Can't wait to see your bundle of joy! ΓΌ

it's a date!


We're just about halfway of the month yet Charo already started some plans for the department Christmas party. Too early but probably not since planning a party for about 200 people is a bit tedious. I am almost always a member of the program commitee during summer and christmas gatherings. I sometimes wish i'm not because i wanted to be surprised! Being a committee member, you'll know what's in store in the party.

The above picture was last year's invitation i made. I suddenly miss my old friends. I suddenly miss the old electronics group. Waahh why is everyone leaving!?!? :(

pizza monsters

Last night - Charo, Ailyn and I craved for pizza. Well, we crave for pizza almost all of the time! It's 12 midnite and we're in Lapulapu. Yet, we still went to Fuente in Cebu City just to eat pizza! :D If only Lapulapu City has food chains, kiosks or shops that is open for 24 hours, then we wouldn't have to travel for 30 minutes or so just to eat pizza! Originally, we wanted to eat in Pizza Hut but they close earlier compared to Shakey's so off we ate in Shakey's. We got another recruit! We managed to win over Pai to go with us. Careful Pai, diet does not exist in our vocabulary. :P


the four hungry chicks

Now, i want to eat pizza again... waahhhh!!!

pingpong 4th match

The semi rounds concluded earlier with me and Ailyn playing in the women single's category. I lost against Ailyn from blue team. It's a good thing that whether I lose or win, green team is already in for the final rounds. (Otherwise, i'm to be blamed, hehe!) We'll be competing against the blue team. I thought it's going to be the red and blue team vying for the championship round but obviously it's not going to happen! Furthermore, i thought that if we'll make it to the final rounds, we are to compete against the red team. Unfortunately though for the red team, just a slip of .5 point against us and they lose their chance of playing in the finals. If they could have won 1 match from last night, they are in for the finals. So, go go go green!

one stop shop for laptops

I'm really not good when it comes to gadgets and tools. I cannot decipher which brand is better over the other. I cannot even tell what specifications to look for. It's a good thing though that if I'll just read enough, I can readily find guides in buying laptop computers online.

I wanted a laptop for Christmas and I don't realize that in buying one, there are these many categories to consider and to choose from. Including your budget, desktop replacement, thin and light, ultraportable, gaming, table PC and great battery life. You also have to consider the weight and portability, hard drive size, RAM, chip speed, number of ports, WiFi/bluetooth compatability and CD/DVD drive. While browsing, i think i really want to own a Sony Vaio notebook. Very slick and they come in different colors! Friends, i'm giving you a hint!

Hopping from one shop to another just to find that perfect laptop is kind of very tiring. So if i were you, i'd take no fuzz and just sit and browse. You get to find all the major computer brands there is. You only not get computer trivias, you might as well get tips on how to get the best.

pingpong 3rd match

Third match today against the blue team. Yahooo!!!! Alfer and I won against Charo and Reggie in the mix doubles category. Rachelle and I won against Libeth and Pai in the mix women's category. I was waiting for Ailyn to show up for the woman single's category but she stood me up! So, my last match would be against Ailyn, results of which will determine who's going to play in the finals. (oi pressure!)

jonalyna and macelle's despidida

Although they last set foot on the grounds of L*** Corporation last September 26, we had our despidida for Jona and Macelle last September 19 after the Sportsfest Opening Ceremony. We had dinner at Golden Cowrie in Lahug and went to K1 afterwards. As always, eating in Golden Cowrie is great - unlimited rice plus all those delicious filipino food! I'll skip posting photos of the food this time as someone by the name of Splat will die drooling at the pics. Haha!

pingpong 2nd match

Earlier was our 2nd match against the red team. Terai and I lost the game against Aisah and Princess. Aisah also defeated me in the singles category. Terai and her partner (i forgot the name) won against Aisah and Soc in the mix doubles category. I lost but it's okay. I'm learning a lot. I'm enjoying pingpong even more. Next match on Wednesday against the blue team...
