Gadget Disability

Haaay. What a disappointment. :’(

Boohoo to me. I have a lot of pictures stacked up in my digicam and I just took A LOT of cute pictures of my niece and I can’t even publish them.

My digicam has been showing symptoms that it’ll say ‘bye bye’ soon. It’s LCD display now has black spots in the middle, it’s noticeably noisy when switching on or off, it’s battery cover is broken, and just now, I discovered… it can’t seem be detected by any computer. Thus, I can’t upload the pictures.

(Hey pentax, don’t give up on me just yet. We’ve only had less than 4 years together, we’ve traveled a LOT of places already. Though I am planning to buy a newer one to replace you, we still have a few more travels to go to before I let you retire okay?)

Then there’s option number 2: use the memory card reader of my laptop. There goes frustration number two as well: the memory card reader is NOT WORKING TOO! WHY!? WHY?! WHY?! I really do not know, I’ve got to consult the experts on this. Still, I can’t upload the pictures.

(And you, white laptop, you have no right to emote whatsoever. We’ve only been together for less than 2 years! Okay, I promise to clean you more often. Deal?)

Haaayyyyy :'(

So What Have I Been Up to the Past Weeks?

Hmm, where do I begin… oh, here:
Makati and Everywhere Chapter is soooo… what else but Everywhere!

September 8, 2007:
Dencio’s Ayala Heights Clubhouse. With just one text and there we are. Buti na lang hindi tamad magdrive si Lesley. Hehehe. Love this place, ang scenic rin ng view.

September 14, 2007:
Friday night out at Alchemy! Thank God I live in this RNB era. Literally dancing your night (and ahem, the dawn) away. We left the club at past 4AM. Hehehe.

September 17, 2007:
Tiendesitas! Sino Sikat gig!
The band is playing at Tiendesitas every Monday until October I think. We call this the Monday group. Too bad we didn’t have a camera this day (no thanks to me for telling Ruelo we don’t need a camera anymore since we are already overexposed), we encountered a lot of new and old faces.

September 24, 2007:

Tiendesitas! Sino Sikat gig again. The Monday group reunites. But this time we have prepared. Three SLR cameras were circling the group. Hehehe.

Aside from these, Lesley and I meet up after office almost everyday; we even have this meeting place called “sa puno naten” hahaha! Ang sweet namin noh? We just meet up everyday (with or without dinner) to catch up with each other’s gossips. Hehehe. Since chat is not allowed at her office, we decided to just update each other by flooding our email inboxes with, what else, but more gossip updates!!!

The Makati and Everywhere chapter is really on a roll. We already have planned (and booked!) trips to... “somewhere.” Then after that we also have plans on going to… “somewhere else.” Before that maybe we’ll be going to “this place” which is just nearby “that place.”

Wooohooo!

We’ll post the pictures for sure. ; )

U.P. ROCKS!!!

Oh my gosh! I have A LOT LOT LOT of updates to write on this blog. But those will have to wait, I can't contain this anymore:

U.P. ROCKS!!!

UAAP Cheerdance Competition Champions! Woot woot!!!

The goosebumps, the skipping heart beat, the overwhelming feeling, there wasn't a boring second with that 6 minute cheerdance!

I had no doubt they were the winners! Never mind if I was jumping and shouting (ahem, my parents stood up and clapped too, but with poise though) like a monkey because of so much happiness when they declared the winner.

No offense, but sorry UST (and a lot of other universities), you all got the Edu Manzano retro fever, too bad it didn't look that cool anymore when almost all of the competitors did the same thing!

I hope to find a better video but here you go (found this from youtube):

I sooooooo LOVE U.P.
Oooh-nibersidad ng Pilipinas!!!

Makati and Everywhere Chapter

It all started from my annual college org’s “Meriendahan;” which started decades ago as a simple merienda salu-salo that evolved into a merienda to magdamagan inuman, then just a few years ago, became a buffet dinner inuman-all-u-want variety-show event. This is an annual celebration where the newbies, the applicants, and the oldies (alumni) meet up and mingle over unlimited food and drinks. All in all, we can summarize it in three letters: F-U-N!!!

UP Arki Forum – YOU ARE THE BEST!

The other night, thanks to Globe – connecting people hahaha, most of us oldies met at saGuijo, a small bar in the backstreets of Makati. We wanted to watch Up Dharma Down. Surprisingly, a lot of people showed up, some of them we haven’t even seen years and years ago.

Jupiter, MAKATI @ 7:30 PM

Then again, almost the same set of people, met last night in Makati – this time to go sing our hearts out… videoke! We met at 7:30 PM and had dinner in Makati. We arrived at the videoke bar in Makati at 9:00 PM and left at 11:30 PM! So after a huge bill, we decided it was time to leave videoke but at the same time none wanted to go home just yet. So, not to spoil the momentum, we decided we wanted to go dancing! Nevermind if we were “so not dressed for the occasion.” Hahaha.

The Fort, TAGUIG @ 12:00 AM

Midnight, we headed to the Fort and ended up at Piedra bar. Well, to our surprise, this bar is too high-end for us. No RNB as well. But it was okay, we were all happily drunk anyway, plus Marc Nelson and Borgy Manotoc also was a sight worth seeing (for the boys it was Angel Aquino). As for me, I was confused if it was the beer or my ‘way way past my bedtime’ that was making me fall asleep while dancing. Hihihi.

Metrowalk, ORTIGAS @ 4:00 AM

Around 4:00AM, the bar was officially dead. We wanted to have coffee now. After almost 20 minutes of walking around the area, we still haven’t seen any open coffee shops. So we decided to head to Metrowalk where Starbucks is open 24 hours. To our surprise, the party was still bouncing in Metrowalk at that time! The whole area was jam packed!

It was 5:00 AM, over coffee and some more photos, we decided to call it a night - err, day. We promised ourselves that this was just the start of the resurrection of our night lives.

Party people NO LONGER in the house! Woot woot!

Hence, the ‘Makati and Everywhere Chapter’ of Arki Forum was inaugurated along the streets of the fort on September 1, 2007.
