Movie: Sand Serpents

I watched this war movie twice.. in a week. Not because it's my favorite but it's a coincidence that while I am riding the bus last Monday, from hometown to office dormitory, this movie played in the dvd at the bus. I did not finished this movie but instead I chose to get a good sleep while travelling. I think this is one of the perks of long travel: you can fall asleep, watch movies, listen songs, use mp3 player...

But last night, while I was riding in the bus to go home, this was the same movie that was being played...Sand Serpents.. Since I did not finished this movie last time, I became eager to know it's ending part. This was the last scene of the movie.

Among the squad are Lieutenant Stanley (Jason Gedrick, "Desperate Housewives"), Sergeant Wilson (Chris Jarman, "Spartacus"), Privates Kaminski (Sebastian Knapp, "28 Days Later") and Captain Jen Henle (Tamara Hope, "ReGenesis).

Welcome Home my Friend!

Our college barkada composed of six, Renz (my bestfriend, now in Qatar), Malou, Rachelle, Rodalyn, Elvie and me. Elvie works in Qatar and have her one-month stay here in Philippines to visit her daughter which will celebrate on Aug 9. Before that occasion, we decided to meet her and throw a simple welcome party.


This is the power of continuous shots.. :)

Rachelle, Rodalyn, Elvie, Carol and me

About Rodalyn (2nd to the row), prepared her specialty..Sopas! hmmm delicious!

About Rachelle, she is a mother of 2 cutie girls; now super addicted to Farmville


About Elvie (at the center), an old friend of mine since elementary,
works in Qatar for almost 4 years...

About Carol, (my 1 of 2 bestfriend since elementary) because we
were in the same town, same school. Even if we did not see each other
always, constant communication thru text keeps us together.

Malou texted us that she can't come today because she has work. But compromised that next time she will come to meet us maybe on the birthday of Elvie's daughter, our "inaanak" :)

Feels Like it's Friendship Week

My poker game addiction at facebook seems getting harder to avoid. I finished the game at around 3 am, then at 10am, I have to prepare to go to Los Banos to meet my former officemates..

Travel time between our house at Batangas to Los Banos took 2 hours.

We dine out at Bonito's..ordered some pizzas and pasta. Taste was very superb...

At the left side of the photo, is Meanne. She is very funny and would make each and every detail of "chikas" especially about "Adventures of Darna". At the center is Acel, my very good friend. We may now call her Prof. Acel because she just finished her teaching demo at the UP College of Forestry and getting the position. How can I forget the SFFG acronym which stands for Social Forestry and Forest Governance. I worked at the CFNR for four long years meeting this good people.. :) Good work Acel! You deserve the best! A very hardworking person and next to Ate Reggie for being perfectionist...See you again guys in mid August!

Your bright, fabulous attitude can help you overcome silly little details, today. Move on to deal with the bigger picture, when it comes to where you are -- and where you want to be. While everyone else is getting mired down in the petty nuances of who said what to whom, you will be blissfully removed from all of that drama. Happiness is coursing through your veins, showing you that there is more to life than speculation and small-minded gossip. You have better things to do.

I Love Watching...the Crowds!

I love crowds, watching them enjoyed the event makes me enjoy the show as well... That's the reason why, if I have a chance to took some pictures, I usually grabbed that chance. :)

PBA Game (I think this was the game between Ginebra and Sta. Lucia). Oh I have a poor memory, I don't even recall who was the winner that night! haha.. But what I'm sure of is that it was taken last 12-25-2008. I love watching PBA, and any other sports events. No wonder why, even last Christmas Day, I initiated to watch PBA, with my sister.

Our Franchising Business: Soon to Open...Hopefully! :)

A quick way to jump into a busines is by buying a franchise. But to start a franchising business from the scratch, there are so many things you must consider before becoming a franchisee.

Choosing what kind of franchising business.

After some "brainstorming" with business partners, this is the first product we would like to start. We have chosen Red Bowl as our product because at first, our target market and location should be near to our workplace.


I definitely agree that in any business, finding a good location is a must. While having a business meeting, we discussed about the preparations of the product. If we would go for a rice and toppings products, there's a lot of preparations before you can sell this. That's why after some deliberations, we finally switched to O'Noodles which became famous nowadays.










We all know that starting a franchise has its pros and cons. But sometimes we need to try something new to add some spice in our life. After all, the good thing is, it's a matter of fun, adventure and friendships as business partners....

Meeting Day 1 (June 12, 2009) @ Greenhills, attended a seminar, signing contracts...

Recently Watched Movies/Dramas

One of my way to manage stress is to watch interesting movies/dramas..

House of Wax
=> i actually watched it while riding a bus going home from Ortigas to Batangashehe. Going home took about 1-2 hours and I skipped the ending part of that movie.. I can't help thinking what would be the end of that very suspense movie so I continue watching at YouTube..

Drag Me to Hell
=> watched this movie with Poker friends...nana, iwa, junjun, and cheche. the story was fine and some scenes were suspense and some were funny or should I say OA..hehe..

Jumper
=> through DVD

Vantage Point
=> DVD also

He's Just Not Into You
=> copied from nana, romantic movie

Bambino (currently ep8)
=> i am compiling lessons learned in this drama, which can be applied to work:
One of these was:
Guys who don't focus on the workin front of them,
don't have the right to talkabout their dreams

NoDame Cantabile (currently ep4)
=> anime type, funny

Boys Over Flowers (not yet started)
Zettai Kareshi (not yet started)

Horoscope 20090606

That new group of people you've been spending most of your evenings and weekends with? Well, since history repeats itself, you probably won't have any problem believing this, but they're about to ask you to take on more responsibility -- to help them keep the group organized. Of course, you secretly love all this, so don't even pretend to hate it. Just smile and say thank you.
