Okay, so we have crossed-off all the names in turon’s Christmas list and as for me, I’d say I’m halfway there. Yeah we’re happy with that especially since it’s only the third day of December BUT now I’m faced with a huge amount of gifts to wrap! Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy wrapping gifts, it allows my creative side to flow (naks!), but to wrap 60+ gifts??? Man that’s much too much!!! Hay, I just need to get my groove on… hehehe. I need to get the ball rolling, after that, I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to finish all those. Wish me luck!!!

turon and spa
Okay, so what is it with SPAs and why do I love going to them? Thinking back, my first ‘SPA experience’ was way back in Grad School in UPLB no less with Honey (yes, that’s her name and that’s not a pseudo name for Turon). I forgot the name of the place already but even if it was in the suburbs, it was really good and the amenities were complete (steam, sauna, rooms with relaxing scents and Enya music). From then on, I decided that SPAs are going to be one of my favorite places in whole world. Hehehe :)
Since then, I was able to go and ‘try’ different SPA places with my friends… always my friends, never with Turon. Don’t really know why, but no matter how persistent I am in persuading him to go there he does not budge… or so I thought… finally, I was able to convince him to go to one yesterday!!!
Too bad I wasn’t able to take pictures… tsk, tsk, tsk…
We were just talking about SPAs the other night with Derick, Volt, Ivo, Gabz, Jeff, Jam and Mark and how he was a virigin to those establishments. Why he finally succumbed to my request… don’t really know… but it does not matter! Gone are the days of my begging and pleading for us to go there! Hehehe! Now, both of us can enjoy this really great and relaxing activity!
Hooray to SPAs!!!

What's on your desktop?
Tagged by Cel a few days ago, but got so busy with work (busy daw oh!) that I wasn’t able to do it immediately….
So here goes, this is a screenshot of my desktop:
Obviously, I have an Andy Warhol wallpaper… very much like Cel’s... hehehe. I believe we studied and created this 'effect' for our wallpaper at the same time. Shift A girls!!! :)
A few icons on the left… which shows that I do work! Although some folders there are personal such as the ‘Bahay Files’ folder which contains some tracking files on our investment. The colorful icons on the right side are the newest additions to my desktop, a very handy tool for tracking the different time zones all over the world... very useful indeed especially for my OS Patching SPOC role. Moving on to the top, there is an object dock which came from Ced, another practical addition to my desktop… basically those are just shortcuts to the most frequently used applications and folders in my computer. There is an out of place Post-it note though in my desktop… one that was written without my knwoledge by Mcq… (I’m only guessing here but my guess is like 80% sure… hehehe) I will be deleting that once I have posted this blog. :)
The open applications on the taskbar are once again work related… HP OpenView Service Desk, Microsoft Outlook (for my work e-mail) and Mozilla Firefox (to write this very blog)…
There… have I proven to you guys now that I am a hard-working person???
Tagging: Cecil, Tago, Turon and Tin
Rules:
1. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.
2. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of Icons, things like that
3. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop

Redbox the RTCIS way...
Last Sunday, we went to TriNoMa with my RTCIS Teammates and we celebrated there Kuya Roy’s birthday and Papa Jeff’s despedida…
Had a lot of fun, but towards the end, Papa Jeff surprised us with a shocking news… leaving for another country... huhuhu!
We’ll miss you Papa Jeff!
More pictures here.
Yesterday, I was mistaken for a college student!
A 19-year old gal? Whoa!!!
I love my new hair! Wahahahah!

Sleep Thinking
It's 3AM and I’m still awake!
This is not good. Everyone who knows me knows that I am not much of a night person… I stay up late for very special occasions and very important cramming sessions only. Late nights, or should I say dawn brings back sad thoughts and memories to mind. I don’t really know why, but I have somehow associated those during this time of the day. Oftentimes, when I’m alone (or if I don’t know the people I’m riding the car with) in my LNS, sad thoughts keep resurfacing, forcing/bringing me back to ‘those’ days. I try my best to forget about them but sadly they are forever imprinted in my mind.
To divert my thoughts, I just go about my day in my head. Think of the highlights and lowlights of the day that has just gone by. Lately, it seems to be filled with, again, not-so-good thoughts which I have to admit really saddens and affects me. I try not to get affected but in this case, it's just not in my personality. I keep trying to figure out what is happening but I can’t seem to come up with anything. Turon has other thoughts but I refuse to believe him.
Thinking back to the FY07 that was, I am realizing that I really had been busy, a lot has been thrown into my plate (which is a positive thing). For whatever it is that I will be getting, I know in my heart that I deserve it and I won’t let anything or anybody make me feel otherwise. October 2006, if you ask me I will tell you without a moment’s pause that I want to move out… but along the way a lot of things changed, thus affecting my decision. I had been really happy about that… but now… I don’t know… thoughts of resignation have even visited once or twice. It’s just that I feel like I’m trapped and I can’t move…
This thing that I am worrying about is not really work related… or maybe it is… oh, I don’t know.
Stop thinking! I need to go to sleep! Well, I need to go home first… then sleep… but I can’t go home yet… so I can’t sleep yet…
Hay naku! In Mcq’s words… My mind is so sabog!

best of the best
Walang kokontra!
Here it is… finally, Cel was able to convert it from 1Gb to 30-something MB.
About it:
Used 3 applications:
- Adobe Photoshop CS
- SWiSHmax
- Sony Vegas Movie Studio 4.0
Made it for the AMG-DME offsite, as the RTCIS Team Video. Love! Love! Loves it! :)

chef frey
In the effort of trying to save up, turon and I have been having home cooked dinners at our house every weekend instead of dining out… Look at what I made last night…
Cel cooked asparagus for our lunch a while back which I loved, so I decided to give it a try and cook an asparagus dish myself. For him on the other hand, I made Pork Tenderloin Cajun Steak… :)
Home cooked meals are love!
