I'm becoming hungry day after day. I got this craving for crunchy liempo, ice cream and haluhalo. Ummm... Yum yum... Good thing Aura is also hungry when I got to the office. So the first thing we did was to take lunch early. lol! We've decided to eat in Trellis. I know that their Crackling Liempo is delicious and I ask Aura to see for herself how it tasted. Aura and I ordered Crackling Liempo, rice and tomato salad as our side dish, buko sherbet for dessert and ice tea for refreshment. +++ Big Yellow Banana In the mean time, I brought 1.5 liter of Lipton Red Ice Tea, Asado Pan de sal and a big yellow banana. I'm planning to eat this for snack. Yeah... I did ate lunch. I'm full. But as a growing boy, I still have to eat. Don't I?

Thursday night and I was surprised to see Pizza on my pedestal.  Hmmm... Alden's been saying he'll treat pizza since 6 months ago and I think the moment has come. lol What could be the occassion why Alden decided to treat pizza? Could it be because he got a raise or something? So here we are - our wonderful team @ our cafeteria. From right: Alden, Aura, Alvin & ME. See I look really small?! lol James was absent for a week because of tooth problem and he'll surely miss this once in a lifetime experience. lol! By the way, Mark, our Lotus Admin, is the one taking our pictures. +++ Have you noticed the Aura's hair is well fixed? She had it rebonded that's why its soooo straight. And the day prior to this, she was asking if I have a comb. Do you think I have a hair to comb?

I've been thinking of changing the design of my blog... Hmmm... You see, I haven't been blogging for quite some time now and the last time I changed the theme of my blog was a year ago. I used fresh benok - the design of my old myspace/multiply account. Now, I'm thinking of having a different design. Something that would keep "katingisip" as the brand and I'll just use benok as the author. I want something that has a logo on top, a recent post as the first highlighted entry, on the side would be a video entry and then a side bar that shows the list of entries and some labels. Something like this... Green is not my fave color but I like it on my blog. I'd probably use something blueish...  Hmmm... Thinking... thinking... thinking...

I just got off the gym and I was soooo tired. I never thought RPM was tiring. I was virtually breathless when the class ended. My knees are shaking and my butt is aching because of hard seat. It was fun though. The class is almost full. I entered the room 5 mins before 7 and I got the 15th bike. Nobody's seating in front of me and a lot of people are took the back. I didn't know it was RPM. I thought it was just the regular cycling which is easier yet more exciting. RPM is different. It made me really tired... Although its like cycling where you pedal along with the music, RPM's intensity is different. Or its just the bike I'm using? I dunno... I got tire! That's it...

Aura ate pizza, James is absent and I have a lot of things to do coz its Wednesday. So I've decided to buy Japanese dimsum, 1.5 liter of Tropicana Fruit juice and my favorite Tostas bread. My reports seemed to overflow on this day and with addition of special projects, I don't think I have time to go around and buy food later on.  But its ok because I can balance my work and time. I perfect in multitasking. Aura calls me "halimaw" when it comes to this kind job. Aura calls me "halimaw" when it comes to this kind job. Halimaw means monster. She's really amazed at how I do things. I can do reports, listening to music, update blog, edit graphics for the project, write programming scripts, chat with managers who ask out of this world questions and eat. lol! Eating wont be left coz I love eating. hehe! I eat but I dont get fat. That's the best thing about it.

Even though times are harder, my company is very generous in giving treats. It makes us employees become inspired in our endeavor. I was out last Friday so I got to receive two Friday treats. A notebook and a recycled shopping bag. I like the shopping bag because I can use it without carrying a lot of plastic. I can request the store not to my stuffs in plastic instead I use my own. Less plastic; less trash. I got to help mother earth from preventing pollution.

I cant believe I still have a copy of some of my previous work. I used to design magazine covers. This is way back 2001 when Photoshop is not as powerful as today's.

May 15 and I’m on PTO. I’m in my house in Imus when my CK shades got delivered in my apartment in Makati. I was surprised when my mom told me that my sunglass is there. I’m not sure how much is it when you bought it in store but I think it cost something. I didn’t buy it though. I got it for FREE when my Metrobank Mastercard got approved.

  At last, the Olympus mu killer has arrived! The new Canon PowerShot D10 Digital Camera is a compact and powerful digital camera for adventurist, like me! Hehe! I like this digicam because it allows me to point and shoot in virtually any place and environment I’m in. May it be under water, up in the clouds, and best of all its water and shock resistant.   To know more about this cool gadget, click the link below. PowerShot D10 Digital Camera

For those who have missed the game, too bad, here's a recorded version of Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton fight. Please be quiet because Hatton is sleeping. So hush hush... Thanks!

I was about to go home when I noticed a Nokia recycling box. It was really pretty so I approached the box. As I got closer, I noticed that they’re not only recycling old or broken battery, battery chargers and old phones. They also recycle used plastic caps and other trash.

Yesterday, Saturday, May 2, 2009, I was walking along Bonifacio High Street when I noticed a group of people around the Nike store. OMG! Its really early at around 8am and their waiting for the store to open. Well, there might be a new shoe. So check it out. At the end of Bonifacio High Street is the Puma store. I noticed a group of red circles hanging on the stores. lol... they're on sale too. But they're opening late and no group of people waiting. Check them out too...

Manny Pacquiao wins in round 2 of the Pacquiao-Hatton bout today in Las Vegas. The fight took about 2 minutes and 51 seconds before Hatton got knocked down. More details soon.

At last! My Globe Duo line is now working! Well, it was working 3 weeks ago when I first used it. I can call any landline in the Metro for free and unlimited use. However, there's only one number that I cant really really make a call. Its my brother's wired landline line he subcribed alsoo from Globe. SO what I did was to make a call last Holy week. It was a whole week of holiday that's why I had to wait for Monday to follow up on the issue. I did not, however, I called on a Tuesday thinking that it might have been resolved on Monday, but it WASN'T. I called up a week after and it still not working. Then I called up another week after and dang it... still not working! Well, I've been a subscriber of Globe for more than 5 yrs now and they're not taking actions? OMG! Last call I made was Wednesday, April 29, 2009. I told them that they better take actions about it or else, I'm gonna cancel all my Globe transactions I have including my family, and friends... Th...

Stephanie, our pretty boss, let us come home early. BI is Business Intelligence and since we're soooo intelligent, we're going home! hahaha! Kidding! Really, we're not going home yet. James is going to Tagaytay, Aura is going to Alchemy and I'm going out of town. Its Saturday morning here in Manila and to kill time, we went for a break @ Fiorgellato. I got my Laffeee and my Nokeee... Lol! Nokee is my Nokia 5800. haha! Kidding! Its early in the morning but I wanted a Melon Shake for a change. Hope that my stomach wont ache. haha!

Before I bought my new LaffEee, Acer Aspire One is one of my options. The rivalry between the Asus EeePC 1000HE and Aspire One 10" is the battery life. I decided to buy the one with the longer battery life so I dont have to carry the charger whenever I travel. All I need is a well charged laptop and I'm all set. This week, Acer Aspire One 11.6" notebook has been officially launched on their German site. Its got the latest Intel Atom processor, screensize of about 11.6 inches. At a 6-cell battery, it can run up to 8hours, it lacks 1.5 hours of battery on Asus EeePC 1000HE. Here's the full specs of the new Acer Aspire: Operating System Genuine Windows ® XP Home Edition Genuine Windows Vista ® Home Basic Processor & Chipset Intel ® Atom ™ processor Z520, supports Intel ® 32 Architecture Mobile Intel ® Express Chipset US15W Memory channel with a single SODIMM slot DDR2 667/800 MHz SDRAM memory interface design SODIMM slot: Supports 512 MB / 1 GB / 2 GB SODIMM for tota...
