I.T. show BB 9700

shift starts: 9AM
shifts end: 6PM

after work i go directly to suntec convention center to see the i.t. show.
all the people walking along, have bought something from the show.
as i reached the place, it was so crowded and there were people going here and there
all the electronic products were everywhere. from laptop to tv's, camera to video cam. cellpone and ipad. You name it and you have it.

as i look around on each stall, different gadgets to prices and offers.

i went insdie the Singtel booth and was checking around Blackberry.
coz im really obsessed on it. at the same time there was some auction going on as part of their promo.



I was really waiting for a blackberry auction to see weather if there was any good deals. a few auctions has been made. but stil no sign for BB. so i decided to leave the place. as i walk towards the door. the next phone for auction was about to be announced. then before i reach the doorsteps. Blackberry was announced. So I immediately turn my back and went to the crowd place where the auction is being held.
the auction started for the amount of $160, and it goes up as people give their bids.
it reached around $230 when i decided to bid for 240. then other people still bid.
then i tried to bid for one more. then host said. "going once, going twice", thn fortunately, I got the BID.. so i got the BB 9700


i got the phone for $358. brand new and no contract.
I was so happy, coz i know this is a best buy.
actually i have no idea how it looks like idont even know whats the color. coz they have only shown the box.

As i open the box. i was really suprised. coz i was expecting black color. but i was wrong., it was a white BB and that was i'm aiming for and thats really made me very happy. so I went back with a good smile on my face.

I am writing this blog for my dearest people who have touches my life
specially my friends and family.
I hope somehow, or one way or another i have contributed something good
until my last day here on earth.

Life is full of surprises and uncertainties.
We'll never know what will happen in a few seconds or glimpse ahead.
but one thing for sure I know.. that I am truly blesses and still being blessed.

for all the things i had and experiences, all good and bad.
God always be there at my side.

I'm so thankful for letting me experience how to live life here on earth
if im not, I dont know how to be human.
Thank you, for all the hardship and sorrows,
if I havent experience it, I dont know how to be strong.
thank you lord for choosing me the right family to be with.
though its not perfect, I wont have it change to anyone else.

for all of my shortcomings and tress-passes my you all forgive me.
As i leave this world in a few months or years from now, I still know
I'll be in a better place.

saying Goodbye is the hardest thing to do.
to let go of someone or something that means so much to you.
Goodbye to my dearest and loving family, i wall miss u all
especially when there are occasions and we are united.
Goodbye to all my bestfriends and friends, you are all an angels sent from above.

I dont want to leave, I stil have a lot of hope and dreams
not only for me. but for everyone. Im not sure if I'll be able to
achieve it. but still im praying and hoping that ill be able to do it.
to my dearest brother and sister, do take care and look for each other.
I may not be physically around, but I'll always be there to guide you.


you might be asking why am I writing this.
someday you will understand.

and if my times comes. may the Lord accepts me to heaven.

I love you all!

Almost lover

a wonderful sad song.. that makes it my favorite song right now..
it has a sad ending though its really touching.

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind, images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes, clever trick

Well, I?d never want to see you unhappy
I thought you?d want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me in the shade
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you would never ever forget these images, no

Well, I?d never want to see you unhappy
I thought you?d want the same for me
[- From :http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/a-fine-frenzy-lyrics/almost-lover-lyrics.html -]

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot try the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind

So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy to walk
Right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Why can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I'm on the train now. listening to a podcast from victory. and made
me realize that I can also blog with all the blessings that I'm receiving.
I can say that this year is a blessings for me, though there are some big obstacles. I do believe that God has a better plans for me.. and he is my saving grace . this year I also knew that I am sick. and I could say that I am still bless and I will be healed. God is always in charge. and may God forgive me for all of my shortcomings.

I love Jesus!!

2nd chances.. new work ^^

before i go to sleep..

I decided to blog my career here in Singapore..
I arrived this year in Singapore last March 19, 2011
I had already resigned in JP Morgan Chase Bank, for me to give my full time in finding a job here in Singapore.
and luckily my dream company had a mass hiring,
so we have a common friend working there, and asked for me to be reffered.
after a week, i received a call and schedule for an exam.
after a week again i receivd a call that I passed the exam, and have a final interview and a mock call.

it was a long process, after all the waiting and prayers. finally everything is an answered prayers. I passed and was hired eventually..


I owed everything to all the people who believed and prayed for me. and most especially to the lord God above. ^^


now its my 4th day of training in DBS (Development Bank of Singapore)

I believe everything will be fine. and we're all going to pass it :)

pictures coming soon.. ^^

flash back some random memories (NOVEMBER 2010)

what i remember is that when i went here in Singapore last Nov 13, 2010
with my good friend tetey.. ( i'll just post some random pix as well )


Tetey on boarding :)

some random pics on the plane ^^




we arrived like 7pm in the evening at Changi airport, and we decided to take a train from Changi to Toa Payoh mrt station.


@ Changi MRT station..

same evening after reaching our house in toa payoh we decided to go to Orchard
and have dinner @ food republic in Wisma Astria.
I was so disappointed with my first dinner, coz i was ordering a haianese chicken rice, but I was given a duck rice, which i dont really like..



WISMA



DUCK rice -- eeeewww LOL! i was decieved.. haha

after dinner we went to a bus terminal were we bought a ticket going to Kuala Lumpur.
We were able to get ticket for 12 mid night. so we just go back to Toa payoh and fixed our things.

We travelled from 12mn to 5am to KL a 5 hours land travel. i just slept the whole evening.. Im a bit nervous because its been like more than a year from the last time I went to KL, so i was trying to familiarize the place I've been before, and since its 5 am. its still dark its hard for me to remember. So what happen, we alighted at the bus terminal itself, which we were surprised because the terminal is very quiet( unlike in the Philippines, when u say bus terminal. it should be a bit crowded depending on the season, a lot of people selling foods and stuff.)so no people at all, except for some taxi driver waiting for passengers. its quite scarey coz there are some dark alleys and places, where the buses are being parked.
And the bad news is we forgot to exchange our $ingapore dollar to Malaysian Ringgit. So we need first to find a money changer in order for us to ride a cab or buy some food.

So we decided to stay at the terminal and seated on one of the bench there, and unfortunately, there are a lot of mosquitos biting me.. grrrr!!! so we stayed there for an hour, until sunrise.

when the sun is coming up.. we decided to walk and find the busy street or somewhere any market around and to find a Money changer.. luckily the terminal itself is not that far from the city area or i could say market district. however its sunday morning, so most of the shops are closed as well as the money changers. There were like 10 money changers around the area, and all of them are closed. So we felt hopeless despite that were getting hungry and tired from walking.


to be continue .......

it's been a long time

it's been a looong time from my last
blog.. a lot of things already happen. I'll try my best to catch up and post some pix...
I'm currently now back here in singapore. and now working fortunately . thank God for the opportunity again.
it's been like 9 months have passed.
a Lot of good and bad things happen ..

hopefully with my schedule now I could still find a time to blog..

for now. I really need to sleep early.
it's been like. a few days I only got 3 hrs of sleep..

good. night and God bless 

UAAP season 73

Finally its UAAP Cheer dance competition. This is one of my most awaited event of the year. wherein 8 schools are together in one place which is at the BIG DOME (Araneta Coliseum) Schools like University of the Philippines (UP), Far Eastern University (FEU), University of Santo Thomas (UST), Adamson University (Adu), Ateneo de Manila (ADMU), De Lasalle University (DLSU), University of the East (UE), and National University (NU) will competing to each other.

unfortunately there are some unforeseen events that may arise, its like 2pm already, I'm still waiting for my housemate Tetey at the Starbucks. while each every second counts, I'm starting to lose my temper, co'z any moment the competition will start.



Tetey arrive around 3pm.. we missed 3 schools already haist (sigh):( I was very upset. aside that we bought the ticket which cost us 300php ($10sgd) each for Gen Admission ticket (60php ONLY)($2sgd)


The feeling of being there and seeing the countless crowd is very priceless. is like uniting the schools and number of people (22,000 approximately)that filled the big dome. its Ateneo Pep squad already when we reach the gen ad entrance. we barely see them coz there are lots of crowd in front of us.. so we need to go higher for us too see the whole performance.

Hearing all the cheers and the performance of the rest of school give me some chills. my temper was change into excitement, expecting new dance move and stunts from each promising schools.

UP won the Grand Champion, FEU is the first place and UST is the second place. for me they're all deserving it was breathtaking and very entertaining..

some pix of each schools.
Adamson University




De Lasalle Univerisity



Far Eastern University




Ateneo de Manila University



University of the Philippines Viva UP!




University of Santo Thomas



University of the east



National University











after the cheerdance me and Tetey went to Glorieta and had dinner in President's

old Manila 1960's reminiscing the past

I received an email from Mickey(my colleague) about some old pictures of Manila year 1960's and I was surprised, its really different from today, this is my first time seeing this kind of pictures. I've been staring with this pictures every now and then, the feeling of reminiscing the past looking back at the old times is very unstressful. Imagining Manila right before its way way more beautiful than today. How sad that my countrymen wasnt able to preserve the beauty of our birthplace.

The environment was still very clean, Based on the old mobiles, Studebakers, Buicks & Pontiacs.There were no Metro Aides, Bayani Fernando Cleaners, and stores cleaned their areas. Pedestrians were also very disciplined. Very little “hukays” and
Manholes were clean and were clearly visible to pedestrians. People were so disciplined. Take a look at the Pedxings. The streets were shiny, much like the streets of Singapore now.




1953 Ford on the street going through Jones Bridge leading to Binondo...(photo above)


LYRIC Theatre (in the photo below), IDEAL, STATE, ODEON were the best theatres. Environment inside and outside ....absolutely clean. There were no
double parking allowed and drivers followed. Streets didn’t have 2 policemen and 4 Traffic Aides for each corner. You’d be safe even if you held a clutch
bag while shopping. Manholes were covered well and during those days,..as clean and polished, much like those you’d see in Champ
Elysee’. We could beat Paris





Pasig River was very clean.(photo above) The photographer must have taken this photo October to December timeframe. But Pasig , during summer would have
beautiful water lilies, tiny Quiapo’s floating amidst white, yellow and purple water lilies. Water from our rich and abundant rivers were emerald green and blue. Napakalinis and walang amoy. In fact, I know for a fact that a lot of private yachts would pass through our Pasig River from various parts of Rizal, Malabon and Marikina It was beautiful.



Shown is the old Agrifina Circle near the old Congress Building and Manila City Hall ..



If you’d take an L5 plane or a Piper Cab and take pictures of Dewey Boulevard (now Roxas Boulevard) from above, you’d be so proud to say, that the place
is much better than Cote ’ d Azure. Environment was just so very clean, air was refreshing, and take a look at the sea....wasn’t that a gift given to us during those days?!


Sidewalks were not extended to suit the pedestrians. Quiapo Church was a blessed monument, Nagbibigayan ang mga drivers. Bihira ang nag-gigitgitan.


Avenida Rizal was a treat to everyone. There were no prostitutes nor body-brokers. Avenida was not a fickle place. It was not a “now a bistro boulevard,
tomorrow a street; now a tiangge or night market and tomorrow a bistro boulevard”. It was a simple avenida where everyone enjoyed to see what was
“now showing”, what movie was “extended showing”, and if Otis or Good Earth had a big sale !!! It was just a big clean place.


1960 Dodge on the street.
Ayala Avenue in Makati City was just like Wilshire Boulevard . Clean and no pollution. You can walk and enjoy the sun. Napakalinis. Walang masyadong Trash bins pero walang basura sa paligid, walang smoke belchers, walang tricycles ....
