Nice Meeting You Again, Glacyl

November 17, 2017

Tokyo Ice Café, Mall of Asia

If I can remember correctly, this was our first time to hangout together because during our college days, we don't. We see each other at school classrooms but that's it. 10 years after college, this happened.

It all started from our Facebook messenger group were all Accounting Tech Major batchmates were gathered, just recently. Some responded, some leaved the group (suplado y suplada na, mayayaman na kc eh).

We talked about work and a lot of things. Until Glacyl asked me if I know something that she's interested to learn. Yeah, right, some things can't be learned at school. Most of them can be learned at work. Lucky you if your officemate are willing to teach you what they know because some, don't.

And because of this, I get to bond with her for the first time and hopefully, to some others too because it's always nice to reunite with your former classmates. And hopefully, not the last. Maybe next time, bring your husband too. I definitely won't forget this meeting because I got shocked with the keyboard. Hahaha.. Did you notice the keyboard? LOL!

By the way, thanks for the treat, Glace, nakakahiya tuloy.

About the Food
Glacyl ordered Chicken Karaage Ala Carte for PHP250.00 with Coffee Halo-halo for PHP190.00 and I ordered Chiken Teriyake Ala Carte for PHP240.00 with Mango Halo-halo for PHP195.00 because I love chicken and mango plus rice (PHP20.00). Both chicken are too oily that's why Glacyl were not able to finish her food. But because of the very strong flavor of Teriyaki sauce that compliments the chicken a lot, I liked it. There's something in Halo-halo that I don't like, whatever it is, the more kinakain mo sya. nawawala na ung inayawan mo kya masarap na din. It's more of an ice cream with mango than a halo-halo. All in all, it's good.

Google AdSense Account Disabled

November 15, 2017

Two years ago, I was so happy receiving my first ever payout from Google AdSense. It was surreal. Then 3 days ago, I received an email from them that they disabled my account for invalid activity which I don't have nothing to do with it. It's just so sad. 

I even tried to recover it by appealing to them but you need to be specific of the activities that you think is not valid, but I can't provide them so my appealed has been denied. Beym! Saklap beh!

Edbert-Mariliz's Wedding and Cathing-Up Zamboanga Trip

October 18-20, 2017

Dear diary,

LOL!

Day 1, Wednesday, October 18 (Wedding Day)

4AM - Departure @ NAIA Terminal 3
MNL-ZAM via Cebu Pacific Air (flight 5:35AM to 7:15AM). Fine weather in Manila but bad weather hit in Zamboanga for several days now. Actually some of the areas were flooded. 2 were reported dead. Mayor Beng Climaco, declared State of Calamity because of this.

Anyways, why I started this blog with negative news? Because I just want tell that going to Zamboanga was a hell of a ride. Scary turbulence. Ung tipong pigil hinigan bai lalo na sa biglaang bagsak sa ere ng eroplano.

7AM - Arrival @ Zamboanga International Airport
Paglapag ng eroplano, umuulan pa, pero tamang-tama paglabas ko ng airport, wala ng ulan. Oh, by the way, naka white shoes ako. Suggestion kc un ni Sheng (my friend and bridesmaid). Wala akong ibang dalang shoes, un lang tlga.

Ung place kung saan nakatira sister ko, maputik kaya mukha akong tanga naka white shoes sa putikan kc hindi pa sementado pero wala akong choice kundi, work it, yeah. LOL! Bibisia sana kami ni Nanay sa eldest sister ko sa Tetuan ng biglang bumuhos ang malakas na ulan kaya tinamad na akong umalis. Total tanghali pa ang wedding kya tulog muna kc wala tlga akong tulog, takot kasing maiwan ng eroplano kc baka matulad dati kc pag makatulog ako, hindi ako magising on time. Plus the fact na hindi pa ako nakapag empake kya un na din ang ginamit kong oras.

1PM - St. Joseph Church
Wala pang tao sa church (except sa mga nag-aayos of course) kya may time pa akong mag picture-picture. Hanggang sa dumating na ung mga entourage. Yay! 4 familiar faces. Gusto kong magtago. LOL! Pagkatapos na pagkatapos ng wedding, ung tipong magbubukas na ang pinto para sa pictorial sa labas ng simbahan biglang bumuhos ang malakas na ulan. Pero ang galing lang ng panahon kc pagkatapos na pagkatapos ng pictorial, humina din ang ulan. Tapos noong nakaalis na ang entourage, ambon nalang kaya pwede ng maglakad papuntang pueblo para sumakay ng jeep. Commute lang kc lolo mo, nag-iisa lang eh.

5PM - Venue: Palacio del Sur
Akala ko nasa loob na sila un pala nasa labas palang pala kc may pictorial pa. After pictorial, pumasok na sa loob ng venue para sa program at makakain na din. Kaso mga kakilala ko part ng entourage kaya separate table nila sa table ko. Ang masama nose bleed ung mga nasa table naupuan ko. What do I expect? (Chavacano and Bicolano ang kinasal) Late na dumating ung iba naming classmates kc humabol lang sila from work. Pinalipat ako nina Jereme at Sheng ng table pero dahil nahiya na akong lumipat ng upuan kya pinanindigan ko na kung saan ako nakaupo. Pero pagkatapos kong kumain, saka na ako lumipat.

10PM - OKS (Tebi And Sean Recreational Center)

Drinks. Laughs. Nachos. Ayoko na idetalye basta, nabusog ako sa nachos. Ginawa kong lunch eh. Gutom na kasi. LOL. End of the day!

Day 2, Thursday, October 19 (Family Day)

8AM - Visit My Sister
Visited my sister in Tetuan. I'm 2 days late from her birthday. Sorry na.

10AM - Renewed my Smart Plan

Renewed my Smart Plan, free phone: Samsung J2 prime. Ang tagal namin dito ah.

12NN - Lunch @ Greenwich
Lunch at Greenwich Southway. Ung tipong mali-mali ung order na binibigay sa amin kaya natagalan kami natapos. Nakakainis man pero kailangan chill padin. After kumain deretso na agad sa terminal ng Jeep to Divisoria (my cousin's place) then uwi.

6PM - Dinner @ Hukad
Nagkita kami ni Sheng sa KCC para mag dinner. First time kong makapasok sa mall na to kaya namangha ako sa malaking monitor ng CCTV sa entrance. Nakita ko kc sarili ko na mukhang siraulo. Nagpa mani-pedi si Sheng kaya habang nag-aantay sa kanya, nilinis ko muna ang puti kong sapatos na puno ng putik. Pagtingin ko sa sahig, sobrang dumi na kala mo may putikang hayop nakapasok. Hahaha.. Sobrang nakakatawa at nakakahiya. Muntikan na akong matunaw. Ayaw pa akong paalisin ni Sheng. Nubeyen!

Nag-dinner kami sa Hukad (Filipino Restaurant originated from Cebu. Hukad is a Visayan word means "Sandok" sa Tagalog) na may pa-unli rice. Masarap naman sana ung food kaso ang hirap tawagin ang mga waiter para sa rice. Konti lang kc sila. Mangangawit nalang kamay mo sa kakaway, walang papansin syo. Gugustuhin mo nalang sumigaw ng Darna para mapansin ka nila at mapalingon sila sayo (exxage).

9PM - Catching-Up with the Newlyweds @ Tebi's

First plan was to a bar (can't remember the name), then Tebi's, end up at OKS. Actually AKS daw, according to Jereme (violently commented on my IG) pero dahil hindi ako naniniwala, humanap pa ako ng proof, pero habang wala pang proof, OKS muna ako. hahaha.

Pero ang highlight talaga dito ay ung message ni Sheng para kay Iyet. Laugh trip talaga tong mga to. Sa grupong to, asar talo. Pag hindi ka nagsasalita tulad ni Debbie, inaasar ka. Pag paminsan-minsan ka naman sumasabat, inaasar ka pa din. Wala kang pagpiliian eh. Pero mas masarap panoorin kung ung mga alaskador sila sila din nag-aasarap. Sarap lang manood. Friendship Over!

Day 3, Friday, October 20 (Uwian)

9AM - Meeting Sheng @ KCC

Dahil nabanggit ni JV (asawa ni Jessa) na pwede daw palitan ung flight ko at pwede akong dumaan ng Davao (sabay ng flight ni Sheng), bago bumalik ng Manila, na-excite naman ako. Nagkita kami ni Sheng para mamili daw ng pasalubong. Eh kaso hindi pala kami nagkaintindihan kc sabi pala nya dalhin ko na gamit ko para deretso na sa airport kasi traffic, kya pagdating ko sa KCC, balik agad bahay para kunin ang gamit. hahaha

12NN - Lunch @ KCC Foodcourt

Ang daming food choices na mukhang masasarap lahat. Kaso hindi lahat masarap.

Nag-text si Jessa na hindi na daw pwede palitan ung flight kc inaacept ko na daw ung offer ng Cebu Pac. Sayang pero OK lang.

1PM - Coffee @ Marcian Garden Hotel

After kumain dumiretso na kami sa airport. Konting pictorial.

Then na-realized ni Sheng na 2:50PM pa pala flight nya kaya tambay muna sa coffee shop. Sosyal, ang pinaka malapit na coffee shop na alam namin ay sa Marcian Garden Hotel. Ung tipong napakatahimik ng lugar at noong dumating kami puro lang kami tawanan. Mahigit isang oras din kami tumambay doon, sulit ung 200.00 na coffee break namin. May dalawang coffee at isang blueberry cheesecake ka na. Plus madaming pictures. Astig.

Did I mention that this has been our first meeting together after 10 years? Yes, it is. I met Sheng once in 2015 and Mariliz way back in 2009, and oh, a quick hi with Jereme at Golf in 2013.

Happy 3rd Birthday To Me! Thanks UBIC!

2017.09.09

It's my birthday, ya no.. LOL! Can't think anything to say but thank you guys. Yes, that's right, it's my 3rd birthday today. Yay!

Meeting The Olympian Michael Martinez For The First Time

August 31, 2017

For those who doesn't know Michael Martinez is, well, he's the first and only Philippine representative in Figure Skating in 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. And the fourth year of the Philippines to join the Winter Olympics.

Photo from his IG @martinezfrost3

Just recently, August 27, he bagged silver medal in the recently concluded SEA Games 2017 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

I've been following him on Instagram @martinezfrost3 since last year and he became active on vlogging (YouTube). In his homecoming from SEA Games, he announced in Instagram to give 50 pcs of shirts to his followers from his own merchandise called Michael Martinez Apparel (@michaelmartinezapparel), to be available soon online. Luckily I got picked.

Unfortunately there are only 2 sizes, small and medium only. My size is large but it's okay though because I get to meet him in person, that would be enough already and maybe give the shirt to my family/friends.

But by the time I got the shirt, it so soft, it's like begging me to wear it. Oh come on, I tried to fit anyways and I think it looks good on me (hahaha just me looking at the mirror, sorry but I really love the fabric, so comfy), I just need not to breathe for seconds, LOL, kidding. So, for now, this is mine. Yay!

Thanks Michael for being so kind and accommodating to us and of course, thanks for the shirt. I love it! Good luck for your 2018 Olympic qualifying and of course, the Olympic itself. Go for the gold.

Oh, if your interested to get one, just follow @michaelmartinezapparel Instagram for updates.

If I Die Today, Here's my Wishes and Wants

August 29, 2017

I just noticed that mostly of my friends in facebook posted about the death of their relatives. I can't help it but realized that life indeed short. We can never tell when is your last day here on earth unless the doctor said so or you take your own life.

Because of this, I've observe some beliefs or tradition or even new practices that I don't like. So I wanna list down my wishes and wants when I die.

I wish..

I wish to die in natural death. Because I wanna be buried or cremated. I don't want to imagine to die in an accident were my body got deformed or worst separated. I also don't want to imagine to die in a disaster like typhoon, earthquake or any mass death and my body went missing or can't be identified. Cross fingers.

I want..

I want, during wake or funeral, all the people that will be going will ONLY wear WHITE or RED. Wear red if you think I should be happy already where I'm going. But if you think I don't deserve to be happy, then wear white. But PLEASE, please DON'T WEAR BLACK. If you're wearing black, then PLEASE don't go because if you do, I'm going to hunt you (if I can do that, I really will). Because black for me is very lonely color. And if it is in my funeral it feels like you're sending me to darkness. I don't wanna be lonely, I just wanna be happy. Maybe you can print this so that other people will not ask questions why I wanna see red and I don't wanna see black.

Don't get me wrong, I wear black in casual/daily basis. Sometimes in happy cases like birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

Pictures really disturbs me every time I went to any wake or funeral specially in the tarp. Heller, concert? Where to buy tickets? LOL!

Well, if these are really necessary for you, then maybe don't put my close up picture were people could only see the holes in my face. OMG, that's gross. I'll put and update the pictures that I like here from time to time for you to use.
