two single beds pushed together to make one bigger, un-bouncy bed.

Breakfast before going to the airport, January 6. Free refrigerator magnet, yay!Table top.Wall racks and some satisfied customers...Yummy chicken. Oh, and they have great cakes and muffins! I didn't like their cookies though.Banapple is located along Katipunan Avenue after the "Labor" hospital and before Katips and Biteclub if you're coming from Ateneo.

They delivered on the same day I took my clothes to them. Nice.A cute yellow orange house.A coffee place. Hmm, looks faintly familiar.A bakeshop.

So I was in Cebu when mom called and said that I had a bunch of mail at home in Manila. She asked if she could open them because they could contain something important. When she mentioned that I received something from the Coca-Cola Foundation, I told her I wasn't expecting anything from Coca-Cola and that she could open it. It was then when she read to me that I had won a stuffed collectible

Going to the office. It was raining a bit. The fare was P6 only. And the local term for fare was the same here as it is in Bicol where my parents are from. Ple-te. I'm not sure if I'm spelling it right. But at least, you should be able to pronounce it correctly. Ok, here: Plee-tee.Jeepney routes have a code. I rode the 14-D jeepney. And to go home, I just have to ride the same numbered

And we're hopeful things will get better and better. Cheers!To everyone who greeted via text, email, ym, friendster, etc... Happy New Year to you all!

Last Dec. 5, as part of their '12 Days of Christmas' promotion, the morning radio show, Good Times With Mo, gave away a laptop to the listener who would be able to guess the place that they would call. Somewhere out there. Where in the World is Carmen Santiago? So whoever they called gave some clues, and the DJ's did too. I just got out of the shower when I heard DJ Mo said anyone can use the

An alternative dining experience if you're into getting served smoking hot steaks. Steak Plus at Metrowalk is a small corner restaurant that serves meat. Enough said.And before snapshots of the food, here's their hanging ornament that gives the whole place a rustic, western, dim, dusty, and dingy feel.But you forget the surroundings once you're served the meat. If you're really hungry. Ah,

Merry Christmas, everyone! Well, not everyone. Everyone who celebrates Christmas. Here's a nice little , not-so-little Christmas tree over at Rockwell in Makati. No, it's not almost as tall as the buildings behind it...Merry Christmas to my loved ones, and my loved one, and my friends and officemates, and those who I met in the course of 2007 and those who've visited this blog and my website,

And so it ends. Another 9-set Whether vain. And looking back at the 32 years of my life, I still feel I'm very blessed. And I'm still out to be able to, in my own little way, share the blessings I have received. "Why throw even one starfish back to the sea? There are hundreds of others on the shore - you can't throw all of them back in. - It matters for that one." Do what good I can, yeah.

Attended a conference and more than a hundred of us were booked two in a room at the Holiday Inn at Clark in Pampanga. It was around 2 hours bus ride from Makati. The rooms were small, cozy, and looked exactly like any other double-occupancy room (I only saw the insides of three rooms).From some of the rooms, you can see the pool and poolside. There's a pool table too but it's further to the

An even worse time this set. In one picture I look drunk and on the way to the Conference in Clark, Pampanga, Sunday the 25th, I receive news that my dear spinster grandmother (my dad's aunt) who took care of my dad and my sister and I when we were growing up passed away in Bikol. I didn't attend the wake or the funeral. I was confused. I didn't know what was going on. This was the first

It's still a big tree but not as big as years ago when German Moreno's That's Entertainment was still around. I've just dated myself. Hee-hee.

Yes, I noticed it. In the first nine sets, I think I looked less stressed out. I don't know. Yeah, I can still smile in my situation but inside me, I'm stressed. Who wouldn't be stressed in my situation- my 5-year project ends in August, and up to now I don't feel I really belong anywhere yet? The project I'm supposed to handle keeps pushing back. The latest news is that it's delayed for,

Pretty affordable especially when eating in groups and ordering their samplers (photos below). The staff were friendly, even the owner (I think), who decided to bring out the Christmas decor and begin decorating. :)With samplers, you can choose one type of noodle and three types of sauces. This one has seafood.This one a mix of spicy tomato-based sauces and a cream-based sauce. Here's a shot of

Tender Bob's @ Greenhills Promenade! I remember like it was yesterday... I was still working in Makati and Greenbelt 3 had just opened and they had a Food Court the same level as the Cinema ticket counter...And my officemates and I would go there for lunch and we would, half the time, buy food from Tender Bob's... It had the longest line of people and their meals were affordable, reasonably

Went on training for a week. And when I got back, stress all over! I had to scramble at anything and everything I could work on just to keep the depression stemming from feeling like I'm in work limbo from taking over me or pulling me down-doo-bie-doo-down-down. So I act like a jolly camper making slide presentations and presenting them, and supervising a bunch of newbie programmers, and

Good thing there were fast food places. But didn't go there. The view of the volcano was excellent!

Along a strip of restaurants is a place that's like an outdoor food court, sort of, well, not really... Maybe there were 2 restaurants there and then a couple of small food shops from where you can order burgers and ice cream, and there's Cafe Breton too.The lake can't be seen at night. There are lights far out maybe from towns that line the mountain ridge whose shores kiss the lake. So

Late lunch on November 1... Here's their menu...And their viewing deck... great view of the lake and the volcano... It was a nice sunny day too...Hanging lights and fan...Onto the food! The baby back ribs were tender and moist. Their fries were too small yet fiery hot.The verdict: the only thing spectacular was the view; the food was ok but way too pricey in my opinion and speaking as a

So guys from my batch at SVI where I used to work and I met again for dinner this time at Megamall. We all met at the Food court but finally decided on Mannang just beside their sister-restaurant, Mann Hann.We ordered sisig.Their iced tea is delicious and real lemon-y.We also ordered some squid.And tofu.And this bacon-wrapped something (I forgot).We also ordered some liempo for the late-comer.
