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.

And for someone with a premium account who takes a lot of pics, that goddamn hurts.

I hope you fix it, multiply, the main reason I stayed here was because things like this didn't happen for the past couple of years.

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.

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

Crude Oz

Deo, one of my friends and ka-yosihan dati sa SLIS (ILS some time ago) is the main man of the band Crude Oz. Their cds are free and one of these days he'll probably be around to drop off some copies for the SLIS peeps.

In the meantime you could also download the songs at
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/crudeozmusic.

You could also check them out on the intarwebs via:
