Not feeling well

It's been a long month for me. A lot of kt activities and meetings that really stresses me out :(
I need some time off... Right now i didn't go to the office as i'm not feeling well...

Kuala Lumpur Day 1

This is a very interesting day for me... I was packing my things very late last night.. I set my alarm to 4:00 AM as my flight is at 8:00 AM... I was surprised when I was woken up by my mom opening my cabinet.... and guess what time it is... 6:00 AM?!?!?!!?!? I immediately stood up... knocked on my brothers room door.. get dressed (without bothering to take a bath)... gargled some mouth wash.. and headed towards the door...

My brother was driving like mad.. I felt like I was in the fast and the furious movie.. good thing there was no traffic... we were able to reach NAIA terminal 3 in less than 30 minutes... :) whew...

since i was travelling alone.. i have no choice but to observe people around me... here are my observations:

• SQ915 MLA to SG - I was seated at 41D.... there was a vacant seat between me and this old looking business guy.... he had a lot of newspapers and magazines on his seat.... he's chinese looking... so i minded my own business and browsed through the magazines... i decided to watch scream 4 during the flight.. while watching the movie... food was served... hmmm i wonder why the guy sitting beside me was served first and his food is different from that in the menu.... ... then he keeps on looking at me... it seems that he wanted to talk to me.. when a stewardess approached him.. he asked how to operate the video... hehe...
  



• immigration KLIA - there was a long queue of people... it took me around 30 minutes before it was finally my turn... while waiting i noticed an arabian girl... she's so covered up and only her eyes can be seen.. he was looking intently at the girl next in line to her... unlike her that girl has too little clothes on... hehe... i wondered what she was thinking.. does she want to wear less too? or maybe she was offended of her? i dunno... aside from this.. i also noticed a lot of persian/indian looking fellow directed towards the immigration office for clearance... i kept on thinking and hoping that I won't have to go through that...
  

After immigration, i went to a money changer... 10,000 PHP = 653 RM... oh well... then I queued up for taxi... budget taxi here is 74.30 RM from the airport to my hotel (Renaissance).

My room was ok... not as big as my room last time in Traders Hotel but this would suffice... I'm 5 minutes away from KLCC so not bad... :)

I'll clear up some of my SERP mails tonight so I can concentrate on my HR tasks for tomorrow... wish me luck!!

Cebu Adventure - July 21 - 26

In progress....

Long weekend day 3

Monday!!! It's a holiday....

we're still here in Tagaytay... and took advantage of it...

We bought beef for my little brother... then ate one big bowl of Bulalo (pig out mode)....

after that we drove again going to Manila... went straight to Taguig and checked Polgas' condominium along 9th street... only the church is standing there... no signs of construction yet... hehehe...

then we went to Marketmarket and bought some stuff....

then we went to MOA and bought groceries.... the food trip doesn't stop there....

We ate Kaya !!!!!

Long weekend day 2

After so many months, we will be conquering another mountain J DORA will be going to Mt. Batulao today. Pulgas and I will just directly go to Evercrest and meet the gang over there.

3AM – it was raining hard… I immediately texted Spidey to confirm if we are a go.

4AM – it was decided to postpone it.

Oh well… I’m a bit disappointed but it’s ok.. better safe than sorry….

Pulgas and I decided to go to his bestfriends’ house to drop off a gift from another friend… he lives in Cubao.. on our way.. I teased him of having a roadtrip to Tagaytay… and surprisingly he obliged.. J

ROADTRIP!!! We didn’t bring anything at all.. just ourselves… well I really have sets of clothes in the car just to be safe.. J it was a good drive… no traffic at all.. we drove through SLEX without any problems at all… of course except for the drizzle…

It was very cold in Tagaytay!!!! It’s FOGGY as well…

Long weekend day 1

Long weekend!!! Yippee!!! We are on holiday on Monday and I’m looking forward for a good weekend… Plans for this weekend:
- Saturday : Badminton with the gang
- Sunday: Trek Mt. Batulao in Batangas
- Monday: Sleep day 

Badminton did not push.. some of the people were not available to play… what to do? I went to MOA and did some window shopping… I was able to accompany my brother and bought something for Ingrid… then I craved for chicken.. Maxx chicken!!!! They have this eat all you can chicken from 6-10PM… great! I need someone with the same appetite as I have go with me… good thing Pulgas was available and is willing to eat as much as he can… 

I was soooo excited.. we went to Max at around 8:00PM… was able to get in at around 8:15… I was a bit hungry… we ordered softdrinks + 1 rice only… hehehe.. as much as possible we want to eat more chicken and less rice…
We ate 5 servings of chicken each… below are our proofs…

It may take another 6 months before I go back to Maxx again… hahaha… we’ll see…

My plate..

His plate

Green Lantern Day

Green Lantern day!!!!



This was one of the movies we’re looking forward to watch this month… Honestly, I’m not that familiar with the comic book but the trailer is really appealing and curious…

Ryan Reynolds was cool for the role… however I always picture him not as a hero but more of a comedienne… Blake Lively looks gorgeous in her role..  I envy her.. hehe..

Story-wise… it’s ok.. but it’s not a movie that I’ll watch over and over again…

One movie crossed out of our list once again 

Sleep

Sleep is the easiest thing to do...you just have to close your eyes and then dream... however, not everyone is capable of having a nice long sleep...

why?

some studies say it may be because of stress, of what you eat/drink, worst you might have a sleeping disorder...

for me... it's difficult for me to sleep if I am bothered or am thinking of something... I'm still not sure on how to overcome this but milk helped...

maybe I should try the sleep test... hmmm.....

How to make a french toast...

How to make a delicious french toast? we will need the following:

• bread
• butter
• vanilla
• egg
• milk

we just have to mix 1 egg, 1 tbsp of milk, 1 tbsp of vanilla. Then, dip the bread in it.

Heat the pan with butter.

Fry the bread in low fire.

:)

lunch with my CAT friends

I was very looking forward for this day... my CAT co-QMs will be coming over to McKinley to have lunch :)

It was a very relaxing and open conversation... I dunno why.. but we have a bond that we all understand each other... i miss working with them... it was never like working when I was still in CAT... it feels like a family....

Thanks guys!!! I miss having you around...

mr. Stick

Meet Mr. Stick... someone very special gave it to me when we were still friends more than 3 years back... he told me to always look at mr. Stick whenever I feel stressed... it will be relieved...




I was surprised to find this in my bin... memories flood my brain... and it was quite a refreshing picture...

X-Men - first class

We watched this movie at market market 3 days ago... I was surprised to enjoy the movie... it's good... although comparing all the X-Men movies... i would go for the Phoenix one.. :)

One thought stood out for me on this movie... "Born that way and proud of it"

People nowadays does lot of things on how they look.. they wouldn't even stop and appreciate what's in front of them... a lot of things come into my mind that people should learn - acceptance, gratitude, appreciation.

Anyone else but You

this is one of my favorite songs :).. you can even find a recording of us singing this in my multiply account...

You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you're back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you

Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you

The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you

I will find my nitch in your car
With my MP3, DVD, rumple-packed guitar
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you

Du, du, du
Du, du, du
Du, du, du

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you

You are always trying to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you

Don Quixote was a steel driving man
My name is Adam, I'm your biggest fan
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you

Squinched up your face and did a dance
You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
I don't see what anyone can see
In anyone else but you

Du, du, du
Du, du, du
Du, du, du
But you

A thought...

I remembered a quote from one of the Execs in our company... Heroes are not those who don't fall... they are those who keep on standing each time they fall.... :)

good quote

We give up believing that we design the world into existence, and instead take up roles in support of its flourishing. We work with what is available and encourage forms to come forth. We foster tinkering and discovery. We help create connections. We nourish with information. We stay clear about what we want to accomplish. We remember that people self-organize and trust them to do so. (from 'A Simpler Way' - 1996) - Wheatley and Kellner-Rogers

...

sometimes....you stop and think about the things around you....
the blue sky, the green leaves, the twinkling stars....
things we seldom appreciate...
things we take for granted...

what if when you wake up the next day
they're just not there
the colors have vanished
all you see is blackness...darkness...

what would you do then?

Grey's Anatomy

For the past months, I've been addicted to watching Grey's Anatomy... for those who are not familiar with the show it's a series that follows the lives of interns, residents and their mentors in the fictional Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital in Seattle, Washington, as they struggle to complete their medical training and maintain personal lives.



Why this show? Way back when I was a kid... I dreamed of being a nurse then eventually a doctor... Although I have that dream... my fear of blood got in the way... and the escape? B.S. Math major in computer science... hehe...

I believe this is a really good show... it doesn't only give us a glimpse of what happens in the operating rooms but it has life lessons that is applicable even to my own life... :)

Some sample quotes below:)
<> "At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines... that are way too dangerous to cross."

<> "I've heard that it's possible to grow up - I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope - against all logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope."

<> “Communication. It's the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we grow up, learn our words and really start talking, the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for what we really need.”

Street craze

we were at my lola's house today and I was surprised to see this.



I can't even park rukia at the street I needed to find an alternative which was not easy...
It has been more than 10 years since the street has been renovated as drastic as this... I can't recall if the previous renovation helped... but hopefully this one will minimize floods...

now the question is... when will this be completed? hmmm.. i wonder...

17 months, 7 days

After 17 months and 7 days, I'm back :) I have been itching to write for so long now but was not able to do so due to some technical difficulties ;)

Anyways I'd like to thank the following people for making this possible...
< > - Earl Serrato - for the Acer Laptop
< > - Ranilo de Guzman - for the Globe tattoo stick

hmmm... now where to start...
