Friday the 13th

I don't really know what's with Friday the 13th. When I was a kid, I was told that this day is prone to bad lucks? If it really is, so be it. As you might have noticed, not all days are lucky for us. We always have a bad days for at least once in a week and not all of them fall on Friday the 13th. If my memory serves me right, during my high school days - 4th year level way back in 2004, Wednesday was my bad day. Yes all through out the school year, I hated Wednesdays. Anyhow, this year's Friday the 13th was just amazing. I mean, everything was unplanned except for the UP Cookout.

I woke up 10AM, went online to check emails and updates, at the same time thinking that it would be an unproductive lazy Friday. I was on leave, got no direction on the early noon. Then a text message came through my inbox. And realized that I need to drop by at Ayala to give my donations (used clothings) for the recent T.Padilla Fire Victims. I was a bit late with the schedule, that wasn't planned properly - last minute syndrome as I call it. It was exciting - adrenaline rush took over.

I took a bath, rushed to the office to get my camera, headed to Ayala to meet Iggy for the donations, I got caught in the traffic, the weather is hot, I forgot to bring a hanky and I was sweating a lot *pfffft*. After I met and gave my donations, I rode a cab and went straight to Parkmall for the "CAMS Got Talent" an affair conducted by the Masscom students in Cebu. When I arrived at the venue, CIT-U was already done with their presentation. Why CIT-U? Because Clads, invited me there and I wasn't able to take photos of them. Anyhow, what we did is basically camwhorings - as always.

UP Cookout 2010
Unlike last year's cookout, this year is kinda different. I mean there was lesser number of people who attended the event, the crowd is not the same as last year's. And one unexpected thing, a certain person suddenly asked me if I'm from UP, and did a bit of interview about the cookout- it was just uhmmm shocking? I don't know. But I wasn't prepared enough. The camera man was already rolling the camera facing me. I was like uhmm got caught again in stage fright. Anyhow, they're from MagTV Cebu. And I think some folks saw it when it was aired last Sunday (August 15, 2010). Just sharing. :P

So how was the cookout? Just like last year, only 5 of the group survived - Mikyu, Jessa, Tiannex, Brian and yours truly. The same set up as last year - we conquered the night of Friday the 13th and went home on the next morning!

Photos will follow.

Thank God It's Friday

August 06, 2010 Friday - I managed to swap duty schedule, thanks to Joyce for the offer, instead of 4PM to 1AM shift, I was on 1oPM to 7AM shift yesterday.

Yesterday, I attended the SM City Eco Bag Launching 2010 and witnessed the unveiling of their new Eco Bags. Unlike the typical SM GREEN BAG they previously had, SM City had released new designs with colors signifying the 4 elements: air, earth, fire and water

• Flow – represents the element of Water
• Spark – represents the element of Fire
• Renew – represents the element of Earth
• Breathe – represents the element of Air

After the main affair (unveiling of the eco bags), foods were served. And while everyone were busy eating, the UC Chorus at the same time entertained everyone in the activity center. They played several songs. The group sung very well.



INCEPTION: with Z and Doris
After the SM City Eco Bag Launching, I waited Doris to arrive. With her was Z (her friend) and we met at Coffebean then went straight to Cinema 3, and watched Inception 2D.

Inception: A review
Inception is a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind - inceptionmovie.warnerbros.com. I like how inception is being done. I mean, the process of planting an idea and entering the dreams of others to obtain information is pretty cool. I like the part wherein one can create things/projections in their subconscious. But in the case of Dom Cobb (Leonardo de Caprio) who is a skilled thief, he steals valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. How do you wish you have that skill? Oh well, it's complicated really. Alright then let me give my rating, uhmm 4 out of 5, where 5 is the highest. Not that bad, eh?

After we watched the movie, we had a bit of camwhorings, ate at KFC, sat at Coffeedream, went to National Bookstore, and then headed straight to Jolibee near JY where D met her friend.

It was indeed a great Friday! I think I am starting to love Friday. (LOLs). Thank God it was a wonderful Friday!

I made my own havaianas

Last July 29, we were lucky to get invited to the 5th Year celebration of Make Your Own Havaianas Philippines at Northwing SM City Cebu. It was my first time to experience making my own havaianas and I would say, it was hard for me to decide what design I should pick. So I ended up getting the black MYOH 5 theme with the glow in the dark strap with a peace guitar and a high five pins. Unfortunately, they ran out of the glow in the dark straps that time. T_T. Anyways, I chose the gold strap instead. (oopps I think I didn't take a photo of my Hava)

Anyhow, after the end of shift, I still managed to slept for over 2 hours. and when I woke up, I headed straight to Waterfront to meet some bloggers and media for an event. And btw, I was the official event photographer of the said event and it was my first time. The event was dubbed as "Kraft Cheez Whiz: Palamantasan ng Sarap" an activity that is conducted by Kraft inline with this month's Nutrition month which was held at Lapulapu City Central Elementary School.
