first time to blog

Ehem! Excuse me sirs & madams. This is the first time that i am gonna be doing an online journal. I exactly do not know how fun this is or until how long am gonna be doing this ***t. I am hoping that my readers will dig whatever i am gonna be posting here. I really think that my routinely life is a bore for me to post any new stuff. But baby, this might be an avenue for me to hone my writing skills.

First stuff, I am thrilled to have a dsl connection at home. Just got wired thru pldt. Well, i have a feeling that my computer at home and me will be having a good relationship, with the broadband internet being my new toy. hehehe! For how long or as to how I am going to utilize my computer and internet, these things keep flashing in my head (downloads, downloads, downloads, mpeg...mp3s, vids , clips, etc, etc...).

Second stuff, Had my work place (desk) arranged and cleaned up for my new flatscreen monitor. I never realized that I had tons of ***t load in my desk and when it got cleaned-up, it makes you feel like it's easier working with a more arranged and neat desk.

Third Stuff, visa application (US Tourist). God, I've heard from an officemate while we were having a tete-a-tete over afternoon break at Jollibee. He's got a 10-year multiple entry tourist/business visa to the US, and told me that there is a system in the US embassy wherein they have to raffle applications and those that will be luckily picked will be granted a US Visa on the spot without even being interviewed. Given the rate of those applications that are denied...I can't help to let myself believe that it really must have been the system in the US Embassy. I am hoping that when we apply, may the Good Lord get our applications picked-up during the raffle...

Fourth Stuff, it's a friday and "gimik" day for most young professionals. I dunno if I am gonna be having a gimik tonight but I do feel like watching "Meet the Fockers" in Glorietta. I also would like to get me some "booze". Let's just see if i can do both or one of them.

Teambuilding in Subic

The week before, I joined my co-employees for a team-building sessions in subic bay freeport zone. It was fun coz it was really the first time that me and my officemates are sheltered in one roof for 4-days and 3-nights. It was fun, wacky, dramatic, and scary. I really like the staff house we lived at. It was cozy, comfortable, but haunted (?). The staff house is an remodeled ranking-officer's home way when subic was still owned by the US Navy, rumors has it that the house a block away from where we stayed was haunted by that ghost of an african-american man. Well, some of the officemates can attest that they experienced it, but not me. I liked the ambiance and environment in subic but truth be told, I wasn't thrilled by it anymore. It still has the same sights as compared to the last time i was there, with not much changes. Well, had been there a number of times years back. And the beach, well, it still is clean but itchy. I dunno what about the seawater there that is itchy. ...

It's time everyone flies...but with Cebu Pacific? Not anymore...

I am going to set this one straight...this has been Cebu Pacific's catch phrase for their air transportation services, "Cebu Pacific Air - It's time everyone (every Filipino) flies". I would like to share this horror experiences I encountered with Cebu Pacific, from ticketing up to actual date of departure. So here goes the story: It was January 9, 2008 that I decided to book a flight for 7 PAX to Puerto Princesa. I booked via their Customer Service Hotline Number. I was booked for a roundtrip ticket from MNL - Puerto Princesa and vice versa. I was given a confirmation day on January 12, 2008 on/before 3:00 PM. Ticket fare is P4,515 per head. Came January 12, 2008, a Saturday - I made my way to their ticketing office in Robinson's place, Manila to confirm booking and pay for the tickets. It was a rainy Saturday and I wasn't able to get on time (before 3:00 PM), but fortunately, I was able to have the confirmation time extended upon informing the Ticketing Agen...

Grab a Taxi vs. Easy Taxi

...and the winner is... Grab a Taxi. I am not really much of a taxi-person. But when circumstances arise that I need to hail one, I prefer to use the free apps from my phone: Grab a Taxi and Easy Taxi. To be fair, I have used Grab a taxi much more than Easy taxi. Have used grab a taxi in Kuala Lumpur and it also has its peak periods where getting a taxi really takes time. Maybe it was the location of pick-up that makes it harder there. But here in Manila, I have no problems using the Grab a Taxi taxi app. Well, there are glitches during peak hours but nevertheless, you are assured that you will get one. But again, it's in your luck if you get one quickly. And what's important is that you can give a feedback if ever you got a cabbie that irked you (example: confirmed to pick you up but never arrived). I prefer to use these apps because I feel much safer to use them than hailing one that passes-by the streets. There are lots of modus operandis that pry on anyone but thet pr...
