Be Gone for 2 Weeks

I know, I'll be blogless again.

It's past 1PM, I'm already packed, ready to go. I just have to take a bath later and dress up for another long trip.

I'll be with PAL again, my trip is 8PM and supposed to land in Australia at 8AM (their time). I'll be joining another workshop training and I'm supposed to train it here in our Bacoor Site. Badly, I needed some money - pero super short talaga ko. Salary last time wasn't enough, haaaaaaaaaay, I'm not yet blown and freaked out but sooner or later, I will be.

Come to think of it, last time na umalis ako about a month ago I have my period then, and it was also raining that time, same same now - it's raining outside.

I'll post again if I have time. :)

Bye for now.

Freaky Friday

The news is in, we're heading to AUstralia again tomorrow. Haaaaaaaaay, I don't know if I'll be happy or what or whatever. I don't have money, we have nothing. Our pocket money is still being processed so goodluck na lang sa mga credit cards and advance chorveees. Haaaaaaaay.

I'm alone with the class supporting whatever they need so medyo super busy ako, take note - di pa ko nakakapagpaload ng needed amount.

Super goodluck talaga sa mga super things na kelangan kong gawin at magawa. Naman! hirap ng life!

Another Darling!

Sorry for posting too much about KC. I really like watching it, hehe.
Here's a teaser of her ABS CBN documentary to be aired on Sunday - too bad I won't be here in Manila. Anyway, I'll be able to watch it naman siguro from You Tube, di nga lang real time.

Yeah! Enjoy!

KC Meets Korina

I missed watching this interview. Kc is such a superstar talaga.

Remyxx Get Together

After about more than a year, REMYXX finally has set aside some time to see each other; or at least for me, rina, hazel and ivy!

pasalubong giving - it should be, but we couldn't stop talking from the start till end of the night!

we decided to meet in Glorietta last night. Rina was there with her brother and shopped for few goodies while waiting for us. Hazel arrived before me then Ivy. Both of the girls (hazel and rina) with rina's brother are huddling in McDo when I got there. We exhanged stories while waiting for Ivy. after about ordering an ice cream (by rina :) ), ivy finally arrived. Jologs na kung jologs but there were picture taking and so many laughing out loud. It has been really a long time. After some time, we headed to greenbelt to make tambay. That's when we hand over our pasalubong. Rina gave ivy a shimmering lavander lotion from Victorias Secret and a kikay bag. Hazel got a Victoria Secret Perfume and an Aeria super see-through underwear in blue green color. I got another Victoria Secret shimmering lotion and a matching Aeria super see-through underwear with Bax but in old rose color. -- Thanks for all the pasalubong sis!

After a while I gave my girlfriends the boomerang I bought from Australia. I know it's not even personalized but I've been to Australia for only 2 weeks, no really time to shop that much - sorry girls. I'll make bawi na lang.

We went back to the mall to grab some snack sine Rina has been craving for a palabok. Kwentuhan and kainan it is!

The rest - missing in action... paramdam na lang mga girls.

The night ended when Marvin picked me up from Glorietta to have a late night dinner. I made paalam to go ahead and I'll make sure to see them again.

Love you all remyxx! :)

PS. I was able to watch Entourage later that --- morning :)
nice episode. :)

Fully Loaded

Here I am blogging about nonsense.

I've been really busy -- errr, tamad lang siguro so I can't find time to do things I need to do. As in, when I say I need more than 24 hours per day to do things I need to do - I mean it!

Australia trip has been moved instead of this weekend, I believe we're flying on 22nd.

I have not contacted remyxx yet regarding my approval on Friday, pero di pa nila naseset, ok na ko dun. hehe.

I'm sleepy, tired, exhausted and bloated, hahahaha!

I have pending simulator due at the end of the month but since I'm flying again this Saturday, I can't really find time to do it. Waaaaaaaaah, pwede ba more than 24 hours na lang umikot and mundo so I can finish my tasks?

Relationship Check: Rocky
Uhmmm, here's the time of the year when everything just falls off.

Money Check: Still same shit.
No money, manahimik ka Mae! :) hehe. I need a digicam soon before I fly again to Australia para naman I can take pictures on my own, hehe - I'm so poor. harhar, so magtipid - nah, la sa vocabulary ko eh, haaaaaaaaaay. :)

Body Check: As heavy as I could get, hahaha!
Just had facial yesterday, finally after like so many months! My goodness gracious! Kasi naman hataw sa overpricing mga facial centres ngayon, pag naman sa derma walang ka-care care. Wish ko lang mag OK OK na ung mukha ko noh, for life na ata akong ganito.
Hmp.

Hot News!

Officially, I'm going back to Australia... again - for two weeks.

Haay, hindi ko pa na-uupdate BLOG ko, lalarga na naman ako. talaga naman!
Thank you Lord, haha! I really enjoyed my stay there kahit na hindi ko pa sya nabloblog ng maayos. Pasensya na talaga. I've been training and really burdened with so many things sa work.

Remyxx, naman, kunin nio pasalubong nio saken no - haha! kundi ibebenta ko to, wehehehe. I'm really happy that I can go back to Melbourne. Haay, sana this time di na maubos sa pasalubong ung pera ko. Can't really blog much. I just want to share the good news.

PS - I'm having a hard time getting all my Melbourne pics all together. Dahil nga wala akong digicam - yes, i know I'm poor - nakikishot lang ako sa mga kachorva ko - hahaha! Our PC has been going crazy this past few days - so nahihirapan ako magtransfer.

Nga pala, cguro excited ng umuwi ung isa jan - Sis, don't forget the pasalubong. haha! Ako muntik na magbayad ng 500AUD sa airport dahil sa excess baggage. Haaaay. Lesson learned. So never again!

Details of my autralian travel will have to be postponed for the meantime. :)

So many things to do, so little time! :)

Basta, THANK YOU LORD! :)

Fresh from Australia!!!

Yes! Yes! I'm back after two weeks of being away without my blog - paksyet kasi, ala akong laptop noh, di katulad ng iba jan - haha, nakakablog in a roaming mode!

Anyway, my blog has been put to sleep because I have to fly to Australia for a Training/ Workshop there. Whew, it was an experience worth remembering and every second of it was soooooooo worth it.

We, together with 3 co-trainers, flew last Saturday, August 18 to Melbourne, Australia. It was a direct flight so no hassles really of going down the plane and all that. Our company's travel agency booked us for the 9PM flight. We landed on Melbourne on August 19, 8AM (Australian Time). Actually, it was an 8hour trip but Melbourne time is advanced by 2hours.

Two weeks lang ako dun pero I really enjoyed every minute I spent there. Parang I felt na kaya ko at gusto kong mabuhay dun. I never had an experience of a COLD WEATHER. As in naman, there were times na doble doble jackets ko sa sobrang lamig. Meron pang time na 15 degrees Celsius and temperature nila na windy pa - whoah, as in malamig - nice nice nice. Ang pinaka gusto ko eh ung time na pag umaga or anytime during the day, pag humihinga ka eh may usok na lumalabas sa bibig moh, haha - kala ko sa movies lang un eh.

Naka ikot din ako sa city ng Melbourne although sa suburb talaga kami nagstay for two weeks. I didn't get to see much but I saw the Melbourne Aquarium and Pixar. I was able to shop goods din for my family and my extended family. haaaaaaaaaaaay.

Nagkanda loko loko din kami ng mga kasama ko sa airport! grabe talagang experience itoh.

Anyway, lam ko sis, ikaw lang ang fan ng blog ko - haha, but kung sakaling meron pang iba - I'll make sure to update my blog with the things that happened to me in Australia! I'm excited to share it sana excited din kayo magbasa.

Sis, uuwi ka na! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What A Day!

With all the things I've been thinking and the shopping I've been doing - blogging seems to be put on rest! --- so sorry!

Last Thursday, Marvin and I agreed to meet up before the mall opens so we can start our marathon shopping. Since we're both on leave last Friday, we decided to waste our time malling.

I didn't realize my cell batt had one bar na lang, and so it went dead. Instead of meeting before 10PM, past 11Pm na ata kami nagkita. It was terribly raining! - I swear! malalaki ung rains and baha talaga... Marvin and I were in shorts and slippers. :) Hindi ako pwede magshorts kasi I have post varicella scars :( so 3/4's na lang. Rob Manila is on 3-day sale! Kita mo nga naman. ahahaha. I'm happy cause I have money to spend kahit not much. Just bought new stuff to bring to Australia that I can also use here. I just realized I totally need some office wears - new ones - hihihi.

I got home past 8PM and started fitting the things I bought and started packing. As I write this, ENTOURAGE is currently showing in HBO. I'm hurrying to finish so I can watch too.

It's 12:24AM na (Saturday morning) and I'm still here blogging. :) I have to things pa to do later so I have to ciao for now!

.............. to AUSSIE, here I come...................... :)

Gulo ng entry ko - sensya na, windang pa ko - dami ko pa kelangan gawin and yet so little time!

Finally.. we're to aboard

Hay, After all these hopeful prayers and wishful thinking - the Australian trip is to push through.
Flight is on the 18th, a day earlier than expected at 8PM Manila via PAL.

I'm so busy packing, thinking of clothes to wear and to buy cause their temperature ranges from 7.2 C to 17 C -- have to think wisely of clothes I have to buy that I can wear here in manila too.

I need a wardrobe revamp!.. and I need it asap! :)

Monday: Ultimately Injured

Because of the newly purchased shoes that I didn't get to rehearse in wearing, I ended up with 3 blisters on each foot. Yup, I wasted 14 band aids for it, hay buhay. I walked from MOA southwing to North wing then to TeleTech - that's why I got paltos.

At the end of the shift, 1AM - I had to call for rescue. I was picked up by big bro with SLIPPERS! so I can go home and rest. hehehe

I felt bad!

Anyway, I got the Cash Advance Check already but no tickets or Visa yet...

Quality Time

Saturday..

I was on leave Friday shift so I didn't get to meet marvin on a Saturday morning when he arrived back from Lipa. Fortunately though, we agreed to meet after lunch. We initially planned to watch a movie since we haven't really seen one for quite some time.

Come after lunch, we didn't see a movie because most of the films showing now... napanood na niya - from a pirated DVD. haaaaaaaaaaaaay

We ended up walking lang sa mall, not to mention my first dine at Bacolod Inasal. I scouted a cheap SHUBIZZ shoes, haha - another good buy.

I was home mga 10PM na. There.
Wala pa ring VISA, I'm starting to doubt na. Will the Australian trip be cancelled?

And The Shopaholic Strikes Back!

... because it's sweldo day and I need a slight change in wardrobe, I dragged Kae right after school and begun our shopping spree. Ngek, I remember one time when I shopped about 10K in one day - hihi, nope.. that didn't happen because I looked for items that are severely and ultimately cheap but good buys.

I fairly need another pair of pants, polos for office, office shoes and some blazer. In less than 6K, I got 2 pieces of Bench Slacks, 3 blouses bought from ForMe and Surplus, 2 warmers bought from ForMe, a classic black coat bought from Surplus, and a fashionable Celine shoes in P499.00 - that's what I call super steal! Imagine, I didn't buy more than 700 today. My blouses before were Maldita, Plains and Prints and their regular prices are 700up - so I'm happy that I didn't get to spend much now but I did buy the things I need.

Maybe couple of pants more, another shoes and a designer bag will really make me contented for the next quarter - haha.

To my BF who doesn't get to read this every time, anniversary is near na - I hope you buy me nalang uhmmmm - another havaianas (metallic), a huge office bag, my dream Nine West stilettos or kahit Sale ng Celine! :), another Marissa Levis pants

Hmmmmmn, because of this, it made me wanted to post my wishlist(mga pwede makuha over short period of time), ano nga ba

• another pair of havaianas
• another pair of Happy Feet
• collection of converse Chucks
• People are People shoes
  
• a Nine West pump or stiletto
• Maldita bag and or Trench Coat/ Regular Coat
• good fitting slacks
• levis marissa jeans
• loafers!
• digicam - 8 or 10 MP, gusto ko canon or Sony :)
• Dell Laptop, Inspiron E1505, or any Eseries ng Inspiron, the high-end, the better
  
• pwede rin MacBook :)
• I don't know what cellphone I want - hmmmm, nothing in particular at the moment - hehe
  

Malapit na pasko! Mamili na lang kayo jan ha!? :)

It's Captivating.. Amazing

It's Adobe Captivate!

I'm not sure how long this application has been available in the market but it was previously called Macromedia Captivate before Macro and Adobe merged. I tried to research on this product because I saw from Accenture's job posting that one qualification of the specific job I'm reading should be particular with this tool. Indeed, this baby is one powerful tool that masters interactive simulation and walk throughs without the knowledge of programming and extensive flash. I really really liked it because I've been with D/X/HTML for long and I've been wanting to study flash but I just always turn it down cause I find it really complex. I don't have the luxury of time to study it and go in depth about it - not yet. But with captivate, it makes your project really easy by doing the job for you. I sat down for about 15 minutes and viola! - a simulation right at your very own eye. Almost all of the features I would want to have in a specific sim is here. :)

I'm excited to finish my newest project for the team after my OS Vista which not to mention ended with a whopping 45MB file. Hopefully with a compress version of an SWF File, I can have a simulator in a smaller scale.

I'm using a TRIAL version, sana makakita ko ng crack! hihihihi.

Nice Adobe! Thanks!

More than Answered (Extreme Weather Worldwide!)

kung ano man nangyayari saten ngayon is more than an answered prayer.

It started pouring drizzles last Sunday, it'll rain but it'll stop so medyo may mainit pareng factor tuwing afternoon. Local News even reported that this kind of rain is not enough to raise the waters sa dam for 5million people's consumption.

Church has been appealing to everyone to pray for rain. Kasi naman, 2 months hindi umulan sa Pilipinas which were considered to be 'tag-ulan' months. Super answered prayer ng simbahan, umulan nga.

Come Monday, eto na si bagyo na hindi ko alam kung ano pangalan. Ayos lang, medyo ok pa naman ung ulan - normal lang, magaan na ambon kahit walang tigil. According to PAGASA, it would not hit the Philippines, habagat lang kung aakyat sya diretso ng Japan. PagAsa said sana storm takes Taiwan path na lang para tamaan tayo ng bagyo.

Tuesday until now Wednesday, di pa tumitigil ang malakas na ulan na may hangin. Kaninang umuwi ako ng 7AM in the morning, nilusong ko ung flats ko sa tubig with more than 8inches na baha, saya di ba? Currently, as I write this naglilimas si Kae sa kusina namen sa likod ng tumataas ng tubig.

Sana lang wag umabot sa extent na people's lives would be affected badly. Baka paghinto naman ng ulan ipagdasal naten.


Here's what I have from Yahoo!

Early 2007 saw record-breaking extreme weather: U.N.

GENEVA (Reuters) - The world experienced a series of record-breaking weather events in early 2007, from flooding in Asia to heatwaves in Europe and snowfall in South Africa, the United Nations weather agency said on Tuesday.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said global land surface temperatures in January and April were likely the warmest since records began in 1880, at more than 1 degree Celsius higher than average for those months.

There have also been severe monsoon floods across South Asia, abnormally heavy rains in northern Europe, China, Sudan, Mozambique and Uruguay, extreme heatwaves in southeastern Europe and Russia, and unusual snowfall in South Africa and South America this year, the WMO said.

"The start of the year 2007 was a very active period in terms of extreme weather events," Omar Baddour of the agency's World Climate Program told journalists in Geneva.

While most scientists believe extreme weather events will be more frequent as heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions cause global temperatures to rise, Baddour said it was impossible to say with certainty what the second half of 2007 will bring.

"It is very difficult to make projections for the rest of the year," he said.

HEALTH CRISIS

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a U.N. umbrella group of hundreds of experts, has noted an increasing trend in extreme weather events over the past 50 years and said irregular patterns are likely to intensify.

South Asia's worst monsoon flooding in recent memory has affected 30 million people in India, Bangladesh and Nepal, destroying croplands, livestock and property and raising fears of a health crisis in the densely-populated region.

Heavy rains also doused southern China in June, with nearly 14 million people affected by floods and landslides that killed 120 people, the WMO said.

England and Wales this year had their wettest May and June since records began in 1766, resulting in extensive flooding and more than $6 billion in damage, as well as at least nine deaths. Germany swung from its driest April since country-wide observations started in 1901 to its wettest May on record.

Mozambique suffered its worst floods in six years in February, followed by a tropical cyclone the same month, and flooding of the Nile River in June caused damage in Sudan.

Uruguay had its worst flooding since 1959 in May.

Huge swell waves swamped some 68 islands in the Maldives in May, resulting in severe damage, and the Arabian Sea had its first documented cyclone in June, touching Oman and Iran.

Temperature records were broken in southeastern Europe in June and July, and in western and central Russia in May. In many European countries, April was the warmest ever recorded.

Argentina and Chile saw unusually cold winter temperatures in July while South Africa had its first significant snowfall since 1981 in June.

The WMO and its 188 member states are working to set up an early warning system for extreme weather events. The agency is also seeking to improve monitoring of the impacts of climate change, particularly in poorer countries which are expected to bear the brunt of floods, droughts and storms.

Grabe na ito, we need to continuously pray for everyone's safety.

Thank You!

Just a simple and a big THANK YOU Lord, for always being there and for everything.



Yours Always,

Just Guide Me Please..

ST. THOMAS AQUINAS: PRAYER FOR GUIDANCE

O creator past all telling,
you have appointed from the treasures of your wisdom
the hierarchies of angels,
disposing them in wondrous order
above the bright heavens,
and have so beautifully set out all parts of the universe.

You we call the true fount of wisdom
and the noble origin of all things.
Be pleased to shed
on the darkness of mind in which I was born,
The twofold beam of your light
and warmth to dispel my ignorance and sin.

You make eloquent the tongues of children.
Then instruct my speech
and touch my lips with graciousness.
Make me keen to understand, quick to learn,
able to remember;
make me delicate to interpret and ready to speak.

Guide my going in and going forward,
lead home my going forth.
You are true God and true man,
and live for ever and ever.

--St Thomas Aquinas, 1225-74

The Greenhouse Effect

The atmosphere has a natural supply of "greenhouse gases." They capture heat and keep the surface of the Earth warm enough for us to live on. Without the greenhouse effect, the planet would be an uninhabitable, frozen wasteland.

Before the Industrial Revolution, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere was in a rough balance with what could be stored on Earth.

Natural emissions of heat-trapping gases matched what could be absorbed in natural sinks. For example, plants take in CO₂ when they grow in spring and summer, and release it back to the atmosphere when they decay and die in fall and winter.

Too Much Greenhouse Effect

Industry took off in the mid-1700s, and people started emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases. Fossil fuels were burned more and more to run our cars, trucks, factories, planes and power plants, adding to the natural supply of greenhouse gases.

The gases -- which can stay in the atmosphere for at least fifty years and up to centuries -- are building up beyond the Earth's capacity to remove them and, in effect, creating an extra-thick heat blanket around the Earth.

The result is that the globe has heated up by about one degree Fahrenheit over the past century -- and it has heated up more intensely over the past two decades.

If one degree doesn't sound like a lot, consider this: the difference in global average temperatures between modern times and the last ice age -- when much of Canada and the northern U.S. were covered with thick ice sheets -- was only about 9 degrees Fahrenheit.

So in fact one degree is very significant -- especially since the unnatural warming will continue as long as we keep putting extra greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Entourage is Back!

Yes they're back with brand new episodes. I super love this series from HBO. Catch them too.

PICTURES ARE FROM - HBO

HBO presents Entourage, the hit comedy series executive produced by Mark Wahlberg that takes a look at the day-to-day life of Vincent (Vince) Chase, a hot young actor in modern-day Hollywood, and his entourage. He's brought with him from their hometown in Queens, NY: manager Eric, half-brother Drama, and friend Turtle. The series draws on the experiences of industry insiders to illustrate both the heady excesses of today's celebrity lifestyle, as well as the difficulty of finding love and success in the fast track of show biz. Now that the boys are getting used to the perks of stardom, Eric, along with superagent Ari, keep Vince's star rising while making sound decisions for a long-lasting career in a world of fleeting fame.

Adrian Grenier ("Drive Me Crazy," "Hart's War") stars as Vince. Kevin Connolly ("Antwone Fisher," "John Q") plays Eric, Vince's closest confidant who's learning the rules of the business as he tries to help Vince make the right choices and keep his trajectory aimed high. Kevin Dillon ("The Doors," "Platoon") plays Vince's half-brother Drama, whose own acting aspirations have been eclipsed by Vince's success. Jerry Ferrara ("Grounded for Life," "Leap of Faith") plays Turtle, the house manager, who's always up for a good time. Jeremy Piven ("Old School," "The Larry Sanders Show") plays Ari, Vince's aggressive, high-powered agent, who clashes with Eric over his client's decisions.

Also appearing in ENTOURAGE are Debi Mazar ("Goodfellas," "The Tuxedo") as Vince's publicist Shauna and Rex Lee as Lloyd, Ari Gold's much-maligned assistant.
