Physical
Jogging! Woohoo! Finally got some good exercise inserted in the weekly routine of work life. It's great to just let loose the accumulated energy from sitting in the office five days a week. It started yesterday, first day of the weekly jog at Abellana Sports Complex. After one year of the working life with skipping gym sessions from different gyms, I decided to join a friend's invite to jog and get the body moving for good health. Can't let the flabs own me. Never!

Brosis
A five day visit from my brother and sister from Japan was really short but fun. They arrived last April 29 near midnight to see them after four months from my vacation. They had their stuffs to do here in Cebu so the following day, they immediately went to complete their errands. After which they went out with their Highschool, College (not sure), and Work people (i think). I did go out with my brother to watch the sequel of Iron Man (And I watched it twice - second time was with my college berks).
Sunday, May 2, we had a family outing at Portofino! It was nice to go out to the beach with the family and just enjoy the sea breeze. We had to take turns on who goes in the water and who watches the things. There was this sort of boat-like bench somewhere far from the shore that my brother and I went to. It was at a place that was so deep that even plunging in a diver's way wouldn't even let your feet touch the floor. It was generally a fun filled family experience to enjoy.
Sadly the five days have to end and they have to go back. Now I'll wait four months before, hopefully, I can see both of them again.

Adventure
There would be no other word that best described what happened that Friday night. After a casual dinner with the gang at Ila Puti. Laughter started that night when Alex approached a table for two and talked with "Karissa" which was an epic fail! I mean at first, anyone could realize that it wasn't her mainly because it was only a table for two and there were 10 or us. Kudos for your fail 'lex. After a huge dinner, we went to La Marea for some just-sit-and-talk-with-coffee time. After which right then and there, the group decided going to Mountain View which was suggested again and again before but pushed through only at that day and so it began. Sadly not all went with us but nevertheless 7 is not a bad number at all. Daryl, Fred, Erwin, Me, Kim, Judy, and Lorena.
First up, we wouldn't go to an adventure without any food and drink. So we went to Mercury Drug and bought Sour Cream Piatos, Tostillos, Bacon and Cheese Clover, 2 Nagarayas original and hot&spicy, and a couple of Loacker Waffles. Sadly no 1L water could be bought there so we headed out to Everything2Go to buy about 6L of Absolute water suggested by Kim (supposedly 1L per person but miscalculated, D'oh!). The travel from IT park to Mountain View was a sinch. Got 2 taxis to take us there, simple. Once there, we started our hike all the way top to a point where we found the perfect place to stay and no, we didn't stay in a place where there was a karaoke machine. But we didn't walk all the way there without any bloopers - It wouldn't be fun, right? On our way up, the plastic bag that held 5L of water bottles tore and was it a great chase. Daryl and Erwin chased the bottles downhill while everyone was laughing and thank God for Judy for the car that was heading down had it's headlights on. Phew! The spot where we sat down had a great view of Cebu City. It was really fun to just hang out, eat some chips, drink water, and laugh 'til your stomach hurts. That was where we spent most of our time. Aside from all that fun, Fred, Kim, and I saw two shooting stars. Later we noticed that the place below us that had a karaoke machine was vacant so we went down and decided to stay there. It was Fred's defining moment for it was like he had a concert. Oh! Don't forget the blooper we had here. Fred really believed that we had hacked the karaoke machine just because we told him to just select songs without inserting in coins which in fact, Daryl had already inserted it ahead of time. Good one! After we ran out of 5 peso coins, the karaoke's rate per song, we just sat there and began talking again.
3 AM came, so we thought of starting our hike all the way down since we still had a lot of distance to cover. About approximately 1/10 of our hike, we saw a jeep that decided to start his round early and so we hopped aboard on our way back to civilization. Luckily the jeep was to pass Jones, that was where we went and had breakfast at McDonalds. We got there at around 4 AM but none of us really cared what time it was. After breakfast, we finally went to our separate ways home. Got home around 6 AM, took a shower and slept. Adventure, complete.

Yiruma
Last Sunday, I had a chat with a friend of mine. It felt... nice... having to chat with someone you had lost communication with for a long time. She placed this link as her status message on her Yahoo Messenger account, curious of what it was, I clicked it. Turns out it was a very nice video on Youtube. Anyways, I couldn't stop looking at the video as it progressed then started remembering the good memories I had way back in the past.
As we continued chatting, I began researching it over the net since I liked the music so much. Well, she told me that she wanted to have a copy of it so I went ahead and searched the song on my favorite download place, 4shared. (lucky it isn't banned in the office) Going back, I gave her the link for the mp3s. I didn't expect that she'd also go ahead and research it herself. She gave me a link to all the songs that artist had. And you guessed it right, the artist's name is Yiruma. (It's the title of this post) Instrumental music really helps me relax. I just finished downloading all the songs in the link she gave me tonight and now I'll listen to it at work! It relieves me of all the destress I get from the office. It brings me peace when I listen to it.
Here's the link:

Sunday Night
Sunday night. It started with a simple gathering of friends at Joven's Grill and Seafood Restaurant for the celebration of Daryl's graduation.
People started arriving when it was already 7 plus. It was a good thing. The later eating started, the more food I could consume. Ate quite a lot of food that time since I barely had anything that day considering I had brunch at 12 noon or so and I didn't eat any snacks at all. Until I came to a point where I really had to stop. Pictorials followed during and after eating. There were also some stand up jokes care of stand up jokers. What was really interesting that night was the after party. We decided to go to POD 5.
POD 5 was really where the party started. Everyone was enjoying it nonstop for 3 whole hours. With all the singing, dancing, partying, eating, and drinking began. As for the drinks, no beers were present. The 3 hours felt like an eternity despite having so much fun! Sadly all things had to have endings so we all finished it with the singing of the Philippine National Anthem inside the KTV room which really ended all the fun.
It was really something new and something to remember. Thanks for the great time all~!!

Congratulations
Congratulations 2nd Batch of '09!
Last saturday was the graduation of the "Octoberians" for graduating last October 10, 2009. Congratulations guys!!
Had to wake up at 9AM on a Saturday which is so not me. Get ready and go meet the new members of the unemployed people here in the Philippines. But I bet these graduates/friends of mine can pick up a job in less than a month with their skills. So, I went together with a close friend of mine to the ceremonies where it was still ongoing as we arrived there. Stayed there for like 3 hours but time flew by fast enough for our stomachs to say "we need food!"
Finally! The ceremonies were over and we have finally met up with our friends who had big smiles that day. After that we did have lunch at Hukad, Ayala care of Jan Philip Mendoza and family (Thanks!). That was quite a lunch. Then we met up with more of our friends who were also at Ayala. And my hunch was right, I knew we'd end up no place else but Timezone. Still full from lunch, dessert followed next at Gelatisimo. Looking for water after eating too much of sweet goodness, we all headed up to the place of free water, Food Choices!
I then separated from the group to buy food for dinner at home since it is my dad's birthday on the same day! (Happy Birthday Dad! - birthday's on the 10th and not 13th)
What a day... What - a - day indeed. It was a fun day.
Congratulations to all graduates~!
Congrats Joy~!!

New Drugs
New drugs coming through...
I can't believe there is such a game that exists which made me addicted to online gaming again. To all those who are asking what it is, well, it is GhostX. It's a game where you use nanobots to become your weapon at the same time be your companion in all your GhostX life. You can choose to combine them to make powerful nanobots or just use them as they are and evolve them to their higher levels. This game really made me an addict for quite a while until I snapped out of it and thought that i was still playing on a closed beta version. For those wondering what is closed beta, it's usually where the Game Masters or GMs for short wipe out all the characters before open beta starts. Which is by the way this coming October 28. For those interested, you can visit ghostx.gamengame.com/ check it out~!
What can I say? I'm a gamer! \m/
See you online if ever you're going to be~!!
