Training in Mandarin Oriental

Last October 29 and 30, I attended a technical training in Mandarin Oriental...

Yeah, you read it right, October 29... i somewhat reported for work na rin on a holiday, such a kill-joy talaga... all along i thought i could have a loong weekend already just like anybody else but I was not able to... no choice eh...

the training was about Requirements Analysis (A UML Use Case Approach) Course... whoa!!! too technical you might say... but i enjoyed it and i really learned a lot and was already thinking on how i can apply it in my work.

but more than the training I enjoyed the food... morning snack was scheduled every 1030am to think that the training starts at 9am... then after two hours, we will have lunch and then after 2 hours, we will have the afternoon snack...

by the way, of course the company will not send me to a training without them benefitting from it... so in exchange to that external training I am obliged to stay in the company for 5 more months, if not i will be paying the full amount of the training...

to top it all... it was a nice experience... i was physically and mentally full for those past two days... pero sana naman, my next training would be able to push through in New World, i heard the food there is buffet... hehehe...

My New Baby...

actually, it is not that new, it has been almost a month now since i got my new baby.... and i really love this new baby of mine.... when i saw it, i knew that we were meant for together...

so without further ado, let me introduce you to my new baby....

MY NEW PHONE

yes, i am officially announcing it already... i got a new phone... well it has been almost a month now since i got this new phone... and so far so good, i am enjoying it, we are both having fun together...

i needed to retire my old phone already since i had been using it since march of 2004, so we've been like together for four years now... and i knew that it was time to get a new one even if enrollment for my brother's second sem was fast approaching.... AH! i still got to buy a new phone!!!

at first i wanted to get an iphone... but i was afraid that even if i got it hacked, bka eventually masira din at masayang lang pera ko... so i got this one instead... originally, it's 27950... but since im not able to pay it in full, i paid a percent in cash and the rest, i used my mom's credit card, so lumalabas, the phone costs 29450....

what the heck sabi ko, i want it... though i was still having second thoughts, kasi il just add a few thousands, i would be able to get a Treo or a new PDA phone... pero cge na nga, nabuksan na nung clerk ung phone i dont have any choice na...

besides, Treo or PDA phones do not have a good camera as this... my phone has 3.2 mp, not bad, right?

it also comes with a 1GB memory, not bad na rin, kasi i have my laptop naman, so I can always transfer files to it....

kaso ang bad trip lang....
- i found out that in greenhills it only costs 23K something....
- and a friend of mine bought an iPhone over ebay.ph for only 23K
- the bro-in-law of my sis is selling an iPhone for only 23K...

sabi ko na nga ba eh... i should have waited for a while... pero nah, iphone only has 2MP, u cant use all of its features since they are configured for US' use... also, by next year they will be releasing the 2nd generation of the said phone... so okay na rin... hehehe...

and besides, i get to listen to MP3s and watch movies in my phone, so almost the same features na rin, un nga lang, iphone has more storage capacity... :)

if you want to check the other cool features of my phone... you can visit the following sites:
Cnet Asia Review and Sony Ericsson P1i.

for now... im happy with my phone... this is an early birthday gift to myself already... mmmuah!!!

Bowling Game - Finals

Last November 3, our company had its Finals for our Bowling game... And luckily our team made it to the Top 6 teams... This time I made it a point to go there early and not be late, of course, me 20 points deduction na ang late eh, hehee...

anyway, the team practiced, and I was able to get 160... and so the games started, i was part of the first 5... first few frames were good... but i dont know what happened, pumangit ung laro ko... i was only able to get 109. haaaay, syempre with that score, i can no longer play the second game...

luckily, the mas mataas pa ung score ko sa pumalit sa akin... so i was able to play during the third game... luckily, there was an improvement, i got 128... but still not my day... kung tutuusin, i got 160 during my practice eh... haaaay....

but our team made it to the top 4... how? we didnt know either... since okay na rin ung laro ko, nakapaglaro ako for the finals... again, the first few throws were okay... but all of a sudden, pumangit na ung bato ko... cguro pagod na ako... unfortunately our team did not make it to the top 3... haaaay...

here are my scores for the entire season....
