Chasing Daydreams

Went to Anilao with Billie for her annual dive. We got there quite early and had to wait for the divemaster to finish breakfast. When he arrived, it turned out to be Jake, the same divemaster from my previous dive. He asked us where we want to dive and we chose to dive Sombrero and [...]

Merry Christmas! It’s the season for giving and a very apt time to share The Gift of the Magi, a story from long ago that I recently rediscovered.

Yesterday, we had our department Christmas party. We first went to Global Gutz for paintball. It was tough going there because of the horrific traffic. But we all eventually got there and Sir Sonny himself briefed us. We then played 2 rounds of capture the flag and 2 rounds of speedball. It was tiring but [...]

Earlier this evening, Migs and I were talking about the raffle during the managers’ dinner at the big boss’ place. We complained that we don’t ever win at raffles. Well what do you know? There were two watches raffled out and he and I got both. Haha. Too bad they are not Orange Monsters but [...]

And it has to have good bang for the buck. I started by researching on the net and gradually narrowed down my choice to [...]

Last week, Rodec (aka Bob) texted me reminding me about his wedding. He then went on and said he noticed I take good photos and asked if I can be a backup photographer during the wedding :P I’ve never photographed a wedding but who can say no to that, right? Haha. So during the wedding. [...]

Stupid taxi backed up on me last saturday. Okay, maybe it’s partly my fault, I should have stopped or at least honked him. But what’s done’s done and I ended up with both my left side doors dented. The doors were still working but it irritated me so much. So last monday, I went to [...]
