With my aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces, father's side.

Gifts!

Two monkeys! The bigger monkey from Jen, the smaller one from Grace.

People know me very well. For one they noticed that I don't have my own mug and glass at the SLIS. I got a lot of mugs, which is kewl because we really have a collection of mugs and glasses here at home. Now I can't decide which to bring to UP.

December 21, 2008

• Food trip at Dampa sa Libis with LISSA peeps (Von, Rex, Myk, Wee)
• Ginoyo ni Jen Agustin, akala namin nandito sa Manila uli at nagpapa-aya sumama, yun pala nasa Pangasinan lang talaga... Inubos text namin.
• Had shrimp in garlic butter, shrimp sinigang, calamares, stuffed squid, tahong in garlic butter, baked tahong and bbq. Solb!
• Gloria Jeans with Abie, straight from Japan.
• Gotti's with Abie, Enteng and Luchie (last remaining kuyukots in the Philippines).
• Traffic all the way home.
• Testing out the SE k770i.
• That's not milk. Japanese liquor in tetra pack with Noh emblem from Abie. Too strong for me.

*burp*

Came home...

Sony Ericsson K770i... To replace my Asus V80 which I lost during the lantern parade. But wait... There's more... Jelly Belly, the thumb-sucking monkey, from a UFO Catcher kiosk in Tom's World. Hehehe.

A Boyband Dec 13

From the official P3 press release: It's time for the P3 reunion! The staff of Bitter Gourd Talent Management and the boys of P3--Vince Valvolene aka Ryan Rev-X, Dodong "Diether" Diesel, Brad Barbula and Cody Havoline--who still looked hot and hunky (cough) met up for their annual Christmas dinner. The band may have broken up but the boys promise to make their comeback soon. Here's a shout out to our former manager Nick B. who is now in New Zealand. Nick! Wish you were here! Note: Just an annual get-together of a bunch of friends who write, edit and draw for different magazines and manga publications here and abroad. Yes, sad to say, there really is a virtual boyband called P3.

My Dandy Dec 12...

Yes, my day in pictures.

*LIS 114 Pop-up Book submission day...
Lots of nice submissions.

Yes, that is a cherry stem and I could make a knot with my tongue. :D
Challenge of the day, manual focus, depth of field, low light.
Ayun, konti rin pics ko dyan, most by Jen and Marj, some by Myk and Asia.

*Midnight Lib Raid at Kabaka Library
Met with Jon at Kabaka Library near Sarahs.
Found out that Anne Pabellon and Emjae Jacob were part of the early times of the library project.

*Sigh* Pagod, naasar minsan, inantok, pero okay pa rin. :D

A Tired Dec 11...

VIDEOKE - Basil Valdez - Kastilyong Buhangin

All together now!
===========

Minsan ang 'sang pangako'y maihahambing
Sa isang kastilyong buhangin,
Sakdal-rupok at huwag di masaling
Guguho sa ihip ng hangin

Ang alon ng maling pagmamahal
Ang s'yang kalaban n'yang mortal,
Kapag dalampasiga'y nahagkan
Ang kastilyo ay nabubuwal

Kayat bago nating bigkasin ang pagsintang sumpa
Sa minumutya, sa diwa't gawa,
Pakaisipin naitn kung pag-ibig ay wagas
Kahit pa magsanga ng landas

Minsan dalawang puso'y nagsumpaan
Pag-ibig na walang hanggan,
Sumpang kastilyong buhangin pala
Pag-ibig na pansamantala.

Kayat bago nating bigkasin ang pagsintang sumpa
Sa minumutya, sa diwa't gawa,
Pakaisipin naitn kung pag-ibig ay wagas
Kahit pa magsanga ng landas

Minsan dalawang puso'y nagsumpaan
Pag-ibig na walang hanggan,
Sumpang kastilyong buhangin pala
Pag-ibig na
Pansamantala, luha ang dala
'Yan ang pag-ibig na nangyari sa atin,
Gumuhong kastilyong buhangin.

Ang mga dapat mag-submit at magpakita sa mga program at thesis adviser...

MAGPARAMDAM NAMAN NA DAW KAYO!

Pero wag namang sobrang kulit din, ha.
Pag natanggap na, e wait muna.
Naka-linya na yun sa MGA babasahin namin.

(Hint: Pag masyadong makulit, sige kayo,
babalik din yan sa inyo,
lalo kayong mapapahamak.)

(Hint: Pag wala kayong sinasubmit o di nagpaparamdam,
nakakalimutan naman ang topic nyo. Hirap din nun.)

(Just spreading around the trademark SLIS tough love.
Yung sa mga akin, wag muna,
makapal pa backlog ko na babasahin
at e-editin sa thesis pile.
Obvious ba na stressed na
kahit di pa nagsisimula ang sem?)

SLIS 2nd Sem Enlistment 08-09

Tanong... Ano ang ginagawa nung mga tao sa unang litrato?

a. Naghahanap ng mae-enlistan na subject sa CRS;
b. Tinitingnan kung pasado ang mga grado nila sa CRS;
c. Naghahanap ng panibagong proxy dahil na-block na naman ang ginagamit nila; o
d. Pinapanuod si Sarah Geronimo at John Lloyd Cruz sa "A Very Special Love"?

At ang tamang sagot kaya napalabas ako ng Faculty Room dahil sa hiyawan at nakapagpagising kay Ate Shelly sa Computer Lab dahil sa ingay ay....

Tan-ta-na-nan!
