MetroWalk

After the Banchetto experience, we walked along Ortigas Ave I guess to have some session.
Finally, we reached METROWALK, a place for happy happy.. :d hehehe
You can find many bars with live bands and karaoke rooms.

We went to this place which I forgot the name. haha
It has KTV rooms which are available for rent.

I rented one, for an hour and ordered some food such as SISIG, CALAMARES and SAN MIG LIGHTS (apple flavor).

It cost 1,600php.

Pwd na actually kaya lang I think it was expensive. Better siguro if nag STARLITE nalang kame sa AURORA CUBAO.. hehehe

Oh well, we had fun, so it was still good enough plus the bonding. :D WAPAK!

While I was reading this essay, I cant help myself but laugh.
Editing the essay is a task I am having trouble with.. hehe

Sick Sick

For some reason, here I am again, sick in bed.

It started on Wednesday when I woke up having a sorethroat.

Then Thursday came, same feeling. I took up some medicine such as Neozep and Medicol hoping to stop this incoming cold to no avail.

Kaya naman, on Friday, it came out. I catch this bad cold.

I was in the office, when my feelings got worts.

In fact, I was teaching, with teary eyes, tapos naiiyak pa ako sa sipon na ito.

Then while teaching, my time na natulo ung sipon like water sa ilong.

I needed na yumuko from time to time at mag mute ng mic para lang suminga.

At na babahin pa ako nun.

Grabe! It was really hard to teach.

But the bosses did not mind that.

They did not even ask me if I can still do it or not.

Ala nmn akong say don, anyway. I was able to do my task still.

My calls on Friday were all bad. Kasi nga dahil sa condition ko.

At strange pa ung voice ko.. hahaha

Recorded pa nmn ung mga un sa hopefully hindi un ang ma QA saken.

This Saturday, ala akong ginawa kundi ang mag rest, kumain, magnet at mag sleep.

May praktis nga para sa musical play e. But I texted the director that I wont be able to attend gawa na rin nitong sakit kong ito.

Ayoko nmn mahawa din sila since cold is a viral infection.

So there, hopefully, tomorrow e kahit papano mag subside na tong pakiramdam na ito.

PS. Let's continue to pray for Japan and the people who were affected by the earthquake and tsunami.

Always,

marcus ^^

ASH Wednesday

I was walking along Farmers Plaza in Cubao yesterday when I noticed this cross sign on the forehead of every people. Well, it was not actually new to me. It happens like every year when lenten season is coming.

Ash Wednesday, as they call it.

According to Wiki..
"Ash Wednesday, in the calendar of Western Christianity, is the first day of Lent and occurs 46 days before Easter. It is a moveable fast, falling on a different date each year because it is dependent on the date of Easter. It can occur as early as February 4 or as late as March 10.

According to the Canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus spent forty days fasting in the desert before the beginning of his public ministry, during which he endured temptation by Satan.[1][2] Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of this forty day liturgical period of prayer and fasting."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash_Wednesday)

So there, dont be surprised the next time you see people with this sign. They are not a member of a cult or something. They are just exercising their belief.

System Downtime

System Down

Yesterday was like one of the most happiest moments here in the office. The system went down for like 2 hours and because of that, we have to stop working. Our work is internet based so when the internet went off, we wont be able to have access to our system. Which was like a blessing in disguise for all of us but not for the korean managers.

The system never went down that long. Last year, we also had system down but it only lasted for less than 20 minutes if im not mistaken. However, yesterday's happening was remarkable. Haha. Aside from the not being able to gain access to the system, the internet port was turned on. It was usually the effect of the system downtime. So all the computers on the floor have internet access and you can notice the silence. Because all of the employees were busy updating their status on FB. No one was walking on the hallway. Even the comfort rooms were empty. Cool! We were enjoying the internet access while the korean managers were dreading because of the situation.

Anyways, up until now, the employees have access to internet and that makes our FRIDAY a very, awesome one. Im pretty sure that nobody will get mad or irate in their calls. I heard one teacher said, 45 calls would be fine as long as internet is on. :D

Good luck teachers!
Let's just hope that on Monday, you will still have this opportunity to gain access to your FBs at work.

Enjoy while the surfing at work lasts...
Cheers everyone!
Have a good weekend!

Samil Movement

March 1st

My parents were worried yesterday because I was not waking up on the usual wake up time. I heard them talking about me. They said i was late for work already. Hahaha Funny but how nice of them, really.

Since we were on a holiday yesterday, I got up really late like around 12pm. I dressed up and went to the mall to buy a bag. I bought this nice backpack at the dept store. Then, bought something from Mercury drug store then went back home.

At 6pm, I headed to the health club (gym, maiba lang). I worked out until 8:30pm. I got home at 9pm because I waited for the rain to stop before leaving the gym.

So there, that was how I spent my holiday off. Nothing special. Though that day was not paid by the company, still good because I was able to have some fun without thinking about my work... :P

NOTE:
March 1st - The Anniversary of the Independence Movement of March 1st, 1919
