Earlier, me and my officemates decided to have our lunch at Alabang Town Center for a change, turns out my lunch would turn out to be a little disappointing. Disappointing because i thought that their drinks is included already in their meal because when the crew told me what drink should I have I immediately choose Pepsi (you can only choose pepsi and iced tea in their store, heck, i dont even like Pepsi) but to my suprise when I will pay my bill at the cashier the teller told me that my Pepsi is a separate bill from my food.
Huwaaattt!!?!?! I blurted out to the teller. Then after a mini debate I surrendered the fact that yes it is a separate bill. And when I asked how much is my Pepsi she said "it's 39 pesos po, in can kasi".
I almost fainted after she said that.
If I add 3 pesos I can have 2 bottle of Fit and Right already.
If I add 5 pesos I can have a 16oz Buko Mango shake at Buko Zone in ATC.
If I add 781 pesos I can have a Swedish massage in The Spa.
If I add 1711 pesosI can buy a new earphone for my i-pod.
If I add 18523 pesos I can pay my car insurance for that.
Lesson learned: Will never eat again at your store =P.
On a happier note, when we're on our way to the parking area I think I saw Margarita Fores in Figaro. Im not a food lover/critic or anything related to food per se but I think she does a magnificent job at her resto. I've never been to her resto but I read a lot of good reviews about it and my friend Charlie told me to check out her resto here in Alabang Town Center.
So Ms. Fores, if you're reading my post (wish upon a star) i'd like to ask this question that keep on bothering me and being used as a debate topic with my friends. The question is...
How do you correctly pronounce CIBO?
Si-Bo?
Tsi-Bo
Ki-Bo?
Shi-Bo?
Nagtatanong lang naman.
Will try to visit your resto soon. =D.

Work Ethics daw.
A forwarded email sent to me by my officemate. I was laughing while i was reading this coz this is so me wayback iran days (ngayon hindi na!)..hahaha! Read on guys =D.
ANO ANG DAPAT GAWIN KUNG TINATAMAD MAGTRABAHO ?
Sa buhay empleyado merong dalawang pagpipilian kung tinatamad kang magtrabaho.
B. Pangalawa ay pumasok
Eto ang dapat gawin ng mga empleyado kapag tinatamad magtrabaho pero ayaw umabsent. Ang mga taong ito ay nuknukan ng kapal ng mukha. Ang mga sumusunod na instructions ay napakasimple pero effective. Meron ding oras na nakatakda, magsisismula ng alas ocho ng umaga at magtatapos ng alas singko ng hapon.
1. Pumasok ng sakto sa oras. Huwag kang male-late at huwag ka din namang excited masyado. 8:00
2. Pagdating mo sa opisina ay ilapag mo lang kaagad ang gamit mo sa lamesa at magtungo kaagad sa pantry. Magtimpla ng kape o kung anuman ang iniinom mo pag umaga. Habang nasa loob ay makipag-usap sa mga tao doon, patagalin mo ang usapan (tip: pag-usapan ang mga headline ngayong araw o mga nangyari kahapon sa loob ng opisina). Kung walang tao sa pantry ay mag-yaya ka ng kasama bago pa man pumasok doon. 8:00-8:30
3. Matapos sa pantry ay magtungo na sa lamesa mo dala-dala pa din ang kape, ito ay para hindi ka antukin buong araw. Buksan ang computer. Matapos nito ay buksan ang mailbox mo. Basahin ang mga email mapabago man o luma. Buksan lahat ng pwedeng buksang attachments, makakabuti ito sa pagpapatagal ng oras. O kaya naman ay mag-email ka sa mga kakilala mong matagal mo ng di nakakamusta. Kapag di ka pa nakuntento ay gawing chat ang email (ito ay sa kadahilanang banned na ang halos lahat ng messengers sa mga kompanya pati google talk di pinalagpas, mga hayop na IT yan). Pano? Mag-email ka sa kakilala mong alam mong merong access sa internet sa mga oras na yon tapos antayin ang reply, wholla! Instant chat session. Sya nga pala, habang ginagawa ang mga nasa taas ay huwag makakalimot inumin ang kape..lalamig ito. 8:30-9:30
4. Matapos ang makabuluhag paggamit ng computer ay magdala ng mga papel-papel at magtungo sa kung saan mo man nais. Mas maganda kung mukha kang aborido hawak ang mga props mo habang papaalis ng lamesa, ito ay para sabihin ng bossing mo sampu ng kasamahan mo sa trabaho na busy ka lagi. Magtungo sa ibang department na me kakilala at makipag-usap ng kung anu-ano. 9:30-10:00
5. Tignan mo nga naman. Alas dies na! Break time na ulit! Pagkatapos mag-lamyerda sa ibang department ay magtungo ulit sa puwesto at ibaba ang mga scratch paper na props. Dalhin ang tasa sa pantry at magtimpla ulit ng panibagong kape, libre ang kape kaya magtimpla ka lang ng magtimpla. Magtungo sa labas kung ikaw ay nag-yoyosi kung di naman ay manatili sa pantry at makipag-usap ka na lang sa mga tao doon. 10:00-10:15
6. Pagkatapos ng break ay bumalik sa lamesa at humarap sa computer (huwag ng magdala ng kape sa lamesa tama na ang nainom mo, sisikmurain ka na sa sobrang gahaman). Tapos ka na sa mga emails mo, ngayon naman ay mag-internet ka na lang ng kung anik-anik. Pero bago mag-internet ay magbukas ka muna ng office document kahit wala kang balak gawin ang mga ito, makakatulong ang documentong ito mamya. Tapos ay mag-internet ka na. Paalala: dapat ay alerto ka sa mga tao sa paligid mo, kapag alam mong me padating pindutin ang ALT at TAB ng sabay. Ito ay para makapunta sa office document na binuksan mo kanina. Kung mabagal ang iyong reflexes ay dapat mabilis ka sa paggamit ng mouse para ma-click mo agad sa taskbar ung documentong nasabi. Kapag na-master mo na ang technique na ito ay di na mapapansin ng bossing mo na nag-iinternet ka lang sa mga oras na ito. 10:15-12:00
7. Tama na muna ang computer. Lunch break na! Alam mo na ang dapat gawin. 12:00-1:00
8. Pagkatapos kumain ay gawin ulit ang #5. Habang gingawa ito ay maglabas ulit ng mga scratch papers na para bang me hinahanap. Tandaan na dapat seryoso ang mukha mo habang gingawa ang mga ito (tip: ikunot ang noo para makakuha ng mukhang seryoso). 1:00-3:00
9. Break time na ulit. Ang bilis nga naman ng oras. Hala..punta na ulit sa pantry. Maaari ka na ulit mag-kape at makipag-chikahan. 3:00-3:15
10. Bumalik sa lamesa at guluhin ito sa pamamagitan ng paglabas ng sandamakmak na mga papel. Tapos ay gawin ulit and #5. Tignan ang oras sa computer mo. Kung 4:30 na ay simulan mo ng ayusin ang ginulong lamesa. Mag-ayos ayos ka na din ng sarili. Kung kasing kapal ng adobe ang mukha mo ay magtungo ka ulit sa pantry para mag-kape (tandaan na dapat me kasama sa pantry) o kaya naman ay gawin ang #3. Matapos ang lahat ng ito ay umuwi ka na, para mo ng awa wala ka na ngang silbi ay nangdadamay ka pa ng iba sa katamaran mo. 3:15-5:00

Happiness
(paunawa sa mga mambabasa:ang nakalathala dito ay pawang kasentihan.ang mga ayaw ng senti, huwag na magtangkang basahin ang nasa ibaba.panunawa ng magulang ang kailanga)
kagabi, habang nagmamaneho ako pauwi mula sa aking pagtuturo sa tuloy sa don bosco, naalala ko sa ganitong panahon noong 2008 at ganito ring sitwasyon kung ano nga ba ang aking gagawin pag nakauwi nako sa pilipinas. yung tipong mga plano na tiyak mag-eenjoy ako at talaga namang namiss kong gawin habang akoy nasa ibang bansa. at tinignan ko ang aking mapagkakatiwalaang planner at binasa (habang naka-pula ang ilaw sa kanto ng alabang-zapote road at alabang hills)kung ano nga ba ang mga pinagsusulat ko dito, at ito ang mga iyon:
1. bumili ng cool na jacket sa addidas katulad ng kasamahang kong si JB na meron atang pitong jacket sa iran (at pinili pa nya yung mga kulay na gusto ko!!).
2. kumain ng baboy at hipon.
3. uminom ng red horse.
4. mamasyal sa korehidor at intramuros.
5. palaging nasa malate pag araw ng sabado ng gabi hanggang linggo ng umaga.
6. mag-jim.
7. bumili ng sasakyan
8. pumunta sa boracay
9. bumili ng pinakabagong bersyon ng selfon.
10. matuto ng bagon isports.
matapos kong basahin ang aking pinagsusulat ay natawa na lamang ako, sapagkat dito makikita kung paano talaga ako ka-desperado para sumaya. sa kadahilanang bagot na bagot na talaga ako sa aking kinalalagyan doon kaya kung ano-ano na lamang ang naiisip ko. pero kung susumain ko ang taong dalawang libo at walo eh halos hindi rin pala nakumpleto ang aking mga isinulat, kasi:
1. wala na yung magandang jacket sa addidas.luma na daw yung gusto kong design kaya na phase-out na.
2. eto nagawa ko na to.
3. hindi pako nakakainom ng red horse, kasi madalang nalang ako uminom ngayon dahil yung mga tomador kong kaibigan ay busy na sa work, ganun din yung mga pinsan ko, lahat busy.
4. yung sa korehidor di parin ako nakakapunta, may nagsabi sa akin hindi daw maganda dun kaya nawalan din ako ng gana (at mahal ang 3,500 na tour fee huh!). sa intramuros, ayun nakapunta ulit ako noong a-bente sais ng disyembre kasama ang ilang kaibigan.
5. hindi narin ako nakabalik sa malate hanggang ngayon, parehong dahilan sa numero 3
6. aha! eto ginagawa ko to ngayon =D.
7. isa pang nagawa ko hehehe.
8. hindi parin ako nakakapunta sa boracay kasi wala akong kasama, ang paliwanag nila masyado daw mahal pumunta dun.
9. hindi rin ako bumili ng pinakabagong bersyon ng selfon ng nokia, ang totoo, kung hindi pa nasira ang luma kong selfon (na pinagtatawanan na dito sa opisina sapagkat lo-tek na dw sha) eh hindi pako bibili ng bago. napabili tuloy ako ng sony-erikson, at ang nakakatawa 3 kaming nasa komunidad na pare-pareho ang selfon.
10. sinubukan kong maglaro ng badminton subalit tatlong araw ang makalipas ay masakit parin ang aking katawan.sinubukan ko rin mag-yoga (isports nga bang matatawag ito) subalit mas lalong sumakit ang aking likod dahil dito.
kung inyong susuriin, siguro ay nasasaisip nio na siguro hindi ako masaya sa buhay ko ngayon base sa mga inilista ko. oo, sa simula ay dikumpyado ako sa sarili ko sapagkat hindi ko nakamit ang aking minimithing pangarap, pero hindi lang naman dito umiikot ang aking mundo at hindi rin lang ito ang aking pinaggagawa sa nakalipas na mga buwan. may mga magagada ring nangyari sa akin tulad nang:
1. pagtuturo sa mga bata sa tuloy sa don bosco...
2. kung saan nakilala ko ang mga bagong kaibigan sa pang-araw ng Huwebes..
3. at nakilala ko ng lubusan si Ate R...
4. na shang nagbigay lakas ng loob sa akin na gamitin na ang aking nakatenggang sasakyan.
5. at sya rin ang nagturo sa akin kung paano magmaneho ng maayos.
6. at higit sa lahat niyaya nya ako sa grupong lingkod ng panginoon.
7. kung saan nakilala ko ulit ang ating panginoon at nakasalamuha ang mga bagong kaibigan.
8. natutunan din ang kawang-gawa sa pamamagitan ng Gawad Kalinga at pagsisilbi sa Bilibid.
9. natutong magmahal at masaktan.
10. magpatawad.
natutunan ko na hindi lang pala materyal na bagay ang nakakapagpasaya sa akin kungdi pati narin ang pakikipag-kapwa tao at higit sa lahat ang may matatag na panalangin sa ating poong maykapal ay sapat na para tayo ay sumaya. natatawa ako sa katagang ito dahil lubos ko pang naaalala 4 na taon ang lumipas na sinabi ng aking kasamahan sa opisina ang ganitong kataga "those people who says money can't buy happiness are poor people" at ako naman ay sumangayon, pero ang hindi ko alam ay totoo pala itong kasabihan na ito.
labing walong araw mula ngayon,isang taon na naman ang lilipas sa aking buhay.kung may nagtanong sa akin kung kung nakapag-enjoy na ba ako sa buhay ko pagkabalik mula sa iran, ang maitutugon ko malamang ay isang malutong na "OO".

Is this for real??
I was browsing the news this morning and guess what i've found.
http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?ArticleId=430436&publicationSubCategoryId=448
It's an article on Phil Star about Eraseheads Final Set concert, supposedly on March 7, 2009.
Yey! I'm so excited!!
And by the way, have you seen the latest commercial of Mc Donalds? The theme song was "Ang Huling El Bimbo" of E-heads. The idea and thought of the commercial strucks me, parang "Hey, that's Me!!". I love it!!!!
here's the link for the you tube copy:

Oh well, it's that time of the year when everybody's in "LOVE" spell.

Hooray for Beyonce!!!
For the record, I really really love Beyonce. Way back Destiny Child days i already have a crush on her, and when she goes solo and with the release of her single "Crazy in Love" (plus music video), i was totally crazy in love with her. Tall, Black American, with tantalizing eyes (i have issues with tantalizing eyes, fyi) and a very powerful voice, what more can you ask for. My older sister also have a girl-crush on Beyonce actually, but i didn't go too far to buy all her albums nor buy every magazine where she's a cover. I just download her album over the net (sorry beyonce!) and store it in my i-pod. After the release of her second album, i somewhat notice that she's a little bit thinner than before and she doesn't look good as before. I even compare her current photo (during that time) and the one wherein she's the cover girl of some sports magazine (sports illustrated i think) and you can see the difference. From then on my crush on Beyonce started to fade.
Then now she release her new album "I am Sasha Fierce" (correct me if im wrong) and lo and behold, she's back to her orginal form! Voluptous and ultra sexy. And I'm in love again. Hahahaha. Her new single "Put a ring on it" has been topping the charts and the music video is so sexy and catchy,a trademark of Beyonce actually.
Damn, if I we're jay-Z, i'll be the happiest guy in the whole world!

Love is in the air
After the December holidays, i always look forward for Valentine week,i.e. for me it officially starts on my birthday till the V-day itself. Yes, i may not be the most romantic person on earth (heck, i think i need to read Twilight para maging romatic ulit) but just the feeling of everybody is in love on Valentines month is a happy feeling for me narin =D.
Yikes! Mushy alert!
Even single guys can enjoy the Valentine fever, there are many ways to celebrate it like:
1. Treat your family on a good dinner (whether in-house or outside).
2. Go out with single friends. Malay mo, your true love pala is in your inner circle of friends.
3. Go to church and pray...and if possible go to a confession. Love of God is more than enough.
4. Serve the less fortunate people.
5. Watch feel good movie (a Piolo-Angel tandem or Richard-Kc will do). Basta hindi ako kasama ha coz i might die watching it.
And for those who have a special someone right now, here are my tips for a easy-low- budget-but-still-romantic way of dating on V-day like:
1. A HHWWPSSP in Manila Parks and tourist spots. I suggest You start your walk from the Manila City hall, then enter Intramuros from Mapua side then stroll the Intramuros walls until you reach Manila Cathedral and if you have spare money, try to enter Fort Santiago as well. A visit to Rizal park and watch the sunset in Manila Bay is a classic!
If you despise walking under the heat of the sun why not visit the air-conditioned National Museum. Not only you'll see some of our national treasure but you can also appreciate arts and crafts here. Oh by the way, before I forgot, while doing HHWWPSSP why not doing it while eating fishball at gulaman. Masamang maglakad at mamasyal ng gutom. =P
2. If you really need to date and eat outside, why not visit Binondo restos for authentic Chinese cuisine. A friend told me that the cost of food in Binondo restos are quite cheap compare to that in the malls or in your favorite hangouts.
3. If you have a car and want to spend your V-day in a different way, why not go on a joyride. Example: if you're living in Las Pinas why not go to Tagaytay then exit in Sta.Rosa Laguna then C5 going to Antipolo for overlooking. The only catch here is you should have money for gasoline =D. And for a change, try to eat the Bulalo in Tagaytay or the exotic foods of Antipolo.
4. Tambay in The Fort Taguig or UP-Diliman campus while eating fishball at gulaman parin!
5. Pasig River cruise. Just for the sake of trippings. =D.
As for me, since I'm very much single thank-you-very-much, I'm planning to spend it with my family (Awwwwwww...)nalang. That is,it depends, if i fall in love between now and on V-day. Hahahaha!
Peace!
Yikes! Mushy alert!
Even single guys can enjoy the Valentine fever, there are many ways to celebrate it like:
1. Treat your family on a good dinner (whether in-house or outside).
2. Go out with single friends. Malay mo, your true love pala is in your inner circle of friends.
3. Go to church and pray...and if possible go to a confession. Love of God is more than enough.
4. Serve the less fortunate people.
5. Watch feel good movie (a Piolo-Angel tandem or Richard-Kc will do). Basta hindi ako kasama ha coz i might die watching it.

Moral Lesson from Ugly Betty
Last night, since i was incredibly home early after my workout at the gym,i've spent most of my free time channel surfing over cable. After 3 rounds of channel hoping i decided that there's no worth seeing kind of show on cable, so i check local television, and lo and behold guess what show i've stuck watching last night.
Ugly Betty on Channel 23.
Since i've seen and religiously watch Betty La Fea (the original betty from Bogota) when I was young and heard great reviews about it (re:Ugly Betty) i said to myself why not give it a try to watch this one.
Well, the show was fun and witty. Not so Friends-type-of-comedy nor Melrose Place-kind-of-drama. The story last night started when the father of Daniel Meade (he's the boss of Mode magazine) is getting buried and Wilhelmina (she works also for Mode amgazine) destroyed Mode by relea sing a deadly virus in the computer system erasing all the files for their upcoming printing. Then the part that struck me the most is when all the staff are converging to try salvaging what's left on their articles and photos is where Wilhelmina enters and announcing her new self styled magazine and she's recruiting new staff. Promising salary raise, benefits like dental and cosmetics (this is the part where many staff REALY transfer to Wilhelmina,bonuses, etc. Many staff trasfered eventually, leaving Mode with few loyal staff, and as Wilhelmina says "You're like the orchestra who still play song on the Titanic while it was sinking and drowned".
So, what's the moral lesson of the story boys and girls?
Is't the revenge action of Wilhelmina? Remember the banner theme of Kill Bill 1: "Revenge is a dish best serve cold"
Hindi naman moral lesson yun!
What really struck me was the loyalty of those who remain in Mode magazine eventhough they are on the brink of collapse due to the damage cause by the virus. I remember a few years ago when I was in the same situation, broke, down, problematic,sad, the only people that really stick to me is my family and a few friends, very few, 2 people to be exact who really see me during my lowest point. That's a great slump considering i have at least a minimum of 100 so-called friends in my phonebook.I take that experience as an awakening moment in my life. It's not really true when you're friend tells you they will stick to you thru thick and thin, you have to experience one to know one.
As for me, im now, more wiser than before and I'm glad that the people I've met are consistently always there when i need them and in return i'm always here, one text away, when they needed me.

Lesson of Obedience
This is a story about a young boy and how he learned the lesson of obedience.
One day, the boy meet a pretty young girl in a party. Young boy fell in love with the Pretty young girl. Call it love at first sight, or somewhat cheesy, or infatuation, but Young boy immediately fall in love with the Pretty girl. After the party, Young boy ask Pretty girl if he can walk her to her house and get her number. Pretty Lady obliged, since she thinks there's nothing wrong about it, in fact she thinks it's very polite of the young boy to bring her to her house.
After the party, Young boy send messages to Pretty girl. Then they became good friends in which Young Boy solidify her "love" to Pretty Girl. Pretty Girl was happy when he's with Young Boy. One day, young boy ask his older brother what he thinks about Pretty Girl, "Kuya, i think she's the one i've been looking for" to which older brother reply "Tol, i think you should evaluate your feelings, you cannot say that you love her just like that, you still have some issues about yourself and jumping to a relationship will even make your life complicated. I suggest you take time to think on what you feel, enjoy your friendship first, include your feelings and include her on your prayer, be discreet on what you feel, and most of all don't fall in love with the "love" idea.
After hearing this, young boy was outraged, "how can my older brother, my supposedly bestfriend, tries to break my feelings with her", the boy exclaimed. He was very confused both by the way that he feels and what his older brother had said.
Sad and angry, he still obeyed what his older brother had said. He thinks over and over on how he feels with the pretty lady. After days of contemplating and praying on his feelings he finally succumbed to the idea that his feeling was just an infatuation.It was just an object of extravagant short-lived passion with the Pretty Girl. Relieved, he explain to Pretty Girl about what he feels, and to his suprise Pretty Girl was happy with that idea, that he finally realized on what his real intention to her.
Young Boy thanked his Older Brother for his advice to which his kuya replied 'hey, that's what i'm here for". Young boy and pretty Girl became the best of friends from then on, and even attended each others wedding. And they did live happily ever after, with different spouses of course.
The End

Hello!
Hi everyone! I'm back! For those who miss me during the holiday and concerned why I'd didn't post anything during the two week Christmas vacation, here's the reasons why....
1. I enjoy and treasured my 2 weeks vacation. After 3 years slavery to the corporate world and construction industry this is the first time that i really had a vacation. Yep, I did had a 1 or 2 days (3 days max) vacation but a two week vacation is like heaven sent, or should i say Gloria sent.
2. I play babysitter to my niece. It's hard but it's worth it. Sort like practice for me in the near future.
3. Helping out, giving advices and offer prayers to friends in need. Diba there's a saying "A friend in need is a friend indeed".
4. A long chat with my sisters. I missed chatting up with my sisters, specially my soon-to-be-abogada sister. It's really funny to talk to them coz we just talk anything, from showbiz (tim yap and regine velasquez our favorite topic) to law to personal life.
5. HBO.Jack TV.CNN.Travel and Living.MTV.Channel V.Nick.Enuf said.
6. Doing household chores.
7. Meeting up old friends. Did succesfully meet up with my college buddies and went off to Tagaytay for the much needed kwentuhan at kainan. Then high school friends invite me for a christmas party/mini reunion with them. Sad but i didn't make it coz I was in Cabanatuan with some friends, but I promised I'll be there in their next mini reuninon. Then hooked up again with my old college pal who is a very good friend of mine.
8. Gimmiks! Enuf said ulit. =D.
9. Prayer time 0:D.
10. Reading blogs. Im still connected with the blogosphere during the holidays but really very lazy to post one. It's hard to miss the entries of Doc Rio, The dOng, Blogusvox, The professional heckler and Ate Mungs.
New year, New Hope, New Activities, New Plans.
For 2009, whatever you have on your sleeve, i have one thing to say.....LET'S GET IT ON!
Happy New Year to All!!!
