World Class Lube?

Anyone fancy these keychains? Lol! Looks like oil companies are getting witty these days.

I like to make myself believe...

Can't get this stupid song out of my head!

Fireflies - Owl City
I like to make myself believe

that planet earth turns slowly.

it's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

cause everything is never as it seems.

Margarita In-A-Tub

It's the first time I've tasted instant margaritas and it's delicious!!! Just add water, a bottle of tequila, and freeze! So convenient and yummy! =)

These "Original Frozen Fiestas" (they also have Mojitos) can be bought in Karl Edward's bazaars or in Metro Walk.

All Saint's Day

All Saint’s Day or Undas in Filipino, is one of the holidays where missing it is “frowned upon” by our entire clan. I don’t really know the normal tradition on how this holiday is celebrated since ever since, my memory of undas is a combination of a little fiesta and a reunion. And this year was no exception.

Lunch would be extended until 2 pm because of the many choices from KFC chicken to fried hito (catfish). Merienda would be a choice of cheese pimiento or chicken sandwich, all home-made. Yum! I think I gained another 2 or 3 pounds just from this weekend.

What I find funny about our tradition is, we stay until nighttime, just before dinner time, which is exactly the time when the dads and uncles are about to finish their scotch or whisky. =P While others pride themselves in going to the cemetery just to grieve for their loved ones and are not even allowed to laugh out loud (yes, I know some families), we, on the other hand, celebrate togetherness and the short time we have to catch up on the lives of our other relatives.

Alas, I left my socializing skills in the house this year. I was a lonely boy, playing with his sister’s Nintendo DS. =) There’s always next year.

"Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.

And let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace.

Amen."

Hug

Sometimes all we need is a hug =)

Delete!

It wasn't a typical Friday morning for the P&G Planning Team as we were greeted this morning by the Auditing Team from P&G. Feelings of shock, surprise, and irritation ran through everyone because of the added last minute task.

But upon deleting all the e-mails, all the ex-client-related files and folders, it was actually therapeutic, with a feeling of "Yes, it's all finally over!"

So after our usual long Friday lunch, we're back in the office doing absolutely nothing work-related.

Looking forward to a great party tonight and a peaceful weekend ahead.

A New Start

After a year and 1 month into the account, this is literally the last day of the P&G account. Thanks to everyone who I had the opportunity to work with - the wonderful P&G media team, the crazy brand managers, and of course, the Carat P&G Planning team --- without whom the 1 year wouldn't have been as bearable.

Kudos to everyone! And here's to a new start. =D

The Cycle of Life

Something I know all too well...I'm now on "Acknowledging Fatness." I'm at my heaviest weight ever. Let's see if I'll move on to "Ineffectual Resolutions" anytime soon. =)

Oh and my oreos is alcohol. =D

Vietnam!!!

Finally, after 2-3 long years, I had the guts to say yes to Vietnam trip with my friends, which was initiated by Cebu Pacific's Seat Sale. The last time was way back in 2006 during my Macau days when I had all the time and money.

I'm soooooo excited!! Can't wait to see the breathtaking and "magical" Halong Bay, absorb the wonders of Vietnamese culture, and taste authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Real pho, real spring rolls, and so much more. =)

Hoping this trip will be worth the upcoming months of savings and "discipline."  GOOD LUCK TO ME =P
