andito na si ate! Ü

my eldest sister arrived last tuesday night from the US to spend christmas here (will be flying back before new year). she's not the type who would bring home dozens of pasalubongs but she wouldn't refuse our pabilis, given that there's still space in her luggage.

last time she went home two years ago, i asked her to buy me my iRiver H340. i paid only half of the price, the other half was her birthday and christmas gift to me.

this year i asked her to buy me 5 books and Dishwalla's self titled album.

and yey, she got me all those!! (Dishwalla cd not in picture)


from left, below:

The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia McKillip
Nine Hundred Grandmothers by R.A. Lafferty
The Battle for the Castle & The Castle in the Attic by Elizabeth Winthrop
Noisy Outlaws, Unfriendly Bobs, and Some Other Things by Timothy McSweeney

yey yey yey! this is considered pabili. as pasalubong, she got me a really cool shirt. as xmas gift, we went to the mall this morning and told me she would pay for any item of clothing that i choose. yehey! sayang nga lang, i already bought what i'll be wearing for the xmas party. pero ok lang, i asked her to buy me another shirt! yehey! happy bunso, ngayon ko na feeling na spoiled brat ako! whee! Ü

speaking of books, CALLING ALL BOOKWORMS! check out this cool site: Library Thing. then check out its utility called the Unsuggester. it says how unlikely people who own one book will own another.

---***---

ate ces bought the new Sony Ericsson W710i this morning also. it's a great phone, though the picture quality is not that sharp, unlike the K series phones, or the Nokia phones. but she doesn't care, pang jogging nya yon eh! hehehe! Ü inggit! i want my Samsung D830 na! Ü

---***---

just got home this morning, around 5am, from HSBC's relief operations in Bicol. aching muscles, slightly sunburnt, no sleep for 2 days, sore from the 24 hour trip (12 hours to, 12 hours back)... but feeling very very fulfilled. more on that next time. i'm still woozy from lack of sleep. and besides, i'm still waiting for the official pictures. will just insert a pic that i took from my phone.

Timm, Nilo, and me by the majestic Mayon Volcano*

*many thanks to Rica for taking our pic. Ü

taxi cabs, etc

finally done with my christmas shopping! even if it's a weekday and during work hours, malls are still crammed with shoppers! pare pareho ata kami naka leave. oh well! then i thought 4:30 pm was still early to easily get a cab, but wtf?! ang daming nagaabang, parang rush hour na! kenes! i got one at 6750, less people. which brings me to my next story...

---***---

on my way home from the mall, we're by the stoplight of Pasong Tamo-Vito Cruz Ext intersection. it's actually a fork, so if you're coming from Metropolitan Ave, "straight ahead" means you turn left less than 45 degrees. cab driver asked me: "ma'am, derecho po tayo sa kaliwa?" bwahahahaha! he couldn't have said it more clearly.

---***---

one favorite pastime, watch passing taxi cabs and make fun at their names. the owners' creativity in thinking up of such names is so astounding. taxi names such as "BARELY HERE..." then you'll see another taxi that says "BARELY THERE...". or you'll see "NOW" and "THEN" on separate occassions and places, and you'll wonder if it belongs to one company only. i haven't had the chance to take pictures of such taxi's since i don't own a digicam and my cam phone's pfft. but i captured one as i was on my way home one night...

idol na idol!!! raaakkk onnn!!

---***---

finally had my quarterly haircut at Fix in G2. i was chatting w/ plee thru text and i told her that the junior stylist coloring my hair is actually cute. he doesn't look or act gay, pero kung dingga man sya, sobrang hindi halata. i told plee he's like a 19 year old Ronan Keating na maliit. hahaha ayos! di ko na nakunan ng pic, dyahe eh.

---***---

hindi kami matalino sa math, galit kami sa math. at sa tagal na naming hindi napagdiskusyonan ang algebra at geometry sa buhay namin, eto ang kalalabasan ng chat namin:

me: ang right angle 90 degrees diba?
yagie:
oo.. ata

me:
hehehe ok.

yagie:
math yan eh!!

me:
pati ako nalilito na. hahaha!

yagie: eh ano yung 45 degrees?
yagie:
yun ba yung parang natutumbang letter L?

me:
ang 45 deg eh yung isang slice ng cake. hahaha!
yagie: ayun eh!!
yagie:
so ang 90 degrees eh parang 3:00 sa relo? tama ba?

me:
korek!

me:
ang kulet!

yagie:
panalo tayo sa visuals!!

me:
depende pa kung paano mag slice ng cake. baka kasi ang isang slice eh yung malaki noh!

me:
as in yung 90 deg slice ng cake!

yagie:
oo nga naman..


oo na, sorry na. simpleng tao lang na galit sa math...

---***---

i was watching Hyperspace with Sam Neill on Discovery Channel a while ago. i'm not sure if this was taught to us way back in high school, but i just learned that earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are the effects of the nearest black hole to us. creepy... wala lang... been watching too much tv these days. sinusulit ang bakasyon! i mean, i can't recall how many times i've watched reruns I,Robot at Star Movies since last week. oh well...

---***---

last funny pic...

bagong laba...

sana ang tunay na aso pwede na lang natin ilagay sa palanggana para matuyo pagkatapos paliguan noh? hehehe...

new item!

i've got several new items to add on my general wishlist:

- The Sally Lockhart Quartet by Philip Pullman
* Book 2 - The Shadow in the North
* Book 3 - The Tiger in the Well
* Book 4 - The Tin Princess

my sister gave me Book 1 The Ruby in the Smoke. ayan, gusto ko na tuloy kumpletuhin. hehehe! Ü

---------------

as i was writing this entry down, our house began to smell and fill with smoke. at first i thought it was my PC, overworked. hehehe! i looked at the window just in time to see a firetruck rushing our way. already in panic mode, we (as in residents of A,B,C,D) rushed out to see where it's coming from (before making sure that our own units were not in flames). the fire originates from a house right behind our compound. good thing it was raining and fire trucks responded almost immediately to put out the fire. my dad quickly made his way there to look and maybe forewarn us if we already need to pack our stuff. thank God it's over now! my dad got back after a few minutes to inform us that the fire is out. the fire started from cheap christmas lights that went kaput. boo to cheap xmas lights! mag xmas tree na lang kayo na walang xmas lights!

our house being consumed by flames is my worst fear, and no matter how minimal this situation seems to be, i got the scare of my life! i prayed and prayed that our compound will be spared, and no one will get hurt during the fire. thank God ligtas kaming lahat, at walang nasaktan kahit na sa nasunugan! at salamat din na hindi natumpok yung buong bahay nila. salamat...

at buti na lang ang tatay ko volunteer firefighter!! *beaming with pride*

happy birthday to me!!

i woke up yesterday to this...

buffet breakfast at New World Hotel!!

nope, all 3 plates are not mine. si yanee yung nsa kabila. then shared bread plate. whee i love buffet breakfasts!

---***---

yanee and i checked in at the New World Hotel Dec 4-5 for 2 days rest and relaxation. in other words, magpapaka-tamad kami ng todo todo! and of course to quietly celebrate my birthday. Jinky joined us for dinner and dessert at GB3, then was replaced by Rica around 12mn due to my persistence (na-B.I. ko tuloy. haha!). since restos and bars at GB3 close at midnight, we continued our drinks at the hotel lobby restaurant (open 24 hours, expensive, shet!). tapos pinag tripan muna namin si Winnie The Pooh sa lobby bago umuwi si Rica...

Winnie and Barney sitting on the *couch*, k-i-s-s-i-n-g...

---***---

another item taken off my general wishlist. whee!! sorry, my camera phone isn't good in taking pictures in artificial light. the color's not supposed to be green, dapat aquamarine (or turquoise, basta ganun) then darkbrown shoelaces (with free white ones). yey!!!

---***---

just received this email from baklang rica few mins ago. hehehe! funny!



ay hindi umaandar... ok, just click on this link: MORTOR!!

ok, speaking of LOTR, this just in...

Hobbit goes ahead without Jackson

good luck na lang kung kaya nila ma-achieve ang level ni Jackson. he's in fact, no doubt, the "Lord Of The Rings". a really bad move.

---***---

now this is one movie i'm looking forward to. though i might need to read the entire book all over again. i already forgot what happened.

special thanks to Plee for these awesome links!

---***---


saturday adventure with Plee and Pitoy (huwahahahaa, plee, parang tunog cooking show or mala-lotlot and friends! hahahaha!)

sorry, anyway, this pic was taken last saturday at my bestfriend's college tambayan, tattle and treats (in front of ssc)! we headed there after our quiapo shopping experience and reminisced the good old times. this was yagie's regular tambayan and i used to join her on days when i have spanish classes at instituto cervantes. same old creamy beef/chicken, same old iced coffee (diff price of course), same old color and ambience, same owners. ang nasabi na lang namin "omg, sya pa rin! grabe, after 5 years....

more pics at yagie's...

---***---

funny si fiona kanina (our super askal), just after he came back from his poopie break outside, i saw him sit down in a very odd way. yun pala, nangangati pwet nya. hahaha! kaya naman pala nags-slide sya pag umuupo.

---***---

3 stickers to go, may Starbuck's planner na ako!

---***---

i'm going to borrow WynzyL's birthday wishlist idea. 2 weeks to go happy birthday ko na. but instead of jotting down the things that i like my friends (and enemies) to give me (nagpaparinig kumbaga), i'd just make a general wishlist. goal ko ito na mapasaakin in the next few years, bigay man o bili. hahaha! so now, i'm currently working on that wishlist. mahaba haba ata. hehe...

---***---

i badly, BADLY, need a drink this friday/weekend! things haven't been going very smoothly at home. it pains me to see this person i live with struggling but i can't do anything yet. i feel this sense of helplessness. masakit, sobra, kasi alam kong may magagawa ako pero hindi ako makagalaw kasi gusto ko syang matauhan. tiis na lang. tangina...

friends, tawagan nyo na lang ako pag inuman na...

i was laughing my heart out this afternoon while i was talking with my sister thru text. a few messages were exchanged but it i spent a whole 15 minutes laughing. here's the exact conversation (in text linggo pa!):

my current fixation... old tv shows! it all started when i was over at mr. & mrs. hung 's (aka yagie and pitoy) house and this was our inuman topic. from bioman, to doogie howser, etc etc. ayan tuloy! natuwa tuloy ako. then i found the site called "Retro Junk, Your Memory Machine" that features all the tv shows, movies, commercials of the 70's, 80's and 90's that you can think of! amazingly, they show the intros! wheee! they fill me with nostalgia!

i can't post all videos here kasi exaggerated na. yung mga favorite ko lang. Ü

this one i remember watching every afternoon. this follows The Wonder Years (or after? hehe! i forgot! Ü

and since 80's ito, syempre we kids live by watching cartoons. ang saya saya diba pag nanonood tayo nito:



at nito:



some of us even watched the animated movie and cried when Optimus Prime died. well, there's this new cgi movie coming out by next year, sana maganda. can't wait! Ü

ah eto, ndi din mawawala...



and

saludo kami sayo!

the greatest driver in the history of Formula 1 will retire by end of season. F1 will never be the same without good ol' Schumi...

---------------

Schumacher confirms his retirement
10 September 2006

After an emotional win in Sunday's Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Michael Schumacher has announced he will retire from race driving at the end of this season.

"Words are not enough and whatever I could say now will never fully express how much I love this fascinating world of motor sport and all it has given me," said Schumacher. "From go-karting to Formula One, I have lived through moments that I will never forget. I am profoundly grateful for everything I have had. I want to thank everyone who has accompanied me, supported and inspired me, right back to the days of my childhood.

“Above all, a special thanks goes to (my wife) Corinna and our two children, who have given me the strength to do what I have done. All these years in Formula One have been amazing, especially those spent alongside my friends in the Scuderia. Soon my future will belong to my family, while I am happy to be still part of Ferrari. But for now, what matters is this world championship."

Schumacher has been with Ferrari for 11 seasons, securing five of his drivers' titles with the team and contributing to six of their constructors' crowns. No other driver has won as much with the Italian squad, who were keen to pay tribute to their great driver.

"I had always said that the decision to retire would be his alone, but now that decision has been taken, I feel a sense of sadness," commented Ferrari President and CEO, Luca di Montezemolo. "We have lived through some unforgettable times together, some good some bad, achieving results that will be hard to equal. To Michael goes the thanks of everyone in the company and supporters of Ferrari for all the dedication he has shown to our colours, for the determination and courage with which he has worked, which has provided immense satisfaction. He is both sincere and passionate and has earned the affection of all of us and of our fans. His relationship with Maranello will continue, albeit in a different form and I am very happy about that."

"Michael has been the author of a unique chapter in the history of Formula One and of Ferrari in particular. It has yet to reach its conclusion and what he has achieved extends over and above the results obtained," added Managing Director, Jean Todt. "He is an exceptional man and will become a legend as a driver. For me personally, he is a great friend and together we have lived through unrepeatable experiences. Having had the opportunity to work alongside him has been and will continue to be a privilege."

Ferrari will announce a new team structure at the end of the year, including a definition of Schumacher’s new role.

--------------------------- followed by-----------------------------


Ferrari confirm Raikkonen, Massa for ‘07
10 September 2006



Raikkonen has signed a three-year deal, covering the 2007, 2008 and 2009 seasons. His team mate will be Felipe Massa, the Brazilian’s contract having been extended until the end of 2008. Luca Badoer stays on as Ferrari’s official test driver.

"Whilst I have taken the decision to leave Team McLaren Mercedes, I want to stress that I really enjoyed my time with the team,” said Raikkonen. “I have the deepest respect for everybody and will be giving my all in the remaining races."

The Finn has been with McLaren for the past five years, scoring nine victories, 10 pole positions and 321 world championship points. His place at the team will be taken by world champion Fernando Alonso, whose 2007 partner will be revealed by McLaren before the end of the year.

Paying tribute to Raikkonen, McLaren boss Ron Dennis commented: "I have enjoyed working with Kimi over the past five seasons and as a team we have achieved a lot of success. He is a very special driver and obviously everybody at McLaren wishes him all the best in his future career. Looking forward we remain confident that our 2007 line-up will be a strong and exciting one."

on schools and skills

kwento ito sa akin kaninang umaga, medyo malabo pa, pero parang ganito yung nangyari:

Three resident manager trainees in our department, Wednesday, discussing complaints with assistant manager. AM explained that if the complaints are valid, the agents make their own reply letters to the clients who filed the complaint. ang unang hirit:

RMT1 (girl): "ah, so they can?!"
AM: "oo naman, marunong naman yang mga yan eh. naka graduate naman yan sila, most of them from La Salle, UP, etc etc.
RMT2 (guy): "well, in Ateneo, maybe."

... parang ang point lang nitong mga ito, if you're NOT from Ateneo, it's doubtful that you can write an apology letter to a client!

and... fresh grad po ang nagsabi nito...

ang babaw ha!

never forget

"I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel...
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you..."

"someday soon this will all be someone else's dream"


*sigh*.... missing it all...

(oh yeah, first paragraph ibang kanta po yan. hehehe! Pictures of You by The Cure)

waiting in vain

my 3-year "forced savings" has finally matured and the proceeds have been credited. at last!! money for me and money to pay my debts! hahaha!

i believe i deserve a reward... for enduring 36 months of salary deductions (of a considerable amount) and emerging unscathed from a very turbulent financial status.

so knowing me, instead of shopping for clothes (except for shoes and bags, they are my weakness), i'd rather spend my money on books or cds. so off i go to Powerbooks... buti na lang may SALE!! so i stocked up on books that are in my "book wish list" and went home happy. check out what i bought:



The Earthsea Series by Ursula K. Le Guin

and,

The Time Quartet by Madeleine L'Engle boxed set.

and i got all of them for sale! whee! ok happy na ako. Ü

oh by the way, for all book enthusiasts... next weekend will be The 27th Manila International Book Fair at the World Trade Center. dali, tayo'y mamasyal at magpaka lunod sa libro! hahaha!
