Onwards to 2013

Sure the 2012 ain't so good for me, but I got a feeling 2013 is a great  year for me ^_^ Anyway, I have a workshift and luckily the company  provided us who are on shift a meal to celebrate the New Year and it's a yummy feast bought from Racks, woot. Aside from that, I treat my officemates with a Selecta Hershey's icecream from 7 11 and look what I got - a limited edition mug . For every purchase of any 1.5L Hershey's icecream you get 1 mug. It's great to start off the year 2013 with a prayer. Stay safe and God bless everyone!!!

      Another mug for me, yey ^_^

The mug is neatly boxed :) I think there's 5 designs to collect.

Kuwago's Island Grill - Bloggers Meet

Last night was such a blast at Kuwago's Island Grill located at Madison Square(near Robinsons Pioneer), thanks to Mark Ryan who just arrived from Malaysia. I met up with some of the bloggers including pusangkalye(tonio) and it sure was fun. Also, kudos to Ms. Maye(Playback) who's the singer at that moment. I manage to get some videos of  Ms. Mayes performance, and thanks to Tonio for the pics  ^_^. Enjoy Ms. Mayes splendid voice.

Philippine Volcanoes 2012 Highlights

Here's a video dedicated for all the fans and supporters of our very own Philippine Volcanoes National Rugby Team. My photo was selected as well, woot woot!!! Spot me around 3:26 ^_^

Company Christmas Party :D

It's fun to celebrate such events (Company Christmas Party) specially when the whole team take part in it. I'm the one wearing Lorch Furholden costume(only wearing a cowboy hat).



Happy Yuletide everyone!!!

Release thy stress!!!

These past weeks I've been stressed out...from the fact that 3 of my siblings lost their jobs and I have to choice but to shoulder the lost. Good thing TimeZone Glorietta is just a couple of blocks away from my work place. It's a great place to release those tensioned minds - you can play fun and exciting games like basketball hoops, whack the frog, etc. For me whack the frog is my favorite, you whack frogs and earn points. Look what I got today...

Feel Chibi Thor's might :D

Also, I'm just 6 points away from getting that TimeZone Gold card, yey!!!

PNRL - The Tamaraws touring the Philippines this October

Guess what, yesterday I just chatted with Fred Arquiza(he's a really really nice guy and a member of the Tamaraws ^_^ ) and is delighted to know that the Tamaraws(PNRL - Philippine National Rugby League team) will tour the Philippines this coming October. Fred eventually explained to me that there's the rugby union(the Volcanoes) and the rugby league(the Tamaraws)...now I feel like a noob hehe. Our Tamaraw boys will be touring this coming October to promote rugby league. Some of the locations they'll be visiting:

• Don Bosco Technical College Mandaluyong (DBTC) in Makati
• Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP) in Mariveles
• Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) in Cavite and
• Wärtsilä Subic Inc. at Subic

I'm thrilled to know they'll be visiting Manila and am hoping to watch them play. Here's the offical page of the Tamaraws on facebook;

I've always been a fan of Lauryn Hill, ahh, those times with the Fugees and who could forget the songs like "Killing me softly" and "No woman no cry". Out of stardom she just disappear and guess what, I'm so happy that she didn't let herself became a puppet in the music industry.  Well, I still love her and her music, and definitely love her more now that she came out of the dark to explain and clear out everything. <3

Here's the link on her tumblr account.

Heartburn...

Yesterday I felt like my chest is burning...specially when I burp. Also, it's like my throat got a pill or something stuck in it. I really feel weird and thought maybe it's my tummy acting up and I just need to burp it out(the gas inside my tummy). Well, I was wrong for my supervisor at work experienced the same thing and it's what we called heartburn. As I traced my actions these past week, I over eat, I barely exercise and I sleep after eating >_<.  I better be careful of my unhealthy habit or else it will catch up on me.

Here's some faq's on heartburn:

  * The word 'heartburn' is derived from the Greek root 'pyr' meaning fire and heat. The medical term for it is pyrosis.
* Heartburn is not medically related to the heart. It is a burning sensation behind the breastbone caused when the lower esophageal sphincter malfunctions letting gastric acid flow up from the stomach into the esophagus.
* Battery acid is almost equal in strength to stomach, gastric acid.
* Approximately 1 out of 10 Americans get heartburn every day. That's roughly 25 million people.
* The Italians call heartburn 'bruciore di stomaco' which means 'stomach burn.'
* Nora Ephron wrote the script for the 1986 movie Heartburn, a movie directed by Mike Nichols. It was based on her novel with the same name and starred Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson. It was largely autobiographical and depicted the sad antics of a pregnant woman and her philandering husband. It opened to mixed reviews at the box office.
* For most people, heartburn is mild and occasional. However, if you encounter it daily and often or have symptoms like trouble swallowing, seek professional help. Make an appointment with your doctor. It may be a symptom of a more serious medical condition.

Philippines Rugby Team, Volcanoes on top of the A5N series

Me and a couple of friends watch the match between our volcano boys versus Srilanka. The boys successfully done tries on the first half putting pressure on Srilanka. The match is intense and you can feel the excitement all around the stadium, specially on the final half wherein Srilanka almost catch up. In the end the Volcanoes triumphs over Srilanka. After the match, it's great to see the boys run around the stadium to greet the fans and trully it's one of those special moment that you can say AWESOME!!!

As I know, the top winner of the A5N tourney is entitled for a qualifier match for the World Cup. So cheers to the Volcanoes, and thanks for all those who throw their support.
