Where are you this Christmas?

Most people will answer they are with their family. With their special someone. Me, I am in the office. Spending Chritmas eve with my officemates. Do ou feel sad about me? I think so. Me too, I am sad. I feel like I do not belong to anyone. I want to be alone this Christmas and even on New Year.

I know exactly the main reason why we have to celebrate Christmas. But as human we could never ignore the fact that we want to spend these special occassions with people we love. We want people to recognize, to remember, to care for us.


We want to be alone all the time, but the truth is that we want us to be found.

It hurts but it is true....

The Simbang Gabi

Last Tuesday, December 16, 2008 I attended the morning mass although we called it Simbang Gabi here in the Phillipines. I had the chance to attend the mass because my work shift started in the afternoon that day. Many people as usual attended the mass during the first day of Simbang Gabi. Simbang Gabi is a a Filipino tradition, a novena mass that usually held everyday morning started December 16 until December 24. Filipino has a belief that if you completed the Simbang Gabi for 10 days, inclusing the mass in Christmas day, your wish will come true.

Never I had a chance to complete the mass. And now, although I am a Born Again Christian, I still attend the Simbang Gabi in Catholic church because I use to attend to it since I was young.

Not only it is not normal for me to attend a mass in the middle of the morning but it is also a challenge of your faith with God. Because you are doing not only yourself a favor but with all else to get Gods favor.

One thing I love during Simbang Gabi is the chance for me to eat bibingka, puto bingbong and Tupik and other kakanin. These are local Filipino's delicacies.

Next week, I can attend another Simbang Gabi. Yehey, I can eat Tupik again for the bibingka is not good.

For stress people, listen to Instrumental Music

For the past weeks, I become bored, feel tired and very stress at work. Though there are some idle moments I feel like I am restless and feel bored to do anything.

One time, I open my Youtube and search for instrumental Music. I found hits for Kenny G.

Kenneth Gorelick (born June 5, 1956), better known by his stage name Kenny G, is an American saxophonist. His fourth album, Duotones, brought him "breakthrough success" in 1986. Kenny's main instrument is the soprano saxophone, but he also on occasion plays alto and tenor saxophone and flute.

We have his cassette tape at home but we never play the tape anymore for a past years since nowadays we have dvd/mp3/mp4 player instead of a tape player.

So I started to open most of his music in Youtube. I love his music in Breathless album. Simple because that is the album contains in the tape we have.

I love the following tracks:
"By the Time This Night Is Over" (featuring Peabo Bryson)
"The Wedding Song"
"The Joy of Life"
"End of the Night"

Before, we play this tape before sleeping. While listening, it will make you feel relax and will enjoy listening to his music.

You may try to listen to his song and surely, you will like it too. Try my playlist above.

Simple sore throat may lead to infection

Last week, my throat was aching after eating many sweets last weekends. I enjoyed eating at least 5 leche flan, and other sweets during and after the House blessing / Birthday and at the same time Family reunion in my titas house inn Laguna.

Not only I ate a lot but I also did sung for we rented videoke. At night we had night swimming in their pool for about 2 hours. Hahahahhaha. Not very nice thing to do.

When I get back to work, my throt started to get irritated. I did not take any medicines except chewing strepcils. The next day, I feel like their is a phlegm... opppsss sorry.... now. So I take Solmux (Carbocisteine). But it did not help so I bought erythromycin (Pharex). But it also did not relieve the pain. I started to loose my voice this time when I remember the medicine prescribe by my doctor. It is also Erythromycine but it is brand- Abbot. Erythromycin Stearate Eruthrocin 500mg. After taking 1 capsule and resting a few hours I feel much better. I still take Solmux and after a day my voice came back. I don't know but this Abbot brand is very nice and very effective in this kind of sickness I have.

Sore Throat

Pharyngitis is an inflammation of the throat or pharynx. In most cases it is painful, and thus is often referred to as a sore throat. Inflammation of the tonsils (tonsillitis) and/or larynx (laryngitis) may occur simultaneously, which can make eating difficult or painful.

Most cases are caused by viral infections (40%-60%), with the remainder caused by bacterial infections, fungal infections, or irritants such as pollutants or chemical substances.

Treatment of viral causes are mainly symptomatic while bacterial or fungal causes may be amenable to antibiotics and antifungals respectively.

So my advise, do not take strepsils if you think the first one did not help. Just consult the doctor and take capsule or tablet drug. This strepsils did not help at all in my experience.

Manny have so many Money

This is actually a late post to congratulate our boxer hero Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao for winning over Oscar dela Hoya last December 6, 2008 at MGM Grand Hotel and Casino at Las Vegas Nevada, USA entitled "The Dream Match".

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao WON Total Knock Out (TKO) from Oscar "Golden Boy" de la Hoya in 8 rounds of their "Dream Match". Manny Pacquiao, 29 years old, and champion of four weight divisions, proved De la Hoya why he has been proclaimed by many as the best pound-for-pound fighter.

Manny Pacquiao versus Oscar de la Hoya Round per round events:

Round 1 - Manny's Strong Start
Manny Pacquiao gets off to a strong start against Oscar De La Hoya. Manny Pacquiao connected on his 1-2 combinations with his left tagging De La Hoya quite a few times. De La Hoya proved some signs of aggression late in the round but Pacquiao get along to dance his way out of trouble.

Round 2 - Manny Pacquiao is in Control
Manny Pacquiao stays in control even if Oscar De La Hoya is busier with his pet left jab. Pacquiao manages to sneak his left cross to tag de la Hoya quite a few times and his dazzling ring movement to counterbalance his opponent's six-inch reach advantage. Manny Pacquiao has won the first two rounds.

Round 3 - Fight slows down
The fight slows down. There's occasional vividness from Oscar De La Hoya. Manny Pacquiao counter with a left cross when Oscar tagged him with a couple of body shots. Pacquiao has been landing his left cross at will.

Round 4 - Manny made a Strong Finish
Oscar De La Hoya comes alive in the fourth round, but Pacquiao came up with a hurricane finish to steal the round. De La Hoya lands a solid right to Pacquiao’s face early in the round, his first big punch of the match. But the Golden Boy still cannot find a solution to the speed of Pacquiao’s left cross, allowing Pacquiao to tag him with shots to the face.

Round 5 - Pacquiao in Control
Manny Pacquiao proved he can engage Oscar De La Hoya in a phone-booth slugfest. Pacquiao connects on a solid left near the end of the round from close range. De La Hoya lands some shots to the body in the middle in the round that barely troubles Pacquiao.

Round 6 - De la Hoya Swelling
At the end of Round 6, there is some swelling on top of De La Hoya's left eye. Pacquiao's left cross is still working marvelous for him as De La Hoya has left himself open every time he let loose an attack.

Round 7 - Pacquiao Staggers De la Hoya
Manny Pacquiao shifts into high gear let loose a run of combinations which staggers De La Hoya, leaving the Golden Boy on the ropes for most of the round. However, De La Hoya was still able to stay on his feet.

Round 8 - Pacquiao made a Strong Finish
Manny Pacquiao unleashes an outbreak that has De La Hoya on the ropes in the last 10 seconds. The punches from Oscar De La Hoya are still far and few in between. De La Hoya handled to sneak in a few punches but it lacks the throb. Pacquiao, in distinction, has been connecting at will.

Manny Pacquiao WON versus Oscar de la Hoya
Manny Pacquiao challenged the odds when he beaten Oscar De La Hoya in the welterweight duel at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. De La Hoya declined to come out of his corner after the eighth round, forcing referee Tony Weeks to declare Pacquiao the WINNER by TKO (Total Knock Out).

Congratulation, Manny. You have so manny money and you "pakyaw" al the glory... hehehehe.

The Pink Car...

Let me tell you a very intriguing story about this pink car. Remember me and my team with 24x7 went to Puerto Galera. During our trip going back to Manila we rented a van from Batangas Pier going to our office in Eastwood. On our way home, everybody is start to feel sleepy and maybe we get a little nap during our journey. I am seating on the second row at the back of the van. When we were somewhere, maybe near ESA Skyway (i really don't knwo the place) when cars are bumber to bumber. Suddenly look back and notice a pink car. I don't know what kind of car is that. I have little knowledge with cars for I have no car of my own. In the car were 4 girls around 17-20s. Two in the front and two at the back seat. They look cute but I could not see there faces that much. Everyone seems to be awake that time and since almost all of us are "barako" they become interested in looking with the girls when I told them about this. Now, suddenly my boss notice that the girl right next to the driver was gone. I counted the girls inside and they were three only. Our minds become puzzle and started to think of something... MMMMMM. what is going on here. Remember we were in the skyway and there is a trafic ahead. The reason, we are in the lane for the Toll station. Suddenly when our van move forward the pink car did not move. Now an officer from the toll who is also collecting fee is walking towards to their car and then suddenly the missing girl just appeared right next to the driver. At that moment I notice that her head is in the same direction of the driver. What are the things you can think of this situation? Is it a green thing or just an incident. Maybe the girl was picking up or looking of something in the car floor. She might lost her earings or something so it takes her some time to find it. Whatever the reason this things break the silence in our van. At least we had something to talk about while in the journey going back to our office. hahahhahahah.

Learn how to Swim.. overcome fear with water

One of the things that scares me is to be drowned because I don't know how to swim.

One of my friends at work invited me swimming in our condo in Eastwood Excelsior.

I know I can overcome my fear with water. So I know that I have to learn just in case.

From that day, I started practicing. And at this moment I believe that I am learning.

I learn by my own though it is slow. I started to overcome my fear and now at

least I can lower down my head under the water for a few seconds.

With this it helps me to relieve stress at work. It also good for my health and as a form of exercise.

So for those who really wants to learn how to swim, then my advise is to take a deep breath and control your fear. It takes a lot of confidence at start. Going in to the water is like going in to strong wind that makes you deaf. Peace and calm when you bond with water and never hear any but the beat of your heart.

But of corse the best way to learn it is to enroll yourself to a swimming lessons or have a swimming guru to teach you swimming in professional way. Do not go with my way. hahahahahha.

peace. =)

Team Building in Puerto Galera

Last November 15-16 our team went to Mindoro for our Team Building. We stayed in Talipanan Beach resort. This is my second time in Puerto Galera way back 2005, I can't remember the year anymore.

Saturday morning, around 2AM we travel Manila going to Batangas. We arrived almost 5AM in Batangas pier and waited for almost 2 hours before the big boat (Commandos) begin our island journey going to Mindoro. We travelled for almost 1 and half hour going to Talipanan beach resort. After checking-in to our rooms we started our activities. We test the water in Talipanan while waiting for our tour guide that same day. Around 10AM we started our island hopping. We first did the snorkeling- I can't remember the island or place but our toor guide took us to a place where we can view coral reefs and marine sanctuary. When we get there, we have our snorkeling equipments and life jackets and we paid 50 pesos so that a small boat will tour us around the place while we were holding the rope from it. Very nice although a few times some small shells or creature biten me that makes my skin itchy. After snorkeling, we went to another beach. Buy some pasalubong goods. Then we went to another island where we have eaten our late lunch. We were lucky because our tour guide cook our barbecue for our lunch. After our lunch, we went straight to White beach and did the banana boat. This is my first time riding with the banana boat. I thought I will going to be drowned for I don't know how to swim. Three times we fell from the boat which is the most exciting and challenging part. I enjoyed it very much although I really doesn't like when I swallow the salty water. My throat becomes so irritated with the saltyness of the water. After this banana boat we stayed for a few hours in White Beach. I decided to learn how to swim and I did succeed coz for the first time I was able to float. yehey... Remember that bouyancy in the ocean is high than in the ordinary swimming pool. So it is easy to float. All you need is to overcome your fear.

One of the most unexpected events that day was when we went back to Talipanan beach by land because the skies was dark already when we finish our activities in White beach. We do not know that they are not using their bangka at night. Imagine we walk along the seashore from White beach to Talipanan. How many kilometers is that? I believe we spent almost an hour walking along the seashore. The challenge is that we do not have any lights except the few stars, moon and the lights from our cellphones.

After arriving to Talipanan resort we rest a while and eat our dinner. That night we still have time to do videoke and drink a little. I did not drink because I was taking medicine that time.

Around 10 PM when I get back to our room and sleep. The next day we supposedly have to do treking but we cancelled that because it was raining that morning and we are all tired for so many activities we did on the first day.

We then instead spent our morning sleeping, eating, little videoke and resting in the beach. Around 1PM we packed our baggage and ride to Commandos going back to Batangas port.

We arrived in the office aroud 6PM Sunday night.

Thoughts for today

I become addicted to Heroes. It is a tv series about extra ordinary people with differenct abilities. They are like super heroes which posses abilities like super natural power, healing power, one can fly, a time traveller, etc.

I still believe that there people who possess someone some of these abilities. Am though Ive grown up I still beleive that one day I can poesses an extra ability like an ability to fly. At least in my dreams I was able to experience how to fly, to release an energy ball and to move things.

Hahahhaahaha.

Let me share some good thoughts from Heroes.

We can loose the world
But we can never loose our heart
The world is depending on us
- Ando

I like this part when Hero and Ando was talking to each other.

I took the challenge

I never thought I could act in front of many people. Last friday was one of my most challenging day of my life. I did take the challenge. To act and dance in front of many audience. It is a live act by the way. I make crazy stuff like, dancing and singing. I can't believe that I can do such things. As of this writing, every once in a while I still reminise the time when I was acting and singing the song "I like to move it move it" from the movie Madagascar. People might not recognize me because my face was painted but the news spread easily and I cannot hide something especially in the office.

However, deep within I am so happy. Because my dream of performing in front of many people is a great success. Though our presentation did not win I am still happy because even in my simple way, I was able to make people smile, laugh, happy and able to portray the role that was given to me.

Being part of Trend Micro is very challenging. I did a lot of things which adds more value to me as a person. This company unleashes, allows me to bring out my hidden talent. And with this, I am very grateful to become part of this family.

Actually, it is our Lord whom I wanted to thank the most. He as always bless and provided me a lot of opportunites and abilities to become worthy person.

By the way, I did play the role of King Julien in the movie "Madagascar".

Things You Don't Know about me

Since this blog reveals something about me. It would be a hard time for me to create a blog that will let people know some top secret about me. Now lets begin with this simple secret of mine. Whenever I hear this particular song my eyes started to swolen and tears begun to run on my face. I love this song a lot "Minsan lang Kitang Iibigin". Never ask why, you should know it already. So never let me hear this song for I will definitely gonna be emotional.

Another thing about me, I really love music. My day will never end without you hearing me singing. People at home knows that I love to sing. Though I have problem with my vocal it is my greatest dream to sing in front of the crowd. I will definitly gonna prepare myself for that day so I am planning to take a voice lesson one day.

Does anyone knows that I can survive a week without going out our house. Yes, sure I did. I am home person or an introvert person. I love being alone and do things on my own. I don't know but I can do a lot of stuff even by staying home. I love lying on my bed, reading books, watching tv, dvd or by just listening to my mp3 player.

I am a health conscious person. I have an average built, average weight and a nice height. =) But I always look and conscious with the food I am eating. I eat any food except the dalagang bukid cause it makes me vomit but I make sure that I will not take much of fats and unhealthy food. I do not smoke and very very often taking an alcohol (once in a blue moon or in situation wherein I have no choice).

That's it for now.

More to come to reveal the true me....
