So we attended a children's party over at Jim Haw's house, and we ended up playing a board game. We played Cranium, a fun mix of all the games we usually play: Charades, Pictionary, Guess that Song, Trivia, and more. Brendel was really good in humming. And Jim Haw? He's an encyclopedia. PFT! Kuya Andrew, of course, did well in drawing stuff. Lyle was good at sensing which trivia questions are trick questions. Some people, they sucked at spelling. LOL! I was the only one who didn't win a single game. :'( What made the game really fun were the boo-boos we made along the way. Chattee did a really fun acting out of "Karaoke Bar." LOL! And the clay sculptures were hilarious. Try sculpting on clay the expression "Can of worms." In a minute! Here are some samples of what some of us drew... try guessing what they are: (The clue/category for all is "thing" except for B which is a "band.") FUN TIMES!

Friendship Kayak
Last night, I received a message from Ate Jojie Alcantara inviting us bloggers to the press conference for Friendship Kayak. Kuya Andrew, Chattee, and I were a bit late when we arrived at the event shortly after 11 this morning. But we didn't miss a lot. The three paddlers, Singaporean motivational speaker and accomplished adventurer Khoo Swee Chiow, Visayan Buzzy Budlong, Dabawenyo Arnel Gabutero and their support boat staff have just arrived at the shore of the Pearl Farm Marina. After a brief lunch, we gathered for the press con. Expedition Manager Toby Martin kicked things off by explaining what the Friendship Kayak is. Last year, while visiting the Philippines for a talk, Swee Chiow, having climbed the seven summits in one year and holding two Guiness Book of World Records titles, was inspired to have another great adventure. Fascinated by the Philippines' 7,107 islands, Swee Chiow proposed the idea of kayaking through the archipelago. Through various circumstances, Swee Chiow teamed with Toby, and fellow paddlers Buzzy and Arnel and planned to kayak through the archipelago from August to November 2009, coinciding with the 40 years of friendship between the Philippines and Singapore. Also going on board for the adventure…
Nobody But You
Been around Koreans for quite some time. But I'm not a fan of their pop culture. Nothing against it, just really not a fan. Aside from Princess Hours, Fullhouse, and Kim Sam Soong, I was never really a fan of Koreanovelas or Korean stars unlike say... Brendel or Kring. But I do enjoy talking to Koreans and interacting with them coz they're soooo funny. And my adopted uncle Brian Choi always treats me to free drinks and food. AUTOMATIC! Some of my friends have been singing and dancing to this song "Nobody" but being clueless that I am, I don't know the song and haven't watched the video. But I saw the Kringy teach the dance steps to pre-school students and it got me curious. Last night, I asked my work colleagues what the song is. And they told me to ask Mr. Choi to forward me the song as it was his ring tone. LOL! And he did send it to me, and he also forced me to copy 2NE1's Fire as, according to him, it is a "better song by Sandara Park." And the good people in our technical crew even played the music video on TV so…

Being Here
Most of my life, I have been told to act a certain way, do certain things, be someplace I am not sure I want to be in. But I am finally where I want to be, writing. Writing has always been my passion. True, I am a science geek and I love Math more than the average person, but it has always been writing that I have been passionate about. It is the thing that I have always wanted to do. As a kid, I realized that writing my thoughts can affect people, can change things. Yes, I had a messianic complex thing going on. Feeling ko magbabago ang world pag naging manunulat ako. (I felt like the world was gonna change if I become a writer.) But being who I was and wanting to please, I took a different path, one that was well within my skills and capabilities, but obviously one that I wasn't really very much passionate about. But things happened. A complex web of stories of because of this and because of that, from being a webmaster wannabe to professional blogger to gamer to poker enthusiast. All these things contributed to my finally being a writer,…
From 38 to 29
This is another vanity post. KTHNXBAI! People have been giving me great comments on my new look. My new haircut and recent hospitalization plus some new items in my wardrobe has made more people notice how much weight I have lost. People (mga bolero) have been telling me I look younger even if I just celebrated my birthday. My cousin, my Ninang, and my new Diyosa body at a Davao dorm I am very much basking in the glow of these comments as I have been overweight since I was nine years old. Before that I was a skinny kid. Ever since I was in grade three, I have been mocked for being fat. The fact that I don't have a bubbly personality, and I am quite a competitive girl, didn't really earn me a lot of socialization points. In high school and college, although I have mellowed a bit, I didn't have much of a lovelife. I learned how to cook in college, and I my condo was surrounded by fastfood chains and restaurants which led me to gain so much weight that at my fattest I had a 38 (YUS! 38!) waistline, and weighed almost 150 lbs.
