A few months ago, I was given a list of YM IDs by a Manila-based gamer. I was to contact and interview those on the list for my gaming blog. Most of the gamers graciously accepted my request to be added in their YM list. Most of them were eager to chat with me. One, however, was arrogant and annoying. Ria's YM Request: Hi! This is Ria of DotAStrategy.com. "Person" gave me your YM ID. I would like to interview you for my blog. Arrogant Gamer: Who are you? Why did you add me? Who gave you my ID? Ria: Ria of DotAStrategy.com. "Person" gave me your YM ID. I would like to interview you for my blog. Arrogant Gamer: Oh. K! After a while, Arrogant Gamer suddenly kept on bugging me by sending me "Khulet!" messages via YM. One time, I was bored and answered by telling him he was the "Kulit!" one and not me. For a time, we chatted over YM constantly. Then, we exchanged cellphone numbers to set a match game between his team and my team. One day, he was bugging me about my favorite songs. Then, he bugged me to search for his favorite…

What Have I Been Up To?
I know, I know. My personal blog *ehem*THIS ONE*ehem* has been quite boring. I haven't been all emo and angsty. And I haven't been really excited about anything either. Not that my life is boring. On the contrary, my life has been very HECTIC. For one, I have been building my own business. It's a consultancy and events firm. Initially, it was formed to accommodate the consultancy work I have been doing, and to market some IT events here in Davao City. Luckily, somebody mistakenly finally asked me to be a co-coordinator of their wedding. I have been waiting for this chance. While it is very stressful, I find it very exciting and fulfilling. So now, I am focusing on promoting and providing customized wedding coordination services, and I have been getting a lot of inquiries. I already have my first real client. YEY! Somebody also hired me to be their wedding reception's emcee. So again, YEY! And I've been promoting my new business via my blog, and I have just earned my very first cents from it. LOL! Another thing I've been busy with giving talks. So far, I have been to Marbel to talk about Internet Marketing and…
Tonight by Static FM
TONIGHT by FM Static I remember the times we spent together on those drives We had a million questions all about our lives and when we got to New York everything felt right I wish you were here with me tonight I remember the days we spent together were not enough and it used to feel like dreamin' except we always woke up Never thought not having you here now would hurt so much Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up I need your loving hands to come and pick me up And every night I miss you I can just look up and know the stars are holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight I remember the time you told me about when you were eight And all those things you said that night that just couldn't wait I remember the car you were last seen in and the games we would play All the times we spilled our coffees and stayed out way too late I remember the time you SAT AND told me about your Jesus and how not to look back even if no one believes us When it hurt so bad sometimes not having…

My Speed Dating Experience
Last Friday, I hurried to Caffe Vivere at around 7 pm for the speed dating event. I. WAS. LATE. When I arrived, I saw three guys, two of them were already my friends. After a while, the other participants arrived. Meantime, me and my guy friends chatted while eating some food. I wanted to eat more but I was you know... trying not too eat too much. LOL! I also had some of their fabulous iced tea. YUMMY! I was kinda worried though because as moments passed by, more and more guys started arriving. It was kinda intimidating to be the only girl. Good thing other girls also started arriving after a while. Peculiar thing though, some participants arrived in twos, but according to them they're not a couple. ANYWAY... Around past 8 pm, there were enough participants to get the ball rolling. So there I was, armed with my score sheet and the #4. I took my seat and got to meet bachelor #4. After eight minutes... came bachelor number #5. At the end of the thing, I got to meet eight guys. All of them were interesting... but in different ways, and at different levels. Would I consider…
My Valentine's Date: Surf n Turf with the Relatives
Early yesterday morning, my Tita already sent me an SMS inviting me to eat dinner at their house that evening. Of course I didn't refuse. Later that day, there I was along with my Titas, a Tito, and my single cousins: Kuya Andrew, Luan, and Gwing. (Why is is the singles are gamers and bloggers? LOL!) We had fabulous grilled steak marinated in Worcestershire sauce, gravy, crabs, and mashed butter with potatoes. We ended the meal with some dark chocolates and sparkling wine. YUMMY! Meals with my relatives are always interesting. Not just coz my Titas are great cooks (hear that Ninang Ivi?), but also because of the amount of gossip you hear. Haha! Mostly, we talk about our relatives who are not present (hear that non-single cousins?), family friends, and even celebrities. All in all it was nice meal. Nothing fancy, but memorable.
