The other day, my friend Liv was a bit exasperated when she learned that she couldn't access blogs (including hers) in blogger from her office. She was delighted however to have learned about Wordpress, and so she imported all her blog entries to her blog's new home.
She insisted that I use Wordpress as my blogs' "mirror site" so that she could still read my ramblings and thoughts. Somewhere along...

Ghosts of The Past
Last night I had coffee with my former officemate from my first employer. It was a pleasant surprise that he sent me a text message early that day, given that prior to him sending me one, I was thinking about my former company and how my good ol’ friends were.Anyway, it was a really nice meet-up. We talked about our current disposition in life (him married, yet on the rocks, me engaged to be married),...

Things I Live By
Last week I bought the latest issue of Marie Claire Philippines, and I found this issue very interesting! I was especially inspired by the cover issue story “Things Eula Valdez Lives By,” that I decided to come up with my own list of things that I do live by.
Aside from living the 10 Commandments and the Christian/Catholic Teachings, here is my list, covering various aspects of my life and my interests:

Tamed Hair
The crow turned white yesterday, and so I went to (gasp!) the parlor and had my hair cut. This was after much prodding by my officemate last week for me to cut my hair and have a hair spa.I'm not really a parlor person, and if there are parts of my body that I gave up on, these are: my skin (save for my face), my jiggly thighs, and my hair.Yup, everyday is a bad hair day for me. I tried to control...

Dang Credit Card!
My day was going so well, up until I called up my credit card company (CC) to inform them I have faxed them my certificate of employment (COE). ARGH!BackgroundEarly this year, I have advised the CC that I transferred to another company, and that my bill should just be sent to my home address. They informed me that i needed to send them a COE for them to verify and update my records. I totally forgot...

I've Bagged it!
I had dinner with my two girl friends last Friday night in Greenbelt, and prior to our dinner, I decided to just drop by Greenbelt 4 and take a look at Louis Vuitton. When i met up with my friend, for some reason I wanted to go back to Gucci, and so we did. Lo and behold! The bag that I wanted to buy a week before was suddenly there! I asked why there was suddenly a stock of what I wanted, and the...

Last night, I had dinner in Spiral at Hotel Philippine Plaza, together with my boss and the attendees of our conference for captains and chief mates. All I can say is.... WOW.The buffet was huge! There were so many stations having different cuisines of various countries, that I didn't know where to begin: Mongolian, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Mediterranean. Then of course, the grilling station, the...

Does the Devil Wear Prada?
Yes, "She" does!Well, according to the book (and now a motion picture) "The Devil Wears Prada."I read the book when it was released last 2004. It was still relatively unknown here, and the only place where it was being sold was in Fully Booked (that was the time I first saw it). It was a really fun...

Effective 1st July 2006, I am considered a regular employee of our company! Our General Manager (my boss) and Regional Director told me the good news late last week, and though I was quite confident that I will be "regularized," it still felt really good when it was confirmed.Both told me that my performance was above their expectations, and there weren't really any major negative issues that they...

Firefighting Training Experience
This course, though I took it last 2002, was still a blast! As usual, the safety boots didn't fit me, so the instructors had to put some cloth inside the boots so they won't be that loose on me. That's me holding the nozzle for the mechanical foam hose!Group pictu...
