July 21, 2007, my sister's 19th Birthday celebration, it was supposed to be done on July 19, her birthdate but since she's in school and I got work, we're not able to get a better date but this one. Anyways, we enjoyed it though we had to wait for her because she got some activities in school.
Ratatouille cum Simpsons
Last Saturday, August 11, 2007, me and Jeff went straight to Glorietta 4 to watch Ratatouille, it's the newest Pixar movie, so eventhough I get disgusted whenever I see rats, we still watched it. The movie and plotting were good but still I get squimish (I don't really know how to describe what I feel) everytime I see flocks of rats squirming in the kitchen of Gusteau. I don't think they're still clean enough to prepare food for humans. Anyways, I still tried to enjoy the movie and I was happy that it ended even before I puked. When we got out of the movie house we saw this Simpsons statues. I personally like them but not to the point of watching their movie. Enjoy the pictures.
Capping and Pinning...
Sunday, August 12, 2007
Last Friday was indeed really tiring, I started out waking up earlier than my daily ritual. I had to prepare for the whole day. I went to work, attended the training for three hours then left because I had to attend something really important. I then went back to my station to finish a little more of duties in Dell. I then went to my friend and previous colleague in Siemens to pay my dues. After nearly 15 minutes waiting for her at the lobby I went straight to Cubao to find a more comfortable footwear, since nothing fit my somehow small size of 9 inches foot I just shrugged it off because I know I'll have to content myself with my 1 inch sandals. I headed for SM North since I'll have to meet my mom there so she could get a decent clothes to wear for my sister's big day. I waited for over an hour for her so I went to Jollibee to have a quick brunch, im glad I did. So, we spent 30 minutes trying to rush things and looked for that special blouse that would fit my mom, who I think is a size 15, I know because im almost her size, hehehehe.. So, because we're so in a rush, as soon as she fitted the first brown blouse we headed straight to the cashier and paid it. We almost ran because my sister kept texting mom to rush straight to MCU. While inside the cab we took turns in painting our faces and lips to be a little bit presentable. We came there almost late because they were about to start when we took our seats. The program started with a thanksgiving mass, whew one of the longest catholic mass I've attended, it took almost an hour and a half. Then the main part of the program started, my sister's and her colleagues' capping and pinning. It was a memorable experience for my sister and my mom, it signifies that their dream is almost near, she's about to reach them. Though it was tiring, I know my presence did made her day. I wanted to spend more time with them and go back to Valenzuela to sleep and rest but my work on Saturday did not permit me to. So, tiring as I am, after a sumptous (wow) meal at Jollibee I headed back to Pasig, I got home around 11 pm. I nearly ended my day but because Jeff usually arrives at 1 am, I had to wake up to eat dinner with him. Such busy day but it was well worth it.. Probably tom I'll upload all the pics. No time right now..

Training
Wednesday, August 8, 2007
I've been in Dell for over 5 months and I have to undergo another training. We're now converting to SMB (Small and Medium Business) from CTS (Consumer something). The first day was a little boring, today, I'm learning more and more. We've discussed more on computer's basic parts. We've started with the mobo, proc, power supply and memory. I've learned just a little more than what I have stored in my head. Now, I have learned that mobo's have ATX and BTX, memory chips differ in speed and sizes and they have their own configuration. There are different kinds of power cables, one that attaches to mobo, storage devices and proc. We're just a little half way through the day and we still have so much to learn. Probably in the next couple of days I would post a few of our pics.

One of the worst news I've heard last week during a call was about this bridge. I was on a call when my caller, who was watching her TV while troubleshooting with me suddenly made comments like, Oh, that's horrible.. It's terrible.. Oh my God.. At first I didn't really know what to do, I don't want to shrug it off like nothing really happened. So, I decided to see this link about the incident. Please click the link.

Challenges
Life had been a little tough for me and Jeff, I've never imagined that we will reach as far as getting money from a person who lends money for an interest rate of 20 percent. Whew that was hard, getting just P4000 was really tough, I had to come up with some IDs, since I wasn't that informed and we badly needed the money I had to leave our medicards and his work ID. Good thing was a week ago he was able to get his back pay that was due last month, which we waited for so long. God still blessed us and we were able to get back my ATM and the IDs we left her. We were also able to survive this week's so to speak, drought. With just P1000 we're now trying to survive until my payday on Friday and his payday on the 15th. By then, we would be able to pay our debts. The P500 I owe my friend, the P500 we owe our Godmother, my credit card bill that amounted to I guess, P10,000, our rent for P6000 and some other bills I really have to pay. I know God will give us the courage to pursue life together while battling life's challenges.
