i forgot my camera cable in the philippines last vacation, and a former colleague just went back to hong kong so i had it shipped
i can now post new pictures!
a missing child in victoria park during the mooncake festival. it was a big crowd.
it seems her magic circle of protection lose its charm.
ain’t helped her visibility at all that she got lost. but i was really surprised that she’s not afraid at all. bold girl!
nothing new at the moment, have to finish studying loma ’cause the day’s almost here, yet im so far behind. :-(
I wish I could shrink down to the size of an ant. And maybe there would be thousands of other people shrunken down to ant-size, and we would get together and dig tunnels down into the ground, and live there. But don’t ever call us “ants,” because we hate that. [Jack Handey]
i don’t know but since monday, i have this feeling that something has been stuck inside my head that disrupts its normal flow.
and now, i’m in the office waiting to check for somebody else’s PR promote. pathetic.
a few days ago, i found myself discussing with two college friends on how can we manage money effectively. the following is the summary of our discourse:
i was trying to convince both of them to get on mutual funds…and i was talking to them in different channels so i ended up copying and pasting my sermons on funds.. hehe…i do know that sometimes i look too eager explaining things, that i sound like i’m getting some kind of commissions on this…haha, but honestly, i just enjoy demonstrating things! it’s intellectual conversation anyway.
p.s. reading the book was not my idea, it’s lyelle’s
and about the business thing, hmmm, must be a good idea…i’m still studying what kind of business though…and thanks to abby for that nice store name, ‘CD-R God’.
as i was heading home from work today, people gathered in front of exchange square, some camera men, media, police, and not to be left out, people just minding other people’s businesses (like me, haha)
somebody committed suicide. they tried to save him. the target was missed. blood spattered everywhere, you hear people screaming from their lungs. i’d rather post the picture in b&w to minimize the alarming scene. *ok this para i just invented, hehe*
A man is too apt to forget that in this world he cannot have everything. A choice is all that is left to him.
i don’t feel good today.
living here in hong kong for almost 14 months, i realized i have a better degree of ‘organization’ here. i have better time management for work, play, studying, reading, going to church, and visiting my cousins. i live here healthier as well that i take breakfast almost on a daily basis and have regular exercise (thanks to the free gym in the apartment).
actually just got home from shatin. in the afternoon, i went with my cousin to the shatin library and browsed on some oversized books about architecture. i glanced upon this page about the world trade center, new york… and some pics of the ‘tribute of light’.
i feel that my weekend (which isn’t over yet) has been really loaded. it’s mooncake festival here, so a lot of activities! this was actually my 2nd mooncake festival in hong kong but the first one i stayed in shatin with my aunt, and played video games with my cousin’s friends. yeah, it sounded too boring so i spent it differently now.
walked around victoria park and see the giant lanterns, and watched the dragon dance parade in tin hau. but the bad thing is that i forgot my camera cable in the philippines and i don’t have any means of transferring the pics.
tomorrow i’d probably go to shatin in the morning. sleep sleep now.
p.s. last october 1 was hag’s first birthday! who’s hag? it’s my laptop..hehe. i named it ‘hag’ ’cause i haggled like weeks and searched all computer centers in getting the best deal with my money…and then i ended up buying at a computer store just behind my apartment.
and naming a laptop is not weird! i know of two people who’ve named their laptop as well…
ok, wala ako sa pilipinas at hindi ako personal na naapektuhan ng nakaraang bagyo at malawakang blackout, pero alam ko ang hirap! pinalad kami na hindi pasukin ng tubig baha (dahil nakataas ang bahay ng higit isang metro) subalit balita ko ay wala pa ring kuryente! tubig-motor ang gamit namin kaya’t pag walang kuryente, wala ding tubig! ‘yung tita ko na nakatira sa isang subdivision sa binan, sabado pa lng ng hapon ay may ilaw na! ano nga ba ang dahilan at inabot ng pagkatagal-tagal at hindi pa rin naaayos ng meralco? balita ko sa ate ko ay nagnakawan daw kasi ang mga kable ng kuryente nung kasagsagan ng bagyo. susmeyo! pati pa naman yun! sana nakuryente na lng sila!!!!
ayan, nainis tuloy ang meralco at ayaw kumilos!
‘yung isang classmate ko nung college kausap ko kanina, wala pa ding kuryente sa kanila sa calamba. bakit? parehas lng ng kaso, nakawan din ng kable ng kuryente! inis din sya, lalo pa’t apektado talaga sya. sabi nga ‘nya kakainis talaga at pag-nakuryente ang mga magnanakaw, walang tigil na kakakutya at paninisi ang aabutin ng meralco at hihingi ng tulong sa gobyerno ang mga pobreng lintek. ibibigay ko ang isang buwang sweldo ko kung walang aktibista dyan na gagatong at makikilahok pa na boycout-in ang meralco. haay… nakakasawa na. ano ba ang kulang sa pilipinas? ang hirap kasi sa pilipino, tamad! ayaw magtrabaho, lagi na lang umaasa sa easy money kaya madaming magnanakaw at illegal na mga operasyon.
pilipino! oo, ikaw! gising! mahalin mo naman ang bayan mo!
