Got a new phone and im trying to figure out how to browse the web. Installing and using opera mini seems to work well. Just need to work on the settings for the browser to look normal. Ive yet to check if uploading of photos would work. Thank God for opera mini. Still wishing for google chrome to come up with a version for nokia e63.

Margaret Moth
I chanced upon FEARLESS: The Margaret Moth Story on CNN while I was about to sleep. Her last words on the show really hit me.
“I mean, to me it is no different if I die in six weeks or in twenty years. I don’t think it matters how long you live as long as you can say that I have got everything out of life.”
-Margaret Moth, CNN Camerawoman.
I hope everyone can watch this.
Live life like Margaret Moth.

i am in need of eureka moments.
i’ve been tasked to make marketing materials for the latest product La Opisina has to offer.
(website, brochutes, write-ups and all that crap a company does to sell)
unfortunately, i left my thinking cap back inside my highschool locker. goodluck to that.
i do blogs but i don’t write press releases or anything close to that.
it really sucks to be me this time.

youtube overdose.
i watched some of this year’s vma highlights and reviews.
how can you miss out on the kanye drama?
i’ve probably seen 70% of the vlogs out there on youtube regarding the whole kanye-taylor shiz.
(probably spent the last 3 hours watching videos about it)
some if not most of the african-american community aren’t too happy about what kanye west did.
this reminds me of the whole 2PM-Jay Park myspace issue that also got different kinds of uproar from koreans and korean-americans.
i’m just glad to find out that there are people who can rationalize things and that there are accessible avenues to air out opinions.

where’s my phone update
my phone has not been located for about 5 hours now.
i just gave it a ring and its still ringing.

where’s my phone?
i woke up broke today.
i decided not to work and then…
met up with domz at e-diner for lunch so he can finally give me my Ninoy back…
went back home to freshen up and watch tv…
cried over a korean drama dubbed in Filipino…
and realized that i’d misplaced my other mobile phone.
i tried to give it a couple of rings so i can easily locate it but i couldn’t hear the actual phone ringing inside the house.
damn.
i think i just lost my phone.
it’s still ringing though which means…i either dropped it inside the jeep i took going home from e-diner and no one has found it yet or i could have accidentally thrown it in a trash bin or i ran out of possibilities…
i went back to e-diner to see if i left it there but nada.
if only i had the power to locate missing cellphones.
i’m gonna have to go to my network’s shop to have it blocked.
what a hassle.
at least i have another phone.
i think that’s why Filipinos have 2 mobile phones. it won’t hurt if one gets lost.

event’s done.
attendance turn out wasn’t that amazing. fall out of confirmed attendees was about 60%.
but it’s still ok. most of the attendees were of quality. they were interested and i think it’s safe to say that i can look forward to doing business with them, if not this year, definitely early next year.
el presidente was making conversations with me during the event. that’s a good sign.
i think the part that got me amazed was the huge chemistry among the partners involved in this event, PLDT, IBM, Unionbank and of course…La Opisina.
i’m happy =)
crossing my fingers for more events to come.

About the new coffee shop…
The owner spoke with us a little earlier asking us how we feel about the place.
So nice of him to assure us that he’s not going to compromise regular customers’ experience (i shared to him what happened with cafe miro).
and because he was uber nice, i invited him to tomorrow’s event.
that wasn’t really a consolation for him…teeheee.
i don’t have pictures of the new coffee shop yet.
i’ll post some once i get to stay here during the day.
we did tell him that the lights are bit dim during the night.
not quite conducive to reading or studying.
he spoke about USB lights…uhmm..not sure about that but hey, at least he’s planning to do something about it.
i’m just praying to God that this place is for good. I want this to be my Central Perk =)

the japanese treat
Oh Timber City.
I;’m so glad it’s over.
After 2 flight cancellations back to Cebu (i missed my 2nd flight..sucks to see your plane just fly away like that) and sleepless nights (read: 4 hours of sleep per night and working for 36 hours straight), I just had to go all out for japanese food right after landing in cebu..well not really, it took a day =)
We usually pick Rai Rai or Nonki-SM for cheap bentos but this time we went a little bit expensive. We picked Nonki-AS Fortuna branch, the Nonki branch which caters to Japanese expats.
After settling down, we each got a serving of a japanese macaroni for free. I’m not a huge fan of macaroni but this one was soooo good. We ordered another bowl for 20 pesos.
Next was the Salted Japanese Green Beans. They’re huge! You can only eat the beans. I had fun eating these.
We actually had a hard time picking out food to order. The bentos are quite expensive. This was an easy pick, Japanese fried chicken. I’m not sure if it’s just me but it had an oriental taste to it. Still good.
How can you miss out on california maki? One for me, Nina and Tiny =)
And gyoza =)
I’m not exactly sure what’s in the sushi set we ordered. I’m sure there was sushi and the white/black roll was probably squid or octopus.
Tiny was not a fan.
I don’t remember what this was called, I think it’s Sizzling Teriyaki. I’m sure I just made that up. Teriyaki pork with bean sprouts served on a sizzling plate. Yum.
At this point, we didn’t have enough money to buy another round of coke light…so Nina ordered Otsa -japanese tea. Great for a full tummy.
Light decor that I wanted to bring home.
Wall decor that I wanted to bring home.
If only my bag was big enough to hide these.
Broke but full. Still happy. =)
If your mouth is watering at this point, contact Nonki SM @ 032-2327712 for Nonki AS Fortuna’s number. hehehe.
OISHII!!!!

This reminds me of a time when I sent an email to an officemate saying “IT – Eat that!” after she discovered a friendster proxy.
The IT Department then was so pissed, they sent my officemate a memo.
I didn’t get one ’cause I was resigning. :D
I’ve yet to check what this proxy can do.
So far, it can’t work on any attachments.
Probably because I’m also using google chrome (www.google.com/chrome).
Uhmm…ya..links dont work here either.
I’m gonna switch back to Opera and see if my wordpress is normal.

Team GSIS vs Team IBM
La Opisina is a partner of IBM and uses DB2 as its software’s database.
Word just got out that IBM is filing a libel suit against GSIS.
GSIS and Questronix blamed IBM DB2 for the delayed processing of an estimated 20,000 members.
Is DB2 not sturdy enough for a large data like that of GSIS or did GSIS users whack the system?
Bring onTeam GSIS vs Team IBM fight!!!
IBM will file a P200-million libel suit against GSIS
GMANews.TV – Thursday, June 4
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine unit of computer giant IBM will file a P200 million libel suit against the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) after it reaped “unwarranted public attacks” from the state-run pension fund. IBM’s local unit has begun legal actions to “vigorously defend” its reputation, the company said in a statement. Last month, the state-run pension fund for public employees blamed IBM for a software application that has delayed transactions of 20,000 of its estimated members. The software application is reportedly part of GSIS’ Integrated Loans, Membership, Acquired Assets and Accounts Management System (Ilmaams). “We cannot stand by and allow our company’s reputation to be tarnished by blatantly inaccurate and misleading accusations,” IBM said in a statement. “This is an action that we do not take lightly. IBM has been in operations in the Philippines for more than 70 years, and has over 7,000 employees. During this time, we have built our business by upholding the highest level of corporate ethics and integrity. Anything less would betray the trust that clients, citizens and governments place in us every day.” “Our preference is to work constructively with our clients and our business partners to address any and all issues they may have, in a spirit of mutual cooperation and partnership. Unfortunately, the deliberately libelous actions by the GSIS leave IBM with no other course of action,” IBM added. For its part, GSIS believed the upgrade only worsened the problem as the database began mishandling data, which prevented its simultaneous use. Earlier, Consuelo Manansala, GSIS executive vice president for operations, said the crashes could not come at a worst time for 1.5 million GSIS members and pensioners because May and June are peak months for loans and benefits since these are enrollment and school opening seasons. GSIS chief legal counsel Estrella Elamparo also said the pension fund is mulling to file charges against IT contractor Questronix Corp. and IBM. Questronix director for business solutions Bert L. Bartolome allegedly wrote in a May 15 letter to the GSIS that IBM database software called IBM DB2 is the root cause of the crash based on the findings of the computer giant’s laboratories in Canada. Citing the report, GSIS said the overflow caused DB2 to “lose certain information in the leading byte and data may end up in the wrong table, resulting in subsequent page corruptions.” – Ruby Anne M. Rubio, GMANews.TV

russian flu.
This is so bad.
I’ve decided to take a break from work tomorrow.
I’ve been under the weather lately.
A sore throat, fever and colds for 4 straight days.
My eyes are swelling too.
I hope this isn’t what they call H1N1.
It must be a russian flu.
Because I’m still 23 I probably have Russian flu.
From wikipedia:
Russian flu
The more recent Russian flu was a 1977–1978 flu epidemic caused by strain Influenza A/USSR/90/77 (H1N1). It infected mostly children and young adults under 23 because a similar strain was prevalent in 1947–57, causing most adults to have substantial immunity. Some have called it a flu pandemic but because it only affected the young it is not considered a true pandemic. The virus was included in the 1978–1979 influenza vaccine.[10][11][12][13]

I’m currently watching HBO’s documentary on Thrilla in Manila.
I feel so bad for Joe Frazier.
He seems like a really good guy.
I hope he can leave all the bitterness behind him now.
As for Ali, I now know why Ali can hardly speak today.
He was a dirty player afterall, holding the back of the neck of his opponents and pulling them in.
And what’s worse, his mouth runs like the Mayweathers.
You may have the skill, the talent, the stamina, the charisma, the heart, the gift and whatever it is to make yourself the greatest but if you can’t play by the rules you can never be called “a true champion”.
A sport isn’t a sport without rules.
But I must say, Ali was one hell of a showman.
He was definitely great for the boxing entertainment, unfortunately, all that brouhaha has now become boxing’s greatest stigma.
(What’s up with me and boxing these days??!!)

Dream Come True: A Visit to the Ciudad Real de Acuzar Heritage complex
This made my Bataan trip complete.
Simply breathtaking.
I could not believe that the stars aligned for me that day.
For those who aren’t aware about Ciudad de Acuzar, here’s the lo-down: Select famous heritage houses across Luzon were torn down and reconstructed/restored in this villa. They even got the original (read: 1867) UP Fine Arts building-the Escuela De Bellas Artes which stood on Hidalgo St., Quiapo. Seeing the building, touching the walls, climbing the original staircase(which was scary) and just being inside the building for 5 minutes almost made me cry.
If I was a Fine Arts major I would have really cried.God, it was such a moment.
Super duper extra mega sobrang thank you to everyone who made it possible for me to get there. My cousins Richard (who finally got the name of the place;there was no mention of the name or exact location of the place when I first saw it on Tablescapes), Dunlop (for driving us there), JR (for walking with me around the villa), Taba (dapat ka nang tumakbo bilang Governor ng Bataan!Ang daming mong kakilala doon!Ayos ang mga chikang nahagilap!) Tito Danny (for getting Larry de Mesa to write a letter to Ruben the Caretaker), Larry de Mesa (who wrote the letter) and Mr. Acuzar (not sure if his name is Ben), the owner of the place (haba ng hair ko, he chatted with us for a while) for allowing us to get inside and take pictures of the gorgeous villa.
I remember him joking about the place as a “kalokohan”. Wow ha, his “kalokohan” is so expensive! Then he got serious by saying that the youth these days call the malls their “heritage”, we’ve forgotten about the Filipino heritage and that’s the reason why he thought of building this villa. *cough etchos cough* just kidding. ^_^
So do make sure to visit this place. It will become open to the public by 2011.
Swerte ko noh? And with that, I will start revisiting museums this 2009.

I’m posting this because I don’t want to go through the same shit again.
Yes. shit is the word.
So just in case this post comes in handy, here are steps on how one should process payment in Cebu Doctor’s Hospital (and its affiliate hospitals, North and South General Hospital):
First things first.
Once admitted, immediately ask your HR Department to process your Philhealth and your Health Insurance documents required by the hospital:
1. Philhealth Form 3 and the what-nots.
2. a letter from the employer certifying that you are an employee of the company and have been contributing to Philhealth
3. and health insurance documents (contact your health insurance company, they know what’s needed to be done)
Once acquired, submit it to the Nurses’ Station (except for the health insurance document, I think it goes straight to the hospital’s accounting office c/o health insurance company). The attending physician will need to sign it and will only release it if there is a discharge order.
So now comes the discharge order from the Physician.
Make sure that the Physician or Nurses’ Station has communicated the order to the hospital’s accounting office.
Cut-off in Cebu Doctors’ is 12PM.
If you stay beyond 12 or no order has been given to the accounting office, that’s another day charged to your account.
Time to process payment.
1. Get clearance forms from the Nurses’ Station needed by the Hospital’s Philhealth Processing office.
2. Make sure that information in the forms have been filled out by the patient. ie Address, signature, company
3. Submit these forms to the Philhealth Processing office. And wait while they prepare a document needed for the Billing section.
4. Once done in the Philhealth section, get your priority number for the Billing Section.
(They have this annoying security guard who checks on everyone’s priority numbers even if its clearly your number flashing on the Priority Number board.The guy has so much doubt.)
5. Submit the Philhealth document, and make sure that your health insurance document is with the accounting office already.
They’ll give you your statement of account with net amount to pay (less the amount covered by Philhealth and health insurance).
6. Get your Cashier priority number.
7. Make the payment when your priority number flashes.
8. The cashier will give you a slip to submit to the Nurses’ Station so you can claim clearance slips to submit to the Security Guard when you leave. (No, not the security guard at the accounting office).
Other things to remember.
1. They don’t accept personal checks.
2. You can pay credit card or cash or both.
When you review the whole procedure, it kinda sounds easy and straight.
But the thing is…they don’t give out guidelines on how to process things.
They make you figure things out.
I heard Chong Hua Hospital has a better payment procedure.
They just make you get cash out of your wallets. End of story.
With the current Cebu Doctors’ procedure, I highly doubt they’ll get accredited for anything ISO.
Mean much? No. Just honest like an auditor.

karma is a bitch.
After raging out here, karma stroke fast.
The hosipital was my home for the last 4 days.
My mother’s cholesterol level was high and had to be admitted.
(Well at least I saw three cute nurses and spotted my crush nurse.)
She’s at home now taking a rest ’til the end of the week.
And now I’m back to work and broke after paying hospital bills.
(Cebu Doctor’s payment procedure is shitty. I no longer care what kind of karma comes around after calling them shit.)
At least I’m not Cristalle Henares at this very moment.

Eloise.
At dinner (Banana Leaf), Eloise asked me to lead the prayer which I don’t really do.
But since she’s the birthday girl, I did it and ended up with something like a wedding toast speech.
We were chuckling during the prayer while Eloise was intently listening to it.
I felt so bad that I couldn’t come up with something creative.
(Then again, I’ve never heard of a “creative prayer” before.)
I thanked God for sharing Eloise to us and to the world.
Love you lots. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Oh Manny! Part 2
While looking for a good Manny Pacquiao picture for yesterday’s post, I chanced upon a “Manny scandal”.
It was pictures of Manny hooking up with some girl at some bar last year.
They were getting cuddly in most pictures but one picture really stood out.
It’s the most hilarious Manny picture I’ve ever seen.
Look at him work that pout!
WERK IT BOY!
CHANNEL THE CAMWHORE IN YOU!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Manny looked prettier than the girl!
Don’t try pouting if you’ll look uglier!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
ROTF =))
This picture just makes me laugh. I’m gonna try not to look at his face anymore.
Wow. crisp collar. Oh dear, my tummy…AHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh Manny!
These last 4 days I’ve neglected every single blog and gossip site I’ve been religiously visiting for anything Manny Pacquiao.
pep, perezhilton, chuvaness EVEN my own blog were all replaced by ringtv, yahoosports and every single article i can find on google that has manny pacquiao and ricky hatton in it.
I got so obsessed with finding and watching every single pre and post-fight interviews on youtube that it’s no longer funny.
The really worst part is, I got myself singing to “Pilipino, Pilipino. Pilipino ang lahi ko!”
Not that I despise my race. Don’t get me wrong I love my good ol’ country.
But it’s a friggin’ Manny Pacquiao song!
While Mexico is suffering from swine flu, I am having a Manny fever.
My admiration for the guy is now tremendous than ever that I find myself praying to God to “bless” me with The Manny Pacquiao Work Attitude and Spirit (read: PRAY, WORK & ME aren’t usually used in the same sentence).
There’s so many things I wanna write about Manny Pacquiao LIKE:
1. how he deserves his pound for pound position.
2. how Im so proud and inspired with Team Pacquiao
3. how Im so excited to see him fight Mayweather and all other great boxers, probably younger ones this time.
4. how I wanna see him fight Juan Manuel Marquez one last time to set the record straight.
5. how I wish for a politician to pass a Manny Pacquiao Legal Holiday.
6. how I want to vote for that politician who can make a Manny Pacquiao Legal Holiday pass the congress and get the President’s approval.
7. how students will suffer from singing Manny Pacquiao songs to celebrate that Legal Holiday.
8. how Manny Pacquiao will be accepted and celebrated when he starts to show a decline.
9. and how Manny Pacquiao can pass on the flame of a true fighter’s heart to his successor.
It will probably be 3 more fights ’til he retires as he prepares for Philippine politics.
I won’t be voting for him.
Not because I think he’s no good.
But simply because I don’t want him to tarnish an image that has become so pandemic, he is undeniably the only good thing about the Philippines in everyone’s eyes today.
*this blog is not connected with Nike and its affiliates. It’s the only good photo I can find of Manny Pacquiao. PEACE!

i wanna set the world on fire
“Set the world on fire” by Britt Nicole is one of the songs I hum to every now and then.
And I just found out today that it’s actually a Christian song.
I thought “You” refers to some cheeky guy the singer’s attracted to.
I never figured out that “Lord” was part of the lyrics.
(It’s either I’m super deaf or Britt Nicole’s mumbling words)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
I wanna set the world on fire
Until it`s burning bright for You
It`s everything that I desire
Can I be the one You use?
I, I am small but
You, You are big enough
I, I am weak but
You, You are strong enough to
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with You
There`s nothing I can not do
Nothing I cannot do
I wanna feed the hungry children
And reach across the farthest land
And tell the broken there is healing
And mercy in the Father`s hands
My hands my feet
My everything
My life, my love
Lord, use me
I wanna set the world on fire
I wanna set the world on fire, yeah
I`m gonna set the world on fire
Set the world on fire
++++++++++++++++++++++++
If and when, out of the blue, I just wake up and decide to take a vow to commit myself to God and leave today’s ways, this is the song that I want to be played as I walk to the doors of the convent -with matching ray of light and fading of imagery!

She runs straight to the kitchen, chowing down on her plate clean.
Drives us crazy with the ponds of pee she leaves.
And amuses us with how, at the count of 5, journeys to dreamland amidst the noise surrounding her.
In just 3 days, she would have been 5 months old.
She didn’t make it last night.

a memo from La Opisina
From La Opisina today:
” To All North office employees,Please be reminded NOT to standby in the area, going to fire exit at the back of DEV 1, during your breaktime and smoking hours.
KGK personnel found the place very dirty with cigarette butts scattered around.For your strict compliance.Thank you. “
Because I’m honest, I called up HR immediately and admitted that I spend my breaktime smoking at the fire exit area.
(It was I who the KGK personnel saw smoke. KGK owns the building that La Opisina occupies.)
BUT. I don’t flick ashes and throw my cigarette butts on the fire exit’s floor.
In fact, I’ve provided the smokers (me and Manong Jerry) a covered smoke-free ashtray and have been using it religiously since January.
The place has been clean ever since. No cigarette butts on the floor.
That KGK personnel EXAGGERATED.
And because of her, I need to look for a new spot.
Dammit.
*not La Opisina’s smoking area.

STOP ME!
I am in need of an intervention!!
This is the 5th time I’m watching Coffee Prince!
I’m not even scanning through it.
I’m watching every single scene in the series.
Somebody stop me.
Ok maybe not.
When Gong Yoo comes out of military service, I’ll stop.
I promise. I’m not sure. I’ll try to stick to my promise.
Uggh. This is so hard.
The series is soooo good.
I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of it.
Oh why must he be so hot?

Last night, Domz met up with his online friend Yel from Manila for the first time.
Both subscribe to and are active on www.missosology.com.
It’s about pageants and the what nots.
From Miss Universe down to Miss Purok 2.
i kid. i kid. =P
I’ve been visiting the site from time to time but have not joined as a member.
Maybe when I get the itch to reply, I’ll sign up…but just maybe.
So back to Yel from Manila…
We took him to Handuraw Lahug for dinner.
And made him taste a Cebuana. A Pizza Cebuana that is.
(Pizza Cebuana Forever!!!Domz and I can really pass off as Handuraw endorsers!)
He’s now back in Manila and he gave me and the pizza a shoutout on www.missosology.com just today.
So sweet.
I’m glad he enjoyed the pizza ’cause I sure am enjoying my 2 minutes of international exposure!
Thank you very much!

to livejournal or to wordpress?
that is the question.
i finally found my loooong lost blog.
(i was thinking it was on blogspot the entire time, no wonder i can’t get in)
so now, im at a crossroad.
well not really a crossroad.
just facing two paths.
one says livejournal, the other wordpress.
and i can only choose one.
(im too lazy to maintain 2 blogs.)
………………………..
mmm…think think think.
livejournal looks really cool (+ most bloggers prefer LJ too)
but…
i think i’ll stick with wordpress.
because…
..i like my wordpress theme better :)

Another attempt on blogging.
I had one a few months back on blogspot.
I didn’t really pay that much attention to it.
Just trying to see what it was like to blog.
And here I am, creating a new one.
The goal back then was to have a depository of all my work-driven angst -made public.
Now, it’s basically out of frustration (plus a depository of all my work-driven angst).
See, logging in my Multiply is a daily routine at La Opisina. It’s the only way I get to update my friends if I’m still breathing and vice versa. Two months back, La Opisina decided to block social networking sites Friendster and Multiply.
There goes my online lifestyle.
Facebook on the other hand, being the most popular SNS, wasn’t blocked.
Apparently, La Opisina’s El Director didn’t have it blocked because he has one.
For a moment my head dropped.
So that’s where the frustration comes from.
(My boss is almost 50 for crying out loud. Why would he need a Facebook??)
BTW, there’s something I have to be clear about this blog.
This does not aim to be some major blogsite that you’ll add to your favorites.
It’s just where I can post my pictures (non-creative), and rantings about life as we know it -as I seem to know it.
SO HERE WE GO!
