Ondoy and Blog Action day

Monday, September 28, 2009

I haven't watched the news for a long time. The last thing I checked before leaving the apartment was my cellphone hoping to get to work on time. It was raining when I woke up at 7pm not unusual because it had rain a couple of days earlier and the sky was really heavy. I got back to sleep and woke up at 11pm only to find out the streets were flooded but I was glad we had tricycles ready. I didn't bring an umbrella so I walked the street almost wet. We're supposed to have a team building in Pansol or somewhere laguna but when I saw the streets at 10am I was completely shocked, Ondoy was worse than Milenyo. Ayala underpass were flooded and I saw people jumping over the fences just to get to the other street. I heard the flood went up to Burgendy in Buendia (no matter how hard the rain pours that street never experienced flood, not even during Milenyo). We managed to leave the office and pursue our team building at greenbelt, we had fun but the people in the streets werent. We had to drop one of our team mates in MRT but everyone was lined up from BDO (near SM) all the way to the MRT station. We passed Pasay road and to our dismay the street was flooded at least 3 buses were stranded. Ayala's out of buses, people outnumbered vehicles. An hour after my officemate got back and said there is no way he can catch a ride, people flooded Edsa and were desperately waiting for something to hop on.

I ended up sleeping in the office and woke up to render OT on my restday. When I went home at 11am the next day I was surprised to see Primo Rivera was nothing like a flooded area. It looked to me that it was a day after the fiesta, cups were everywhere, plastic of whatever junk food were all over well I'd say kudos to Makati despite roads under construction. Mola's flooded as ever, just like the infomercial "Ganyan kami sa Makati, konting ulan lang baha na".

So I stumble upon my teacher's blog and saw this. I visited the site, registered and here's my badge. Haven't been blogging for so long and a peaceful come back won't hurt. Hope you register too :) Go ahead click the picture below and decide.

What I received were:

1. A cute doll (what I love about it, the dress and it doesn't look ordinary). Neatly done and the color is really nice.
2. Classy and vintage-looking post card.
3. Sweets, my housemates loved them too :)
4. Finally, a pattern. Bigger project for me yeeyy..

I haven't been able to blog for a long time, been drowning myself with work lately but I received these three of weeks ago. THANK YOU J.

(The cute doll i'm talking about.)

The pattern and the postcard.

I apologize Sheryl for sending a late package. Thank you Caryn for letting me join this round. :)

Monday, July 06, 2009

Work's busy, life's fun, blogging has been set aside and I am almost done with exchange goodies online. Please pardon my tardiness Caryn :)

I don't normally abide the rules around me but just for the record if you wanna be my friend,

1. Let's not play "hi i'm your boss and you are just an ordinary I.T. girl so let's be professional at work." all the time.
2. Stop annoying me.

You know who you are pumpkin, let's not talk anymore.

As for the entire webhosting team moving to another center I'd say spare me the loneliness. I already missed them a lot and no more Makati chiggy's to witness our grudges and after shift drinking session.

Creative Swap

Tuesday, April 28, 2009

I am joining Caryn's creative swap for May/June. I am excited because one, this is my first time and 2 I have the chance to exchange creative goodies (as the project suggests^.^)

So here's a meme I have to post as guide my creative swap partner:

1. What kind of creative things are you into?
-I create bags, pouches, postcards. I love to stitch..stitch..stitch..and stitch.. =)

2. How would you describe your personal style? (girly, ethnic, modern, etc.)
- I am more of a modern type person not so much into kikay/girly stuff.

3. What are your favorite colors?
- I love green, it's my favorite color. I also like shades of brown, gray and black. I like earth colors. Not so much with blue or orange or pink. =)

4. What is one craft you would like to learn?

5. What other hobbies are you into?
-I am a wanderlust, i love to travel but when i'm at home i am learning new language (which I think would help me in my future travel). I also love to read anything. I get inspiration from various artist online or from my favorite magazine "ISH". I create websites, i love incorporating art with technology so I am more into designing webpages.

6. What items do you really wish you had right now?
-i wish i have a roundtrip ticket to Japan or vietnam... nah just kidding.. I wanna have a cute doll (made by my partner) or a stylish journal or notebook.

Davao is just perfect!

Monday, March 09, 2009

I don't write too much these days but I spend most of the time trying to figure out to finish my online store. It's been dead for months now. I feel so drain when I go home and I'd rather hug my pillows, sleep and dream for 8 hours to prepare myself to work. I don't do too much talking these days. As far as work is concern I am doing great. I am moving to I.T. and I've been waiting for it for three years. I didn't know moving is almost like breaking up after staying in the account for 4 years. I have been reading blogs and before I go to sleep I read a few chapters of my PAULA (I've been reading this for week) I can't even make halfway to it. I think it's a sad book. Carmen's leaving too, and that's sad. I have been drinking too much coke for the past days, I am not a fan. I haven't been drinking coke for months, I think it's a manifestation that I am sad, sad for a lot of reasons. I would want to travel abroad again, alone. I want to go to Bangkok alone and stay there for week. I love to walk and roam around Kangkok wearing short pants, shirt and flip flops. It feels so good busying myself in the sea of strangers even better staying in a low cost hotel with nothing much to do but sleep in an airconditioned room. I love Bangkok even though I can't understand their language, but I am learning that soon. I love sipping real red tea for 15baht, I love Tom Yam Bass, I simply adore Thailand. I can sense another trip to BKK in the Middle of this year, you betcha, I can do it alone again. =)

But I'm gonna tell you a fullfilling story. My Davao trip last week (Marc 1-3, 2009) with 7 of my friends from manila (6 first timers to set foot on Davao and Mindanao, 2 just had their first plane jitters and no one speaks bisaya but Heath and I). I told them that if it's gonna cost me 3K or more then I'll stay at my parents house and sleep there for 12 hours. Luckily it was a tight budget getaway. Our first day was a trip to Eden Nature Park. First night was spent at my parents house with Edel and Bulet, the rest stayed at Roadway Inn. Then an overnight stay at Blue Jazz, Samal Island. 1st dinner was at Jack's Ridge and I was glad he came. Like I couldn't deny the happiness I felt. I thought I had to beg but he made an effort I think the whole point of my visit was to see him. hehe. I saw mother, papa and I was so glad to see jini. We had a couple of hours talking about whatever things and I saw Achi on my first day there. Just the people I needed to see. We slept in a tent during our overnight stay at Samal it was really cool. When we woke up the next morning the water was so peaceful, I feel like swimming but I didn't. The combination of sun and the salty water isn't so good for me (even with sun block applied all over my body). But even so the day was great. The most wonderful part of my visit was that my mom didn't hate me. We parted with good hearts and I had to leave Davao with content. I soooo love it!

That's about it for my trips.

America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 has begun so I can tell I'm gonna have sleepless nights again! haha

weird things come to life

Yosi Break

While we were sharing our funny stories to our program director Car, Cash and Toni lit a couple of yosi then someone not far from where we're standing called my name. I was trying so hard to remember her face and I was staring long enough to remember her, thank you very much, my memory served me right. She was one of the webhosting peeps now wandering the streets of Ayala having her yosi break too. How are you doing Chimes? =)

GM diet

I think I have tried almost every diet possible to avoid getting super duper fat. I know I gain weight too fast and loose it too slow. So starting tomorrow Edel and I are to start a new diet called General Motors diet. No, eating motorcycle batteries and drinking gasoline is not part of it. You can read it HERE. So what I did I print a copy of the program then I posted it on our fridge for my daily reminder because you have to eat different types of food (including tomatoes - no opt out- hahaha). Looking at the list, it's a challenge but I think I can do it- it doesn't require me to eat meat so I am OK with it. To start the program right - you will expect to loose 7-10 pounds after 7 days- Bulet, Jennybabe and myself went to Mercury drug to check my weight. All we needed was 5 pesos then the machine printed the results after all the humiliation from an uber loud "please stand straight and avoid talking". Kulang na lang talaga sabihin nya "kung hindi sasabihin kong malakas tong weight mo". The result?

Weight: 132 lb./60kg

Normal Fat Index .... 17-24%
Normal Fat Mass ... 8.3 - 12.9 kg or 181 lb 4 oz - 281 lb 6 oz

This shows my fat is extremely not important in my body. hahaha. I'm all set for tomorrow and I'll let you know the progress after a week.

Uy-uy-uy-uy

After the mercury drug incident we were laughing our asses off as we head to the jeepney station somewhere in Ayala. I told Bulet and Jen about my crazy iet then a couple of minutes after Bulet startled us with "UY" then the guy in return said "UY" then Jen said "UY" he replied with an "UY" then I suddenly realize he's a person I know too so I said "UY" then I realize again he is the person I don't exactly wanna see to complete my say so I said "UY" and out of nowhere we were exchanging hi fives and we were laughing as hard as we can then I resume the talking. Then Jen said "awkward" then I said "that felt really weird" and we laugh until we parted ways. It was really weird when planned things do not necessarily come out on very unexpected meetings like that. I thought I'd feel indifferent and I thought I'd react differently, really I felt fine and funny all at the same time. Just because my plan didn't work out doesn't mean I am not OK, suprisingly I feel great..and yeah funny. Nice meeting you again Tristan.
