How should you react and what should you feel if you've seen your ex-partner that you haven't seen for years?

*sigh*

Good thing Jay brought his notebook here at 21 Restaurant. I'm able to post kahit na mabilis lng.

We're editing our Christmas AVP and I'm excited about the finished video.

I'm leaving for Iloilo tomorrow! I'm soooo excited. I'll meet Ross and the rest of my friends tomorrow. I'm also wishing to meet my "ex". =)

Merry Christmas to all!!! ^o^

Rotary Year 2008-2009

YAY!!! CHAMPION NA NAMAN SI MANNY PACQUIAO!

October 3

This year, the organization would want to stand and make an impact for the environment especially for climate change.

The start of the 3-Phased project of Rotaract Club of Bacolod North for this year started. We needed to gather funds for us to build a Materials Recovery Facility in one of the Gawad Kalinga sites here in Negros.

Together with Gawad Kalinga, Solargen, Rotaract Munting Pag-asa and our club, we made the advocacy fun run a success. The run started from Convergy Bacolod Site at One San Parq in Mandalagan and ended at the Capitol Lagoon; an almost 3 kilometer stretch. All of the participants were drenched in the rain but enjoyed the activity.

The goal of this activity was to set the expectation of Bacolodnon that we need to change for the environment and that we have to segregate our solid waste.

I would like to thank personally the entire team for putting up with me though I kept on bugging them the entire time during meetings. I would also like to thank our Site Director, who gave her support for this cause and encouraged my colleagues to join the run.

To our sponsors, Convergys, Globe, Propel, Metrobank Purple Hearts Club, Killer Bee 106.3, Petron, Shell, Bob's Cafe and the Rotary Club of Bacolod North.

My gratitude also goes to the head of NSTP of the University of St. La Salle and to the SAC Coordinator of the University of St. La Salle - Integrated School.






(grrrrrr... it's soooooo slow!!!! ang hirap mag upload ngayon... just when I had the time to post the pictures)

I'll just have to upload the rest of the pictures some other time then.

We are slowly meeting up with the rest of the team for the second phase of the activity which is to put up the MRF. I'll update my post if there are new developments.

This was an email from a friend, a petition to stop people in Denmark from killing these
poor creatures.

These are dolphins for crying out loud!




















The emails says...

"Denmark is a big shame The sea is stained in red and in the mean while its not because of the climate effects of nature.

It's because of the cruelty that the human beings (civilised human) kill hundreds of the famous and intelligent Calderon dolphins.

This happens every year in Feroe island in Denmark . In this slaughter the main participants are young teens. WHY? To show that they are adults and mature.... BULLLLsh

In this big celebration, nothing is missing for the fun. Everyone is participating in one way or the other, killing or looking at the cruelty “supporting like a spectator”

Is it necessary to mention that the dolphin calderon, like all the other species of dolphins, it’s near instinction and they get near men to play and interact. In a way of PURE friendship

They don’t die instantly; they are cut 1, 2 or 3 times with thick hocks. And at that time the dolphins produce a grim extremely compatible with the cry of a new born child.

But he suffers and there’s no compassion till this sweet being slowly dies in its own blood

Its enough! We will send this mail until this email arrives in any association defending the animals, we won’t only read. That would make us accomplices, viewers.

Take care of the world, it is your home!"

I had never felt this sick this year! Sore throat, headache, watery eyes... I wanted to go home just when I arrive at the office. Thank goodness we do not have work tomorrow since it's Cinco de Noviembre.

This is a short explanation about the holiday tomorrow from Wikepedia.
The Negros Revolution, now commemorated and popularly known as Al Cinco de Noviembre or Negros Day, was a political movement that in 1898 created a government in Negros Island in the Philippines, informally ending Spanish control of the island and resulting in a government run by the Negrense natives, at least for that part of the archipelago and for a relatively short period of time. The newly established Negros Republic would last for approximately three months. American forces landed on the island unopposed on February 2, 1899, ending the island's independence.

------------------

We pray to those who passed away because of the fire last November 2 in Barangay 19. The fire consumed 60 houses and left 20 people charred in their houses. The news reports that the fire was caused by a lighter candle.

Last Monday, I had been receiving text messages for old clothes and other things that the victims would need.

Paul Moles from Killerbee also talked to me for this donation drive for the victims. The Rotaract Club of Bacolod North also initiated this campaign and asked families and friends to help out our homeless brothers and sisters.






-------------------

On a lighter note, I received a lot of help and donation from family and friends for the Tsinelas Drive.

I am excited to give these out to the kids of Suarez Elementary School in Hacienda Felicia II, Victorias City. I was able to talk to their Principal today and Mrs. Barcoma was glad that we chose their students to be the beneficiary of this drive.

My colleagues will also be joining us and will also hand out either toothbrushes or school supplies to the same kids.

I am so grateful to you guys who helped me in this endeavor especially for my birthday!

Don't you just like that?

Thank you again to Ms. Mariel Genito.

We will leave for Victorias on Saturday. =)

I just can't wait!

I didn't do anything today. I wasn't able to go home to visit my lolo. (tamad) So after eating lunch at 4pm, ako ay nagsimba and offered prayers to both of my grandpops and the rest of my relatives who passed away.

Then I went to watch the Time Traveler's Wife. sigh Maiiyak kayo! Promise! It was soooo romantic. I'll look for its book too. =)

...CAB Gellato... Ferrero Rocher... yummmm...


...just passing by...

I was there last October 17 as the premium Brazilian flip flop brand Ipanema spread the Brazilian vibe in the celebration of the 30th Masskara Festival here in Bacolod.





It all happened in Lason Street. Jze, Xiao, Josette and I just finished eating dinner at Pepe's when a truck followed by merry makers paraded the busy street of Lacson from the intersection of the said street and Ramos. Of course we joined the crowd as the hypnotizing music was played.

On the truck was DJ Zigi (Leandro Zayco) with his Patiqueros pumping the beat and mixing the Mexican music as they led the queue of people dancing.






"Living the Fantasy" was Ipanema's campaign to bring the famous Brazilian spirit of carnival and joyous street dancing to everyone with Ipanema's Drum Dance.
