Time after Time

Here I am, updating my blog after n number of days. Why do I have the time to do it? Guess why? Simple... Winston told me to come as early as 8am (I came around 10am -> hehe) so that we can arrive early as well at NBI Carriedo and can also go to Sampaloc for his quest for the "PERFECT LAPTOP" before meeting our Circuit01 friends around 4:30pm for a movie/bowling gimmick at Megamall. And what did I get to see? -> a Winston who hasn't taken a bath - in his full sleeping attire. And it's already 11am... O well, what a waste of precious time. Anyway, this might really be what are friends for - to understand each other's shortcomings.

Okay, too much about my rant...

What I really want to tell you is my own wasting of precious time these recent days. After my short stint in e-PLDT Ventus, I morphed from being a nocturnal yuppie into a 20-something bum in a wink of an eye. Instead of devoting my 5 weekdays working on my thesis, I usually stay at home, playing Diablo II, Age of Empires II/III, Nemesis of the Roman Empire and the infamous Counterstrike - with my fellow-bum-cousins/friends. I and my thesis partner haven't submitted any progress report, save one (the first and so far the only), to our thesis adviser.

That is why I must work double time and allot my nights studying and working on the ins and outs of our ECE198 project. You will surely see me online frequently until June 6 - the first DSP general meeting for the coming semester. We are expected to report about the development of our project.

That's all for now. Hope to hear a lot from you dear readers and expect to hear more from me soon.

Au revoir!

My Bestfriend's Wedding

6 April 2006 @ The Church of Jesus Christ in the Latter Day Saints White Plains, QC/Kamayan Restaurant EDSA Greenhills

My girl-bestfriend in high school married her churchmate Sam last April 6, 2006. She just turned 22 on the 30th of the same month. My 22-year old "ex"-GF also tied the knot, this time a month earlier (March 12). I am turning 22 this September... Now, I ask myself, am I old enough to follow suit? or am I just an immature/childish little boy who still wants to enjoy the independent life of a bachelor? I assume that the latter one is more plausible.

What is the right age to wed someone? I hope for an ideal family life though I expect for the opposite.

Anyway, here are some of the moments I shared with my bestfriend Pam (and her groom Sam) on her wedding day with some of my closest friends in LICS: Jam, JFel and Jaycee (plus Noah with her husband and baby).

Ten Things You Didn't Know About Niño

10. He was supposed to be given the name Richmond, so as to keep the consistency between his name and the names of his siblings which both start with R -> Rafael III and Rochelle. In a lucky turn of events, his Sto. Niño-devotee-parents christened him with the name of the Child Jesus, instead.

9. This boy carries a very holy name: Niño De Jesus Eustaquio. It is very obvious that the first and middle names are namesakes of our Saviour; what you might not know is that Eustaquio is also a name of a saint -> San Eustaquio or St. Eustace, a legendary warrior of the 2nd century Roman Empire.

8. The first ever school fight in which he was involved was (shamefully speaking) with his girl classmate back in the 2nd grade. This caused him his academic awards, having good manners and right conduct as one of the criteria for choosing the top student. He later realized that the girl he quarreled with then is now a beautiful lady.

7. In 2001, senior high school student Niño wrote his autobiography entitled "Of Falling Down and Getting Up". Half of its contents are composed of pure visual aids -> photographs, in short.

6. Back in 1984, Niño is an unplanned (but not unwanted -> those are two different things!!!) child of a 40-year old tricycle driver and a 36-year old housewife. His brother and sister are 11 and 9 years older than he is, respectively.

5. He doesn't eat chicken... Sounds weird? It is more of a personal choice and preference rather than a matter of allergies and pet peeve.

4. He is a self-confessed person with memory gap and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Much have been said...

3. He has once filed a legal case against two individuals, a 20-something family man and a minor guy. He sued them for slight physical injuries within the halls of Pasig Regional Trial Court. The case was eventually settled with the mediation of the fiscal/prosecutor lawyer.

2. This hottie is indeed a hottie! He won 1st Runner-up (and 3rd Best in Talent) in a "campus hunk" competition at his alma mater La Immaculada Concepcion School -> 1999 (3rd year high school). Do I hear the girls screaming???

1. With his outspoken personality and spontaneous humor, the tip of the iceberg is just what you see from the outside. Come and explore his inside mysteries that are yet to be discovered -> know him more by frequently visiting this blog.
