Human Age

A friend recommended this site. It's like Tomagotchi/SIMs. Your character will undergo the process of evolution if you take care of it. I'm still new at this, so I'm really just trying it out. It's hard living in the uncivilized world!
Here's the site below:

By posting this, I get to earn 40 kneecaps! Yey! I now have money to spend.

Kokology Kraze

In our training class, we were supposed to learn about technical stuff, like DNS, TCIP, PING, IPCONFIG, etc...Boring!
But, I'm always looking forward to ice breakers like Brain Benders, charades, Jeopardy, and just recently Kokology!

As per Wikipedia , Kokology is the study of kokoro which in Japanese means "mind" or "spirit". It's a psychological game, that would help you discover yourself.

Here's the first Kokology that we did. Now if you want to answer, remember to write down the first thought that you have and don't think about it too much, this is really a good one:

Deep in the Mountains

The mountains and the sea—nature has a power that draws us to her. After all we are all nature’s children, born into her world and fed on her bounty. No matter what marvels technology may develop, getting back to nature lets us feel truly alive. Medical science may make advances, but the best medicine will always be nature’s own healing power.

Your next journey will take you back to that green world, and what better setting for you to rediscover your natural self?

1. You have set off to climb a mountain, in search of a fabulously rare stone. What is your impression of the mountain as you stand at its foot?

2. After a hard search, you still haven’t found the stone, and now the sun has fallen. What will you do next?

3. You have finally discovered the stone you were seeking. What kind of stone is it? Describe its size, weight, and value.

4. Now it is time to come down from the mountain and return home. What parting words do you have for the mountain, and what is its reply?

Let me know what happened and I'll share my answer to you, too! =D

I Can See Clearly Now by Anne Murray

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)

Sun-Shiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Mai, asked me what my type of songs are when she was trying to decide for a wedding song.
I thought about it and I really don't have a specific genre in mind. But thinking about it, I like the ones with the words "beach", "sun", "sea", "sand", etc.
So, I think most songs of Bob Marley like that, also the Beach Boys... so I think it might be something like Reggae. Yup, that's it... I like Reggae songs, I like the beat of the drums and the happy rhythm. =D
I guess it fits my hopeless optimistic personality.

Why My New Company is Better

I've been very busy the past 2 months. A lot of things happened.
One of those things was that I transferred to a new company called 24/7 Customer in Makati. Yes, I'm back to working in Makati again. The name of the company itself sounds like a convenience store, it was founded by an Indian guy, that's why.

Well, I'm still thankful that I transferred though, here are the top ten reasons why:

1. pay is better! of course.
2. it's a technical support account not customer service.
3. for some weird reason, i like working in Makati.
4. i can be scheduled for a morning shift.
5. my badminton buddy also works there (she was the one who referred me, although she's so busy right now).
6. there are a lot of non-smokers. (unlike in my previous company, 90% are smokers).
7. they have a sports fest (although I really don't have a sport).
8. there are dota players there (yes, i'm addicted).
9. the agents are tenured tech agents, no need for a lot of supervision.
10. they encourage people to take their vacation leaves every month and maintain a work-life balance. =D

I hope I'll be able to build my career in my new company. And also have fun at the same time. =D

Happy 2008!

Coming soon... the video of the countdown and fireworks display in Eastwood.
Here's a low quality video, taken using my Samsung D900i phone of what happened. I guess just search www.youtube.com for a higher quality video...

My first attempt of a video blog :-D

Merry Christmas

It's not really the gifts nor the food nor the Christmas decors that make us feel the Christmas spirit... It's celebrating Christ's birth and knowing how the world changed when he first came to us. It's also renewing ourselves and changing our life for the better.

By the way, I made a "Christmas" chicken adobo for the first time and it tasted great! Thanks to the online recipe of Food Network plus of course I made some modifications (included brown sugar and pineapple chunks). Yummy!
