Post Storm!!!

A lot has happened since the last time I posted due to the generic excuse of being too busy or wanting to do justice to the event/post. So here I am in bulacan on Christmas day, typing on yomiko and hoping to be able to catch up on my writing.


Between what is right and what is easy...

I've already established that my body can not survive on prolonged periods of stress, but here I am falling into that situation all over again. Be it for better or worse, I have made a decision and submitted my resignation from Cube and will be officially out of there by January 19.

I did think about it well, but I still question that decision up to now. Was it the right decision, the easy one or absolutely wrong? Was it wise or was it foolish?


December 29 night out:

It was a tense and stressful day for people in the office. It was uncomfortable enduring comments like 'buti pa si bmac', when my path ahead is just as unknown. So the people wanted to drink their blues away and we ended up drinking at Masas bar in greenbelt.

I felt so pathetic for getting woozy after 2 bottles of strong ice. But I'll wave that away and blame it on lack of sleep :P


December 23 night out:

After Christmas based celebrations in the office, it was time to go on a night out with old friends: pips from SAL. First batch were me, tseri, richie and m's for dinner at Fish & co. then drinks at Tia Mare. Joining us later were Mayk, Ren and Chau for a piyok-fest at Red Box. It was fun catching up and talking about plans, misadventures and rumors.


Search for gifts

It was a hard and daunting task to look for gifts to give away this Christmas. It took me 2 passes in 2 days to scan all the shelves and displays to look for ideal gifts. Good thing Mika is there to supply me with secret items as level 2 gifts and I found nice hair kikay kits to give out. Chose 2 good books to give to my inaanak Sophia(which I haven’t delivered btw).

ePLDT Xmas Party

Its was a Matrix-themed party filled with drinking and dancing. Filled myself up with san mig lights and danced like a crazed person.

Infocom Xmas Party

My first company xmas party so I tried to enjoy it though at the back of my mind, I was already planning to leave. Didn’t win any of the prizes so it wasn’t complete for me…

Third ‘official’ GodChild

DualView!

Due to the demands of a project I’m working on, I took the monitor from my older pc and set-up rebirth as dual-view. Now my desktop real-estate space is 2560x1024. So now I have Mac flash and word side by side to improve my development speed. I still have to fight against my own laziness though :P


November Baguio Trip:

On the second long weekend my officemates and I went on an expedition to baguio to get away from the busy city life. Tseri and Ther had most of everything planned out like where we stayed and allotments for food & drinks.

To make a long story short: Ukay, Grotto, Minesview, the Mansion, Buy, Drink… Drunk, Poker, dishwash, Movie, Drink… Drunk , Cook, went Home. Bow

Need for Speed Most Wanted:

I used to be addicted to NFS Underground to the point that my fingers grew in-growns. One of my officemates suggested that I download Most Wanted which I did. It took me a weekend to figure out how to make it run properly but it was sure worth it. In a nutshell, its NFS underground 2 and NFS Hot Pursuit combined. The main goal is to defeat 15 of the best blacklist racers in the city to get back your car that was cheated away from you. Of course it involves clashes with the local police, fighting against their best drivers, roadblocks, spike strips, SUVs and even a police helicopter. The new version includes stunning graphics, a wide array of cars and incredible challenges. Its not much of a stress reliever because you’ll probably stress yourself out trying to win. Grab this title if you love to race or just screw up police cars :D

Jewel in the Palace:

Call me jologs but having watched a couple of episodes with my mom, I could honestly say that his is a good series. I also pitied my mom losing sleep having to wait for it to be aired everyday. I eventually decided to download it from the net… a staggering 18GB download. Now the only problem is my mom is still losing sleep… watching up to 4 episodes(4 hours) a night. Bohahahhahaahahh.
