The banners for the new Harry Potter movie are now available online. Haha. I just saw on Click the City . Go get -em if ya want -em bloody banners! I remember the first Harry Potter movie that came out, I had no clue what it was about. My girlfriend was explaining to me while we were watching. lol. You can probably say I'm one of those converts. I have since then read and enjoyed all the Harry Potter books and have all the movies so far on DVD. lol! So 'ere's the 1 and a half (almost!) minute trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, coming out on July 16 in the Philippines...

Baguio City, Philippines is a well loved vacation destination for Filipinos and foreigners alike, with numerous touristy places to visit and a weather that's perfect for those who seek to get away from the heat and humidity of the city.

You will pass by SM North EDSA  on your right (now one of the biggest malls in the world!) and just go straight until you see the entrance to NLEX (National Luzon Expressway) on your right...

I got my new queen size mattress yesterday! Thanks to my dad for getting me one. Haha. I went from single bed to queen size bed! It's great! This morning, I was stretching on my new bed, testing the expanse, reaching for the edges. It was so good I wanted to sleep all day. Haha. (And I was actually late for work because of it!) I'm excited to buy new bedsheets. :D sleep all day - jason mraz His after moan though cries oh no Hes building up a shine but he take it slow And he knows it time to make a change here and time to get away And he knows its time for all the wrong reasons and time to end the pain But he sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again Why dont we?

Filipino Blog of the Week Winner for Week 153 This has been a very stressful but uber awesome week for me at work. And a great weekend-icing-on-my-cake is winning Filipino Blog of the Week! Uber Awesome indeed! I was lagging behind on votes: at 2nd place (28 votes to the leading contender's 40 votes!) because when I posted it last week, I didn't realize you could vote once a day! So I was really surprised to find that I had won it! I won only by a margin of about 1.5 percentage points! Haha. That actually meant the judges and talk , author of The Composed Gentleman, gave me just enough points to win. Nevertheless, I wouldn't get 2nd place without your help! So THANK YOU for voting! Just to explain a bit, votes account for 55% of your score, 35% from pre-appointed judges, and 10% from blog owner, talk. By the way, I'm up for votes again this week. If you have time, please go on over to The Composed Gentleman and give me a VOTE! And yep, you can VOTE ONCE A DAY!

My thoughts about a mineral do not come up with several Quite opposite! A general feeling like a struggle... My freshman year I was "Opal" Which now I learned isn't a mineral! because opal has no crystal- -line structure..thats for real!

On my birthday (hehe) Forbes' published this year's list of wealthiest people in the world: The World's Billionaires. You can find the full article on the Forbes' website . According to the article, there are less Billionaires this year than in 2008, largely because of the economic recession. For 2009, there are only 793 billionaires. From Wiki, the current estimated population of the world is 6.76 billion, which makes the billionaires oh, about 0.00000012% of the population. Haha. The Top 3 are still #1 Bill Gates (up from #3 last year), #2 Warren Buffet (down from #1 last year), and Mexican telecon titan #3 Carlos Slim Helú (down from #2). Without further delay, here the list of Billionaires, top 10 only... #1 William Gates III $40 billion Microsoft/U.S. #2 Warren Buffet $37 billion Investments/U.S. #3 Carlos Slim Helú $35 billion Telecom/Mexico #4 Lawrence Ellison $22.5 billion Oracle/U.S. #5 Ingvar Kamprad $22 billion Ikea/...

Quickie post! Did you know that the term VEGETABLE is not a botanical term, but only a culinary term? Did you know that a tomato is NOT a vegetable but a FRUIT! Well, a BERRY to be precise. It is referred to as a vegetable in culinary terms, but it's really a fruit (like a coconut is not a nut but a fruit!) And the tomato is NOT the only culinary vegetable that is a botanical fruit: eggplants, cucumbers, and squashes of all kinds (such as zucchini and pumpkins) share the same ambiguity. VEGETABLE backwards is ELBATEGEV. - random! From the letters in VEGETABLE, you can form the following 5-or-more lettered words: table, beget, beetle, bagel, gable... add some more!

Even though we don't celebrate it here in the Philippines, this traditional Irish blessing has a very special meaning for me. When I was on tour around USA and Europe with my college choir, we would sing this blessing everytime before we leave a tour stop. We usually stayed with locals at every stop, sharing wonderful moments and memories during our short stay. Every place that we left was a sad goodbye to the friends we made, sometimes it was goodbye for good. We often sang this around hugs and tearful goodbyes, CLICK HERE AND PLAY THE SONG >>> An Irish Blessing by the UP Concert Chorus May the road rise to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sunshine warm upon your face The rain fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again Until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of hand...

A Hydrogen atom and a Helium atom were strolling in the park when suddenly the Hydrogen atom exclaimed, "Oh shit! I lost an electron!" The Helium atom asks, "Hm.. are you sure??" And Hydrogen says, "Yes! I'm POSITIVE!" tee hee hee...

こんにちは、ようこそ！ Here's a couple of weird/unique animals we saw at the zoo in Tagaytay. The first one is a 5 legged-cow... This second one is an albino carabao (water bufallo) with an albino baby... Both photos are from my Valentine's Day 2009 set, Liz and I went up to Tagaytay for Valentine's Day, which will be the topic of a separate post. :p On Thursday we're off to Baguio! Yay!

I spent most of the day processing my driver's license renewal, then went off in a hurry to Makati to get the Baguio staffhouse occupation documents. The day was quite stressful and yet, here I am, at the end of my (birth)day with a big smile on my face and a happy heart. Here's a big THANK YOU to all those who remembered my birthday! ...to everyone who posted a greeting on my Facebook wall! ...to everyone who emailed my GMAIL account! ...to those who sent (offline) messages on the Yahoo! Messenger! ...to everyone who sent me a message on Friendster! ...to everyone who commented on my Multiply and Blogspot blogs! ...to everyone to called or texted me through my cellphone! ...to everyone who called me via landline! (Tatay!) ...and of course to those who greeted me in person! You have all truly made my day. :D

I found out on Friday after work when I opened my Facebook account. I was quite surprised because I didn't know he was diagnosed with Leukemia, and now he's died already. I do remember the first time he broke into the music scene with " Mga Kababayan K o". I was in elementary school and I had memorized this rap song. Haha. Here's a link to Francis M's final blog entry: a Free Mind It's on Multiply, you can add to the 3000+ messages there.

I was on leave from shutdown duty yesterday! And from the looks of things, my weekends will be back for good... well, until the next shutdown. I needed the break badly, and the 2 hour trip to Manila was so worth it. My gf told me I was even talking in my sleep about work! I had planned to sleep until late morning, but I woke up at 7am and couldn't go back to sleep anymore. I got a haircut. I took my car to the vulcanizing shop where they took a screw out of my left rear tire. I watched "21" on DVD (it was okay, except for the weird ending). Had too much to eat (veggies!). Had 3 cups of coffee. And spent quality time with my gf and my family... ******** On Tuesday, March 10, it will be the 27th anniversary of the most amazing planetary alignment in recorded history . "On March 10 their apparent positions, as seen from the Sun, will be closer together than at any time in the last 179 years..." Then on the midnight of the 11th, it will be my 27th birthday. :p I...

Attend Handover meeting at 0600H (at least there's free pandesal and coffee) Update tracking and organize activities for the day (mostly office work) Walk/Bike around the plant and coordinate inspection activities (via a 2-way radio) Attend daily Coordination meeting at 0930H and send out meeting minutes Continue field work until lunch break at 1130H (then drink some more coffee) Back to work at 1300H Field work under the scorching heat of the sun (ouch) Get sunburnt.
