Instead of heading home, I ended up walking to G4 to watch ICE AGE 2!!!

FUN FUN FUN!

We occuppied the whole front row of the movie house. I heart Ice Age 2! Bentang benta! I kept on laughing til my stomach ached a bit. In addition, I had to control my laughter and breathe. When I looked to my right all I saw were wide smiles.

It was a good way to end a stressful week.

Early Morning Hassle

Case 1:
The tank was almost empty so we had to go get gas. How irresponsible can the previous person who used the car get? He knew that the car will be used early the next day. Why did he not at least put some gas afterwards? Thus, we lined up along with the taxi and jeeps and wait for our turn at the station. To make matters worse, he did not check the tires of the vehicle! 17 is a far cry from 30! We had to put some air.

Case 2:
On Wednesdays three cars are technically available. But yesterday only one car was on hand since my oh so responsible brother’s car is still busted and he borrowed the other car the last minute for his beach outing. The car that was left was the one which has a color coding exemption from MMDA. Our trip was smooth until one of the four guys in yellow asked us to stop. I showed him the exemption that was displayed on top of the dashboard. It was weird since on our way we've passed a handful of policemen already and they did not stop us or whatever. He got the paper and went back to his colleagues to consult them. Then we he surfaced, he asked for the driver's license and he wanted to ticket us since Makati apparently doesn't not honor MMDA. Umm, hello, isn't the color coding scheme from MMDA?!? DUH!

Well, at least I arrived the office safely and nothing bad happend to me. Just a lil high blood. Haha. Just kidding. But when I think back I get depressed cause I see how irresponsible people are. They also take their chances and see if ever they can take advantage of other people. Oh... that's life for others.

Monday Blues

I positively thought that my cellular phone slipped off my pocket when I stepped of the car. This suspicion entered my mind when I sat on my workstation and checked if I had my phone. I inspected my pockets but it was not there. I looked over my bag, desk and pedestal but it was nowhere to be found. Passively, I started to panic.

This hunch entered my mind because it actually slid my pocket on my work. This alarmed me since I made sure that I would not leave it when I saw it on the seat. How stupid of me to forget it after I quietly told myself that I should not!

When I was semi settled down, I plotted ways on how to make sure that I really left it inside the car. I would phone home at around 10:30 to verify that I was that dumb to leave it. Or maybe I would borrow on of my officemate’s phone and contact my phone.

Then suddenly I realized… I place my oh so wonderful phone inside my breast pocket when I was inside the elevator. All that terror was for nothing. Good thing that it did not vibrate or anything or else I bet I would look more of a loser than I already am.

Is it because it’s Monday?

March 16 - Food Trip Gallore

Thursday

My team had lunch here. I do not know who paid for our buffet meal but it was for free. I guess the money we used was part of the money we got for earning the top prize last Christmas. Or then again one of my co-teammates just felt like treating the whole team. Haha.

Anyway, for me the food was nothing that special. For my first serving I got from their Japanese selection. As usual I did not let the california maki, sushi, sashimi and tempura pass. I am not a food expert or anything in that line but their Japanese food was not that great. I had better sushi in other restaurants.


At the other side there was calmchowder soup, Caesar salad and coldcuts. I loved their salad. It was like Heaven. It was swimming with sauce and the vegatables were fresh. Yum.

Their Italian section was beside the Japanese food. They had pasta with your choice of sauce. I did not get from this section because I am fairly happy with the pasta we have at home and at the other house. Nah, in reality I was making space for their Filipino selection.

The hanged/displayed lechon looked so tempting. In fairness it was good even if I do not eat the balat. Then again, nothing beats Cebu's lechon. Beef and mushroom, spicy tahong, fish fillet and lumpia was served as well. I got beef and mushroom and lumpia only. Actaully it was more of beef and lil of mushroom since there were only bits of mushrooms. Their lumpia was kinda dry. I did not get the tahong since I cannot handle spicy stuff but my officemate said it was great.

For dessert they had halo-halo, mini doughnuts, some cake, ice cream and mixed fruits. I got mixed fruits and ice cream only since I did not have space anymore. I wanted to get more ice cream then again I was full already and something not nice might happen.

I know... I should work on my eating powers. Hehe.

For dinner, I opted for Saisaki buffet over the Dad's buffet because I was still full from my lunch. As usual I had my doze of sushi, sashimi, salmon and tempura. In my opinion, Saisaki is Saisaki. Period.

Had some nakaw steak, lechon, blueberry cheesecake and cream puff from my sibling. I guess it was pay back for dessert this time for me. Yum!

Oh, they also gave away cutie stuffed toys for every drink you buy. My older brother was so funny when he saw the monkey, tiger and zebra stuffed toys he went loco. He badly wanted to get his own. So he ordered a stuffed toy with a free drink. Haha.

Watcha Looking At?

This picture was taken at the office during the last week of December during the World Pyro Olympics.

Yep. We were trying to get a glimpse of the fireworks from our floor. We had a good view actually only if the building was not there which covered 1/3 of the fireworks display
