Window Shopping at Deals Direct
My newly acquired digital camera gave up on me just after a few weeks of using it. So now I hardly have the chance to practice my craft of photography. I’ve search all possible places here in Manila to fix the darn thing but I realize it will be more practical compared to buy a new one.
So I went online to look for the best deals for DSLR’s and I also needed to look for digital radios online for my mom anyway so that’s 2 birds in one stone. I luckily found the things I need at Deals direct. Deals direct has everything that I need when it comes to electronic gadgets and cameras.
I know there are many other sites similar to this but this is the first site that was recommended by my friends in the blogging industry. I really feel relieve knowing that there are still quality sites like this and I highly recommend it to you guys who also likes a very good deal especially when it comes gadgets and appliances.
Accident in a Gawad Kalinga of Telus
I was in Gawad Kalinga yesterday doing charity work like the usual things I do to help the needy like building/ painting a house or cementing of the walls. Going back, me and my batch mates were assign in moving hollow blocks, it was one of the chores that we can only do to help besides from cementing, painting and hammering. For us it was really a lite job, passing one hollow block to another, we can even afford to pose and smile in pictures now and then when the photographer asks us to, hehe neat right?
Me and my best buddy was the first one on-line, our basic task was just grab the blocks then pass it to the person behind us, it was just a simple chore that even a 5th grader can do, the trick was just finish the first column then on with the next one. It was really like child’s play for us but for some reason a faith played tricks on me in my most unexpected situations.
In my case, it was the moment when I bended to pick up the last block on the floor when suddenly, two blocks fell off to my head and break. Everyone was surprise that time including me, it was so unexpected the only thing that I was able to do is stare at him hoping that he’ll tell me what just happend. I looked at my other friend’s face as they run towards my direction when all of a sudden, my world starts to spin then blacked out. I didn’t see stars that time but I can hear them panicing. I felt their hands brushing against my hair and my back and no later than 2 seconds, I was able to open my eyes then stand as if nothing bad happend, but seriously that moment, it was all question marks running over my head. Ahehe what an awkward moment, then my manager walk me to the first aide and ask me to rest until the charity event finishes, they said they’ve been doing this for quite sometime and it was the first time that they had a casualty.
It was really a something that time but at the end of the day we ended up celebrating the success of our advocacy for the day, it was tiring indeed but for sure everyone felt fulfilled. I also thank god for assuring that I was not hurt badly in the accident, I didn’t know that god had an appointment with me that time, but still thank you my lord for that reality check you just gave me. It was all fun and laughter helping out the needy but I’m not sure if they will still feel the same the next day once their muscles starts to ache hehe.
Blogger’s Blowout Best Giveaway Ever!
I got a blue ray copy of my favorite movie in Orange Magazine TV and Astroplus’s 1st BLOGGERS’ BLOWOUT at Astrovision store in Greenbelt 5, Ayala last september 3. Thank you so much Orange Magazine TV for this early christmas gift I really appreciate it specially to the major sponsors of the event. I’m in the Movies category that started a little behind schedule but it’s okay, they’re already serving food to keep me calm and busy hehehe.
I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence or it’s a great timing because earlier that day, me and my trainers were talking about the ending of Resident Evil: afterlife franchise. During the middle of last part of the credits there was a brief video clip showing a new villain leading a swarm of helicopter into battle against Milla Jovovich and her team. I later realize that it was ex-STAR member Jill Valentines (Actress Sienna Guillory) under the control of the spider, at first I didn’t believe my trainers that it was her cause she was blonde and Jill was a brunet in second franchise but who cares! the story is getting better and better, rumors say that the RE5 will be revolving to fan’s feedback and tweets and they will try to include other characters from the videogame. I really can’t say much now cause everything are still rumors but definitely actress Sienna G. already tweeted that she already started training for RE5.
And with all of this, I want to return my very big thanks and gratitude to to Astroplus / Astrovision especially to Ms. Katherine Choy and Mr. Jimmy Lim for partnering with Orange Magazine TV for this event. without you guys, I wouldn’t have a Blue Ray copy of my favorite movie!
Hanging out with Mr Jeman V.
It was the late evening of Tuesday when Jeman of Orange Magazine TV posted in the FB group wall. As always, I’ll read the requirements first before signing up, good thing thou that the requirements was just a professional camera only. So I signed up without hopes that I’ll be the chosen one (haha what a word), After few minutes, Jeman pinged me, asking if I’m available by tomorrow’s event, I instantly replied yes then asked for the details. He said it will start in the morning that’s why I was cool with it until I saw the duration of the event, O-Ow, I think I’m gonna be sleeping again in my training hehe. I already said yes and I’m not going to take it back hehe! Jeman is Jeman, I don’t know the guy that long but for sure his events are that ostentatious to be respected by other bloggers.
In preparation to that, I pulled out my battery packs for my Olympus e520 and started charging them all at the same time, I’ve picked up a comfortable jeans and a neat of top to partner it with, and let’s not forget my trusted back pack that contains my pentel pen and handy dandy notebook (for taking down notes just incase)
It was almost 2 that time and forsure it’s going to be a long day for me that’s why I sneaked in to my bed afterwards.
It’s already pass seven in the morning and I’m already on my way to Ocean Park, I know I’ll be too early but you can never be too sure what lies ahead. So, I was waiting at the bus station when he sms me that the schedule will be move one hour late, i felt relieve and happy cause I can relax much when I travel, it’s better than being late (tsk, tsk). 10AM came and the event started, I was starstruck with all the candidates, there was ms Cory Quirino (host of The good life with Cory Quirino), Dr. Eric T (head manager of Zenyu Eco Spa) and lastly all the gorgeous candidates of Ms. World. My bet is candidate #1 and candidate#16.
We had a tour in the Hotel H2o, which by the way I highly recommend for everyone especially for health lovers because of their negative ION. Going back, Dr. Eric toured us together with the candidates inside the aquarium hotel, the Oceanarium which is really amazing, I never thought that it can be that beautiful compared to my other experience in Singapore , and lastly my favorite part was lunch, it’s not because I get to eat all the food that I want but it’s because I had a small talk with Jeman. At first, I thought Jeman was a snobbish guy (peace!) but I was wrong! (I’m not but kissing guys, hehe) he was a down to earthguy he even shared me his experiences when he was starting as a blogger. One thing that sink into my mind is, always put a personal touch when you blog, don’t let yourself enjoy so much in events cause if you do, your identity as a blogger fades away. Touching isn’t it? but it’s true. Lately I’ve been attending so much events that my body couldn’t even handle, I’m getting chills and fever that’s why I stopped signing up for events and rested for a week instead. Now, that I’m feeling a little better. It’s time to trackdown back logs. Sorry boss! Je! I know I haven’t posted this past few weeks! but I’ll make it up to you!
Overcome Bulimia
Having knowledge about nursing is fun, you understand when doctors and nurses talk when they’re doing there rounds the hospital. My favorite part in nursing is psych that majorly talks about mental health and mental disorders, moreover I learn and was able to recognize correctly what I have suffered ever since I was High School. No one knows in my family and friends that I had bulimia, it was hard every time I wake in the morning, I see an ugly fat boy but the truth is i was just 110lbs that time (ow! that image was so disturbing, I can still remember it until now), it’s really terrifying but it’s okay, I’m already over it before I even step in my senior years in college. It was really a tough battle and my concerned friends had a hard time monitoring my weight when I throw tantrums, I remember that they even spend 2 hours with me during meal time to prevent me from binge eating and purging. It was really though but definitely it worked, my therapy lasted for almost a semester but I was happy with the outcome.
Today, I’m proud to say that I’m already running at 140lbs and just sweating those unwanted pounds off this body and not considering purging as an option to lose weight. I hope my story inspired you or anyone out there who has suffered the same and the only advice that I can give you is accepting that there is really a problem will always be the first step in finding a solution to that problem.
Zero acne face before working
I just signed another contract with Telus (A BPO company that provides internet connection in Canada) and the enthusiasm that I have faded away into so-so ambivalence. Finding out that I’ll be assigned in Telus Araneta, which I’m more nearer compared to Telus Taguig, is a little dramatic but convenient for me at the same time, the reason why I’m feeling this way is because of my previous ex-partner who I shared my life for three years also works in that building and i’m not ready yet to see her this soon, Arghhhh! what a very frustrating, chaotic situation this is. I think because of this, my body started to grow microcomedones more commonly know as zits, acne, and pimples. The last time I remember I had these things crawling all over my face and my back is way back in high school but in college I rarely encounter them. Having zits is really a problem, it’s a good thing that the derm clinic I patronize is still open until now 8 in the evening. Not only it’s open in my convenient hours, it’s also still affordable, will you believe the, extraction, the massage, the check ups and the laser plus the cream that closes the pores only cost me 250php all in all, amazing isn’t it?
I can now secure a zero-acne face whenever I go to the office or having those unexpected encounter with your ex haha! just kidding, but yeah! I mean it that way, I’ll show her what she’s missing after breaking up with me haha!

Gaga’s Latest single
Last August 16, Gaga’s latest video for You and I was release in Youtube and already reached a whooping 5.1 million views in just 3 days! (Awesome!) Now, we all know that Lady Gaga is best in expressing herself through her videos, right? I did a little research using my best friend Mr. G. (Google) and this is what I’ve found out. The guy sitting on top of the piano is Gaga’s male alter ego, Jo Calderone and the mermaid is Yuyi, who was first seen when Gaga performed Edge of Glory on Le Grand Journal.
I’ve included Gaga’s latest video, so enjoy!
My High School Reunion

Last August 13, a High school reunion planned by my friends was recently held in Sky Garden SM city North Edsa that started exactly at 6PM (parang hinde rin). I arrive there 2 hours late because of earlier’s event but not so late to miss everyone. As expected, only a dozen who confirmed was there but it’s okay, we understand that they already have their own commitments but still we had a blast partying till dawn, too bad for the others who didn’t even bother passing. O’well these are just the few things that they’d missed besides from rare bonding opportunities with their high school bff’s.
A nice bucket of refreshing pre-mixed alcohol beverage brought to you by my favorite drink “Tanduay Ice!”
The awesome yet very expensive sweetcorn of Padis! (O’boy! I sure miss this street food, I remember every after class, me and Crisel G. will buy this after eating spaghetti in the Whitehouse, a local cafeteria near my school.)

The soaring tower of the triple-decker consisting of Nachos, cheese and tomato dip on top, the very hot cheese sticks in the middle (which by the way, we sold in the campus when we were still freshman) and lastly on the lowest deck is the chicken wings, which has the heaviest calories of the three hehe!

Crackers that lasted only for a few seconds hehe, gone with the wind!
A drinking session wont be a drinking session if you don’t have one of these:

Like any other case study, group project, or class report, there will always be sleep over in the class of Molave. (Okay guys, strike a pose! hey Ericka, you’re facing the wrong way, Jev, how could you, that’s my spot!)
It was sure fun spending time again with them, though it has been awhile since we all spend time like this, the joy and laughter, gossips and the heartbreak will always be treasured in my heart and remember them as part of the life’s lessons learned.
P.S. click here for more photos of my high school reunion
Who can that be?
I was on my way to the Intellicare Clinic inside the Institute of Radiology of St. Lukes Global when this guy stopped me. People were already piling up and I see every single person besides from the doctors were seized from crossing towards the radiology department. Now, who can his boss be? or why is he stopping everyone from going to the elevator?, I wonder, then it hit me, OMG! I think his one of the Arroyos personal body guards but where can former President could be? (will it be a presidential’s suite or the ambassador’s suite?) Probably a family member or Arroyo’s husband, Jose Miguel is there paying their bills but whoever he or she might be, Dang! they must be that soooper controversial.
P.S. I was lucky to snap this photo of him after deciding to use the 2 sided door elevator. Sneaky right? hehe
