A lot of people in the office said that I lost weight. Well, they’re right, I did lose some pounds. I could tell by how loose my pants are these days when I wear them. Hehehe… But contrary to what they think, I did not take any diet pills. I just added some activities in my routine like swimming and badminton. But I guess if I could afford to buy diet pills and take them along with the new activities that I have set for myself, losing weight would be a lot easier and faster. But for now, since I can’t afford them, I will have to content myself with the fun that goes along with swimming and badminton to lose weight.
Full House. I am not sure if you remember this Korean TV series but I sure love it. It is a romantic love story about an ordinary girl (Jessie Han) who lost everything she had including the house that her parents left her and the Korean Superstar (Justin Lee) who bought the house. I like it because it tackle things that we normally experience in our daily life (except the meeting and living with a rich and famous stranger part I guess) and put the lesson in a funny and yet truthful way. I have seen a lot of romantic movies and tv series in my life (I ain’t that old, but believe me when I say a lot, it means a lot) and this is one of the few that I will recommend that you watch.
An employee died due to a motorcycle accident last Saturday. They said he was in comatose for 2 days before his body finally gave up. It was a sad and tragic accident and I feel sorry for him and his family. I could just imagine how his wife, whom he left with a child, grieve for his passing. The thought of people grieving for me made me realize that I am not ready to leave this world yet. Leaving my family behind is something that I probably can never bear even in the after life. If it so happens that I will be leaving this world before my loved ones and spirits with unfinished business turn into ghosts to roam around the earth until their business is done, then I will be one of those ghosts until I could see that everything is well for my loved ones especially my parents. I just hope that the Lord given me more time in this world for me to spend it with my parents and friends and for me to accomplish my goals. For really, I am not ready to leave not yet…
I know that one has to sacrifice a lot to achieve their dreams. But I never thought that one really has to go through blood and sweat to achieve them. Let’s take for instance the law students. I thought their suffering starts when they were studying the law it turns out it starts way before they can even enroll for the course. Sheesh… Good thing they have what they call LSAT prep to help them prepare for the Law School Admission Test. I wonder what would it be like? You know getting into Law School with out going through LSAT prep.
Finally! We now have XBox 360 on the floor. I am not sure thought if it was the client who gave us the game console or was it the company. But who cares? One thing is for sure though, is there are happy campers on the floor like me who’ve always wanted to get our hands on those MS games. Nyahahaha… I’m not an expert gamer though but it will definitely be a good outlet to unleash my anger after a sup call. Hahaha…
I’ve always loved the commercial of Close Up ever since I was young. They always come up witht the best jingle and cutest models. Hehehe… Here’s their ad for 2009. The jingle is “COme Closer” by Iklan an indonesian band and the male model is, well I don’t know who is the male model. Maybe you can enlighten me…
Have you been to the new washrooms in Ayala Cebu? I really like their new faucets for they have sensors on them where the water would flow when it senses your hands are under them or shots of once your hands are out of range. I hoped to have those kind of faucets in our company washroom for first, they will help save water and you wouldn’t have to worry about stuck up dials. Hehehe… I was actually hoping that they would change the faucets when they fixed our washroom but they didn’t. Anyway, the problem was not with the faucets so why change them right?
Today, the Filipino nation bids farewell to Former President Cory Aquino who died last August 1, 2009. She may not be the greatest President that this nation had but I’d say that she is the most sincere that I have ever known. If you would measure the greatness of a president by numbers like GDPs she may fall short in that regard. However, if we would measure her in terms of influence, which most leaders believe is the true measure of leadership, people would agree when I say that she had exceeded all expectations. President Cory Aquino’s term has ended in 1992 but she never failed to come forward everytime that the nation needs someone to voice out their concerns especially when the democracy of the nation is threatened. Her sincerity made her closer to the Filipino people and made her one of the most influential personality in the country. The out pouring of the the Filipino people to accompany her to her resting place is a clear indication of how influential she is and how she is loved. Her departure brought tears and sadness to most Filipinos but I hope that along with that sadness, her departure would bring hope to us and continue to remember that change will always come from us. If we want something we should make the first step and continue to fight for what we believe in.
My dad’s turning 64 this year and I’d love to get him one of those HDTV. Damn! I know he would love to see a plasma tv in our living room as a present for his birthday but getting him one would definitely hurt my pocket. Gosh, like a plasma tv can cost as much as 100K in the Philippines. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Too bad, I ain’t as rich as some folks are. But I guess that’s what you get for not having your own business. I really should start investing or else, I would end up depending on a pension that might not even be enough for my expenses when I retire. Hay…
Finally! We now have
