My Choco Java Chip (edited)

It was the 50th Birthday of my Aunt and they celebrated it by the bay in Mall of Asia. It was like a "Dampa" style setting with a nearby seafood market and a restaurant called Huey Ying. Damn the seafood was flowing!!! It was funny because right after I was full all of the Tempura's just came...waaaa!!! hahaha. It was awesome. I was very full and it was the first time in a long time that me and my bud-cousin had a talk :)


After dinner I met Shen at the Mall of Asia and we walked for a while then decided to stop by Starbucks.


Leo: Shen, what would you recommend that I drink that has lots of ice in it and a little coffee?
Shen: Why don't you try the Choco Java Chip?
Leo: Done and done!


This Choco Java Chip will forever be remembered! Hey Shen, wan't to treat me some Choco Java Chip in Starbucks? hahaha

Forgot to add that I bought two new shoes...haha I'm like a girl LOL! one Nike Free and an Adidas sneakers :)

My father and brother's theory...

While we were eating some snacks earlier I told my dad that I was going to have my hair cut either today or tomorrow...my brother who heard the conversation suddenly said "sabi sayo tama ang theory natin eh"...feeling left out of the loop, I asked them "what theory" and they kept on laughing and laughing...then I went to my sister and asked her about the theory...she said nothing haha...so what is the theory? Can some of you guess with me? haha

I think it has something to do with this...

From this (July 2008)















to this (Aug 29, 2008):















So what is your theory? haha

My week of no sleep...

What a freakin' week following my long weekend in Batangas. My week of no sleep started when we came home from Batangas (of course) where I had to go to work the next morning at 4:00 AM. It was alright as the workload was light but after that, I went to Shen's place coz yeah we missed each other (haha cheesy) went home then work again the next day and went home at 1:00 PM then straight to sleep because I had to go to work again at 9:00 PM the same day! FTW! Yep. It's because my co-worker (Jesus/Jero) is on vacation leave. He is in his hometown of Palawan.

When I arrived at the office, my immediate supervisor and the people at work were wondering why I am early haha and if I got some sleep haha...yeah I did for about 4 hours LOL! that's when my body clock got screwed up. After my shift I went on to visit Shen at her place where she was late for about an hour hahaha then went back to see her before going to work and hence after that shift I am back here at home...I miss my bed...I miss my computer...I miss my home...and now...SLEEP!!!

Eraserheads concert tomorrow! WOOT!!! one of the best band's in the world! I hope they don't screw this one up. I won't be able to watch :(

Also up for tomorrow...my haircut!!! waaaaaaa....hahaha!!!

My delayed vacation...

BSBSucat Munting Buhangin Aug 2008
Leo - John - Carla - Fran - Vince - Gab - Pat - Manuel - George - Dan - Daniel

"The best outing ever?" haha! Could be! It was the vacation I missed this past summer break mainly because of my work. Thanks to the August birthday boys! I can say, it was the best! It would even be better if we were complete. So next time! people who said they will come and then back out...time to change that habit!!! haha


Driving there was fun. Finally I was refreshed on how to go to Tagaytay ang Batangas. Hey Shenpot, wanna go to Tagaytay or Batangas? haha! Fran took me to this shortcut when going to Tagaytay which when I got home and talked to my dad about it, I realized that I have gone in that direction lots of times haha. Memory gap!? LOL! it is a short drive that I think will cost Php 2000 gas/diesel and toll roundtrip.


So we arrived at Munting Buhangin. Very good place in my idea because the place is big and the rooms are great. One good thing going there last weekend was that there isn't much people so the beach is not crowded at all. I wonder what it looks like when it is peak season. That part of Batangas has a small shoreline so it might be jampacked when it is summertime. Ohwell, the place is still great.


First drinking session. What a night! haha...can't say the juicy details but it was a fun round of hot seat. Second drinking session by the beach was nostalgic. It was all about reminiscing the good old college days hahaha.


What I really really enjoyed about my stay there is aside from being with my buddies, I also got the chance to be alone and be at peace. Away from work, away from the noise, away from the pollution and away from my problems (if there are any haha). With my body clock still on nighshift mode, I usually sneak out onto the beach every 6:00 am in the morning...cold morning breeze on my face, the sound of birds chirping and the waves splashing...then on the second night while everyone was on PSP mode, I wen't down again to the beach alone for some senti-time hahaha. I love those moments when you are at peace and thinking of nothing. So I pulled a chair and watched the thunderstorms somewhere on my north. It was the first time I could watch a thunderstorm from a far. It was awesome. Then they went down and stayed with me then we had our second drinking session by the beach.


We also went to this small island which had a small shore where we took some pictures. Then the guys thought it would be cool to climb that island and so we did. The view from above was priceless!!! It was then I realized that I could never ever jump from a cliff to the sea haha. So while going down the island on this rocky steep side of the island, I was traversing the path we took to go up while holding on to the rocks on my right and looking down the rocky cliff of death on my left when I held on to this rock that was freaking loose haha...it fell off! luckily my center of balance was still in the middle or I would have dropped off the cliff of death haha...but that freakin rock hit me on the side and hence, my first accident! LOL!...close call to death I might say. Since I mentioned the first accident, it is only obvious that there is a second one haha. Yes, while we were (I mean they were) snorkling near former President Ramos' Tony Stark look alike resthouse, I was on the other side of the boat just floating and hovering on the side while my right foot struck a big coral...OUCH!!! haha...when I got on the boat again, it was bleeding LOL! second accident. Luckily that was it! hahaha


Batangas was fun. How I wish I shared those moments with Shenpot :)

My music, movies and mems

Finally got back my other 2G kit of Corsair Dominators mems. 4G of RAM again. It is working well...I hope it won't fail me again haha...


I also got my Logitech x540's and I think it was a mistake to buy it! Transaction went fine but what happened next is the hidden problem. My on board audio was busted. Damn! So I had a pretty nasty decision to make.
1. RMA the board (which will take forever haha plus I wont have any computer at home coz of course, its the motherboard) or;
2. Try to clean and fix the on board audio.
3. Buy a soundcard (which costs a lot FTW!!!)
4. Buy a cheap soundcard (haha!!!)


#1 is out because it will take forever! LOL! #2 I tried to, but nothing worked. #4 Why buy an old cheap soundcard when I can buy the new ones. Plus it might not be compatible anymore to Windows Vista as these old soundcards were manufactured year 2004-2005 haha. So I was left with #3...hahaha damn these sound cards costs a lot!!! so I bought a X-Fi Extreme Audio PCIe (which was the last one on stock) haha. Auzen X-plosion was phased out. The next available model of soundcard costs a whopping Php 11,000!!! haha no way. So I installed the soundcard and set up the speakers and wow!!! worth every peso! haha...but I'm still not happy that I got to buy something that I wasn't expecting to buy! hopefully I'll forget about it and be happy with the sounds that I am getting from my music and movies.


I am Batangas bound! See you all tomorrow!!! Safe trip for us!!!


Shen & Leo scoreboard:

My McDonalds massacre

I love McDonalds but what happened to me sucks!!!

So we ate breakfast at McDonalds and I bought 2x orange juice and one large fries. Total bill = P122!!! What the F-in Hell!??? 2 drinks and a large fries for P122!? The I found out that one 17oz orange juice costs P40!!! WTF!!! how can that cost P40 right!? and that's not the end of it. I remember buying those small gravy that they include in their chicken @ P3.00 each. Then it went up to P5.00. Okay, still acceptable but just recently, it increased to a freakin P10!!! WTF again!!! That small gravy costs P10!? seriously they are full of crap these days...haha


X-Files = crap.
Don't watch it. haha


It was a very special weekend for me. I was/am really really happy. I will remember this day...for today is...nah...that line is so cliche haha

8-17-08 :)

My sleep deprivation...

It has been a very busy busy week with not much hours of sleep haha.

So I took my dad last Tuesday to the movie house so that he can watch the Dark Knight. He has not seen it and I told him that it is slowly making Titanic sink as the best grossing movie of all time and it is one movie that is really awesome to see on the big screen. So it was my treat. I remember those days when we were kids that weekends were the movie day's where we would buy cheese flavored Kornets, ride the jeepney to Ali Mall and watch a movie there with my brother and father. This time, it was me who was taking my dad to the movies. Time to repay him haha and we haven't talked/bonded in a long time so it was long overdue also. I know he loved the movie. He was speechless haha. Watching it again is never tiresome. It is truely an awesome film. Slowly beating the LOTR: ROTK as my favorite movie of all time but not quite yet...


So, watched a movie last Tuesday with 5 hours of sleep before going to work and now yesterday...I was with Shen and well...we did not get enough sleep (she didn't haha) Ended up arriving home at aroung 12 midnight and going to work at 3am hahaha and now what happened? Shen is probably snoring, sleep talking and walking in her condo and I blogging while half asleep since 5am haha...30 mins to go. Then I'm going home to get some sleep...


yaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn....

Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart! y'know who you are :)

Olympics!!!

Where the best of the best meet to prove who is the best in the world. Good luck to team Philippines!!! C'mon at least a silver medal please! If Manny would just be allowed to compete, he surely could win the gold for us. Good luck also to USA Basketball, I hope they win the gold LOL! (they still won't beat the original dream team). Other exciting games to watch? swimming and track and field! Always have been a fan of this games because it is sheer talent and brilliance that makes one a winner. Who will shine the brightest? we will see!


Gotta go gotta go! going to Eastwood with the first timer Shen hahaha!

My self being a Parawhore

I borrowed the term from my friend Jonard coz its just too cool..."Para-whore" haha

So my favorite morning radio show gave a surprise to me and all the Parawhore's out there. Mo interviewed Hayley Williams and damn! she really is hot! haha...too bad she has a boyfriend from another band which incidentally is having a concert here. I forgot which band it was. No news about whether or not they will be going here but I do hope so!!!


Lasallians, c'mon ang let us unite and save AGNO! How dare these EGI resto's complain about business competition from AGNO!? they were there first so duh!!! haha

My long birthday weekend part 3

Wow!!! the longest weekend birthday. No work no worries all good all fun!!! haha

So I went with Shen to watch the DLSU vs UE game last Saturday. It was the first game again that I have seen since those college days of mine. I told Shen to take a bath and clean every bit of bad luck before we went to the game and what do ya know...first I told her I'm for Adamson, UP won. Then in the first few minutes of the game, Atkins goes down (I do hope he is alright. His injury looks very serious) a few more minutes passed, Batricevik goes down re-injuring his ACL. During the 3rd and 4th quarters, Mangahas and Maierhoffer goes down with ankle and knee sprains. WTH Shen!? hahaha. Its certainly not me because I watch DLSU games...LOL! but it's all good. I enjoyed the game with her. Thanks Shen! ADMU vs DLSU? haha


Sidenote: Why does the UE community cheer when someone gets injured? What kind of freakin' people do they come up with?


So after the game we went to Trinoma and ate at Bigoli (like Fazoli haha) then went on through the night :D :D :D


Sunday comes and after the mass we ate in Chili's. I was expecting some hot and spicy food but it turned out to be a burgoo/friday's kind of resto. I really thought they were serving up very spicy kind of mexican food...but no! haha...


The rain is pouring and I have to go to work in the morning...boo!!! haha

My long birthday weekend part 2
