Bonding With Couz And Niece

Earlier this afternoon my cousin called me up to go out for lunch. I was hesitant at first since I still have loads of work to finish but since this rarely happens and i'm not yet in the mood to work I decided to go out with her. We had lunch at Pancake House.

My cousin ordered for a Clubhouse Sandwich with Avocado shake...


I had a Mango Crepes with four season juice.

After lunch we went strolling at Limketkai Mall. Esa, my cousins daughter enjoyed the fun rides while my cousin went to buy a mouse and a laptop jacket like mine but unfortunately no size fitted her Dell lappy.

Next stop we went shopping for a lappy bag at Robinsons. I was browsing shoulder bags which is big and durable for my laptop while my couz went looking for backpacks. However, after looking around we both ended buying a very durable backpacks worth Php 1, 759 (originally Php 2 200).

It's already dark outside but couz still eager to buy accessories for her lappy. We found ourself at Handyman were couz bought a bed table for laptop.
And finally it's dinner time! We dine at Mooon Cafe were couz ordered for Porkchop and for me Mooon Steak.

Creating Videos

Just this week my boss send me video creation information which I am going to read on and listen because its going to be my task. My boss said that I will just give it a try creating one and if I enjoyed it then I'll be making more videos. I was kind of hesitant at first since I don't have much knowledge in video effects. I have only created videos through Powerpoint slideshow or any photo sharing sites where in you just click layout/design choices and boom your video is created. However, as my boss said theres no harm in learning while I get paid so okay go... :D Here are the videos I have created so far with slight effects.

My Day Ended Awesome!

When I arrived at Mbox Internet Cafe this afternoon I got a sudden change of mood and since I cant concentrate on work with such mood so I decide to go out and cool down myself. I am on a jeepney going Limketkai Mall when I realized why not go to SM City since I just read on plurk that there will be a Cosplay Tour Prelimenary and there is surely ice cream there (the main reason why I want to go to Limketkai Mall). While riding on a taxi off to SM City I was given myself a time to breath and cool down myself. I just don't know why but there are really times like this when I just felt sudden sadness and emptiness within me.
So when I arrived at SM City CDO I felt a little better already. The mall was full of people because its the 2nd day of there 3 day sale.

I just stroll around until I arrived at the second floor. The Event Center was crowded because of the Cosplay Tour Prelimenary.

I didn't miss the chance to take a photo of my fave anime Kakashi!

After taking pictures I went to worlds of fun and played basketball shooting. I really enjoyed this activity and will do this more often from now on...

Sweaty and happy me after playing...

Later at 7 PM along with friends Jane, Kuya Acckky, Ate Sharon and Kuya John we went to our friend Irene's newly opened business Katunggan Food Park in Opol.

Goodbye Smartbro! Hello PLDT MyDSL!

Last Monday I freak out when my internet connection is very slow or should I say close to no connection at all. Yes, I can open page for a couple of minutes but then I can't upload even a word document report. Ive been experiencing this slow internet connection for almost 3 months and I have reported the problem to Smartbro with no reply/action. So since my Smartbro plug-it plan is only locked-in for 6 months and thats going to be on September, I immediately applied for a wired connection through PLDT MyDSL. I choose the Php 1,300 per month package which already include unlimited DSL, landline, Watchpad, free installation and modem.

So I applied last Tuesday. They actually told me installation will be after 5 days but it only took 2 days and I am already using PLDT MyDSL now. I really thought it will took me awhile to get internet connection since I have friends whom waited weeks and months before internet connection was installed in PLDT also.

My landline phone can't make calls yet but internet is already working with the following speed:

It is fast. I have tried watch videos on Youtube continuously. I'm crossing my fingers it will be like this everyday.

Blogging My Frustrations On Pizza Delivery Service

I actually don't like blogging this because its a negative feedback but just to calm myself I will blog my frustrations. While I am blogging now I am waiting for the pizza that I have ordered from Bianos Homemade Pizza almost 2 hours ago. :( It's so frustrating they should have inform me that my pizza will arrive 2 hours after. I ask them how many minutes will the pizza arrive right after I ordered but they did not answer me. So its not my fault if im so mad and sad about them. They should informed me for the delay but instead its me keep asking them when is it going to arrived. They texted me awhile ago that pizza is on the way but its almost 1 hour past and pizza still did not arrive, to think my house is 10 minutes from Bianos Homemade Pizza place. If I wasn't busy with my work I should have bought it myself! And to think I was supposed to choose other pizza delivery services but thinking that Bianos Homemade Pizza is just a few minutes ride so I choose them.

I remember a friend too experienced the delay of delivery and cancelled her order. So just a tip to anyone who is going to order at Bianos Homemade Pizza expect a long delay of there delivery. Don't order if you're already hungry.

****My pizza finally arrived exactly 2 hours but my appetite for pizza was already gone and the pizza is not hot anymore. Frustrating! :(

Breathe Hope Bracelets

A few weeks ago a fellow blogger Dingexx shared a video and baby Jon Angelo Viado blog in plurk about a baby boy who is suffering from Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy(HIE). In order for this 2 year old baby to breath he is hooked to a mechanical ventilator 24/7. Baby Jon Angelo Viado's parents made a Breathe Hope bracelets to help them raised funds to buy for Baby Jon Angelo's own mechanical ventilator.

Along with fellow CDObloggers we purchased Breathe Hope bracelets in bulked. We also contacted friends who also wants to buy and help. For more information on the Breathe hope bracelets please do check baby Jon Angelo Viado blog.

Here is my little Justine wearing the Newport Orig Blue bracelet that I bought which arrived last week.

My First Water Rafting Experience!

I paddled the water but I felt the pain after...

My body ache all over today after a very adventurous and fun activity yesterday. Together with cousins; Nike and Mitch and foreign friends; Craig (my cousins husband), Krystal and Kelly from Australia we went water rafting. It was actually our first rafting experienced for the 4 of us except Krystal and Craig who are already a pro.

We booked for advance 2 course which was Php 1, 500 per head at 1st Rafting Adventure. We started our rafting from Quarry to Brgy. Mambuaya passing 13 km river stretch with 13 major rapids. I was actually scared since I don't know to swim and advance 2 is next to extreme rafting (which is the more likely for experienced paddler). It was also raining so water is wild. Good thing in our boat only me doesn't know how to swim and everyone is watching over me every time we passed wild rapids. I almost fall once and I rolled over on the other side of the boat twice.

My rafting moments...

• We passed by a long wire connected to the other side of the river and our river guide yell "it's a live wire!" and all of us 4 in our boat do the "matrix action" and lie flat to avoid the wire our river guide name Allan laugh his ass of seeing all of us really believed that it is a live wire.
• Passing the second rapids I lost balance and almost fall good thing Kelly was fast yelling my name and hold me. For a moment I really thought I am going to fall on the rock... scarrrrry!
• Our river guide Allan really practice his piece. While we are approaching big rocks with grasses all over he was telling about different snakes going out in the rocks and sometimes jumps inside the raft. As our raft approaches the rocks Allan throw a yellow stripe rope at us and all for of us was yelling and the guys almost jump out of the raft... hahahaha
• Harvey one of our raft-mates was instructed to sit infront of the boat and hold still and as we are about to approach the wild rapids he already fall inside the boat just before wild waves starting to rock our boat. All of us almost lost our balance laughing at him as we reached the wild rapids. hahahaha...
• Kelly's paddle! We were instructed by our river guide to stand on the boat while approaching the rapids and that no one is going to sit down. Kelly having hard time balancing drop her paddle on the water and rolled over inside the boat and we paddled forward trying to get her paddle and fighting the wild waves. We were like somebody fall from our boat.

After water rafting we went to SM City CDO to watch movie. Since Salt already started playing we decided to wait for the next show which is an hour after. So we first had dinner and enjoyed the basketball shooting at the Worlds of fun.
