Last Monday night, I had a dinner meeting with my career counselor.  It was originally scheduled last Monday but due to an impromptu release, I was forced to cancel the counseling.  Anyway, I arrived at 630 pm in the Circles at Shangri-La Hotel.  My two other co-counselee was already there, a guy and a girl.  I forgot their name but the girl was cute.  She is a chubby Chinese.  Cute ng accent niya…  Typical Chinese siya magsalita… Mabilis at may punto yung iba niyang tagalong… hehehe… pero oks lang kasi cute siya kaso may boyfriend na… hehehe… Anyway, we ordered our drinks even if our counselor (Flor Lee) wasn’t there yet.  When Flor arrived, she told us to get our dinner already.  Wow… Sarap marinig yun ah… hehehe… It was a buffet.  Round 1… I ate chicken, roast duck, tempura, beef on stick, fish (lapu-lapu yata yun), marami pa hindi ko na maalala…. Basta puno yung plate ko… Kwento-kwento while eating… Round 2… roast beef, squid, grilled tahong, chicken, dim sum, marami pa hindi ko na ulit maalala… basta as usual puno nanaman ang plato… Kwento-kwento while eating… Round 3… Dessert galore… hehehe… hindi ko alam name nung mga kinuha ko basta chocolates sobra… syempre puno ulit ang plato… hehehe… nagice-cream pa ko… tapos nagfruits pa… hayyyy… grabe hindi na ko makahinga… I was the only one left eating since all of them were already finished and full.  Hindi ko na talaga maubos pero pinilit ko kasi minsan lang toh… hehehe… gluttony to the max… grabe… My stomach was harder compared to my head.  Hehehe…  Sarap sa Circles sana maulit ulit… para makalamon nanaman… hehehe…

Last Sunday, while on the way to our prayer meeting (household) at my neighbors place, I saw the moon. Grabe… It was so big, as if it was so near.  It was approximately 3 times as big as the size of an ordinary moon in the sky.  But what really struck me was its color.  It was color orange.  Scary… A friend of mine told me once that it was because of the pollution that the moon’s color is sometimes orange.  Pero scary parin… As if it was blood on the moon.  It was both mesmerizing and scary at the same time.    Sayang hindi ko napikturan… I wish I had a camera that could take a picture of the moon. haayyy…

Last Saturday, we had our whole day team building (from CMM Prizes – 2T for all green and 2T for TCM/PCM) from 10am to 10pm approximately.  I arrived at the Rockwell parking very early at around 930am since there were no traffic on the way there.  So I decided to sleep at the car.  Then Karren called me up and asked kung nasan na ko.  Nagising ako sa pagring ng cell phone ko.  Kainis ginising ako… hehehe… pero in a positive way masama pala yung natutulog sa loob ng car na nakabuhay pero nakapark… wow… utang ko pa ata ang buhay ko kay Karren… pero oks lang hindi naman ako marunong magbayad ng utang e… hehehe… Anyway, after ni Karren dumating na sina Allan and Lalaine then Oscar and Nanah a few minutes after then Evelyn and finally Aldrin and Leya.  Yahoooo… sa wakas magstart na ang wall climbing…

The end.

Last Friday night, my high school friends had a little get together since my friend would introduce his new girlfriend to us.  We usually have a get together on someone’s birthday, when something significant happens, or when we just feel going out and seeing each other.  We were suppose to meet at greenbelt at around 7pm but it’s already 8pm and they still haven’t texted me.  I told them to text me when they arrive at greenbelt since my office is only a 5 to 10 minutes walk to greenbelt.  Currently, there are two of us in my high school barkada that doesn’t have a girlfriend so I asked the other guy if he would bring a date with or not.  He told me no so I decided not to invite anyone to come with me.  At around 830pm, they told me that they were already at Soul Food at Greenbelt 3 so I followed immediately.  When I arrived there, I found out that my friend who told me he won’t bring a date brought one.  Damn… I felt a little irritated because I know I would feel OP.  Anyway, that is life.  I just did my best to fit in the group.  Fortunately, with my high spirited and funny trait, I fitted just fine.  I ordered Scallop pasta and bottomless Four Seasons.  The pasta was delicious but a little expensive.  As for the four seasons, I really didn’t like the taste of it.  Maybe I was so used with drinking the four seasons of Dole and the powdered four seasons’ drink that’s why I didn’t like the taste of the freshly made four seasons.  Bad trip hindi ko tuloy nasulit yung pagkabottomless nya dahil hindi ko nga gusto yung lasa… grrrrrrr… kainis… hehehe… Anyway, after eating kwento-kwento ng koti then the date of my friend had to go home.  Good thing for me because I won’t feel OP anymore.  Lakad-lakad sa greenbelt naghahanap ng magagawa… grabe ang sarap talaga maglibot sa greenbelt sa Friday night… busog na busog ang mata mo... hehehe… Kung pwede lang na basta na lang ako humatak dun ng girl at gawin kong girlfriend… ginawa ko na… hehehe… Anyway, wala kaming makita na pwedeng magawa sa greenbelt so we decided to just go to the Fort.  Our original plan was to eat and drink at Pier 1 but when we got there the queue on the entrance was so long so we just decided to find another bar.  We end up at KALdero located at the 3^rd floor of the building near Pier 1.  There was a live band performing there that’s why we decided to dine there.  Napilit ako uninom ng mga friends ko pero dahil ayoko ng lasa ng beer nagcocktail na lang ako… I ordered long beach ice tea (mixture of vodka, gin, and cranberry) and long island ice tea (mixture of vodka, gin, and coke).  Grabe dahil hindi ako sanay uninom… cocktail lang nahirapan na ko ubusin… dinaan ko na lang sa pagsabay sa pulutan at pagsabay sa water… hehehe… ang tagal ko bago naubos yung cocktail… mahigit 1 hour yata… hehehe… grabe cocktail lang tinamaan na talaga ako… nahilo ko… pero oks lang… kaya panaman… hehehe… nakakalakad pa naman… medyo dumaldal lang ng konti… hehehe… natapos kami at around 230am… tapos naguwian na… yun lang… grabe kaya ko pa kaya magwall climbing sa team building naming tomorrow… bahala na… hehehe…

Last Friday, may nakita akong spider sa desk ko.  Maliit lang sya pero hindi sya yung common na house spider.  Malamang kasi nasa office siya at wala sa bahay… hehehe… corny… Anyway, pinaglaruan ko sya kasi naaaliw ako sa kanya.  Gawa sya ng gawa ng sapot… tapos talon na sya ng talon… tapos ang ganda pa ng kulay nya… color black and yellow… nagflashback tuloy yung grade school years ko… hehehe… I use to play with spiders yung pinaglalaban-laban sa stick ng fish ball… hayyyy… I miss my childhood days tuloy… hehehe… Anyway, wala kami magawa ni Nanah (officemate-seatmate ko) kaya tinadtad namin ng picture yung spider… hehehe… nung nagsawa na ko nilagay ko sya sa box ng Nerds… buhay pa kaya yun… hehehe… yun lang…  kakanta na lang ako para humaba… hehehe…

The itsy bitsy spider

Crawled up the water spout

Down came the rain

And washed the spider out

Out came the sun

And dried up all the rain

And the itsy bitsy spider

Crawled up the spout again

Last Friday, some of us received a good news from our managers regarding our ratings and promotions.  Before going home, Oscar, Aldrin, Leah, and I had a little celebration by having a dinner at Max.  We were suppose to eat at Croc but the queue outside the restaurant was so long so we just decided to have our dinner at Max.  We ordered one whole chicken and sinigang na baboy.  I ordered a bottomless sago’t gulaman for my drinks since it was the first time I saw a restaurant that offers bottomless sago’t gulaman.  As usual dahil bottomless… sinulit ko… hehehe… naka 6 or 7 yata akong refill… kaya bundat na bundat ako after… naiinis na nga yata sakin yung nagrerefill e… hehehe… syempre double rice… grabe sayang lang yung diet routine (wheat bread, tuna spread, and lettuce) ko for the whole week… kasi lumamon ako sa Luk Yuen nung lunch at lumamon nanaman nung dinner sa Max… waaaaaaahhhhh… Anyway, that's all… Praise and thanks to God for the blessings…
