'green' and bear with me

i really should start writing my entries and post them as soon as i think of them. no more proscrastinating.

it just so happened that i have this entry lined up.. it already has a title and at least one sentence that would hopefully have reminded me of why im writing about it. unfortunately, it hasnt helped. so im forced to scrap that entry and replace it with this useless one. haha.. well not exactly useless, its just that it hasnt  added anything useful to my page....

anyway, i have to constantly remind myself to write, write, write...

saw karl velhagen last night at a japanese restaurant my fmaiyl frequents. funny because i was about to tell my dad that he looks exactly like karl velhagen only older so im thinking maybe its his older brother. turns out it was him. well i was surprised when he greeted me and my dad. of course he knows my dad from way back in hs. and he was jsut being polite. good to see you again karl.

so my camera died on me almost a year and a half ago. i bought a new batt for it last saturday and voila... its as if nothing happened to it. and look what i found inside... pictures from last year that i almost forgot... so theres the laiya trip, my 25th birthday party, my bday lunch at the office, my birthday dinner with my family and random christmas pics from 2009. haha... ooooold... anyway, im uploading all of them now...

speaking of pictures and uploading them, i cant store all of my pcitures in flckr, coz apparently, they need me to sign up for a minimal fee of something dollars so that i can store all my pictures there. so can anyone suggest any other website to me?

the clocks ticking.... im down to my last 2 weeks and im having second thoughts about what i did. but thats just it. im thinking that this is a good change. it just that im doing a lot of things in my current office right now that i wasnt doing before. hence the move. but what itf all of it is just a front for me to stay. that once i go back and retract my resignation, theyre going to delegate me back to menial tasks. im doing all my best to give a good impression to my team. ill go out with a bang.

i havent had coffee for the longest time. i mean i dont usually drink coffee so it doesnt bother me that much. but i just realized that i havent had my favorite green tea soy latte for almost a year now. yay!

just saying.

Binondo.

Marie was craving siopao since last month so we all decided to help her out and venture into binondo, manila's own chinatown. since it isnt everyday that marie is here in manila, it was decided that we would all go to chinatown on the weekend that stephanie was here. anyway, the fateful sunday came. everyone was excited. unfortunately, traffic was heavy. i come from the south and it took me almost 1 1/2 hours just to get to qc to meet up with some of my friends. we have to then cross espana to get to binondo. i cant really say that it was worth it. but it was a really good travel/ eating experience with friends. we bought some authentic chinese goodies from chinese grocery stores and stalls. took a picture of the ongpin street sign. and had a good lunch at wai ying. we've tasted their food before but in a different branch. have to say it was the same old food and the same old service. nothing new. even if it was a different branch. 

Bowling.

tracey's treat for her birthday is bowling. so we had a best of 3 game challenge. it was steph, marie, owen (special guest for one game) and me versus ding, tek, susi and karen. so round one went to us and round two went to the other team. it was a very close fight but we won in the end. we were all sore by the middle of the 2nd round but we still have to finish the game. it was the competitive spirit in all of us.

 

Barat.

side note - stephanie ong is back from singapore. i dont know how she does it but every few months or so she goes back to the philippines, apparently on a sale ticket and with consent from her boss. haha.. so the barat queen is in manila. even she admits that shes barat.

Banapple.

after all that bowling, almost everyone have to go home - marie back to her hometown up north, susi to the hospital to accompany his special someone. so the rest of us, tek, ding, steph, karen an i went to banapple tomas to have a super late dinner. a good way to end the day. i havent had bannapple cakes since i was assigned to the pittsburgh project. heck, i haven't gone out that much since ive been involved in that project.

edit: add birthday as it was tracey anne's birthday last oct 2 and it was her who treated us to bowling. so yeah, add that to the 'B' words. 

ooohh and dont forget to bryan. or to be more exact, behlat bryan... he wasnt able to come coz he's sick. hehehe. sorry. maybe next time.
