Give Me More Time... Pleaseeeeee........

I want to post a lot of entries here from the time I moved to my new company up to this very moment (5 months din yun huh!). I missed a lot really. But I couldn't find time. So busy with so many things. Don't know where to start hehehehe... I'm in the mood to write, the problem is baka bukas pa ko matapos kapag sinimulan. Hopefully next week, with a long vacation at that, I can spend at least a day to post everything here. See yah! :)

One More Chance

After about 5 months of staying away from gimiks (due to a very horrible experience that I prefer not to disclose as of this moment, later maybe :D ), finally, I got this chance to bond once again with my girl-friends. Met Tabel, Niks and Jhie after office and went straight to Rockwell to watch One More Chance starring Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz. It was my first time to watch a movie with them. Yep, first time indeed! :)

The movie was good, well, story-wise. I cannot comment on its technicalities like scoring, editing, etc. 'coz I'm not an expert at it. All I can say is that the film made me cry... laugh... smile... giggle... and think (over and over). Star Cinema's mastery of creating close-to-reality type of story made me felt like I was one of the characters.

We had dinner at Kenny Roger's and still couldn't get over Popoy and Basha. Nakaka-relate kasi ang mga bruha... maski si Tabel! :P After dinner, we met Aedner and his tropa at Starbucks Greenbelt, had a short chat with them and finally, Niks, Tabel and I went to Cena for a few rounds of Frozen Gin Pomelo :).

Had a very heartwarming (hihihihihi...) and meaningful conversation, talking 'bout relationship, career, family and many more. Tabel wanted to sing and we decided to spend more hours in Platinum but unfortunately, the rate was too expensive for the three of us. So, we endep up eating tokwa't baboy in Tiananmen hehehehehe.....

119 --> 110 --> 114 --> 107

It was in May last year when I decided to lose weight. From 119, it went down to 110 in 3 months. I was so proud of myself then and I promised that I won't hit the 112-mark again. Been successful with that until last month, I hit the 114 lbs scale. Gosh!!!! I didn't know what went wrong. I never noticed that change and I was really upset. That's when I started to do regular exercise at home and cut my carb ang sweets intake. Now, I weigh 107 lbs!!!! :) But still, I need to work on my abs to get the perfect look :) Good luck to me!!! :)

My Desktop

My old desktop had its well-deserved retirement last November 1. Actually, it was a "forced" retirement since when I woke up that day and turned it on, ayaw ng mag-boot :( That's when I decided to purchase a new one, hopefully before Christmas since I have a lot of things to do that only the Internet can help me :) After 2 weeks of canvassing thru the help of cyberspace and friends, I now have my new desktop :) Bought the parts and had it assembled in PC Express Monumento branch. I saved around 8K from my first option from another computer store plus I can pay it in 3 months at 0% interest :)

• Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 2.20Ghz 1G RAM
• Asus P5GC1333-MX i945GC Vpcie/S/L
• 17" LG LCD Monitor

And this is the first time that I configured a desktop. Yes, nakakahiya mang sabihin kasi IT professional ako e... pero it was my first time to install OS, configure the drivers, back up my files from my old HDD and many others. I'm so proud of myself.. (*wink*). But of course, all these things were made possible with the help of my friends. Thanks, guys! :)

'di ko pa maayos yung mga cords hehehehe....

From SAN-MI-GUEL to MAG-NO-LIA

From Malaya online:

From Beermen to Beverage Masters

---

BY NOLI CORTEZ

ONLY the name was changed, not the determination to succeed.

That was how San Miguel Beer management explained the reason for the change in moniker – from Beermen to Magnolia Beverage Masters – of the team that will see action in the 33rd PBA season that starts on Oct. 14 at the Araneta Coliseum.

"We expect the Magnolia Beverage Masters to carry on the winning tradition of the San Miguel Beer team," said San Miguel Beverages Inc. president Robert Huang in a media conference yesterday in which the team’s new name and look was bared.

Bernie Marquez, SMBI general manager for domestic operations, said the players are also expected to act as ambassadors of the firm’s beverage lines that include Magnolia Health Tea and Fruit Drinks as well as Magnolia Pure Water.

Hopes for the team doing well and adding on to the Beermen’s PBA-best 17 championships have not been diluted, however.

Observers believe this team has what it takes to improve on its runner-up finish in last year’s Philippine Cup, its pre-season top seeding brought about mainly by the acquisition of sniper Larry Fonacier and draft picks Samigue Eman and Jonas Villanueva.

They are expected to greatly bolster a lineup already well-stocked with the likes of Danny Ildefonso, Dondon Hontiveros, Danny Seigle, LA Tenorio, Olsen Racela, Wesley Gonzales, Chris Calaguio, Lordy Tugade, Willie Wilson, Gabby Espinas and Dorian Pena, who is expected to be fully recovered and 100 percent game-fit from a foot surgery when he rejoins the team in mid-December.

As is his wont, head coach Siot Tanquingcen preferred to downplay his team’s chances.

"I must admit, this team is loaded with talent," said Tanquingcen. "But traditionally, it’s how a team transfers its strength from paper to the playing court that matters. We still have to do that."

The threats posed by Talk N Text and Alaska should also not be taken lightly, added the two-time champion coach with Ginebra. The only way to do that, he stressed, is to achieve the vital chemistry.

""We have to have everybody on the same page and play our game the way it should be played," Tanquingcen said.

For the record, the SMC team, one of the league’s pioneers in 1975 as Royal Tru-Orange, had played under the brand name Magnolia in the 1984-85 and 1986-87 seasons.

It carried the name San Miguel Beer first in the 1980-81 campaign and, seemingly for good, in 1987-88.
