Nothing special on this entry... I just wanted to show the different christmas trees I've encountered this year...

Last December 7, the Filipino SEA Games athletes held a victory parade at the streets of Makati.  It was the first time that the Philippines became the overall champion of the SEA Games.  My officemates (Aldrin, Lalaine, Nanah) and I waited eagerly at the Ayala sidewalk in front of MSE for the much anticipated parade.  We got a good spot and view since we’ve been waiting and standing at the sidewalk as early as 1:30pm and the parade was only scheduled to start at 2:00pm.  So there it was the triumphant athletes displayed there golds in front of the proud Filipinos.  One thing I liked in the parade was I saw Mikee Cojuanco Jaworski in person.  Wooowwww… She’s so pretty and charming in person.  I also saw the “wushu” commercial model of Sunsilk.  Ganda rin niya in person.  Another highlight of the parade was the Philippine SEA Games mascot.  I really like seeing mascots.  They never seize to amaze me.  Our parade viewing was capped by an Old fat man teaching the crowd the Filipino SEA Games dance.  To bad, I can’t show the dance step in this blog.  Hehehe…

Wala lang... nakasabay ko kasi sila sa may walkway papuntang glorietta... either nakakatuwa silang tingnan o mukha silang tangga tingnan... hehehe... Isang Kano at dalawang Japanese...

Hay nako… Bad trip talaga nung Monday.  Nakalimutan ko na may meeting pala kami ng 8pm.  Kaya yun na late ako.  Bad trip pa naman pag nalalate ka samin may penalty.  Napalibre tuloy ako ng yellow cab ng wala sa oras.  Buti na lang sinagot ni team lead yung P100 pero kahit na mahal parin kasi P495 ang nagastos ko.  Wow… P10 per minute late… Sarap… Ewan ko ba… Sa totoo lang naiinis ako dahil hindi ko feel manlibre dahil 46 minutes lang ako late.  Talagang pinagpilitan umabot ng 50 minutes para makalibre ng pizza.  Lahat na ng pwedeng idagdag sa score ko inisip na.  Lahat na ng paraan na pwedeng gawin para lang umabot ng 50pts ginawa na.  Kesyo ganyan… Kesyo ganto… Haaaaaaaayyyyyyyy… Wala naman akong magawa.  Wala naman akong laban e.  Wala naman ako kakampi e.  Syempre lahat sila gusto makalibre ng pizza.  Sino nga naman ang ayaw ng libreng pizza diba.  Wala lang… Naiinis lang ako buti sana kung late ako ng 60 minutes o 70 minutes.  Ok lang e… Kasi late talaga e.  Kaso pinagpilitan talaga mag 50pts e. Sakto pa…  Pero ok lang kasalanan ko naman e.  Ako naman ang nakalimot e.  Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy… Ang saya saya… Kinompute ko nga e.  Mas nakatipid ako kung nag leave na lang ako… Hehehe… Ok lang pasko naman e… Kaso mas marami akong gastos ng pasko e… Haaaaaaaayyyyyyyy… Sana nabusog ko kayong lahat… Makita ko lang kayong masaya… Masaya na rin ako… Makita ko lang kayong busog… Busog na rin ako… Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…  Yun lang…

P.S. Joke lang toh… Kunwari… Joke… Joke… Joke… Kunwari… Hehehe… Ang gulo…

Last Wednesday, our team spent our budget for our rewards & recognition by having a dinner at Heaven & Eggs at Glorietta.  I ordered country fried steak which includes 2 side dishes of my choice (mashed potato and pan cake) and two eggs cooked in my choice (scrambled and easy over).  For my drinks, I ordered house soda.  As usual it has to be bottomless.  Hehehe… House soda is a beverage wherein you could change your drink from one flavor to another unlike most bottomless drinks wherein you only have 1 choice.  The house soda flavors include vanilla, lychee, strawberry, lime, and root beer.  I chose strawberry for my first glass then change to root beer up until my last glass which I think was 5 glasses.  The reason for ordering bottomless is to drink as much as you can.  You’ll be stupid to order bottomless drink if you would only use up about 2 glasses.  Hehehe… Anyway, as usual sakin nanaman pinaubos yung mga hindi nila makain… Grabe… Busog na busog ako… Hindi ko na nga makain yung ibang tira e… Hehehe… Patay gutom… Hehehe…

Last Friday, Erwin (One of the master in Ariba and the Godfather of JPMC) celebrated his birthday in the office.  His birthday was on Sunday (November 27) but since there was no office on Sunday, he decided to treat us last Friday.  He bought two 18 inches Yellow Cub pizza for us.  I ate a total of four slices.  Wow busog nanaman… hehehe… The team gave him a fake (spoof) gift before giving him our real gift.  The fake gift was an Ariba manual wrapped in a Kamiseta bag.  We just wanted to see his reaction on our fake gift.  Hehehe… Actually it was our team lead’s idea.  Heehhe… Afterwards seeing his worried looks, we decided to give him our real gift a blue polo shirt.  We were supposed to give him an anime figurine of Naruto but it cost P1000 so we just decided to give him a shirt.

P.S.  I don’t know how old Erwin is… Just ask him if you want to know… Hehehe…

Last Wednesday and Thursday, I attended the Charcoal Sketching Class provided by Accenture.  The first day was just all lecture and practice.  We were taught how to create charcoal dust using sandpaper and a charcoal pencil and how to use the charcoal dust with a brush.  We were also taught the basic lighting and shadow philosophy of a picture.  The next day, was designated for our sketching proper.  We were provided with different pictures/portrait were we could choose from.  I chose to draw the church portrait.  Just refer to the pictures above to see the result of my drawing.  Muntik na ngang kunin nung professor ko sa ganda e… Binibili na nga nung mga iba kong classmates e… Hehehe… Isang malaking Joke…

Our client provided our team an apartment for 6 days, from Friday to Wednesday (November 18-23).  As usual, susulitin ko yan.  Hehehe… Anyway, I slept there on Friday and Sunday to Wednesday.  I wasn’t able to use the apartment on Saturday since I had a SFC activity that night.  The team took turn in availing the free breakfast.  I was able to avail the breakfast for Saturday and Monday together with Aldrin.  Nanah and Karren got it on Sunday morning.  Nanah was able to avail it again on Monday.  And our other teammate used it on Tuesday and Wednesday.  I also learned how to cook my own breakfast and dinner though it was all fried foods.  Hehehe… I had 3 longanisa and scrambled egg dinner on Tuesday, omelet (with cheese and potato) and 2 longanisa on Wednesday’s breakfast, corned beef on Wednesday’s lunch, 1 scrambled egg and chicken nuggets on Wednesday’s dinner, 3 longanisa and 1 Sunny side up egg for breakfast on Thursday, and omelet (with cheese and potato) and chicken nuggets for lunch.  Wowwww… Ang healthy naman… hehehe… Feeling ko nahigh-blood ako sa sobrang daming itlog and preserved foods na kinain ko for 3 days… hehehe… Anyway, I made a stupid mistake while cooking a longanisa for the first time.  I fried the longanisa with the plastic still on it.  I didn’t know that I was supposed to remove the plastic before cooking it.  So I end up sucking the meat out of the plastic when I ate it.  Parang ice candy… hehehe… As a whole, masaya naman yung stay ko sa hotel.  The place was comfortable plus I didn’t have to waste my time commuting for more than 2 hours a day and I didn’t have to wake up before 6 am every morning.

P.S.  Syempre inuwi ko lahat ng soap, shampoo, body wash, and lotion for souvenirs… Hehehe…
