Love doesn't just sit there like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.

V-Day is Vekkie's Day!


V-DAY is Vek's Day! Not only is my bongacious girlfriend's birthday, but I heard the greatest news. My morning girl, my coffee mate, my neighbor, my evil-step sis is getting marriiieeeedddd!!!! I'm so happy for you friend! :)

We've gone through a lot of ups and downs, in our careers, our closure sessions and finally moving on. I cried when you told me 'coz I'm so happy for you. So much for 'apparitions', 'old friends', 'teletubby', I'm sure you're gonna be very very busy in the preparations. But don't worry too much, I'm sure you're gonna be the most fabulous bride! :) Though we're oceans apart, I'm always here for you.
Lab yah! Sis :)

All In A QA Day's Work

There are times when I need to fill in for some people. Like this week. I do part-time QA test. It's really a sight for sore eyes, and I mean in the literal sense of the word. Good thing about it is I cannot get clumsy so I have a good excuse to have more than my usual cups of caramel macchiato!
This job is something not everybody in System Development wants to do. But I like doing it. I like challenging the developer's programs. I like teasing developers and giving them mind-boggling bugs to solve. I like to argue. And win! hahahaha...An officemate of mine once told me, I'm a highly competitive person. Yes, I won't deny that!
Sometimes I know how to fix the bugs, or I have already asked other people for the solution, but I won't tell it. I'll let the developers solve it on their own, hahaha. I'm so so bad! I enjoy seeing them 'ganbarimasu' especially if bug fixing activities suddenly seems like a Math Quiz! Who solves first passes with flying colors, hahahaha...

Pinoy Weekend

Went out with some Pinoys in my office. Our Saturday night gimik??? Billiards, Bowling and Dinner. It's been quite a while that I played Billiards. To make it more fun, we competed against each other. Marvin/Agdie Vs Me/Junard. It was a tough match! 3-3 apiece. We only had 6 minutes so we set a rule that most balls pocketed in wins. It's different when you play a pressured game, and it turned out Agdie and Marvin are pressure players(good thing there's no bet!)

Then we went Bowling. Secretly I was smiling, ahhahaha, "this is my game!". Though I've not bowled since I seriously took badminton, I somehow have that confidence (hahaha, yabang?!). My first shot ....tsk tsk, bad! bad! [5/2-]. But I got my bearing as we progressed. It ended up, second. Turns out Agdie is a good bowler!

Agdie and me at the Bowling Center. We're waiting for our turn...I really don't care about 'porma' on weekends hehehhee..

It's been a busy weekend with company of Pinoys. Moments like these, I miss my bowling, karaoke, badminton and coffee pals in the Philippines. I miss the 'kwentuhans' until 3am! I miss the 'pustahans' in bowling. I miss badminton tourneys. Well, I miss a lot of things and a lot of people. Trade offs for a greater quest...:)


True when they say that you sometimes take things for granted, and people too. When I was still in Manila, my friends would always complain that I have little time for them. That they need to make 2-months advance reservation of my time. I wasn't really thinking about that but now, I realize yes I have missed so much on my friends. I have been busy with my business, busy building up my career, busy with my badminton, busy with the choir, busy traveling. I was always on the go. Because I thought that quantity matters over quality. I thought that I should try everything so when I grow old I won't have regrets.

I hardly have time to slow down and appreciate the little wonders that surround me. I've always been living for the future and treasuring the past so much that I take for granted the present. I ended up regretting.

But living far away from friends, I have learned to spend more time thinking about them. Believe it or not, I've been talking with them more often now. Strange, isn't it?
