kris kringle!

I just had my confusing moments last week. I can't decide which codename to use for this year's Kris Kringle or Manita-Manito. Then again, i have to make up my mind...



This was last year's codenames: might want to guess, who was I? :)

Ailyn's bday!

Ailyn's birthday was on November 14 but she celebrated it today with her girlfriends at work. We decided to meet in SM since it would be less crowded. People this weekend are hauled in Ayala because of the weekend sale. We had lunch in Cafe Laguna. Ailyn and Charo arrived first then i arrived next. The busy mother, Lenny, arrived a little over before we were done eating. Oh my, we ordered lots of foods. It's like we were having a banquet, somewhat similar to San Diego banquets if you are really on a food trip. We strolled and went shopping afterwards. Whew! Really fun malling with the girls. Had coffee in Figaro after getting tired of roaming around. We had photos but i'll have to upload them next time. We chanced on Aisah and Nelbert (colleagues) in one of the boutiques. Charo and I went to Ayala afterwards and spent a few more hours strolling. It's a good thing i'm wearing flat sandals. Guess what? None of us went home without a new dress! Haha! :P

brownout!

I was literally just lazing, sitting and watching tv, changing channels every so often last night. I was bored but I was too lazy to move my butt and do something else or go elsewhere. I was gonna eay my dinner already and my boredom was cut short because sudddenly everything went off. Brownout! Or call it blackout. I'm really weird because i pursued eating my dinner anyway. Isn't it a challenge eating in the dark? LOL! Good thing, i found a candle and instantly transformed my dinner into a romantic one. The rain started pouring... it got creepy because thunders were so loud. It's as if i were in the movie 'War of the Worlds', thunders were roaring it felt it's going to eat me! I immediately covered the TV and mirrors with cloth. I don't know but i was always told by my mother to cover the TV and mirrors when there are lightnings. Then my mind wandered. I was imagining i have a house with cheap in-ceiling speakers to maximize acoustics? Maybe, viewing tv nor listening to music could be a whole new experience because sound effects is improved. Sounds cool huh!

one friend

is celebrating her birthday today. But we'll have the celebration on Sunday yet. You'll know who she is when i post pictures then. ;)
See yah!

mortgages

I have always wanted to become an accountant but perhaps i'm probably not destined to become one. I just realize i hate computing taxes anyway. :P That could have been one of my tasks had i landed a job as an accountant. Speaking of which, i was really surprised when i read in one of the company newsletters that my elementary classmate is already the new plant comptroller. Wow! Hurray to her! That's a blazing achievement for her age, our age. I was surprised because i didn't know she joined my company but her getting the position ain't a surprise. My friends are achievers! Yeah, i'm gloating. :P Ok, back to me not becoming an accountant. I also don't understand this thing called mortgage. So, it's really a pitty had i become an accountant. I do read that there are lots of types of mortgages and lots of companies offering services. Amerisave Mortgage is one of those and is one of the largest retail mortgage lenders in the US. So, if you're looking into mortgage firms, you might as well check them out.

why i blog?

Bloggers and the likes have various reasons why they blog. Personally, i blog because it is my avenue in letting out what i think and feel. Friends don't listen much of whatever you say. My journal, my blog, can take so much of what i can utter and pen. I get to hear other people's comments as well who may just have the same thoughts as i am. That's a bonus, right? Somehow, writing lets you connect to other people. In the corners of this world, someone is feeling what you are feeling and thinking of what you are thinking. I think that is pretty overwhelming. Some bloggers wish to inform. To share their expertise. To share a level of knowledge that others may have been looking for. One of those bloggers i stumble upon is Dennis Carey, an HR specialist. He got this very informative blog that HR practitioners could use of. Blogging is definitely one great medium for information exchange.
