My Work Buddy!

March this year, I've owned my very first laptop, from my 2 months salary which I advanced from my boss. It was a Compaq Presario CQ40-416, it has a 14.1-inch diagonal widescreen display with HDMI, card reader, and USB ports. Which has an AMD Turion X2 processor, standard memory of 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM PC-5300, wireless capabilities, and integrated webcam and microphone.

This has been my work buddy until 2 weeks after I unexpectedly received an eMachines by Acer (D725) issued by my second boss. However, I used the eMachines solely for work because my boss installed a software called Flexiserver that will track my laptop activities. So for safety reasons, I don't use it for personal browsing. :P

The Baranggay Elections 2010

I hope you'll spare me because ill be blogging some past happenings starting from now. I've been busy and got no time to blog much. Though I have posted some, but theres a lot more I haven't shared.

This medicines was given to my mom during a free medical check-ups a week before the Baranggay Elections 2010. Definitely during election season running officials for the government are very generous. A lot of cash giveaways, free events, feeding programs as well as free medical check-ups happens. Here in our town around Php400 was given to every legitimate voter from the currently winning Baranggay Official while the losing party just gave Php100 per voter. Unfortunately, such freebies and giveaways has taken a big influence to voters in casting their votes.

For me its actually okay to receive what has given to you but it should not be the basis of whom you will vote. It wouldn't have any problem if such official has showed progress in our town but sadly they didn't.

• Garbage everywhere
• Many roads needed repair
• Fiesta activities are lousy
• No programs for the youth during summer.

I just hope that people will think twice next time, not merely sharing the changes that they want through their mouth but use their heart, mind and hands to get the change that they want.

Studio 3802 Cool Penoy Shirt Design

A big thanks to Shoppingera for tagging me in Facebook about Ramblings of a Princess Studio 3802 T-Shirt Giveaway. In connection to that, I discovered this cool t-shirts available in Studio 3802 which I would love to have. As I was browsing to the albums I saw this Penoy designed shirt.

I instantly fell in love with the shirt when I saw it. Before I use to go home late at night because of work and along with my workmates we will buy and eat Balut and Penoy. And since I don't like to eat the "sisiw" which is found inside the Balut I always ended eating Penoy while the rest enjoyed Balut. And also I influenced my cousin into eating Penoy. She actually doesn't like eating it because she tought it also has a "sisiw" inside but when I told her only Balut has it she now likes it too.

Anyways, this uniquely designed shirt is something I will look forward to having since I love to collect shirts with something eye-catchy print in it. ;)

Studio3802 is having an extended Inventory Sale so check it out!

Orion's Birthday Surprise!

Last Friday was the birthday of my freelance job team mate - Orion. It has been a month-long plan that boss is going to give Orion a gift with the help of the group. It took many gift suggestions before our boss agreed on giving him a surprise birthday instead. However, it was not a typical surprise birthday since Orion is from Pagadian and most of us or should I say the rest of the team are based here in Cagayan de Oro. So as per suggested by no other than myself ;) Orion traveled from Pagadian to Cagayan de Oro with free transportation provided. Our boss chatted him on the day of his birthday that he needs to travel Cagayan de Oro the next day for an emergency meeting with the rest of the team.

So Saturday Orion was pick-up at the terminal, treated to lunch, strolled Limketkai Mall, and enjoyed the teams company playing at the Worlds of Fun. Later in the afternoon they head on to Big Flat Bread for the supposed to be “Meeting”. A surprise Orion was shocked when he taught that BFB crew is just going to sing a Christmas carols at their table but instead they sung a happy birthday song for him. Sadly, I missed that part there! I was a late comer on that day... :P

So when I arrived I just grab a bite of BFB’s Godfather Pizza, finished two sliced of Red Ribbon Chocolate Cake, and took a sip on the Juice Coolers and then we headed to Willsbar Music & Video. The rest of the night was spent with music and a bottle of beer…
